This Js My 52nd Birthday FRANK MORRISON. Frank Morrison, who has been honored with reelection as secretary of tho American Federation of Labor, was born in Franktown, Ontario, November 23, 1859 His education was received in the grade schools of his native town, supplemented by a year in the high school of Walkertown, Ontario. After leaving school he learned the printer's trade, which he followed for more than twenty years in various , cities of Canada and the United States. Early in his career he joined the typographical union and soon after became actively interested in the work of labor organizations. In order to better fit himself for his chosen work, Mr. Morrison took a course in law at Lake Forest university, graduating in 1894. He has been secretary of the American Federation of Labor since 1897 and is generally regarded as one of the ablest representatives of organized labor in the United States. KITCHENER STORIES. Caustlo Retorts of the Taciturn British Official. There are some stories, new and old, of Lord Kitchener told In Nash's Magasine by Sydney Brooks. "Sunstroke? What the devil does be mean by having sunstroke T' is given as the classic Instance of bis attitude toward the weaker vessels. A favorite captain of his was once Intrusted with an Important commission. There was a delay In executing it through bis horse casting a shoe. "Very sorry," was Kitchener's comment, "but I cannot rest my plan of campaign on a horse's shoe or an officer's carelessness." He has a grim, laconic humor. "Keep the gun," he la said to have wired to the war office authorities, who were pressing a certain weapon upon him. "I can throw stones myself." To an officer who kept on reporting that as a result of his various brushes with the enemy "several Boers were sen to fall from their saddles" Lord Kitchener sent the polite Inquiry, "1 hope when they fell they did not hurt themselves." He goes Instantly to the essentials. "Sorry to report loss of five men through explosion of dynamite," was the gist of a telegram from the front pat Into his hands one day. "Do you want any more dynamite? was his immediate answer. Men do the impossible at a word from him. "Twelve hoars la which to carry this dispatch? You mast do It In six." And the officer who had asked for the twelve hours did It In Ave.

On What Has This Man Fed? In another column we reprint from the Lafayette Journal a remarkable editorial. It is entitled "Danger from Democracy." Our first impression on looking at this was that it was an attack on the followers of Thomas Jefferson, who oppose the followers of Abraham Lincoln or better, the followers of DuPont, Aldrich, Guggenheim, Murray, Crane, Jim Sherman, Joe Cannon or even Jim Watson the "real Republicans." Our second impression was that it was a joke. But however charitable this may be, we shall assume that it is in sober earnest. "Democracy to the Lafayette Journal means "the masses of ignorant and envious who would like to gain not only the just rewards of patient industry, but an unearned and uninherited share of the accumulated rewards of the industry and thought and family fidelity of others." It is with a shock that we learn that, "It has been said that the constitution of the United States was founded upon faith in democracy. That is only partly true." Mercy on us! Founded on the principles of brigandage and the break up of the family?

The Lafayette Journal concludes in this fashion: "In Europe, democracy is already climbing into the saddle. Thrones are tottering and falling, one by one.till on the political map of the old world the territory of monarchy is being spread over by the ominous shadow of a new and mighty influence. There, perhaps even more than in America, democracy will be weighed in the balance and found wanting. Democracy will there be as great a failure as monarchy has proved to be. If, then, monarchy is dying of its own corruption and Democracy 1b foredoomed what can save the world?" If we did not know that the Lafayette Journal is as rubebr stamped a standpat-reactionary-Republican iaper as ever urged a post office appointment in the name of Abraham Lincoln and General Grant, we should make application to Frank Hitchcok to have it suppressed as an anarchistic sheet preaching chaos and bloor shed. "MONARCHY DYING OK ITS S CORRUPTION!" "DEMOCRACY IS FOREDOOMED!" "GIVE US CHAOS, FIRE AND TORCH ANY THING BUT MONARCHY AND THAT CHEAT OF CHEATS, DEMOCRACY!" This ought to be printed in red ink and flaunting scarehead or better yet printed-in blood thus outdoing the Appeal to Reason.

Or, maybe, (and this is a thought of compunction) the ' Lafayette Journal is bewailing the downfall of thf King of Portugal and is only awaiting tho arrival of the King on the trail of Gaby Deslys. On his arrival may we look for the Lafayette Journal to demand his immediate coronation? Thus will all of us Portugese in this country be freed from the tyranny of democracy, and those who do not believe in "family fidelity." Thus Good Queen Gaby will lead us into the paths that are straight. Better have monarchy and keep our ills for "revolution nor socialism nor any form of democracy can ever be the remedy itself." However, the Lafayette Journal is forced to admit that: "Revolution, as a necessary evil, may be the beginning of the remedy." Thus we are led to believe that what the Lafayette Journal really wants is revolution tempered by monarchy, or monarchy varied by revolution, we are not certain which. We started in by saying that the Lafayette Journal had printed a remarkable editorial. It is remarkable. But it is becoming quite usual for the standpat papers of both parties in this state to print this kind of guff. The truth is, of course, that the Lafayette Journal pays the people who read it the extreme compliment of thinking that the people will take all of this in, and that when La Follette or Bourne or Bristow make a speech, or introduce a bill for the betterment of the conditions which their people are fighting against, that they will be conceived as incendiary bombthrowers.

Think of the Kansas progressive Republicans going up to the polls in their automobiles or driving along in their spring wagons and piling up a majority for Governor Stubbs or Senator Bristow or Madison (a country banker) who has just died. Think of the cattle raising people of Wisconsin the owners of prize cattle and sanitary dairies who compose the ruthless mob which is back of La Follette, and think of the Wisconsin public service corporations and the citizens of towns that have both received a square deal out of his public utilities commission; and the railroads that are satisfed with the fair taxation laws and the benefits of the commission's fair rulings. Picture this "mob of ignorant and envious" who sent Bob La Follette back to the senate with the overwhelming stamp of approval as a constructive statesman. Think of prosperous Oregon of the boosting business men and the apple orchards being devastated by "the baser passions of the greater mob" having adopted the initiative, referendum and recall! Then think of the socialist gain in the small towns of Indiana and Ohio both states in the hands of reactionary partisans, styling themselves safe and sane Republicans and Democrats.

What is the significance of t - ' The lower tariff, the tariff com ission, the commission form of government, the short ballot, the initia ve, referendum and the recall, the public service commission, laws ag Inst watered stock, real protection for injured workmen these are the th ags which the reactionary papers, like the Lafayette Journal, condemn and seek to confuse with bomb throwing and the like things which they cannot and dare not openly oppose. The things that we have enum rated are among the most prominent in the campaign that the people are making in Kansas, Oregon and Wisconsinthose hotbeds of democracy, which are filled with just common everyday American citizens after the square deal. On what has this man fed anyway that he is determined to throw us into a straight jacket for insisting on governing ourselves?

TO BETTER RURAL LIFE CONDITIONS (National News Association) SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 23. With the governors of five states heading the list of speakers, the National Country Life congress which was informally opened here today with the reception of delegates promises to be the most notable and profitable conference ever held in the United States to aid in the betterment of the conditions of rural life. The congress will be in session six days. At the opening today the delegates were welcomed by Governor Hay. Included among those in attendance were well known educators, bankers, editors, business men and agricultural experts from all over the Northwest. Farm betterment, increased production, good roads, transportation, market problems, the rural social center, and the development and improvement of the work of the rural church are the leading topics scheduled for discussion.

Danger From Democracy

Practically all the thinking people in the world ore observing, among other things, the growing prestige of democracy not the narrow democracy of a single party or philosophy, but the ideas and hopes that underlie nearly all the modern organizations and tendencies of the masses, and the masses themselves. In our own country there is the principle of democracy influencing the activity of the Republican party, just as the same principle influences the plans of the Democratic party, and as, in a more dangerous form, it constitutes the philosophy of the socialist movement. When we view the principles of democracy in the light of socialist prophecies, they look black and dangerous, for the socialists are coming more and more to preach hatred and revolution. They are relying more and more upon an appeal to the baser passions of the crowd, the greater mob the masses of ignorant and envious who would like to gain, not only the just rewards of patient industry but an unearned and uninherited share of the accumulated rewards of the industry and thought and family fidelity of others. That there are evil burdens upon the poor and ignorant all must admit. Revolution, as a necessary evil, may be the beginning of the remedy, but neither revolution nor socialism nor any form of democracy whatsoever, can ever be the remedy itself. The poor and the ignorant, no matter who is to blame for their poverty and ignorance, can not create any form of government that shall be anything but itself poor and ignorant. Even today the masses have but a vague and confused idea of what they want, or how to get it, and the tendencies ' THIS DATE

Labor and Church Join Hands as Result Of Men and Religion Forward Movement

NEW YORK, Nov. 23. One of the most remarkable steps in the industrial history of Texas has been taken there as a resul of the Men and Religion Forward Movement. Unless some hitch occurs in the plans already agreed on, between the Pastor's association and the Central Labor Council of Dallas, each of these bodies is to have an active representative in the official work and deliberations of the other. The importance of this stap can be realized only when it is remembered that the labor unions are just beginning to recognize the fact that the Christian churches stand aggressively for such great principles as the abolishing of child labor, a square deal between employers and workmen, the protection of child life and of the rights of womanhood, together with many other objects which labor unions have striven for. Brought Them Together. Like churches in other parts of the United States, the churches of Dallas did not understand how sincerely labor unions have been working for these principles, until after the Men and Religion team of specialists had been there and had explained the situation. As a result, both find that in many parts of the program of human uplift their aims are identical. The concensus of opinion in this part of Texas is that if there had been no other result than this, all efforts in behalf of the Men and Religion Movement would be more than justified. It is far too early as yet to tel! in detail what practical effect this new relation of the labor unions to the churches will have; but it is confidentially expected that many misunderstandings will be avoided in the future as they would not otherwise be avoided.

of the industrial world do not seem to promise any greater average intelligence for the coming years. It has been said that the constitution of the United States was founded upon faith in democracy. That is only partly true. Most of those who had a hand in the framing of the constitution had in mind a limited democracy, a carefully safeguarded democracy, a democracy that could never be captured by waves of popular fanaticism; had they not been thus judicious, the ship of state might long ago have been capsized by the greenback wave, the free silver wave, or some equally fantastic and dangerous excitement. Such excitements would have been greater had the masses seen any hope of demonstrating their power. If democracy, from now on, is going to be the god of statesmen, we may as well admit that our government is doomed. In Europe, democracy is already climbing into the saddle. Thrones are tottering and faling one by one, till on the political map of the old world the territory of monarchy is being spread over by the ominous shadow of a new and mighty influence. There perhaps, even more surely than in America, will democracy be weighed in the balance and found wanting. Teh epilepsy of the commune of Paris, and of the Russian duma, is likely to be manifested over and over. Self government in the fullest sense will prove as impossible to the decadent nations of Europe as to the aborigines of a captured island. Democracy will there be as great a failure as monarchy has proved to be. If, then, monarchy is dying of its own corruption, and democracy is foredoomed, what can save the world?

IN HISTORY' Men and Religion Forward Movement, particulars are given of a meeting before the labor council at Labor hall, Dallas, at which the Rev. Charles Stelzle spoke. On its conclusion the Rev. Glenn H. Sneed, speaking with authority from the Pastors' association, announced that the clergymen desire the exchange of delegates to be made. Made First Move. R. H. Campbell, state organizer, who presided, speaking in behalf of the labor council, replied by recalling efforts made about four years ago by the labor council to bring about this affiliation of the two organizations. The council made the overtures at that time, but was unsuccessful. The plan met the approval of Mr. Stelzle, who heartily indorsed it in a supplementary address, explaining the purpose of the exchange and the extent to which it is being practiced in the United States. Introduced to the labor council by Mr. Campbell, Mr. Stelzle briefly told his auditors of his own labor record. "All I ask is that you give this movement a square deal," he said. "I have no apology to make, no favors to ask. I'm asking that the church give labor a square deal, and that the employer give labor a square deal, and I believe it is but fair to ask that labor likewise give them a square deal." Mr. Stelzle asked for another word to say something of the proposed exchange of delegates. "Seven years ago," he declared, "the plan was sugPILES tsr 10 Cents People who have suffered with itching, bleeding piles for 30 years have been completely cured by a 10c box of Piex.

gested by the central labor body of St. Paul. It was put through successfully and some forty or fifty delegates served in such capacity. The matter then came up before the American Federation of Labor, in session at Pittsburg, and resolutions indorsing the plan were unanimously adopted. It also meets the emphatic indorsement of such distinguished labor leaders as Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and others. Basis of Plan. "The basis of the plan is this," said Mr. Stelzle: "It has often been said that the minister doesn't understand the problems of labor. I want to say that the workingman, perhaps, is as much to blame for this as the minister. It requires personal contact to understand the problems of labor. Abstract study merely gives a vague indefinite idea of them. Now, if a preacher should come here to sit with you as the association's representative on this board, he would come as a sympathetic student of labor's problems. He would go back to his church and to his brother preachers carrying something of the spirit of the workingmen. Your man will catch on to something of the spirit of the preachers he'll brace up the preachers a bit, too. He will inject some vital, practical methods of solving their problems. The scheme has been tried out now, I believe, in about 125 cities of the country, and it has proved successful." Mr. Stelzle expressed his hope of accomplishment in the proposed exchange of delegates. He said he finds some prejudice against union labor in Dallas. The meeting of a minister in the councils of labor would assist in dissipating this prejudice. Mr. Stelzle added that there is a more cordial feeling now among the great mass of churches for organized labor than ever before in the history of the country. To hasten the development of this cordial feeling, Mr. Stelzle suggested the use of intelligent publitict in behalf of the affairs of organized labor.
