New York City took occasion one day
to investigate the cause for 50 many
men being in the line They found
that almost 1900 were college gradu-
ated, some holding high degrees but
they had all hit the booze route. Booze
is the greatest foe of either organized
or unorganized labor.
when Adolphus Busch, the million
aire st. Louis brewer, died the dis
play Of cut flowers and floral designs
cost 100000. A New York newspa-
per in commenting on that fact said
This is what makes Socialism.
Profit Of Business.
The liquor business is one in which
there are less people employed, ac-
cording to the money invested. There
are fewer people employed per $1,000
invested than in boot and shoe bust
ness.
Most insurance companies have re-
fused to grant policies to saloon keep
ers. bartenders, or wholesale liquor
men because they are not a good risk.
The old idea that booze made man
live longer is ridiculous or the insur-
ance companies would not declare
against saloon people as poor risks.
"The ministers are. the longest lived
people" 1t is a hard thing to kill a
preacher
IF Secretary of State William len
nings Bryan would run for president
on a "Saloonless America platform
I myself would vote for him I think
thar when he stood up in diplomatic
circles and said that according to the
suctoms of his parents and his wife's
parents and the fact that he had been
reared an abstainer that he would not
violate those facts just because he
was in a position where it is known
that wines and liquors are used to a
certain extent. That man has done
more for countrywide temperance
than a large number of other people
who have been working for years"

CHINA IS RAPIDLY
 BECOMING CIVILIZED

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2S.-- Speaking here before meeting of Methodist ministers, .Dr. N. w. Brew ster, a missionary of Hing-Wha, Flu kien province, southern China, assert dthat China is rapidly advancing toward a prominent position among the highly civilized nations of the world. He said e ina is taking am bitiously to world movements, has gained an understanding of the neces- sity of respecting modern commercial values of credit, and that men of mod ern thought and education are di- recting it's development. The change in the press of the people, improve ment in foods and in other condi- tions of living were emphasized by the speaker as evidence in support of his contention, and he said that by the adoption of these modern meth ods China was becoming an import ant factor in the worlds markets.

CALIFORNIA LEADS
 IN AUTOMOBILE USE

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2S.-On a basis of population California leads any section of the United States in the ownership of automobiles. The latest figures, compiled under the new automobile law, show that in this state one person in every 27 is the owner of a motor car In New York state only one person in every 89 is the owner of an automobile. The figures which establish the lead of California in auto ownership are for motor cars that are actually in com mission, with no duplication and are taken from the registration, which to date shows 94718 cars in the state. The New York total, figured from the end of 1913, and adding the nor nal percentage of increase each month, would show the Empire state to have about 10000 machines in actual commission. In table brought to an appropriate total in each state to date by adding the percentage of growth, it is shown that next to Cali fornia the greatest per capita ratio is Nebraska, where one in 37 persons own automobiles.

TIPS REALLY DON'T GO TO TlP-
 TAKERS.

Orders just issued by the Railroad Commission of California, requiring the Pullman company within thlrty days to change in many respects the methods of operating it's cars in that state are particularly interesting be- cause of what the commissioners nave to say about the plan of making the travelling public supplement with tips the meagre salaries paid to the port CTS. As this practice is by no means confined to the Pullman company, put is followed by most employers, in corporated or other, the business Of whom involves the necessary render ing of services more or less distinct ly personal, the vigorous language used in the commissions report on the results of it's investigations might we'll start anew general discussion Of what is undoubtedly an obnoxious and variously harmful system.
 Of the attempts made by the Pull man officials to prove that they paid adequate wages and did not expect their employees to exact money from travellers, the commissioners say: "It is hard for us to determine which should be criticised the more, the at titude of the company in this regard or it's suppositions that it could make this commission believe thing which everybody knows is not true" They declare it unquestionable that the services rendered by the porters are exactly proportioned to the generos- ity of the tips given or expected, and that women travelling alone, because they are known to tip less "gener- ously" than men, receive the aid of the porters least or not at all.
 Such are the natural-indeed, the evitable-workings of the tipping system wherever it exists. Always it develops servility and the rapacity in those forced to live on gifts instead of wages, and it trains to selfishness
 
 who are in effect compelled to buy for themselves an extra share of attention and service that should be equally distributed With things as they are, we must all do this, not only in Pullman cars, but in hotels, restaurants, and on steamships, and, curiously enough, the higher the reg ular or avowed charges in such places, the lower are the wages paid and the fiercer the hunt for tips.
 Of course, if people were only will ing to endure brief period of in convenience, they would need no help from state or other officials in abol- ishing the tip in all it's forms. But they are not, and so the miserable abuse goes on.--Ex.

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COMMISSION OPENS
INOUIRY-NEW CODE FOR EMPLOYERS

lINOOlk NEW COB
BY gibson GARDNER
Washington, D. c., May 1s.-l
Quietly, almost noiselessly, but none
the less certainly, the machine Great
ed by congress in 1912, and which be-
came effective only last October,
known as the Industrial Relations
Commission, is moving to a frontal
attack on the most momentOus 5hu-
man question of the hour.
That question is:
Why is industrial war?
Why is Colorado, Michigan, West
Virginia, Lawrence. Patterson?
Why is the hop-pickers' riot?
Why is the l. w. w?
Why is John D. Rockefeller, Jr.?
Why do the few grow >Tich and
ever richer, while the many grow
relatively poor and ever poorer?
Beginning today in New York, the
Industrial Commission will hold a
series of carefully planned hearings
which will include every large in
dustrial center in the United States.
After spending four weeks in New
York, the commission will probably
go to Patterson, N. J., and Philadel-
phia. Following these will be Bos-
ton, Buffalo, Indianapolis, Cleveland,
Chicago, and so on west to the coast.
The program at New York is typi-
cal of the lines of inquiry. Three
days will be given to employment Of
fees and unemployment; two days
devoted to the activities of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, the So
cialist Party and the Industrial
Workers of the World; one day to
state mediation and arbitration of
industrial disputes; following these,
special inquiries into the building
trades of New York city, industrial
education, apprenticeship, and the
administration of child labor laws;

BE S~TEADFAST.

Do not be alarmed because you
heard that some one said something
not complimentary about you. Peo-
pie have always said ugly things
about those who struggle to be, and
are achieving something; those
against whom there is nothing said,
anre negligible quantities-people
talk about those who are doing good.
You go ahead, like the ancient philo-
sopher, who, when he was asked by
an apparent friend, who really de-
sired to help the old sage, whot he
could do for him, replied: please

the words which are found in the

None but the Negro soul can sing the
Negro melodies. Not only must one
possess the Negro soul TO sing the
Negro melodies, but he must live over
again the life of the slave.
The college bred Negro, whose
mother bears on her back the mark
of the slave drivers whip, must be-
come a slave, and feel on his own
back the blood run down until he can
say I have been cow-hided with my
mother until the blood ran down
then, and not until then, will he be
able to appreciate what the fathers
and mothers meant when they sang,

that produced these melodies, for 9th

Extents transpiring every day

that the first permanent step

long as the rank and file con-
tinue to stand apart from their

fessionals, pust so long will we
be ignored as a factor in the re-
public. When we come to the
point wherein we patronize and
support our own mechanics,
