Ing ways entered into, a conversation
upon the impending labor troubles,
and after the preltminaries of an In
formal discussion had passed, they
entered into the discussion with zeal
and a determination that each was
right and the other wrong.
One was an ardent believer in the
Trade Union movement, while the
other having no utilization with it,
took the stand that all workers had
the same right regardless of whether
he was or was not member of a
union. r.
Unionist- There seems to be trouble
brewing on the lakes this spring.
Non Uninoist-Yes, and their de-
mands are as believe unjust.
Unfonist-Can you give logical rea-
sons for making such an assertion?
Non Uninoist-Why certainly What
claim have they? What have they
done that they should consider they
have that right?
Unionist-Do you believe that what
the members of the working class
gained in betterment of conditions and
higher wages has come through the
good will of the employers, or because
they had any humanitarian feeling, or
because they have been forced to
give what they have given by the
powed welded yrthe union?
Non Unionist-Well, of course there
is some truth IN that. The unions
have done much towards uplifting the
workers, but they have done much
harm also; they have denied up who
do not belong to the movement the
right to work after they have left
their jobs, and for that reason have
denied us the right of life, liberty and

NOT AGAINST TOPEKA.
Commission Men Are. Still For the
Capitol City.

An article in the State Journal last
evening stated through an interview
with City License Collector Mattingly
that the commission men of the city
We're on the verge of abandoning their
delivery wagons and turning their
horses out to pasture. They threaten
ed to stop all operations of an active
sort in Topeka" he said.
Samuel E Lux, president of the COM
mission mems organized body, stated
TO a State Journal reporter this morn
ing that the statement is untrue. He
said that the commission men have no
such intentions and they will conduct
business in Topeka along larger lines
than ever He admitted that they were
disappointed with the ordinance re-
curing them to take out licenses in or
der to deliver supplies to hotels and
boarding houses but was emphatic in
his statements that there vas no dis
position to hurt the business.
THE commission men of this city
are among the hardest workers for the
upbuilding of Topeka" said Mr.. Lux
this morning. I'VE are as anxious as
anyone for a healthy growing town.
You will find that the commission men
are always for Topeka in any of her
enterprises and to insinuate that we
have any plans for destroying any of
the towns business is not based on
facts"
Mr.. Lux has been particularly active
in his efforts on behalf of Topeka and 1t
goes without saying that the commits
sion man who said that they would
work to hurt Topeka spoke without
authority from the Others.

\ Clergyman Who Refuses Fees.

The Rev. Norman o. Hutton, who
recently accepted the pastorate of
Chicago church, in his first sermon
announced that he would take no
money from any family in his congre-
CATION for his attendance at a bap-
tisn, burial, wedding, or any other
special service for which it is usual
for a minister to receive a fee. 1.-The
money somehow robs the ceremony of
its beauty and dignity. The parish
pays the rector for his time, and I be-
lieve that he should give it freely"
That is a liberal proposition, but if
men would be forced to strict economy
in household expenses. Still, the
principle is right. The church pays
the clergyman a salary for his time
and it ought to be large enough so
that he will not be compelled to take
fees or tips from his parishioners for
any ministerial service they may re-
quire.-Utica Press

In the course of his remarks he said:
"The Methodist church is noted for the

WILL THE EX-GOVERNOR STAY TO
THE FINISH.

Ex-Governor Warfeld's attack on the
Democratic organization should have
been made year ago last fall, when it
might have accomplished something.
The leopard has not changed many of
its spots. The machine is much now as
it was two years ago, when Mr.. War
field took the stump and gave it clean
bill of health. If anything-thanks to
wholesome fear of the independent
vote, all of which did not follow Mr..
Warield's lead-the organization is bet
ter today than it was then. The candi-
dacY of George R. Gather on a pro-
gressive platform presented an oppor-
tunity to make effective protest against
boss rule. Mr.. Warfeld was among
those who, like the lady in the ballad,
preferred to ride with the tiger, and
met the usual fate of the victim of mis-
placed confidence.
1t would not be surprising if John
Walter Smith gave generously of his
superintendent means to the local Dem
ocratic machine in order to accelerate
public opinion" as Hon. Lemuel E..
Quigg calls it; but barking back to that
memorable race for the United States
Senate, everybody but Mr.. Wartield
knew that the cards We're stacked
against him from the start. He never
had ghost of show. The organiza-
ton used him to pull its own chestnuts
out of the fire and then tossed him
aside.
1t is an old, old story that would not
seem worth retelling, if repetition is
merely to air a grievance. But if the
Ex-Governor has entered the arena pre-
pared to stay and help fight the battle
of good government within party lines
when that course promises results and
without party lines when the cause de-
mands that much more difficult plan of
campaign his accessi to the ranks
of Independents from principle is a
welcome one. Baltimore News.

CR0THERS' CLAIMS FOR HIS PARTY

It's natural that a governor who is
first and foremost a practical politician
should be seeking in this legislative
election year to make a plea for the life
Of the organization which he represents.
But in a stump speech made through a
newspaper which he considers his organ,
Governor Crothers ignores certain facts
which the thinking element Of the peo-
pie will be likely to remember. He
used the sophisticated argument that
with Legislature divided between the
two parties that is, with the House
Republican and the Senate Democratic
1t would be difficult and in some cases
impossible to secure desirable legisa-
ton. 1t is astonishing that the Cover
nor has the nerve to make such a plea
with the recorded doings Of the two past
sessions Of Democratic legislatures be-
fore MIN. One might think that he had
forgotten the lump-sum expenses fund
voted in advance by the last two Demo-
