I am an American.
My father was an atom of dust

Another was killed defending his

SWISS SOCIALISTS KICK.

The Swiss Socialists have kicked
over the dashboard. Word comes
from Berne that they are very much
offended because Hjalmer Branting of
Sweden made application to the Presi-
dent of Switzerland for permission to
hold the Socialist International confer
ence in Berne, when he should have
first communicated with the Swiss
Socialist party, which he failed to do.
The Swiss Socialists declare that for
eign Socialists now at Berne prevented
reconciliation between the Socialists OF
various countries during the last four
years, by allowing themselves to be
used by the governments as tools for
imperialism.

VICTORY FOR HOOVER.

In spite of bitter opposition the food
relief bill passed Congress this week.
The fund Of $10o,000,Oo becomes i'm
mediately available, as food can be
purchased on the strength of it and
dispatched to the regions in Europe
where it is most needed.
The passage OF the bill is a distinct
victory for Mr.. Hoover, as opposition
to its passage was made largely upon
charges that he had handled tho food
situation during the war in the inter-
est and for the benefit of big bust
ness.

IT'S SECOND IN IMPORTANCE.

1t is pretty we'll conceded that the
labor question is second in importance
only to the establishment of a league
of nations at the peace congress. Our
own Samuel Gompers has been Sc
lected as an American representative
on the labor committee appointed by
Mr.. Clemenceau. The committee hopes
to lay the foundation for a better or
der, in which more humane conditions
of labor will be established and MAIN
tanned throughout the world.

LABOR DEFEATS CONSTITUTION.
Down in Arkansas the trade union
men put crinp in the proposed new
constitution for that state framed by
a bunch Of southern Democratic party
reactionaries, and needless to say, it
failed of ratification when the people
got a swipe at it,
Labor asked the constitutional con-
vention to. embody provisions for a
graduated income tax, guarantee for
bank deposits and a more flexible in
itiative and referendum. The first two
propositions were ignored and the
third was framed to make the initia-
tive and referendum imperative in
application by requiring An unusually
high percentage Of petitioners coming
from most of the counties of the state
and putting the expense of publishing
the proposals on the persons inter-
ested In propositions to be voted upon,
whereas, the constitution now pro-
vides that such expense shall be
borne by the state.
This feature OF the initiative and
referedum must have been borrowed
from the last bill presented to the
voters Of Minnesota. Organized labor
In Arkansas is now, causing petitions
to be circulated providing for amend
ments to tho constitution to make
the initiative and rafefenduna avail
able for the masses Of tho people.

ANOTHER CHANGE OF HEART.

w. L. Mckenzie King. former Cana
dian Commissioner Of Labor, and
more recently serving as industrial
commissioner for the Rockefeller in
terests in the United States, spoke at
Montreal the other night, and the tune
of his speech was that the day had
passed when industry could be con-
Quoted wholly for profit. 1t must now
recognize that it is an instrument of
service. and If this feature Of it was
not admitted there would be stirring
times ahead for US all.

CHURCHILL A SOCIALIST?

Winston Churchill, British secretary
Of war, speaking at a dinner given in
his honor last week, stated that he
had been very nearly convinced that
Socialism was possible, due from his
experience in the war in the Munitions
Ministry. Il consider" he said, that
the achievements of the Ministry Of
Munitions constitutes the greatest
argument for state socialism that has
ever been produced"
This admission comes from = man
who has ridiculed Socialism more than
any other person in Europe. The war
has not only changed conditions. but
is bringing about good many changes

GOVERNMENT MEAT MONOPOLY.
So our good fellow citizen, ]. Ogden
Armour, who has gotten more naga-
zine publicity OF the human interest
kind than most other Americans, has
frankly declared to the. Senate agri-
cultural committee that a meat mon
opoly under government control,
would be in the best interests of the
producers and consumers. That's
what we have contended for. right
along, except that we want to go J..

eminent not only to control a meat
monopoly, but to own and operate it.

FARMERS UNITE TO
FIGHT THE RATS

A fund OF over $1,000 has been
raised to fight rats in Palm Beach
county, Fla. The rodents in that
region have multiplied with such ra-
pidity that some farmers fear 10 per
cent of their potatoes and peanuts
have been destroyed. Owing to the
extent OF the territory over which the
pests have been roaming, nothing
\ short of q widespread cooperative ac-
Non could be effective; consequently
the[ocal agent has taken the matter
in hand. After a survey of the ter
ritory he laid out systematic often
sive campaign. Under his directions
the farmers have undertaken to place
poison with various sorts of bats all
along the lake front on specified days
Much of the region covered in this
fashion is grown up with weeds or
is still uncleared, and therefore, the
task is of considerable magnitude.
However, It is anticipated that the
fall crops will benefit decidedly by
the campaign and that the expendl-
ture Of the fun which was contribut
ed by local business men will prove
profitable investment,
