pears to think no apology necessary,
nor do we. When Labor day was
established it probably. was thought
advisable to issue proclamations call
ing attention to it. That advisability
does not seem to longer exist for every
body knows the date of the holiday. OF
course. this need not deter the New
Age and presumably by next week it
will discover that the Governor did not
issue a Fourth of July proclamation
Labor day is of the same class as is
our glorious national holiday, the date
of which is the same all over the coun-
try. 1t differs from Arbor day, for
illustration, in that the Governor is re-
CURED to fix the date of that holiday
by proclamation. Governor Powers
may have thought a Labor day proc
lamation superfluous. as it really is.
and. as most people know, he is not III
clncd TO indulge in superfiuities. This
may be shocking to the sensibilities of
the New Age. but really we do not
think il will seriously disturb anyone
else One thing is certain, Governor
Powers took occasion to proclaim his
views on the subject of Labor day and
its significance in more frank, eS-
plicit and influential manner than
would have been possible in a per-
functory proclamation.

The Cant Of Criticism,

1t is evident that the New Age has
been fioundering about for some time
in search of a text for a partisan
homily. This has been an exceedingly
poor year for Popocratic texts, conse-
quently it may be possible to under
stand why the editor of the New Age
grasped with such evident desperation
at straw, Selling upon the fact that
Governor Powers did not issue a Labor
day proclamation. Now we have not
been informed why the Governor did
not do this but as there was no par
ticular reason why such a proclama-
ton should be necessary on Labor day
any more than on Christmas, we do
not care to run the risk of criticising

preciate to the extent of being willing
to accept because of his refusal
to perform the duties of the
office. Last week the municipal

committal to Jail. Rather than submit
to durance vile it is said he will pay the
costs, though he claims that he shall
appeal the case. To the ordinary
mind it would seem as if the Deerinc

worked when it has time for what
seems so much in the nature of a prac-
teal joke carried to the extreme.
