DU! [0 Clcuu, intelligent. productive labor we pay our respects. ‘ Labor is at the foundation of all production... Labor renders nature’s fruits subject to our use. Everything we haveÂ¥ excepting the elements. must in some way become the product of labor be- fore it is ready for our enjoyment- Primitive~man 'hewed the vtood and drew the water." Even the final use of air involves labor. The loaf of, bread, the shelter above us, the book we read, the raiment we wear, .are the fructifi- cation of labor in some form. , Labor rs not only essential la- bor Is honorable. That the world progresses goes back to the simple fact that. “The tireless hand of labor turns The countless wheels of toil " lt.is honorable to produce, and he who produces contributes more to the sum of the world's happi- ness than he who c'onverts 'to his own uses the fruits of labor. piling up wealth 'for the mere ’sake’of amassing, without definite purpose .to turn it to good ends. Labor’s reward is life, and me is iargely what man makes it. Not mere existence. but the en- joyment of things turned to use by labor. to the end that intelli- gence and spiritual force shall be cultivated, is the true life. and to those who labor-and earn the right to a place in the reign of mind come the best "rewards of human effort. _ - ' 1 Labor desires tpeace. because peace coupled with plenty is the ideail condition of man- He who earns plentv should have it, 'and the masses have always been ‘rcady to” Sacrifice peace to. possess that plenty which is the product of their toil- ‘ Labor and capital should not war. but they_ have warred, and they will continue to war, until there comes the time when an equitable division of the fruits oil labor is pacifically agreed to. The victory of the masses. where gova cmment tends to freedom and enlightenment, is always a qucs~ tion of time. The fight of labor in America has been a‘ slow but sure .victory.

We do not find fault with the monopolists who have simply acted the in- stincts of human nature in grab- bing Whatever of the national domain came within their reach; but We have a right to blame the administrations. previous to "Roosevelt's. in that they tacitly permitted it- ‘But still more should we. the people, blame our- selves for our indifference in look- ing on and uttering, no protest. All thanks to ethresident Roose- velt for sounding the alarm and opening the throttle of govern- ment machinery to stop the wrong. All thanks to the’ Amer. ican Forestry Association for their sturdy efforts to educate the peo- ple to action. The speech from which we quOte the following ‘was published in "Conservation." the organ of the American Forestry Association: - ' ”I am one of those people who believe, with Roosevelt. that the time to do things is now. . and let us talk about them afterward. I believe with him. that to with- draw for instance, from entry those lands which take with them power sites and to hold them for the benefit of the people is the thing for the Government of this country to do- ”And. therefore. ' I thoroughly agree with the actions and the work of the predecessor of the present Secretary of the Interior. You will remember. perhaps. that Mr-‘ Secretary Garfield, perhaps at the instigation of our very good friend, Mr; Gifford Pinchot. certainly with the advice and con- sent of the then President of the United States, Col. Theodore Roosevelt; did withdraw from public entry certain parcels of the puhlic lands aggregating about 1. 000 000 acres, in each of which parcels of public land there was a power site. - ”Much to the surprise of thel people who were interested in those things in this country, al-1 mostimmediately after his induc- tion into ofiice as Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Ballinger. the pres- ent Secretary of the Interiorhput back into public entrv these vari- ous parcels of land which em- braced a water-power site; and ‘within eight days, or within a fvery few days after the order had Sheen made. most if- not all of gthese power-site plants had been ‘grabbed- By whgm? By the ‘people who will use them for the lfuture benefit of the people of the [United States? "New, Iam informed that the Secretary put back into public entry thesevarious parcels of the public landfieach embracing a power site, and which had been withdrawn from entry by‘ his pre- decessor, Mr. Garfield. 1 am in- formed that he did this because there was‘no specific law by which the Secretary of‘th'e Interior could do these things; but Garfield did them. The then President of the United States patted Garfield 0n the back for having done that, land the present President of the gUnitéd States, unfortunately after 1the damage had been done. orâ€" deréd the Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Ballinger’, to withdraw again from public' entry those lands which were left andhad not been grabbed because they did} not contain power sites: and let me say. that Mr. Taft. before hebe- came President of the United States, had amputation amorig the common, everyday, ordinary quit‘e ‘a lawyer. "At any rate. the Secretary of the! Interior first restores land to public entry because there is no specific law, I am informed. an}. of the country. as being thorizing him to keep them from public entry, .and then. at the order of the President of the United States. he'again withdraws‘ those lands from public entry~ But law or no law, specific or un- specific. is it not about time that the plain. ordinary. every-day, God-fearing. law-abiding. patri- otic people of this country should receive some little attention in the disposal of these things? And is it not time that; if. by any possibility” there can be any doubt. that doubt should be re- solved once in a while to the ben- efit of the people of the country?" Agitation Momma-mt It is safe to say that there is no other one institution. no other one method of agitation which is doing so much to impiove our conditions of municipal govern- ment as the National Municipal League This institution, organ- ized some years ago, has for its object the inculcation of better conceptions of municipal govern- ment and better enforcement of‘ municipal laws. It holds annual: meetings in different parts of the country where the ablest students of municipal .aflairs meet and dis- cuss the principles and practices of municipal government. The discussions and speeches ,of the idelegates to these annual con- ferences are substantially bound' In permanent book jorm. These volumes constitute a comprehen- sive fund of interesting, instruct- ive. and practical knowledge for every voter who would perform his part in making better munici- pal government. Some years ago the League established an annual prize to be called the William H Baldwin Prize. The Subject for the prize of 1909-1910 iar‘X‘City Government by Commission." The competi- tion will be limited to under- graduate students registered in a regular course in any college or university of the United States offering. distinct instruction in municipal government. ' A good law always enforced with reasonable promptness is a good educator. A bad law rigidly enforced may not be a bad educa- tor: nay, it may be even a good educator. But whether a law be good or bad. if not enforced. it is bound to prove a bad educator. We, the American people. have gained an unenviable notoriety by our dilly-dhllyinrz methods of executing our laws, especially our criminal laws. ‘ If we mistake not our federal courts are much more prompt in the administration of justice than ate'our state courts. But even our federal courts are much slower than are the courts of some European countries. But a‘ few days ago'a distinguished British officer was assassinated by an Indian student. The student was promptly arrested. the trial lasted an hour. and only two weeks elapsed between his arrest and the.sentence. - Three Presidents of the United States have been assassinated. iIn each instance the assassin has been immediately arrested. ‘Nor was there in anyone of the three instances any question as to the deed, or as to the person who committed it. but long delays in each instance followed before- trial, and the trial In each case consumed weeks. Under sucha lax system of administering justice is it any wonder: that crime is Constantly increasing? ’Is it any wonder that many of ’our young lmen grow up. without any v'ery profound respect for the laws of lthe land? And is it any wonder Enforce the Laws that the patience of well-dimmed citizens it exhausted and rennet it had to lvnch law? The immortal Lincoln evidently saw the danger lurking in curl loose methods of executing justice; when he uttered the following words: "Let reirenence for the law be taught in schools. in semi- naries. andin colleges; let itbe wtitten in primen. spelling-book! and almanac“ let it be punched from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And. in short. let it become the political religion of the-nation; and let the old and the young. the rich and the poor. the grave and the gay. of allpexes and tongues and colon and con. ditions. sacrifice unceasingly upon I; OurOutloék ‘kl its altars."

The event occurred in Maine in the days of Hon. fame: G. Blaine’s early practice as a lawyer- Mr. Blaine had but recently been admitted to tbe bar. He was ambitious. But it has in a rural part of the country and building up a good practice was a slow process. Nevertheless he patiently worked and waited. One day a stranger in town was accused of having stolen a watch from a jeweler. He was arrested and brought betorea magistrate‘ for trial. He denied the charge; and learning that Mr. Blaine's oflice was nearby. sent for him to. take the case in defense of the accused. Mr. Blaine tool: his client aside and inquired as to the circumstances. The defendant denied all knowledge of the theft. There was certainly no guilt at- taching to him in the matter. The trial began. The lawyers on both sides wrestled vigorously. There was some circumstantial evidence of guilt on the part of ‘the accused. but while the watch ‘had been stolen. it could notbe found and nobody had seen the defendant take it- After the testimony came the arguments. Mr. Blaine. fully be~ lieving in the innocence of his client, threw all the energy of his youthful ardor into hil argument. The. case was given to the jury. After being out for a brief time they returned and brought ina verdict of '3not guilty." For a moment there was silence. Then the defendant arose. grasped the hand of his counsel and evidently1 much moved said to him: ' Mr- Blaine. I expected to be convict- ed. You have made a noble de- ‘fense in my behalf Iam more indebted to you than I can ex- press- But the worst is I have no money. with uvhich to'pay' you.
