" ’Twns ever thus. As fur hack as the
•dnya of Dnnicl Webster labor agitators
were constantly stirring up trouble bo
• tween employer and employee. Tills
is evident from a speech delivered by
the eminent Massnehnsette statesman In
i the U. 8. Senate in 18118. Upon'that oe-
• ciision Mr. Webster discoursed ns fol
1 lows—
“There lire persons who constantly
• 'clamor. They complain of oppression
and speculation, mid the pernicious in
fluency of necumulated wealth. They cry
■ ont.-loudly ugiiinst all banks mid corpor
- atious, and all means by which small
■.capitals become united in order to pro
duce important and bcncflclal results,
They cry out in mad hostility against
all established institutions. They would
.choke the fountain of Industry and dry
• oil streams. In n country where prop-
«ty is more evenly divided thsu any
where else, thev rend the air shouting
agrarian dostrinos. In a eountry of
uatxunded liberty they clamor against
. (Oppression. In a country of perfect
eqmJlity they would move heaven and
earth mgninst privilege and monopoly,
ln>a country where the wages of labor
axe .high beyond parallel, they would
tear* the laborer that he is but an op
pressed slave.’’
Yes, the labor-and-wage problem is as
old as the ages, and not until the mil
lennium may we expect to see Capital
terms of |>erfect amity. Perhaps not
oven then.

You pick up a type and look at it.
How iiisignilicnut it is I Simply n bit
of cold metal, so small that it eludes the
grasp. To the toueh it is dull nud ir
responsive, and its delicate brightness
vanishes forever with a breath. Yet
there is a magic of something embodied
in it that clothes it with dignity and
power. Its discovery marked nn epoch
in the world’s history. Upon that day
light dawned, intelligence began to be
spread, superstition fled, and n new or
der of things appeared. That small, in
significant type wrought a revolution

“Young Olson," he said.

“SHE TEMPTED ME.’’
Carrollton Free Press.
Every once In a while some city min
ister gets on the front page of the big
dailies by making some sensational
charge about women’s dress. Placing
the label of “temptress’’ on the brow
of womanhood is an old. old practice.
To our mind this is an insult to decent
womanhood. The disgusting yammering
of every moral wastrel, every worthless
down-and-out, and every sniveling mas
culine vamp, resolves itself into the nnu-
seuting whine, ‘' Woman caused my
downfall.” It is the rotten come-back
of the time-worn excuse, “The wduian
tempted me, anil I did eat.”
Recently n Philadelphia minister gave
the following orthodox figures' for wo
man ’s “proper” dress: The skirt may
ha night or nine inclica from tho ground;
the back of the wuiat should not be mure
thun three inches below the neck, and
the front not more than four inches be
low the neck; the sleeves should come
at least to the elbow; silk stockings are
morally harmful.
What does that fellow know about it.’
We believe Hint tlie majority of men
will not consider her evil and believe
that she lies in wait to wreck their im
mortal souls. On tlie other hand, there
are many men whose mere lecherous gaze
is profanation, to a woman.
For our pnrt, wo believe it is the ex
ceptional instance where a woman tempts
a man to do anything but that which is
good. When Joan of Arc sought the
way of tlie Cross she wore skirts that
lime only to her knees._ The world lias
been overfed on this libelous “she-
femptod-me” stuff, and it is coming to
feel only contempt for snrtorial direc
tions from its pulpits and platforms.
Tho women we have known intimately
(assessed souls filled with right long-
iigs, pure aspirations, whispering hopcH.
They have been noble wives and mothers,
nud if they want to draw their skirts
above tlie tilth of tlie streets, and avoid
tlie choking collars that fool men wear,
o see no reason why they should be
scolded or blamed for what is merely,
an exhibition of good sense.
OLD-FASHIONED.
Exchange.
“Everything is so old-fashioned
around this town,” exclaimed a young
man the other day. The remark was oc-
asioned by one of those restless, dis
consolate moods which visit every soul
imprisoned in a living body. His use
of the word "old-fashioned” seemed ont
of place, although we frequently apply
it te tluit which is dull and tiresome,
because tlie more we think, tho more we
investigate; the more we leorn, the more
o become convinced that “there is
nothing now.” Tho sun has never failed
to ^Hit tlie eastern sky each morning
and tinge the west ut night, though his
Inily visitations have been unceasing
for iigos beyond the comprehension of
man. Beautiful sunsets are old-fashion
ed and common, nud yet the sight in-
urinbly awakens n. thrill in the. mean
est soul. Tho same palo moon that
shines tonight was a silent witness of
the burning of Troy, tho fall of Baby
lon and the destruction of Pompeii. The
stars liavo mystified tlie minds of men
since men became possessed of minds.
God is old-fashioned, and His inexor
able laws never hiivd and nover will
be violated without tlie penalty being
exalted. Electricity,.-unchained,' flashed
ith the same vivid grandeur through
tlie stormy heavens, tlie wind shrieked
aiyl howled with tho snmo wild fury,
mid the thunder rolled with the same
nppnlling crush on tlie night that Lear,
aged mid infirm, was denied the shelter
of his ow,n poor roof. *
Love—the love of a mother for her
babe, and of man for a maid—is old-
fashioned. That book of books, the
Holy Bible, is old-fashioned.
We would not have them otherwise.
