LABOR CONSCRIPTION.

II necessary labor can be conscrpted for shipbud-
ing and other war work. There is no question OF the
moral and legal right. government with power TO
draft men for the army also has power TO draft men
for industries necessary support the army And the
public unquestonably would support the government
in such a step-it it were demonstrably necessary.
Thus far it is not necessary, aud let US devouty
hope that Will never be.
The draft is recognized the right thing for mill
tary service but Will be disgrace to American
labor if we have to draft for industrial service
either because failure enough workmen TO volun-
teer or because of disloyay, seishness or Incidence
on the part OF those employed in vital work
In all our discussions about drafting labor, however
it is we'll to recognize important principle laid down
by Secy Wilson. There viii never be CONSUMPTION
of labor" says the secretary of labor. for use IN
privately owned shipyards any other private in
Gastry If it should ever become necessary TO conscrip
labor the private owner ard the private profit Will
be eliminated"
That is say. the government may conscript men
only TO work for the government Before drafting men
TO work private shipyards, the government itself
would have TO take over the shipyards Conscrption
and proheering will go together Labor would not
endure it, and should not be expected TO.

FACTIONS IN TOWN LIFE.

one of the greatest difficulties promoting civic
improvement the presence of factonal spirit rms
is more characteristic of small villages Yet 1t is seen
in many places that are big enough know better.
When good proposition for civic betterment is
made it often fails notice. If you ask
why YOU will be told by influential people that 1t
didn't come from the right quarter. 1t did not have
the backing of the persons who are prominent in
business and society and consequently that type Of
people woudn't listen it attach any importance
to it, There is great tendency for people to ally
themselves socially in clques and sets.
If a civic Improvement proposition comes from the
other crowd it is dropped by all outside the bunch
where il starts II is surprising how people will let
their civic interests be overshadowed by petty bust
ness concerns If man becomes engaged in con-
toversv his business friends Will stand by him regard
less Of the merits of the If ne is aspiring TO office
and his business friends he is unfit. yet they
will nut him over knowing that the public interests
Will suffer The community interest comes last in
their thoughts.
In many places race origin religious connections and
relation with fraternal organizations sway public in
erests If certain group a sufficient share
of public favors off with the heads of the public
officials All the work functions of the municipality
are looked upon as pork People will denounce graft
spirit in congress and the legislature but when 1t comes

A IL you need is one liar and the
n "clackers" will do the rest;
\ "and all who heard it added
something new, and all who told it
made engagements, too" They are
the "sIackers" in these war times
through the unbridling of their
tongues. The difference between
the "clackers" and the "slackers" Is
a difference of method rather than
results; one of indifference or design
rather than patriotism.
David said in his haste, all men
are liars" but he need not have have
been in such hurry. Calm delibera-
ton would have brought him to
much the same conclusion. The liar
is not alone the designing inventor,
but includes as well, the designing or
Indifferent repeater. Neither is it a
respector of sex. The greedy for a
morsel of gossip, the pretender of ex-
ceptional wisdom; they begin by
making falsehood appear like truth,
and end by making truth appear like
falsehood.

There is one law on his books that
