Authors and the Labor Union
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915, by Frank Crane)

\ movement has been made to induce
the Authors League of America to join
the American Federation of Labor.
The argument in favor Of this was
that II would secure for writer's the ad-
yantageS of standardized contracts in
the publishing, magazine, and theatrical
businesses,
Perhaps the deeper reason, the more
powerful one was a more or less sub
conscious feeling that authors are by
right members of the Working Class.
And there is pretty widespread convic-
ton that it is the duty of this Class TO
organize against and continually watch,
oppose, and Circumvent the Vaccinations
Of their enemy, the Capitalist Class.
There are quite few in whom this
sentiment amounts almost to a religion.
The only way 10 accomplish anything, ac-
cording TO the popular notion. is by sect,
party, or class. Maybe that is true. |
don't see it myself but there are a lot #
emlnently respectable facts refuse. and
shall continue TO refuse, to accept.
But even if it is true, authors have no
business lining up with any class, cult or
other organization that binds them TO
certain line Of opinion; for the simple
reason that to a writer it is matter of
life and death that he keep his mind I'M
hampered, his convictions unpedged, and
his hands united
The whole capitalist-worker contention
IS over division of the profits At bot
tom, what each side wants is more
money Not having advanced far enough
in civilization to get together and arrange
for distribution Of profits amicably and
equitably, all they can do i. to scratch
and bite-just as nations cannot settle
their affairs intelIigently but must go to
war
In this welter the writer has no busi-
ness Authors, as Carlyle said are the
nigh priests Of humanity Real authors
cannot be hired nor bribed to champion
any cause. The kind Of writer's who can
be got to write for a political party, a
religious sect, capitalism, or the wage
earners. or any other propaganda are no
more worthy to be called authors than
whitcwaShers and house-painterS are TO
be called artists.
To Join with the American Federation
Of Labor would be as unworthy Of the

However, Sweet Should
Have the Support of All
Dry Voters for Governor.

Dry Voters for Governor,
Edwin F. Sweet, Democratic candi-
date for governor, has openly and pub
licly declared that he favors a dry Mich
igan.
Sweets party failed to make that dec
laration, so Sweet made it for himself
personally.
He satisfies every dry voter in Michi-
gan that he can be voted for SAFELY
that the booze interests have no
strings on him.
We have heard nothing from Albert
<. Sleeper, Republican candidate for
governor, as TO what he thinks about
this matter of drying up Michigan.
Sleeper's party is silent on the ques-
ton of prohibition.
Sweet refused, as the candidate, to in
dorse his party's silence.
Sleeper, as its candidate HAS indors-
Gu iiio party SlieHSe-
And yet:
Grant Hudson, superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon league, is quoted as having
said in Lansing that either of the candi-
dates for governor is satisfactory TO the
drys; that either would give the drys a
fair deal.
The Times does not understand this
statement by Hudson.
If he has been correctly quoted. he
pays a poor compliment, indeed, to Can
didate Sweet and this is mighty slim
appreciation of Sweets courage in COM.
ing squarely to the scratch on the big
state issue.
Hudson may have assurances from
Sleeper that the drys will get square
deal. but this is not matter as we take
it, between Sleeper and Hudson.
Sweet didn't look upon it as a matter
between him and Hudson.
II is a matter between the candidate
and all Of the dry voters in Michigan,
just as Sweet has regarded it and just
as Sleeper ought to regard it,
II Sleeper has given Hudson any as
surance that justifes Hudson's state
ment in Lansing let Sleeper give the dry
voters in Michigan that same assurance
or take the consequences Of having them
vote against him, no matter what Hud-
sons personal opinion may be.
The superintendent of the Anti-Saoon
league ought to know, and ought to know
better than anybody else, that it has been
an uphill fight to get the question of pro-
hibition before the voters of Michigan.
And he ought to know better than any
body else that it has been an uphill fight
because Booze has been in power
And he ought to know better than any
body else that Booze has been in power
because Booze has always taken care Of
IT'S candidates. while dry candidates
have had to shift pretty much for them
selves.
II has been hard matter TO get can
didates to come out fatty as the enemies
Of Booze, because Of feeling on their
part that such declaration would hurt
them more than it would help.
The statement by Superintendent Hud-
SON explains that feeling.
Candidate Sweet passes up and defies

POSTMASTERS, IN
 FINAL. MEETING
 LAUD PRESIDENT

Washington, July 21.-Resolutions commenting the national administra- ton for efficiency and economy in postal management, recommendlns specific reforms and praising Presi- dent Wilson for maintaining the Unl- ted States in peace were presented 10 the National Association of Preslden- tial Postmasters at its final session to- day.
 Under the administration of Post master General Burleson, the resolu- tion recited, the present system by which each postmaster is "the direct ing force of his office and his duties are not delegated to subordinate of- ficials," has been announced. The postmaster general and his assistants were commended for reforms.
 It was recommended that addition al early morning train schedules be established whenever possible, about larger cities. The resolution suggest ed method of settling claims for dam age or loss under the insurance feature of the present postal system so that adjustment may be made for minor claims by the postmaster at the, or flee concerned. Legislation providing for retirement of superannuated em- Poyes was favored.
 Referring to the foreign policy of President Wilson, a resolution says:
 Under the fearless and patient lead ership of President Woodrow Wilson every impending crisis has been met with honorable valor and most de1ib- crate wisdom and peace and prosperity prevail within our country"
 Wish for continuance of the Pres ident's policies was conveyed in the resolution which added that post masters occupying positions that place them in close touch with the home life of the nation, should and do know the sentiments of our people and for them can speak"

STATE FIREMEN
 BRAVE RAIN TO HOLD BIG PICNIC

West Haven, Conn.,, July 21.-The State Firemens association had lot of sympathy extended to it today. Plans had been made for, its best field day and parade and arrangements had been made for thousands or friends of the ''vamps,, to come here for a shore outing. But Jupiter Plu- vfus beat out Old Sol and rain fell where sunbeams had been expected. If advance assurances were good for anything every volunteer fireman's s organization in Connecticut was to have been here to take part in the pa rade. the sports and shore dinners at Savin Rock. The display of red shirts, helmets, polished belts, trumpets, hose wagons and firefghting apparatus was to have been the biggest on record of the association.
 Early morning rain fell in. sheets. The streets seem to be under a pro- tective water fall frequently used at fires. The wind blew hard and even at 10 o'clock, Chief Loomis, of the West Haven police department, ad- mitted that his brothers who look af- ter fires didn't have much of day" for their outing.
 But the fire laddies were full of courage. Every trolley car was bring ing members of out-of-town compa- nies to the headquarters here until there were hundreds of rubbercoated men merrily exchanging greetings. It was estimated that 35 out of the 40 companies expected were represented.
 Weat1 CT prospects were on the mend and Chief Cameron, of the West Ha- ven fire fighters, decided that the pa rade could probably be held about noon. A little sunlight would permit the holding of foot races and hose races during the afternoon. Despite the weather every one on hand looked forward to good time as the keys to Savin Rock had been given them and no sharks had been reported along the beach to spoil the bathing at high tide.

AN INDIANAPOLIS YARD.
(Outing.)

(Out1ng.)
 Less than seven miles from the city of Indianapolis stands small for est of native trees. If this same group of trees stood in Northern Michigan there are a thousand people of Indianapolis who would rave over them and make a special journey ev- cry so often just to look at them and enjoy their beauty.
 Before the white men came, Indiana was fairly well covered with forest. Only . very small per cent. of the state along the west and northwest sides was prairie, while the rest was forest. Of all this extensive growth of trees in Indiana and in neighbor- ing states they grew to their very best in the we'll watered valleys of central Hoosierdom.
 No one could get an adequate idea of this forest from a simple descrip- tion of the trees. My. what trees they are! They are not like the giant trees of the West, of course, but in comparison with the second growth sprouts of the average forest in the east or north they are gigantic,
 Most of them are white Oak-one of the noblest monarchs of the Amer ican forests,

EXCUSES A MARRIED
 MAN KEEPS ON TAP

And had you loved me then, my
 dear,
 And had you loved me there,
 When still the sun was in the East
 And hope was in the air,
 When all the birds sang in the dawn
 And I but sang to you,
 Oh, had you loved me then, my dear,
 And had you then been true"
 A young woman who had two beaux "a widower and a young single man chose the latter to wed, whimsically giving the following reason: 'The young man knows none of the tricks of the average married man in keep ing that part of his business affairs from his wife he doesn't care to have her familiar with or know about. It would take him at least decade Of years to get into full swing the ex- cuses the man with long record or marital years usually keeps on tap. A young inexperienced husband would be apt to tell me very frankly who de- tained him, making him an hour late for dinner, and why. The man who had gone over a similar road with former wife would come pretty near to knowing what I would say or do if he told me he had been obliged to hunt up MT. Hunt on a matter of important business-if he's a store keeper; draw a will for dying wo- man who had sent for him hurriedly or get a poor chap out of jail, if he's lawyer. If he's a clerk or book keeper he has at his tongues end the old story of being obliged to. work overtime. The photographer can tell his little story and get away with 1t of the man Gt's always a man) who is obliged to come after his hours of employment are over to indulge in sitting for photo.
 The husband in the automobile business has no difficulty in keeping his wife guessing by telling her he wasn't joy riding with pretty blonde girl-as her friends conf1dentially re- ported to her. On the contrary, he was demonstrat ting his car to cranky m1ddle-aged woman, hoping to have tine luck to sell it to her, adding tha. if she wanted a dozen more rides she'd get thera as 6 matter of course. He makes too many excuses The real estate man can tell that a man took him here and there to look at prop erty and who can doubt him?
 The railroad conductor. the fireman or the engineer can pin his hopes for immunity from scolcing with the an- cient, honored excuse that the train came in an hour late. The plumber has things his own way; he can be sent for st any hour, to go any place, staying as long as he seas fit, and not one wife out of thousand would take the notion to verify his statement. The man who keeps the livery stable can keep dinner waiting seven nights out Of the week and often accept un- deserved pity from his wife with the hundred th-t told excuse of having to wait until this team came in or ore went out, the sick horse or smashed carriage etc. And as for the doctor, 10. wife may ever expect to keep tabs rse

 Many members of the Columbia organization are already at the bor- der serving Uncle Sam and have been receiving their salaries previous to this announcement, which covers those also who may be called to the colors hereafter. The move is in line with the patriotic policy of the Co., 1umbia Graphophone Co.,, long an ad- vecate of the principle of industrial preparedness.

From the Anti Suffragists.

The absence of many of the officers and members of the State Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage from their city homes at this season of the year has resulted in a slackening up
 of the active campaign of education against 'votes for women" which the Connecticut branch of the National Association has been waging through the spring and early summer It is probable that no formal method or plan of campaign will be entered up- on until the latter part of the next month, at which time the first moves in battle against woman suffrage will be made which will cover the entire state and will extend up to the time of the presidential elections in November. li@
 Now that both of the great parties have "endorsed' women suffrage, &C., cording to the suffrage adherents. the new Woman's Party enters the ring, of which Miss Alice Paul chairman of the Women's Congressional Union, says: "There is no doubt that it will turn the tide in the coming presiden- tial election. Now that the Women's Party can throw the balance of power. and when people realize that we are president rndkerS, we VIII De able to get what we wish and put through the federal suffrage amendment. We will certainly not stand for any one who is against us and the federal suffrage amendment"
 The suffrage plank which declares that the party favors letting each state decide for itself the issue of wo- man suffrage brought forth express sions limiting at disappointment, treachery, violation of promises and several other things. when fS wss in- cluded in the platform. Now that each party has an ''equal suffrage plank" there is great rejoicing in suf- frage circles-a change of front with in a month. The State Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage has al- ways maintained that the majority of women do not want the vote, and that when the issue is to be pue to the people. 1t is a matter for settlement by the states themsefsea ana nothing for the federal government to concern itself with. Thee amraisn of eduoa- ton which was carried on thiD spring and last winter has set before the wo- . men of the State the reasons against the ballot for women, as set tprth by tho women themselves. With She com- ing of the fan and the elections. an- other such campaign will be inxtituted for the benefit of the men--sho do tho voting.
