AN IMPORTANT RULING.

Grant Fellows, attorney general Of
Michigan, has made ruling that the
act OF the 1913 legislature providing
for the election in the primaries of the
members of party state central COM
mittecmen is imperative because of
it's own provisions. The only thing TO
be done. he says, is to pay no atten-
ton To il and elect state central MEM
bers as heretofore, in the regular fall
party conventions.
This ruling will be welcomed by the
ninety odd men who are members of
the Republican. Democratic and Bull
Moose state central committees. Most
of them have grown dizzy in the last
few months trying 10 figure out how
they were going TO obey the law and
still be able To stage their various
campaigns and conventions.
The Republican state central COM
mittee is the only one that has tackled
the problem in open meetings. The
members found that the more they
tried 10 figure things out the more
tangled their ideas became. so they re-
ferred the matter To a special law
committee The later couldn't dope
things out and finally put il up TO the
legal head of the state, Mr.. Fellows.
Now he rules that the new law is no
good.
Here are a few of the problems that
faced the men who tried to figure out
they would obey the 1913 law and
still get the campaigns started:
Under the primary law the existing
state central committees are required
10 issue call, at least 30 days before
the primaries, for fall conventions to
name candidates FOR secretary of state
and other Offices. This command was
not changed by the new law that di-
rected the election Of state central
committeeman in the primaries yet
the new law directed that the conVen-
ton calls must be issued by the pri-
tees passed July % without issuing
convention calls they would be violat-
ing the direct mandate of the pri-
mar, law; if they issued their calls
they would conflict with the new law.
Then, state chairmen are required
by the new law TO summon the men
elected in the August primaries 10 an
organization meeting within ten days
after the primaries. The men elected
are not officially elected until the state
toard OF canvassers meet and an
nouuce their elections, issuing certii-
Gates 10 those chosen at the polls. The
canvasscrs have 20 days after the pri-
maries 60 do this. and it is generally
IS days after the primaries before
they hold their session, because the
entire state vote is not available be-
fore that time.
How the state Chairmen could sum-
mon men elected" TO attend n meet
ing FIVE 10 ten days before their cleo
ton is certified TO is the point that
stumped the attorney general more
than any other

nullify such rulings by securing at

We believe that on the whole IL is

business interests should have undue
influence in legislative han or court
room. il is no less intolerable that
trades unionism should have such in
nuence, and To say the least Mr.. Com
pers was indiscreet in making his
boast. II is impossible that the rank

such of them as may be American cit

incidental To the latter. General edu-
cation. at least, that part of il that is
given during the first six years, which
we all call elementary education is, so
far as the state is concerned but the
beginning Of an education, the whole
of which is the making of efficient So
cial units. And an efficient unit of So
ciety must have a vocation and To be
most efficient that unit must be trained
in some way, either in public schools
or at private expense. through Voca-
tional experience or by means Of a
combination of these. Elementary edu-
cation is then, from this point Of view,
the foundation of "a structure ahich IL
essentially vocational, And it Is, or
ought to he, just as fundamental to
success i'm the vocations connected
fessions, and, in fact far more so, if
there must he a difference. because of
the greatness of the majority of stu
dents who go into industries. But
whether we regard elementary eduCa-
ton as chiefly "A means to vocational
ends or not, the fact of vocational
end in public education as "a whole
seems evident.
Greater emphasis on vocational ele-
ments in education need not cause any
sacrifice i'm the total cultural effect. on
the contrary it will tend to raise the
general average of culture, Cd because
it will keep pupils in school longer and
CD because the vocation may, for many
students, become the most effective
focal center around which "a broad ed
uCaton may be gathered. There are
two roads to "a broad culture-one by
way of a course that is general from
| the beginning to the end, the other by
| a narrower, vocational course which, II
pursued long enough. is bound To lead
into paths covering the broad field. The
! best vocational education, then, is also
| cultural and the best cultural educa-
/ ton may come through training that
| in fundamentally vocational.
| Coming now to the question befor,
us. we may say that insofar as voca-
tional education is economically profit
able to city, state or nation, il is
justifiable, but as a matter of course
1t should not take the place of any
fundamental education that is NOR,
profitable.

eUTTE's LABOR MONOPOLY is
THREATENED

The labor monopoly in the Butte
camp is seriously threatened. More
than two thousand men, who have
tired of the yoke, have set out TO free
themselves from the Western Fedora
ton of Miners. They are through con-
tributing TO strikes of which there is
no possible chance of winning, donat-
ing To the fat salaries of agitators and
officers and sacrificing their independ-
encc as American workmen.
The Western Federation of Miners
has long dominated the Butte min
ing district. II has held the whip
hand over labor, which has had 10 do
its bidding like So many sheep. The
working man has been compelled TO
pay hundreds of dollars to further
the ORGANIZATIONS campaigns for the
extension of its power in other camps.
Butte has been the goat; it has paid
heavily. II has feathered well the
nests of the federation officials.
The Butte miners contributed over
two hundred thousand dollars TO the
copper country strike. And since the
strike was declared off, assessments
have continued some men paying as
high as eight 10 ten dollars per month.
The heavy drain upon them was an
absolute waste. There was no ncces-
sity for il. 1t was a needless, unjust
strike. II was money thrown away.
II was money which was needed by
the families Of the Butte miners and
properly belonged there. These heavy
Ieyles are cause of the present Sc
cession from the federation. The
Butte miners know now that they We're
duped; that the rosy reports from fed
Grafton sources during the Michigan
strike were far from the truth; that
the strike was hopeless from it's very
inception. This dissension i'm the
ranks is but natural result of a
righteous indignation.
During the progress of the
strike I'M this district The News
laid stress ON the fact that the West
ern Federation of Miners sought a
monopoly of labor here, just as ii has
in Butte. so il would have an addition

T.. {. Shields, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state central committee, states
that the opinion OF Attorney General
Fellows that members of the state CEN
trail committee could not be chosen at
the primaries, would make no differ
ence to him.
Speaking for myself personally"
declares Mr.. Shields. Il would not
change the system Of selecting the
members of the committee back to
the old caucus system unless the
supreme court passed upon the law
and conceded with the views of Mr..
Fellows. Not that | want To he quoted
as disagreeing with the attorney gem
eral, but | think we should follow the
latest law on the subject unless the
court DEGREES otherwise"
While MIR. Shields was very en-
phatic in saying that he spoke only
for himself, il il pretty sure bet
that the state central committee would
take whatever course he adjudged cor
rect, for not only is he the state chair
man, but he has acted as chief adviser
To the committee.
While the decision of the attorney
general was a surprise, in that no one
was aware the question of the validity
of the law in question had officially
been put up To him. it has been current
talk about the capitol for several weeks
that the provisions of the statute were
going to be hard To follow.
