The New Spirit In America.
President Woodrow Wilson in
World’s Work: What I am in
terested in is having the Govern
ment of the United States more
concerned about human rights
than about property rights.
Property is an instrument of hu
manity ; humanity isn’t an in
strument of property. And yet
when you see some men riding
their great industries as if they
were driving a car of jugger
naut, not looking to see what
multitudes prostrate themselves
before the car and lose their
fore it is fit to be spent. The
| hope and elasticity of the race
must be preserved; men must
be preserved according to their
individual needs, and not accord
! ing to the programs of industry
merely. What is the use of hav
' ing industry if we perish in pro
ducing it ? If we die in trying to
feed ourselves, why should we
eat? If we die trying to get a
foothold in the crowd, why not
let the crowd trample us sooner
and be done with it? I tell you
! there is beginning to beat in this
Nation a great pulse of irresist
I ible sympathy which is going to
| transform the process of govern
ment among us. The strength
of America is proportioned only
to the health, the energy, the
hope, the elasticity, the buoyan
cy of the American people.

lives in tne crusning effort to
their industry, you wonder how
long men are going to be per
mitted to think more of their
machinery than they think of
their men. Did you ever think
of it? —men are cheap, and ma
chinery is dear; many a super
intendent is dismissed for over
driving a delicate machine, who
wouldn’t be dismissed for over
driving an overtaxed man. You
can discard your man and re
place him; there are others
ready to come into his place;
but you can’t without great cost
discard your machine and pul a
new one in its place. You are
apt, therefore to look upon your
men as the essential vital foun
dation part of your whole busi
ness. It is time that property,
as compared with humanity,
should take second place, not
l first place. We must see to it
' that there is no overcrowding,
that there is no bad sanitation,
that there is no unnecessary
spread of avoidable diseases,
that the purity of food is safe
guarded. that there is every pre
caution against accident, that
women are not driven to impos
sible tasks, nor are children per
mitted to spend their energy be

: W AS KIND TO W AR PRISONERS, j
; Last Monday the Stars and Bars and ■
I the Stars and Stripes floated along- |
1 side of each other on the dome of the
! state capitol.of Indiana when a bronze j
I bust of Col. P.ichard Dale Owen, com
| rnander of a regiment of Indiana soi- ,
I diers during the war between the !
j states, was unveiled. The bust was s
, the gift of Confederate soldiers and j
1 other Southern people, and cost about ;
j three thousand dollars. The present
ation speech was made by Gen. Ben- \
nett H. Young, commander-in-chief of
the Confederate Veterans, and the
speech of acceptance on the part of
the state of Indiana, by Thomas R.
Marshal , vice-president of the Unit
ed States. In the vast audience which
witnessed the ceremonies were rep
resentatives of both the United Con
r* _i. . At'
icuciavt » vvv/iMiic ---
my of The Republic.
The idea which led to this tribute
to the memory of Colonel Owen orig
inated with Col. S. A. Cunningham, ed
itor of the Confederate Veteran. Col
onel Owen was commandant of Camp
Morton, a noted prison for the con
finement of Confederate prisoners, in
1862 and Colonel Cunningham, then a
prisoner, was one of those under his
charge. While Colone Owen was in
command of Camp Morton he was dil
ligent in all that he could do to ame
liorate the privations of prisoners un
1 der his authority. Indeed, he was so
1 considerate that Edwin M. Stanton,
I the implacable federal secretary of
war, finally relieved him from com
mand of the prison and sent him to ;
the front, replacing him with a man
! in whom the humanities were of neg- (
I lible quality and quantity. But the
I Confederates who were in Camp Mor- ;
I ton while Colonel Owen was ir. charge !
I never forgot his kindness —Fort
