and moral principles. 1t is and has
been the fighting force and one Of
the greatest human factors in accom-
plishing the achievements that man.
kind enjoys in this great period, and
it will, to the end of time, live up
sacredly to these great and blessed
endowments until the human race
reaches the apex of supernal terres-
trial freedom.
Those of the human race, individu-
ally or collectively, that fill in any
way put forth their efforts to abridge
and retard these holy and divine prin-
ciples, are the conscious enemies of
liberty and freedom and our very civ
ilization. The unrest and instability
of the world today is because these
great and supernal principles have
been violated through the selfishness
and greed of perverse human nature.
This unrest is not superficial, but alb
solutely fundamental, because the
evil that causes it, strikes at the very
foundation Of society, and mankind in
general is ever alert to its seriousness
and hence the conflict, on the preser-
vation Of these magnificent altruistic
fundaments.
We are never pessimistic of these
perversities in human nature. These
will be cured as we advance on the
road to greater political and economic
freedom through education and organ
ization. 1t will be through evolution
and not revolution. The process of
evolution is slow but it is sure.
The better we become educated in
and imbued with the magnifcence of
cooperative human brotherhood and
understand distinctly the great spirit
ual and moral forces on which this
great ideal of human love is based;
then, and only then, can we eliminate
these evils of human perversity and
achieve the great altruistic and God
given ideals of the higher and nobler
life that He has ordained and destined
for the Home of the human race.

DIVIDENDS AND WAGES

There is renewed complaint that
while the wages of labor in this coun-
try is on a much higher plane, they
are not in fair consonance with the
dividends of capital. That would
naturally be true under our present
system and probably will always be
true as long as selfish men fix the
rates. 1t is pathetic that great cap
tains of industry have not yet fallen
to the fact that there is an industrial
system by which, automatically, wages
and dividends will be higher through
the establishment of goodwill and the
recognition of common basic share
in productive surplus.
Capital and labor are logically and
normally partners in production.
Capital furnishes the money, without
which the industry could not get
started. Labor contributes physical
strength and skill, detailed genius
and mechanical intelligence. Capital
ought to have primary return on it's
investment, accentuated to cover real
risks. Labor should have a living
wage, adequate to the support of his
family in self-respecting existence.
After the demands of the industry
for a fair return to capital and an
adequate wage to labor have been pro-
| vided, there is surplus that fairly
belongs to both capital and labor, and
it ought to be equitably divided be-
| tween them. This would establish a
real partnership Of mutual and re-
ciprocal interest and put everybody
on his good behavior. 1t would solve
| the problem of industrial peace. 1t
would guarantee the highest and most
constant labor efficiency. Waste
would be wiped out and the public
| would always be well served. Both
the employer and the employees would
| find an accentuation of his rewards
without robbery of the public, whose
dividends would come in the general
abolishment of waste.
Some day everybody will see this
and the millennium of industrial peace
will be apparent. But why wait for
the happy day when it is possible
now? Why not solve the simple
problem and get the answer-univer-
sal happiness

ANTIQUATED CRY FOR
VENGEANCE

Every time ''crime wave" occurs
anywhere, some half baked reaction
ary demands an end to the "coddling
of criminals" and "severer penalties
as a means of ending crime.
If there is any such practice as
the "coddling of criminals it should
be stopped, of course. Cheating bank
ers who have managed to preserve a
share of their loot, and crooks affil-
lated with the dominant political ma
chine of any locality fare well in pris
on-on the rare occasions when they
get there; but generally speaking, the
ordinary criminal Sin stir" has hard
enough time to satisfy anyone.
What is needed to deter possible
criminals, so far as that can be done,
is not greater severity of punishment,
but greater certainty Take the most
serious of crimes, murder. How many
men would commit murder if they
knew - not guessed or feared or
thought, but knew, as they know the
fire burns--that they would have to
spend even ten years in prison as
result? The answer is obvious. I'm
der such conditions, only the weak
minded and those insane from rage,
jealousy or more deep-seated causes
would kill.
Greater certainty is the crying need
of criminal administration in this
country, and that certainty will never
be secured by bowling for a return
to the old-time vengeance theory

STRIKE NOT ANSWER


1t may be that the end of the coal
strike, if not in sight, is at least ap-
preaching. The Golden mine, at Nor
gantown, w. Va, was opened on a
union basis three weeks ago, and
another union mine is expected to re-
open shortly.
The coal strike was called last
April. Since then the mine owners
and spectators have r.aped rich
harvest by charging high prices for
reserve stocks and inferior grades of
coal With these now about cleaned
up, the mine operators are more will
ing to come to some agreement with
the Miners Union.
Sooner or later, of course, the pres
ent strike will end, but we see no
indications of the thorough economic
reorganization of the coal mining In
dustry which will be necessary some
time if we are not to have periodical
industrial wars in the future.
A business policy which earns tenn
porary peace only by the maintenance
of industrial conditions that necessi
tate intervening strikes never can
solve the coal mining problem.-Ex.

ARE TRUSTEES" CHEATING?
Certain business men who control
natural resources like to assure the
public that they are merely trustees
for property interests that have been
placed in their care" and that their
only aim is to serve the dear people,
This is intended to be the last word,
the final alibi, when other defenses for
exploitation fall. In the mine work
ers' strike of 1902 the operators
spokesman-George F. Baer-said:
"The rights and interests of the
laboring man will be protected and
cared for, not by the labor agitators,
but by the Christian man to whom
God in His infinite wisdom has given
control of the property interests of
the country"
This theory is the czarist and kaiser
doctrine transferred to the industrial
field. 1t is as strong as in the days

FREED ON FIRST BALLOT

1t was evidently a clear-cut case Of
desertion. Her lawyer proved that he
had deliberately abandoned her some
six months before and gone to live in
the club. Mere chance had disclosed

was primed.
Then, by adroit cross-questioning,
the defendants counsel brought out
the fact that she had:

The sacred name Of Home is
thing to conjure with. It is synony-
nous with the venerated and angelic
name of Mother.
In all ages, and in all time, and in
every cline, be it civilized or other
wise, the Home is the most hallowed
and consecrated to the heart and soul
of man.
The Home is the foundation of the
state and of the nation-aye, of our
very civilization. 1t is the most pro-
found and highest fundamental that
the human mind can conceive and
which the soul of man adores with all
the enthusiasm of his very being.
The Home is the cradle of the hu-
man race and is endowed by the great
God of the Universe with all the bless
ings and spiritual emoluments of His
magnificent divinity. 1t is the great
balance wheel which preserves the
social order throughout the world, and
perpetuates the human race.
The Home, from primitive society,
all through the ages to this great day
Of civilization, was where the human
race was nurtured and brought forth
in all its sovereign glory through
aeons of the severest sacrifices, trials
and tribulations, and sanctified by the
angelic patience, and holy and noble
achievements of Mother.
1t is in this consecrated spot of ever
hallowed memory where God created
and revealed the greatest of all vir-
tues-Mother Love-which love is the
sweetest, mobiles and most sanctified
that the human mind, heart or soul
can conceive; but which can not be
fathomed nor surpassed because of its
superlative divinity.
1t was from this holy spot that men
went forth to offer up their lives for
liberty and freedom.
History records no greater sacri-
flee than that put forth by mankind
in all the ages up to our day, than
the superhuman effort which was free
ly made for the preservation and ele-
vation of this sublime and celestial
| sanctuary.
1t is for this great principle, the
sanctity of the Home, its maintenance,
preservation, and elevation that are
the eternal and undying fundaments
on which our great labor movement
rests.

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
The state industrial commission has
ordered that all January allowances,
due those entitled to benefits under
the workmen's compensation law,
shall be paid December %. The COM
mission is doing this in order that the
benefciaries can have their money for
use for Christmas if they so desire.
This is a noble action on the part of
the state commission, and no doubt
will be much appreciated by those
beneitting. Payments are made to
5371 persons the first and fifteenth
of each month under awards which
have been granted either for deaths,
permonent and partial disabilities.
In order that all may have this money
in time to do their Christmas shop
ping the commission advances the
date of distribution eight days, thus
giving the pensioners two payments,
the first of which go out on Decem-
Der Is, with the second week later.
Speaking of these benefits, how
many would see many, many Christ
masses pass by before receiving them
if it wasn't for workmen's compen-
sation law as enacted in Ohio. And
the credit for this law is due mainly
and almost solely to organized labor.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

We wonder if strangers coming

feel that they have walked into
Santa Claus headquarters when they
find themselves surrounded on every
hand by the Christmas trees and the
holiday trimmed windows of the local
merchants. Christmas trees in front
Of every store and office building
surely does spread the Christmas air
throughout the downtown district.
Some Of the merchants have hung
ornaments on the trees, and no doubt
most all others will follow the ex-
ample, SO that by Christmas eve
there will be more trimmed Christ
mas trees seen on the streets of
Hamilton than in any other city its
size in the country. Whoever start
ed the move or sprung the idea is
deserving of much credit-though kid
dies are wondering if Santa will have
enough trees to go round.
