TWO UNFORTUNATE ISSUES.

Municipal politics in New York
has taken an unfortunate turn, and
two issues have been injected into
the campaign which. while they have
place there. are bound to result in
harm no matter how the election
goes.
One is the issue Of Americanism
and the other the question of the
Gary system Of education.
Mayor Mitchell has brought the
question of his whole-hearted sup
port OF the administration in the
war, into the foreground. With the
example Of Chicago before them, New
Workers cannot deny that such an
issue has it's place in municipal
politics at this time. Yet. however
the election goes. it will carry COM
fort to the enemy. II Mayor Mitchell
is defeated, enemies Of America at
home and abroad will say it is be-
cause America is not supporting the
war. If he wins. the total vote OF
his adversaries can be shown as evil
dence of the same alleged fact.
The absurd claim that the Gary
school system is a Rockefeller idea
to increase wage slavery" has been
set up by the Tammany candidate,
and the school children have been
melted to strike. Parental slip
pers properly applied should be the
punishment for the children. but it
Is not so easy to dispose of the in
citers of these strikes. Ida TarbelI,
the most persistent foe Rockefeller
ever had. comes energetically to the
defense OF the Gary system, and If it
needs a defender among intelligent
people, her answer should be SUM-
cient. The result. however, will be
to create distrust of this progressive
plan in the minds Of thousands OF
New Workers who are reached
through their emotions and not their
intellect. II this issue had to be
raised, 1t should have been by an
honest attack. and not by stirring up
the children.

WAR AND THE "INTEL.
LEcTuALS".

so-called "Intellectuals" in Ameri-
ca, have adopted a supercilious atti-
tude toward the war that is more
dangerous and more exasperating
than the open disloyalty OF frankly
pro-German organs. Open disloyalty
can make no Roadway now.
One much quoted journal Of opin-
ion has become little better than a
deodorized edition Of Vierecks. 1t
views the war Internationally from an
Office window, as a more or less in
teresting academic question, and dis
cusses prolixly the questions Of free
dom of speech" and "emancipated
thinking. 1t provides the brains, the
thoughts and even the words, for the
lesser fry who ape 1t. and the pratt
ings of many a petty pacihst editor
can be traced to 1t.
"Emancipated thought" is needed,
but so is some emancipated money,
and an emancipated army and an
emancipated navy. The amount OF
emancipated thinking these prating
poll-parrots would do. IL Germany
won this war could be measured
without difficulty. Any emancipat-
ing that will be done will be done by
the armies and navies of Allies, and
by the patriots who view the war
emotionally, and see in it something
calling for every ounce Of their en-
ergy.
The war does not call for the exer-
else of classroom logic; 1t is not a
+ Chautauqua for the mental gymnas-
! tics Of parlor Socialists and the pale
pink thoughts of "Intellectuals". The
actual enslavement Of Belgian work
men by the thousands, and the muir
! der Of women and children won't dbe
stopped by establishing the rights OF
these "Intellectuals" to become arti-
! culats".

DriUe Against Labor Troubles
ATTAINING All ObjectiUes
SUGGEST PLAN TO
AVERT STRIKES
Montana Labor Unions and
Employers Recommend
Great Falls Method
(By Associated Press.l

Butte, Mont, Oct. 22.-In an effort
to do away with strikes and Iockouts
for the duration of the war, some
of the leading labor unions of Mon
tana have joined hands with the
Employers association of Montana,
recommending to President Wilson,
Secretary Wilson and Governor
Stewart that the plan of settling
differences now used in Great Falls
Billings, Butte, Helena, Lewistown
and some of the other towns of the
state be adopted as a nationwide
measure.
The plan has been practiced in
Great Falls since the strike in that
city with good results.
1t is practiced in Helena and has
brought industrial peace to that city.
1t has been adopted in Billings,
Lewistown, Butte, Havre and other
towns and has resulted in the
elimination of labor disturbances.
The plan is simply written
agreement that before either side will
resort to strikes or lockouts, they
will attempt to adjust differences in
conferences, and, failing in this, to
arbitration, said John H. Mcintosh,
state secretary of the EMPLOYERS
Association Of Montana last night.
This plan has been unanimously
endorsed by the Great Falls Building
Trades council, by the trades and
labor assembly of that city, and all
the business men Of Great Falls,
the employers association
there have endorsed it. Endorsement
of both sides is now being given
in Helena, Billings and other towns
in the state where the plan is being
given practical demonstration.
With these endorsements the plan
will be presented to the federal
committee now touring
the west at the request of President
If the plan works in Mon
tana, there is no reason why il
should not work elsewhere"

Merely DOING us pUTY.

The state board OF university and
school lands has decided to invest
R2O0,O0O in Liberty Bonds.
The board is to be congratulated on
Its decision. It is an act Of simple
duty that The Forum has repeatedly
advocated. The school lands from
which the fund Is derived. were ORR
ginally the gift Of the nation to the
state. Now the nation needs money,
and the state cannot do less than lend
back a portion of the proceeds Of
these lands. National bonds are one
OF the investments which are speci-
fically mentioned as being a proper
investment for the board. No invest
ment was made in the first Liberty
loan, but the board has seen that the
patriotic people of North Dakota fav-
ored such a step and has taken 1t.

WILL REMOVE ALLEN
SIDING NEAR COMSTOCK

A hearing on the petition for the
removal of the Allen siding on the
Great Northern, between Comstock
and Wolverton brought no appear
ance at Moorhead except on the part
of the railroad company. In the alb
sence of the commissioners, who are
all at Washington, D. c.. the board
was represented by Thos. Yapp, as
sistant secretary.
This siding was put in several
years ago when the Allen farm was
operated for the production of seed
and seed potatoes. During recent
years it has been used but little
and the railroad company petitioned
for an order permitting it's removal.
Division Superintendent Degnan,
CrookstOn, represented the company
at the hearing this morning.

making the call for the second army,
when it is needed. This probably
will not be until after the first OF the
year at the earliest.
Under the new regulations, every
man will be be classified in one of
based on a mans eligibility, and this
will be determined by such factors
as his occupation and his dependents.
II, for example a man is not employ
ed in an occupation Of direct value
to the government in wartime, such
as farming or shipbuilding, and If he
has no dependent relatives or fam
fly. he will be placed in Glass One.
Every registered man will be CLASH
fed. and the next army will be filled
from the first class, or If that is not
sufficient the second class will be
called upon and then the third. The
physical examination will take place
after a man has been called.
The new plan is expected to rem
edy many weaknesses Of the original
plan. President Wilson was much
opposed to exemptions of any class
of workmen after they had been call
ed. The new plan will overcome this
objection and yet keep at home the
men who are OF greatest value to the
government. 1t will also greatly
simplify the work of the exemption
boards. This work was becoming
most burdensome and 1t has been
difficult to keep together the local
and district boards in all parts of
the country. Every man will also
know his exact status long before he
is called, and will be able to make
his plans accordingly.

miners, whose walkout threatened a
serious fuel situation in the state
would, for the most part, be at their
tasks before night. A few stragglers,
they say, will probably refuse to re-
sumo their work, but the large mines
of the state will be in operation, the
strikers having agreed to await ac-
ton on wage increases by the fuel
administration.
In Chicago, the fuel situation is
acute. Dealers assert there is only

act providing for prohibition
throughout the province. The re-
suits of the first year Of this prohi-
bition are now becoming known, and
they comprise the usual wonderful
story of a tremendous lessening in
the need for relief work, and of a
great falling off in the number Of
arrests for crimes of all kinds. Ac-
cording to a statement made recent
ly by Sir William Hearst, premier of
Ontario, not only have patriotic pur-
poses Of the highest order been
served, but every branch OF bust
ness and every home has felt the
benefit of the passing OF the act.
There are" he said. mo prisoners
in the jails. and comfort and hap
piness have been added to the lives
Of great number OF people"
Not the least interesting feature
about the working Of prohibition in
the province is the change which
has come over the attitude of those
who, in former days, were most Bit
terly opposed to any such move
ment. Today, these people are to
be numbered amongst the most
earnest supporters of prohibition,
and, as Sir William Hearst points
out, the sentiment necessary for the
proper enforcement Of the law is
constantly growing. guaranteeing
alike its efficiency and stability"
Considering that not so very long
ago, the province OF Ontario was re-
garded as q stronghold Of the liquor
interest, such a change Is full of
promise for the future of prohibi-
ton, not only in Canada but
throughout the world.
