LARoR's RESPONSIBILITY.

The Railroad Employee: AS un-
authorized after unauthorized strikes
follow each other in ever-increaslng
succession, bringing the paralysis or
destructive radicalism nearer and
nearer to the heart Of the business
prosperity of the nation. 1t is hlgn
time that the reputable and respon-
sible element within the ranks OF
organizations of labor denounce the
prevailing spirit OF brigandage in no
uncertain terms.
In the light OF recent events 1t is
a, case of labor run riot. Agreements
are made only to be broken; no
guarantee is good over night; no
promise worth the breath used TO
make it; no compact or the value OF
a grain of sand. Employers are I'M
able to figure their labor costs from
day to day or know what the morrow
may bring forth. Confusion and dis
organization reign in the marts OF
trade and centers or commerce,
where peace and prosperity should
obtain through fixed and under
standable relationship between the
man who works and the man who
pays.
Nearly two decades ago before the
bolshevism of the present had been
defined and l. W. W.ism was in its
infancy this publication suggested as
means Of stabilizing the relation
ship between organizations of labor
and the employers a form OF con-
tract containing a stipulation Tor col
lectable damages in the event OF Tor
fixture. The wisdom OF this sugges-
ton must be plainly apparent at this
time when disregard of contract or
obligation on the part of the mem
bership of an increasing NUMBER OF
the organizations is becoming the
rule rather than the exception, and
the constituted authorities of the
unions are apparently powerless to
enforce the provisions of agreements
entered into in good faith and with
the full approval of the membership
! In the situation that at present
confronts US it is not 10 pc expected
that moral suasion or cold logic viii
present a solution. Reason and argu
ment are OF little avail. The lesson
will have to be driven in and the
public which in the final analysis
endures most and suffers most vii
have to do the driving.
| 1t should be brought about through
national legislative enactment tha'
no organization OF whatever scope OF
description should be accorded recog
milton that cannot or viii not
through it's membership collectively
and individually, enter into a wage

We say it, and say 1t positively
that the labor organizations of thu
future must so regulate their affair
as to be enabled to enter into bind
ing legal agreement with their EN-
ployers with mutual stipulation TO

WANTED-A PARSON.

The recent discovery that the granite foun-
dations of Manitoba are scanned with gold is
attracting to that province streams OF adven-
turers. Veterans from many a mining camp,
grizzled sour doughs'' who have joined all the
stampedes to golden regions since they came
to man s estate are pouring into the new held
which is believed to be the most extensive ana
previously mineralized region on this CONT
nent. With them is a host of stender-feet"
who will be toughened enough as the months go
on. But they are new to the life as yet and
the rugged old-timers naturally give the social
tone to the camps now dotting the snow-covered
northland as by the wave of an enchanter's
wand.
These old 'mushers" from Alaska and grub
stakers from everywhere often hide beneath
harsh and hirsute mask something that might
be classified as religious instincts of a sort.
They have found that responsibility is asset
Of value for mining camp and that parson
lis an acquisition not to be moderated, provided
he is parson of the proper kind Not that they
care in the least what brand of theological
speculation he dispenses. They are practical
men and do not demand that their spiritual di-
rector shall have immovably fixed convictions
on mysteries Of faith which the angels in heaven,
as we are told are still looking into. But he
must accept the fundamentals of morality as
taught in the scriptures. He must be firmly
grounded in the basic doctrines like those which
establish meum and teum rights. They might
find more comfort in his tenets if they leaned to
Universalism, though their innate sense of JUS
tice does not reject a purgatorial experience Of
reasonable duration. But above all else he
must be all man, not narrowly insistent or
non-essentials, but sympathetic, ready to take
them as he finds them and give credit for sucl
virtues of manliness kindness and true no
bility as the best Of them possess.
Seeking such a man, the Anthapupuscov
camp advertises for him in a paper published
on the fringe Of civilization. They want, the.
say, "a minister Of the gospel" and in orde
to broadly and briefly indicate the toleranc
and adaptability expected of him to minin:

TODAYS Eai OF VERSE
NOVEMB Err.

NOVEMBER
Again is grim November here,
Gray skies, chill winds, heds bare ana pro"n'
And last leaves rudely shaken GOWN,
And not song afar, nor near
No not one song; the meadow ril!,
Shrunken wanders, but is mute
An ancient minstrel with lutte
Whose strings are broken, tangled, STILL
The gardens ragged beggars are;
Across the paths lean haggard weeds,
Ghostly all the riverreeds,
And coldly shines the twilight star.
November takes his throne as one
Forsaken by the gentle race
OF Beauty; dark, austere his face
Repels the swift-retreating SUM-
Yea he has chosen Death for God,
And for his queen the frosty Night;
Disdaining all the laws of light,
He rules his kingdom with rod.
And yet, eureka. here's bold
Young dandelion, With bright shield
Lifted to heaven it dares the field,
Scoring the rover of storm and cold
Brave flower, serving, 1t shall go down
Like Winkeried, pierced through by spears
Yet, dying, hand to after years
The hope that also is crown.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Vice
President Marshall said the other day
that he objected to classes in coun.
try where God has made men. That
was very decent of the vice president.
for whom, we confess, we have some
regard for he does not often, If ever,
say the wrong thing. 1t shows that a
political training, after all, is not TO De
despised. Mr.. Marshall is a Hoosier
politician, and he has learned all the
lessons OF give and take and common
sense out OF his varied political ex-
periences.
Des Moines Register: Now that the
echoes Of the off-year election are
dying away, on with the presidential
campaign This world is a dull place
for the politician out of work.
Cherokee Times: When the people
as a whole come to their senses again
and recover from their own extrava-
giant ways, prices will start down
toward normal once more.
Charles City Press: But 1t does
seem that people in general are de-
manding the high-priced goods rather
than moderate-priced goods, and are
more concerned with expensiveness
than quality.

Flight Across Grew
Out of U-Boat Menace


WASHINGTON, May 28.-The
idea of crossing the Atlantic
by airplane was born, so far as
the navy is concerned, August
20, 1917. It was while the ma
ton was at deaths grip with the
German U-boats and the plan
was conceived as a war
emergency measure. In memo
randum to Naval Constructor j.
C. Hunsaker, u. s. NJ, his as
sistant for aeronautics, Rear
Admiral David w. Taylor, chief
constructor, U. S. NJ, said:
"The United States motor
gives good promise of being
success and If we can push ahead
on the airplane end it seems to
me the submarine menace could
be abated, even IL not destroyed,
from the air.
"The ideal solution would be
big flying boats or the equivalent,
that would be able to keep the
sea mot air) in any weather, and
also able to fly across the At
lantic to avoid difficulties Of de-
livery. &C.
"Please think it over very
carefully, particularly as to the
method of procedure to develop
something as close to the ideal as
possible"
Acting upon this memorandum.
the work was begun which culmi-
mated successfully Tuesday.
