CAT OUT OF THE BAG.

(From Cedar Rapids Gazette.)
The cat is out Of the bag at Des
Moines, and it is up to the rats and
mice to scurry for cover. Big hunts
and big times galore soon will be
upon u.s. The senate has ordered
its investigating committee to go
clear down the line in its search for
extravaganza and graft, In addition
to Investigating the organization Of
the assembly Tor wasted dollars sup
piled by. Iowa taxpayers, the COM
mittee now will roam through the
whole capitol building, looking here,
there and everywhere for instances
of useless expenditure and graft
money"
Last fall The Evening Gazette, to-
gether with other Iowa dailies, wish
ed to send John r. Hamilton to Des
Moines as governor for at least two
years. This newspaper campaigned
for Mr.. Hamilton with material
which charged the last administra-
tion with gross extravaganza because
it conscientiously believed Mr.. Ham
ilton, a keen, conservative business
man, would be the individual best
suited to get good government on an
economical basis. Mr.. Hamilton was
defeated, but yesterdays develop.
ments proved that the cause was not
Governor Clarke started things
when he charged the assembly with
grating in it's organization. The as
sembly, through Senator Kimball
of Pottawattamie county, ''came
back" at the governor yesterday
when it ordered a complete investi-
cation of legislative halls and Of
fees as well as of the chambers
wherein meet the two august bodies
themselves. OF course, the extend
ed investigation will be rather a
slap at the gubernatorial administra-
ton, but that does not alter it's signi
ficance one whit. The investiga-
ton is to be made. What does it
matter who caused it or what
brought it about.
If there is any consolation in hon
orable defeat John T. Hamilton
should have it in all completeness
now. His campaign has brought
about an investigation such as never
before has marked any legislative
session in Iowa. Just what will come
Of it would be hard to say, but it
is pretty safe bet that the taxpay-
ers will be furnished with some
mighty interesting information before

EMPLOYER HAS RIGHT TO Dis
CHARGE EMPLOYEE FOR
IL JOINING UNION

Fourteen states and Porto Rico, in
GLIDING the state of Kansas, have
passed statutes which make it I'M
lawful for an employer to discharge
an employee for joining a = labor
union. It has been a vexed ques-
ton for many years whether states
had a constitutional right to enact
such legislation. <'s@ L ,
In q recent decision handed down
by the Supreme Court of the United
States, the question has been defin-
iitely settled against the, validity of
such legislation. The case involved
the validity Of the Kansas statute,
and 1t was declared unconstitutional
and void. ;,s,{e ". 4. 5 g3
III The grounds upon which the court
based its opinion are briefly stated
as follows *, ii 4 s
The individual has no inherent
right to join the union and still re-
main in the employ of one who is
any more than the same individual
the consent Of that organization.
Just as labor organizations have
the inherent and constitutional right
to deny membership to any man who
will not agree that during such men,
bership he will not accept or retain
employment in company with non
union men, and just as a union man
has the constitutional right to decline
yproffered employment unless the en-
splOyer will agree not to employ any
inon-union man, so the employer has
the constitutional right to insist that
the employee shall refrain from af-
] filiation with the union during the
term Of the employment. I'D
There can not be one rule of
liberty for the labor organization or
its members and different and
more restrictive rule for employers"

DEATHS CAUSED BY ACCIDENTS.
While it may not be generally
known it is a fact that. deaths caus-
ed by falls head the list of accident
al deaths.
5 The coroner of the city OF St.
Louis has kept record in $50 cases
Of deaths caused by accidents, and
his record shows that elevators kill

wagon %; machinery %; automo-
biles SO; street railways 81; burns
So; steam railways 81; and falls 154.
or those who fell to their death,
~ fell out of windows; 10 from
buildings; IA to the street; IA to
the sidewalk; 81 to the floor; and
80 down stairs.
In other words, more people are
killed by falling down stairs than are
killed by guns, drowning, gas, wag-
ons or machinery in the city of St.
Louisy and the same is probably true
or approximately true, in the other
large cities Of this country.

MY DADDY'S DEAD,

They tell me that my Daddy's dead,
The other day my Mamma read
A letter that the postman brought,
And then she bowed her pretty head
And cried and cried, an awful lot,
Then took me in her arms and said !;
O, Laddie, Laddie. Daddy's dead.
1 hardly can believe it So
Why, just a little while ago,
He stood with me by Mammals side,
And spoke, SO quiet like, and slow,
While Mamma held his hand and cri,
Until he stopped and whispered low: :
"Our country needs her sons, you
know"
And then he said goodbye" and
took
Me in his arms-my, how they
And Rugged me to his breast "for
keep,
Just like the Shepherd with the
crook
Holds in His arms the little sheep
And Daddy's eyes had just the look
AS has the Shepherd in the book
And just this morning Mamma staid
Upstairs SO long l grew afraid,
Because the house was awful still,
And even when 1 talked or played
1t sounded empty like, until
knelt by Mamma, where she pray
ed,
And on my head her hands she laid
And then I felt it must be true,
And closer to my Mamma drew
Why, we need Daddy just as bad
AS anything we do
For Mammals heart is awful sad,
And something hurts me through and
through
Ny Daddy dead. What will we do?
