New York, Jan. "a plan of govern

ment. as far reaching as the socialistiC
propaganda of universal brotherhood,
VIII receive acceleration at the hands
OF the Efficiency Society, which will
hold its first annual meeting here Mon
day and Tuesday of next week.
Headed by James c. Cannon, many
times a millionaire, who is president of
the society and of the Fourth National
Bank of New York, one of the largest
banking institutions in the world, the
Efficiency Society is composed of a long
list of millionaire captains of industry
who banded together last March to cope
With the growing dissatisfaction with in
dustrial conditions, which has held the
country in its grip.
The keynote of the society's industrial
policy is the organization of an entire
industry into a single Unit, with joint
board of administration, on which en-
ployers, employees, and the public shall
be represented. Such an organization,
states the society, could prevent strikes,
prevent seasonal fluctuations. secure
uniform sanitary regulations, solve the
problems of employing and unemploy-
ment, and effect joint purchasing and
joint distribution methods, as well as
uniform accounting methods

The society also expects to show how

fciency by :he regulation of currency,
of the tariff, and the enactment of
measures for reducing the cost of living

VIRGINIA BROOKS OWN STORY

From the National Municipal Review.
According to your request ! will tell
you few of my activities in West Ham
mond. You have probably read OF my
long fight, extending over a year and a
half. TO rid West Hammond Of a graft
ring that has been assessing the Poles out
of house and home for rotten improve
ments which represented about . cents
on the dollar. 1 might run over the Incl
dents briefly. / was a musician by pro
fession and knew little OF business or
property, when l was confronted with
$50 600 worth of assessments on little
piece of property left TO my mother by
my father upon his death.
That November, 1910. three days after
the receipt of the assessments, ! put nv
furniture in storage and with my mother
came to Hammond. feeling l must do
something. but not knowing where to
begin. No sooner had ] stepped into the
town than I was aware that the streets
were made Of inferior material and the
workmanship was poor: in fact. one street
was under construction, and 80 raw was
the poor work that the Poles were threat
ening the lives OF the workmen- This re-
suited In my interviewing all the inspec-
tors and workmen on the different i'm
provements and collecting evidence which
who would not give me any assistance
l have stopped election after election
where the grafters tried to turn West
Hammond into a city. 1 have stopped
rotten paving and been kicked by police
men controlled by the clique and thrown
into Jail and prosecuted by the friends
OF the grafters / have had judgments
against me by judges that were hired by
them. and almost every indiEnity waged
against me. to the naming of the worst
dive here. the Virginia buffet In spite
of the grsfters. / have succeeded in elect
ing 20 office this spring an entire anti
graft ticket. and at the coming meeting
of the board will close down all OF the
notorious dives in West Hammond.
have saved for the Poles nearly 81 900 on
reductions Of overcharged assessments.
l have succeeded In ousting an old clique
who for years had been grating on the
school board, and being elected myself to
the offfce of president. This means that
will introduce into the neglected school
manual training. domestic science. free
night school, free kindergarten, and a
playground.
/ have established a settlement house in
Hammond, Ind. right across the State
line. where the boys and girls have night
classes. and where mothers who work
can take their babies for care. There

of immigrant and unskiIled labor, and
OF trade labor. 1t will urge the govern
ment TO create a reservoir OF labor which
can be tapped to flow where needed. II
will attempt to show how the govern
ment can assist in the proper compensa-
ton of labor by initiating studies in the
comparative value of individual services
and a proper study of the best methods
OF reducing waste of effort and money.
1t will urge the regulation of currency
of the tariff. and the enactment of meas
ures for reducing the cost of living. 1t
will stand for the regulation OF health
in cities by a national bureau of health
And it will demand that not only. should
standards OF safety be established on sea
and land. hut that authority should exist
TO see that those standards are main
tanned"
Great weight has been attached to the
propaganda of the society by reason OF
the large number of influential men asso-
ciated with the movement. Most of its
members are men of great wealth, and
all Of them are closely related to labor
and are in daily touch with the problems
facing the employer and the employc.
Among those who have taken up the
work of the society and are actively
pushing its principles toward fruition are

LUVERNE

A meeting of the representatives OF

in Luverne Tuesday and the question
of church extension was considered,
the present quarters being inadequate.
A proposal was made by the pastor,
to provide for a public rest and read
ing room in the proposed new build.
ing. After a full discussion, Mr.. w
H. Northrop was requested to write to
the Board to see what could be done
by way of a grant and loan. A very
pleasing offer was made by Mr.. Cas-.
sell, of Hope, when he offered two lots
on the main street for the lots already
possessed.
1t is hoped that the above will be
brought to a successful issue. The
idea Of making provision for the resi-
and reading room on the main street
is a good one and worthy of support.

Take Plenty of Time to Eat

There is a saying that "rapid eat
ing is slow suicide" If you have
formed the habit of eating too rapidly
you are most likely suffering from in
disestion or constipation, which will
result eventually in serious illness
unless corrected. Digestion begins
in the mouth. Food should be thoro-
ly masticated and insalivated. Then
when you have a f%ullness of the
stomach OF feel dull and stupid after
eating, take one of Chamberlain's
Tablets. Many cases OF constipation
and stomach trouble have been cured
by the use of these tablets. They are
easy to take and most agreeable in
effect. Sold by all dealers.

Putting Merit Above Party.

President Wilson is giving gratifying
evidences of a disposition to run the
government on a business basis as re-
CARDS the selection Of the personnel OF
his administration. One Of his first APP
pointments was that Of Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Clark, whom Presi-
dent Taft had selected for reappointment.
but whose nomination had failed Of con-
firmation by the Senate. Accompanying
this appointment was that Of Secretary
Marble of the interstate commerce COM
mission. chosen for promotion to the COM
mission itself, obviously an appointment
based upon merit regardless Of political
considerations. Now comes the reap
pointment of DR.. Neili as commissioner
of labor, a most wise selection, thorough
iy in keeping with the spirit of efficiency,
which it is to be hoped is to govern In
the personal assignments of the new ad-
ministration. Postmaster General Burle-
son has shown the same disposition in
the selection of Chief Clerk Chance. long
connected with the Post once Depart
ment, but for some months separated
from 1t on special duty in connection with
the efficiency and economy commission
All of the men who have thus been
named for retention in the government
service are experts in their lines, whose
long experience in government work rem
ders them OF peculiar value, and 1t is
good TO note that the purely partisan
claims to consideration of political work
ers are being ignored in at least these
cases 1t is to be hoped that the Presi-
dent and his cabinet officers will in all
cases give heed to experience and merit
and not merely to party fidelity and ac-
tivity.

which. carry their own. punisiiinents.s This
catastrophe suggests sfrcsh that dyna-
mite IL handled too recklessly In general
and that sufficient precautions arc not
taken to isolate the traffic engaged In its
transportation. In jersey City some
months ago a tremendous explosion of
dynamite resulted from the indifferent
operation of cars, and immense property
damage resulted. Then, after the damage
had been DONE new rules were adopted
to govern the handling of dynamite In
New Jersey. 1t is to be hoped that they
are being followed today, but one can
never be quite sure that these reguia-
lions, based upon common sense and In
spired by tragic demonstrations. are regu-
larly observed after the first excitement
of the mishap has passed.
