FOR UNION MEN 81
.~.st TO THINK OVER

It has got to besa standing joke In
the cigar world, at least among the
independent dealers and union manu-
facturers, that II it were not for union
men the United Cigar stores profits
would be materially reduced, as 1t is
claimed by those who have taken the
trouble to find OUT that q: large per-
centage Of their patronage comes
from union working men. Being as
sisted in this line of business and
operating a union cigar factory. am
often forced into. unpleasant argu-
Sments with dealers to why 1t is that
50 many union men persist In patron
1z1ng trust stores. It is> not because
they get any greater, values for their
money, but It Is the little coupon, the
getting Of something for nothing, that
does the business 80 = So
But while your union man thinks
he is getting something for nothing
the trust is giving nothing for sone-
thing. In paying slave wages to their
employees who are supplying the
products for their stores, 50 in the
end 1t is not the kind-hearted trust
magnate who Is your Santa Claus
but the little girls and women who
slave for them who are the real
givers. Labor unions that have
adopted q label to identify the pro-
duct of their skill have spent untold
thousands Of money to impress the
spirit Of their cause upon their fell
low workmen and the great public.
and yet some sso-called union men,
day in and day out, sacrifice prin-
ctple for show. 49, ~ ..
BY trading off their union gold for
the products Of unfair and underpaid
labor and to corporations that re-
spite the very thought Of unionism
and would rejoice at seeing every last
union man in Jail. These are the
people to whom some union men give
their coin. &c.
What the cross is to- the Christian
world, the union label is to the la
Dor world. their salvation. Union
workers should do everything in their
power to promote the sale OF all pro-
ducts bearing the lakeland cease
being the laughing stock Of the world.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.
BY Rev. Roland Is. SAWYER.

: ny rev. ktOla00s -. sawyer.
At the recent Sycamore Sociological
conferences, Victor Berger engaged In
a discussion with some Of the ad-
vocates Of commission government, In
which he opposed it on the ground
that it was unwise Ito violate the
American plan Of separate legislative
and executive power: An article by
Professor Ford, Of Princeton, was re-.
ferred to as an answer to Berger's
position. This article appeared III
Scribner's Magazine for. January and
! have Just secured the magazine and
read the article. Professor Ford here.
sets forth his opinion that the idea
Of separate political powers is OUT.
grown, and to support his theory I
can find five things In the article.
First, he claims that he Is inductive
and scientific, but his reasoning does
not appear that he is.
Second, he quotes Burke and Paine
against Montesquieu. have not by.
me the connections in which Paine
and ! Burke made the statements
quoted, but taking them at the value
that Professor Ford put upon them,
they prove nothing more than that
Paine and Burke found Corruption
and disorder in the existing polih-
cal power, and that 1t was their .opin-
lon that It arose out Of division OF
power and partition Of sovereignty.
Great advance has been made since
Burke and Paine, and the Socialist
teachings have shown to all Of us that
the cause of disorder and corruption
Is private profit" and that SO long
as it lasts it will bring disorder and
corruption to any form OF government.
Then Professor Ford cites three his
toric instances to substantiate his
cla1m-they are the French const1tu-
ton of 1879, under which Bonaparte
assumed control, and the French con-
stttutton Of 1875, under which the
present republic assumed control.
Both of these connected the execu-
tive and legislative powers. says Pro-
lessor Ford; but mark you. both Of
these were reacttonary movements,
one against the great revolution and
the other against the Commune. Again
the professor points to the break
down Of the theory of the separation
Of political powers in the present ten
dency in America in having the judges
make laws as well az interpret them.
Here we have reaction bold and I'M
disguised. :, 9s
The professor halls tho commission
for cities, and says as. soon as the
break begins we will rapidly extend
the commission idea to every form Of
state government. Is. 81. ! =. ..1 Is:
Instead Of. refuting Berger. Profes-
sor Ford's article proves beyond dis
pnte that Berger. IT, risht, and that
the; commission philosophy is re-
dictionary position. But anyhow, we
must not forget that it is profit that
hinders even the best form Of political
machinery from working, and that
when profit is abolished, it will be-
but simple matter to perfect q work
able political machinery. And In the
meantime, it appears to me that the.
theories Of the French Constitution OF
1871. and Of the American colonies
are still safer as q guide than the
theories Of Professor Ford, Lafe
Young. and various other advocates
Of government by commission. 4

their name in every particular.
Promotions will bemade in all the
grades except one. 1t is thought
best to have this grade review
their work and thoroughly master
same before taking up the new
and hard work Of the grade. One
of the greatest mistakes teacher
can make is promoting a child be-
fore it is mentally strong enough
for the next grade or promoting
for popularity. Let us make
haste slowly,
One school board in Kansas has
taken a stand on card playing and
dancing. They adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions at their first
board meeting after the annual
election:
<"Whereas our children spend
from nine to twelve years and
sometimes more, in our public
schools; and when they graduate
they are young men and women
with habits and character largely,
If not entirely, formed, aud the
school influences of these twelve
or more years are largely and in a
large majority of cases wholly re-
sponsible for their future; hence
the influences of the teacher must
have greater bearing on the
child than can have those of the
minister or even the parents;
therefore, be it resolved, that
all teachers employed in this
school shall enter into a signed
contract, one of the expressed
conditions and agreements of which
shall be that such teacher shall
during the full term of said con-
tract refrain from dancing and
card playing and shall in every
way conduct themselves in a man
ner fitting and becoming the digni-
ty of their positions; the violation
of any of which shall cause such
contract to be null and void and
cause the position of such teacher
to become vScant."
We have heard these same
thoughts from many parents in
Seward county in regard to- card
playing and dancing. We are
also glad to say that few, if any
of our teachers do either.
Nearly every school district in
Seward county sends US the mes
sage, "Send us a good teacher,
one who will help us train our
children in ways of goodness, one
who will help lift us up on higher
ground, one who will be an in
spiration and heaven for US all, .
Mrs ], A. Hall and children
spent an hour or so with US last
week while waiting for her hus-
band who was on the jury.
Messrs Watson, Swink and Ma
lone called on business relating
to their schools several times last
week.
Rev T. B. Lawrence, the new
missionary minister for this dis
trict, and wife made US a pleas
ant call one day last week. They
have daughter, Miss Bertha Law
renee, teaching in Galena, Kansas.
They also have son, James, who
is planning to teach. They are
very pleasant people and are en-
joying their new experience of life
in our western country,
A letter from Prof A. L. Sickle
of Harper county, received the
first of the week asks US to give
his regards to friends in Seward
county. Prof Sickle will assist
us with the normal in July. The
normal will begin July Sd, and we
hope every one who is intending
to teach in Seward county for the
year 1911-.12 will plan to attend.

little visits and calls with Mrs
