VOL 7 NOT he O bjeet L esson o f th e Strikes.

Probably no reasonable man is dispos­ed to deny that the em ployment of great aggregations of labor by ̂ great aggrega­tions of capital has in it the inevitable possibility of abuses—the wise man would probably add, on both sidss; and he would certainly add, not to be entirely settled by any science whioh altogether ignores the hum an elem ent in the ques­tion. W e are in the period of discovery ini th is m atter; ju st before its great dis­coverers, le t us ho p e ; and everybody is trying it with his nostrums, as mediteval doctors did disease before intelligent medicine and hygiene. B ut surely, what th e strikes did, if anything, was to add another to the many proofs that no cure can be effected by any systematic in te r­ference with’ the liberty of the individual I t is never safe to dogmatize on what the wisest still hold to be in debate; but probably it would be the nearest approach to safe dogmatizing to say that only that degree of organizing and combining will ever be perm anent or successful which secures th e best opportunity for the in­dividual’s development; and the moment it does m ore and despotizes him it loses its. power and reacts like any other despotism. T his is the th eo ry of all suc­cessful government, and not all the plans of Socialism or Trades-unionism , when they go beyond it, w ill ever change the result. T here is ionly one perm anent despotism. “N ature is hot democratic, nor lim ited-monarchical, b a t despotic, and will not be foqled or debated of any jo t of her authority! by the protest of her sons.” W hoever forgets that society is an aggregation of individuals, and that you cannot perm anently change its insistance on the pursuit of its needs and wishes, or the changing individual hum an nature by saner and slower processes of education than those of Mr. Debs, seems to be in danger of this “pertness". I t is Emerson, of course, who says th is about nature. Probably one coaid in no way so m erit the derision of earnest Populists as to sit in the East and quote Emerson at th e m ; yet surely, even by a Populist th is may be read with benefit —From the “Point of View,” in the Septem ber Scribner.

we clip the following: “A lamentable condition of affairs in Philadelphia has lately been disclosed by a m ember of the L edgeriorce, Jam es F. Daily, who has been engaged for six months exam ining the patronage of the liquor business in that city of brotherly love. He discover­ed that of* sixty thousand signers for saloon licenses, a very large num ber are members and officers of various churches also of different branches of governmXpts and of coarts. Mr. Dailey names certain prom inent churches whose officers, Sun­day school superintendents, teachers^ trustees and vestrymen have their names affixed to saloon license applications, also police magistrates, city councilmen, state senators, etc. A lthough th is is probably no isolated condition, it is seldom that we have seen such a d d a r and startling reve­lation of iniquity, even in the liquor traffic.” !

Last Monday afternoon a ball nine com­posed of Plym outh business m en betook themselves to Northville to do battle with a sim ilar nine a t that place. The North- yille cornet band escorted th e two teams to the grounds .where an immense crowd had assembled to witness the game. The presidents of th e two villages acted as scorers w hile th e editors of the Northvillo Record and Plym outh M ail did the um ­piring. A fter a selection by the band the game proceeded and was not finished u n ­til 36 scores had been piled up by the home nine against 35 by the visitors. The game was called at the end of the fourth innings on account of darkness. H ard hitting was the ' particular feature of the game, Joe Tessman m aking two home runs while several of the boys made two and three baggers.

A fter the game both victors and van­quished were banqueted- at the Park House, after which our boys returned home well pleased w ith the days sport. I t is expected a retu rn game will be play­ed on the fair grounds one week from next Monday.

Salem. ! *The B. Y. P. l \ <j>f the Salem Baptist

church held th e ir annual election of officers on Wednesday evening, Aug. 21), t The annual picnic of the Sunday

schools of Salem township will be held at W hitmore Lake Thursday, August 30. The grounds near the lake have been en­gaged, also a speaker from South Lyon. A great day's enjoym ent is expected.

We who live in the country often hear about Sunday desecrations in our large cities and wonder w hy the people let such things exist; but when we were informed by goodf authority that the dance which w as’commenced at the Farm er’s Picnic was continued until sometime the follow­ing day or evening, w e ask, “ Is it not time Uncle Sam had something to sav about the m atter V”

The F arm er’s Picnic was held at W hit­more Lake, Aug. 25th as no doubt almost everyone knows, because everyone was there, or nearly so. Good music, both vocal and instrum ental, was furnished as was also speaking, though one of the speakers was not notified until the night before the picnic that he was expected to speak. This speaks well for the mana­gers of the picnic, but when we take into consideration the fact that the speaker thus left out until the eleventh hour was the nominee for governor on the prohibi­tion ticket, we were not surprised, for parties who favor license (high or low) ought to be ashamed to have their policy exposed to public consideration, as it would be at such a gathering. But the facts of the case we*e, the gentleman in question arrived ju s t in time lo take his place on the stand. He spoke eloquently and the gentlem anly bearing of the. man spoke well for him as did also his re­marks which were well tim ed and to the point, showing him to be a man well qualified to fill the office for which he is a candidate.

W hile driving through this and adjoin­ing townships we have noticed an abun­dance of loose stone lying in the road bed, and we are led to wonder if the highway overseers in the various road districts have ever read the instructions to overseers of .highways relative to loose stone in the track. W e have known of good horses being lamed by stepping on a loose or rolling stone, • therefore we think the parties having th is m atter in charge should not be so negligent iu re. gard to th is important duty.

“Our Country Cousin.” F rank Jones’ new play is of a more pretentious nature than his well-known skit, “Si Perkins,” ami gives promise, of being a great artis­tic as well as financial success. The title is certainly indicative of a good story. These natural and homely plays of rural life seem to please audiences much better than the overdrawn melodrama, for they appeal directly to the heart. The action of the play takes place in W est Virginia, with opportunities for elegant scenic and realistic effects.

Justice Lombard held court at the vil­lage hall on Monday to accommodate the crowd that attended to hear the suit be­tween Daniel Bryant and Alton E. Lewis. Bryant claimed that Lewis promised him work on the highway if he would vote for him for commissioner. Lewis denied the charge. The ju ry brought in a ver diet of no cause ifor action. They could not have done otherwise. No mail can contrast to do anything that is an uncer­tainty, and to say the least, if he had promised him work, no suit in court would allow’ damages for an illegal contract of that nature.

On Saturday Evening last some, one broke into the editor’s house and relieved H. J. Baker of $25 and took other articles of no value. The} editor’s wife was away on a vacation and|wTe suppose the robber.- thought money <j>r valuables could be found. Ail the money the editor had was out on subscription which we challenge any robber to collect. Mr. Baker was more fortunate arid had a few’ dollars in his pocket, but unfortunately he had “his other pants on.” ] That’s what a fellow gets for having two pairs of pants. An editor is too wise for that. I f it was local talent they ought to be “strung up” for tackling an editor’s house. I f foreign talent, we would, like to have the law- get hold of them.! T ake advice and don’t leave valuables in-the house when you go out.

Potter has tablets which are corkers at the price asked for them.

Ju s t what can be done by a live news- paper in the way of promoting good mor-. als for a place was demonstrated in Holly during the last few weeks. The Adver­tiser, published at that place, made war against the president and common coun­cil of the village for allowing a disrepu­table place, knowd as “Madison Square”- to run wide open In that otherwise moral community. N or did he let up until the infamous place had been driven out. The council adopted resolutions exonerating the president, which to say the least ap­pear very flimsy, as it has caused them to

the laughing stock of the town and the best advertising the Advertiser has ever had. The head push of the house of ill- fame is a brother of the president, and lies in ja il unable to get ta il. Two par­ties are concerned. One pleaded guilty: and the other is held up for trial a t the next term of the circuit court. Bro S1<k cum of the Advertiser should be put on the retired list and given a good fat pen­sion for his nerve | to tackle the business and sticking to it until he won.

Don’t miss “O ur. Country Cousin” next Wednesday night, Sept, o, at village ha’l.

U n ’ o n S e r v i c e .

In the Presbyterian church last Sunday night the W. C. T. U. had the direction of the union services, and one of its de­partments, # “Social Purity and Mother’s W ork” was the subject presented. The pastor of th e Church presided and con­ducted the exercises of reading and pray­er, after which a varied program of m u­sic, recitations and addresses followed. There was a welcome song by a bevy of little girls, and recitations by Zaida Briggs, Ejlsie Eddy, Zaida P inck­ney, Eva Adams and W arren Lombard. Besides the music of choir and congrega­tion, there were two excellent solos by Clarence Stevens, ‘‘The Beautiful City,” and “The bird with the broken wing.” Miss Carrie Brown and Anna Baker sang most tenderly and touchingly a duett, “The man of Galilee”. This was all the more effective as it was sung without the aid of the organ.

Revs. Huntington and Clark made most earnest and practical addresses on “Social Purify” , and another on “Mothers W ork” was to havejieen made, but deciding the program was sufficiently long the chair­man omitted it. As usual the church was filled and the service a beautiful and in­teresting one.

M otives o f Aotion.In the feudal ages when new enterprise

was contemplated, the vital question which ihe projectors asked themselves was? “9$p we copqupr?” ;\pd under what­ever guise they sought to hide their real purpose,that of obtaining spoils and glory, no real consideration of ttye rights of oth­ers was for a moment thought of. To kill, ravage and plunder and afterward vaunt their valor and revel in the fruits of their conquests w'as the heigth of their ambition.

In this age when business enterprise is contem plated the vital question the pro­jectors ask themselves is, “will it pay ?” and as in the feudal ages no question of human right is taken into account, and success is considered a full justification of the means and methods employed. It matters, not how many have been driven to starvation, suicide, poverty or crime how much honor and virtue may have been sacrificed or purchased, or how great the num ber who have been directly or in­directly distressd, the accumulation of great wealth by one or a few blots out the whole record of wrong which has been tributary to the final success. We have been led to believe tha t feudal practices were crude and brutal, and when stripped of the halo of romance th a t has been thrown about them, they were only m urders and robberies whi e modern methods were civilized and refin­ed, but when »ve divest them of their daz­zle and glamour anil see them as they are, a doubt creeps in as to which of the two methods is the most humane and whether it is most cruel sis in feudal times to .“kill the goose that lays the golden egg”, thus putting it past all misery, or as in modern times to take away th ^eg g . pluck out the feathers and tu rn it out into the cold to shift for itself as best it may.

The difference between the feudal ages and this, is that the battle axe and sword have been supplanted by th e machine, the plotting brain has become more acute and active and force has rgiven way to cunning which passes under the various names of business ability, foresight, tact, shrewdness, dipfbmaCy etc., but in the last analysis it is only cunning, nothing more. Y’ast progress has been made from semi-barbaric. times in science, invention, knowledge and refinement, but we still re tain the spoils system of economics anti our most successful ways for acquiring wealth, is simply feudalism With modern improvements.

Our advance in this direction has not kept pace with our progress in other ways and we find our motives and results have not materially changed, henceowe are out pf ̂ balance and “the times p e out of jo in t”.

The responsibility for this does not rest with one man or class of men, and most of those who are not millionaire would be if their abilities and opportunities per

mitted them to become such.There is no lifnit to the accumulation

the average man would have, could he get all he wants, and the only reason why spnlight and a ir has not been monopoliz­ed and sold by metre measurement is that no process has been discovered for doing so, therefore it is hypocritical for “The pot to call the kettle black” , or for one Class of hum anity to vilify another, and it is well to recognize the ftyjt that pres­ent conditions arei the natural outgrowth of circumstances beyond the control of any class alone and is in a great degree an inheritance to the present age, the; e f­fects of which is being more and more keenly realized from modern progress. I t is hum an epature for those who are wealthy and prosperous to strive by every means within their power to retain their relative position, bu t science, steam, electricity and printing has brought the masses nearer to each other and a broad­er idea of the interdependent relation of man to man is taking root, a new ethic, with the world for hum anity as its motive and “is it r igh t” as the vital question of enterprise. For the first tim e in history the spoils system of feudalism is in jreal danger, and through the rifts in the storm clouds a new day is dawning, a new’ era of progress and happiness foy man, a new promise of emancipation from slavery in the grand equitable and hum anitarian philosophy of socialism.
