DEFINITION OF "SCAB."
If You Want to Know It, Here It Is
For You.
At a conspiracy trial held in Eng
land, the presenting counsel save the
following definition of a scab: "A
scab is to his trade -what a traitor is
to his country, and, although both
may be useful in troublesome times,
they are detested by all when peace
returns; so when help is needed the
scab is the last to contribute assist
ance and the first to grasp the benefit
he never labored to secure. Ue cares
only for himself; he sees not beyond
the extent of a day and for a mone
tary approbation he would betray
friends, family and country; in short,
he first sells the journeyman, and is
himself afterward sold in turn by his
employer. unUl. at last, he is despised
by both and deserted by all."

NO APOLOGIES TO MAKE.
The editor of The 'Wageworker is in
receipt of several protests verbal and
written against its publication of
Rev. Mr. Stelxle's letters dealing with
various phases of the liquor question.
The Wageworker has no apologies
to make for the appearance of Rev.
Mr. Stelxle"s letters. Those letters
are written by a union man. They deal
with a question of much more than
passing concern. We have not always
agreed with Rev. Mr. Stelzle. For the
matter of that we have at one time
or another disagreed with about every
body we ever came into contact with.
Often times we have disagreed with
ourselves, after taking the second
thought. But Rev. Mr. Stelxle has a
faculty for getting at the heart of
every subject he tackles. He writes
from the standpoint of a man who has
played the union game fairly and
squarely. He discusses a question that
affects the American workingman as
perhaps no other question affects him,
and he discusses it without rancor,
without malice, without fanaticism.
If there happens to be among those
who have protested against Rev. Mr.
Stelzle's letters one who desires to
undertake the task of defending the
American saloon, he is welcome to as
much space in The Wageworker as our I
reverend friend uses. There are but
two or three limitations upon this of
fer. The writer must be a union
man. He must be courteous in his
language, and he must be brief and
fair.
The editor of The Wageworker is
not a prohibitionist in the sense that
he would make the matter a political
! question. If it is a political question
I then it is not a religious question. If
it is a moral question it has no place
I in politics. A legislative enactment
! and a sheriff's writ are not needed to
bolster up the cause of the Carpenter
of Xazareth. As long as the American
people handled the temperance ques-
I tion along "reformed-drunkard-lecture"
lines the movement made no perman
ent advance. When we began treating
it as an economic question we began
moving forward. The Wageworker
here andnow wants to make its po
sition known. It never has, does not
now, nor never will, try to defend the
saloon as a business institution. It
has no defense. It has no patience
with the personal liberty plea that
many people so loudly put forth. Per
sonal liberty ends right where so
ciety's rights begin. The Wagework
er wants to help along towards the
end when this republic will see the
total elimination of the liquor trafffic
But it does not believe the end can
be attained merely by the enactment
of law. Education, experience, and
the leaven of the gospel of the Naz
arene Will furnish the ultimata solu
tion. In this work of education The
Wageworker wants to have a part.
That is why it gladly publishes Rev.
Charles Stelzle's letters and that
is why it will just as gladly publish
the letters of any union man who de
sires to take issue with our clerical
friend.

GIVE HIM A CHANCE.
We know that he doesn't deserve
it we've all been there ourselves.
That's why we . know just how low-
down mean a thing it is that he's
dene. But, strange to say, the experi
ence doesn t seem to give us very
much sympathy for the other fellow.
True, the meanness in. ourselves may
not have shown itself in precisely the
same way that it cropped out in the
other chap; but it's the same brand
of meanness, having its origin in the
same streak of cussedness which
seems to run through the human race.
Just how often and how much we
should forgive is a question which has
puzzled many a philosopher, and
good many more self-appointed judges.
There are plenty of men who would
enjoy- serving in the capacity of the
Lord"s high executioners they hate
the sinner so much! But the Lord
doesn't hate the sinner He hates sin.
These would-be executors have gotten
the thing twisted around. As a mat
ter of fact, we are punished not so
much for our sin as by our sin. Few
of us need to wait until the hereafter

to get what's "coming to us we re
getting it right along, in good big
doses. Perhaps the devil thinks that
he'll miss out on getting some of us
in the end, so he's giving ns here and
now some of the punishment that we
deserve. According to the rules of
the game, most of us deserve all that
we are getting and a whole lot more,
and its altogether likely that in the
great tribunal we'll find that no guilty
man will escape excepting as the
Judge deals with us in mercy.
But we won't discuss the embarrass
ing question as to what we, ourselves,
shall be compelled to face when all
things will be made plain that's a
matter between ourselves and God
what I want to think about for myself
and what every one of us should think
about Is the question as to how much
we are ready, in view of our own
shortcomings, to forgive in others.
One day Peter big-hearted, stum
bling, impetuous disciple that he was
-asked Jesus how often men should
forgive sin in others, and, as if to
make the number large, he attempted
to answer his own question by asking
further: "Seven times?"
"Xo, not seven times," replied Jesus,
hut seventy times seven," meaning.
of course, that there should be no
limit to the number of times that for
giveness should be granted.
Now, here's the point if Christ,
who is sinless, is ready to forgive sin.
how much more should we who are
full of sin be ready to pardon our
fellow-sinners?
Xext time that you are tempted to
pitch into some other man for a
peculiar sin or shortcoming, ask your
self if it isn't true that you are down
on that sin because it has shown its
head so often in your own life, and
if you've conquered it, be glad and
help the other man to conquer it-
Give him another chance remember
ing that if you had been thrown down
and out for good and all when you
fell short, you'd be a long way from
your ideal, which seems so near. It
may not be much of an ideal. No
doubt you should have aimed higher,
because it didn't cost you much of a
struggle to reach it, but who knows
how hard the other sinner fought to
win out, and how through tears and
heartache he actually conquered where
you, put to the same test, would have
miserably failed. .
NEW YORK JANITORS ORGANIZE.
A movement has started in Xew
York to organize the 100,000 janitors,
porters and window washers in that
city. A union has already been
formed. And to prove these unknown
workers are progressive and up-to-
date, they launched their official news
paper, the Janitors Magazine, at the
same time. It is eight pages and can
give points to many older journals of
a like character.
MOTHER'S WAGES.
"Mother gets up first," said the
new office boy. "She lights the fire
and gets my breakfast so I can get
here early. Then she gets father up,
gets his breakfast, and sends him off.
Then she an the baby have their
breakfast-" "What is your pay hereT
"I get $3 a week and father gets Z
a day." "How much does your mother
get?" "Mother!" he said indignantly,
"why, she don't have to work for any
body." "Oh! I thought yon Jaat told
me she worked for the whole family
every morning." "Oh! that's for ns
but there ain't no money in that."
