The line of blue, once 2,000,000 strong, Is disappearing with the pass- Ing years, and the present Memorial day finds'it but a scant remnant of the once magnificent army. The veter- an’s step Is no longer elastic nor his eye so bright, but his never-failing pa- triotism lives again in another genera- tion, which has learned the lesson of Memorial day in its deeper sig- nificance. The veteran who survives has seen the culmination of the struggles and privations of those strenuous years of civil warfare, When Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox the political re- union of the country was accomplished, but the bitterness of the strife was too close to make the union more than form. Time has healed the wounds and hidden the scars of four years of flerce and sanguinary strife between brothers ang the hopes and aspirations of the man in blue have found full fruition in a country united in spirit, sympathy and brotherhood, with com- mon aims and common hopes. Memorial day’s tribute to the soldier dead and praise for the living does credit to thelr descendants, but it is a poor homage to the veteran which loses sight of the real object of the ob- servance, the inculcation of the lesson of a patriotism which is willing to sac- rifice as they did. We can honor them best by perpetuating the union, teach- ing the supremacy of law, aiding in the uplift of humanity and making and keeping this country, in fact, the land of the free, where the rights and liber- ties of all are respected and preserved. Such a country will never lack for de- fenders no matter what the foe. Morals in Business. During the current year the senior class of Sheflield Scientific school at Yale has listened to a series of six lec- tures on “Morals in Modern Business,” delivered by practical business men of large experience, and now printed in book form. These lectures deal with various aspects of the subject, the progress that has been made in apply- ing ethical principles to business, the treatment of employes and of custo- mers, the uses and abuses of competi- tion, the necessity of credit and confl- dence, public service business and the relation of corporations and trusts to business. The fact that such a course should be established and supported in an institution devoted to liberal ed- ucation is in itself evidence of salutary interest in the subject, and the view taken by the speakers is, on the whole, one of hopeful progress toward higher standards. More and more in theory and more slowly in practice it {s becoming recog- nized that moral principle applies as fully to conduct in business as in other relations among men and is as neces- sary to soundness and permanency; and this implles due regard to the rights and interests of individuals, communities and classes. The senti- ment has found voice in the laws reg- ulating the railroads, the anti-trust laws, the pure food regulations and varfous statutes to hold in check those whose lack of moral principle leads them to use power to impose unjust burdens upon their fellow men. Labor unions and trade organizations are a forceful protest, in their inception at least, against the unfalr dealing which ignores the moral standards. The growing tendency to frown upon men who conduct business by unfair means is a corrective movement, and that it has drawn to itself many of the strong and intelligent, as well as the weak and ignorant, is an omen of real striv- ing for a higher plane. States’ Rights Again. While Mr. Bryan seems to have sub- slded with his proposal to make the federal government refuse to collect in- internal revenue taxes on the sale of liquor in territory which is voted dry, Edgar Howard comes back to defend it with a composite of contradictions and confusfons that make the case worse instead of better. Admitting that the point is well taken that the federal government does not and cannot “license” the gelling of liquor any- where except in the District of Colum- bia and territories directly subject to congress, Judge Howard sidesteps by saying, ‘“No one claims that the na- tional government issues licenses to sell liguor.” Just read over again Mr, letter to the Florida legisla- in which he distinctly and delib- erately speaks about the government discontinuing “the issue of licenses for the sale of liquor.” Making this vital concession, how- ever, Judge Howard goes on to declare that “we oppose the issue of liquor permits in dry territory by the national government on the same ground that we oppose the issue of injunctions against state laws by federal courts.” It will take a Phila- delphia lawyer to find any re- semblance here. Wherever the fed- eral courts issue injunctions against state laws they prohibit the state offi- |cials from enforcing the state laws, while in the case of the collection of internal revenue taxes on liguor selling the federal government not only leaves the state and local officials free to en- force their laws and regulations, but makes a record which they can use for that purpose if they want to, Judge Howard says that “‘all we are asking is that the national government keep hands off and let the people of a state, town or co.nty manage their own affairs.” If the federal govern- ment should refuse to collect taxes on liquor selling In dry territory and to punish infraction of the revenue laws by those who sell in defiance it would be doing exactly what Edgar Howard is protesting against—in a word, the federal government would be enforcing the local laws and supplanting the state and local authorities in the exer- cise of the police power, It the federal government should undertake in this manner to make state and local laws effective there would be no good reason for drawing the line at laws prohibiting the sale of liquor. As we have already said, the federal government could with equal propriety enforce local laws against the sale of clgarettes, cocaine, firearms or any other objectionable transaction, and even follow it up by enforcing the election laws in the southern states, fwhere the rights of American citizen- ship are constantly denied. When the federal government does all these things the old democratic {idea of states' rights will have become merely a tradition and a remembrance, Speeding Up. This has been called an age of la- bor-saving machinery. It might more properly be called a time-saving age. The many inventions which save labor have for their object greater speed fully as much, if not more, than the saving of labor. The railroads spend millions in equipment to reduce the running time. Large sums are ex- pended to build ocean steamers to clip a few hours from the number required in crossing the ocean and people pay handsomely for the privilege of riding on the faster boats. Bulldings which formerly required years to erect are now completed and occupied in months, In all lines of human endeavor this speed goal is manifest. It is not alone the man whose business is urgent who takes the fast trains and the fast boats. They are sought just as eagerly by those on pleasure bent, with whom time 18 no object except the consuming desire for speed. It is the same way with our sports. The ball magnates at the close of every season meet and seek to devise means of cutting a few minutes from the time required to play a game. The automobile is sup- planting the horse as a pleasure ve- hicle chiefly for the reason that it re- sponds to the speed mania. Can the pace be continuously quick- ened? The question is not new, but rather as old as the time when man tralned the dumb beasts to his use or hoisted a sail to expedite the slower oars. The developments of speed have been more rapid in recent years than ever before and the speed limit must some time be reached, but just at pres- ent there are no signs of more than temporary let up. Court Decisions as Political Issues. In an interesting article contributed to McClure's Magazine, President Taft reviews the attempt in the last presi- dential campaign to make a political issue out of his judicial decisions. “I belleve it is true,” says he, “that I am the only successful candidate for the presidency who ever had extended ju- dicial experience.” He recalls that while Martin Van Buren had been a probate judge and Andrew Jackson had served as judge of the supreme court of North Carolina, their work on the bench never entered into their campalgns. Judge Parker had been on the bench, but his judicial decisions were not involved in his candidacy. The supreme court ruling on the “in- come tax'" wasone of the minor issues in 1896, but in no way personal to the candidates. After citing these in- stances, Mr. Taft ventures to assert that his experience in being called upon to go upon the stump to explain or defend his decisions has been truly exceptional. The main portion of Mr, Taft's arti- cle is taken up with a recital of the circumstances leading to the formula- tion of the labor and injunction planks in the platforms of the respective parties and a concise exposition of the facts in the various labor cases, which he decided as judge, and the scope and significance of those declsions. The explanation of the decisions is sub- stantially the same as he made during the campaign in his political ad- dresses, Mr, Taft is convinced that the failure of the muvement headed by Mr. Gompers to carry with it the large mass of the laboring vote is due to his attitude in squarely meeting the issue. On this point he reasons as follows: I am, of course, not blind to the fact that one of the chief arguments in my favor with the wage earner was the fear that the election of Mr. Bryan would make the hard times permanent, and the hope that the continuance of the republican party In power would insure a return of g0od times. Still I think it must be con- ceded that the showing made by Mr. Gom- pers upon the Issue against me as an enemy of labor was considerably less than he expected it to be, and that this was due, In part, at least, to the fact that no one can control the vote of the intelligent Jaboring man; that he does not yleld to mere sentiment or the calling of names, but that he, himself, investigates the rea- sons and makes up an independent mind. President Taft is also satisfied that he lost nothing by meeting the issue of trial by jury in contempt cases and taking the position thae the result of such a change in the law would be to put the means of evading court de- crees Into the hands of the wealthy and unscrupulous without any corre- sponding benefit to the poor and needy wage earner, On this he says: The appeal made to the farmer, business man and the public at large, Including the intelligent wage earner, against the weakening of the power of the court in the interest of a particular class was, if one can judge trom the attitude of the audiences ad- dressed, as strong and vote-getting an avgument as the republican party had in the late. campaign. According to information which came from close to Mr. Bryan, it is known that he rested most of his con- fidence in the expectation that the la- bor vote would be delivered to him solidly as a rebuke to Judge Taft's merchant, | labor decisions and that his campaign was made with a special view to hold- ing the support of the wage-earning classes even at the risk of antagoniz- ing the business interests. The com- plete fallure of this program, irre- gpective of the causes, will, we take it, be the best assurance that the attempt will not again be made in the same way. French Unions and Politics. It was manifest at its outbreak that the recent French postal strike was more of a political than a labor dis- turbance. Now comes the admission of this fact from the labor unions themselves in the practical disruption of the old central organization. The announced reason for the split is that labor men have discovered they were belng used for political purposes when the objects of their organization were all for the economic betterment of their condition. The political divisions in France differ so greatly from those in the United States that there is little room for comparison. Primarily there are republicans, monarchists, imperialists and socialists. Each in its turn is divided into groups lacking in cohe- gion. The labor union membership of necessity includes some in each of these parties and groups, but consti- tutes a majority of none except per- haps the socialists. Under such condi- tiong it has proved disastrous to per- mit the unions to be used to further the intrigues of either party, as such a policy aligned against them the solid influence of all the others, Labor must at all times appeal to the popular sense of fairness as a matter of economic justice. It is evi- dently the realization of this that has impelled the labor organizations to break away from mere political lead- ers. Nothing but the impetuosity of the French could have led them into such a controversy, but the saving quality of the nation is that the French pot ordinarily simmers down as rapidly as it boils over, Loyalty of the Foreign-Born. Never was there a more striking ex- ample by foreign-born citizens of loy- alty to their adopted country and ap- preciation of the advantages it has offered to them than the movement now in progress among the Danes of the United States to return to their native land to attend a celebration on the Fourth of July at an exposition now belng held in Copenhagen. Pa- triotic songs, both of the fatherland and of the United States, are to be rendered and prominent speakers are to extol the blessings they have found in their new home. very year the Fourth of July is ap- propriately celgbrated in foreign lands by Americans who happen to be abroad, but it is unique for our natu- ralized citizens to carry their celebra- tion back to thelir native country. The Dane has in all places and at all times been a good citizen and of a liberty- loving race. It 18 characteristic of him, having found that liberty, com- bined with opportunity, for which he was seeking, that he should be ready to hold up the Stars and Stripes to the admiration of his countrymen back home. Incidentally the Dane, no less than our ether foreign-born citizens, has set the native-born an example in patriptism and genuine love of country which {s worthy of emulation. Those to the manor-born have no monopoly in patriotism and love for this com- mon country of ours. The Meat Packing Industry. Some figures complled from returns made under the provisions of the Massachusetts state law for the first time give an approximate idea of the colossal dimensions of the meat pack- ing industry. According to the re- turns, which the meat packers have themselves made, the gross sales of their different products at all their plants of the five largest of them fs, in round figures, as follows: Swift Armour Morris National Packing - Cudahy Total..., The value of the total output of the combined meat packers is shown by comparison to be greater than the gross sales of the United States Steel corporation, which in its biggest year, 1907, reached $757,000,000. While the amount of business done by the meat packers is something stupendous, the percentage of profits turns on a small margin, best estimates making it not to exceed 3 per cent of the gross sales. These figures, so far as they refer to one well-known estab- lishment, are corroborated by the ex- hibits made in a recent statement of- fering a bond Issue, which is now be- ing placed, although that statement showed that the volume of business for 1908 had shrunk quite a from what it had been in the pru:.«rl- ing year of 1907, The meat packing industry comes directly home to the people of this sec- tion of the west, because It takes the raw material of the farm and ranch and transforms it into a finished food product. It would be interesting to know, if it could be ascertained, how much of the value of the packing house output of nearly $800,000,000 a year is returned to the farmer and stock raiser and to what extent the latter have profited by the organiza- tion of the meat slaughtering busines at central stations where it can be most economically handled. While the packers have developed a tremen- dous Industry, they have likewise rev- olutionized the live stock business at the same time and put it on an en- tirely new and firmer basis. little | SERMONS BOILED DOWN.
