eoMPERs ON PROHIBITION.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in Chica-
go a few days ago refused an invitation
to speak for the local option cause. Ex-
planning his reason for declining, Mr..
Gompers said that the experience OF most
cities has shown prohibition to be a
failure.
81 could not consent to indorse local
option because l am not in sympathy
with the movement" said Mr.. Gompers.
Proper regulation of the liquor trafiic
is much more effective than the abolish
ment of saloons under the local option or
prohibition laws. Experience of cities
both in the United States and other coun-
tries has shown this.
There is not city in Maine where
stranger cannot go and buy all the beer
and whiskey he wants. There is no at
tempt whatever to disguise the fact that
these places are operating in violation
of the law"

LA6oR's MEMORIAL DAY SECOND
SUNDAY IN MAY.

Citations and fraternities which have des-
ignated special memorial days in honor
of their departed associates. We believe
that there is no cause SO far-reaching in
its benign Influences and its beneficent
results, not only to labor but to the hui
man family, as the labor movement of
our country and our time Surely then
it is but mete that the men and women
who have done so much in the interest
of the people should linger with us in
fond remembrance, that we may not only
pay appropriate tribute to our honored
dead, but also that it may prove an in
SEPARATION to the living now and for the
future.
There are a number of organizations
which observe a memorial day, some eel
ebrating it the second Monday in May of
each year, and others the first Sunday in
December. DESTROYS of obtaining a con-
sensus of opinion. we authorized Presi-
dent Gompers to correspond with a num-
Der of international unions. The major
itysof them express themselves favorable
to the observance of a Labor's Memorial
Day, though indicating no special time.

vention that it declare in favor of the

that this convention designate the day

The recommendation of the executive
council was Endorsed by the convention.
and it was ordered THAT the second Sun
day in the month of May be the day to be
SO designated and observed"
The observance of the day promises to

it is to be hoped that Denver will be one
of the cities this year where the men and
women of labor will forget petty differ
ences, gather in some house of worship
and do reverence to our departed
brethren.

ter of the 10th instant regarding the pro-

OHIO FEDERATION PROTESTS.

The Ohio Federation OF Labor has sent

the proposed appointment of Alexander

The protest is on the ground that Smith
is a corporation lawyer and follows a
similar communication forwarded to
Washington by the organized railroad

expressions of the Colorado representa-
tives at Washington.
If the proposal of President Taft was
to be enacted into law, many struggling
publications would be forced to suspend
for lack of funds to pay the exorbltant
postal rates 1t would handicap labor or
CARNATIONS greatly in getting their pub
LEGATIONS to their members and the public,
and similar publications in all walks OF
life would be compelled to pay the great
| ly increased rate of postage to the gov
eminent.
An effort is now being made by the
| third assistant postmaster general TO de-
prive the labor papers and fraternal order
publications of the second class mailing
rate if they carry advertisements. Inc
complaint against the comparatively In
significant advertising business of these
small monthly organs seems to come
from the big dailies and the big maya
zines who follow advertising as a busl-
ness. 1t appears to be simply another
case of the government helping the big
fish to swallow up the little ones. The
ruling which the third assistant postmas-
ter general is seeking to enforce is clear
ly class legislation. 1t is simply mat
ter of assisting the strong to suppress
the weak.
The government of the United States
should give a square deal in this matter.
It cannot afford to thus discriminate
against the small publishers.
But the thing that impresses the reader
of these letters most is the difference be-
tween the letters of the senators and
those of the representatives. The repre-
sentatives place themselves fairly and
squarely before the people, and in a
straightforward manner they state their
position in regard to the proposed legis-
lation. They are of the people, elected
by the people and by their attitude as
stated in their letters clearly show that
they are for the people and are not back
ward in putting themselves on record IN
matters of public interest. These men
may be exceptional representatives, and
might be the same if they were not re-
sponsible to the people for their acts and
we're dependent on them for their return
to the national congress; but We believe
that the average man is more careful OF
his acts when he is responsible to the
voters for his conduct in representing
the people.
We believe the senators would be more
considerable of the wishes of the people
if they were elected by popular vote and
not by the legislature, as at present, and
all labor unions should urge that the con-
stitution be amended making United
States senators SO elective.
