Labor's Grent Day. Befure the coming of the civ this era, tn which w to be factors of promine: such term and no s nity of labor.” Perhan il Is no more popular now with the Individual was in former days, but while toil of some hind or other !s prectically compelled in the cases of us ail, there can be no corm- Parison instituted between the conditions of the laborer of iwo hundred years ago and the Inborer of tojay. Time was when manual effort was regarded as degrading. but such a nov conc! could then be exens labor was performed almost exclustvely by slaves or those who had rece slaves. Today the dignity of labcr is recog- nized among self-evident truths, stead of occupying a slavish attitude ; no 1 thing as “the dig- der the rule of despotic force the wor people under a t of, by and for the people are themselves the rulers aad govern tremselves. Instead of the old day- Ught-to-dark program of labor ten ho: day constitute the g¢ many cf the trades in speci calities find it poss: able to limit the number of working-hours to elght. Then there has been steady in- crease in the remuneration of the wage- earner, In spite of the fact that the exer- tion demanded of him has steadily di creased in quantity, and as the pay ha grown and the requirements of dividend- wecking capital become less selfish ther has also been more marvelous improv: ment in lubor’s surroundings—the condi- tions under which wages have been and are being earned. Coincident with this forward movement, and one of Its best and most beneficent results, is the access of educational facilities such as were of necessity denied even the most enthusias- Uc of old-time students. It was those whom Lincoln loved to speak of as ‘'the common people” who instituted and supported the common schools, and rich has been the re- ward. Knowledge is offered without money and without price, and acquired kaowledge is in its turn prolifie of knowledge that produces #nd elevates and gives impetus to the worlds of science and art and Mtera- ture. That any one cause brought all these desirable conditions into existence may not reasonably be claimed, but there is none among enlightened people who will deny that organized labor can safely Insist that it has done more than any one other con- tributor to make things what they are. The struggle has teen unreasonably pro- longed, for it should ere this have been plain to every one that strength was to be found only in oneness of intelligent senti- ment, harm cny of sensible expression and unanimity of wise action. This age has to its credit steady improvement in the lot of the wage-earner; ample opportunity for mental training; better homes and sur- passingly-superior home-life. It is highly appropriate that organized labor should mark the preserce of Labor Day as that presence has been and is being recognized in Washington today. For Labor Day rep- resents in the concrete all that has been done in the wage-earner’s interest during a hundred years past. —__+ ++ Shall We Fiy? If the north pole :emains undiscovered it will not be because of Inactivity on the part of aeronauts. One of the principal features of the geographical congress which was held in London lately was the highly- endorsed proposition of Mr. Andree to reach the center of the polar circle by means of @ balloon; a number of emvnent scientists were apparently convinced that the scheme was feasible. Now comes Prof. Serge De Savine, who alleges his intention of thor- eughly exploring the Arctie Circle with a balloon that will practically*be two bal- loons, his invenfive genius having made It plain to him that the double-headed ar- rangement will permit him to rise and fall as he pleases and so avoid or take ad- vantage of the upp2> currents. We shall Probably, or improdably, have the pleasure of seelig Prof. Savine before he starts northward, for h2 has announced his inten- tion of first voyawing from Paris to New York in his airship. Prof. Savine says his balloon {s almost ready, and he fully ex- pect3 to make his trans-Atlantic trip within the next month or two; a declaration that is deeply interesting because it deals with the present Instead of with the future. Mr, Andree’s promise to start for the pole next summer is completely outranked by Prof. Savine’s announcement that we may ex- pect him within a few weeks. ——__+ es Washington loses a valuable citizen and the newspaper profession a beloved and useful member by the death of Major Richard Sylvester of the Washington Post, whose long and successful career of modest worth has just closed. Major Sylvester did not belong to the ranks of men whose names become famous In the land. His was a light which he persisted in hiding under the bushel of the self-denial which cbaracterizes the labors of many faithful newspaper workers. The men in his own line of life knew him and loved him. His name was a familiar one in Washing- ton to the comparatively few who produce the daily journals, and his example was always wholesome and good. The commu- nity suffers from the passing away of one whose pen was ever keen in behalf of whatever was best in life and of all that ‘was honest in government. ae Secretary MoSton is all right with or- ganized labor now. He could not have had his weather man do a neater stroke of work than he did today. ____ It is about time for some one ta suggest that perhaps Holmes is the author and mysterious transmitter of the new~ Halt will. ————- e+ ____ Muulcipality vs. Contractor. Munietpal reformers are less plentiful in; Washington than they are in other cities; ® condition which is due to the unassailed fact that municipal business is conducted in this city in a refreshingly honest man- ner, although at times there is evidence of inefficiency. But while it fs true that such things as we do municipally are done fairly or exceedingly well, there fs much of ad- vaneement to be made before we even ap- proximate to perfection. Just at this time the District Commissioners are busily en- saged in an endeavor to compel an unwill- ing garbage contractor to do those things which he promised to do. Perhaps the Com- missioners will succeed at last, but if pre- eedent goes for anything, the chances for ultimate victory are with the contractor. At this same time the Commissioners are also engaged in trying to persuade the gas and electric lighting companies that their charges for artificial illumination are ex- orbitant, but, unless Congress intervencs, the companies wiil probably continue to do as they please without regard for’any one else. Oddly enough, there does not appear to be any friction at this time be- tween the Commissioners and the street- sweeping contractor, but there are plenty of people who think there ought to be, be- cause the sweeping is not being done too well. Yet all these and other shortcomings of more or less importance cannot fail to direct attention to the unbusinesslike man- rer in which municipal affairs are attended to by those whose only interest in them is purely and selfishly financial. When a man or a firm enters into a contract to do public or private work, it Is because the contract promises to be profitable. If a con- tractor agrees to collect and dispose of the city’s garbage for one year for the sum of $0,000, he undoubt- edly expects to make several thousand dollars’ pro‘it on the transaction, and he is likely to achieve that object without much regard for the character of the service ren- dered; and this is naturally so with con- tractors generally. Now, if the garbage contractor can attend fairly to his business and at the same time gather in from five to ten thousand dollars, why might not the runicipality collect and dispose of its own garbase and save the wide margin which the contractor applies to his personal uses? In the matter of street illumination, the profits are very much greater than they are likely to be on garbage; a hundred towns have saved in the aggregate an enormous sum of money by taking into their own hands the task of supplying their highways with a sufilciency of gas or electric Hght. As things now are, Washington is by far the mst desirable place of residence on this continent, but it will not reach the fulness of its stature as such until the petty contract waste which is as conspicuous as it is im- preper es to be. o+—_—___—_ Washington's Labor Demonstration. Many other cities may be turning out longer lines of paraders today in honor of the great holiday of the American toilers, Ids to no other city the alm in any competition for good order, for the attractive appearance of the march- ing column, and for the intelligence and patriotism of these who participated in the demonstration. Five thousand better citizens and cleverer workmen could not be gathered together in any part of the Jand. Five thouserd stauncher lovers of the American flag and all it signifies could not be found in any city. The parade and the incidental exercises of the day here In Washington indicate that the labor organi- zations are strong and thriving. Fighting with fair means for what is right, for what is good, and clean, and honest, and patri- etic the District workingmen will never lack for friends, not alone among the em- ployed, but among the employers of tle city, who haye long ago learned that the dearest of all investments is the hiring of workmen simply because they are cheap, and who realize, reasoning simply on self- ish grounds, that short hours produce the best results In the end. The demonstra- tions of approval that greeted the march- ers all along the line show that the citi- zens generally are in hearty sympathy with the trade organizations, and The Star extends its congratulations to Chief Mar- shal McHugh and his assistants upon the fine display. —____+ e+ ____. The article published elsewhere in The Star concerning the legislation secured by jocal organized labor discloses a list of measures, every one of which received the approbation and some the energetic and effective support of The Star during the struggle for their enactment. They are sensible, practical propositions, promoting the material interésts of the workingmen. ‘They are not tainted with anarchy, nor {do they attempt to give expression to any- bedy's vagaries in political economy. ‘They commend themselves as fair, sen- sible and patriotic to the average Amer- ican. The program for future legislation outlined by the local committees is en- tftled to the same commendation, and the prospect is bright for a like measure of success in the campaign to secure enact- ment. —_—__+ + +—___.

You adopted a plat- form at the conventicn, didn’t you?" “Yes—oh, yes. We adopted one. But we've disinherited it.” His Solicitude. “Aren't you a citizen like the rest of us?” asked the agitated man of the trolley mag- nate; “aren’t you interested in the city’s welfare?” “Yes,” was the reply; “I'm interested in its welfare—and its car fare.” A Speedy Remedy. “I've too much work to do,” he said. His advertisement small He straightway from the paper took, He has no work at all. “De kind of @ man dat t'inks he knows it all,” said Uncle Eben, “gin’rally seems justified In de low average he seems ter put on human intelligence.” A Criticism. “Well, we pulled through all right,” said the political henchman. ! “Yes," replied the great statesman, with a sigh, as he looked over the expense ac- counts. “T reckoa {t cost a good deal to do it.” “That's what it did,” was the response. “This victory was an artistic success, but it was a financial failure. Out of His Line. “Look here,” said the Chinese general to one of his officers; “you are showing a very belligerent spirit.” "Yes, I feal that way.” Why didn't you defeat a few Japanese?” “Out of my line, general. Missionaries constitute my specialty.”” Rest. We are now indulging in a little bit of needed rest, ‘The Congressmen are scattered through the east and through the west; It's au revolr, but not good-bye. We know we'll have ‘em all Prepared to do their duty when the snow begins to full. The man who wants to put a bridge across his favorite stream; The man who has a claim which makes his Vfe a golden dream; The man who wants a tip on how the stocks are going to crawl— They'll all be here for duty when the snow begins to fall.
