WHEN THE PUBLIC STRIKES.

With the public strikes, then the greatest
union will be in action. And strike straight,
hard from the shoulder the public will, if it be
menaced as it is being threatened. Moreover,
American labor no matter what other unions IL
belongs to is going to be found paying alleS-
lance and exerting its great influence IN tins
great union of the public. Vice President Vol,
of the American Federation of Labor, says that
the federation does not approve police strikes or
strikes by any body of public employees Of
course it does not, Samuel Gompers to the con-
trary notwithstanding. Hundreds OF thousands
lof American homes have as heads skilled work
linen who are members of the American Fedora
Ition of Labor, but who are fathers and husbands
and citizens-in Short who belong to that great
union, the public. They will not confuse indus
trail bargaining, organized negotiations involv-
ing strikes and other moves III the Industrial re-
lation with the organized refusal OF offcers OF
the law, fremen and public employees, necessary
ito public safety, to continue in service until
some arrangement or safeguard is perfected.
AS soon as labor puts its mind to this thing, 1t
will see through the confusion that is causing
threat of sympathetic action by some unions IN
Boston in support of the police strike. Entire
!ly aside from the right of men to leave employ
iment; aside from any justice IN the demands
made by the Boston policemen; aside from all
rights of organization, the moot question IS that
of the right of public officers of safety to aban-
don their posts in service to which they have
voluntarily pledged themselves without regard
to the safety which their action jeopardizes.
The public will strike against such danger to 1t
and it will win

OUR Ex-PREsIDENTs.

Kansas City Times: The Carnegie
bequests to Mr.. Taft and to the
widows of two other ex-presidents
ought to remind the country of its
own neglect bf those who have
served it in its highest office. Elk
presidents of the United States and
their families ought not to be depen-
dent upon private benevolence for
the means Of supporting proper
dignity.
Mr.. Cleveland, 1t is well known,
retired to private life a poor man.
His later years were only freed from
anxiety by a trusteeship bestowed by
Mr.. Ryan. General Grants business
disasters darkened the close of his
life, and Mr.. Roosevelt, although in
the enjoyment of more private means
than they, was compelled to add to
his income by literary work to keep
his home estate intact and maintain
his family Mr.. Taft has lived by
his law lectures at Yale and by edi-
torial work
Honorable as these circumstances
are to them, they are not such as the
country can extract much honor
from. We like to think of the office
of president of the United States as
the highest in the world, and ire
spective of who occupies it he ought
not to leave it under the necessity of
making a new career for himself,
usually late in life, In order to got
the means of livelihood. The presi-
dency shoulr carry with it honorable
provision for life, and provisions FOL

GIVE FACTS AND FIGURES

themselves, they charge 1t to
others. They have not made
public the prices they pay the
jobber and wholesaler however,
which would be conclusive evil
dence OF their Innocence. II the
other dealers attempt 70 pass the
buck back to the retailers, they
may take this course.
The shoe retailers are more
specific. They assert rnat the
public robbery prices which the
public is forced TO pay are
chargeable to the manufacturers
and they cite some proof to
establish their contention. II
they are correct, few of the
shoe manufacturers wearing
stripes and shaved heads inside
prison would be a wholesome
example to those who are more
fortunate in escaping. The prizes
of shoes must be reduced. II fht
retailers are not the profiteers,
else they will be bankrupt. FOR
the people cannot buy the usual
supply Of shoes at present prices.
The shoe cobbler will prosper at
the expense of the shoe dealer.
But the retailers do not offer to
disclose the prices they have to
pay, and the public still OUTS
lions the sincerity of the de-
Tense. The attorney general can
determine the truth or the mat
ter and at the same time get
closer to the profiteer, by invesu-
eating the shoe industry from
retailer to manufacturer.
If the profiteering rs not elm
mated from the causes of high
prices the administrator will be
to blame. The president and the
attorney general cannot shut the
eyes of the people by general
promises and glittering hypo-
theses If they fail to deliver the
goods. They have been given all
they wanted. Profitcer;ng is an
artificial imitation of prices and
does not depend upon supply and
demand, foreign trade, the sIgn-
ing of the treaty or the restora-
ton of order throughout the
world. 1t is simple case or
public robbery privately arrived
at.

BELGIUM's RECOVERY.

There has been comparatively little news
coming from Belgium of late Now comes the
statement from authoritative sources that OF all
European nations Belgium shows the most evil
dence of early recovery from the effects of the
war Once the ar1nistice uncertainty disappear
ed, the people of Belgium settled to the bust
ness at hand; they composed differences of opin-
ion, took stock of what they had, made prepara-
lions to get what they needed and then went to
work. Great progress has been made IN re-
coupling land and properties from the havoc
done them. Old enterprises are being refitted
and new ones started. Compactnss of the coun-
try and the population has made it easy to IN
form the people rapidly of facts, conditions and
requirements. The nation has got together and
is moving forward. It is well worth the at
tention Of other nations-this quick turn to in
dustry and stability by the little nation which
bore the first shock Of the war. We might well
ourselves take a leaf from Belgium's book. We
are bigger more diverse in interest, less homo
genous in racial compact, with far greater
reach in our activities But the same sort of
spirit that is actuating Belgium would do lot
to help US compose differences and set our
selves together to recovery of our poise and
prosperity.

Too often business consists in getting all

Billy Sunday.
SURE. HE'S "soME" PosTPoNER.

: A resident of Keokuk refers in compliment
tary terms to the presidents ability to post
fseRe.s+z=ilSas and labor 1nrast in several major
Industries. President Wilson certainly de-
serves recognition for his ability to postpone
troubles. He postponed troubles in Mexico al
though some of them developed and more and
larger ones seem practically sure to demand the
nations action they will be none the less hard
to solve because they have waited. He postpon-
el trouble with Germany, but it came. He is
heart and soul for the league of nations which
after all on his own saying is mechanics to
delay wars and moves toward wars. He is
counting ON the coming conference at Washing
ton to bring something to pass that viii settle
or give basis of settlement for our Industrial
unrest, but he frankly admits he does not yet
know what this something will be. Truly,
President Wilson has postponed many troubles.
Some of them may be more easily handled be-
cause Of this; others will grow in difficulty. 1t
is maxim applying pertinently here that tact
does not remove difficulties; it merely circum-
navigates them.

TRAINING MEN NEEDED IN TRADE.

A movement is under war to endow school
OF foreign service in Georgetown university, at
Washington, D. c. James A. Farrell, chairman
of the national foreign trades council, has head
ed an endowment fund with twenty thousand
dollars and other gifts are coming in rapidly.
The council has pointed out the great need OF
trained men to serve the interest of our forign
trade There is really no adequate training
given in our universities in the flexible use OF
foreign languages now necessary to proper for
eign trade equipment. For instance, the speak
ing knowledge of Japanese, Russian, Portu-
guese is not available to any such extent as it
must be to furnish the many representatives our
exporters are asking for. There will, of course,
be curriculum provided which covers the
economic, legal and commercial knowledge de-
sirable to well-equipped trade ambassador
Georgetown university is a wise selection for
such a school since Washington can supply to
its faculty many instructors of special ability
in the subjects to be taught

Mr. Armours Shoes.

Commerce and Finance: Surely J.
Letang, Chicago shoemaker, is mis-
taken when he says that within the
last two months he has made four
pairs OF shoes for j. Ogden Armour
the pork packer of that city. 1t is
true Mr. Letangs books show four
pairs Of shoes were made for Mr.
J. ogden Armour, one for $3.50 and
three for s32 each. The books also
show the bill of s125.S0 was paid.
But Mr.. Armour recently made
public declaration that he had not
bought pair OF shoes this year, and
when he said he could not afford to
pay the price now charged for shoes
the members of the Builders and
Traders Exchange Clipped in and
bought $3.50 pair of brogans for the
poor man, for which he wrote letter
of thanks and appreciation.
1t cannot be that Mr.. ]. Ogden Ar
mour told an untruth and imposed
upon the charitably inclined gentle
men Of the exchange. They believe
he did, and are going to ask him to
return the brogans.
There must be a mistake. Mr..
Armour, like all pork packers. has a
spotless reputation
