RAMBLING REMARKS
BY Geo. 0. 81 Ike

II is the comment of ohservant
foreign visitors that American
iowns and cities are the worst
governed and most expensively
managed OF any in the world.
This is no, because American OF
scials are less competent or less
honest than foreign officials but
because OF our very cumbersome
municipal machinery and because
municipal electors permit too
many side issues to enter into the
choice of officials. Take a town
like Paonia, for instance. what
value is there in the politics.
religion or social ideas of an
official9 What possible difference
can it make IN an officials effi-
cheney whether he is republican.
a democrat. a socialist or mug
wump2 What difference whether
he IS a Methodist. Baptist. Pre-. -
byterisn or outsider There is no
important issue in Paonia besides
municipal improvements and eco
nomical administration. Hereto
fore voters have divided on po-
lit:cal lines. on the liquor ques-
,ion and other like irrelevant
ISSUES. So far as the welfare OF
our town is concerned 1t does not
matter what political or religious
views are entertained by the
mayor or councilmen So far as
the liquor question IS concerned.
no one at all familiar with the
public sentiment regards II as
open. The great majority OF our
citizens are IN favor OF dry town
and no competent official. no mat
ter " hat might be his private
opinion on the subject. would
estertsin the idea OF grsniirg
license for the sale OF liquor.
What we need to make our town
what It should be is to put all
these cXtraneous matters out OF
consideration and select our town
officials solely for their fitness
TO carry out systematic and in
telligent municipal improvement
on economic business lines. Ii is
time to stop puerile controversy
over closed questions and imma-
terial issues and get down to real
business management. No one
cares about the private opinions
Of the man who builds his house
or conducts his legal business.
The only matter considered is
fitness to do the work as you want

spring and select town officials

RESOLUTION
ENDORSED
Boston Unionists Take
Decisive Action on I'm
migrat ton Ouestio n
Raised by Everett Cen
tral Body.

A few weeks ago the Everett Trades
Council took up the matter Of agita-
tion for Federal restriction Of immigra-
tion of laborers from southern Europe.
A committee was appointed to confer
with Daniel Keefe, commissioner of
immigration, and promise was secured
from him that he would cooperate as
far as possible to the end that Amer
iran labor might be protected from
the horde of cheap European labor.
Resolutions were drawn up calling for
further restrictive legislation by con
gress and copies sent to state and cen
tral bodies all over the country. The
first answer was received this week
when the central body of Boston,
Mass, adopted the resolutions and went
on record in emphatic language as fa-
voring the further restriction of foreign
cheap labor. Other central bodies are
expected to join in the agitation with
a view of awakening public sentiment
and bringing pressure to bear on con
gress and the federad authorities to
bring relief.

A BLUFF THAT DIDN'T WORK.

This is the story of how an employe
of the local light company tried to get
away with monumental jluff, got it
called, and then got scared at his own
noi,r
A local union man was riding home
from work the other afternoon and
exclaimed to his companion:
"Well, l see where | don't have any
electric lights when | get home. There
are couple of rats cutting the con-
nectioR now" He had ordered his lights
removed until the company saw fit to
deal with the striking electricians.
Mr.. Employe of the light company
We'll call him No. 52-faithful to the
company, of course--butted in. 'Fll bet
you," he exclaimed, chat we are in
stalling lights in six houses to every
one house we disconnect on account of
the strike. "I'll bet you 800 to 10c."
He instantly saw his mistake, but still
wanted to put up a front, so he added:
"Tll tell you what I will do; I'll bet
you SO to 10c on the proposition"
He was taken on in less time taan it
takes to tell it, and the money was put
up with the street car conductor. The
rmionist got off at his corner and No
90 rode on. After the unionists had
left No. So squealed for his money
and finally induced the stakeholder to
give it back to him.
The unionists who took the short end
of the bet is responsible for the truth
of this story and he considers his 10e
well invested He had a mortal cinch
on that $40, he figured, but was will
ing to let it go. If he had been given a
chance to win that ten spot there would
have been sadder and wiser light
employe. He is wiser now and it is
safe to say that he will make no more
fool bets of $40 to 10c

Mrs. DR.. Luema Johnson, of Tacoma,
gave the address Of the evening, taking
as her subject the "Womens Card and
Label League" She delivered mag
nificent address and told OF the condi-
tions surrounding the girls and women
in industry in the large cities. She
emphasized the duty of the women of
the wage workers to demand the union
label on everything they purchased and
to insist that goods should be manu-
factured under sanitary conditions
She pointed ont That this was due not
only the wage earners Of their own sex
but the wage conditions Of their pro
viders could be best upheld by patron
izing only union made goods.
Dr. johnson has visited the sweat
shops of many of our large cities and
painted vivid pictures of the awful con-
ditions surrounding women and girls in
sweatshops and non-union factories.
/ At the conclusion of her address n
temporary organization was formed

things of adornment, whether for use

Not the least mervelous thing about
this great western empire on the
shores of the Pacific to the delighted
and amazed Eastern visitors, is the
growth and development of our cities.
1t is hard to make the Fastener rea-
lize that less than twency years ago
the land upon which our modern cos
mopolitan cities now stand, was coy
cred with dense forest growths; our
wonderment and the tourist rubs his
eyes and gasps and wonders. No Al
addin's lamp has done this thing, how
ever. 1t has been the courage re-
sourcefulness and ambition of the
sons and daughters of the west. A
decade ago Everett was not upon the
map of Uncle Sans western domain
today she proudly takes her place
as fourth city in the state of Wash
ington All CLASSES of citizens have
worked to make this possible-worked
in fair and stormy weather. To no
class must more credit be given than
to the organized wage workers, who
have at all times stood for high
standard of wages as the best insurance
against industrial stagnation. A we'll
paid people is prosperous people and
a prosperous people is contented peo-
plea maxiom that will always hold
good.
Many of our business men are APP
preciative of the loyalty and stability
of Everett's organized workingmen and
women. The fact that they use the col
umns of labor's paper is proof that they
solicit the continued support of our
readers. The Journal is a medium be-
tween the workingmen and women of
Everett, who must patronize business
houses and the merchants, who have
wares to sell. The advertising columns
are necessary adiuncts of every legiti-
mate newspaper and all parties are
filling a natural want in the life of the
city. We take pleasure in presenting
to our readers a brief resume of the
men in business in this city that use
our columns and take this opportunity
of reminding the members and friends
of organized labor that the merchants
using our columns are helping us to re-
main in business and furnish you week
by week the news of the labor world.
A fair exchange is no robbery and if
the merchants patronize us our people
can in no better way show their ap
probation than by patronizing our ad-
vertisers.

you ever get into crowd of the fair
sex at any popular dry goods store on
bargain day? Trampled corns and
jostled elbows are forgotten as they
surge from counter to counter looking
for bargains. And, bless your hearts,
the women find 'em, too. Really, the
difficulty lies in just how much money
they have to spend for the whole tenn
