"a CRISIS IN un,oN;sM?.

Mr.. Henry White refers, in an ar
ticle in the May number of The North
American Review, is the situation
which he terms 1.-THE Crisis in In
ionism," which he says has followed
the exposure of the political weakness
of tradesunions, when their efforts to
affect materially the results of the late
presidential election proved futile. A
reimbursement of the unions to the COM
munity has become necessary, and Mr.
White expresses the hope that past
experience will DE turned to account
to put the unions in harmony with
the conditions of social welfare. He
says:
"The political effacement of organ
weakened it industrially more than at
first appears. The fear of the political
influence of the union secured for it
many legislative concessions and also
control of administrative positions in
the departrn ems of federal, state and
municipal government One of the re-
suits was the unionizing Of consid-
cradle proportion of government work
During the past year the open-shop
movement reached its climax Trades
which were union strongholds are
now open The hating industry
which by reason of the general use of
the union label was thought to be i'm
pregnable to the employers movement
Is the latest to succumb. The fatters
union, tho it received the concentrated
support Of the entire union influence
was disastrously beaten. In the shoe
and clothing trades the union labe
has been largely discarded. With a
view to counteracting this rapid de-
cline in the use of the label. the Am
erican federation has recently planned
an extensive campaign thru separate
bureau"

the REPUBLICAN DANG R LINE.

The Cedar Rapids Republican IS
hcan party. Delivers new alignment
and the shock of insurrection that act
ually insurrects has dazed the Cedar
Rapids paper and set it trembling for
the future.
There is no occasion for worry ex
cept over the possible success of the
A1drich cotere in it's effort to repudi-
ate the pledges made TO the country
in the last campaign. 1t is all simply
q question of keeping faith. A fair or
even approximately fair revision of the
tariff, a fairly honest and equitable
scaling down instead of up the rates
and schedules Which are generally con-
who directly absorb the rake off and
the party is safe. Not only safe, but
with its plain pledge kept in the spirit
1t is invincible. If promises are to be
broken and tariff bent to the benefit of
special interests there is danger-and
ought to be danger. The danger to the
party lies in the demands of the inter-
ests and the bold bourbonism of their
representatives in the house and the
senate
The defeats of the republican party
have always been penal in their nature
They have come as result of dissatis-
faction with the party much more than
by reason of confidence in any other
party. 1t is not improbable and scarce
ly unlikely that continued czarship by
such as Cannon and Aldrich and the
successful insistence of the few to be
specially cared for and coddled would
bring defeat. The best way to avoid
disaster is to stop bidding for it: to be
honest with the country and redeem
the prediction pledge that is the es-
sence of the contract between the yo.-
ers and the republican party.
President Taft is directly interested
in the legislation now in progress. His
word is out to the people, his word and
the word of the party. The MISSISSIPPI
pi valley forced his nomination and
furnished the votes to elect him 1t
is watching him expectantly and con-
fidently.

1T ISN'T RHE POLICEMAN.

One good way to end violations of
liquor laws in mulct cities is to make
1t the duty of every policeman to re-
port to his chief any suspected VIOLA
tons of the laws. If that is made the
duty of every policeman on his own
beat, there will soon be an end of such
violations. Heretofore city policemen
have gone on the theory that the en-
forcement of the liquor laws was
something that did not concern them.
They have regarded it as county and
state business. But is it not the duty
of an officer to see that all laws are
enforced?-Cedar Rapids Republican.
The Republican hasn't gone high
enough. The average policeman is TO be
fairly we'll trusted to report law viola
to hear of them. The difficulty in the
Republicans plan does not lie with the
policeman.
And going farther 1t doesn't lie with
the chief of police in most cities of
Iowa size. The chief is simply the right
hand of the mayor He does what the
mayor would do, follows the mayors
policy, exists at the mayors pleas
ure. His acts are the orders or the
wishes of the man who makes him. He
can obey them or get out and give way
to some one who will do as he is
told.
1t is all up to the mayor who is the
police in Iowa cities. If he has friends
to protect, the policeman might report
until the cows came home with no re-
suit expect to find himself back at his
trade when he got too insistent. 1t
isn't up to the policeman. 1t isn't ur
to the chief of police. It's up to the
mayors

Raise The Crop.

When a man is growing a crop that
simply pays the cost, he might just as
we'll be working out. 1t Is the better
crops that make the money for the
farmer. When a farmer grows only
100 bushels of potatoes here in the
northwest and takes the ordinary price
of thirty to thirty-five cents a bushel,
he is simply paying expenses when he
takes into consideration the rental
value of his land the labor expended
in blowing disking, narrowing, plant
ing, cultivating, the value of the seed
used and, added to this, the value of
labor in digging, marketing, etc. If
these items of labor and other things
are counted you will find that they will
fully cover the $50 or s35, that is us
ually received for the average 100 bush
ell crop.
What is true with the potato crop
is also true with other crops. The
ordinary 35-bushel corn crop only pays
expenses the same as the $40 wheat
crop, OR the COW that only yields an in
come of $50 or $50 a year. No, let me
again say, average crops, whether it
be corn, wheat, oats, potatoes or any
thing else, or average COWS, given ord
mary care, are not money makers.
When we grew the average crops We
are doing just the way every one else
is doing-we are then in competition
with the whole world and consequently
there is no money in the business.

Must DO Their Duty.

The new law passed this winter in
regards to sheriffs and county at
torneys will be received with Joy by
all Iowa. Heretofore when the boys
got out Saturday night raising high
jinks openly and flagrantly. peace
officers when reminded that they
were elected to enforce the laws,
have drawn themselves up in virtu-
Gus indignation and told us to ''file
an information and he would make
the arrest" The result would be to
set bowling pack at the heels of the
informant. The officer accepts the
position. draws the salary, and takes
an oath to enforce law and maintain
peace. He. ought to do it, that's
what he is paid for. Hereafter he
will do it in this county or get out of
the way and make place for someone
who will. And the officer who looks
for loopholes to escape from doing
his duty will find one that will let
him through without a return ticket.
That is good law.--Britt Tribune.

MEMORIAL DAY PROCLAMATION.
Gov. Carroll Recommends Observance
on Monday, May 31st.

BY legislative enactment as well as
by national custom, beginning in
1886 when General John A. Logan.
then commander-in-chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, pro-
mulgated an order calling upon all
veterans to observe the 30th of May
as Memorial day, that date has been
set apart in memory of the loyal pa
triots who have participated in the
wars of the republic and by valiant
deeds perpetuated in our government
its bulwarks of freedom and equality.
In keeping with such patriotic
custom our state has determined by
legislative acts that May 80 of each
year shall be 80 observed, but
Whereas, the 30th of May, this
year, occurs on Sunday and the
Grand Army of the Republic through
general orders issued by it's COM
mander-in-chief has designated that
the day following will be observed as
Memorial day;
Now, therefore, l, B. F. Carroll,
governor of the state of Iowa, do
earnestly recommend that all of the
people of Iowa in so far as they are
able do join with the veterans of the
civil war in observance of Monday
the thirty-first day of May, as a day
to be devoted to a solemn memorial
for the nations heroic dead.

letters Of the alphabet except the let
ter j. The finest chapter to read is
the 26th chapter of the Acts of the
Apostles. The 10th chapter of H..
King and the 37th chapter of Isaiah
are alike. The longest verse is the

Worlds Fair i'm Boston.

A copy of the Boston Herald comes
to our table, making the announce
ment that the city of Boston is TO
celebrate the three hundredth ami
yersary of the landing of the Pill
grims at Plymouth, in 1920. The
early announcement is made so that
the world will give way to Boston at
that time in this matter. and so that
ample time will be given for proper
preparation for such great event.
These Pilgrims sailed August 10,
1920, from Southampton, England,
on the Speedwell and the Mayfower.
A storm was encountered and the
Speedwell turned into Dartmouth
harbor The Mayflower sailed alone
September 16. She was a sailing
vessel of only 1SO tons and the Pill
102 souls, 73 males and 20 females.
Only 81 were full grown men. There
were 20 boys and eight girls. The
voyage was stormy and occupied 81
days. double the time then required
for the average passage to the Vir-
ginia colonies. No less than 81 of
the colopists died within thirty days
after landing. The French were in
Nova Scotia and the Virginia colon
lists. 500 miles away, were the near
est neighbors to the south.

We believe that the enactments of
the recent legislature will have a
greater effect upon the liquor traffic
In Iowa than anything which has
happened since the passage of the
Mulct law. The law which provides
that in process of time there will be
but one saloon for every 1000 peo-
pie is a splendid one. The first to
be weeded out are the ones which
change ownership or location. or
which are convicted of violation of
the law. The result Is that 1t holds
out the strongest possible induce
ment for saloon keepers to obey the
law absolutely and implicitly, both in
letter and in spirit. The person who
does this will survive. while the other
fellow will lose out. This Is the con-
summation desired by majority of
the people, and we believe 1t Is the
proper present solution of the ques-
ton.
