ing days have been spent in a news
paper office where I came in close
contact with printers, all union men.
Without exception I always found
these union men to be gentlemen of
clearly fair. and with but one excep-
ton always found that they gave an
honest days work. This one excep-
ton was an incompetent fellow, whom
the other printers at first tried to
help, but when they realized his inef-
ficiency they suggested his discharge.

assured that all union men were as
faithful and competent, and as easy
to handle as union printers, would
employ none but union labor"

indiana Cities Will Adopt.
This form of government in cities
is an advance over any yet tried. It is
rightly growing in the favor of the
people, and the cities Of Indiana will
some day adopt 1t. But it will not be
adopted without fight Petty poll
ticians and certain business interests
which have profited under the present
system of municipal government will
oppose change. But commission
government is right in principle. it
places the reins Of control nearer to
the hands of the people than they
have ever been and for that reason
the people, as soon as they fully ap-
preciate the situation will demand a
change.
This is one of Rchmond's labor
problems. Commission government
would mean less officials and more
efficiency. 1t would mean a consequent
lowering OF the tax rate. and it would
be particularly desirable should the
city take over the water works and
gas plants as many think 1t should do.

Hundreds or Them Roost on the Gables

One Of the city's largest focks OF
pigeons makes its roost on the gables and
lodges Of st. Pauls Roman Catholic
Church, Columbus avenue and Sixtieth
street. When they come back as twilight
approaches and settle down for the night
they occupy every available inch Of space.
Long lines of them stretch along the
lodges Of the building.
1t is a number Of years since the
first pigeon appeared to make its home
on the lodges Of the old church. The
building offered a fine place for u roost
and each year the number OF pigeons
kept increasing. The Paulist Fathers
have never molested the birds. The
question that has always puzzled the
priests is where the birds manage to get
food enough to sustain themselves. They
do not congregate in the streets OF the
neighborhood. Only once in q while a
couple Of the pigeons AZ down from their
rocst and gather up stray oats that have
fallen from the feed bags of horses
Most Of the birds apparently go some
distance to get their food, but they always
return at night about the usual time.
