THE H|GH-BROW
SIGN SHOULD
Be REPLACED
BY the Dollar Mark in Political
Reform Organizations,
Says Report.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2O.-Political
reform organizations must Come
down to earth: they must remove
"the sign of the 'high-brow' and sub.
stttute the dollar mark, which alone
apparently, is sufficiently potent to
be effective" according to report to
the National Municipal League today
by its committee on plan of political
organization.
The committee has not completed
its work, and the report Is described
as only tn introductory expression .
1t was prepared by the chairman, A.
Leo We'll. president of the Voters
League of Pittsburg
Too Much Presumption
In part the report is as follows:
"a plan of political organization
which relies for its support upon that
class who have reached the eleva-
ton where they look down upon sell
fishness and are moved solely by al
t-uistic considerations, must fail.
The number is too limited.
1T will not do for the so-called
high brow to inyeigh against the
complacency of the average citizen.
This gets him nowhere It will not
do to assume that all voters are cor
ruptly influenced when they support
political faction. This presupposes
the preponderance of corruption. The
trouble Is, perhaps, that. while tho
one form Of organization follows the
natural instincts Of man, the other ;g-
nores them and relies upon con-
ception Of citizenship as appeals only
to the idealists, the theorists, the pur-
lists and the dreamsrs. A plan Of po-
iittcal Organization, to succeed, to se-
cure the following required to win at
the polls, must be built upon the
handspring OF human action, to-wit:
SELF interest Your committee believes
that 1t can be demonstrated Except
where the contest Is purely person
al between men, not measures), that
In the campaign for good government,
as contrasted with the machine gov
ernment, the selfish interests of the
citizen are at stake. Too, much stress
is laid upon patriotism, civic pride
and the like, and too little upon what
the continuance of poor government
or institutions Of good, means to the
purse and the person OF the individ-
ual citizen"
There was much justification, the
report continued. in the charge that a
large number OF those who were
found among the reformers, so-called
did mot qualify by registration or
other legal formally to exercise the
rights of citizenship, ..the mere voice
Of civic obligation not being loud
enough to call them from their per-
sonal pursuits to the performance OF
their public obligations
\ A general awakening was going on
however, and there was an ever In
creastng number who wanted good
government out Of purely selfish mo-
tiFes.
Appeal for Suggestions.
AS to the financing Of such political
ORGANIZATIONS the report noted the
cleveland plan. and urged that &

ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN.

Will Strikebreakers Strike?-We
don't get all the news from Colorado
in the press dispatches. 1t may be
public interest in the coal strike has
died down since other big news stor-
les have diverted the public mind.
However, find an interesting echo of
the strike in the Denver Express,
which says there is some talk of the
strikebreakers employed by the Colo
RADIO Fuel & Iron Co. (the Rockefeller
concern). striking because of changes
which materially decrease the earn
lngs of non-union miners.
The story says company officials
believe they are safe from such a
strike, because the strikebreakers
would starve if they leave the mines,
unless they got the benefit of union
relief funds. Union officials have re-
fused to accept as member of the I'M
ion many strikebreakers who have
applied for membership at Trinidad
and Walsenburg, saying they can't
afford to care for the families of men
who went there to help crush union
ism.
This should be a lesson to strike
breakers, but it probably won't be.
These men were imported at high
wages for the purpose of helping the
coal trust crush unionism and starve
union miners into submission and
slavery.
Now the strikebreakers find that
they are slaves and must remain in
slavery, because they have no right to
appeal to their own class-the work.
ing class for relief.
The working class has no love for
them, and the employing class don't
ever respect them. What pitable
slaves!
When will workers learn that they
all belong to one class, and that there
can be profit, no happiness, no COM
fort, no life worth living, when they
become tools of their enemies in the

LETTERS TO EDITOR
ADVICE TO THE PARENTS OF
LAST CHANCE" BOYS

Editor Day Book:-No parent can
expect boy to be truthful if the boy
finds that the parents do not keep
faith with him.
Making a promise merely to hush
some insistent boys voice, or to en-
able the parent to escape giving the
boy what he asks for, is not good for
the boy nor you unless you can keep
your promise.
After boys have been disappointed
two or three times they will put no
faith in their parents word and will
begin to feel that they, too, can make
promises merely to be obliging.
Above all else, remember that boys
are trained by example.
You should be more than careful
how you rashly promise when you
know it is impossible to perform.
Be real if you want your boy to be
real. You are only fooling yourself
when you try to fool a boy.
