LABOR UNION FACTOR
ON NATURALIZATION

In order to determine the position
or the labor union as a factor in
characterization it is necessary that
we define the qualities which distin-
gu1sh the United States from other
countries. What is meant by the
term "Americanization?"
characterization, if it means any
thing, means something peculiar to
our country, something denied to
other countries. The influence Of the
labor movement in this connection
depends upon it's relation to the pecu-
liar attributes Of our national life and
the extent to which it conforms to
these attributes.
We speak of the United States as
the land Of liberty" And so it il.
But liberty is of various kinds. Some
kinds Of liberty may be, and in fact
are enjoyed by other lands in equal,
It not larger degree than in our own
land. In what respect is the liberty
enjoyed by the American people pre-
eminent over that of other peoples?
IT we would find the true answer to
this inquiry we must seek it in the
motives that impel men to leave their
motherland-to sever the ties of fam
lily life. to pull loose from every asso-
citation that the heart holds dear
and seek fortune in a new land and
amid strange surroundings.
The answer may not in all cases be
as clear as we would wish. The new
conner may not be able to describe in
so many words the motives that have
actuated him. Indeed, there may
exist in his mind an apparent conflict
of motive which he is utterly unable
to reconcile with the facts of his case.

ANOTHER RUSE.

The dyestuffs makers are in new dilemma. They
have received word from Berlin that huge combination
of all the big dye makers of whose plants
being used for making explosives has been formed to
capture the dye business Of the world the
is over and there is hue and the peril of
dumping cheap dyes in America.
Instead of making redoubled efforts to make the best
dyes at the lowest prices there mad scramble
American manufacturers to get to Washington and in
form makers great industry threatened
The call for a tariff becomes long and clamorous.
If there is danger of dumping. congress should
be ready with the proper safeguards. However, con-
should not be stampeded into iconsidered and
hasy action just because American manufacturers
may be "seeing things" They have sounded number
of false alarms before Their greatest need is self
lance.

OLD FRIEND or MINE

Old friend Of mine, if you shall cross
the tide
Before my bark lets go,
You watch for me upon the other
side;
You watch and wait with Him, our
Peerless Guide,
If first you cross the tide.
Old friend Of mine, if you shall learn
the way
Before I hear the call,
You whisper through the misty maze
some day
The password that is best for me to
If first you learn the way.
Old friend Of mine, from battlements
on high,
If yonder first you stand,
Wave back some message you may
cheer us by,
And spur us on to dare to do or die,
From battlements on high.
Old friend of mine, if you shall see
the King
Before I kiss his hand,
Watt back to me some strain that
there you sing,
Some note to still this longing, won
dering,
IF first you see the King.

contrast to the gittering generaties of the Republ

THE UNION LABEL

You may be 'live wire union man,
A leader-and of the best
But you aren't the kind that have in mind
Unless you can pass this test:
You may be light in your union bright
But, still, were you ever so able
The test depends upon whether you are
Out strong for the UNION LABEL.
For the laisers factor in Labor's fight,
In the struggle that mankind is making,
10 free the world from the curse of greed
And the toll that Industry is taking
In overWOrked women and underpaid men
And children in sweatshop and mill
It's q badge Of honor and honest worth
And its motto is "SAVEY' not KILL"
The fellow who's out for the label strong
May neither be bright nor clever
But he's wise to the fact that each one Of
us can
Count for something in Labor's endeavor:
And place him beside our greatest men
M For the work he is doing to enable
me toilers to prosper and gain in strength
By boosting" the UNION LABEL!
-P. J: Doyle in Tho Carpenter.

WINNING FULLER RECOGNITION.

The change and the increase in the activities OF the

that percees her best chances for selling upon
little freedom. In the past few of China's
political agitation the of that country travelled

THE MEXICAN MATTER.

The dispatches from the Mexican border do not seem
to justify the hysteria that has INDUCED in
quarters Threats of danger have made it advisable
to call out practically all Of the National guard to protect
the border. and the possibilities are Enthusiastically
grave 1t is to be remembered however, that some of
the guard had already been called and at the time of
it's sending it freely said that the rest might follow
The nation erventy hopes and prays that there will be
no war Mexico with whose shepherdless people we
have quarrel those people would suffer as they
have already suffered from dsunon and lack of wise

HE STRUCK AT THAT

Mike was employed as handyman
at one of the local shipyards. On
him fell most Of the disagreeable jobs,
and he was much In request for lift

One the eve Of a recent big launch,
when the huge vessel was standing
ready on the stocks for the morrow's
great event, Mike went to the fore

thinking of leaving u.s."

sourly. "Since I've been here I've

MILK IS FAVORITE
FOOD FOR FLIES

There is no food which flies like
better than milk. You have noticed,
doubtless, how commonly flies are
found in a milk pitcher left standing
on the table. Empty tins put out to
air draw swarms Of them. The dairy
house or room in which milk is kept
on a farm is always a great attrac-
ton. Milk is also good medium for
growing bacteria.
When there are not properly made,
fly-proof out-buildings or a septic
tank for the disposal of household
sewage, there is abundant opportun-
ity for flies to gather up bacteria and
dispose of their loads of germs in the
milk room or vessels. They may
wash the disease pro ducing filth from
their bodies into the milk or may
drop excreta specks in the milk or
on the utensils, VIII ence they may be
washed into the milk later and have
a chance to grow.
Many cases of epidemics of typhoid
or other intestinal diseases have their
origin in this way. The milk be-
comes infested on the farm where it
is produced through the medium of
flies which have fed on the excreta Of
some typhoid patient or carrier. One
must remember that there are many
clinical carriers or typhoid germs-in
other words ''wa1king typhoids," or
Typhoid Marys.'
Every milk room and milk house
should be separated as far as conven-
lent from the stable and windows and
doors should be thoroughly screened
to prevent the entrance of flies. A
screened Enclosure should be put up
to protect the shelves upon which tins
and pals are aired. OF course, all
toilets should be made fly proof on a
dairy farm.

MEXICO.

President Wilson has wanted In the
days when his opponents attacked him and tried to goad
him into the of the armed forces of the United
States he remained steadfas to his determination that
the blood of American soldiers should be
shed except the in the effort uphold
the honor of the nation.
Once, when graver eventuaites threat

rewarded by diplomatic victory that made the she'd
ding of blood unnecessary. 1t the Presidents pre-
vous moderation that gave such force to the ominous
utimatum which brought concession the rights

No President in the history OF the United States has

have proved the for President Wilson. Their unan-
approval of his present has dued the
edge of his desire for honorable peace.

selfish and partisan criticism. coming from those who
thought of advantage than of the welfare
of the nation has been the best security of the
people throughout the time the world has been darkened
by war-clouds.
sheathed the American people is because
peaceful means have been exhausted If the sword is
raised to strike it is because the head of the de facto
of Mexico refuses to respect the rights of
America.
No President ever tried so hard to interpret the
real spirit Of America. Mr.. Wilson has said that he
would rather know what the and women, gathered
around their fresde, saying than to listen to
the orations of the self-appointed.
In his handling of the Mexican problem, President
Wilson has been guided by the single impulse to do
what the American people would have him do-to ex-
haust all the peaceful his disposal to protect
the lives and property Of Americans and falling in that
to uphold the honor and dignity nation by the use
of it's armed forces.
The note written by the State Department General
Carranza in response to his threat to attack Amer
lean troops presented the complete the Amer
lean government against Mexico Az in the European
situation, when the ultimatum ominous note
brought full concessions marked the President
Wilson's patience.
The lives of the American soldiers Mexico soldiers
VINO were sent there to the the raids
OF bandits, bent on numbering Americans had been
threatened.
IN the might of righteousness the sword of America
was then rasied to strike, and in the struggle that
threatens the nation enters upon its task with clean
and fearless heart.
