every dollar so spent meant more work

the other side, which c~haracterizes this
organization, breathes through this COM
pact. The public respect which the In
ternational Typographical union has long
enjoyed is not the fruit of a superior in
telligence alone. 1t is only too possible
for intelligence to be wrongly led, to fall
into the hands Of radicals and hot heads,
to be unwise in conduct and arbitrary in
action. The collective intelligence Of the
bnt % ac IyP0gpa Ppm union n Is nigh;
guided by a large perception of public in
terest and public opinion. 1t does not seek
to rule or ruin. 1t never stoops to Vio-
lence. 1t is not a continual threat and
club against the employer. 1t is conser-
vative. 1t recognizes the rule of reason.
To some. labor leaders a union is the
source of political power, careless of the
economic descriptions and losses. the pub
lie inconvenience 1t may cause. 1t is a
sort of imperium in imperio, an unofficial
branch of the government, a power to be
used for power. A union like the Inter-
national Typographical union is a force
for the benefit OF it's W members with
out perpetual ~encroachment upon the
rights OF others, without unduly magni-
YIN its own.

Birds Of the Battle front.
From the Chicago Evening Pos

From the Chicago Evening Post.
An article written by a soldier who is
serving in the front line of British
trenches says that the birds of the coun-
try seemingly are unafraid of the can
nonading, that swallows build their nests
in the sand banks near the war torn front
and that other birds sing unconcernedIy
while the 75s and the bigger guns are
roaring q, chorus. Birds are not easily
frightened, away from their accustomed
haunts. When they learn that no harm
is intended them they stay and rear their
young, seemingly unconscious of the riot
about them.
European students of bird life who
thought that the swallows and all the
other migrants would fail to return to
their accustomed haunts in the valleys
and on the plains where the war was
raging. There were some u%nthinking
persons who held that the whole course Of
migration would be changed by wars
conditions. The battle zone on any front
is not very wide. Migration is a fixed
habit. and even if European birds on their
return from Africa, southern Italy and
should change their summer homes from
one point to another only a few miles
distant, tie act would not constitute q
change In the migration; II SIMPLY would
As events have proved, the birds Of
Europe have maintained their summer
residences despite the banging of guns
and the bursting of shells. One Of the
commonest spring scenes in the meadows

"Put On Your Hat"
From the Houston Post

rIoil bI0 I1ou5toll Il .
The Leavenworth New Era is the name
Of the weekly publication Of the prisoners
in the United States penitentiary at Leav-
enworth. Kan. 1t Is an interesting pub
lication-though 1t may not appeal to
many people.
The prisoners edit 1t, Of course with the
approval Of the department OF justice. It's
purpose Is the announcement and edu-
tional Advancement Of prisoners every
where" 1t is sent only to government
officials and to persons interested In
prison reform.
The issue Of July IA devotes a consider
able space, to the future policy Of Joliet
prison as regards prison reform, and con-
tains beside several editorials which prove
that the prisoner is helping others to help
him.
Men convicted of crime are still men.
AS a general proposition they are neither
better than the nan outside nor are they
worse than the man outside. Given the
same advantages of health Of mind and
body, the same surrounding environment
Of happiness n contentment. and the
same steady labor as the man. who is not a
criminal, and the average prisoner in the
penitentiary becomes the average citizen
Of the outside world.
Men are men "for a that and for a

The editors of the New Era are inn
pressed with the action OF a deputy war
den at Joliet. the state prison Of Illinois:

1t Is a fact that men everywhere and In

The Awful Imports.
From the Milwaukee Journa

Campaign speakers who talk of the
threat of our Increased imports and point
to the figures carefully omit mention of
the imports and the amount Of our ex-
port trade. Concerning these other things
the New York Post presents some inter
esting 6gures. The fiscal year which
ended June 80, showed an increase OF
1923, 900, 900 tn imports. This is the threat

Fine EXPRESSION.

In q review Of a novel we come
across this suggestive sentence: "Here
too, characters that transmute COM
mon things into gold by the alchemy OF
the spirit" The finest thought Of the
day is expressed by that modest SEN
tence. The great problem in religion,
education, business, politics, and So
Ciety concerns itself with that trans
mutation. 1t suggests a finer life than
n gets out of the materialism Of the,
age, with its luxury, pleasure, selfish
ness, i'll will, spite, and ~overreaching.
The evolution Of the day is toward the
sanctification of everyday experience
and infusing heroism into common life.
That is what must eventually happen
if humanity ever gets to be what II
should be. 1t is n long way to that
end, longer, perhaps, than from the
monad to man, as Emerson expresses
it, but thither the evolution proceeds.

unsupported Efficiency.

The bureau of plant industry is en-,
d%eavoring to improve tobacco by scien'
tific study of the different brands. To
eliminate the personal equation in
smoking and to secure uniformity of
conditions the bureau has a carefully
regulated apparatus for testing the
burning quality of cigars. The pull
on the cigar is secured by means of an
aspirator, which is filled by a continu-
Gus inflow of water and emptied at
regular intervals by a siphon. The
pull" occurs at intervals of 30 sec
onds and lasts for a period Of ten sec
onds. The apparatus smokes four
cigars of the perfecto type in about 80
minutes.-Tobacco.

English Channel Tunnel.
From the INDIANAPOLIS News.

VAN ANS"Ss
The British newspapers are now advo-
waiting the construction Of a tunnel under
the English channel In its last annual
report the French railway company that
carries the English traffic from Calais
and Soulogne. to Paris says: with Eng
land our business Of every kind will be
without any doubt immensely increased.
There Is every reason to hone for the
mel. The war in progress has shown un-
m~istakably the absolute need of it from
every point OF view"
The war has convinced many English
men that the tunnel would be of advan-
tage and that 1t would in no way increase
the dangers of the country; In 1907 1t was
objected to on the ground that IT would
Physical separation from the continent
has many times been England's salvation
and this condition is now changed. The
over channel flight Of Bleriot made a diff
ference which the war has increased. The
introduction of the submarine made the
English channel a burden to the admir-
atty.
1t is estimated thai the tunnel from Do
yer to Calais would cost Els, 600, 900.

what would have happened at Mons had

and supplies. All the food that the ex-
peuluonary lorce consumes. all the stores
and all the shells, have to be packed as
securely for the channel passage as
though they were destined for Australia.
In France the English government has a
body Of 40, 900 men constantly at work un-
packing and transshipping.
The transportation interests have been
largely won over to the project. Although
the British papers say little about II.
the value of the tunnel to the world would
be tremendous. Commercial hatreds en-
%gendered by the war will not last always,
and there is no reason to doubt the ulti-
mate availability OF the tunnel for all
continental business. The French offer
to bear half the cost OF constructing the
tunnel,

Tho First Step to Success,
From the Columbus Dispatch

The first lesson in success might be
entitled Cheerful H~elpfulness." II
ought to be learned early by every boy
and girl. 1t ought to be learned in the
home; then it will be second nature
everywhere else. 1t delights mother
and lessons her burdens, and makes
home happier for every member OF the
family. If the young folks will start
out with the thought hat the greatest
thing In the world Is serving others and
not being served by them. all OF the
latter that anybody could wish will
come as a natural result. Do you doubt
it? Put the question to yourself
whom do YOU like to serve? Invariably,
tie answer will be those who serve or
s2e willing to serve you. Not the quar-
relsome, petulent, bullying persons
about you, but those who are cheerful,
watchful and willing to do the little
things that smooth the rough texture
Of every day life.
Those who soonest make a place for
themselves in the home or in money
earning tasks are those who are quick
to see what they can do to help and ara
willing to do 1t, giving time INT effort
to the task OF learning, If it be difficult.
1t is thus that the office boy becomes q
clerk, the clerk a partner IN the bust
ness, and the partner the head If the
concern. And the same way up is open
to the young woman in any Of the en-
plOvments that she seeks.
On the other hand, the sure way to
failure is through blindness to the Iittlo
bits Of h~elpfulness, evasion of duty,
wa~tchfulness Of the clock that not an
"xtra minute Of time may be put in;
the expectation that, while you give I'M
g%rudging service to lone. everybody
will give 1t to you. Opportunity opens
wide to the cheerful. helpful person,
but her gates must be pried open for
those who lack good will and expect al
ways to be helped.

bers of that organization did not
take further action regarding the
resolution that was sent by ~ few
members of the camp TO Pres. Will
son requesting the dismissal of Sec'y
of War Baker. because of his re-
marks on the soldiers of the resolu-
ton.
Saturday nights meeting was one
oe the largest that has ever been
held. there being over 100 o. the
members present. The meeting was
called for the purpose OF investi-
eating the conditions that surround
ed the sending of the note by GER

claiming it to be the sentiments of
the entire camp. This fact caused
the rest of the camp TO get up in
arms and demand some explanation
for the act. But when the camp
met Saturday night the two factions
we're so bitter and angry that it was
seen that further action on the mat
ter would cause a serious rupture
among the members, and the matter
was therefore dropped by both
sides.
