shockingly Russian and overwhelmingly Irish

We long ago decided not to be ruled by a person in England, or a man in Italy. The Anglo-Saxon is a transplanted Teuton, with a dash of the hardy Norse in his fiber that makes slavery for him out of the question. In every land upon which he has placed his foot, he has found either a throne or a grave

When those Norsemen with their yellow hair flying in the breeze sailed up the Seine, the people on the shore called to them in amazement and asked, "Where are you from and who are your masters? And the defiant answer rang out over the waters, "We are from the round world and we call no man master! To these men we trace a pedigree. And think you we are to trade the freedom for which we have fought, for the rule of a Business Agent graduated from a cigar-factory?

Excuse this smile I really can't help it. ¶ When that punk party known as George the Three Times disregarded the warning of

"Your

one Edmund Burke, who said, Majesty, you must not forget that these Colonists are Englishmen our own people, and they can not be coerced," he invited his fate

The English and hired Hessians fought Washington five to one, but Washington was an Anglo-Saxon, a transplanted Teutonic NorseAmerican, and in his bright lexicon no such word as "fail" could be found.

All attempts to build up class hatred in this country must fail. We stand for co-operation, reciprocity, mutuality. "Once a laborer always a laborer," is not our shibboleth. I never ask a man I hire whether he belongs to a Union any more than I would ask if he belongs to a Church. That is his business. I most certainly would not ask him to renounce his Union unless the Union were trying to throttle him. Even then it is his affair

But certainly we will not be dictated to by men with less intelligence, energy, initiative and ambition than we ourselves possess. Our Labor-Union friends are lifting a fine

cry about the injustice of injunctions. But what is their whole intent but to place an injunction of fear and coercion upon the employer, so that he dare not turn a wheel without permission!

There are inequalities in this country that must be worked out; there are injustices that must be righted; but the boycott, the club, the fagot, the bomb and the secret conclave-the air-brakes on prosperity's wheels can never right them. We must bring patience, good nature and reason to bear. To solve the problems we must discuss, agitate, write, talk and educate and again educate. Some day, then, the fog will lift, and the sun will shine out. In fact, it is beginning to shine out now.

To belong to a Union is all right, but to say that the man who does not belong to a Union shall not be allowed to labor is all wrong

Then to go further and say that the man who employs a man who does not belong to a Union shall be starved out of business is absurd-and worse.

The Closed Shop stands for tyranny and oppression

It blocks human evolution, destroys initiative and fosters hate. Unionism stands for disunion. It perpetuates distrust, and makes division permanent. It places an injunction on progress, and chains the laborer to his bench

It organizes enmity, and makes a system of suspicion.

Unionism does not strive to get the work done-its intent is to make it last.

And it never means better work, because better work demands greater devotion, more patience, a finer loyalty. The Union keeps in your shop workmen you otherwise would not have, unless they mended their ways and manners. It makes the slipshod perpetual, and the shiftless everlasting, by placing a premium on distrust and separating the employer from the employed. They never get acquainted.

Advertising

DVERTISING is fast becoming an art, a science and a business. Art is the beautiful way of doing things; Science is the effective way and Business is the economic way.

We used to regard advertising as an economic waste. Now we regard it as an economic necessity.

There once was an assumption that men who advertised were fraudulent in their intents, hence arose the idea that advertising was unethical, and this fallacy still obtains in a certain few societies and professions. Individuals, however, are always wiser than institutions. Institutions lag behind. They form a ballast, a sort of tail to the kite. Commonsense people all recognize now the value of letting the public know who you are, where you are, what you are, and what you have to offer the world in the way commodity or service.
