A Politician

A politician is a fellow who's tired
of working.
Politicians spend $4,000 for polit-
icaI jobs that pay $1,000 a year. Do
they work after they get the jobs?
Do women tell their right ages? Do
herring bark?
Politicians are very modest when
talking things about themselves
they hire, men to do it for them.
When a fellow gets the bunch,
working for money is hard living he
decides to go into politics. He gets
a lot of cards printed telling where
he was born, where he attended
school, that he is married and has a
flock of happy children, and in capt.
tai letters let's it be known that from
an infant he has been friend of the
workingman The political game is
like parachute jumping because
when you fall you fall hard.

DOUBLE EXPORTS

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The ex- ports of August 1916 are just ex- actly double those of August 1915 being over two hundred and seventy two millions. AS being one fo the causes of higher prices, economists are pointing to the greatly increased quantity of food stuffs which are be. ing shipped out of the country.
 However the economists are be- ing taken to task by the papers fol an unjustified conclusion, declaring that some of the articles, of which the production this year has beer greater than ever and which have SC far shown little increase in exporta tion, are even higher than others.

THE NEW YORK STRIKE.

Whether the New York strike will be successful or not depends upon whether or not there will be the same solidarity Of labor needed to enforce success. It is about high time that the methods pursued in these strikes were subjected to some sort of consideration.
 It has been the drawback of a certain school of economic fatalism that the workers have, many of them, obtained the idea that social acts are spontaneous and involun- tary; that they pass beyond the realm of individual control and are inevitable.
 There is no reason why, unless men themselves so will it, social acts should be beyond individual control There is no reason why one single step taken by any body of men for a common purpose and for mutual benefit should be involuntary in the remotest sense. There is no reason why they should not be carefully considered, deliberate and planful.
 Consequently the tactics that re- suit in some strikes being failures should occasion profounder con- sideration and should set the work CTS busy reasoning out better plans and better tactics. Certainly there should be some way of overcoming the consequences that lack of sOlid- arity brings upon all organized movements.

JOHN DIS UNION.

If there is any publication in the United States does not know that John D. Rockefeller Junior. the worthy son of worthy sire, estab- lished a union of his own in the southern Colorado coal fields, it is because the editors of that publica- tion failed to read the really beauti- ful literature that 26 Broadway cir culated upon the subject.
 And this was union. It was the meanss whereby forever and day, throughout the ages, the feud be- tween labor and capital was buried and employers and employees united for their mutual benefit. It was in fact the inception of the Golden Age in industry, and harmony sweet as the music of the stars pre- vailed. At least some such idea was inferred from the really beautiful literature on the subejct circulated by 26 Broadway.
 And now comes a startling cOndi- tion of things. These miners who are the petted and the pampered in the coal industry are still dissatis- fled. The beautiful union of master and man described in the really beautiful literature emanating from 26 Broadway does not seem to work First of all the miners in Sopris and Piedmont. then the miners in Stark vile, Berwind, Tabasco and Toller' berg began organizing in the United Mine Workers of America, just as If the Rockefeller Union did not

THE POOR RAILROADS.

1.-The probable strike of railroad carmen because they are not includ- led in the Adamson bill is now in- dicated in recent dispatches. When will they learn to leave the poor railroads alone so that the physi- clans of Wall Street can tap their financial dropsy. But it is comfort ing to know that the Interstate Commerce Commission is now con- sidering the propriety of increasing the freight rates. Let justice be done thought the heavens fall-and the water collapse from the over- capitalized transportation industry.

THE SUPERMEN.

When Hughes accepted the noml- nation of the republican party as candidate for President of the United States, an outcry went up against bringing the Supreme Bench into politics. Somehow and some way the idea was to be inculcatedl that the Supreme Court of the United States was and must be above the sordid strife of politics and it would be infinitely degrading if the supreme bench was to be used for political preferment later on. The gentlemen who devised this concept of things would have one believe that the Supreme Court was l to be an earthly paradise for human perfection, where the superman in 1 law ultimately reached, after being rid of the fleshly temptations ot class and caste, politics and perso" nal interest
 How in the world such a concep- tion should be believed of it is not so difficult to understand, notwith- standing the fact that invariably conservative, reliable corporation lawyers received the appointments. It was to the interest of privilege that the public should believe that that body in whose hands was left the interpretation of the constitu- ton, and which constituted a legal oligarchy in the republic, was emas- culated of all political and economic interests After they had donned the robe of the Supreme Bench they were clad in s garment of judicial purity which rendered the wearers immune from any such thing as class or political decisions.
 But those who were most reSolute in circulating this notion were under no illusion themselves. There fore they saw to it that railroad attorneys, corporation counsel and such of the profession as could be relied upon to uphold privilege would receive the justiceships.
 And when President Wilson ap- pointed the radical attorney Asso- ciate Justice Brandeis, there went up wailing and gnashing of teeth to the four quarters of the republic from the privileged classes.
 Why there should be the lament that Justice Hughes left the Supreme Bench for the stormy arena of politics and why there should be the lament that Brandeis was appointed to succeed Lamar are two facts which will explain one another. The truth is that the Judges are the same as the rest ot us. There is no more divinity about the law than the lawmakers, ana no more about the law interpreters | than either one or the other. They are human and they are subject as l judges and as lawmakers to the for ces of their environment which ere ates within their minds conception of men and things making for class ideas and class conceptions.
 The economic structure of society is the basis of all other contempo- rary institutions, and men and their ideas are such as their economic | environment makes them. The judges are subject to this rule as well as the rest of us, and because they are, it affects their ideas just as much as his environment affects the ideas of the Man with the Hoe.

to the left nor right of the road when honor was at stake, but who has steadily plugged his way down the center, sometimes kicked and cuffed, yet nearing the end of his political journey with more white marks than those of darker hue. It is true Cow ernor Mccall has not announced his intention of trying for the presidency. It is also true that many men have been after him to make the attempt
 But all along he has sat sublime upon the executive seat of the Old Bay State and it Is likely he will not budge until there is concerted action on the part of the majority of his fellow Re- publicans to move him on to pastures nn- By this contrast to those who arc seeking the laurels Mccall meas ures up as a man worth while. They also serve who only sit and and wait. They serve to show that there are still in the nation men big, and brave, and strong enough to wait until they are called before answering the summons.

'CORDING TO TIT CODE.

It has been many moons since 1 America has seen a duel; that is, a
 duel between gentlemen fought "ac-
 cording to the code.' Before the 1 Civil War duelling was the recognized l form of settling differences between gentlemen and this form of fight gen. erally took place because of a woman. Now, in our own state of Connecti- cut we have fair promise of seeing the sport revived, for from no other
 that the populace there is all aglow
 with excitement because one young
 man has challenged another to fight
 a duel,-and the challenge has been
 as the weapons and the principles are
 making preparation to secure proper
 seconds. Some secluded spot must
 be selected, the moon must be high
 polished before the affair will meet
 with any reasonable degree of success.
 One of the youths in question is resident of New Orleans and, it is said his blood boiled when a young lady was not accorded the proper courtesy demanded by southern chivalry. He is determined to up- hold the traditions of old It is to be presumed that the boys will forget their passion for duelling even be- fore the cold moonlight shines on two drawn swords in some secluded nook
 in the woods. At best this form of fighting was never extremely popular and there is no danger of it ever com
 ing again into style. The "code' has been buried many years. Too many good men were lost to the world at the hands of less scrupulous indi- viduals who happened to be either good shots or experts at fencing. Other and better ways for gentlemen to settle their differences have come to the front and it is we'll that they be not displaced by a long forgotten art-even if South Norwa1k must be deprived of excitement.

America Leads World
 In Dairy Production

Washington, D. C., Feb. 1S.-Ihat milk and butter shortage need never take place in this country no matter how completely isolated from the rest Of the world it might become in some future condition of it's development, is a bit of interesting information con- tained in a study just prepared Tor the National Geographic society at Wash ington on the worlds dairy industry. Despatches from several of the war ring countries in Europe carry notices of serious shortages of butterfats and of milk: and, regarding the insufficient cv of milk supplies in certain belliger- ent lands. much has been said about the hardship worked upon the babies. The societys review of butter and milk production in the various countries re- duces questions just now of greatest interest concerning the nature or fhe wars reaction upon humanltys milk pail and butter firkin to concrete 1lg- ures. The following bulletin embodies the results:

billion gallons year. This is an aver- age of nearly one gallon per COW day. Exclusive of the milk and cream con- sumed on the farms of the country (which, by the way, represents the bulk of our production,) our dairy products are worth s60O,OO0,OOO d year.
 'In other words, they are worth enough to build a Panama Canal and pay for the maintenance of the Amer lcan army and navy every year.
 "Only one-third of all of the milk produced in the United States is sold from the farm. Much of that which remains is used for domestic purposes there, although a billion pounds of butter is proudly exhibited by the Am erican farm as one of it's by-products While ten out of every seventeen pounds of our butter is produced on the farm, nearly all of our cheese is made in factories

Now that it is definitely esta ablished that the Russians, under Grand Duke Nicholas, captured Erzerum, the Eng
 fish, French, and Italians may look forward to the spring campaign with some degree of presumption and hope, for this is one of the greatest military achievements so far accomplished by Russia and proves conclusively that the bear that walks like a man. has the power to "come back" Indeed
 the effects of this stirring accomplish ment will not wear away for some time to come, and it's echoes will re- verberate throughout the Far East, showing the wonderful powers of re cuperation possessed by the Czar's sol diers. The world sees that the Rus sians are not completely out of the running, that they still have a flare back, and their power is to be meas ured by the military strength shown in the taking of Erzerum. After many months of tiresome and languid inter- est this flash will somewhat reviv~ spirit among the entente powers. lt may spur the Russians on to greater and bigger achievements, and en- gender more activity among her allies.
