Even IT he is captured alive, which 1b doubtful; oven If he Is hanged. which Is probable if ho la caught, his life cannot begin to pay for I those of tho two good men whom Jie killed in cold blood.

Significance of Labor Day Tue most aigmticant teaiure of the industrial uorid today is the pasionate cry for social justice. ijity and cnarity are scorned by the rank and file of men in in dustry in our day. They insUt that equity, not cliariry, is tne only adequate basis for Industrial re lationships. Charily at its best is palliative; It fosters dependence aitd fails to create free und ef ficient men. What the whole artisan class Is discussing today is not justifica tion, but justice. Any religion that would meet the outstanding demand of the modern Industrial world must be based on the. Ideal of social Jus tice; and any gospel that would heul Die hurt of the men of indus try must be saturated witli the spirit of social justice- From the Christian point of view ihe pri mary question in industry today Is this: Shall the symbol of our American industrial life be Ihe dollar mark or the cross? The an swer to tills question will deter mine the character and the quality of modern Industry. Labor day offers us another op portunity lo prove again to our- , selves and to all the world that i thtt American heart is still strong er than the American dollar, that industry In America is a means to an end, and that end the creation! und iiroiiiiL'iLlion of men who are wise enough to rule and good j enough to be trusted the only j adequate foundation for demon- j racy in industry.

The County By R. R. WOOD There may be audi a thing as a goose not Being a "goose, ' and mis is iliusu-ated by what happened on me Douglas stock luucn al bum eriin tins season- Mrs. Valentiiiu jr. has a trio uf geese and a gander that are able to hoid dis cussions and arrive at conclusions and then execute their findings. One day last spring Mrs. Valentine placed a goose egg under a turkey hen lor incubation. In due time the egg hatched and the turk left the nest with the one gosling. Two or three daya later tho trio of geese and the gander came upon the lurk w ith the one lone gosling, and appeared to be much astonisueu. according to the lady who refuted the incident. Tne geese held an impromptu executive session at once. '1 liey were very much excited and out raged to find a blue-blooded dyed-ln-tho "wool" gosling parading around with a turkey fos.er moth er. For five minutes thi:. ..uimated discussion went on. t,. .leads of the geese being close tofjL ,ier as iney loudly Ulacttssed thu ln-ller. Apparently arriving at a decision they promptly went at it to tuku by force the person of the gosling, the four oi them deliberately marched up to the turkey hen, and while one of the geese reached out and literally grubbed that turkey by the "nape of the neck." the others surrounded the alarmed goBling and led it away from thu scene of the conflict. The turk put up a good fight, but the strangle hold of the goose proved too much lor her and she fled as soon as she could break away. Mrs. Valen lime, amazed but greatly amused at the whole transaction, watched i hose geeae make friends with th-j little gosling, who appeared t catch on to what the fuss was nil about, und willingly remained with its new friends and "relatives." For llav or two the turkey hen hunt; around that group of geese, hoping to get back her gosling, but her work failed, and sho final ly abandoned all claim to It.
