The Newark Trades Union Anti
Tuberculosis Association decided at
a meeting yesterday to abandon the
union label store conducted by the
association at Broome street. The
meeting was held yesterday afternoon
in the Bartenders' Home at 63 .Thir-
teenth avenue.
Willard l.. Small, chairman OF the
store committee, recommended that
the store be abandoned, as 1t is re-
ceiving insufficient support from
union men in the city. At his sug-
gestion, it was decided to bring the
matted to the attention of the Essex
Trades Council at the meeting Fri
day night

In December 1910, by Miss Mabel
Craig and Mrs. John Roach, members
of the Hat Trimmers' Union. They
decided to help the sale of goods
bearing a union label in this city
The store was first started on
Washington street and was open
only in the evenings. The project
proved profitable and the receipts.
were turned over to aid in the work
of the Trades Union Anti-Tuberctf-
losis Association. In April of. last.
year the association took over the.
store and opened the present place
in Broome street The store flourish
ed at first but has not been paying
lately.
Arrangements are being made for
the annual reception and dance, of,
the association which will be held at

While We do not feel capable
of advising on the immigration

some course ought to be pursued
that will shut out the scum of

test on immigration, like the
same test on voting, would work
some hardship on some worthy
people who want to come to this
county, as the latter test is hard
and unseemingly unfair to some
natural born citizens, but in the

Word comes from South Amer

demns the Wilson policy which
calls for repeal Of the exemption
Of American shipping from the
payment of tolls for passage
through the Panama Canal. He
also bitterly denounces this ad.
ministration for apologizing to
the little South American repub,
lie of Colombia and the payment
of $25, 100000 to that republic
for the dirty treatment given it
under the Roosevelt administra.

and it is said that true history
will show that Roosevelt melted

the payment Of many millions

In the legislative races SINH
lar situation exists. On the plea
that all the questions which
have made the Independence Of
Independent Democrats neces-
sary haze been settled, made in
spite of the fact that it is known
that lawlessness still exists in
the cities with the connivance
Of the city machines, Indepen.
dent Democrats are being urged
to enter primaries, with the as.
surance that their wishes will be
consulted and their rights re.
spected. In view of their ex.
perience in legislative primaries
two years ago, especially in West
Tennessee, we feel that there
are very few Independent Dem.
ocrats who care to repeat the ex.
pertinent this year. Should the
Independents surrender their po-
sition Of vaotage, and allow
themselves to become entangled
as the tail to the kite of the Reg
ulsrs, they would soon find the
real extent of the so.called ICON.
version" of the Regular Democ.
racy of the state. The Indepen.
dents have won much, and pre-
served much, through the very
fact Of their independence,
which enables them to pick the
best that it offered. These
things should not now be sacri.
feed for any mere personal, 10,
cal or political reason.
In conclusion we wish to urge
upon the Independent Demo.
Gratis the necessity Of securing
men Of the proper calibre to
stand for election to the Legisla.
tgre. Legislative positions are
positions of honor and trust,
when filled by men of honesty
and trustworthiness. The hide.
pendents will often find it nee,
essary to seed their candidates,
and to exercise strong powers of
persuasion in inducing the right
men to come out. Wherever
necessary this should be done
without delay, and strong and
representative candidates gotten
into the field.
We witnessed in the last Leg.
islature notable instances Of In.
dependent Democrats of this
character who consented to make
the race and serve the State,
even at the COST Of personal sac.
rifce. Their example should be
inspirations tp others and should

cy, with their allies iii the cause

THE CANAL TO GRAND LAKE

1t will be noted that owing Il
change in the route of the
Canal. it was necessary TOR the
Board of Trustees to Wlthdra"
the notice Of election authorizing
a bond issue which had been sci
for Nav Goth. to a date which
will be set later, and for several
other improvements necessary
for New Iberia s welfare. The
changing of the route Of the Ba-
YOU Boutte Canal to Petite
Bayou, which will take the canal
from near Loreauville, was just
in the nick of time, otherwise
the citizens of New iberia would
have forever regretted their mis-
take. While we favor the canal
to Grand Lake for the trade that
we will get from those swamps,
we would much prefer seeing the
canal enter the Teche at a point
near the head of Duperier Ave
rue or the Big Jim saw mill sight
than Morbihan the route surveyed
bv Mr.. Kelnper, even though 1t
will cost a few thousand more to
make the cut. If New iberia can
afford to tax itself for CONNER
cial canal let not the difference
Of a few thousand dollars stand
in the way of making it success.
There has been already too many
mistakes made in public matters
and We cannot afford to fritter
our money away. The sentiment
is strong for the canal, though
many of our citizens feel that
were connection made to the
Teche at Clarendon New Iberia
would lose much of the trade it is
now seeking. Aside from the
swamp trade which will come to
New iberia via the canal the rec
lamation of the lands along Petite
Bayou will he worth thousands
Of dollars to New Iberia and we
sincerely hope our people will
give the matter due consideration
when the question Of taxing
themselves is submitted for their
approval. vi. =. 81
