Miss Cameron never said q word, but

used to say to her: Where would you
have been If 1t hadn't been for me?'
He often reminded her that he had
aiken her in when h hadn't a cent
and no home or place to go to. Then
h would cry and he would stamp his
feet n say: 7 have no use for crying

BRIEF COMMENT
ON CURRENT EVENTS
RACE OR COLOR NO BAR
TO UNION MEMBERSHIP

We would be willing to wager the
LABOR World for a copy of Cooley's
Blacklist that the committee of the
American Bar association,-the law
yers professional union,-which re-
commended the expulsion of William
II. Lewis, the negro lawyer on ac-
count of his color, believes in the
open shop in everything in which
unions of workingmen have to do.
1t Is usually the case. The num-
bers OF the local Real Estate ex-
change will not enter into real estate
or mortgage loan deals with non
MEMBERS: The members of the Du-
luth Board of Trade will not share
commissions with non-mem bers. The
same code of union ethics prevails
IN measure with the Duluth
Builders Exchange.
The so-called "closed shop" is all
very we'll to protect organizations of
employers, traders and grain brokers',
but 1T presents an entirely different
aspect when unions of workingmen
seek to use it to maintain decent
standards Of living
However, the trade unions have
one virtue to their credit which is not
generally recognized, and for which
it should be given due credit, to the
shame of the American Bar associa-
ton.
No labor organization Is admitted
into the American Federation of
Labor that discriminates against a
wage Garner because of his race,
color, religion or politics. Few or
CARNATIONS Of men can claim such a
distinction.

INITIATIVE WOULD CURE
COMPLAINTS OF ROOSEVELT

There is not a complaint that COL
onel Roosevelt makes against judi
clal decisions OIL constitutional
amendments that cannot be remedied
by the application of the Initiative.
Back of his proposal, however, lies
the thought that in settling disputes,
the courts interpret constitutions and
thereby make presidents which oper-
ate as laws, judge-made laws, not
alone in a given dispute but through
out the whole domain of government.
The evil of which Mr.. Roosevelt
complains is indeed serious one.
Popular government is menaced by
the Judicial power of making law.
But Mr.. Roosevelt's amazing plan,
which would be clumsy and confus-
ing If 1t were necessary, would be
neither necessary nor excusable with
the popular Initiative in operation.
Surely this is plain.
If judges so construed a constitu-
tional provision as to make it unac-
ceptable to the people, or to tie them
up in the leading strings of dead
men, the people could by the Initia-
tive amend the constitution.
And they could do this without dis
turbing judges in whose ability and
good faith they might really confide.
If, after such amendment, the judges
pettifogged, with the evident purpose
Of multiplying the amendment, doubt
less the Recall would then be in
voked. It ought to be invoked in
such cases.
But if lawsuits and not judges are
to be subjects Of trials at the polls
they would provide no efficient rem
edy for judicial usurpation, judicial
dispotism, judicial incompetency and
judicial corruption. Against these
the people are set more than against
an error in judgment on the part OF
an honest and faithful judge.
