The Labor Movement in American
Politics.
Knm "A Yfir' Activity of ljiKr rnloni-m.
I.jr Vlftor S. Varro.. In the Amrrtrau Munlb
1 Krvlrw of KV Tlrwi for January.
when the campaign was over
aud the votes were counted it was
found that the iudejieudent tabor
movement in politics had caused
no material damage to the existing
parties, Aone of the candidates on
what was called by the daily press
"labor s blacklist ' had been de
feated. ieaker Camion had lcen
elected by an increased majority,
perhaps on account of his "presi
dential Ihmiiii." Mr. I.ittlelield's
majority hail, indeed, lieen greutly
reduced, but so had the majorities
of the other Maine Representatives
whom lalxr had not opposed.
W its, then, the labor campaign a
total failure! Such was the verdict
of many newspapers ai.d party pol
iticians, but the Federation tiKik
an entirely different view. Mr.
(ioiuners said in the orgauoftbat
organiatiou that the cuinpaigu had
'achieved much more than we had
hoped." A great educational work
had been instituted; an impression
had hecu made; two trade union
meu, nominated by the regular par
ties, had lceu elected to Congress,
aud the number of unionists iu
State legislatures had leeu in
creased. ''We confidently expect,"
added Mr. (iompcrs, ''a fairer and
more judicial temper on the part
of the coming session toward our
demands."
There were those who thought
thc.t the executive committee of the
Federation had misrepresented the
rank and tile in going into politics.
I hey predicted that the annual
convention would rebuke, perhaps
retire, President Goinpers. It not
only re-elected him and his associ
ates, but unqualifiedly indorsed his
course.
The campaign just dcscrilied had
one interesting sequel. At the
Miniieapolisconvention several del-
egiites complained of the lack of a
leluute lalKr "platform." In a
general way, they said, every in
telligent man knows what union
ibor is striving for, but the new
situation and the new rolo of labor
ailed for a formal, precise state
ment of labor's principles and ob-
ects. A declaration of such prin-
iples was accordingly drawn up
and unanimously adopted by the
convention. It is less "radical"
thau the platform of the liiitish
Trade I'nioii Congress, but it is
doubtful whether three or four
years ago the Federation would
huve been ready to accept it in its
entirety.
Or. ndver's Great Speech at
Marshville Still in the Hinds
of the People.
our Homo.
The greatest speech ever deliver
ed iu Marshville was that of Dr.
(.'has. D. Mclver at the closing ex
ercises of Marshville Academy last
spring. There were those who
listened to it with indifference, as
is the case at all commencements,
but those who followed him closely
through his discourse were deeply
impressed aa they had never beeu
bel re. It is easy for a politician
to draw beautiful pictures of the
ideal, of the higher duties of life,
but on this occasion the audience
listened to a mau who had prac
ticed what he preached, to a man
who had sacrificed his personal in
terest for the bene lit of humanity.
We are publishing in another col
umn a tribute to Dr. Mclver a
reminiscence from Kdilor Daniels,
which shows what is meant by the
foregoing proposition, and we do
not believe the statement of Mr.
Dauiels is overdrawn.
In his addi-ess at the commence
ment here it will be remembered
that Dr. Mclver referred to the
idea of local taxation for public
schools as the ideal plan to make
the public schools a success. He
told about how the electiou iu his
district was Onally carried for local
taxatiou after repeated tinsuccess
ful efforts, starting with only about
three votes in favor of the measure
on first effort In the district the
majority of the voters were illiter
ate and they looked with euspicion
upon Dr. Mclver's effort to carry
the election in favor of local taxa
tion. "Ignorance," said Dr. Mc
lver, "always looks w ith suspicion
upon the efforts to enlighten and
educate." But by repeated efforts
the plan of local taxation finally
carried and it was a blessing to
that community, as it is to every
district that adopts it.
In starting the New Year the pa
trons of every district can make no
better resolution thau to vote in
j the s ial tax aud place their dia- LETTERS FROM ABROAD.
I tricU in front ranks of progress,
i loo uthert ana mot tiers are toil
ing bard under the delusion, that
you are working for the interests
of your children by laying np a
little property for their use, and at
the same time neglecting their in
tellectual culture aud training.
We repeat what we have said be
fore, wheu we say that yon owe
your children absolutely nothing
except a good moral aud meutal
traiuiug, but this much you do owe
them, and no amount of worldly
plunder you can leave them will
atone for the failure to give them
such training. If you develop
their minds by proper educational
traiuiug they can make their way
in the world, if they are any ac
count You can depend upon it
mat titer win at least nave a
equal chance in the race of life,
aud will be iu position where sape
rior intelligence can not take ad
vantage of them.
There is no better nor more eco
nomical way to educate than to
vote iu the special tax. It gives
you a supplemental fund which is
added to the public school fund
and enables you not only to get
choice of teachers but it gives you
a longer school term. Under the
preseut school law there is not
euough money to hire the best
teachers, aud it is a wise provision
that says auy district can have bet
ter teachers, louger terms and bet
ter schools if they are wanted. Un
der the law you have no excuse for
uot having a good school iu your
district, and you are committing a
crime agaiust your children wheu
you fail to provide for them by
voting the local tax. Thirty cents
ou the hundred dollars worth of
proiierty would never be missed,
aud yet when taken iu the aggre
gate it means that you have a good
school at home and will uever have
to send your children oil' to an ex
pensive boardiug school. It means
more thau this. It means that iu
voting the special tax you adver
tise your community as an ideal
place to live, and the advantages
thus secured will surely enhance
the value of your home. Our Home
hits no better advice to offer as a
New Year's resolution than to say,

McClure's for 1907.
In the January number of Mc
Clure's w ill begin the Life of Mary
Maker (i. hddy and the History of
the Christian Science Movement.
For the first time a complete, im
partial aud true story of Mrs. Kddy
aud Christian Science is to be had.
It will run throughout the year.
(ieorgine Miliuine has written the
story. For nearly three years she
hits pursued her study of the sub
jects. Five other writers of Mc
Clure's staff have worked with her
to make this story accurate, fair,
unbiased aud complete. Iu view
of the fact that for some months
the press has beeu full ot diverse
aud conflicting news and state
ments regarding Mrs. Kddy, it is
evident that accurate knowledge
concerning her isdifticult to obtain
in a short time. Consequently Mc
Clure's long aud thorough prepa
ration of its scries will give us for
the first time a true history and ac
count of her and her cult.
Carl Schurz's Reminiscences of a
long life will be continued. An in
dication of the timeliness of these
reminiscences and the reawakened
national interest in Carl Schurx to
which they have contributed, are
the great Carl Schurz memorial
meetings held recently in the cities
aud the memorial uioveuieut start
ed which proposes to raise l-'.IO,-000
and to erect a Carl Schnrx me
morial as a tribute to his great ser
vice to the progress of our country.
W iIIihiu Allen White, Samuel
Hopkins Adams, Burton J. lieu
drick and George Kibbe Turner
will also contribute to McClure's
powerful articles ou present day
topics, conditions aud men of na
tional interest. These writers are
big men aud the work of each oue
aside from its literary achievement
is a compelling, wholesome factor
iu the regeneration which these
United States are uow undergoing.
George Kennan, who won his
spin's by his remarkable series on
Siberia aud Russia's Kxile System,
has been added to Met 'lure's stall'.
Tho results of his recent investiga
tions and work will appear at an
early date.
Kllen Terry contributes an inti
mate history of the English drama
of our day. This writing teems
with anecdotes and iucidents from
the lives oT great actors whom she
knew intimately. From these droll,
amusing and interesting happen
ings we can understand why these
men and women of genius beeame
loved and famous.
For the story readers products of
all McClure's fiction favorites will
appettr, and a large number of
writers who have "hit" recently.
Such well known names as Joseph
Conrad, Mary' Stewart Cutting,
Perceval Gibbon, Viola Roseboro,
(). Henry, Myra Kelly, Rex Beach,
Mrs. Wilson Wood row and Helen
R. Martin give promise of as good
stories of various sorts as any read

will also contribute their share and

and enhance the writings and sto

From ltrenieo to Amsterdam is
something like I.Vl miles. But iu
this neck of the woods, they meas
ure distance by time aud you can
never tell "where you are at."
From oue place to auother is
many hours, and not so many miles.
The number of hours required to
travel a certain distance depends
upon which train you take. How
many miles any train goes iu an
hour nobody knows. And there
you are. The word mile dues not
mean the same thing in different
countries. An English, Dutch,
German or French mile is not the
same, but each differs from the
other. Consequently, time as a
measuremeut of distance is a sort
of international substitute.
We reached Amsterdam iu the
night, and it is always unpleasant
to do that To laud iu a foreign
city of tiMI,000 jHipuIaliou iu the
night time makes one feel like
thirty cents iu brownies at that
But the first omnibus had ou it,
"American Hotel," and we lost no
time iu getting in it Those words
were an oasis in a desert The
Dutch language is very hard to un
derstand, but I am getting along
with it fairly well. I have been in
Holland three days aud have al
ready learned what the Dutch is
for depot and hotel. (Hotel is the
same in Dutch as in English ). The
word for bread is not so easily
learned, and I am still having to
point at my bread. In naming
their hotels the Dutch go to ex
tremes. Iu this city are the "Bible
Hotel" and the "Dam Hotel."
Wheu I was here a few years ago
I was a guest of the latter. Iu writ
ing home I said, "I stopped at the
Dam Hotel.'" Aud when I set
tled ray bill I bad further proof
that the name was well choseu.
The Dutch people are fond of the
word "dam." They have here
Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Zaaudam,
Schiedam aud many other names
ending in dam.
Iu the misty past the Dutchman
said to the sea, "Staud back!" By
heroic work he made it stand back,
and by ceaseless lalior has kept it
there. For countless ages the
Rhine and its tributaries had been
bringing soil from the Alps and
depositing it near the river's
mouth, or mouths, as it bad more
than oue outlet into the sea. The
Dutchman discovered that for miles
around, the sea was very shallow,
and he constructed vast dikes out
in the sea and connected them with
the land, then ho pumped out the
water aud a new country was
made. If he had waited some thou
sands of years the Rhyne would
have elevated the land above the
sea, but the Dutchman took time
by the forelock aud made him a
land of his own. For more than a
thousand years the inhabitants
have beeu working, eating and
sleeping many feet below the level
of the sea. The rivers running into
Holland must also be diked. These
dikes jft dams were constructed and
are maintained at enormous ex
pense. The water that seaps
through, aud that which is let iu
for drainage, is pumped out by
large wind mills. By means of
raised earth one canal will be made
higher than auother and a wind
mill will pump the water out of the
lower and empty it into the higher
canal. From the latter other wind
mills will raise the water and
empty it into a still higher canal. It
is not exactly a pump, but a slant
ing, auger-shaped wheel that bores
the water into a higher canal. In
this way the foul water iu the city
and town canals is taken out and
fresh water is then turned in at
other places through large gates.
This is troublesome aud expensive,
but necessary for purposes of sani
tation. Canals intersect the conn
try in every direction and are the
principal highways. The country
people carry their products to the
cities and towns on canal boats.
These boats are ruu by steam, by
sails, pushing poles or are pulled

Some of the boats are for carrying
IMisscngers, and you cau see the
sights of a city iu that way if you
prefer. I U-fore pacing uuder a
bridge over the canal the pilot will
hallo, "Hoo, boo, lay!" dwelling
on the word lay. If it were dark
you would take it for an American
hooting owl. His warning is for
you to duck your head under the
bridge. I saw one boat uamed
"President Roosevelt"
The water iu the canals looks
filthy aud it is filthy. All the sew
erage of the cities itdumed into
the canals. From every house iu
the cities is a pipe emptying iuto
them. Iu the summer times "com
pound of villanous smell'' is con
stautly offending the uostrils.
Even in winter you can distinguish
oue of them from a geranium. W hy
the people don't all die with ty
phoid fever is hard to understand.
An American resident iu this city
said to me that there was always
typhoid fever here, and lots of it,
too, but the doctors would never
allow that the canals had anything
to do with it They all lay it to
the milk from the country. The
canals are "Hushed'' but it is im
possible to keep them clean, owing
to the difficulty in getting the foul
water out. What alsmt drinking
water, do you sayf Well, that is
the question. I asked a waiter at
the hotel about drinking water and
his reply was, "De poor mau he
drink water. (Jin, beer, wiue, cof
fee and tea for de better man."
Aud that is about the si.e of it.
According to his classification "de
better mau'' seems to be largely iu
the majority. What drinking
water is used here is pijM'd from
the dunes near the sea and water
for other purposes from rivers.
The soil of the country is very
soft, and a solid foundation upon
which to build houses cannot tie
found. It is necessary to drive
down a great many piles and build
on top of them. Hence, the witty
remark of Erasmus that he knew a
people who lived iu the tops of
trees. The piles often give way or
sink deeper, and that causes the
houses to tilt or careen out of the
perpiHitlicular, and a row of houses
ofteu look like they had liceti
drinking too freely of giu or
Schiedam schnapps.
The Dutch people have a heroic
history, but nothing else could be
expected of a people who had con
quered the sea and taken their
home from it. They are a rather
exclusive sort of people. You find
Holland occupied almost exclusive
ly by Hollanders. There are Jews
scattered about in it as you find
them everywhere. But there are
practically no French, Germans,
English or Americans iu the coun
try. Holland hits do immigration
bureau and is not seeking immi
grants. The country is full already.
They are contented with their gov
ernment, their way of doing things
aud especially satisfied with them
selves. But they will certainly'
give you "a square deal." They
treat you right and you cau rely on
what they tell you. They dou't
gouge, take advantage of or run up
bills on you. They resemble the
Germans somewhat iu appearance,
but have au individuality of their
owu. In the cities they dress sty
lishly and live well. They love
a drink but uot like their German
neighbors. You see few drink
shops, but lots of churches. How
ever, two native Dutchmen told
me that they were not a very reli
gious people. Some of them are
but the bulk are uot. They are
industrious. I have seen but few
idle men aud no idle women. All
of the women are industrious as
bees aud some of them are as sweet
as honey.
But iu Holland, as iu all other
European countries, there is au
upper and lower strata of society.
The person who comes here and
visits only the cities does not see
but half of Holland. The other
half is the interesting part. If you
get out far enough from the cities
you can see life and people of the
fifteenth century. We went out
twenty miles from Amsterdam and
saw the primitive Dutchman. We
visited Edam, w here they make so
much cheese. I tried to buy a piece
of the tempting looking article, but

some leather shoes. The very sight
of him is an instantaneous cure for
the blues. The children look like
"boogers."
But there are two sides to this
matter. While I was greatly
amused at these lieople, it seemed
that I was eveu more amusing to
them. As we walked along the
street of a village the population
stared and jHiiuied at us. As we
passed the village school, it turned
out for dinner. The urchins sur
rounded us and followed along,
their wooden shoes making a ter
rific noise on the pavement Our
dreas was very fuuny to them aud
they pointed, commented and
laughed. My language was espe
cially amusing to them. I begau
to ask them how far to the nearest
windmill aud tJ know if I could hire
one of them to go with us. At the
end of each sentence I had to wait
for the applause to subside. My
wife became very much embar
rassed and annoyed ut their follow
ing us and at their merriment, but
there was no remedy they loved
fun as much as we did.
A person coming here in the
winter time ought to be web-footed
and able to swim. The city of Am
sterdam is Bituated on !0 islands,
couuected by 1100 bridges, aud over
0 canals run through it Besides
the water in the canals it rains
almost iticessautly. I thought Am
sterdam would lie full of Baptists,
as there is "much water" here.
Hut the Baptists, like other people,
dou't like too much of a good
thing. There is not a Baptist
church in the city. While on the
subject, I inquired about the Meth
odists. There is not a Methodist
church iu the place, but the other
denominations have a Methodist
feature take up the collections.
They took up three collections Sun
day night where I attended church.
An.t, strange to say, I never saw a
man, woman or child fail to give.
Perhaps I ought to state that Dutch
money is made in very low denom
inations. They have a coin which
is equal to only one-fifth of our one
cent piece. There is one Presby
terian church here. It was pre
sented by the town to the English
and Scotch Presbyterians iu WON.
The Presbyterians are holding their
own have as many churches now
as they had 1100 years ago. There
is one Episcopal church they are
keeping up w ith the Presbyterians.
There are Mormons aud Christian
Scientists here. Everything else is
Catholic or some kind of Dutch
sect Dutch Reform is the State
church, but the State helps all oth
er denominations.
We went to preaching last Sun
day night and enjoyed the service.
e took a back seat near the door;
but, in a moment, an elderly lady
with a tooth and a half in her
mouth came to us aud addressed
us iu a jerky speech. I expressed
regret at not catching the purport
of her remarks, as I only under
stood in English. The old sister
then went into au eloquent spasm,
emphasized with suitable gestures.
Guessing that we were "iu the
wrong icw" we sought another
scat The old lady appeared to
have a lucid interval again.
Ihe preacher seemed to know
what he was talking about, but his
voice needed to be vaccinated. The
only words I understood in the ser
mon were Ireland, Scotland, and
amen, ho allusion was made to
Moses, Nicodemui or Jeremiah. I
inferred from his earnest gestures
that be wasskinuing the Pharisees.
To me it was not much of a preach
looked like an assault with in
tent to preach.
Ibe next night we went to an
Italian play in the Palace Theater,
thinking a change would be bene
