JUSTICE TO LABOR
Henry Ford has been lauded by
some as a great benefactor to the
laboring men because . he recently
raised their wages, all of which Is
an Illusion. If Mr. Ford can con
tinue to make millions, and he un
doubtedly can, he deserves no great
credit for paying a decent living
wage to those who daily bend their
backs in his sweat-shops to. grind
out more millions for him. If "to
the victor belongs the spoils," then
to labor belongs a part of the pro
fits at least to the extept of a wagel
that will provide him with more
than a bare living.
Secretary of Commerce Redfield
said in a speech at Atlantic City:
"Beware of the temptation to lay
rash hands upon wages. Concentrate
thought, purpose and effort on out
put. Find and seize hold of all that
science has said or can say concern
ing industry. It was largely because
Germany made her industries the
operating end of her science that her
commerce grew so fast and powerful
In the years before the great war.
It was more German science than
German wages that made her compe
tition dangerous. The responsive
power of well paid and contented
labor to far-sighted leadership in in
dustry is the greatest force In pro
duction, and happy are they who
have it behind them."
Reference is meant only to those
great mining and manufacturing In
dustries in the United States, where
it has heretofore been the custom
and rule to pay the men who daily
stripped themselves to the waist and
toiled like mules to pile up fortunes
for their employers, Including such
men as were John D. Rockefeller
and Andrew Carnegie. It was not
Carnegie's money, but the money
produced by his thousands of em
ployes that made it possible to es
tablish so many "Carnegie Hbaries"J
tablish so many "Carnegie libraries"
deserves credit for such work, but
had It not been for that army of toil
ers, many of whom lived In mere
hovels, " he never would have been
albl'e to make his spread-eagle dis
play Df philanthropy.
But again coming back to Henry
Ford: There is no humane reason
why wages ehduld. be rigidly held to
a level that .will make one man

within a 'few short years while the
multitude toil 'for an etistence. i La

nese government and the essential
morality of the Chinese people, Chi-!
na, so long the slave of opium, Is
now free. The crowning act of the
government was the purchase and
destruction, in Shanghai, of 1,200
chests of opium, worth $14,000,000
in- the open market. The poppy
fields are now given over to the pro
duction of food. The thorough-going
way in which the elimination of
tha destructive ODlum traific was
accomplished may be inferred from
the following measures, enforced in
several Chinese provinces:
1. It the opium dealer be a snop
keeper, all the banks and money
shops shall refuse to have anything
to do with him in money matters, so
that he will have to close his shop
for lack of funds and banking facili
ties. (The Chinese have long known
the efficacy of the boycott. Both
the United States and Japan have
felt Its force.)
2. If an employe of a shop deals
in opium the shopkeeper shall dis
miss the man, whose name will be
published In the newspapers, so that
he will not be able to find employ
ment elsewhere.
3. If a wealthy man be discover
ed dealing in opium, his name shall
be given to the elder of his family,
with the request that the guilty per
son be cast out from the family (one
of the greatest of disgraces), and he
shall be opposed by all as an alien
without mercy.
4. Landlords and landladies shall
not rent their houses to opium deal
ers. If they do, they will be dealt
with as If they were the opium deal
ers themselves.

My Dear Brother Wire:
I had the pleasure, this morning.
of meeting ope of your loyal friends
and parlshoners, Cuthbert W. Court

health and strength, though It has
been a fierce conflict. He was sev
erely wounded as you know. In one
of the engagements. His was a
thrilling and heroic experience for
which he has recently been cited
and his name placed on the honor
roll. It seems that he was in the
signal service and was In company
with the cataln and five otbers
when the shell struck the place
where they were temporarily locat
ed, with headquarters. Cuthbert
was at the time at the telephone,
and while the captain and all In
this place were wounded, he was the
most severely hurt, but refusing to
leave his post, he managed to call
up the telephone for the captain, al
though he was wounded In both legs
badly, and in his left shoulder.
When the ambulance came he want
ed the 'captain to be taken first but
the captain insisted that as Cuth
