"Labor And Capita V Are
Issues Dealt With By
H. S. Ward In Speech
(Br H- 8, W?rdj
The following la a practically full
and entirely fair synopsis of that
part of the speech at Beaufort re
ferred to by quotation in some of
the community local papers, and I
hand it in for publication because
of the reports appearing at second
hand which do not quite fairly pre
sent my rlews:
"When labor enters upon it* con
tract with Capital," It assumes to it
self '-the same obligation to measure
oat a full and fair return that Cap
ital does to pay every penny of Its
contract price, and there Is no dif
ference In the legal or moral force
of the relative obligations.
"It ts much easier for Labor to
see an Injustice to Itself proceeding
from Capital than to fully see and
understand an injtibtlce from tto?Mf
to Capital. Indeed, this is a control
ling psychological fact. The golden
rule would be easily observed In all
the relations of life If It was as easy
for us to see where we are dealing
out injustice to the other man aa It
ts to see where his injustice lies to
ward uj. Unfcitunately the scal?>*
are easily poi? I in the latter in
stance, but they are awfully hard to
told and dlfflci'lt of adjustment in
the other. '
! "If my office stenographer con
ceives tne higl. appreciation I hold
of her . services and concludes ' that
that aporeciatl.M in Itaeir will ?un 1

no fair dealing in the action. If.
on the other hand, ahe sees her effi
ciency directly producing ah Increase
of Income and an Increase of iny ca
pacity for accumulation, she has the
right to demand a fair share in tiui
increased productivity produced by
jher loyalty and . expertness. And
this 1 hold aa a fair Illustration of
Labor's duty to its employer.
"If Labor seeks to gain an advan
tage by the threat of strikes on the
eve of great presidential campaigns
and thereupon secures the enact
ment of hasty and unconsidered
statutes. It ueeds to bo at once warn
ed that this standard of conduct will
not succeed in this age
"We are in the habit of falling
back upon the strength of the Fed
eral Constitution and of Federal
statutes. In most instances, they
are pretty safe Interpreters of our
rtghts, but In the great and acute
question now pending between La~
bor and Capital, let not either side
assume that It can exert advantage
ovor the oUier by Federal laws.
There Is a law Infinitely higher than
the National Constitution and a
| court infinitely higher and stronger
than our court of last resort which
interprets that constitution and en
forces Its provisions. That law Is
the law of-publlc sentiment and the
court la the high court of the public
congctence. enlightened by the strong
est civilisation that the world has
ever known and supported by the
Wrongest national spirit In the his
tory of the world. Labor must come
back at last to be judged and com
manded by this court, and the pub
lic sympathy for one who tolls will
not be the controlling spirit In that

f "Lei it be understood that when
Labor organizes it creates of aad
for Itself a corporate entity, and In
Its contest with Capital two corpo
rations are contending with each
other. The public will hold the
scales airly between two corpora
tions. This organizing into a sep
arate corporate entity remove* La
bor a great distance from the human
heart and snaps the h,eart string?
that bound the suffering laborer to
the sympathetic and emotional na- j
ture. This thing of distance Is a '
painfully controlling consideration j
in--. adjusting the rights of contend
ing parties in any court. If a single
laborer Is contending with a great
corporation and both are present be
fore the Jury. I could not point to
a nobler impulse than that which
prompts the average Jury to lend Its
preference so far as it can to the
support of the laborer But If it be
a hundred thouaand laborers incor
porated. I know no difference be
tween the two coporations. and th<
Jory in the great coutt of the public
conscience will hold them to th
same accountability.
"Temporary advantages gained by
hasty laws enforced under excite
ment will not prevail. The peopl<
of America believe in a written con- ,
stitution and in a court of last re
scfrt to hold the legislative depart |
ments of the government to a rul
oti conformity, but they will not b.
arbtrarily dictated to nor offended
by constitutions or laws.

"Big Mystery "
Is Unsolved
At Relhaven
CltizenB of Belhaven are greatly
puzzled over the mysterious disap
pearance ot -JO gallons of liquor from
the Jail in that city. What became
of it? Who took it? How was It
taken? These are question* which
no one appears to he able to an
swer.
The pollco of Belhaven have been ,
taking in liquor from time to time,
and storing It up In the jail. The
other day. they decided that they
had too much on hand, and they de
cided to do away with some of It. I
They unlocked the room In which |
the stuff was kept. The bottles were
all there. They loaded them up.
took them outside and uncorked 1
them.
(And here's where '"the dirty!
work" came In.)
! As they turned the bottleB upside,
down, inktead of the whiskey pour
ing forth, they were aatonlshed to J
behold The purest ARTESIAN' WA

Some one had evidently taken the
whiskey out. poured In the wat??r
and replaced the coika.
