•THE SALARY of Warren S. Stone, president of the Brotherhood j
of Locomotive has been raised to $25,000 per yepr. '
This means that labor is beginning to see the value of manage
ment to the extent of rewarding it.
In every body of 100 or more men it is not necessary to go
outside of it for a leader; on the law of averages there is always
one man capable of wisely and honestly represet ting the organiza
tion.
This has certainly' been the ease with t.he Bi otherhood of Lo
comotive Engineers and Warren S. Stone.
That his leadership has been wise and his reward is just is in
dicated by the fact that under him this organization has built one ;
of the finest office structures in Cleveland, on land purchased from I
one of the largest employers of its membership, the New N ork Cen- :
tral railroad, in which the same railroad is its largest individual |
tenant.
The brotherhood has recently acquired another site for the
purpose of erecting at once a 20-story office structure.
It has also recently' opened a co-operative national bank in
Cleveland, which has grown in resources from $620,000 to $*,824 -
000 in just seven months.
These and many other enterprises for the prosper ity of the body
and the economy of the individual members have been conceived
and put through by President Stone.
And all of them are the results of management.
Ability seeks its reward just as water seeks its level.
And the reward that it seeks is material.
I here is just one way for labor to develop ability within its
own ranks, and that is by materially rewarding it.
Ihe best money a labor organization can spend, the best in
vestment each individual member can make is in honest. < apable,
conservative ma n a gem ent.

QN JUNE 7. 1898, Andrew William 1 tterlinger decided he was
tired trying to suoport a family on sls a week.
He quit his job in Pearl River, N. J., went home threw his fa< -
lory pay envelope on the floor, walked out the door and disappeared.
lor t years nothing was heard ol him.
Ihe other day Mrs. l uerlingcr, now 72 years <>'d, w i- v/cxling
the little garden back of bei cottagi She looked around and
her long-lost husband standing behind her.
"I’ve made a home in Connecticut, ' said he. "A.id I've c< me io
take you there with me."
1 can t decide what to do." says Mrs. 1 uerlinger. “I’ve lived
in Pearl River 50 years. I don’t think 1 can leave. I'm too old to
make new friends and new gardens. And—whcr’ll take care of my
Hower garden here?"
Ladies, what would you do ii your husband di . >pp ,u, I. re
mained away 23 years, then came back to you and wanted to start
where the two of you left off?”
Would you go with him again— till death do ns part ?"
Or would you prefer your flower garden and your other con

Of SALAKILS, the salary and allowance income ol
General Pershing, the ranking officer of the army, is $21,000 .
year.
Next to the president, he is the highest paid official in the fed'.; -
government.
The salary of the chief justice of the Supreme court i> ■ 15 000
a year and of each ol the associate justices $14,500 a year.
Cabinet officers arc paid $! 2,000 a year; senators and repr<
members of the house $/500 a year each.
I he United States commissioner of education is a SSOOO ■■ yr
man. There are dozens of men of the highest scientific .-.ttarnn
in the government service whose salaries are a mere fraction of -..h ■
is paid to the head of our fighting forces.
This is not to suggest that Pershing is overpaid, but the thought
natuiaiiy occurs, that these figures are somewhat inconsistent with
oui non-militarist pretensions.
ER\ NOW AND AGAIN the cables announce that Premier
Lloyd George, suffering from overwork, has been ordered to take
a complete rest.
1 hen in a few days the little Welshman is back on the job. again
shouldering the greatest burden that any British premier has been
called upon to carry for many generations.
I here seems to be no limit to the staying and recuperative pow-
err of the marvelous man who is guiding the destinie.i of the British
Empire during these trying years.
He is the only statesman in a position of great authority in any
of the great nations who has survived the war upheaval, whose phv ;
sical. mental and moral powers have proven equal to the tremen
dous strain of the past half dozen years.
Whether one agrees oi disagrees With the Lloyd George poli
cies; whatever position history may give him, it is doubtful whether
his example of fortitude and courage has been equaled in the last
>0 years of the world s statesmanship. j

> Something of this Kipling had in
j mind when he wrote ‘‘The While
i Man’s Burden.’’ That burden is to
act as steward of the future good
order of the globe. It is not simply
the problem of military supremacy,
, though that is part of it. It is ar,
j economic and an educational and au
ethical problem.
: "Take up> the White Man’s Burden,
the cruel wars of peace;
Fill full the mouth of famine, and
bid the sickness cease.
And when your goal is nearest, th ■
goal for others sought,
Watch sloth and heathen folly bring
all your gains to naught!’’
1 venture to remind the nations
of Europe and the United States that
a careful look at the map of the
; world would suggest that the white,
i rm es would do well to stop killing
' each other. There are not too many
, white men in proportion to the job
