THE UNIONS SURVIVE.
ICedar Rapids Gazette


Wiseacres have ofttimes preached
the funeral sermons OF the labor un-
ions. But the labor unions, clad in the
arinor OF right, will never shield their
swords In battle so long as inequality
prevails in the ranks of workin gmen,"
So said Pat Morrissy, long time
grand master of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, to vast con-
course of fellow workers in conven ton
assembled years ago in New Orleans.
Many wiseacres who used to preside
at imaginary funeral rites over the re-
mains OF organized labor have passed
on to their uncertain reward and blu,
few OF their kind relnafnH The trusts,
which were responsible for whatever
Of abuse Of power the unions ever en-
ployed, by virtue Of exam pie and do
minion, themselves are being inferred
with fitting monies.
And organised labor still thrives and
will continue to do so, body of mar
Vicious and growing strength.

4 cus1om TO CULTIVATE,

The president. talking to the press
club bunch the other day. made hit
win his humanness. It was confess
sion. He let the men who were list
ening see him as he is. It was good
Tor president and people. We have
sized Wilson up mainly as a cold
FLOODED thinking machine, and pecul-
iarly made up. His plain talk brought
MIN nearer the people than he has ever
been. If he keeps on folks will begin
to like him for himself.
He said something when he told his
listeners. If am silent it is to avoid
error It's an excellent way to avoid
a mistake at that. OF course it isn't
new but some Of the best things said
are repetitions. 1t is equivalent to the
old adage that "a closed mouth catches
no flies Homely advice but good.
The president when he isn't sure Of
his ground keeps his mouth shut until
he knows where he is at. He is doing
we'll at his job. It is one of the secrets
OF his success.
One Of the current events" adapted
to general reading in the school, at
home and elsewhere is the confession
OF President Wilson which amounts to
this: Keep your mouth shut until you
know where you are. at and then say il
and stand pat.

Why Gardens Fail.

Every man with available land

could have nice little garden plot in
The city has one. Almost everybody
In the suburbs has both lawn, flowers
and vegetable garden.
The fascination Of this delightful
pastime 10 amply demonstrated by tho
tact that so many people make gar
lens every year and yet the majority
Of these gardens are failures to .
greater or less degree. They start
out beautifully, with the warm, fresh
mellow earth turned over from its
winters rest, and the little delicate
seedlings following tho warm rains.
The first crops. small things Ike
radishes and lettuce, develop fairly
well and the gardener puts in his
late crops with great expectations.
When the hot, dry weather Of late
June and early July arrives the plants
begin to shrink and shrivel. They
turn brown and enter into kind Of
dormant state, neither advancing nor
retreattng. worthless - food pr0vld-

The two great causes Of garden
failures are lack Of proper cultivation
and lack Of available plant food. In .

BooTLEeeIhe IN COUNCIL BLUFFS.

Council Bluffs has twenty nine sa :
looms in saloon town. The saloons
are there with the approval of the city,
They pay their 711ulct. Altogether the
situation at at Council Bluffs may be
offered as typical Of liquor regula-
best. And then what happened?
The other day preparatory to the
city election the republicans in con-
vention passed certain resolutions.
Among them was one dealing with
the liquor traffic in the city. 1t dep
recated Illicit liquor selling and
pledged the putting down OF blind pigs
and bootleggers that seem to be run
ming rampant. 1t recited the fact that
the Legitimate saloonist' pays for the
privilege and should be protected
against the bootlegger and the Illicit
dealers.
This is cited for the benefit Of those
who still assert and some of whom be-
lieve that the saloon prevents Illicit
sales Of liquor. 1t isn't matter OF
fact that the saloon does this. On the
contrary it is a proven proposition tina,
it does not. The larger traffic under
legal privilege simply overshadows the
bootlegging. If the druggists were t
be polled they could probably say tha
they sold more liquor when the saloons
were running in towns that have gone
dry than since the saloons have beer
closed.
Merely as part Of the testimony In
the trial now in progress before the
American people let us introduce
Council Bluffs, with twenty nine sa-
looms where bootlegging is an issue In
