' a delicate question has come up In New York eKy In regard to a strike among the laborers engaged on new* school buildings that are being erec ted. If these buildings are not quickly finished, thousands of children In the city will be without school facilities this wintor. The 111 on complain that the contrac tors are not paying the union wages, and have strurk on this account. To avoid the union wages the contractors are said to be employing alien labor. This brings up an interesting ques tion. Union men claim that public work should not be done by pauper labor. In order to accomplish this, It Is ne cessary to provide that no contract shall be granted by city, county or state authorities, unless it is guaran teed by the contractors that union wa ges shall lie |Mild. If organised labor can get this Just demand granted by our city govern ments. there will then be no trouble in maintaining the wage rate among oth er contractors. And there 1s every reason why the public contracts should |?e let put at union wages. ;, , » MM* fto»»i wto to— tto atotoad *to i •Mp** to— to tto hot tMMf *vt 00m0ifm* mMMSI SS t** SSifl* •* Ihm SMS Ml MSIMwB f Mi «t m wm§ i 0 9*4 **4 Klf m m*»4s Yi 0 «i mm m» mmmmvm+m • **m- i §m it Min Hits m tip ups# mm *it mm «•* mi i mmm t# tin im* pmm mm mm*m mm m tip' m*tmk MM |MMt •##. #»-««# Shml is t4i fiil *mmrm | rtf HHS4* ntn THII f*AlJp!f*AH THAU l«M. a#m«h i« •«•••« ••••i 4 imt jfiirili m *• # « t« *•*«•« tsMf.lfeS At «flp%* -• m m •• •••• UNJI rptßtsi# .• •« m ••• it f*i !*• BMMMpp •* *• •* •• •••• tit IMP HBfti •• •• iltfittMl ||«lP* »*M a •••«•••••••••• • tPS Mt###l#p4 •« •« •« i« ttttt* ntpp*«Mipi, I# •• m tt t* *# •* mm f9IPS Haptip# M •• •• #« •••• istttst mrnrnm mb MSP tNi ifcpww ••«.. mm ittms Hpii CMttflMi •• •• t« mm (MM •* •* •• •*»*•• MNmPIi ScMHfll flilPi •••••••• •• I,™* YftHMMMMSMP •• •• •• •• YTPMS •• •• •• •* •* t*lAil •• •* •• •• »♦•••• TftssPtP •• tt •• •• WtohMCl"* toJto Vpaßit .* •• •• ***** Tmal .. .. - It*-tot tot Tto ni«f that has toa made to tl |he iativltol gold is* allvw totatw of thla teubf I* *®PlI aotoa- Tto OMBstorh IM» "f Virginia CHy.

Our two revered contemporaries are coming along Just now like wild tur keys following a bait through a plney erode clearing, moving slowly and ready to fly. squat or scatter at any sight or sound. Presumably they will have opinions soon after the election is over, but whether they will then ex press those opinions we rannot say. “Come Into the garden. “Maud." and ask us something easy—lnvite us to discuss some subject within the limita tions of human knowledge or the boun darle of human calculation. Do not ask us conremlpg the opinions of the State newspaper and the News and Courier. Both had opinions once, but the years. "Maud.” bring changes, as you have probably heard.” Isn't 's about time that Corollua pa pers and Carolina people got together once more not only tn politics, but in good work for their state and section? Augusta and Georgia need an object lesson of this kind, as much a» any people we know. WOLF TONE'S MONUMENT. Dublin has properly celebrated the laying of the cornerstone of the mon ument to Wolfe Tone, the Irish sol dier who originated the movement that culminated in the uprising of 1798. Theobald Wolfe Tone Is an interosting figure In history. He founded the United Irishmen. He was a Protest ant. He imbibed socialistic ideas and was bitterly hostile to the priests in those days- In the recent celebration of his me morial. delegates were present from the United States, Australia, South Africa, France, Italy. The whole city was en fete and all municipal offices and busi ness houses were closed. Tone was an author as well as an agitator and has left the world an interesting ac count of his adventures in his memoirs recently published. «f«M 911 tmmsmm mm •*!*##’ ***m§ m «** * «*■** ** p tIAWM. ftTCfh' totof Vs *■ |mm *» tow —«4§ • tto -MR Mfi *«§ f*M m mi#** i m fit rtfjt 1 4N* *# tfcwitl H«tf Mit hi>Mf|»lt» vtttoif #® * h)i • * Thf ••rfifr ! rftciry our ptputitiOß 1# pftrly * buo> , (Srnt million#.
