This is labor s most ancient law. It needed no legislative body to enact it. it is the fiat of the square deal. It is a part of the common law of mankind. * At the gate of the lost Eden, God said to man: "in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread." That made the earth a world of work ing people. Man at first thought work was a curse. He soon discover ed that it was a blessing. God was giving him plans for a new and better Eden than the one he had lost. Then into this world of working people came life s most binding custom and labor's ancient law: "The laborer is worthy of his hire. Two things are in that law. ¥ ¥ ¥ The first is the dignity of manhood. It is not labor, but the la borer that steps to the front. It is not labor that makes the man re spectable. but the man that makes labor respectable. The individual comes before the system. Any scheme of society, whether put forth in the name of capital or labor, that ignores or degrades the individual is vicious. Labor unions have their uses, but they are worse than useless when their members become the victims of a system. Capital has its rights, but capital has no rights that are in advance of the rights of the laborer. The man takes precedence of the machine. Labor exists for him rather than he for labor. Let labor project its reforms along this line, promoting and maintaining the fundamental rights and essential dignity of the man who works. Let the laborer lift his work with himself. ¥ ¥ ¥ The second thing in this ancient law is compensation. What shall be the scale of wages? How is the hire to be regu lated? On what principle is the question of pay to be adjusted? Here the laborer steps to the front again. You cannot buy him. Manhood is not for sale. You ar e far gone in lawlessness on the labor question, if you think the wage you pay gives you a title to the soul of the wage-earner. He is worthy of his "hire.". He can stand on his feet and look you in the face, man to man, without apology. His compensation is, therefore, vastly more than a matter of dollars and cents. It is man? hood’s reward. That covers decent living conditions and an adequate wage; but it covers more. It includes what you cannot put on the pay roll—good will, friendliness, mutual respect, human interest, brotherliness. The laborer is of more importance than the organiza tion, and compensation does not stop with the scale. “THEIR CLEAN LINEN" Under this caption the Cordele Dispatch, our estimable neigh bor, takes us, along with two other excellent southwest Georgia news papers, to task in the following fashion: The Americus Times-Recorder, the Moultrie Observer and the Albany Herald are busy airing their clean linen in politics. They have never been unfair. They know they are right because they are sup porting Hoke—and something worse. The rest of us are unfair, mis represent things and have no right to ask for party loyalty at all. Nothing we do is tolerable. We are on the road to and these three have angel wings. Apparently the Dispatch, being a bitterly partisan newspaper, is unable to comprehend that fairness in a political campaign means anything bi t printing only what is favorable to the candidates or pol icies advocated by it. In this respect the Dispatch is with a goodly company, for there are many such in Georgia this year—and every year when partisanship becomes heated. This is not to discount the sincerity and good intentions of the Dispatch or any of the other doz ens of the newspapers included in this characterization. What the Times-Recorder, the Albany Herald and the Moultrie Observer have meant in their advocacy of fairness is impartiality in the hand ling of news reports, and the discussing without bitterness and with only calm presentation of logic issues in the editorial columns. The Times-Recorder has tried, and believes it has succeeded as far as is humanly possible, in giving every faction in this campaign a fair deal. When ex-Senator Hardwick spoke in Americus his speech was reported as fully and as disinterestedly as possible, attention be ing paid only to facts. When Clifford Walker, his opponent spoke, the same was true. Governor Dorsey was given as complete and as fair a news report as could be prepared without a stenographer's script of his speech, and Senator Hoke Smith received as much— and no more. Had Thomas E. Watson and the other candidates ap peared here they would have received the same fair and courteous attention. We believe our readers are entitled to ALL of the facts that, com under our observation, not to those only which suit us best to j give them, or to our opinions or preferences. We believe our only limitations to giving the facts should be. first, ability to get them from reliable sources, and. second, mechanical ability to handle them or available space to print them without infringing too much upon the subscriber s right to the news of the world outside of politics. The Times-Recorder has observed the Dispatch’s reports of the various candidates in Cordele. Not one has it observed in the news columns that was not filled with editorial comment, and in no in stance was one complete in any sense. The people of Crisp county, served by the Dispatch, had to be present at the speakings to get adequate and fair ideas of what really transpired or was said. We d<j not believe that to be the case in Sumter and nearby counties which have had access to the columns of the Times-Recorder, for all sides have conceded our reports fair, truthful and complete. That is what we and the other papers mentioned call honest and clean journalism, of which there is a great need in Georgia today. None of us have allowed propaganda to creep into our columns with out permitting answer to it. We believe the people can be trusted to do the right thing at the ballot box when they’re ENTIRELY inform ed; w e have faith enough to believe when all sides are heard fairly and honestly, and various arguments and candiates then are weighed that right will prevail and the best candidate be selected. By the way. Dispatch, hav e you invited all factions to use your columns for a final summing up just before the people of Crisp go to the polls Wednesday? The Times-Recorder did so for the people of this section and printed statements Sunday from all the principal headquarters except that of Mr. Watson, which failed to make any statement. That is one example of what we mean by being fair and impartial in journalism: there ar e others which we try to practice THE WORLD TAKES OFF ITS HAT TO LABOR Cartoon Special Article BY R. W.

There was a time when it was not inclined to be so polite; but the day for looking down on la bor has left the almanac forever. Time wa. when the tools of com mon toil were a badge of inferiority. The gentry’s coat of arms was not for the men who sweat and work. Things have changed. Labor is in the saddle. There need be no regret that the old order has given place to new and that not arms but tools have become the equipment of straight manhood. No longer is one classified as an underling because he wears overalls and is smeared with the grime of toil. The enfranchisement of labor marks the emancipation of common life. It means that ordinary people are folks, too, ajid that the perqui sites of special privilege are doom ed. The world moves toward democra cy. The tides are all one way. It is the era of our common humanity. Let labor be careful not to corrt- HEAL SKIN MSES Apply Zemo, Clean.

Let it be concerned lest it seek to become another privileged class. The world no more wants an aris tocracy of labor than of arms. It has destroyed a military despotism to set up the despotism of a trades union. The only foe labor needs to fear is Labor. Anything that lives only for itself is doomed. Labor must play the game fair and work for more than wages. It must insist that every man have a square deal, whether he be wage earner or capitalist. It must not make the workingman the victim of his own organization, nor seek to exploit so ciety and control government for its own selfish advantage, , The hopeful thing about the en- j franchisement of labor is that it plac es the emphasis on what God puts first.
