BISHOP BRANDS MEN
WHO FAIL TO VOTE AS
"C0WARDLY SKULKERS"

CHICAGO, Nov. s,-"The man who
does not vote is a criminal, a slxuiker
and a coward"
Thus declared Bishop Samuel Failows
yesterday in st. PauPs Reformed EpiscO-
pal church in his sermon prelude. HIS
topic was "The Citizens Duty at Elec-
tion."
Disfranchisement of the man who has
the power to vote and fails to execute 1t
was suggested by the divine as remedy
for the apathy on the part of the voter.
"The pulpits of the land ought to
ring out the strongest utterances on the
high crime of not voting. 1t would be
"a drastic measure which doubtless would
not carry, to disfranchise the man who
had the power to vote and deliberately
refused to exercise 1t.
'The voter is a soldier of the repub-
lic Its affairs cannot be carried on
without his aid any more than the con-
duet of an army without the soldiers
loyal response to the word of command.
And he is a skullzer and coward in
the civil ranks of life who does not
vote, as the soldier is who hides or.
shows the white feather in time Of an
engagement"

instance known here where pack
age of cigarette 9e.per saved a life
occurred last Ingnt when Clyde
Younger, a young man employed
by a grocery house, was attacked by
a burglar in the rear of his employ

cred the would-be robber behind a salt
barrel. The man attacked Younger
with a long knife. A murderous thrust
cut its way .through-the coat, vest and
a book of cigarette papers and in

podses the Cannon Issue

Mr. McLachlan, when he is asked by
his Republican friends to indicate his
stand on Joe Cannon, lodges behind a
law of California which reads that no
candidate shall pledge himself to vote
for any "bill or measure pending in
any legislative body to which he may
be elected" and says it would be a
crime for him to say whether he will
vote for Cannon or not.
Mr.. McLachlan knows that he will
vote and work for the election of Joe
Cannon as speaker of the house, be-
cause he is identified with the political
interests which desire Cannon in the
chair of the house. And he also knows
that Cannon is neither a bill nor a
measure, and that the California law
does not apply to him, anyway.
Jud Rush, the Democratic candidate
for congress, has pledged himself to
not only vote and work against Can
non for speaker, but he has said that
if the house has Republican majority
and he finds that by joining with the
good Republicans of the house on this
issue he can help toward defeating
Cannon, he will gladly do so. He places
the issue above party to that extent,
and he is being loudly praised, both by
Democrats and Republicans, for SO
doing.
Macs FugIeman to the Rescue
A special attack having been made
on Mr.. Rush by one of Mr.. McLach-
lan's official fuglemen, we append the
following:

M'LACHLANS WEAK SPOTS"


ne never eApecLeu 10 pass anu
never tried to have passed. in order
to pad his record. And not only this,
but Mr.. McLachlan has made it a prac-
tfce to mail to all veterans who have
secured pensions through the pension
bureau, WITHOUT HIS AID, OR
EVEN HIS KNOWLEDGE, a letter
congratulating them on the successful
termination of their efforts, and asking
if there was anything FURTHER he
could do for them. Thus we learn that
Mr.. McLachlan has, in his eagerness to
get votes, taken the old soldiers for
fools.
Aided Only the Monopoly interests
A careful search of the Congressional
Record reveals also that on the mat
ter of voting on important measures,
affecting not only the Seventh district.
but the whole country, Mr.. McLachlan
was very backward or Indifferent. No
measure was important or interesting
enough to secure Mr.. McLachlan's at
tendance and vote unless it in some
way subserved the interests of the
transportation monopoly. Almost the
only deviation from this rule was the
measure raising the salaries of con-
gressmen FROM $4,000 A YEAR TO
$500. Mr. McLachlan found time to
appear in the house and VOTE IN
FAVOR OF THIS POPULAR MEAS
URE.
However, it appears that the people
of the Seventh congressional district
have for ten years been electing a con-
- f,,f
but the interests of the transportation
monopoly-the Southern Pacific Rail-
way company and other corporations
of its kind.
Neglected His One Opportunity
At one time during the first session
of the Sixtieth congress there was an
opportunity for Mr.. McLachlan to re-
deem his record to some extent. A
joint bill in regard to establishing har
bor lines in the east basin at San Pedro
had been presented, and was about to
pass, with a clause contained in it
reading that the war department
should not establish such lines until
they had met with the approval of the
claimants to the tide lands in the east
basin. The claimants of the tide lands
are the Southern Pacific and Salt Lake
railroad interests, and therefore these
two interests would have been able,
had this bill passed in that form, to tie
up the improvements now under way
at San Pedro indefinitely.
Perhaps it was merely a happening,
but the fact remains that Mr.. McLach-
Ian was asleep at the switch when this
bill was presented in the house, and
had not the chamber of commerce of
Los Angeles-which evidently has no
confidence in Mr.. McLachlan-had in
its employ a special representative in
washington who informed it of the
dangerous state of affairs in time, the
bill, with the iniquitous clause still in
it, would have become law, and free
harbor for Los Angeles WOULD FOR
EVER HAVE BECOME AN IMPoS-
SIBILIPY.
And even after the chamber of COM
merce had become aware of the situa-
tion, Mr.. McLachlan was not to be
found, and one of the members of the
house from a far eastern state had to
be induced to perform the service on
the floor of the house required to have
the obnoxious clause eliminated from
the bill.

every corporation could well afford TO

giving preference in repayment at
ccst as a first charge in case of dis
aster, just as present laws provide

homestead exemption. This Is due to
the workingman who necessarily buys
the shares without. knowledge. and rs
asked to buy them, not solely for mis-
own advantage. but for the benefit of
the company as well---tae advantage Of
both"
The Writer points out that 'just as
the mechanical world has changed
and improved. so the world Of labor
has advanced from the slavery of the
laborer TO tae day of his absolute in
dependence and now to this day. when

are equally foolhardy. Neither knows;
therefore neither should presume to

Their day, for future they can know
nothing of.
The writer however. believes one
point to be clear, viz, that the next
step toward improved labor condi-
tions is through the stage OF share
hold ng in the Industrial world, the
workman becoming joint owner in the
profits Of his labor. Payment to
slaves and serfs, by providing saelter
aud food and clothing for them, then
by orders upon the stores for articles,
up to payment by cash to independent
wcrkmen today. each great step for
ward, have all been tried, and now
the coming day dawns when payment
is to be made wholly or in part by
profit-sharing, the workman having
the status of the share-owning Official
and a voice in management as JOINT
owner. He will be guaranteed min
imum wage, when finally paid by
profits entirely to keep his mind easy
and free for mis- work, the proper sup
pert of himself and his family being
thus insured
