What is in store for the United States no one dares prognosticate. Therc are those who believe that if the European war con- tinues in progress for one or two vears more the United States, pro- viding it does not get entangled in the embroglio, will'lead all the nations of the earth in its trade activities. The one great hope then for all those in- terested in the financial and industrial success of America is that ‘mnothing will happen to mar the great work of the past twelve or thirteen months, and that no rupture will occur with any of the nations now at each other’s throats. This is the time, if there ever was such an occasion, when the péople of America must maintain steady heads. enormous amount is SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE- There must have been a great deal of satisfaction among the laboring men of the West, and even of the East, when they learned of how John L. Rockefeller. jr., wielded a pick in one of his coal mines in Trinidad. Cclorado, the other day and, after the fatigue garnered by his strenuous en- deavors ate a hearty meal with the men in their boarding house and later slept in the coal camp- If nothing else, it was a democratic act anil Rockefeller himself will derive as much benefit from ‘the experience as any one else. 1t will show him what the men have ‘o contend with. It will teach him a lesson he wouid never have learned from reports made by his superintendents. To show that there was great satisfaction on all sides one of the men, when Rocke- feller was trying to dislodge a great pile of brack coal, said, “You're not so bad as you're painted.” In turn, the oil king gave a little talk to the men with whom he work- ed, and therein he dispensed some very wise philosophy, wisdom whicn should be taken to heart by many big employers of labor. Rockefeller said:(—'Men, we are partners in this business: I cannot get along without you, and you cannot get along with out me. If I had all the money in the world I could not run these Col- orado mines without you workmen, and you, with all your brawn and muscle, could not earn a living dit ging cdal out of the ground U4 there was capital to buy these mu'es and lay the tracks and provide a mar- ket for the coni. We are partners, that's what we are, ‘and I want (o do business with you on that princi- ple” Therein Mr. Rockefeller was right. And the miners know he was right. If all employers and employees would understand this one principle, thai they cannot get along without each other what a ditfferent place this old world would be: There would be no strife or contention, there would be more harmony, more of a get-to- gether spirit. When Capital and Labor understaud this fundamental principal of life, that we are brothers all rich and. pocr, good and bad, rrince and pauper, the milliniumn might have arcived, true; but it not an improbability. The day fast coming around when men wiil know and understand each other bet- ter, when they will not be at eack others throats tor the least grievance, when they will be able to meet on the same plane and thrash out their differences in a logical manner- . Mr. go out to his Colorado mines more often. He should take up the pick and dig a little coal every now and then. He should even mount a coal ‘car and drive the mule through those dark subterranian passageways. He should eat, ‘sleep, and drink in the same quarters with the men. In this way he would open up a road that has been blocked and barricaded for lo these many years, and the communi- cation between laborers and capitalist would be on @ much more satisfactory basis- it would be for a miner to go up to his supreme master, who wirh pick in hand, is digging away at a coal pillar and say, “John, I nzed a raise in salary,” and then John could stop digging coal for a while and say, “Well, I am sorry Mike, but you had a raise last week,” or if he thought better he could advance the raise, and the whole works would move along with a better will. It is to be hoped that other employers will see the wisdom of Mr. Rockefeller’'s innovation aund go then and do likewise. is is How convenient Goedbye, General Humidity, we'll see you another year, but we hope nev- er again this year.—Rockville Leader. e COOD ARRAY OF NEW BOOKS NAMED IN INSTITUTE’S LIST THIS WEEK Christian psychology, by James Stalk- er. “Lecturers delivered at Richmond and Auburn Seminaries in the United States, by a professor of Church His- tory in the United Free Church Col- lege, Aberdeen.

McMILLAN 199-201-203 MAIN STREET WHAT OTHERS SAY Views o.. all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office. Are We Included. (Stamford Advocate.) A ‘‘neutral observer’” in Germany, who has written many interesting things to the outside press without at- tempting to debate the issues in con- flict—which would socn get his pen a holiday if he tried it—reports a wide-spread and still growing belief in that country that the United States as well as England and France will be in for the payment of a big in- demnity when the war is over and the victory won. In that case, the Army and Navy Journal observes, this cauntry would be face to face with a demand in comparison with which the Alabama claims would look thirty cents. “With true German thoroughness,” says the Journal, “ex- perts in international law are spend- ing days and nights in Berlin, prepar- ing bills against all and sundry na- tions. Germany has classified her enemies as follows: The Russians as muddlers; the French as a frivolous nation which appears in the war in the same spirit as in 1870; the Ital- fans as being of little military ac- count; the English idle and sport lov- ing. German opinion is that English love of wealth, ease and luxury and lack of discipline will enable Ger- many to squeeze out of Great Britain the fattest indemnity the world has ever known. With the British in- demnity secured, the next on the list are the Americans—the ‘dollar folk." ‘War as a means of making money, has appealed to the Prussian mind ever since the well-filled Castle of Spandau received the French milliards after 1870.” The principal item charged in the account against America is, of caurse, the penalty for supplying au- tomobiles, projectiles and other muni- tions to the Allies.

Dr. Charles A- Eaton so admir- ably stated in his sermon of Sunday We must let all the that American thing, and its rights cannot be vio- lated by any one anywhere without a reckoning. But today it inust be regretfully ad- mitted that it is necessary to say such things, and even to defend them. to restate the @nxious.
