BY attaching the emergency clause
to the initiative and referendum bill,
the Senate made it possible to submit
the constitutional amendment to the
people at the approaching election, so
that two years hence the people can
initiate and refer the measures they
demand. Included in the bill is a pro-
vision which will give all cities and
towns the right to the initiative and
referendum in their local affairs. as
soon as the people adopt the amend
ment at the polls. The BILL therefore,
establishes the peoples rule not only
in statewide affairs but in the affairs
of the political units within the state
When Gov. Shafroth heard the news
he Immediately sat down and penned
letter to William Jennings Bryan
telling all about the famous fight and
victory. The governor felt that the
passage of the bill was an all-sufficient
vindication of the extra session. This
victory alone pays ten times over the
cost of the extra session thus far" he
said.

progressive Republicans are still con-

Platform Democrats are hopeful of

by Samuel Gompers, president OF tie

various labor organizations throushV1 a,
the country. 1t is fathered by Con-
gresham Sulzer, one of the most ag-
gressive friends of union labor in the

When the measure was being con-
sidered by the house committe on Ia
Dor few days ago President Gompers
urged its enactment on the grounds
that practical labor man in the cab
net would be of the utmost assistance
to the government and the president
in dealing with labor matters of vital
Importance to the country. In refer
ring to past labor troubles Mr. Com
pers told the committee that had there
been in the presidents cabinet a prac-
tical railroad man at the time of the

Can't Serve Two Masters
That the department of commerce
and labor is a failure, owing to the Inn
possibility of successfully serving two
masters, was graphically pointed out
by Frank Morrison, secretary Of the
American Federation of Labor.
"a man would have to be a DR..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" said Secretary
Morrison, ito meet the requirements
Of the department of commerce and
labor.
You have departments of state, war
and agriculture" argued the secretary
of the A. F. Of L., but where is your
department Of labor?
There are at least 100000 farm
ers receiving benefits from the depart
ment of agriculture, but where is the
department looking afteF the welfare
of the 100000 farm laborers?
Twenty Million Laborers Ignored.
lover 100000 laborers in this
country have no departmental repre-
sentation. If they had do you think
this country would permit the condi-
tions which today exist in the steel
industry?
There is a great steel plant at
Bethlehem" continued Mr.. Morrison,
enjoying the protection of this gov
eminent through millions Of dollars
of contracts, where men work thir-
teen and fourteen hours a day for
seven days in the week. The govern
ment should have just as much inter-
est in these laborers as in the million
aires who own the plant.
Terrible Conditions Exist.
IF we had had a secretary Of labor
for the past fifteen years no such ter
rible conditions would exist as Com
missioner Neilrs report shows exists
in the Bethlehem (Pa) steel plant.
These conditions are characterized as
shocking by the commissioner, and if
we had labor member of the cabinet
now he would take immediate steps
to remedy the revolving evil"

Long Hours Making Steel.

Twenty nine working seven days ev-

Forty three including these twenty
nine, working some Sundays in the

Fifty-one working twelve hours a

Twenty-Five working twelve hours a

Forty-six earning less than 50 a

These are the grim figures which
the United States bureau of labor
gives us of the working shifts of the

the company's own time books. They
are not figures which would help en-

surance as to what civilization or

The pay is that of single men; the
hours are those of dodgers rather than of
fathers and husbands who can partici-

Kindness on tha EARN

Leslie's: A farmer out in North
Dakota having been sick all winter and
spring, on given day his neighbors
met at his farm and with twenty-five
outfits plowed narrowed and sowed
one hundred acres in single day. The
wives and daughters came, too. and
served fine noon dinner on the lawn,
making gala event of the day. This
pleasing little incident reads like a
chapter from fifty or a hundred years
ago. with its barn or house 'raisings,"
neighborhood harvestings and thresh-
ings, and other similar occasions
where the spirit OF mutual helpfulness
prevailed, without thought of financial
consideration. The only desire was to
do a neighbor good turn" In our
highly organized social life, in the
mad whirl in which we move. we are
losing much of this simple, neighborly
spirit and 1t is q great loss. Promis-
cuous charity is admittedly a bad
policy but organized charities cannot
cover all cases and supply all needs.
Outside OF all charitable agencies there
will always be wide field for kind
ness and thoughtfulness to call out
the unselfsh qualities of our nature.
Let us. there fore. seek to cultivate
them.

Dickinson.

Dickinson, N. D., June 14.-To The
Forum: Bumper crops will undoubted-
ly be the result of the late beneficial
rains through the western part of the
state. The cool weather which was
predicted as among the possibilities of
failure, turns out to be a blessing in
disguise, for now that the rains and
warm weather have come, the grain
has grown almost by inches during
each twenty-four hours.
Some outside agent has been inter-
viewing the merchants relative to a
market day for the city. The idea is
certainly one that should have the
encouragement it deserves, but the
question of an outsider, whose perso-
nal interest is only the dollar in IL
for him" is hardly that which appeals
to the merchants.
Splendid Roadway is being made with
the new Masonic temple, and the local
lodge is looking towards the laying OF
the corner stone with much interest
A committee relative to the ceremony
of stone laying has been appointed
with Willis Richards, DR.. Stickney and
w. F. Turner in charge. 1t is likely
to become one of the events Of the city
and though the day is not set, it will
be made to meet the wishes of the
| friends who will be among the visit
| ing brethren.

Low WAGES, pxinr Babies

In Buffalo the Poles furnish over a
third Of all those assisted by charity.
although they form but one-sixth of
the population. Says John Daniels in
the Survey for June: These condi-
tions are in part the inevitable result
OF the prevalence Of starvation wages.
Though the Poles form but 16 per cent
OF the population, they had in 1909
SO per cent Of the deaths of infants
under one year old, and 81 per cent
of the deaths of children under years
old. The proportion of Polish deaths
of infants under one year in the total
Polish deaths is five and nine tenths,
while the corresponding proportion for
the non-Polish population is only two
and four tenths."
Among the adults in the Polish col
ony the death rate is lower than in
the rest of the city because there are
few aged and infirm among them.
Their children ought to be more vigor-
Gus and healthy than those of their
American neighbors, provided the COM
munity properly safeguard their liv-
ing conditions.

JUDGE MORGANS
OPINION GOOD
CHIEF JUSTICE MoRGAN's DIS
sENTING OPINION IN THE ADJU-
TANT GENERAL CASE OF POOLE
VS.. PEAKE ACCEPTED BY HIGH
EST COURT or NEW JERSEY.

The court of errors and appeals of
New Jersey, among the high standing
courts in this country, few weeks
ago handed down a strong opinion in
point holding with Chief Justice Nor
CAMS dissenting opinion in the much
discussed adjutant general case of
Poole VS.. Peake.
This case was argued in the North
Dakota supreme court in January, 1909,
being the first case argued and decided
after Governor Burke had appointed
Judges Ellsworth and Carmody as
members.
There was a great diversity of opin-
ion in the supreme court, four different
opinions being filed in this case Ellis
worth, J., wrote a special opinion. as
did Fisk, j., Fisk agreeing In part with
Morgan, c. j., four members holding
that Poole's term had expired, while
Judge Morgan dissented from all the
others, holding that General Poole's
term had not expired under the North
Dakota laws and constitution. Now
comes strong decision from a sister
state upholding Judge Morgan's dis
senting opinion and approves of his
conclusion.
