LiFe ALSO TAKE DIS HAR The greatest significance of Labor Day is not as a celebration: i Praise of Labor, but as marking a seasonal change. Labor needs no celebration either to assert its value of to prove its erybody labors at-something in some way. Labor has been from the beginning of the world and it will continu _tethe end, It began when Adam was turned out of the Garden of Ede: and had to seek for fruiis; nuts and herbs to feed himself and his fami} and for leaves and skins to clothe their nakedness. It will continue unt? the end of time, or until the human race has so changed as to be devoi of physical and mental desires and appetites and the need and the im pulses for their gratification. Labor-saving machinery will not cause labor to cease or its impor tance ‘to lessen. On the contrary, every machine which diminishes the ‘ount of labor and effor: hitherto required to produce somé article 01 cessity or luxury thereby widens the scope of human possibilities and enlarges rather than diminishes the field for human lalsor. Labor is not limited to a mo- andsor-a-swine-of-the cessful. labor requires ‘more and more the conjunction ot an alert brain with trained muscles. The employments to which an un- Skilled man may be profitably put are less in proportion every year To swing a pick requires training and skill. To handle the most earth with a shovel calls for experience, From the delicate touch and sensi- tive adjustment of the engineer in- Stalling intricate machinery to the man whose day is spent in handlin heavy freight every occupation requires thought s well as physical effort and succeeds according to the amount of brain which goes with the muscle. : Starting in a new economic year everybody should realize that the emancipation and the elevation of labor is the test sien of human prog zess, and that only by the use of the brain can advancement come.

As a matter of fact, her reign was great in epite of her, not | because of any accomplishments of her own. She was perhaps better fitted }to manage a laundry than a kingdom. This woman, who was great in spite ~ | of herself, was Queen Anne, youngest daughter of James TI. and grand- daughter of Charles I. & Charles II. died childless and was succeeded by his younger brother “* James. James had two daughters, Mary and Anne, and, by a later marriage, Ls one son (James) who was destined to cause much trouble in the world. ~)James I1:-was- deposed after a stort, bigoted, useless reign by William, Prince of Orange, who had married James's elder daughter Mary, William =| and Mary ruled for some years, Then, both dying, ard leaving no children, t thé crown came to Anne. “An effort was made to place young James, her . jbrother, on the throne; but it failed, and, in 1702, Anne,’ at the age of - jthirty-elght, became Queen. ¢ 1, Anne had been married at twenty to Prince George of Denmark, by i whom she had seventeen children, all of whom: died before reaching the if Oar g 288, of eleven.

Bot Anne and Mary quarrelled over absurd little points of etiquette, and during Will- j{am’s reign the future Queen.and her Danish husband were soubbed right / and left and lived in obscurity. pis When Anne took the throne {x 1702, England was ready for one of its periodical waves of prosperity. Willlam had straightened out many mental snarla and had restored order out of the chaos left by the Stuart dynasty. Wise statesmen, great soldiers, wits and Mterary men abounded. Everytaing was prepared for a golden age. The tide of good fortune ran so-strong that not even Anne's stupid incompetence could check it. Godol- phin, Somers, Harley and other famous diplomats guided the ship of state. The Duke of Marlborough led England's armies to victory after victory. ;Such writers as Addison, Steele, Swift and Defoe won deathless laurels. As in Elizabeth's time, the country was in the very flood of greatness. The ; fact that a fool instead of a clever woman now acted as figurehead of the H kingdom formed the chief difference between’ the two Queens’ reigns The Duke of Marlborough and his wife had boundless influence over Anne. These two worked first, last and alwzys for their own advantage, but as their interests and the Kingdom's welfare chanced to be the same, much national good came from their moulding of the poor puppet queen’ words and acts. Marlborough made England’s name formidable all ov Europe by his splendid victorfes over the French- His wife (of whom we shal] heer in fuller detail in a later article) enriched herself at court, and. with her husband, cont!nued for ten years to sway Anne's mind. In 1704 England captured the mighty fortress of Gibraltar, which has ever since been one of her chief barriers from foreign foes. In 1707 Great | Britain and Scotland were formally united under the title of “Great Britain.” Swift's “Gulliver's Travels,” Defoe's “Robinson Crusoe” and other classics were published. Wise management swelled the national treasury, Abroad and at home the world went unprecedently well for England. Anne quarrelled with the Marlboroughs in 1712 and dismissed them from court.

But ® the Queen, despite her efforts to make Parllament ac- cept James as her successor, had ‘the chagrin of sec ng that body ignore her wishes. England had had quite enough of the Stuarts, and James's reputa- tion did not warrant statesmen in belleving him a fit man for King. To add to this disappointment Anne found herself implicated again and again in disputes between her advisers, One evening Mrs. Masham and Harley quarrelled fiercely for several hours in her presence, exciting the Queen. so: that a Nt of apoplexy was brought on. Anne died on Aug. 1. 1714, few days after this mroke. She bad retgned twelve years, hat accompi.shed-nothing through any. talent or industry of her own, and yet had won lasting fame as an all- powerful sovereign.
