"DENY IT: NOW PROVE IT.”
The Dublin Courl«r-ll<*rnl<l remark!
that "It lun't Joe Itrown llie pnlltliiiuix
are afraid of. It'a the powerful cor
porations back of him.” and the Haw
klnavllle Dlspati'h brain to argue It
out. If gbc Dublin Courier-Herald
should be called on to prove Its aaaer
ftlon we doubt If It Is in position to do
so. and if this la true It la an Injustice
to the ex-governor to bring such a
charge against him, rays the Despatch.
Oh. well, the man who undertook to
prove that Napoleon 'tonnparte ever
lived in said to have met with serious
difficulties, but we don't know that
th-re was any Injustice In his "un
proven” assertion.
Personally, we don't believe that (be

don't think they want their represen

HOW LABOR HAS BEEN TAUGHT.
We find Mr. J 1,. of Wa
bash college Indiana, writing to the
New York Times and taking very
much the same view the Herald dikes
of Hr Rockefeller's championship of
the laboring man's "Rights."
Mr says that Mr Rocke
feller's fair words on the rights of
men with regard to their Joining vol
untary associations for their, own In
terests seems u little wide of the fact
to him, since at the Rockefeller mines
In Idaho a card must he signed by all
applicants mi which thev must state
w hether they belong to a union or not
If they do belong to a union they are
not employed.
"What chance." Mr 1-eonard aska.
"has a workman, dependent on his
wage alone in bargaining for a wago
and working conditions against a com
pany having abundant financial lack
ing? A lone workman must simply
take the crumbs thrown from the rich
man's table Rockefeller wants to play
the game with loaded dice at all
stages Men of wealth organise com
panies to exploit the natural resources
of the country and the labor resources
as well. It is not a fair game unlesa
the workers In and Industry are so or
ganised that they ran present a solid
front against an array of wealth, and
then ask for a lair division of the in

The 1 Leonard letter goes on to point
out to Mr. that labor has
learned the force of combination and
unionism from capital and not only
thta. but labor has had the example
of the sucres* of not giving free con
ditions of business, from the oil and
steel Industries
In the history of these great Indus
trie* which tells of the methods used
by Industrial combinations In these
branches to orush competitors—meth
ods that surely did not give free con
ditions of business or show fair play,
the labor unions have been ably

Industries had the right to put com
petitors out of tmalnrsa by fair mean*

to feel that they can put out their
EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT
MONEY AND DISEASE
(From the Argonaut.)
Henry Cabot Lodge tellw uh In hi«
volume of remlnlscrenreH that man
ners have changed a good deal since
he was young. He was taught and
vigorously taught that he must never
refer to physical ailments in general
company and that It was the height
of vulgarity to speak of money or of
the cost of anything. But ail that
has now been changed. Money talk
is as common around the social board
as it is In congress, and as for physi
cal ailments there is simply no line
drawn anywhere.
Well, what else shall we talk about?
Conversation Is necessarily confined to
tiie topics that interest us, to the
things that wo understand, and in this
particular year of grace, of progress
ivism and of reform we are Interested
in nothing and wo understand nothing
but money and disease.
as
competitors, the non-unionists, by the
same methods?
It is simply a case of the rule work
ing both ways, but when it runs con
trary to the interests of those starting
the game, they want to change the
rules and appeal to the umpire, Uncle
Sam in this case, to forfeit the game
in their favor.
What we need to remember about,
these labor and capital disputes is that
Justice never comes out. of partisan
ship
Until we free our minds of the dis
position to take the “side" of capital
or of labor, we shall arrive at no con
clusions, worth reaching. There are
wrongs on both sides and blindness to
the right of labor or to the right of
capital will only create new troubles.
When labor, capital and the general
public decide that all they want Is
fair play, vM shall see our way
through some of the confusions and
will get this big problem adjusted, but
we don’t believe those who want fair
play, and fair play only, are the strong
voices in the present muddle of social
conditions.
The Life of the Farmer
(From the Country Gentleman.)
I think that the life of a hunband
man of all others \y the moat delect
able. It 1m honorable, it Ik arousing,
and, with Judicious management, it is
profit a ble.
In Indulging them* feeling*, T am led
to reflect how much more delightful
to the undebfliiched mind Ih the task
of making improvements on the earth
than all the vainglory that run be ac
quired from ravaging it by the most
uninterrupted career of conquest,
I know of no pursuit in which more
real lnd Important service can be
rendered to any country than by Im
proving its agriculture, It* breeds of
useful animals, and other branches of
a husbandman's rare.
Turn About Fair Play
(From London Answers.)
As Sitndy holed out on the first
green, his friend from over the Border ;
asked:
"An.l how many strokes did yujl
take "'
"Might,“ replied tlio Scot.
"Ah." said the Englishman, "I took
seven; so that’s my hole."
The Scotsman ventured no reply;
hut when on thi: second green the
Englishman repeated hi* former ques
tion, and made Inquiry aa to the mini
her of strokes taken by his opponent,
the latter nodded Ids head, and, with
an expression or infinite wisdom on
his face, gently murmured:
“Nay, nay, my mannle; this time
it'a my tur-rn to ask first."
HOME FINANCE.
"Our neighbor la rutlier difficult."
"How so?"
"Ehe borows eggs and wants to pay
hack In lessons on the piano." I
Charles Eliot Norton tells us that
toward the end of his life it became
impossible to collect half a dozen or
so persons who could pass a few hours
in intelligent conversation, and this
was in Boston. It would be much
more impossible now; if there can be j
such a thing as degrees of irnpossi- l
biiity. 4 ;
Disease as a topic of conversation
is due first of all to an increase in
individual selfishness, which in its
turn leads to a coarsening of rrientai
fiber. The conventional question of
"How do you do?" is no longer accept
ed as a greeting of courtesy. It is
regarded as a serious pathological in
quiry, and the woman to whom it is
addressed considers it necessary to
enter into minute and delicate revela
tions that would bring qualms to the
stomach of a crocodile and a blush to
the checks of a. satyr.
The Success of Cresinus,
a Small Roman Farmer
(P!lny.>
Cfurlus Cresnius, a freedman
who had much larger crops upon
a small field than his neighbors
hail upon their extensive farms,
won greatly envied, and accused of
withdrawing the produce of the
people's fields by witchcraft.
Being brought to trial, and fear
ing that he would he condemned,
Immediately before the question
was put he produced In the forum
all his lalx.rlng utensils, and
brought along with him a stout
daughter, well fed and elotheri, his
Iron tools nf the most excellent
construction, large spades, heavy
shares/and oxen in the best order.
Then he said, "These, Homans,
are my charms; nor can I show
you, or bring Into the forum, my
night meditations, my matchings
and rrty tolls,” He was unanimous
ly acquitted.
SINCE BABY CAME
Since Baby came In last mid-May
I have not seen a single play.
Tho newer books remain unread—
A little life I've conned Instead,
So full of heavenly lines, and sweet
From silken head to mse-plnk feet.
Hlriee Baby fame, with needs so great,
M.v hats and frocks are out of date;
Her carriage, cot and garments small
Have swallowed up our little all;
But other things I gladly miss
My baby's blossom face to kiss.
Since Baby came a look of home
Upon yur tiny house has come:
Her toys are scattered here and there.
Her little touch is everywhere;
And l.ove is dearer, holier flame,
And brighter burns since Baby came.
—Txmdon Chronicle.
The Little Girl Next Door
Near tny window nil day silting.
Sometimes weary and heart sore,
I can watch the Joyous flitting
Of the little girl next door.
Like a little winsome fairy,
■ bich as lived in days of yore,
Full of gleeful glares airy
Is the little girl next door.
I’retty little witch entrancing,
Made for mortals to adore—
Running. Jumping, skipping, dancing.
Ones the little girl next door.
Hhe, the Idol of (he others,
Worshipping her shrine before—
Father, mother, sisters, brothers
Claim my little girl next door.
And she makes my day seem brighter;
Fkics arc bluer Ilian before;
And she makes my heart grow lighter—
Does the little girl next door.
And I pray, when ehlldhodd’s pleas
ures.
Childish Joys are past and o’er.
I.lfe will shower richest treasures
t>n the little girl next door.
—Winifred H. tiWnn.
