tornado tore through that county Wen'
nesday afternoon. A few minutes Ia
ter DR.. Louis p. Hall, president OF the
Ann Arbor chapter, was notified, and
went Immediately to the Northneiu
district for a personal investigation Oh
the damage done. The same evening
Henry w. Douglas, president OF the
Washtenaw county chapter started re-
lief work at Delhi.
Early Thursday morning workers
went to both these districts and
agents made a complete survey OF
practically the whole path of the
storm. BY Thursday evening reports
of the Red Cross agents had been
made. $1,000 for relief work had been
raised, the carpenters and masons OF
Ann Arbor had offered their services
for three days, committee OF ex-
perts had been formed and, divided
into four groups, assigned to four dis
tricts to relieve, and financial com.
mittee to collect additional subscrip-
tions had been named. And, by Satur-
day evening, when rain began to fall
over the devastated district, the Red
Cross workers rested content in the
knowledge that every victim of the
tornado slept that night with a roof
over his head and with a good start
toward the rehabilitation of himself
and his family.
Here is part of what was done, and
how. when the tornado of May 26 laid
waste the cities OF Nation and Char
lesion, ILL.,, with Joss of nearly 100
lives. 1000 persons made homeless.

Considerable criticism is heard about
the capitol from substantial and influ-

hearing which has sort of fzzled ont.
The testimony has been largely a repc-

such frail evidence, as has been pre-

Where Is Labor Leaders Power?

Months ago, among the wr plans of the administration, a n adjustment
board was provided, whose duty it as to be to prevent strikes and other dis
turbances in establishments engaged in war work. The supposed leaders Of
the labor organizations agreed to the plan; if we remember Alright, they
accepted membership o the board. Yet strikes have not been obviated;
they have been numerous-the one in the Pacific coast shipyards being the
most serious; and it is pertinent to inquire whether the leaders of organized
labor, meaning by that the men who hold high Office in those organizations
politics and legislation, these mel assume to speak with the united voice Of
organized labor, they promise to deliver" it's vote, they threaten to make
use of its power at the polls. How does it happen that they are impotent in
a situation like the present?
After we entered the war with Germany the Liberal was delighted to
hear of the many bodies of organized labor pledging their support to the
government and more especially that they would refrain from strikes during
the war. Samuel GOmpers, president of the American Federation of Labor,
was one Of those who yelled the loudest.
Why has not this patriotic promise been fulfilled?

A Funeral For Town Knockers

The old town knocker and the good enough for me" guy in the village of
Lordsburg would be utterly taken off his feet if he could take ne good look
into the activity Of the city council Of Lordsburg and what they ire planning
to do and also the progressive movements of the LOrdsburg Chamber of Com
merce.
Some of these old fossils and draw backs who have some things their own
way now and m satisfied with Lordsburg 3 a village handicapped for the
lack Of funds and rejoice in it, The san old sorespos in Our daily life who
believe the streets will never be repaired, hogs. cows and burros taken off
the public thOroughfares, or any progress made in Lordsbug should get a
hep on them for this town is hep to them.
They may believe it OF not but the tax Is going to be collected for the
repair Of the main streets and likely the Southern Pacific will join in with
the city and actually build not only a decent street but perhaps a park. And
the city is going to collect the usual tax levy for municipal purposes and
the occupation taxes which have heretofore gone to the county. My but doesn't
that hurt some of these town drawbacks.
LOrdsburg is growing and progressing despite the efforts of some people
to keep it down.

OF With The Soft Pedal

Toe many Of our large city newspapers are given to the advoeahon Of
son pet ideas, sometmcs j. isn't ven a good idea, but more like graspmg
the opportunity to make a noise and be talked about.
There ar scores Of great newspapers that crave such nOtOnety.
One class Of journalism agtates about something different every week
the soft she'll half baked agitation with which many Of us are familiar and
(which influences nobody but those having the lowest Of intenect.
It is this kind Of journalism that a family paper like The Liberal takes
care to avoid. 1t isn't because such tactics wouldn't go" in a community
like LOrdsburg, but because they are not part Of the papaphemana of con-
srudive journalism.
Merely bowling at something Or other for the sake Of bowling is nothing
that commends itself to The Liberal.
When we get out our axe to chop at something it's going to be sufficient
Of an innovation to be effective.
After remaining what might be called a passive" for som time past
the Liberal has something to say-and lots of it, There ire some things in
Lordsburg, Grant county and even New Mexico upon which a little light
wouldn't hurt a bit. We have something to say and we don't are who it
hurts when We say it,
