PUBLIC INSURANCE FUNDS

Inspired by the difficulty which
the city authorities are having in the
efforts to reduce local fire insurance
rates by reclassification, Building In
spector Sam Kelley recently advo-
Gated that all property be insured by
the municipality.
He suggested that the owners pay
certain sums to the city, instead of
to the insurance companies, and all
money not paid out for losses would
accumulate in the city treasury. In
this way, he said, there would be
some incentive to add to the eff
cheney of the fire department by in
creasing the motor equipment.
Although this vague proposal re-
ceived little consideration, any plan
providing for publicly conducted
fire insurance fund is full of merit,
for it would inevitably result in
greatly reduced rates.
A good illustration of this Is the
fund conducted by the state of Wis
consin for the insurance of public
buildings. Records show that it
costs less than per cent of the
premiums collected to operate the
fund, while in private insurance
companies the costs amount to
around SIS per cent of the premiums.
The time is coming when all in
surance will be publicly conducted
by the people for themselves, and the
rates will not be computed upon ex-
orbitant salaries paid as at present
to the managers of the companies.

James H. Collins, editor OF the
trade and technical press section of
the U. S. Food administration, writes
the following in the current weekly
bulletin:
Food saving is a progressive game.
Most people assumed that their duty
to the nation in this matter had been
done when they signed the food
pledge for one wheatless and ono
meatless meal daily and the clean
plate. But to this scheme were
quickly added the beefless day, which
was soon made meatless, and the
the wheatless day, and next year
there will probably be the porkless
day and a definite program on sugar
designed to conserve the years sup
ply 10 or IS per cent.
When congress passed the draft
law that was only the beginning of
our army. The men had to 20 to
camp and train, and they must be
kept in strenuous training until thew
reach the western front. So with
ships anu munitions. Passing the
law and laying out the plan was
merely the beginning in dealing with
problems that we shall have with us
until peace comes again-and per-
haps afterwards.
And it is so with food saving. This
is a volunteer movement. 1t is an
educational movement. AS fast as
the American people enlist and learn
to save by the elimination of waste
and the use of substitute food
staples, greater requirements will be
made of them. Food saving is not
something that you merely assent to
and observe in passive way. 1t is a
positive movement; it is going some
where, and it will go as fast as the
American people learn and co-oper-
ate. 1t is movement that calls for
teamwork and leadership.

THE HEART OF a NATION.

Dayton Labor Review: --The heart
is the most important organ of the
body, and for that reason the first act
of a physician when called upon to
attend a patient, is to feel the pulse.
If it is steady and strong there is not
much danger to be apprehendcd from
local affections. When entering a
contest requiring strength and endur-
ance the heart must be in perfect con-
dition, iotherwise serious, il not fatal,
injury may result.
Through the molding together Of
many individuals into a composite
body we secure the nation, possessed
of a heart that performs all the func-
tons Of the human organ, driving the
national lifeblood through veins and
arteries.
This country is engaged in a mar"
tial contest and it became necessary
for President Wilson to test the heart
action. This he did at the Buffalo
convention Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, when he placed his
finger upon the national pulse and
noted the strong, rhythmic throb of
the real heart of the countryside
American laboring man.
AS in all other professions, so with
physicians-be they medical or polit-
ical. Profiting by the example set by
President Wilson, Premier Lloyd
George applied the same test in Eng
land, with the same satisfactory re-
suit.
Men of wealth have long thought
they were the principal organ of the
national body, but they are now dis
covering that while the function they
perform is necessary for the main
tenance of the national health and
strength, that function has no direct
connection with the heart.

have little hesitancy in taking life
partner. Many of them at the age OF
twenty-five have made a good start
toward becoming substantial citizens.
Thus when one reads that more than
1918 members Of this organization
have enlisted in the service of their
country, it can readily be seen that
along with becoming master crafts
men they have also become loyal citi-
zens. Cases might be mentioned
where every young man, over and
under the enlistment age, forsook the
good wages they received. and prac-
tically depleted some of the printing
offices.
The ratio of enlistnents is not ex-
ceeded by any other line Of business;
and should one take the trouble to
analyze the figures, 1t will be found
that those young patriots learned their
lessons well.
Up to October, 1917, titty-rlve OF
those self-same young men had given
up their lives for the fight for democ-
racy in France And the Internation-
al Typographical union stepped into
the homes of the bereaved and paid
over more than $4,000. Many Of
those who gave up their lives had not
been jOurneymen members a sufflcl-
ent length of time to have paid in
one-sortieth part of the amount paid
to those who mourned their loss.
More than $2,250,000 has been in
vested by the international organiza-
ton aud individual members in Liber-
ty Loan Bonds. And, not stopping
there, the organization is nearly one
hundred per cent in the matter Of
contributing to the Red Cross and
other funds.
All of the above without braggad-
ocio or ego. It has been simply a
matter of good citizenship, and that
means doing ones duty to the best of
ones ability.
The International Typographical
union may we'll be proud of the mag
nificent showing in these days OF
stress and storm. 49,. ..

the other days. The people will buy
the same amount of merchandise as
usual, providing they have as much
money as previously.
In the factories and manufacture
ing plants it is to be expected that
production will be speeded up so
that a weeks work will be done in
five days. In this way employers will
suffer no material loss.
On the other hand, the amount of
coal saved on Mondays will mean
tidy sum, corresponding to the size
of the establishments and the num-
Der of employees. This may we'll be
applied on the regular Monday pay
roll.
The worker is meeting the test of
patriotism every day. Generally his
wage increase has been insignificant
as compared with advances in food
and clothing prices. Then there is
the demand for war donations
the ever-present war tax, in it's many
forms. Verify, the wage Garner is a
real patriot!
Now the employers are called up
on to show their true colors, by pay
ing the wages of their workers on
ten Mondays. This is the acid test
OF patriotism. Which will he DOM
lnant-the desire for profits, or the
spirit of fealty to country? Surely
the right, just and unselish thing
will be done.

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY
TO SAVE 400 MILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR.

Milwaukee Daily News:-Director
General McAdoo of the railways is to
save some 100000 a year by econ
omies in railway operation. 1t is not
unlikely that he can do this as there is
| now no competition to bring wastes
| and extravagances, there is one sys-
tenn, and there is one duty, that of
carrying war supplies. Everything is
to be subordinated to that.
To this end it is announced that he
will cut the big salaries formerly paid
executives and officials whose bust
ness it was to secure business-the
sales organizations. These will be UNI
necessary while the government is not
seeking business but rather seeking
not to take it. This reduction will in
clude elimination Of many soliciting
agencies and traffic men.
Then there will be a big saving of
coal by curtailing all non-essential
! traffic-which includes the fancy pass
enger trains at high speeds. To this
is also added the saving in the use
of cars, the government being in 4 no
sition to make shippers load and un-
load promptly, something the railways
never could do, and which was rather
more encouraged than enforced b.
the government agencies having to du
with the railways.
Then such things as charges ty ter
minal and private switching roads will
be done away with, it is said. there
being no necessity for them when all
the roads are under one head.
It is also sal that a common pur-
chasing agency for all the roads will
take the place Of the different buying
organizations of the many roads. This
all will mean a great saving. Other
consultations will also help this say
ing.
1t will be remembered that some
years ago Justice Brandeis claimed
the roads could save $1O0,0O0,000 a
year. They never could find the way
to do it, in the face of rising costs of
labor and materials, and government
enforced competitive conditions and
regulation. But under centralized
government, the most economical
mana cement yet discovered - in
theory if not yet in practice-this
might be possible.
But it is not to be expected that
government has yet found how to
, really save the $3O0,O00,O0O such an
expert as the late Senator Aldrich
pointed out as possible saving several
years ago.

DAILY PAPERS DARE
NOT TELL THE truth
BY Jay Fox.

Thirty-five years ago, at a banquet
in New York City, John swinton, ther,
managing editor of the New York Sun,
that he was receiving $4,000 a year
for suppressing the truth. John Swim
ton was one Of those rare specimens
of manhood who, having awakened to
the dishonesty of his craft, possessed
the courage to expose 1t to the gaze
of the world.
Startling as the announcement was
it didn't make much of stir in the
world outside of the labor movement.
The newspapers suppressed the news
of Swinton's expose, not considering
it news that was "fit to print" and
kept the even tenor of their. way,
suppressing the truth whenever the
TRUTH interfered with business, for the
motto of every newspaper is: "Busi-
ness first; truth whenever it doesn't
hurt i!:~:-.@s
The newspapers knew how to
"camouflage" long before the word
was imported from France, and with
such slogans as, "All the news all the
time,' "All the news that's fit to
print" etc, they have succeeded in
hoodwinking the great mass of the
people, while serving as the plant
tools of the Wall street highbinders.
John Swinton did not reform the
Sun. He didn't try to-. He knew he
couldn't. Nobody could: Such pro-
cedure was absolutely unthinkable to
anyone that knew the newspaper
game. To reform a newspaper and
make it an honest exponent Of the
truth would be a job to compare with
the taking of the foundation from
under a house. Reform a newspaper
and it will fall to the ground.
A newspaper is a business enter
prise, and as such tells the truth when
the truth pays, and with equal facility
lies when it pays to lie. Newspaper
lying takes different forms. There is
the lie of the total suppression of
news; the lie Of garbling the news, or
of mutilating it and perverting it to
suit the sordid ends of big business.
Then there is the lie of playing up GER

BISHOP NIcGOLRICK,

The death of Bishop James McGol-
rick removes from Duluth one of her
foremost and best loved citizens. No
man within our knowledge has rem
dered greater or better service to
this community. He at all times took
keen interest in matters pertaining
to the city's welfare He was a friend
in all that the term implies. In all
questions involving moral or mater
ial improvement Bishop McGolrick
was a leader. Mild in manner, gen
tie and kind in speech, he typified
more than any man we have ever
known the life and character of the
Master. In issues between right and
wrong he knew not compromise.
When the issue was presented to
the people for the abolition of the
saloon in Duluth, every known in
fluence was brought to bear upon
him, but he stood like adamant
against the saloon and in favor Of
that which he thought was right.
During his life in Duluth he
played an important part in promot-
ing our park system; in advocating
the purchase and later the manage
ment Of the city and county work
farm, and in many other matters of
concern to the people. He was an
unusual champion of the downtrod-
den. Labor never had a better or
truer friend. He settled through his
fine personality, his wide sympathies
and absolute fairness a number of
SERIOUS strikes.
Noncatholics rivaled with Catho-
lies in paying him homage. During
Bishop McGolrick's first years in Du-
luth this city was the scene of bitter
conflict between religious bigots. Po-
litical campaigns were waged on the
issue as to whether a candidate for
office was Catholic, a friend of
Catholics or anti-catholic Pub
lie meetings were held with the *'The
Little Red Schoolhouse," as the sub
terfuge slogan: During this bitter
conflict Bishop McGolrick stood with
head erect. assuming at all times his
kind, sweet and gentle manner,
while others ragged and disSracefnlly
DETAINED one another.
This Christ-like attitude on the
part of the Bishop worked it's way
into the hearts Of men and women of
every faith, and after % years we
find all evidence of bitterness COM
pletely obliterated, and the relation
ship of Catholics and non-catholics
has become so friendly that it is not
unusual to see Catholic priest
standing in Swedish church behind
a Protestant pulpit pleading for the
success Of great moral issue. This
situation was brought about by this
great, patient, meek and loving man
whose death we mourn and whose
memory will be revered so long as
this and rising generations live in
