That labor will come in for its full
and deserved share of the country's
prosperity is indicated by a voice from
the top, when Charles M. Schwab of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, ad
dressed a meeting of 4,000 captains of
business and industry at Atlantic City,
and said:
c believe in the fairness of Amer
ican labor. I believe the only founda
tion apon which anything can perma
nently rest is the economic use of
syetything, whether it be labor, ma
terial, manufacture or what not. Any
foundation or organized labor or cap
ital that ia on a false basis must fall,
lam not opposed to organized labor. I
I believe that labor should organize in
individual plants or amongst them
selves for the better negotiation ot
.labor and the protection of their own
rights, but the organization and con
trol of labor in individual plants and
manufactories, to my mind, ought to
be mad; representative of the people
in those plants who know the condi
tion!,. In the years gone by I serious
ly doubt many times if ' labor has re
ceived its fair share of the prosperity
of this great country. We, as manu
facturers, have got to open our eyes to
a wider vision of the present and 'the
future, with reference to our work
men. We have got to deviBe ways and
means by which capital and labor, that
have BO often been termed synonymous,
shall share equally, not in theory, but
in practice."

The water may be twice the weight of

. The following editorial an extract
of which we reprint, appearing sorne

ia receiving widespread commenda
tion and should be read and digested
by every intelligent man, woman and
child: "Panic is the worst thing that
caa happen to an individual or a com
munity Panic is exaggerated fear,
and fear is the most deadly word in
any language. The fear of influenza
is creating a panic, an unreasonable
panic that will bo promoted, we sus
pect, by the drastic commands of the
authorities. Let a person become ex
cited over the daily reports of new
cases ; let him brood over them ; let him
shake his 'head in dismay and with
every little acho or pain that may be
harmless in itself give himself over to
dismal imaginings, and he is providing
a fertile field for an attack. His mind
fears it, becomes receptive to it, in
vites it."

Held High Rank as Physician.
Dr. rhlllp S. Physlck, often called
"the Father of American Surgery," was
one of the most eminent physicians of
his day, ranked very high as a prac
tical surgeon and was exceedingly
popular as a lecturer. His father, an
Englishman, had charge of the estate
of the Penn family. The son was
born In Philadelphia July 7, 1788, was
educated for the medical professior
partly In that city and partly In Edin
burgh, Scotland, where he was gradit
ated with high honors. On his return
to the United States he began to prac
tice in Philadelphia and soon won pro
fessional honors. In 1831' Doctor Phy
slck won a national reputation by the
successful performance of a surgical
operation on Chief Justice Marshall,
followed by a perfect cure. He died
In Philadelphia December 16, 1837.

Mexican Editor Is of Opinion That
Baseball la More Spectacular
Than Scientific.
Jose Campos is the editor of the Ex
celsior, a dally paper of Mexico City.
When In New York recently the Mexi
can spent nn afternoon at a baseball
game. He thus records his Impressions
in New York Herald.
A large game of baseball was cele
brated this af ternon In the Polo arena
in the city of the Bronx, a large ride
by train from New York city. As is
the custom of, the United States of
North America, many of the business
houses closed for the afternoon, so em
ployees might attend the spectacle. At
least 3,000,000 civilians, soldiers and
ninny women and children were pres
ent
The pitcher for the New York city
troupe was very valiant and charming.
The baseball clothing Is not as pretty
as that worn by the toreador, but the
players carry themselv.es well. The
game Is played with the hands, but Is
not like pelota In any respect. The ob
ject Is to keep the ball off the ground,
and the troupe which does so the long
est wins the game.
In place of a bull baseball has an
umpire, a man who does not play the
game, but who Is authority of the
game. Unlike the judge of the bull
fight, he stands on the field. He is
not goaded with pikes, banderlllas and
finally the sword, as Is the bull, but is
the recipient of abuse from both play
ers and the multitude seated in the I
huge arena. Instead of "another bull,'
the crowds when displeased yell "Get
the hook !" The umpire Is also called
a "robber" and a "big fathead."
The people at a baseball game con
tinually are eating or chewing gum or
smoking. But these occupations of the
mouth do not prevent a perpetual yell
ing. It Is difficult for one knowing lit
tle English to understand the things
cried at the players or the umpire. But
I assume from the manner of expres
sion that words common to the lower
classes are used.
On a large board at the back of the
field is enumerated the number of
times that each troupe drops the ball.
The troupe dropping the ball the few
est times wins the game. Unlike the
bull fight, it is difficult to predict which
will win. In that respect the American
game of baseball is typical of all
things American It Is more spectacu
lar than scientific. I think If I under
stood English perfectly and had played
baseball all my life and had not been
born a Mexican I should like to see a
baseball game every year on my birth
day anniversary.
