Unrest and the Legislature

There will doubt be legislation attempted in
the next legislature to curb the red flag.
There will be much explosive oratory the part of
SNUG solons against the various radical elements
and with their oraory they will contentedy drop the
problem.
But they might well learn early that a law curbing
the red flag IS only surface treatment of the social evil
Flag flag there will be growing protests if industrial
and political ills continue.
The remedy is in tolerant adjustment of things. Ex-
profteerng must again be permitted The
the who tolls is entitled to decent living cond-
tions. Unemployment must be insured against
The earth must be made fit to live in-and it not
be owned by handful
The legislature must seek TO give the people all the

STORY OF NUMBER 40

40 years ago an old doctor was put ting up a medicine for diseases of the blood, that cured the worst cases of specific blood poison, and time proved that the cures were permanent. After many years I secured the prescription (being a druggist). and took each in gredient separately and referred to my U. s. Dispensatory and other books on medicine and found the medical prop critics set down as follows: Employed fin diseases of the glandular system, in blood poison, scrofula, constipation, stomach and liver troubles, chronic rheumatism, catarrh, in sores, ulcers, skin eruptions, mercurial and lead poisoning. Under its use nodes, tu- mors and scrofulous swellings that have withstood all other treatment disappear as if by magic" To com my fortieth year as a drug gist I named this medicine Number 40 For The Blood.

THE VOICE OF BRITISH LABOR

A curious anomaly has arisen in British labor circles. While the rank and file of labor. say the English papers, are whole-heartedly out to win the war, their supposed leaders. such men as Arthur Henderson, Ramsey Macdonald, and Philip Snowden. are openly avowed pacifists, and have managed in some way to remain in power as the spokesmen of the work CTS. The London New Witness, a strong anticapitalist weekly. says:
 "The reason for this appaT ant diff ference is not far to seek. Tle over whelming majority of trade-unionists are heartily in favor of the war and of the policy of fighting to victori- ous finish. Certain of their leaders, however, while maintaining the trade union position, have pacifist Jennings. and the difficulty arises that if the rank and file of the movement reg ister their disapproval of these ten dencies, it will follow that such dis approval will be held to extend to their conduct of trade-union matters. Thus labor as a whole would present a divided front to the outside world, and what Is even more important, men of ability who have admittedly done much to coordinate and strength en labor's resistance to capital would find themselves at a disadvantage. The small proportion of pacifists in the labor movement have become prominent because for the most part they hold official position in their unions. And the reason for this is that every local branch, however small, it will generally be found that the ordinary type of workman, at once a stanch trade-unionist and a sincere patriot, will not trouble to put in so many attendances as the man who is tinged with internationalism, and who in support of his creed will go te any trouble to obtain control of the ma chinery of labor"
 Commenting rather acridly upon the official labor-leaders, the London Spectator remarks:
 'It is not too much to hope that
Bisbee daily review., 1918-11-03

the spectacle of such leadership as this, with it's confused thought and muddled morals. will not escape the attention of the censure of the many hundreds of thousands of patient sheep who have hitherto allowed themselves to be folded according to the misleading verdicts of the card vote. As we have pointed out on previous occasions. the mass of work ingmen allow themselves to be led by the few who take the trouble to gather responsibility into their hands. When these few men in each union have decided upon policy, simple majority vote counts as though 1t were the voice of the whole union. Yet even the majority vote as often as not is obtained by the simple fact that there is no other policy in the field. Only the few politically mind ed persons have troubled to take ac- ton. At the time the real feeling of the workingman are represented by such a spontaneous outburst of en- thusiasm as was seen when the news of the great British victory was an- nounced at the Trade-Union congress. It would be difficult to conceive any thing more truly undemocratic than the present system. The people who profess to speak off the majority really stand for a minority masquer- ading as a majority"
 Writing in the Socialist London Chronicle on "The Voice of Labor" Alexander M. Thompson thus bears witness:
 'I have travelled for this week to hear it, from London to Durham, to Barnsley, to Cardiff and Maesteg, and back again to Derby. 1 have heard it in tradesmen's offices. in clubs, hotels, workers houses, railway-carriages conference-halls, and even down a coal-pit And the more l hear it the more convinced I become that the voice of labor is certainly not that of the most fluent or loudest speak CTS at labor conferences. The voice of labor, like that Of Mir. Thomas At kins. is disposed occasionally to grouse, and not without good reason.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-11-03

But the voice of labor is unquestion- ably and emphatically for fighting German truculence to its knees, in or der that its plots against the peace of Europe may be decisively squashed. and that peace may be restored on a safer basis than our generation has known.
 "The chief concern of the mass of the people is undoubtedly to win the war, and thereby secure a permanent peace. The chief concern of the most glib mOuthpieces of labor is by every possible means to prevent the victory of the allies and thereby secure-a Rolshevik peace"
 Another London Socialist weekly, The New Age. writes:
 "The onus of the democratic settle ment falls upon the allied labor move ment. We do not mind by what means they choose to carry out their task, whether by personal conference with German labor or by the public appeal of one labor movement to another; but that they can not leave every thing to the governing classes and the armies, and trust democracy to come out of the settlement, we are certain. By virtue not only of their past claims but of their whole future, the allied labor parties owe it as a duty to see that GeIhany is demo cratized."
 Whatever else British labor may be, it is not socialistic. At least here is the opinion of that veteran Socialist, Robert Blatchford, the editor of the London Clarion:
 "On the whole, do not think social ists need worry. Let us get the war over and the sailors and soldiers back home and then we may be able to arrive at some broader and higher ideal of socialism and democracy than We are likely to get from the workers and their leaders who think more of what they are going to get than of what they are going to give. The people are not ready for socialism yet. They are not wise enough, nor good enough When they are. socialism will establish itself"

The really well dressed woman this winter will be the one that dons last winters dresses and braves the world. Old things made to look like new. Re- modelling and a touch of trimming makes a world of difference. In sea- sons in the past We put aside such dresses and went shopping but now they are seized upon with great de- light like finding a forgotten fortune in an old well. Materials and textures that are well nigh impossible to obtain today are used and reveled in for they look as well as they did before the war with a little pressing and thought. At the same time they save money for the things that wear out and have

 Every piece of wool material that you possess can be used. If it is old wool it can be used to line child's coat or ones own winter suit and wraps. Satins and velveteens are used so much. this year, both because they are smart and because they save wool materials, but are not warm enough alone. And if lining has to be bought that is using wool again, so these old garments come in very nicely.
 Materials that are not badly worn can always be freshened by cleaning, pressing or steaming. Silks and sag
