AT MOUNT VERNON.7

That was quite a striking scenH when the commissioners from the Entente nations visited the tomb ot George Washington. Haply they had heard of, maybe they had read that last address by the Father of his country: Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence q con- jure you to believe men, fellow-citi- zens) the jealousy of free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican govern ment. But that jealousy to be use ful must be impartial; else it be- comes the very instrument of tha influence to be avoided instead of a defense against it. Excessive partl- ality for one foreign nation. and excessive dislike for another, cause danger only on one side and serve to veil, and even second, the arts or influence on the other. Real ,.atr,ots who may resist the intri- gues of the favorite, are liable to become suspected anl odious while it's tools nd dHpss usurp tEe ar plause and confidence ot the ret'rie to surrender their interests That particular passage, maybe, excited their resolution to pledge their dc mocratic intentions among the com ity of nations. May be so.
 Indeed it may well be that some of these visitors are more keenls familiar with the pregnant text oi the farewell message than are many Americans.

GOSSIPY ENOUGH.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Alaska Labor News of Anchorage, among it's news items the other day contains this spicy paragraph:
 An ugly rumor has been forcing itself upon the public recently that certain we'll known society people had been arrested for violating the marriage laws of, the territory. Upon investigation our reporter finds that no arrests have been made and we trust that this state ment will be the means of putting an end to lot of Irresponsible gas sip''
 If that paragraph is not ironical, the Anchorage paper has less of a sense of the humorous than we have been giving it credit for.

WHAT OF THESE?

Now that conscription is so close to being an accomplished legislative fact, one may well rise to ask what about the Dick Military Bill or the Hay-Chamberlain re-organized mill tary bills?
 Both these latter bills avowedly gave the President the power to draft every able bodied citizen into service via the militia. And why therefore eouscription should be necessary when the draft existed is what puzzles the layman, un- acquainted with the niceties of legls- lative technique.
 We all admitted when the DICK bill went into effect, it meant at any time the President saw fit, com pulsory military service. It gave the President the right to call upon the Governors for every able bodied citizen through their service ill state militia, for draft under the orders of the PreSldehl' anu the scope of this was amplitied by the Hay Chamberlain military bill.
 This paper is now asked by sup scriber why then conscription, and after sizing up the why's and the wherefores ct cetera, we have got to admit that we are stumped. un- less it is intended to give the people the rush act and to establish a pre- cedent may or may not have serious after effects, we do not frankly know.
 Compulsory military service was already and some time ago fully provided for.

AND IN THE EAST.

While pondering over he wond- CTS of the Mooney trial Tn san Francisco, and while admiring the tricks that are vain and ways that are dark upon the part of the west ern officials who have the responsi- bility for enforcing the law-or not' as they damn well please-the mind is relieved to turn to the great city of New York. therein to find that the effete east also little of the dark ways itself which, with out any boasting will take back seat to none.
 Enter David ManusevitZ! David was an employee of the Sulkess de- tective agency. David's companions in arms, Bernet Engel and William Levine, united against striking gar ment workers and did conjure up story as to assault and battery ana attempted murder and criminal as saults which secured the indictment Ol SS 1ntHuDtIS. hli otA iEA~A'' N' N''~ Ladies Garment Workers Union in New York city.
 Manusevitz was the victim in the story. Some surgeon cut him up for a bum appendix, and while con valescing he testified that two members of the strikers organiza- tion had beaten him up with chisel because he was scab.
 Just when everything was ready 20 railroad the strikers and the tes- timony was all prepared by the pro secution under one Breckinredge. who is now under indictment for being bribed by the manufacturers and the detective agency, the cleo tions came around and District At torney Swann got in office. After a probe on his own account Swann dismissed the charges against the garment workers and Breckinredge filed charges with the governor. Swann was ordered investigated by Whitman but to the Investigation, the District Attorney revealed the

 And some people wonder why these labor .frame-ups leave sucn <, bad taste in the mouth when the kept press snorts about the identity of justice" and the Flaw" as ap- piled by such as these.

LABOR OAI\IA

rake mental SIance over dt war stricken Europe, o people, and observe therein that within those lands afflicted by the war there is, besides other notable conditions, shortage of food.
 Men, and women too for that matter, lack the wherewithal in necessities. They are hungry and yet again in many cases they are starving.
 The reason is that the men who delved in the soil and made two vegetables grow where none grew before. and piled up succulent spuds and eke made the granaries bulge with the bounteousness of the haryest-these men are now en- gagged in a much bloodier occupa- tion and are tilling the soil not with blows but with artillery and reaping not the fruits of peaceful husbandry but the harvest of tears and suffering and death.
 It was all well enough when those busy hands applied themselves to the blow and the loom, and in jo" cund mood drove their sturdy teams afeld. Then indeed plenty was scat tered over the smiling land. and there was at least a bellyful.
 But this labor has stopped. It has gone into the trench, the war ship, the intuition factory, the gun shop, the explosive works. And perforce the food is not there.
 Productive labor now turns out steel that you cannot eat; gold that was hard food for Midas; strange and twisted shapes of death dealing ! instruments forged none like them, even in Nulcan's stithy, but all without nutriment.
 And hunger comes and hardship and destitution and wrinkling paun- ches-and the child feels the cry exciting gnaw of that fierce starvation that breaks a mother $ heart, and nerves her to despera- | ton.
 And why but, as we said, because | Labor upon whom the fabric ot your good fortune was builded has ceased to produce food. Your money changers will not conjure harvest | fields you many millioned captains of industry even though they count their profits in their cent per cents, may not inspire the growth of one f row of mealy murphies. Your stock gamblers, pouring into their insatl- ate maw the golden milk for his war babies could never raise suck ing pig or as much grain as would make bowl of mush.
 It must all come from labor.
 So it is that men say labor con quers all things! Labor conquer' nothing All things conquer labor It is chained. It is told to go 10 the field and it goeth: to come to tho trench and it cometh: it is tht whipped slave that covers to it' dungeon.
 And the living hell of it all i! that here is Labor with the nigh of a world of giants amid paltr. few pigmies held in bondage tha' it may serve Here is labor thai can feed the world, that can in crease the happiness of the world that does all things and obeys al orders, the butt of every palsyins power and every betraying policy
 Moreover the pity of it is-witha that latent power-labor paralyzei by ignorance affects the prout motto Labor conquers all things IrNpv of tba Eodci

NEGRO USES SOMETHING
 TO MOVE" GREASE
It Would Have Moved" the Whole House if Hazardous Cleanser
 Hadn't Been Detected.

Because he said it was fine to move" grease, Little Rock negro house cleaner has acquired the gaso line habit and has been carrying gasoline in open vessels into the homes of many Little Rock people.
 He was detected by man at whose home he was working in the act of mixing up a cleaning potion compos- ed largely of gasoline, which he was about to carry into the house where two gas stoves, water heater and a kitchen range were lighted.
 The negro was given a lecture on the terrific danger to which he sub iects occupants of the houses he serves, but it was apparent that nothing but an actual explosion on somebody's preimses will convince him that gasoline is about as safe as dynamite for household use
 "This negro is a professional house cleaner" said the man who related the circumstance. "I don't know where he lives or who he is but he goes about cleaning houses and is doubtless subiecting careless people to dangers"
 "This proves,' said J. S. Speed, manager of the Ark. Actuarial Bu- reau, that a person must be on the alert against the ignorance and care lessness of servants and minor em- ployes whose sense of responsibility is often very light Fire danger turks in many unsuspected places"
