LOOK TO OURSELVES. - Most
American people are interested in
and in sympathy with the people of
Europe. Better look for our own in
terest! We have industrial war right
now. In this land of liberty work
ingmen are getting killed in fac
tories and mines thousands each
year; workingmen are beaten up for
asking for living wage.
Who sympathizes with them?
Who is fighting in the European war
now? Workingmen are killing one
another because they are from diff
ferent nations, speak different Ian
guage. If all the soldiers would lay
down their guns and let the ignorant
kings and czars fight the war would
be settled very quickly. The capitalist
class makes them believe they are
fighting for their country, while they
are making millions. They should
worry how long the war lasts as long
as they make the dough!
It is time for the workingmen to
wake up and vote for principle that
don't believe in war Vote for prin-
ciple that stands for a living wage.
a principle that believes that a per-
son has no right to live on other
mems labor-that is Socialism's
stand for all.-Robert RosenbIitt.
MISTREATING POULTRY.-Ih have
often wondered why it is there is so
little attention paid to the way folks
have of handling poultry. In the
summer they are packed into tight
coop, put in the hot sun without a
drop of water, to live or die, as it may
happen.
The day book., 1915-11-26

In the winter time they are left
out on the sidewalk in front of
butcher shops until II o'clock at
night, in the coolest of weather,
sometimes with one tied by the foot
on top of a coop. And l know of
butchers who leave them in those
small coops after they are taken into
the basement. l think it is dis
grace to civilization the way they
are treated. Why, people have be-
come so callous as to laugh at per-
son who expresses sympathy for
them. If any one else has this sub
ject at. heart, please let me hear
from them.-Mrs. Lathrop, 1888 S.

SELF DEFENSE AND PREPARA-
TION.-There is difference between
self-defense and preparing for trou-
BILE. We have no occasion to prepare
for war as far as l can learn and we
will have no war if our president and
other great minds will continue to
use the proper diplomacy.
Do you think this country is the
only country that will prepare for
war, and don't you know that other
countries have as much show to pre-
pare as well as we if not better and
that war with other countries
would last long time and perhaps
not end in our favor? When coun-
tries quit preparing for war we will
have no war and something better
will take place.
Governments worth fighting for
will manage to work for the good of
the people and will maintain peace.
Preparing for war will never give us
such governments.
Do not say man is not a good
citizen or that he is unpatriotic be-
cause he wishes to see his country
and the world do away with this
damnable rot, preparedness and war.

had been removed from a Dutch
vessel, America bound, by British

Elgin's cable gave no reason for

clvIIIzatIon,s onward March.

Progress is like the insidIous
change from youth to old age, except
that progress does not mean decay.
The change that is almost impercep-
tible and yet memorable is much the
same, however. You will see a COM
munity apparently changeless as the
years pass by; and yet, when the
years have gone and you look back,
there has been a change. 1t is not the
same. 1t never will be the same. It
can pass through further change, but
il cannot go back Men look back,
sick sometimes with longing for the
things that we're and that can be no
more: they live the old days In mem
ory-but try as they will they may
not go gack. With intelligent. persis-
tent effort they may retard further
change considerably, but that is the
most they can hope to do. Civiliza-

JOHN G: DUFFY
Explains Why He Withdrew For
Attorney General.

To Democrats:
IL regret to say that for reasons
which are purely personal, 1 determ-
ined that could not afford the sac
rifices necessary in successful race
for the nomination for attorney gen.
eral, and for that reason, decided
not to continue in the race. : | retire
from the race for attorney general
with no feeling of bitterness, but
with the greatest hopes for the sue.
cess of our party in November.
"The practical unanimity Of the
Republican party in their recent plat
form convention, and the acceptance
of the county unit platform by the
statewide element in that party, is
conclusive proof that further discus
sion of that question in the Demo-
cratic party at this time should be
eliminated. The Democratic party is
responsible for good government in
this state, and its success should not
be jeopardized by warning factions.
or subordinated to the ambition of
individuals seeking nominations.
When the people of the state desire
any radical change from present
laws, they will demand it through
their regularly constituted represen-
tatives in the general assembly and
the Democratic party can be depend
ed on to carry out their wishes. This
is no time 10 rock the boat, as it is
said, in the state or in the nation and
the result in Kentucky this year
should not be jeopardized by bitter
discussions or by warning factions,
as the result in Kentucky this year
will have very material effect on
the result in the nation next year.
Thanking my friends throughout
the state for their earnest support,
my only wish now is for the success
of the party in November.

TIPS AND WAGES.

| The excuse for toleration of the tip
ping system has commonly been that
walters, porters, and other servants
are paid such low wages that they
must have liberal tips in order to live.
With this in view, many men nova
days in city restaurants hand out a
half dollar tip. The travelling sales
man or impecunious traveller who
cant play the game ON this level is
subjected to many annoyances.
Pullman sleeping car porters testi-
flying before the Industrial Relations
committee the past week, reported
very liberal wages as the result Of the
tipping system. One man said that
his salary was $4,000 month, and
his tips averaged $500. Other cases
were similar.
The average man employed in Pull
man car porter work throughout the
country could not probably earn $1l7
a month in other employment, A fre-
quent result is that by flattering and
obsequiously waiting on wealthy peo-
pie. while neglecting others. they win
a wage above the average level. Thus
they gain money at the cost of loss
Of independence.
If the tipping system were held
down TO a reasonable level. it would
not always increase the cost of travel
If all the customers of the average
hotel should at once stop tipping. the
hotel managers would have TO increase
wages. Probably then-th would in
crease prices.
But the tipping system annoys the
public with growing size of tips, feel
ing that they are victims of graft.
yet bothered by the fear of being un-
fair to work people. The man with
the threadbare clothes is sighted and
sneered at, while the one with the
costly tailored suit is fawned upon. Il
is undemocratic and contrary TO
American principles.
The tipping system thrusts on the
traveller services which he would
prefer to perform for himself If he

to the station, he is made to feel that

A BuRpENED PEOPLE.

4 According to a count made in the

was the vast mass Of decisions of

And yet ignorance Of the lawn a

In our day OF statute making by the
rapid-fire process, Thomas Jefferson
would have found greater reason than

governed best that is governed least,
and for opposing multiplicity Of laws
/ Not the least discouraging feature Of
lit all is that our statesmen of the

statutes Their efforts to make man |
over and thrust into him thousand
virtues by means of the policenIan's
club, seem to be omineusly fore
shadowed by Mrs Pankhurst's confes-
sion that women want the ballot in
order to make men chaste." 1t may
be confidently expected that women,
more than men, will become addicted
to the habit Of making new laws
aimed at every evil or Inconvenience
in sight. thus adding enormously toi
