I won w mm (Continued from Pago 1.) tavor; and If the people perforin thoir civic duties, there will be no plutocracy ruling In the name of the dollar. Here tho road to advance ment Is a public highway, and It Is within our power to keep Jt open to all alike. Here, too, the government is within the control of tho people, and no department of the service is out of the reach of the voter or be yond the Influence of public opinion. Under our constitution, some bran ches of the government are more responsive than others to the public will, but our government can be con trolled by the people, from the or ganic law which we call the constitu tion to the statute and the court's decree. A long step toward the elevation of labor to its proper position in the nation's deliberations is to be found In the establishment of a Department of Labor, with a cabinet officer at Its liead. The wage earners deserve this recognition, and the executive is en titled to the assistance which such an official could render him. I regard the inauguration of this reform as the opening of a new era In which those who toll will have a voice in the deliberations of the President's coun cil chamber. The labor organization has been seriously handicapped by the fact that it has been and I am not sure that it has not been done unwitting ly yoked up with the industrial combinations known as trusts. The proneness of trust defenders to use the labor organizations as an excuse for combinations In restraint of trade has aroused the suspicion that they have been classed together for the purpose of shielding the combin ations of capital. As the result of eighteen years of anti-trust legisla tion, only one man has been given a penal sentence for violating the fed eral law on this subject, and that man was a member of a labor or ganization rather than a trust mag nate. The laboring man is justified in his demand that a distinction shall 1)0 drawn between the labor organ ization and the industrial monopoly. The trust and the labor organiza tion cannot be described in the same language. The trust magnates have used their power to amass swollen fortunes, while no one will say that the labor organization has as yet se cured for its members more than their share of the profits arising from their work. But there are fun damental differences. The trust is a cumuinuuun 01 uoiiura; uiu muur oi-,whch llls services entitle him. ganization is an association of hu man beings. In a trust a few men j b.11nt fiverv nnfi ahoilld ,lae thQ bi. of his Investigations and present to others tho Ideal which he Is trying to realize in his work. His pen must be free that he may scatter seed thoughts to the uttermost parts of the earth and leave to posterity a record of his work. He finds In gov ernment the cheapest, as well aB the surest, protection of this liberty to be to think, to speak, to act. And what constitutes tho pursuit of happiness? Man must have home and friends family and society. -He must have food or he will starve. He must have clothing and shelter; he must have books, he must have In struments with which to work. He must provide during the period of strength for the years when ago dulls his energies and benumbs his hands. He may have ambition, he may have willingness to work and an environ ment that spurs him on; but the gov ernment may encourage or It may discourage his efforts. Government may bid him hope or leave him to despair. When I visited the valley of Jor dan I learned that it is fertile and productive, and yet, Instead of being cultivated like the valley of tho Nile, vast stretches of territory lie untitl ed. Why? I was told that under the reign of the Sultan the toiler is not protected .in the enjoyment of the fruits of his toil. If the farmer plants and tends his crop, the rov ing Bedouins will sweep down from the hills at harvest time and carry away the fruits, of his industry. If the government does not assure to the individual the enjoyment Of the result of his effort, there is no stimulus to industry. We have the best government on earth. It gives the largest liberty, the greatest hope and the most en couragement to the citizens, and yet, even In this country, it is always ne cessary to be on the watch to keep the instrumentalities of government from being turned to private gain. One of the great problems df to day is to secure an equitable dis tribution of the proceeds of to!'. The material wealth of this country is largely a joint product; in factoites few people work alone, and on ihe farm a certain amount of coopoia tion Is necessary. Where men work together, the army organization ap plies to some degree; that is, some direct, others are directed. The dif ficulty has been to divide tho results fairly between the captains of Indus try and the privates in the ranks As the dividing is done largely by the captains, it is not unnatural that they should magnify their part and ap propriate too large a share; neither is it unnatural that there should be complaint on the part of the toilers who think that their recompense is insufficient. The labor question, therefore, as It presents itself at this time, is chiefly a question of distribution, and the legislation asked for is legislation which will secure to each that to As legislation is secured through the ALUAiyCE IN FROM PORTLAND attempt to control the product of others; in a labor organization, the members unite for tho protection of that which is their own, namely, thejr own labor, which, being neces sary to their existence, is a part of them. The trust deals with dead matter; tho labor organization deals with life and with Intellectual and moral forces. No impartial student of the subject will deny the right of tho laboring man to exemption from tho operation of tho existing anti trust law. If tho labor organization needs to be regulated by law, let it bo regulat ed by a law which deals with man ns man, and not by a law that was aim ed to prevent tho cornet ing of a commodity or tho forestalling of tho market. I shall not speak of tho eight-hour day, or of tho employer's liability act, because both of tho leading par ties have ondorsed these reforms; the only question to bo considered Is: which party can best bo trusted to secure these reforms? I need hard ly assuro you that I am heartily in favor of both reforms. According to the Declaration of In dependence, governments nro insti tuted among mon to secijro to thorn tho enjoyment of their liiallenablo rights. Among theso inalionnblo rights, there aro specifically enumer ated life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness. Tho second and third, howover, nro really parts of tho first, for life means nothing to tho Indivi dual If it Is confined to meio nnlimtl existence, Man is distinguished from tho brute In that tho latter merely eats nnd sleeps and dies, whllo man is ondowed by tho Creator -with infinite possibilities. Liberty is necessary for tho realization of man's possibilities. His conscionco must bo loft free thnt ho may Ax for hlnisolf thofelatlon botweon himself and ltla ( God. His mind must bo loft freo that ho may devise and plan for hlm Rojf, for his family and for his fol lows. His sjti'rch must bo free tl'tt ho tuny give to the world tho voaulta lot to obtain the legislation neces sary. The democratic platform pre sents tho ideal toward which the Democratic party is striving, namely, justice in tho distribution of rewards. The Democtatlc party proclaims that each individual should receive from society a reward for his toll common sutate with his contribution to the welfare of society, and unless some other party can do the work better, tho Democratic party ought to have the suppott of all, whether they be long to the wage-earning class or oc cupy positions In which they direct the efforts of others. If an officer in the Industrial army were sure that his child ron and his children's chil dren would Inherit his position, he might feel possibly Indifferent as to those under his command, but the children of those who, today, work for wages may employ the children of those who, in this genet atiott, are employers. This uncertainty as to fututo generations, as vcll as our sense of jtibtlce, should lead us to make the government as nearly per fect as possible, for a good govern ment Is tho best legn6y that a parent can loavo to his child. Riches may take tho wings of tho morning and lly away, but government is perma nent, and wo cannot servo posterity better than by conttlbuting to tho perfection of tho government, that each child born Into tho world may feol that it tins here an opportunity I for tho most complete development, and a chnnco to secure, through sor vlce, tho largest possible happiness and honor. steamship arrived early to day with large number and Will sail in morning. The Alliance arrived in early this morning from Portland after one of the most pleasant trips of tho season. The sea was calm and no wind to toss the boat on the way down to give the travelers a touch of seasick ness. Owing to the tide, tho Alliance will sail about 9 o'clock in the morn ing for Portland.
