enced in his opinion of the value of
trades-unionism largely by what he
sees trades unionists doing, and BY
what they think of their organization.
No non-unionist is likely to think
well of the union of his trade if he
hears its members continually finding
fault with it, expressing the opinion
that he is not doing what it could or
should for its membership, or that its
officers are obstacles to its develop
nent.
If members in the presence OF nom
union men express the opinion that
their organization is far from what it
should be, and that its officers, local
and national, are unfit for the position
they hold, or if they are continually
grumbling or fault-hnding about
something connected with their union,
how can they expect that the nom
unionist will want to become mem
Der of their organization?
But unfortunately it is not the nom
unionist alone who is affected by the
man who continually finds fault with
his union, there are always 4 number
of members who seldom attend meet
ings, but who drink in everything said
about their union in the shop that is
of an unfavorable character, and who
influenced by these criticisms, lose
still more of their loyalty and conf
dence in the organization.
There is much to be proud of in the
record of every trade-union. There
are the men who made sacrifices years
ago that might exist as a protection
to the trade; there are the victories
won. the beneficial conditions it has
established, the progress it has made,
the sound and practical policies it has
developed and adopted, the spirit of
true brotherhood, which it has taught
and applied, the part it has taken in
assisting other trade-unionists, and the
factor it has been in securing 1egisIa-
tion to protect the workers.
THERE'S wonderful story of trade
un,on accomplishment to tell to the
and the indifferent men,
Der If we hope to change the nom
into an active member of the
union, if we are to awaken a pride in
his organization in the mind of the in
different member. we must talk over
our progress and our victories with
them, for we never can awaken con-
6dence and unrest for our union in the
minds of others by fault finding

Facts About Pneumonia

Ten per cent of the deaths in the
United States result from pneumonia.
1t is estimated that during the past
thirty days this rate has been doubled
in some sections. tuberculosis and
heart disease, each causing one-ninth
of all fatalities, are the only diseases
which outrank pneumonia among the
legion of the men of death, but in cer-
tain cities pneumonia is steadily in
creasing and even has surpassed the
mortality from tuberculosis. Seventy
per cent of all cases occur between
December and May. 1t is distinctly a
cold weather infection, seemingly
brought on by wintry blasts, but es-
pecially prevalent during the winter
season only because its victims are
rendered more susceptible at that time
by exposure, debilitating influences
and the presence Of predisposing in
fections Pneumonia principally af-
fects those at the extremes Of life. but
no age is exempt. It is invariably a
germ disease. The predisposing and
exciting organisms arc so numerous
that it would be futile to attempt their
enumeration. Many Of them are con
stantiy present in the mouths and
throats Of healthy persons and it is
only through the aid which we un-
Willingly extend to them that they are
transformed from harmless organisms
to one Of mans most powerful en-
emies.

A RAILROAD OBJCT LESSON
(By Marcus Day.

There is one or two things connect
ed with this greater war preparation
movement that may turn out to be the
very thing that will turn its present
big business supporters rapidly against
it.
Take a mental squint at Germany
and France and ask yourselves. what
great medium of aid lies back of their
ability to concentrate and perfect their
speedy dispatch of troops to any given
point of attack by the enemy? Their
excellent railroads and equally excel
lent control over them, is it not? What
sort of railroads? Government owned
railroads. Without the government
owning the roads no such thing as
perfect control could be at all pos
sible. Why? Because the private
roads would be ruled in theid policy
by profits in time of peace without
any necessity of thinking about times
of war. Germany wanted an intelli-
gent preparedness, a greater prepared
ness and victorious preparedness.
How did she go about it regarding
railroads? By asking the private own
ers if they would allow the govern
ment to have it? By pleading with
them to be good? Oh, no; the people
at the head of Germany, headed by
Bismark, were not that kind of oys-
ters. Germany has made few mis-
takes and one of these was regulation
of railroad rates. They tried that out
to a frazzle. as the Colonel would
say. and it didn't work When men
like Bismark make up their minds
what they want they begin action. If
they had asked advise of the railroad
owners about what was best for the
country the railroad owners would
have shown in purple colors the great
danger to the country in government
ownership. They would not have
seen their own difficulties in such
case but would have protested
against the adoption of any new and
dangerous things that bordered on
socialism. But Bismark. strange to
say, never took them into council
While he respected their opinions he
thought possible they might have 9TH
er reasons than patriotism. So he
layed low and worked softly and quiet
ly. He bought in the name of the
government competing. line of road
He arranged things financially so that
the stock was meeting hard road in
its attempt to climb up on the Berlin
bourse-everything was pessmistic
and for reasons. He never preached
from a megaphone on the house-tops
his intentions. About the first word
of trouble to the private owners came
in an unexpected and alarming an
nouncement that a certain line had

About the Detective
Caldwell 'rribune)

There are two kinds of detectives.
One kind is employed to prevent
crimes or to discover the authors OF
crimes. Every peace officer is some
things of a detective Such functions
must be performed and the office
carries with it no opprobrium.
The other kind of detective is bet
ter known as the gum shoe" or pink
whiskers. :" He is a sneaking, crawl
ing creature bent on securing re-
ward by treachery and ambush.
He is usually renegade and always
ascur and coward.
He profits by the weakness, gener-
osity and trustfulness OF his victims.
He is dirty and Shiny and be-
smirches every one with whom he
comes in contact.
He is the most disreputable member
of the human family with the sole ex-
ception Of him who gives him employ
ment
He is devoid Of honor, principle and
shame.
He is an outcast.
He is libel on his fellow man.
There have been three or four Of
these foul harpies lowering over Cald-
we'll for two weeks or more. We do
not know who brought them here or
why Some one in authority is re-
sponsible for them being here, and
whoever is deserves the contempt
which viii sooner or later be his.

1t has been the workers greatest de-
tense when the employer has been an
oppressor, and has accomplished the
most in inspiring the workers with
zeal and courage to attack and over
come the oppressive conditions wnicn
have been placed upon labor by en-
ployers, the law and the courts.
1t has been the greatest force, prac-
tically the only force, which has
brought about the recognition and ap-
plication of the principles OF industrial
democracy, the right of labor to have
a voice in determining what shop
government shall be, so that the rules
and conditions established by indus
try, like those established by the ma
ton, shall be made and applied with
the consent of the governed.
That trade-unionism has not made
still greater gains is due to the number
OF workers still outside of its ranks,
on whom antagonistic employers rely
in their efforts to prevent its growth.
To organize the unorganized. to
teach them to apply the principles of
trade-unionism, to inspire them with
confidence in the effectiveness of our
movement, is purpose in which we
cannot afford to relax for a moment.
Our progress depends largely upon
the degree of organization which we
are able to establish. There are other
things required besides numbers, but
members in large numbers we must
have if we are to control sufficient
strength to overcome the obstacles
which hinder the establishment of a
larger measure of industrial justice.

tions on this particular line. The

could not be possible that private
owners would adopt a policy of COM
petition when the usual monopoly and
agreement was so profitable to ali
concerned no wastes of money on
rate wars, etc. They investigated and
to their horror they found that the
kaiser's governemnt had bought in
the erring sister. Some OF the private
owners went to the great chancellor
direct and asked him for an explana-
ton. 1--WE will be ruinedl" they cried
in quivering voices. Il hope so" is
all that he is reputed to have said in
reply and he dismissed them. 1t was
not long after that until one by one
the roads that were in competition fell
into government hands with their Sc
curities smashed to the very limit.
That is the way Germany is reputed to
have began her attack on the private
owners to gain control of the private
owned roads and that is a practical
v'ay.
Any real preparedness with govern
ment depending upon the whims of
private railroad owners would be
screaming farce to advertise our cow
ardly surrender to private and selfish
influences. A military preparedness
to compete with anything formulated
by either France or Germany. with
a practical certainty that both Russia
and Great Britain will adopt the same
sort of organization, must lay its
foundation upon government owned
roads, absolutely and positively free
from any private influence.
Here comes a question:? Will the
big business men who wish great pre-
paredness for the United States desire
to surrender to policy of govern
ment ownership? 1t can safely be as
sumed in advance that they will only
be favorable to such change if the
people in the name of the government
take over the watered value of rail-
road securities at their present mar
ket prices.
1t is to be hoped that when the time
comes to settle this question that the
government will be in the hands of
people who have the Bismark point of
view and who will make just as good
a bargain for this Democratic repub-
lie as Germany's greatest statesman
