The New Spirit In America.
4 President Woodrow Wilson in
World’s Work: What I am in
■ lip-rested in is having the Govern
Mraent of the United States more
concerned about human l ights
tiftan 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
inves in the crushing effort to
their industry, you wonder how
Jong 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
s&riving a delicate machine, who
wouldn’t be dismissed for over
driving an overtaxed man. You
jan discard your man and re
place him; there are others
wady to come into his place;
font you can’t without great cost
discard your machine and put 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
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
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
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.

WAS KIND TO WAR PRISONERS.
Last Monday the Stars and Bars ar.d
the Stars and Stripes floated along
side of each other on the dome of the
state capitol of Indiana when a bronze
bust of Col. Richard Dale Owen, com
mander of a regiment of Indiana sot- j
diers during the war between tne!
states, was unveiled. The bust was ;
the gift of Confederate soldiers and
other Southern people, and cost about
three thousand dollars. The present- i
ation speech was made by Gen. .Ben- J
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-pz-esiaent of the Unit
ed States. In the vast audience which |
witnessed the ceremonies _ were rep
resentatives of both the United Con
federate Veterans and the Grand Ar
mv 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- i
onel Owen was commandant of Camp ;
Morton, a noted prison for the con- j
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
der his authority. Indeed, he was so
considerate that Edwin M. Stanton,
the implacable federal secretary of i
war, finally relieved him from com- j
mand of the prison and sent him to
the front, replacing him with a man
in whom the humanities were of r.eg
lible quality and quantity. But the
Confederates who were ir. Camp Mor- j
ton while Colonel Owen was in charge j
never forgot his kindness. —Fort,
