MISSOURI OWES $2,O5O,9OO

The deficit confronting the Mis-
souri, legislature from the Major adj
ministration, which had been variously
estimated around one and one-half
million dollars, has reached the amaz-
ing total of $2,025,900
These figures gathered by a house
committee headed by Representative
Rich Cornell are believed to contain
all the outstanding claims against
the state.
The huge total of the state short
age has stunned the legislative lead

allow a child to say l can't, never
brighten a child, never tease a child,
never allow the child to lose self re-
spect or respect for his parents, and
above all never Danish fairies from
home, that spot on earth supremacy
blest, dearer, sweeter spot than all
the rest.
Parents of the modern type rele-
gate the task, which Nature intended
was to be theirs, to the school teach
err. Children are allowed to run wild
until the age of six years and then
sent to a teacher whom the parents
may never have seen. The teacher
is supposed to stuff the child's cram
mum with knowledge, even as the
mother has stuffed his stomach with
bread and butter. The child is eX-
pected to act exactly like other chill
dren and thus our poor children are
being deprived of imagination, the
gift of the gods. We cannot put a
number of children into any special
system and expect them to come out
works of art Instead they come out
sausages-eXactly alike.
Again l ask-"Are parents humane
to their children? Let each parent
see if he comes up to the standard
of real humanity-that of kindness,
tenderness, compassion tending to re-
fine, to learn politeness, which is to
do and say-the kindest thing in the
kindest way"

BURNS GRATING
MANUFACTURERS

A number of manufacturers in the
United States have received a circular
letter from the Burns Deceive Agency
offering to sell complete copies of
the full Proceedings of the Baltimore
Convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor for the small sum of
$500.
Some of these same manufacturers
have received a circular letter from
Frank Morrison, Secretary of the
American Federation of Labor offer
ing to save them $2475 on each copy
of the Proceedings, having set the
price at 25 cents.
The Journal will get a copy of
Morrison's compilation "free gratis
for nothin,'" but it would like to have
a copy of the Burns output, as that
must be an elegant volume.

We must arouse ourselves out of all
this stupor.
We must get initiative-we must
show activity and desire, and prove
our WILL to deserve any support
from these three million of organized
men and women of America.
There are sixty thousands of you
in this state alone!
In your hands rests tremendous
power for good to self, to family and
to society.
Will you use this power?
Of course | mean the collective
power, the organized power, a power
we'll led, wisely directed, that would
be enhanced by other well organized
and we'll directed forces of organized
labor.
AS individuals we are powerless to
effect any lasting good for ourselves.
AS an organization we become a pow
err, a force for good, a movement to
be considered, positive factor with
vision, ideal and destiny, a united
working class to be respected, honor
ed and reckoned with.
Are you willing to become a factor

READY FOR A
REFERENDUM
Union Record, Feb. 24.)


Resentment at the lack of consid-
Grafton for their lives and limbs given
by the present Legislature is being
expressed in promises by electrical
workers all over the state to refer
to the people the measure passed by
the present Legislature granting five
years extension of time for comply
ing with the safety rules for over
head construction passed by the 1913
Legislature, which had already al
lowed five years for the necessary
changes. The law requires proper
spacing of wires on power transmits
sion poles to allow linemen to work
with less danger than at present, and
is a safety measure of the utmost
importance to those workers.
On Monday evening Business Agent
VIM. F. Delaney Of Electrical Work
ers' Local No. II, reported to that
body his experience in Olympia try
ing to secure hearing on House Bill
No. ~ on its merits. Delaney stated
that it is one of the most reaction
airy legislatures he ever heard of.
The legislators are not even making a
prentense of attempting to give
square deal to the people. The most
eloquent pleas for ameliorative legis-
lation from such powerful pleaders
as Harley L. Hughes, legislative
agent of the Washington State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor; Ernest P. Marsh,
president of the same organization;
Martin j. Flyzik, president of the
Washington district of miners; Will
liam Short, secretary of the miners,
and J. G. Brown, president of the
single weavers, fall fiat. The body
turns a deaf ear to facts, figures and
human rights, and follows the in
structions evidently received before
election.

In summing up Australian labor
conditions during the past year, the
Daily Herald of Adelaide, South Aus
tralia, indicates that while the trade
union movement has lost many mem
bers on European battlefelds, and
has made few industrial gains be-
cause of the war, it remains intact.
On the political field disaster is rec
orded as a result of the referendum
vote on the question of CONSUMPTION.
Although forced enlistment was de-
feated by the people Of this continent,
it ''was the immediate cause of the
split in the Labor party" Attempts
are now being made to reconcile diff
ferences.

THE BOY AND THE HEN
(By Winifred Sackville Stoner,
Author
of Natural Education, in the Febru
airy number of The Humanitarian

Not long ago | visited a poultry
show and heard a proud poultry deal
err sing loud praise for certain hen
which had been Matched from a fam
GUS hen mothers egg and which like
its mother was making a record in
the number of eggs laid in a certain
space of time. He boasted that he
could make hen just as hen should
be and gave proof of his hen breeding
abilities.
At his side stood round shouldered.
near sighted lad of ten years who
hung his mouth open like fly trap,
shuffled from one unsteady leg to the
other, distorted his face with an ugly
stick" and looked as miserable as any
boy of his age could look. l asked
the age of Mr.. Poultry Breeders son
and learned that he was just ten and
of no earthly use. He wouldn't help
his father care for the chickens, he
did not like to go to school, he was
always ailing and was constant tor
ment to his mother. At least-this
was the fathers description of his
eldest son. There were seven young
er ones and perhaps they were more
attractive, but l doubt if any of them
will reach their tenth year and be as
superior among children as their faith
er's prize hen is among chikens.
After talking to the poor lad l
found that he was suffering from
adenoids and was bitter against all
people because he had been whipped
and scolded since he was a baby and
had to make room for another baby
on his mothers knee. And then /
heard the Egyptian song of quality
not quantity and the cry of eugenists
for better babies as well as better
dogs, cats and chickens.
1t has been demonstrated that we
can produce fine types of different
animals, why then cannot parents be
as kind to their children as they are
to dumb beasts? 1t is true that some
physicians are trying to prove that
prental influence has no effect upon
children but we know that the Greeks
proved the power of thought before
birth and we are proving it every
day. At least there can be no harm
in parents striving to live in love and
harmony before the birth of a child
and the mother in particular should
Danish hurry, worry, fear, let in the
fairies love and cheer"

to Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
Societies and are inhuman to THEN

rested for beating animals and YET

is waging successful strikes against

H5Iy City Has Been Center Of
Murder RapIe and PiIIage
for Hundreds of
Years.
BY MONROE REEVES.

All Christendom rejoices today
over the glad tidings from Jerusalem
After 700 years of hostile possession
the sepulcher of Jesus Christ is guard.
ed by stalwart soldiers of Christian
England.
The unspeakable Turk has been
driven out and the crushing heel OF
the merciless Mohanmedan has been
removed from the necks of a peace
full people who have silently suffered
for centuries.
Unlike the murderous Saracens
under Saladin, sultan of Egypt, who
slew for lust of blood and pillaged
temple and synagogue and even
threatened to remove the last trace
of the Holy Sepulcher when the cru
saders were driven out in 1887, the
British, French and Italians threw
their protesting arm about the Islam
Mosque of Omar that it might ont
be profaned by unbelievers.
In marked contrast with the
wanton crushing OF the cathedral of
Rheims or the ruthless waste of beau
tiful Louvain by the Teuton hordes
since the cruel world war began is
the humane action of General Allenby
in preventing the sacking of religious
edifice or the senseless slaughter OF
unoffending and unprotected inhab-
itantS.
For nearly 5000 years, from the
time when King David captured Je-
rusalem, through the stirring days
when Alexander the Great was max
ing history, before Hannibal or the
Caesars had placed their impress on
the progress of the world, down to
the time of Godfrey de Bouillon and
Richard Coeur de Leon and the great
medieval crusaders, the city has en-
dured sieges and has suffered as even
the devastated towns of Serbia and
Roumania have not.
. Blood and fire have marked the ex-
istence of Jerusalem almost from its
inception. On the site of King
