This parade is an imposing one, not
alone from the amount of money rep

sRIckLAYERs ADOPT CARD SYSTEM

The work of establishing a card sys-
tenn for the membership OF the Brick
layers, Masons and Plasterers' Interna-
tional Union has been completed at head
quarters in this city. The work was
started July 27 and required the services
of 35 additional clerks. 1t is complete
and conveniently arranged, being of the
cross-index type, with the card of each
individual member arranged both alpha
betically as to the name of the member,
and numerically, as to the number that
has been assigned to the member. There
are about 1000 names of members, and
because of the double system of indexing
this means about $4,000 cards. The
system was arranged because of the
mortuary benefits that are now being
paid by the international The payment
of these benefits was begun July 1, and
already about 30 claims have been paid.
The benefits range from 800 to 5000, ac-
cording to the length of membership In
good standing. and the average is about
$175. 1t is estimated that there will be
about one and one-half deaths a day.
The assessment a member for this fund
is 12H cents a month. That the organi-
zation is in good financial condition is
shown by the fact that 1t has banked In
indianapolis $4,000; in Chicago, $4,000;
in New York, $4,000; and in Albany,

SURPRISING GROWTH OF
SOCIALISTS VOTE.

One of the surprises in the congress
sional and state elections of 1910 was
the growth in the Socialist vote. Eugene
v. Debs, the Socialist candidate for presi-
dent, received $1,000 votes in 1900, 402,-
900 in 1904 and 900 in 1908. But the
aggregate vote for Socialist candidates
for congress in 1910, or for state officers
in the states in which that party did not
put up congressional tickets, passed the
100000 mark. Here and there they
elected members of legislatures. In the
fifth district of Wisconsin they chose a
member of congress, Victor L. Berger of
Milwaukee. He is the first man to go to
congress on the Socialist ticket. Mil
waukee elected a Socialist mayor and
board of aldermen last spring. 1t is the
first of the large cities of the country to
come under the sway of that party.
In several states-New York, Connecti-
cut, California and few others-the
Socialist candidates for state officers re-
ceived twice as many votes as were cast
there in 1908 for Debs. In many of the
states they led the Prohibitionists in the
recent election and became the real
third" party. Talk of Tammany's con-
troll of the Democracy had an influence
in increasing the Socialist vote in New
York. while the talk about high prices
of necessa.ies sweled the vote of that
party in other states In the case of the
Socialists, as of other minor parties,
however, larger votes have been cast in
off years than in presidential campaigns
When contests for president are on, the
citizen dislikes to vote "in the air" and
sides with one or the other of the big
parties, so as to make his ballot count"
Nevertheless, whatever may be the
cause or the causes of their growth. the
Socialists have attained a voting strength
with which the great parties in 1912 will
have to reckon.

PROGRESSlVENESS.

The labor movement of today stands
for progressiveness of a real permanent
character. The ranks are filled with men
who unselishly strive for the uplift of all
the people for the common good. 1t is
a great humane movement, and, like all
movements, it has it's faults, in men and
occasionally measures. In principle it is
as sound as the rock of Gibraltar. Its
work for humankind Is inestmable. Re-
suits have been achieved by the unselfish
devotion of its members. This devotion
has manifested itself in many ways, but
in greater degree by loyalty than any
other.
Men have given their lives for the
cause and have died in its service.
Others are leading without hope of per-
sonal reward, but with thte satisfaction
of participation in great work. This is
the spirit which has made labor what it
is today; this is the spirit that will guide
its future. Some men are imbued with
this spirit of loyalty to greater degree
than others. Some give their best effort
without hope of reward or even appre-
citation. Others there are who accept the
benefits, but give no return. Many would
sacrifice it to gain personal prestige or
political preferment. Others would ruin
If they could-when they cannot rule.
This has been the experience of all
great uio'elueHtS-yeS, anu VI iitlic oHe5,
too; but the good, sound, common sense
of the vast majority can be relied upon;
that great conscience which is the guide
of labor In its future work and which
gives its stability Leaders may come
and go, big men in mind and heart may
pass from the stage, but their places will
be filled by other big men. Mistakes
have been made and mistakes will be
made. but the movement of labor will go
on with clean, able. far-seeing leaders do
ing their work with the men OF labor for
the progress of the cause.
We often wonder why the great lead.
ers fail to see how bright these fellows
are and let them handle things for a
while. If you ask him why he don't go
to the meeting some night and speak his
little piece. his answer will be whats
the use? The local is run by ring, and
fellow can't get a square deal"
The rings referred to are generally the
men who attend the meetings and take
an interest in the affairs of the union. 1t
certainly must be disgusting, and II he
could see himself as others see him. he
would get wise and remember his obiiga-
tion. We are pleased to say men of this
stamp are very few.-Rochester Labor

Labor organizations like any other or

while to say, seems glad when the meet

bazaar and puts a few high ones under
his belt, then commences to let every
one know where he stands on the great
labor question and how 1t would settle
the things up If he had his way. The
men who sacrifice time and money for
the good of their unions are cheap lot

A KNOCK.

Leslies Weekly, one of the great cor
poration papers. takes the following un-
reasonable knock at the referendum:
The absurdity of the referendum,
pushed to its logical conclusion, is found
in the seven-foot ballot the voters of
South Dakota had to manipulate at the
late election. In the larger precincts it
was necessary to provide special ballot
boxes the size of small trunks. The bal
lots, "a inches long and IA inches wide,
were filled from top to bottom with close
ly printed nonpareil type, one alone of
the proposed laws covering two feet of
space. Nor is this the limit to the bur-
den which a referendum amendment
might put upon the voter. 1t would be
quite possible to have ballot eight or
even 10 feet long, covered closely with
the texts of proposed legislation, referred
back to each individual citizen for ap-
proval or disapproval. The government
of the United States was established as
representative democracy. A pure
democracy, in which the people speak
directly upon every question of public
Importance, would be possible only in a
small territory, with population corre-
spondingly small History thus far has
produced no finer form of government
than a truly representative democracy,
and with an intelligent electorate and
honest public servants We can conceive
of no higher form. The improvement
of our civic life will not be found in
cumbrous referendum ballots seven feet
long, but in sincere effort to make our
democracy truly representative through
the selection of candidates and the cleo
ton to public office of men who can be
trusted to make laws or to administer
their Offices for the common good.
