This year is sure to bring not only wage increases that w ill put the work ers in a position to meet the increas ed cost of living, but it w ilt also bring steady employment, a shorter work day, and a spirit of assurance and self-conhdenee. Since 1900 the co.t oi ioo. rent ana doming nas in creased faster than the wages paid in all but a few trades.

In his fourth annual message to congress General Jackson said: Neither our situation nor our in stitutions require or permit the main tenance of a h'.rge regular force. Hirtory offers too many lessons of the fatal results of such a measure not to warn us against Its adoption here. The expense which attends it. the obvious tendency to employ it for American products is immediate. No manufac turer reaping the enormous profits of present contracts can afford to risk the delay incident to a strike, because of contract ( liaises and because busi ness once lost during a boom period is gone forever.

When General Jackson used these words of warning against the dan ger of armies and militarism the ink with which President Monroe wrote the doctrine that lias taken his name was scarcely dry on the paper, ar.d Old Hickory was not afraid of its be ing violated. European powers were still regnant upon the western hemi sphere, and there were no strong re publics to the south of us. He prob ably knew that the British had burn ed the capital at Washington, still he was not afraid that they or any other people could conquer tills coun- injustiee. l lie commission tilso was I believe responsible for the creation of a remarkable degree of solidarity throughout the whole labor move ment. Factions hitherto irreconcila ble have met on the broad ground of the commission's findings and recom mendations and are united in their etforts to reach the common goal of higher wages, more leisure, and bet ter understandings with employers. This Is mostly clearly shown by the remarkable support and encour agement which the committee on in dustrial relations is receiving from every part of the American labor j movement.

It Is purposed to carve out of the solid rock a stupendous series of fig ures representing Confederate gener als and troops going into battle. The figures of Lee, Stonewall Jackson Gordon and other heroes of the South will be faithfully reproduced and the figures of the soldiers will be the ex act types of the men who wore the gray and fought for the lost cause.

One of the workmen at the tannery comments upon Jack as fol lows: "He ain't like a millionaire's kid at all. Generally, the sons of mil lionaire's wear their hair pompadour, strut around In $8 overalls and ride In limousines after a day's work. But this kid! Say. he's red headed and he wears a pair of last summer's pants and his motor car's a cross be tween a flivver and a freight car and he hasn't got much more money per sonally than I have.
