The national executive committee has
decided to push with vigor the propa-
ganda of Socialism among the organized
labor unions To do this in a systematic
manner IL is necessary to have the
names and addresses of labor union
members that belong to the Socialist
party. so this agitation can be brought
into direct contact with an organized and
Intelligent force for distribution and ef.
forts to accomplish results. We have
learned from experience that the mem
bers OF well established labor organiza-
tions are the most competent in the man
agement and conduct OF any measure, by
following an orderly system to do the
work. Therefore as state secretary l
hereby request notice from either the
members themselves or from the finan-
cial secretaries. particularly. OF the
names and addresses OF party members
that are also members OF some trades
union. with the particular trade or union

SOUNDS LIKE BUSINESS.

Z want business men Gu juries.
Men who have no business responsl-
bilitios do not make good jurors
Some Of you may haze to make sac
rifices for jury service, but you are
the men | wan on inries here.
This is Part of what Circuit Judge
G. r Gotham rad to say yesterday
morning as his first official act Il
was telling the new grand jury some
thing OF the duties of citizenship that
the community viii give happy ear to.
Too often inries are made up OF
idlers. or CT men who have no other
qualification for jury duty than that
They are dependant. or that the fees
for service will be acceptable.
Business men are too willing 70
shift the responsibility and then com
plain as to results
Then. hesiedes. il a man feels no
business responsibility he is not quail
fled to sit on a grand jury or on a.
petit jury. He should have a wida
scope Of understanding. His is an
important function His official acts
extend into wide aeld.
The and jury and the petit jury,
as selected, are good jurles. what
would they have been If trimmed OF
the men listed on them who had
business reasons for not serving?
The question OF placing court re-
sponsibilities with business men Is
logical. Business men of all kinds
should he chosen. A jury OF doctors,
or of grocers, or OF cigar Dealers, or
OF dry goods men, or OF saloon men,
or of meat dealers. or Of druggists.
or of any other line. would not be a
good jury. But jury OF business men
from all the channels Of cur CONNER
cial relations. would prove good jury
for the peace and preservation and
prosperity OF any community
Judge Gotham hit the nail squarely
on the head in this matter. Not alone
that. but the whole of his charge 20
the grand jury, was Of a sound, logi
cal and common sense trend, lie II
terpreted the law as it is written, and
he made to simple understanding the
statutes.
His first day in court is one for
congratulation. He is receiving con
gratulations. and a community is Goa
graduating itself. The duties of cir
cult Judge are not so great but that
man OF fairness. common sense and
legal understanding, can FIJI them
With satisfaction to all. Judge Gotham
has indicated in his debut that he has
these, and though his course Will De
followed with the greatest of zeai-
Gus interest, It is apparent that ne
