MOVE TO STRENGTHEN
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS

New York. Aug. 2s.--A move-
ment has been Instituted to strengthen
all labor organizations in the country
afflliated with the American Fedora
ton. At the same time the joint board
OF the Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-
gineers and the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen have issued call to
all local bodies OF engineers and hre-
men In New England urging the for-
nation. Of most powerful labor union
to be called the Industrial Labor Union,
through which the Individual brother
hoods may become stronger to fight
for better working conditions and
hours
President Gompers. OF the American
Federation announced an intensive orr
ganizing movement" today to increase
to three million the number of or
tries. Among the steps already taken
planned. were New England labor
movements that are about to be start
ed in Meriden Conn. and the campaign
OF United Mine Workers Of American
for increased organisation.
The movement of the locomotive en-
gineers and firemen Is based on the
belief that. the joint board has failed
to protect Its members through not
keeping abreast of industrial progress
No effective steps have been taken. IL
is felt, to arrest Injustice on the men
who depend on these crafts for liveli-
hood.
1t is the intention Of thesjoint board
to hold the present bodies together. to

tion and to extend the organization.

How to Develop New Morality.

George Santayana. defining classic
liberty In The New Republic. says il
was not unrestricted license. but lib
erty to develop solid body of social
custom. He goes on:
Since those days we have discov-
cred how much larger the universe Is
and we have lost our way in It, Any
day II may come over us again that
our modern liberty to drift In the
dark is the most terrible negation Of
freedom. Nothing happens TO us as
we would. We want peace and make
war. We need science and obey the
will to believe, we love art and
founder among whimsicalities, we be-
lieve in general comfort and equality
and we strain every nerve to become
millionaries
After all, antiquity must have
been right in thinking that reasona Bile

determinate character and konwing

But the truth is not to be found by
guessing at 1t. as religious prophets

made the arrest and charged the
couple with improper conduct, and
presented the evidence in court. The
case was promptly dismissed.
The officers also arrested the pro-
prietor of the shop, but on his plea
that he had left the building and was
ignorant OF what took place in his abb
sence. the court dismissed the charge
of maintaining a disorderly house.
which was brought against him.
The result of this case confronts the
police force with a sharply drawn
issue What is necessary in the shape
of evidence TO secure conviction in
such cases? There does not seem any
way, in which more complete case
could be prepared, save in very re-
ma rkable and almost impossible In
stance. There are very great powers
vested in the courts as regards the
acceptance OF evidence, and great care
should be taken to have the evidence
always full but the extreme rarity Of
instances in which convictions have
been secured in Richmond in cases OF
this character make il evident that
such evidence as appears TO be de-
manded impossible to secure.
The police must persevere in their
efforts TO enforce the law thoroughly,
adequately, completely. The result of
the cases they bring does not relieve
them Of the responsibility OF doing
their duty, but some means most en-
piaticalIy should be found of arriving
at a knowledge of what Is considered
necessary to convict on charges of
this nature. 1t is all very well to give
individuals the benefit OF the doubt,
but Il is all very wrong for society at
large to pay the s1eavy penalties that
1t has had TO pay to spare embarrass-
ment to individuals. Each weakening
OF the law is weakening of the whole
fabric of society.

One of the greatest oiiEtac;es IN the

really tries 10 do els duty and TO en-
force the laws o: the State against
vice, ia the exacting demands made In
eourt for the sort Of testimony whist1

.iufeiy impossible. TO secure in such
cases. This fact is recognized in the
laws on this subject. IN which ii is
provided that in cases against houses
suspected OF hardening persons who
indulge in improper practices the
general reputation of the place may be
testified TO in court as part OF aae
charge against the place. And even
yet, when officers go into court with
eases prepared as carefully and fully

In Police Court Friday there was
tried a case which illustrates tais point
very Eorcibly. That case was very
conclusive one to the view of a great
many people, but the court refused to
faka that view and dismissed the
charges.
The evidence presented at that trial
was of a most convincing nature. A
couple 1.-THE woman married woman)
were seen by police officers to enter
tbs bedroom In the rear of small
shcpkeeper ON West Broad Street. The
si,opkeeper was seen to leave; the
lights In the place were extinguished.
The police officers approached the
window OF the bedroom. threw a light
into the room. observed the couple In
a most compromising situation, indi-
eating intentions of an illegal and i'm
moral cs1ara otter, and observed them
sTun from the room TO escape the Of

entirely too soft-hearted. Let pun

serves repeating. but that the after
math causes reflection that comment

lish papers display a rather remark

actually speaks a kind word for Or.
Bethmann- Hoilweg, and is hearty in
its praise of the American victory. In
part this papers comment Is:
THE submission of official
Germany TO the United States de-
rnands is n fact of historic impor-
lance, involving at least recogni-
ton of the force of public opin-
ion and In 80 far justtfies Presi-
dent Wilson's patient diplomacy.
IF this really has been accom-
plished, the President has struck
shrewd blow for peace in other
continents than America. II the
United States can impose condi-
lions and limitations on Ger
many's war methods. other ma
tons can do the same. and Ger
many's claim to be her own judge
in such matters is once and for
all battered.
There In not the slightest rea-
son to suppose that MIR. Won Beth
mann Hollweg sanctioned this at
tack upon the Arabic or desired
to acerbate the relations with
America. The sinking of the
Arabic may be assumed to have
been the malignant trick of his
opponents, the Tirpitzites, plan
ned as much to embarrass him as
to drive America to action"
There may be Americans who do
not appreciate what a remarkable
their government has
won. 1t is one of those victories of
peace which far outshine the bloodiest
triumphs OF war, and which have
brought so many thoughtful persons
to realize that honor is not entrusted
alone to those who trust in force of
arms. but with those whose cause is
righteous and whose determination TO
prosecute that cause on it's merits is
