1ahor and the World,, Penos.

Labor has demonstrated its Importance 10
the world in time OF war; It now proposes to
have some share in the affairs OF the world
when II comes to making peace. The govern
ments OF the world have been active in mobiliz-
ing industry. for the purpose Of preparation for
war; IL is the men OF labor who look ahead to
mobllizing In the preparation for lasting peace.
President Gompers OF the American Federation
OF Labor has Just issued a call. authorized by
the San Francisco convention. for labor con-
gress 10 meet at the same time and the same
place as the conference that will fix the terms
OF peace This will be TO secure for labor a
share in the negotiations, and a voice in the
discussions, that labor may have its part in
binding up the wounds OF the industrial world,
as well as the political.
The solidarity OF labor has been shaken, but
not destroyed by the conflict. The International
Secretariat has been instrumental In securing
TO a very large extent the coalition OF the repre-
sentative bodies Of organized labor throughout
the world and. although its activity has been
suspended, Il will provide something of the ma
chinery for bringing together the conference
called by the American body. Labor problems
vary in detail among the nationS but funda-
mentally they are the same everywhere. This
will make easy the participation Of all the dele
gates to the conference on equal terms. In
dustrially, the gathering will be Of vast i'm
portance, for IL will have much to do with the
establishment OF orderly procedure once more In
the worlds business
Politically, the effect will be Of still greater
moment, as Il is intended that labor will make
demand for share in the responsibility Of di-
rection Of government greater than that now ac-
corded. This revolutionary demand will be
made in the name of the workers. and may
startle the imperialists OF Europe, but II is the
voice OF Freedom and IL will be heard.

Yellow journalism and War.

El Paso people smile at the credulity OF the
Mexican poems. who believe the ridiculous
stories, spread from mouth to mouth about the
triumphs Of Pancho villa. But how much diff
ference is there between these ignorant poems
and the educated Americans. who believe the
equally unfounded and almost as absurd reports
circulated by irresponsibles on our side of the
borderG Some tales quite as grotesque as that
of villa taking Washington have been published
about the progress OF the American army in
northern Mexico. All sorts OF gossip has been
seized upon and magnifled into tremendous
flares OF sensation, and portions OF the public
have been gulled thereby. The censor is hold
ing back the facts but this does not prevent the
yellow journals from printing clrcumstantial
stories of the taking Of villa, and OF other
events that have not as yet occurred. This
has gone on until the president has been com

Following the Republican Lead.

Again is the democratic party demonstrating
itu resemblance to that insect which "stumbles
through existence with its headlight on be-
hind" The president has just given his ap-
proval to bill. and II has been presented in
the house. for the creation of q permanent tariff
commission. Such commission once was pro-
vided by the republicans. over the united OPP
position OF democrats in and out OF congress-
and tariff was framed on a report made by
that commission, after It had made long and
patient inquiry into conditions that are sup
posed 20 govern an industry and on which the
protective tariff should be based. This tariff
was violently assailed by the democrats. who
proposed their boasted horizontal reduction as
the only remedy and proceeded TO put It into et-
feet on coming into power. The Underwood
tariff Is notable for three things; war" tax
levied in time OF peace; the removal Of the
tariff from sugar, which had to be replaced, and
the abolition Of the tariff commission. which is
now TO be restored.

cratic practice OF substituting hindsight for

war makers are financed, while farmers
are robbed in interest rates. They claim
there is more money in the country than

There is a Real Difference

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it Is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used In
some baking powders, instead Of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
