True oil progress comes from desire tor some-

Trade untonism will not cease when conditions
are improved On the contrary, the higher wages
become and the more humane and reasonable the
conditions of work. the greater will become the
need Of trade unions and the clearer their justi
<6cation. Evensif oppression were banshed the
need for organization would be the same:-Johu

and this mean in its broadcast application, is that
progress which has come through the working
classes 1t is the working people, and they only
who are sufficiently dscontented with the condi-
tons that surround them to make decided,
tinuous and sane effort for progress.-John Len

The cry, "down with the unions!" is as old as
it is idiotic. Sane men will perceive the wisdom

The union is the greatest Of existing forces in

the barriers of race, nationality. language and

schools. nor politics. employers, do this

That organized labor has succeeded IN benefit
ing it's members cannot be denied, especially
where it has been inspired by lofty principles Of
right and justice. To organize simply to be

true spirit which should animate those directly
associated with the movement-Frank P. Sar-
gent. Commissioner of Immigration
We Of the labor movement are sorely apt to
lack sense of proportion. We magnify trifles and
minimize verities We wear down in our grooves
deeply that it is hard for US to even peep over

breeds a further weakness in acts. The real

DANGER TO LOCAL MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

- PIGMENTS of municipal ownership seldom
lose opportunity to give it knock,
~ whenever some occurs in the
management of municipal plant.
For instance, not long ago the fact that water
taken from the storage reservoir at 18th
avenue east for a short time during break in
the main east of this point-this water having
laid in the reservoir for some time-called for a
general public protest.
No sensible person will take exception, to the
protest, because it one of the blessings of NUM-
cpal ownership. It counts for something when
the people protest against supposed wrong I'M
der public ownership. The wrong is immed-
lately remedied. But the uncalled for charges
that it is an example of the failure OF public ow
nership do not go down without protest
We can plainly remember the terrible example
of mismanagement, and the public-be-damned
policy of the old private gas and water company.
No advocate Of municipal ownership expected
that publicly owned plant would be perfectly
managed from the beginning But we all know
that it would be much easier to secure recogni-
ton in the of public protest.
So far the city light and water plant has been
a success. This too in spite of some mighty OBJ
stacles.
In the first place the city paid too much money
for the private plant In the next it expended
money lavsh1y for the building of tho mains and
pumping station east Of 18th ave east Steel
pipes laid here, and their life under ground
is limited to but few years.
We times fear great calamity to our
water plant should the steel mains play out in
the next ten years. To replace them will cost a
large amount of money, which will have TO- :be
raised by increasing the bonded Indebtedness. %
Some private interests in town are reputed to be
aware of this fact and are laying their plans &C
heinR ia
folly to vote more bonds; that the city is
over bonded and that their taxes being
greatly increased by our increased bonded indebt-
edness.
