DR. ELIOT IN ERROR.
A few month* ago the country was
informed by certain diwUngui*hed fi
nancier* that a panic la, after all, only
a atate of mind and can he checked or
accelerated a* the public mind become*
calm or inflamed
Dr. Charles W. Eliot. of Harvard,
w iahea to apply tin* theory to happi
ness Writing in res|K>n»e to a Now
England man who wanted to know
why the former president of llaryard
continued to oppose labor unions, Dr.
Eliot aaya:
“I cannot agree with you that the
trade* union* have brought happiness
to any workingmen Higher wages,
ahortened hours, better clothes and
more meat do not necessarily contrib
ute to genuine happiness any more
th:;n the luxuries of the rich do. Hap
piness and content are state* of mind."
Thla is not impressive. A man In
a contented state of mind can find
happiness without an automobile or a
trip to Europe, although he might en
joy and profit by both. Hut a laboring
iran cannot he happy If he works IS
hours a day, or If hia wages are inauff
ficlent to buy nourishing food for him
self and hi* family.
4j i. Eliot’* mind is consumed with
hla theory that tha problem of capita)
and labor can !»*• aol\ed by profit-shar
ing. but when he contends that tha la-
I .or unions should disband, he don* not
seem to see that hn proposea to leave
with lha employers the |Hiwer to de
termine not only how* the profits shall
Imdlvlded, If at all, but many other
\esatlou* cjueat lons, which, gem rally
speaking, are solved satisfactorily
through collective bargaining
The broad statement that labor un
ions have not brought happiness to
any working tmn, e\cn though It Is
apparently conceded that they have
brought to many shorter working
hours, higher wages, better clothes
and food, resembles more the words
of a thoughtless plutocrat llihii Hie ac
compllsbed scholar who for so long
presided over the dnstinlea of Harvard.
Dr. Eliot's heart Is in the right place,
hut we fear that he does not under
stand the working men of the country*
and we arc certain that he does not
understand trades unions either their
merits or defects. '

That she will be a model of all the

Cheap hats are all
right in their place,
but their place is
not on the head of
the man who wants
to appear well.
Such a man will not

merely remark that this spectacle
was not as hard on Mr. Becker as on
the young men who had no chance
for a new trial.
