LABOR I'm POLITICS, by Rober
Hunter, published by the Socialis
party, National Office, 8O3 w. Madison
St, Chicago. Ill. Paper. Price q
cents prepaid.
1t is hard to write about Robert
Hunters latest book without becom
ing enthusiastic about it. For years
the gulf which has separated the So
cialist and Labor Union movements in
the United States has been the de.
spair of many members sof the Social
list party. The Socialists have often
criticized the attitude taken by the
American Federation of Labor and
its principal officers towards working
class political action. This criticism
has sometimes been more bitter than
it has been intelligent. Robert Hunt
er's criticism, however, is of a differ
ent nature.
With mastery logic, he shows the
untenableness of Mr.. Gompers' posi-
ton. He shows how the political
policy of the American Federation of
Labor has corrupted many of its lead
ers, has robbed labor of some of its
ablest men, and has made the organ
lied labor movement the laughing
stock of the Manufacturers Associa-
ton and its political henchmen. How
absolutely fruitless of results this un-
dignified begging policy has been, he
proves by a comparison of the labor
legislation of some of the countries of
Western Europe, where the workers
enthusiastically support independent
working class political action, with
the labor legislation of the United
States. He quotes Gompers himself as
saying that the United States "is no
less than two decades behind many
OF the European nations in the pro-
lection Of the life, limb and health
Of the workers"
So incisive is Hunters logic that at
dimes. it turns the Federation's policy
into ridicuIe without really aiming to
90 50. Hunter sums up his case as
follows:

ANOTHER UNION REVIVAL
By Rev. Fred Guy Strickland

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
This is a Billy Sunday age. The
Union Revival is one of the social

No scientific student of society can
afford to scoff at it. Rathar he must
study it.. t
The Union Revival is an earnest eff
fort to resuscitate religion. The "com-

CHAPTER *.
II, whinlns Garth.

Hallway ON the march some one
fell down beside me. flung out his
arms, clawed himself tightly to tho
earth, and screamed and gasped
against the soil. Barely half an hour
later We saw another who had fallen
into commissions. And when We were
lying In . damp ditch waiting for the
enemy, . man suddenly jumped Up.
and shrieked. and ran away. He
laughed back ct us from afar until no
vanished from our sight IN the rain.
The shrieking and running away had
infected us all. 'Twont be long before
1t will be your turn.
We were now drawing On our last
reserve. We were stl standing with
our spades in our hands, and throw
ing, with aching backs and arms,

OF us we saw figures passing up and
down ON the gray. twilight Geld. They
were srubbinS the soil up busily. and
were putting something We could not

noiselessly-no incautious step and NO

they came back again and passed us,

KINDNESS. NOT GRATITUDE.

Iowans have right to feel crate
full to the citizens who stepped into
the breach in the interim between
the sessions of its legislature, and
made it possible for an Iowa building
to be dedicated at the Panama Pacific
Exposition in San Francisco Wednes-
day. The legislature might do
better than it has proposed to do SO
far, and not leave payment for this
handsome building burden on the
men whose generosity made it pos
sible.-Davenport Democrat
If there is any tidal wave of graft
tude rushing over Iowa toward the
California building it is doing so very
quietly. The fact is that nobody is
bothering much over it except those
who have been stung for the building.
Perhaps the previous legislature
might have done better TO have made
an appropriation for the Panama ex-
position; but it is to be added in JUS
tice to that assembly that there was
no enthusiasm for such an appropria-
ton except in few sporadic localities
and that the assembly did about what
nine out of ten of the common voters
approved when it turned it down.
This legislature deserves no flashing
for its action on this matter. 1t is true
that considerable pressure was brought
upon it and that this legislature was
justified in looking over the source of
the pressure very carefully.
Appropriations by greater this or
greater that committees after state
legislature has decided against them
are scarcely a good system.
The subscribers to the fund to build
a Panama building never expected to
pay a cent, most Of them. The plan
was freely discussed The idea was
that If sufficient number Of cities and
legislature couldn't stand the pressure
ard would BE forced 70 repair the a.,
legged neglect of the previous one. 1t
is not a good way to make appropria-
tons. This assembly evidently thought
so.
There should be sympathy for the
citizens who now find themselves up
against the buzz saw. If the legis-
lature should see fit to help them out
at the last moment there would be no
serious criticism Of its course Prob
ably the contrary. The thing has been
tried and will not be attempted again.
But if the assembly should conclude to
pay it off it will not be in gratitude
but in kindness.

LET THEM LIVE

It is high time the lawmakers were
desisting from the somewhat busy
body practice Of trying to make every
body have the same kind Of doctor
and to force people to take their medi-
cine from a bottle. Some people be-
lieve they can preserve their health via
Christian Science route and in this free
country they should be permitted to
do SO, as long as they do not insist
upon others following the practice
Others have faith In osteopathy. chiro-
practic, naprapathy. etc. and good re-
suits have been achieved by all these
methods Of healing. Now the house
public health committee Of the Iowa
legislature, hunched by Lord only
knows what influences, recommend
bill for passage that will require Chris
tian Scientists and other healers to
secure a certificate from the state
board Of medical examiners. In order
TO procure this certificate it Will be
necessary that they nave high school
education and have studied for four
years in some reputable college where
their methods of healing are taught
It's all bosh. The healing devices en-
ployed by all practitioners outside OF
the materia medica clan will certainly
do no harm. No drugs are admins
tered and if patient can feel as good
after a good stiff rub along his spinal
column as he does after swallowing
three different colored tablets, what's
the difference? Sensible doctors should
tell some Of their fellow practitioners
to mind their own business.

eE1As sass TO WORK FROM.

Webster City's commercial club re-
fused to pass resolutions asked by the
railroad visitors, So did the Cedar
Rapids club. The Cedar Rapids people
replied that Cedar Rapids and Iowa,
hadn't been getting a fair deal on rates
and refused to boost even in an indirect
fashion the railroad movement looking
to a boost for passenger and freight
rates for the western railways.
The assumption that the railroads
ridiculous except as it is being used
to induce pressure and propagate Pc
tit;ons. The question OF rates is large
" one for the courts. The railroads
have done fairly well before the courts
and the interstate commerce commits
sion in the past. Whence the worry
that they will be crushed and crucided
now? Their fight against the two-cent
fare has been made in the courts main
". The courts are as open to them
in Iowa as in Minnesota or New York.
II Is not fair to assume that the
legislature needs pressure to keep it
from being unfair to the railroads. The
question as it stands is one hard for
a legislature or any other body even
the courts to analyze and pass upon.
The lack is OF proper and satisfac-
tory base to figure from. The rail-
roads have a right to a reasonable re-
turn on their investment as have all
other public utilities. But what Is the
investment? Until a valuation OF the
properties can be made, and such a
valuation should be made at once, how
is any. even the courts to be able to
pass with absolute justice upon the
returns due the railways?
Why is one system practically bank
rupt and the Northwestern magnifi-
cent investment: Rates! Both have
been under thc SAINT rates 20. decades.
Both have run thru equally good ter
ritory
The railroads and every other public
utility should have all that is in justice
coming to them. The public should
have equal justice. And the only way
to arrive at a just conclusion is thru
valuation. Assertion pro or con isn't
sufficient.

Poor roads. unsettled weather of

probably responsible in many markets.
These features contrast with increased

portation question. We have talked
with many Of the great railroad ex-
ports. but It takes small army Of
them combined to make the single
showing that you will find in Thorne
or Stone. It 10 q remarkable thing that
two men from Washington county
who never met until the rate hearing
began should now be the leaders
against all the railroads In the two
greatest fights that have ever been in
issue. Altho one is standing for the
public and the other for the railway
employees. 1t is not surprising to find
them in perfect agreement, because
both have delved deep into the facts.
and both see clearly how Wall street
finance has robbed the people on the
one hand and denied the rights Of the
railway employees on the other. Thorne
and Stone are the two men that have
punctured the tires and wrecked the
machine of high finance in the great
field of American transportation. These
two names are suggestive for the JOB
and our county produced them both.
