 That depends on our U-boat war fare. If we sink an American ship we shall get war. If not, I suppose we can avoid It.

RESIDENT TRUSTEE OF
UNION PRINTERS HOME

Thomas McCafrery. Colorado Springs,
resident trustee Union Printers Home,
has been intimately connected with the
Union Printers Home since its incep-
tion. first serving on a local committee
appointed to inspect the construction
Of the foundations of the building,
later as a member Of the international
visiting committee, and since 1896 the
resident member Of the board of trus-
tees. He has held continuous mem
mership in the International Typo
graphical Union for forty-two years.
In recent address Mr.. McCaffery
said: 1T must be apparent to all who
give the subject thoughtful considera-
ton, that at least one member of the
board of trustees should be a resident
of Colorado Springs, where the Home
is located. The Union Printers Home
is Incorporated under the laws of the
state of Colorado, and its legal domi-
cile is in Colorado Springs, where ITS
corporation meetings must be held.
These meetings are conducted by the
resident trustee, under delegated pow
ers from the board, and without cost
to the Home.
'The laws of the state of Colorado
and the ordinances Of the city of Colo
RADIO Springs are subject to change at
any time. and the interests of the
Home are liable to be seriously affect
ed thereby. The Homes most valu
able asset, and an indispensable
requisite, is its water supply, which is,
derived from the city of Colorado
Springs, and is controlled by its ordi-
nances. 1t is essential, therefore. that
the Home should have a resident trus-
zee who is familiar with these ordi-
nances and who is in n position to
h., N nF -
institution whenever an occasion may
arise.
"The following are few of the
many duties that are required of the
resident trustee: To examine the
Home bills monthly and to see that
they are properly entered upon the
books of the institution before they
are approved for payment; to pass
upon the applications of members
seeking re-admisslon; to consult with
the architects in relation to proposed
alterations. additions, and improve
ments; advise with the superintendent
wishes of the board of trustees; to act
as the representative of the board IN
conducting annual and special corpor-
alton meetings; and be ever ready and
willing to assist in solving the many
urgent and perpleNing questions that
arise in the conduct of the Home.
I'm the maintenance of the Home,
have always favored an economy not
inconsistent with the well-being and
comfort of its residents, believing that
il the Home is TO prove satisfactory,
it must be conducted ON much higher
plane than il it were state or county
institution. There is no sanatorium in
this country that provides so fully
and generously for its patients and
residents as does the Union Printers

Our Allies Are Nonpartisan.
Mr.. Baer pointed out that even
France and England have become nom
partisan and are choosing men of all
political faiths for guiding the nation.
"Nonpartisanship is needed in con-
gress today" he said. There are
about an equal number of Democrats
and Republicans there, and l believe
nonpartisan vote would be mighty
valuable at this time. If good piece
of legislation, such as reclamation of
the Red River valley, is introduced by
some Democrat, the Republicans are
all against it because they are afraid
that it would make the Democrats
popular in North Dakota and that
they would be elected again. Let the
Republicans introduce the same meas
ure and the Democrats will vote
against that bill because it might help
the Republicans to get into power
again. But / believe that if a man is
a nonpartisan he will vote for a bill
because he thinks it is in the best in
terests of the people, whether it is
introduced by a Democrat or a Re-
publican"
Unite Against Middlemen.
What the recent events in North Da-
kota portend no man can say. Presi-
dent Wilson carried the state in the
presidential election, yet the Demo-
cratic candidate for congress was a
poor third this time. Some prophesy
that a new influence has come into
national politics and will fight largely
in the next national election.
This is sure, that from being merely

Nonpartisan League has become a
working class movement in the cities.
The district from which Baer was
elected included most Of the urban
population of the state At first sus-
picious of political agitation for state
owned elevators, flour mills and pack
ing houses because they could see no
other result than high prices for the
farmers, the laboring class has come
to believe that in doing away with the
middleman prices to consumers will
be lowered.
Cooperate With l. W. W.
This entente is best illustrated by
the agreement formed between the ag-
ricultural branch of the / W. W and
the alliance farmers at Minot recently.
The object of the conference was thus
explained by the president Of the Non
partisan League, 4. c Townley:
The farmers wish TO avoid the an
noyances that have been caused by ir-
responsible harvest labor in past years.
The agricultural workers union in
eludes nearly all the men who have
been coming to the state to work in

is to get the cooperation of these men

suring square deal both to the farm
