Member of the United Press, Pubs Mahed daily by The Star Publiah~ KIRBY TO MITCHELL THE SEATTLE STAR EDITORIAL AND MAGAZINE PAGE STAR—WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1909 HE WANTED TO BE ALAWYER | BUT BECAME NEWSPAPERMAN | PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL EDITORIAL ABSOCIATION 18 ALSO A FARMER. Jol who has succeeded C, W. Van Cleave as) arch foc all labor organizations, which seems to be the} business lent of the National Association of Manu facturers pen letter to John Mitchell recently his letter Kirby rubs salt into the open wound of labor relat by hearsing story after story of alleged “labor outrages. How ny of them are real labor outrages, and how many are linary crimes faked to | like evils resulting from strikes, no one can say, It is interesting, however, that the week saw Kirby's letter published saw a bomb throwing in a war between protected and unprotected gamblers in Chicago look for Mr. Kirby's next pronunciamento to list this among union one of those over-wrought souls little laid to the labor people, and we may enormities—for he is evidently mean much of to whom the ordinary rules of evidence according to the way his mind is made up. For all that, union labor has been guilty of outrages in the past. We should be glad to believe that it will never be guilty in like manner again—but we are not so optimistic, human nature being as it is, On the other hand, unionized capital has been quite as guilty of outrages quite as awful as any of which labor may be accused, and quite as many of them, We should be glad to think that these things are over, but the blind hate of men like Kirby and Van Cleave forbids any confident hope The Van Cleaves, Kirbys, Gomper and Mitchells are thrown into an arena by forces greater than they, and greater than they may know, and made to fight like rats and dogs in a pit Per haps one is as much to blame as another, And at bottom, we} common citizens are as much to blame as they, for we make and unmake institutions, and institutions make labor troubles. Kirby declares that his union is secking to protect “peace ful and law-abiding citizens in their God-given right to labor.” Does he know what that means? Does it mean only that every man has a right to work as a strike-breaker or otherwise, for him and his associate employers? Is it a God-given right to work for someone else only? If that is all it amounts to, is it worth fighting for? If the God-given right to labor means that God has ac corded to most men the sacred right to compete with each other for jobs to be given or not as they please by other men, then all that is necessary for the re-establishment of slavery in any coun try is for the employers to organize so closely that they can list, name, number, tag and rate all the laborers who may desire work, and give work or refuse it as they please If that is all there is to the God-given right to labor, God has delegated to capital the absolute rulership over labor. Of course, Kirby may urge, the world is wide, and labor may find employment anywhere. But it is not true. The world is wide, but it is owned. Labor has ceased to own any world. If Kirby will throw himself into the fight for the striking of the hand of monopoly from the ownership of the earth, he gianced in surprise from the want will show himself capable of looking at both sides of the shield Labor and productive capital are both exploited by monopoly. While it may look tearful, the Dust of Jim Hill probably will re frain from dolefully informing us that we are going to the bowwows fm the course of the next six months. . "Cherokee BUI" of plains fame bring it down near to sea level. A Bellingham man advertised for a wife in the Police Gazette and got her, The alimony is such aa & person of her literary tastes would naturally require. Perhaps it ts for the good of the service to insist that Lieut. Sutton killed himeelf, irrespective of the facts in the case. Tn comparison with the swindling employment office man, the big mitt and bunko artists are positive philanthropists. Will H.

Print paper ie what newspapers are printed upon.” “Oh, | thought they were printed upon presses,” said Jim. “Go ahead.” “No, the supply of cheap paper stock is growing limited in this country,” continued the major. “The price of paper has risen even more than the shortage justifies, they say. The old newspapers that have been read and discarded can be worked over into new paper, but unfortunately the ink with which they are printed makes it so dark that it cannot be utilized by the publishers. If it could, the problem would be solved. Now, if we can solve the problem, it will make us rich--rich as cream, if you know what that is.” “Tl ask my milkman about that some day,” said Jim. “But this richness—can we connect with it? “To be sure,” replied Major By- ors in glowing accents, “When I make my intended introduction of the perforated type newspaper we will wax plutocratic on the profits. The letters will be punched through the sheets. That will allow the old papers to be worked up again with out deterioration from ink." “Have to read that kind of a paper by holding ft up to the light, don't you?” mused Jim, “Couldn't print but one page on a leaf, either. Have to use twice as much paper, | Bah!" At this blow to his intentions Major Byers was silent, and wept bitterly into his coffee. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
