The whole neighbor hood abounds with historical associations.

Furtlier along is, the commodiouns tavern where mere prosperous planters clinked their glaases and dragk to the health of the new nation. And yet this section, once so full of prosperous farmers and busy workers, is now desolate. The reason for the change is not hard to find—the land that is for sale is held at exorbitant figures, Many large tracts are in the hands of old families, who refuse to part with them for sentimental reasons. Many refuse to sell because the land is clone to the capital and will some day besworth fabulous sums, At first glance it would seem a losing game to pay taxes on all this vacant land and one day while in the vinecovered court house at Puirfax I mentioned that thought to the clerk He smiled and showed mo some tax bill, Land that was held for sale at from three four thousand dollars was taxed, state, county, local taxes included. at about $70.00 an acre.” J.

FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1919, by Frank Crane) The human spirit, asserts Mr. Corless, unless it has been utterly suppressed, is fortunately so constituted that it always rebels against any form of external author- ity in which it has no share and which it does not intelligently grasp. This is a good statement of what causes the social fever. Mr. Corless has isolated the germ, as the doctors say. In other words, Democracy is the natural condition of man, and the only state in which he will be happy. And in business is just as inevitable as in tics; also, we may add, even more to accomplish. But in some way we will have to come to it. We are in the midst of a g transition period. Autocracy ev is being challenged. And men who have tasted the sweet of self-government in politics are not going to remain satisfied with absolutism in. industry. “Industrial peace will never be attained,” asserts Mr. Corless, “as long as capital and management assume the right to a final say on matters intimately affecting welfare and even the self-respecting ence of a very numerous class whose co-operation is as essential to the si of every industrial enterprise as their Do we Tealize that the autocracy of capital is coming to an end?” This—not from a Bolshevik, but from a scientist. Are we who have espouced prepared to go on with it to | conclusion? This country as well as Europe is alarmed over the spread of unrest among laborers. Congress is investigating Bolshevism, We have sent some agitators to the penitentiary and have deported others. There is a good deal of talk about taking prompt and severe measures with the trouble-makers It would be a good idea to use a little common sense with this problem. And common sense dictates that when there is a disease we should find the cause and remove it, and not deal with surface symp- toms. What is the cause of the continuous agi- tation of labor against capital? A sensible answer to this question was given by C. V. Corless, a Canadian author- ity on economic problems, in an address before the American Institute of Mining Engineers recently. He points out that it is not a question of more wages and shorter hours, for even with these concessions, labor is not satis- fied. The trouble, he declared, is that in modern industry workers do not feel per- sonally interested. They have no sense of | ownership. They have little or no concern in the end product. Also they have very little voice in gov- erning themselves. They are cogs in an economic machine, in which they lose their identity. Somebody, somewhere, shapes the organization and sets it in motion, but the work they perform has little, if any, | scientifie or social meaning to them.
