Republicans to Buy Union Labor
On Election Day, Says the Enquirer" Money to Be
Poured Into Ohio to Buy the Votes of All the Rene
gade Union Men Who They Figure, Will Sell Out
Their Principles and Their Union For Feuu Dollars.

The field of action is being rapidly
cluttered up by the formation of an end
less variety of labor unions, business
mems leagues, cooperative clubs, patri-
otic alliances and similar contrivances
designed to extract what is known in
the headquarters of the true Democracy
as the glue" from the Golfers of the
political committees and the pockets of
the private citizen who thinks that the
country can be saved by the use Of
money on election day among the igno-
rant classes. Far be it from this old
scion of the eternal verities to intimate
that they are just plain suckers. Let
others perform this dsagreeable task.
Yet it is rather shocking to have it calm
ly announced that Hon Frank Hitch
cock, of New York, is coming out here
to stem the tide even if it costs 100000
Becoming more specific, it is stated
that the tactics of the new general, who
has the most beautiful yellow hair, will
be to split the labor vote" These ru-
mors account for the blossoming forth
of myriad of Representative of la
Dor" who have uncalloused hands and
remarkably good clothes, to say nothing
of delicate taste for prime old liquors
and Havana cigars. 'Whcre the car
cass is, there are the eagles gathered to-
gether," said the book, the writer of
which, though, meant buzzards.
As they should be, these gents are not
partisan They are ready to save the
country with either Hughes or Wilson,
though the rates of the former will
have, OF necessity to be higher. The
reasons are asked The Republicans
have the most money and this year the
real working men seem to be leaning
toward Democracy.
The Splitting of the labor vote" al
ways increases the bank clearings in the
locality wherein it is carried on. fosters
the circulation of currency and is pro-
ductive of better times in business which
requires a license or is prohibited by
law, as the case may be. However, this
royal arcanum insists that it is shocked
by the calm and dispassionatc way in
which our leading merchant princes,
moIdcrs of public opinion, captains Of
industry and mere citizens, discuss the

DIR. PARKHURST DISSENTS.

New York.-Rev Dr. Charles II.
Parkhurst is not politician, although
he occasionally talks like one. The rev
erend gentleman's latest outburst is over
the Adamson eight-hour law for rail
road employees He said 1--WE are made
to understand the destructive genius in
volyed i'll the passion to get off with the
least amount of labor"
Whether this rufiianly assault should
have been yielded to or not is a qucs-
ton by itself, just as it is a question
whether one should yield to the high
wayman who demands money or life In
either case, submission to the assault is
attended by a sense of unspcakable hu-
initiation, and leaves in the mind Of the
victim a sting that will continue to
ranklc deep down among the nerves"

MILLIONS CAN'T WRITE NAME.

San 1rancsco.-According to figures
put out by the extension department Of
the University Of California So per cent
OF those enrolled in the public schools
never go beyond the eighth grade. One
half OF the children who reach the sixth
grade drop out at that time and do not
resume their training.
In the United States 5,5OO,OOO people
over sixteen cannot write their owr
names. That this record promises tc
become even worse is shown by the fact
that out Of 25,OOO,OOO children Of schoo
age, only $1,000, 900 are actually in the
classroom thus leaving 95OO,OOO unac,
counted for.

EFFICIENCY REAL AND BOGUS

Efficiency is a good thing up to a point
where it does not injurc the worker
The most important thing in creation is
the human being The vast majority of
human beings are workers 1t therefore
follows that any system that hurts the
workers is bad thing for the human
race as a whole, even if the few profit
thereby. The cunning of the law should
not be permitted to dominate the indus
trial activities Of the world to the detr
mcnt Of the mass of the people And
this is just what is being attempted by
the advocates of nearly all of the sys-
tens of alleged scientific management

CIGAR MAKERS WIN INCREASE.

Tampa, Fla Striking cigar makers
and representatives OF nine factories
have reached an agreement by which
some 500 strikers will get 50 per cent
OF the wage increase they sought.
MI the men returned to work except
employees OF two factories, who have not
yet accepted the compromise.
The demand for higher pay involved
only those employees working in factory
departments where cigars are manufac-
tured by the mould process" The wage
increases granted vary according to the
different classes OF mould" cigars.

Chester Pa.-The spirit of trade un-

Success has followed and an application
has been made to the American Fedora

body will be composed of nearly all the
unions in Chester and vicinity and good
results are anticipated.

ORGANIZATION Is POWER.

Let us continue to increase our
strength and to fortfy our position.
Organized labor needs to control more
industries and to exercise a greater
power in commerce through the demand
for union label goods. This will help us
to oppose the products of poorly paid
European labor in our markets, and will
help us to control the competition Of the
poorly paid European laborer who may
come to our shores after the war is
