The government seems TO believe in the
old saying that cit takes a thief to
catch thief This would explain the
presence of some of the men on com
mlttees appointed to conduct investiga-
tons into the high cost of the neces-
saries of life.
The capitalistic press gives one S. B.
Elkins great credit for assuming an ap-
gressive stand for rigid Investigation
into the reason for the present high
prices. But when it is known that an
election takes place in this state this fall
at which time his boon companion and
partner IN the house of trusts will be up
Tor reelection and Is members of the
legislature will be elected who will vote
for U. S. Senator when he himself is up
for reelection, his sudden interest in the
common people can be readily under
stood. He has always been the foe of
organized labor in this State and the con-
ditlon of the men employed on his prop
critics could hardly be worse. A little
four flushing at the right time may con-
tinue to hoodwink the people and con-
tlnue him as the master mind.
Heike, the secretary of the sugar trust,
will, in all probability escape going to
Jail, because he rendered to the state the
invaluable service of testifying against
the men in his employ-who simply obey
ed his instructions in carrying out plans
to cheat the government Thus does
justice vindicate herself
Judge Burdett was quite generous in
handing out swat in connection with
the council investigating committee, but
of the Jail investigating committees re-
port he saith naught.
Hubbard went to the cubbard-but
stephen DiXon-D beat him to it for
Nathan Bay and there was nothing left
for his Declares but to maunch upon
little hay.
There are many political CRATER in
West Virginia, both large and small, but
Henry G and Stephen B. own them
all.

AND LABOR
LOS ANGELES CITIZEN.

1t was Plato who said: elf we
could examine the heart of a king, we
would find it full of sears and black
wounds. y The hidcousness of the
hearts of our modern kings of industry
will some day be revealed to an awkward
public Conscience
'The man who works for n LIVING. ,,
says our present public conscience, "is
entitled to every privilege enjoyed by
the man of business. But it is speak
ing only in departmental sense. 1t
does not refer to that which concerns
the worker as worker, but as a political
and religious personality. "Vote as YOU
pleasc,' it says; ''worship as you
please; but work as your employer
pleascs.'
There is nothing more striking to the
student of modern economies than the
Ignorance of the public mind and the
apathy of the public conscience toward
the interests of labor
1t is rarely that a strike of labor can
carry with it public sentiment. The
public is very impatient toward incon-
venences resulting from strikes and in
conslderate of the rights of labor in the
matter. 1t reckons not the sufferinps
and injustices that have forced the
worker to resort to that extremity. Men
do not strike for pastime. A full, live
public conscience would look for the
Provocations and enact square deal for
all concerned.
was there ever greater insult to
American intelligence and conscience
than the claim made by successful bust
ness men, that they have a right to run
their business to suit themselves? Is it
nothing to the American public that an
employer is able to force his EMPLOYEES
to work for less than ga fair day s paw
Tor fair days work7' Why, do we
not boast of a social spirit2 Can this
spirit subscribe to the creed of Greed
as practiced by employers: "Get the
profits. Let the men take what we are
willing to give, or starve''?
Protect property,'' says public con-
science. 60 If need be, call out the troops
Call them out anyway. Property must
be protected. But what of the little
house and lot of the striker7 What of
the loss of labor? What of the eating
up of the little bank account? What
OF the theft of his job by the body
guard knight-the strike breaker? What
of the scars made on his and his wife s
and children s minds and hearts by the
lndlgnity of military surveillance What
of the insult to our democratic ideals?
What says public consciences "Let the
worker take what he can get Better
work for less than starve'' Why not
say to the employer, "Look out for
yourself?'' Is the factory of the en-
ployer more sacred than the homes of the
employes7

God bless the girl who works! She
IS not too proud to earn her own living,
nor ashamed to be caught at her daily
task. She smiles at you from behind the
desk, counter or printer s case. There
is sweet memory of her in everything
she touches. She is like a brave noun
taineer, already far up the prccipice-
climbing, struggling, rejoicing. The
sight is an inspiration. 1t is an honor
to know this grl and be worthy of her
esteem. Lift your hat to her, young man,
as she passes by. She is n queen in the
realm of womanhood. She is n princess
among the toilcrs. Her hands NAV be
stained by dishwashing, sweeping, print
er S ink or factory grease. But they are
honest hands They stay misfortune
from the home; they support the invalid
loved ones maybe; they are moving. po-
tent shields that protect many n family
from the poor house. God bless ad pro-
tect the girl who works.

The present unions of labor cost too
much OF labor, persecution, hardship and
sacrifice of those who have gone before.
they are too valuable in the present, and
carry too much of the hopes and aspira-
tons OF the toilcrs for the future, for
loyal members to longer contiue to allow
their usefulness to be impaired by the
professional knockcr who is ALWAYS ham
mering the officers.

EXPLAINS DEATH STATISTICS.
Statement is Issued On lnfantie Nor
tally in Detroit.

LANSING, Mich. Dec. 5.-(Special)
Secretary of State Martindale is
sued the following statement today:
Some question has been raised by
the Detroit Board of Health as TO the
accuracy of the infantile death rate
for the city, put out by the United
States census bureau.
Il believe that the Detroit board of
health misunderstands the death clas-
sifcation of the United States govern
ment and of the different states. BY
this classification all babies that are
born alive and die are included in the
death list, even though they die with
in five minutes Of birth. This adds
greatly To the infantile death rate.
mo one would be more proud than
myself TO see Michigan and her diff
ferent municipalities have the min
imum percentage Of deaths.

the facts as they are presented To us.
