WHY NOT HAMILTON.
Many of the cities ever the country
are buying great quantities of the
food products that are being sold by
the government from their surplus on
hand since rehabilitation This is
to be sold to the citizens at cost.
Surplus funds of all kinds that most
cities have on hand are being used, as
of course it is quickly returned to the
fund. Hamilton has, according to the
report of City Auditor Erb, balances
in all funds amounting to nearly $780,
000 Why not put little of this
huge sum to work in the interest of
the people to whom it really belongs
by purchasing some of the govern
ments food supplies and cut down the
cost of living in Hamilton a little
bit? That surplus is not doing any
one any particular good at present,
why not send for train load of food
stuffs and furnish it to the people at
cost? Of course this idea might con-
| fiict a little bit with those of the
Grocers and Butchers but they are all
good wholesouled fellows who no doubt
would not be averse to giving the
| common people a chance to catch up
and get on their feet once more. Here
is chance Mayor Smith to do a
big thing for a lot of people. Let US
hear from you Or perhaps the city
council might do something in this
matter. We don't care where it comes
from so long as we get relief

ARE CONGRESSMEN PEOPLE
Once upon time, before women
were given the vote, certain news
paper regularly asked the question
care women people?" Finally that
question was answered in the affir-
NATIVE by America.
Now the high cost of living seems
to have everybody guessing except the
members of congress. They go on
serenely debating and dallying.
Do they know there is such a thing
as the high cost of living, or aren't
they people?
All those who count themselves as
people know all about the high cost
of living because said H. C. Of l.
goes skidding and sluicing around ir

mentioned income looks like a puppy
in sandstorm
Unfettered profteers are glad moth,
ing is done to really take the punch
out of the high cost of living-but
nobody else is glad.
Everyone else is very much concern
ed, except the members of congress
whose chief concern seems to be how
to jockey around for position in the
1920 campaign.

DISCUSSING FAIRNESS.
An editorial in the Christian Sci
ence Monitor, a paper which pub
fishes large amount of news valuable
to working people and which makes
painstaking effort in the direction
of accuracy, complains about certain
strikes that inconvenience the public
by tying up public service, such as
the Boston transit lines. The Monitor
says it is up to the strikers to see that
the public suffers as little as possible.
Certain strikes may well bring in
convenience to many not engaged IN
the strike. This is more or less true
of all strikes and especially of public
service strikes.
But what of the other side? Work
ingmen do not strike because they
want to strike. They strike because
they have to strike. Above all others,
the workers who are driven to strike
for justice are inconvenience They
have to stand the real hardship.
Why not visit condemnation upon
the corporation that resists the tide
of progress to such an extent that a
strike is the only means of putting
motion into an otherwise immobile
body? Labor seldom is to blame fo1
strike. 1t performs the act of strik-
ing, but back of the act is the condi-
ton out of which it grew.
1t is safe to say that labor is more
/ and more reluctant about striking
but it is just as determined as ever
to use the strike when other means
fail to right manifest wrongs. There
still are number of employers whC
laugh at democracy when it comes
looking in at the workshop door.

GOMPERS AND THE A. F. OF L.
The Following editorial appeared il
the British Citizen:
We were glad to learn that Mr.
Samuel Gompers, the Grand Old Mar
of the American Constitutional Labor
Movement, had been reelected Pres
ident of the American Federation O.
Labor. Mr.. Gompers, like most of oul
Labor leaders in this country, was !;
stalwart pro-ally during the whole
of the late war, and did yeoman ser
vice in the cause of the Allies. Hi!
reelection means that the Federation
are determined to make strong stanC
against the Bolshevist tendencies o
the extremist section of American
Labor. During a recent Conference
the Federation, by large majority
recorded against ''the insidious force
who would use arms to promote De
mocracy," and has refused in any wa.
to encourage or compromise with Bol
shevism and other extreme doctrines
1t is fitting that Mr.. Gompers, th
architect of this powerful Federation
and the man who, by his indomitabl
will, influenced American Labor t.
support the Allies even before th
United States came into the war
should have been presented with tn,
much-coveted medal of the Nationa
Institute of Social Sciences in New

Capt. Archie Roosevelt in his open
ing Liberty Loan campaign speech in
Ionkers last night took a fling at the
Bolshcviki, the Sim Fein and the un-
preparedness of the country for the
recent war. He said he hoped the
people would elect candidates at the
next election who will guarantee that
the young men of the country are
given military training.
1T was your fault" he said TO the
audience, that we had men sent over
to us who hardly knew how to fire a
rifle. You cannot criticlsc the Cow
ernmcnt for it. 1t was the fault Of
all of you people who failed to pre-
pare that thousands OF our young
men went into action without the
training that might have saved their
lives and that certainly would have
made them more effective.

Commission on Responsibility for th,
War This report was presented
some time ago. but the Council OF
-Four has since taken action differ
ing from tho original draft.
The report, rs published. contains
four chapters The first reviews the
history OF the origin OF the war and
formally concludes that Germany and
Austria-1Tungary were responsible
Tho second presents thirty-two In
dictments for violations OF the laws
and customs OF war. as formulated
in international conventions, and
concludes with the statement that
tho Central Empires. Turkey and
Bulgaria conducted the war by "bar-
barous and illcgitimate methods"
The third chapter declares that all

however high their station, may be
objects OF judicial prosecution. The
fourth demands the constitution OF
high tribunal TO judge crimes COM
mttcd during tho war. without, how
ever, excluding competent tribunals OF
the different nations from acting in
cases not coming under the jurisdic-
tlon, OF national courts.
~ is being considered whether the
United States as an associated power,
but not as an ally. should sign a
separate treaty OF peace with Ger
many. II would he the same treaty
as that signed by the Allies and
would be signed at the samo time
as part OF the same ceremony. but
the effect OF the separate treaty
would be TO preserve the position OF
the United States as an associated,
instead of and allied power.
One OF the men drafting tho treaty
has expressed the belief that 1t would
be physically impossible to complete
the instrument in time for the arrival
of tho Germans and that 1t might
even take until May Is to complete
the tremendous task.
