Roscoe Simmons was in the right church,
but the wrong pew when he lectured in Sc

South and to audiences made up largely
Of white people he sure would make hit. -
Along the same line Eddie Gardner said.

greatest thing that ever came down the pike
and the next minute [ would conclude he

Watch Seattle Grow

Speaking about the magnificent banking
houses of Seattle, which have kept growth
with the city, reminds me Of an incident
one day this week, which more or less en-
barrassed me. Having check on GER
tain bank, the head of which, I have known
and done business with for the past thirty
years, I went in to get it cashed but the
paying teller refused to hand over the
coin until had been identified by some one
in the employ of the bank. Everybody
knows me- l snapped and started out to
get an O. K, but no one could I find that
remembered Of ever having seen me before.
The head Of the bank was out to lunch as
were other officials with whom l was &C.
quainted I stood around for few min
utes expecting some one to show up, but no
one did so and I left the room more or less
Inundated, but I returned later and had
no trouble in getting my dough, I related
the incidene to teller and he CURLY replied,
that but shows you how Seattle is growing.
New faces are coming to the surface every
hour, yea every minute while just as many
of the old timers like yours are passing
from the scenes Of active life and he hurri-
eddy reached for the other fellows check.

Some Do and Some Do Not

Publishing newspaper is the greatest
snap | have ever undertaken and [ am sur
prised that there are not a hundred fold
more publishers throughout the country
than there are. Recently published what
l considered complimentary notice about
a person and I was patiently waiting for
dollar tip, but came nearer getting hicory
tip as the item so enraged the person that
free for all fight seemed eminent Oil,
however, was finally poured on the troubled
waters and the pipe of peace was smoked,
but with the understanding it would not
happen again. I have been so frequently
roundy scored for not publishing news
items about persons who wanted to see their
names in print that this was something Of
a revelation to me and I wondered how a
paper could be published to please the entire
public, which problem I have not as yet
solved, and if you, dear reader, know So
luton, it will be rgeat panacea to publish
ers. Now just one at time.

For Tobacco Prohibition

Having received four bit check the other
day from one who seemed to be favorably
impressed with the utterances of Caytons
Weekly and had sent this magnificent contri-
button in order to keep the home fires burn :
ing, strolled into one of Seattle's leading
banks to cash the same and after having been
Identified and getting the coin I was much
impressed with the push and hustle of the
Institution, but as I wendell my way toward
the door to make my exit glanced at the
long roster of high dignitaries of the bank
and [ was much surprised to observe every
one OF them pulling away at great cigars
and putting it's fumes into the faces Of
the persons they were doing business with,
never taking the weed from their mouths as
they talked. 1t certainly looked vulgar and
yea verify was vulgar and if for no other rea-
son would sign petition for tobacco prohi-
bition 1t maybe a mark Of mental distinction
to sit at mahogany desk smoking fine cigars
while doing business with your fellowman,
but it is often quite nausiating to the one you
happen to be talking to.

Wanting Good Things.

Down in Kansas City, when that berg
was in it's infancy two country colored lads
from the Ozark Mountains ran over to the
big city to see the sights. Now those fell
lows were as innocent as the turtle doves
they had so often heard mourn in the tree
tops but quite green enough to grow. They
had heard much Of the fame Of Tom and
Jerry with quail on toast and since the
high class eating emporiums drew no color
line they strolled into one Of those gilded
palaces and after putting a lot of as
sumed dog very imposingly gave their order
for the celebrated repast. The boys, after
partaking of the feast were willing to testify
to the toothsomeness of the edibles and very
pompously asked "Whats the bill?'
|'Twelve dollars and fifty cents,' which
was no overcharge, was the answer. They
stood spell bound for minute and then
began to plead for mercy, as they had but
five dollars between them. It proved
peck of fun for the other guests, who had
observed their country airs, and the boys
escaped rough house. Recently I was in
vited to banquet, which l gibly accepted,
simply because I needed big feed. I was
delighted until another fellow called for
two dollars for the banquet feed and, be-
lieve me, I was as badly non-plused as
were those innocent boys and with no more
dough in proportion than they had, and so
| begged off to my chagrin.

lished October 18th was torn into glblets
with exception of the first paragraph OF the
article headed Woodrow Wilson, which was
marked, with no explanation, and the con-
glomeraton mailed to me in an envelope.
The name of the person to whom the paper
was addressed was also emasculated and so
l was left no clue as to whom such po-
litical curio could be. l however am told

copy Of Caytons Weekly in a large en-

used every precaution to conceal his or her
identity. But yesterday the name of Gaze
sar caused fear and trembling, but today
no one is so low to do him honor. Before
Mr.. Wilson got into the war, which he said
he kept us out of, such procedure as above
related might have been excusable, but it
certainly is not at this time.

DECLARES GARY, ,

Chairman Fitzpatrick Of Strike
Committee Advises Him to ,
Visit His Plants $500

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. - John
Fitzpatrick, chairman of the steel
strike committee, declared that it
was "criminal for Judge Gary to show
the ignorance he does about condo
tons in the steel industry" in his testi~
mony before the senate committee,
The trust official has been nisia~
formed by advisers and has made nd
personal investigation said Fitzpatrick.
If he wants to get an idea Of the
real conditions" said the trade union-
list, "let him take his wife and go
down to some Of the steel towns. Let
him look at the novels in which tho
men live, the degradation, the misery
and he will have his eyes opened.
The so-called "open shop" declared
by Judge Gary to be the strike issue.
has been simply lugged in" and is
not the reason why the men quit
work, said Fitzpatrick.

dustry is an industry unrestricted
by labor unions OR ANYBODY
ELSE" So, not only are unions
wrong, but all governmental restric-
ton is wrong. Let senators and news
papers who see in Gary a champion
Of freedom" take note Of that "any-
body else" That means unmodined
and unqualified autocracy. The word
Of the car is final. The fiat Of the
king is the last word. So would Gary
have it, according to his testimony.
There have been benevolent des-
pots. There have been despots who
have tried to be kind and good and
considerate. But there has never been
DEMOCRATIC despot, because
there cannot be any such thing. There
are never round triangles.
What despots give they can take
away.
Despotic Justice.
Justice under despottsm is " What the
despot sees fit to call justice.
Under .despotism the opinion of one
man counts-others may be hear. but
there is no power back of them.
Under despotism one man says
"come" and go" and all other men
obey.
Amy element in society ruled by
one man is in that sense despotisrn.
Where there is despotism there cam
not be democracy
When trade unionism enter an in
It'd, 70 IA -
despotism, because through the union
the workers have voice. Their
chosen representatives speak for them
in helping to determine the condi-
tons under which they shall give
service.
That is very simple statement Of
the issue in the steel mills and of the
issue wherever one man attempts to
rule and to deny to all others voice
in the affairs of life.
Out of Political Life.
The autocratic, despotic concept has
been rooted out Of political life. We
sometimes have "bosses'' in political
life today. but we have no rulers
no despotic overlords whose word is
law and beyond which there is no
appeal.
Not the meanest precinct in Amer
lea would tolerate in political life
what Judge Gary seeks to perpetuate
as a moral principle in the steel
mills of America!
Upon a proper and democratic So
luton Of the issue as it presents it.
self today in industry depends, to an
incalculable degree, the future WELL
being and stability Of the civilization
Of our time.
Where unwisdona has had it's
chance the results are abhorrent to
every American concept of freedom
and justice. The fundamental rights
Of human life and liberty are too
vital to be subjected to any condition
that is not the fruit Of wisdom and
justice working in the service Of de-
mocracy.

ALLEGED open SHOP
Defined BY GOMPERS

WASHINGTON, Oct. le.-In his
testimony before the senate commit
tee which Is investigating the steel
strike, President Gonapers gave his
concise definition Of theory that s
defended by every power and influ-
ence that anti-union employers can
command. President Gompers said:

cannot exist"

dence is necessary, but for those who
wish it industrial history accords an
abundance.
Reaction In Industry.
What Judge Gary calls the open
shop, which is the non-union shop,
has been the dark nesting place of
reaction in industry, the soggy stand
ing ground of low wages, long work.
days az hours a day now in much
Of the steel Industry and improper
working conditions. The non-union
shop has heen the foe Of progress. 1t
has been the friend and copartner of
jlliteracy, er-nourishment, UNDER
development. broken health and pre-
mature death. Who does not know
the shameful story of non-union cot
ton and WOODEN mills?
On the other hand, there are the
mines and the railroads, industries
more nearly basic, like steel. In the
mines the union has given daylight
to thousands of lives into which, UNI
der non-union conditions. daylight
seldom came. And the war proved
how efficient were the union coal
miners in America. So it is with the
railroads. The world knows no more
efficient body Of railroad men than
the organized railroad workmen of
America. The truth Of this is so
universally recognized that argument
on the point is like. describing the
splendor of sunshine.
Essential to Progress.
The unio.l shop is essential to pro-
greSs. The non-union shop is essen
tial to industrial autocracy and reac-
ton and is the principal agency
through which that autocracy is able
to practice injustice upon the work.

The things that organized labor de-
nlands are conditions of progress; they
are demands out of which progress
is realized in the lives of men.
Surely progress, as America under
stands it, means progress for the
greatest possible number Of Ameri-
cans! That cannot be. what Judge
Gary has in mind when he makes the
non union shop a condition precedent
to capturing world markets. For. if
America understands the question. it
will declare that world markets had
better be sacrificed than gained at
the expense of the established Amer
lean standard Of living--at the ex-
pense of decency in life and work for
the men and women in American
Industry! $500.
