A LABOR DAY SPEECH1 NOT DELIVERED. I T IS iiufurtiiiinti! tliiit most of the Inljor ilny speoelii-s are mnilc by politicians. They sny tilings to nnike tlirir le iii ci-.s applaud when they .should say tilings to make their hearers think. Fur if there is to he relief from the present difficulties in which labor and capital find themselves, then: must be some serious thinking -on all sides, a general placing of all the cards on the table, and a general determi nation to reach a satisfactory and .mutually beneficial working basis. Xo labor day address was made 1iy Samuel W. Vaueliiin, presi dent of t lie lialdwin Locomotive works. For Jfr. Vauelaiii is not a pol itician, but a laboring man, a laboring man with a big salary, and handling a big executive job, but a laboring man nevertheless. Air. Vauclain came through Oregon recently on a 10,(K)0-mile trip around tho country, and how he has, in a recent Collier's, delivered some opinions on the conditions of the country as ho found them. This article might well be the text for labor day speeches, but unfor tunately it won't be, for it is full of plain facts and unvarnished truths, and is not calculated to make either faction in our labor con troversy cheer, Samuel Gompers or Judge Gary, Hut it is excellent labor day doctrine nevertheless from a man who worked with a shovel in his youth, and who works twelve hours a liny now with his head. And he gives encouragement to all workers, whether manual or mental, and for them both he sees prosperity not ahead, but already here. Here are a few points lie makes: Tho laborer who makes his living by making trouble must go, for th0 working man 1h tired of paying dues to keep bliu on 'tils Job. . The foHHlls aro tho employers who want to pay low wages und the labor unions who wnnt to see men do low amounts of work. Wages have to go up. Knnie that aro too hlKh must bP read justed until better organization and machinery are evolved, but the whole level of wages must rise. Kvcn the most shorlsinlitod and selfish of employers cannot help seeing that if 50 per cent wero taken off tho buying power of the nation's working people, halt the Industry of tho country would have to shut its doors. The bet ter Hie working man lives, tho better business. There will bo no doubt about how tho worklngman will live if the boss Is on Ills Job. If the boss learns how to mako motions that look llko work, tho worker will go him one better by making fewer motions. If a inan feels that ho ought to have more recreation than the Job permits, he ought to find another Job. Whenever I feel tho need of retention I Just change my work go out and bring In some orders for locomotives, or something of tho sort. Any tlmo I do not bring homo tho bacon, I havo to offer tho boys some explanation. They all do their work as it should be done, and I nm expected to do mine. After all. that Is what wo all need moat just plain, ordinary hard work. And tho man who is not willing to deliver tho work ought to step down and out. I am looking forward to throo famines before tho year Is out: 1. Iabor there will bo too much work for tho number of mon available. 3. Cars there will bo too much coal and grain for th0 present supply of cars to handle. 3. Locomotives there will bo moro cars to pull than engines to pull them. I And this menns general prosperity.

RippIingRhutaQS 6 Welt THE COIN A NOXIOUS fever's in my veins, and I am always taking pains to nail another plunk; at dawu I leave the fragrant liny and chase the roubles all the day, until I seek my bunk. I . am so weary that I groan, and yet I sigh, "Another bone I must collect this day;" so I go weaving through the town to find a dime and put it; down where it can't get away. All, once, when shades of evening fell I'd read the works of Harold Hell, and they would comfort mo; anil Laura Libbey's stately tomes, and Sap ( pho Johnson's noble, pomes would fill the hours with glee. Art stirred me with a ringing call; my "Yard of Roses" on the wall I found a thing of charm; 'but since this fever grew so strong the higher things, like art ami song, seem but a false alarm. My rows of books are thick with dust, my lute and timbrel, red with j rust, are hanging from a nail; old pleasures now are out of style, and naught on earth seems worth my while except the useful kale. Another kopeck placed in brine, another pieee-of-eight is mine, another gleaming yen"! Hut all the friends I used to know aban-. doued me long- long ago, I 'm shunned by genial men. I've passed up all the simpler joys for running down the silver boys, the dol lars of our duds; anil when the day is left behind tho only pleas tiro I can find is counting up the scads.

With Medford trade Is Medford made. medeord, pREnoy, Methodist Church Advocate Takes Strong Stand Against Ku Klux Spirit The hatred und prejudice spawned by wur have so capped our moral vi tality as apparently to destroy the spirit of Rood-will which It was so fervently hoped would follow tho ad vent of peace. After the great con flict wus over the soldiers wero re turning home, says the Western Christian Advocate (.Methodist), that thus confesses its alarm at the situ ation, the "blasting plagues of a rep robate mind," were released unions us, and the aftermath of war is as much to be regretted as the days of carnage themselves. Even good men. we aro told, are victims of this spirit of tho age, and. Instead of peace for which tho world had hoped, we have race prejudice, relitdous intolerance, group arrayed against group, and a spirit of Americanism which is the very antithesis of that which animat ed the founders of the nation. Hardly had tho war ended, wc aro told, than tile evil of race prejudice began to rear its head, driving a cleavage through tho social and even the po litical llfe of the nation. Anti-ffemi-tism demanded a hearing, and, ex claims tile Advocate. "It drove home with a prejudice against the Jew that was frightful, violent, without reason and with a blindness that, defied the spirit of Jesus Christ and suspended tho ap plication of all his touching. It camc with a narrowness: it blundered for ward with a blindness: it acted with the violence of ignorance and sought to encourage the spirit that rules in the depths where despair and dark ness dwell. Hatred and suspicion of the Jew hav0 been a bugaboo of the twilight after all wars for almost 2000 years. It came upon us during the last three years as a thief In the night. It Bought to work a cleavage from tho highest economic realms of the nation to tho lowest and most humble unit of tho community circle. Hut when Christians, hate the imps of hell rejoice and rise to claim a place in tho littlo world drama of tragedy and comedy upon -which all tho company of the damned are wit nesses. "With this hatred of tho Jew has como a dislike nnd distrust of the Negro. Violence has broken out against him In different parts of the country that has staggered tho con science of tho best citizenship. In deed, mob aggression has nullified tho Constitution nnd desecrated the most sacred principles of our liber ties.

That ugly, diabolic thing, 'race prejudice,' would scourge the Spirit of Jesus Christ, and when aroused would spit In his face if he should presume to protest against its actions. It would again press down upon his brow tho crown of thorns. It would again cru cify him amidst fire and flame on a wicked cross: for there is no restraint to human wickedness when it is com manded by race prejudice. "In the face of theso statements, do not forget that hatred and preju dice have also shown their presence and activity against the Unman Cath olic church. Tlicro has been sent forth for public consumption propa ganda against tills historic commu nion of such violent character as to stir into action ge-long ill-feeling and of such ugliness ns to blot out the face of God in tho life of any man who makes place for it. The deadly opiate for the Christian conscience is hatred. Ono should fear it as fire and deadly explosives." Adding fuel to the fires 'of hatred and encouraging race animosity is a fraternal organization which "ap peals to those fundamental human prejudices that can never , be re teased or encouraged without great loss to the Christian spirit. It an nounces that it is against the Itoman Catholic Church, against the ...lews, against tho Negro, against the alien, and stands out nnd out for simon pure Americanism." Yet, we are told, the organization is thriving and com manding unwittingly tho support of some of tho most level-headed clti zens. This appeal to prejudice has a deadly aim, and . tho Advocate warns us: "Watch the man or the organiza tion who appeals to. your prejudices. Thoy will bring a poison into your soul that will rob you of your friends and take away your peace of mind. Thoy will In the end, becloud the face of Jesus Christ and turn your path into spiritual darkness. No man can afford to sympathize with or encourage in the least any man or group of men who appeal to hatred and prejudice. The ministry must be free and quick to see tho .peril. Keep themselves aloof, and in the name of Jesus Christ save the mem bers of their flocks from the evil thut wulketh at noonday.
