LABOR HAS SPOKEN

Chicago Tribune: There are those who permit
themselves the needless speculation, Where does labor
stand ?'-as if it we're pertinent to investigate the very
groundwork of the nation. If one such person re-
manned yesterday, he could not have failed to find an
abundant answer to his interrogation. Labor spoke.
In Chicago and in all other centers Of the country it
was a full-throated, rousing declaration Of solid Amer
icanisna. Not only that: it was not merely the negligible
acceptance that I'VE are with the nation" but It was
this profound emphasis: we are the nation" There
was no laggard quiescence in the strong, swinging stride
for expression Of something that is not negotiable in
spoken words. It was as # they were saying, Garry
on, we will not fall Inexorably they came on, thou
sands upon thousands. Their measured tramp seemed
to be announcing to the world that if these be not
enough there,w be more and yet more. In this great
hour there is no greater voice, no greater assurance, no
greater resolution than that labor carries on.

WHO is THE PUBLIC?

Kansas City Star: We hear much about the public.
It is seldom praised; often it is berated. The public
will stand for anything, we are told. The public likes
to be duped, said P. T. Barnum years ago in explanation
Of his success as a Snowman. Society never advances,
declared the philosopher Emerson. The public Is a
huge beast, someone else has said. Almost anybody
who talks about the public or matters pertaining to the
public will reiterate such opinions today. And no Of
Tense is taken; no indignation meetings are held and
no resolutions drawn up in condemnation Of such in
sulting language. Apparently nobody feels insulted.
It all comes back to you and me who started tne
discussion. You are a vital part Of the public: I am.
You owe it to yourself and the cause Of justice. as do. l.,
to wait not a moment in doing something, in going
straight to a neighbor and with him to somebody else,
and on and on until an army Is raised and the outrage
is put down. Let US realize our own Individual respon-
sibilities and not exhaust our indignation oman abstract
public. The public will do its duty when you and 1 act.
