America, it will interest them only
as a curious manifestation of Gin
telligenetsia" reasoning and will
doubtless 60 into the trade union
collection of Funny Things That
Can Happen.
What Mr.. West says about Mr..
Wilson's proposed labor program is
really more of confession than
anything elsa confession that
the wrecking of the labor. move
ment isn't making satisfactory pro-
gress.
AS to control of the most import
ant organizations being out Of the
hands of Mr.. Gompers there is this
to be said: The American Fedora
ton of Labor is voluntary as
ISOLATION Of labor unions and these
unions, in forming that association,
do not place themselves in any,
body's hands. They band together
with a common ideal and a common
purpose. Mr.. Vests premise is
wrong-result: all wrong.
If Mr.. West had attended the St.
Paul convention he would not have
made his ridiculous statement about
the steel industry, unless he really
wanted to mis-state
One more statement-Mr. Com
pers oppose a secession organiza-
ton. 1t is the American Fedora
ton that opposes secession-not
! merely Mr. Gompers personally.
Every organization that lives op-
poses secession, and rightly 80.
Mr.. West, as ar individual at
| lacking the American Federation of
| Labor, is not of great Importance.
I His piece in The Nation is merely a
; remarkable illustration of how ut
! terly wrong a sincere person can be.
! But the great effort of The Nation
| to make Mr.. Vests piece seem like
a powerful indictment of SURPRISING
, weight has some importance, especi-
ally when considered in connection
with number Of other reactionary
drivers now being made at the Am.
erican labor movement by interests
that would be happier If there were
no militant labor movement in Am
erica.
This destructive campaign puts
"intellectual,' reactionary and brutal
"scientifico'' intriguer under the
same tent-all heading toward the
same goal, though by differing
routes. The fortunate thing, how
ever, is that the world is marching
| toward constructive betterment for
all mankind. Destructive tactics
! have had their day.

TUBERCULOSIS HELD TO
Be MASTER MURDERER

Tuberculosis still ranks as the. mas
ter murderer says the Philadelphia
North American in an editorial en-
titled "A New. Fight, On an OlC Foe -
Last year in Pennsylvania alone
says this paper. tuberculosis was the
direct cause ofNearly $4,000 deaths-
just one-seventh of the combined total
OF deaths in action and from wounds,
disease and. accident suffered by the
American army during the present
war. It's harvest Of funerals in the
IS states was more than l50,-
900. And at this hour some 100000
persons in this country are suffering
from it--5O0 Of whom will be dead by
tomorrow morning.!
These are bare facts concerning
the greatest battle we have to fight.
And because this disease is no re-
spector of persons they must make a
vital appeal to every one. And the
more so since tuberculosis is pre-
Ventable.

Your brains have sprung a leak!

Russia's crazy clique.
No, mustn't call you "nigger," and I
mustn't call you "ninny;"
Its plainly impolite to dub you "dago''
''Wop and guinea
But whenever I perceive your metal
mixtures growing weak
I joyfully arise and proclaim you Boil

It's classical critque;

Yah! the Bolsheviki do.

They're Bolshevistic too.

A reformer is a freak!
But here's a name to stop him. for
it's like lightning streak.
"B'' stands for Bolshevism and the
reason that it stings
Is because the Bolsheviki do some stu.

And so it's plain your mental marches

It's a bingle on the beak!

Where liberty is there is no oc.

Cooperation WILL DO

He does, however. respond readily
to any attitude which appears to give
him a square deal and he will in
nearly all cases respond in cooper
ative way to any proposition which is
put to him on a practical common
sense basis.
The workman should always be en-
cOuraged to make safety suggestions.
Companies have thought it advisable
to offer prizes for good suggestions
but it has been found rather that a
letter from the management. express
ing appreciation Of the value of the
suggestion, is almost certain to oh
tain a higher degree of cooperation
from the recipient. In fact. some
workmen positively refuse to respond
to what they term "bribing with
prizes
The most lasting interest is prob
ably that which is awakened when
the workman is brought to a realiza-

dependents and second to his fellow
workers. There have so far been de-
Hoped no hard and fast rules which

PEACE OR WAR.

Whatever may be said for and
against the proposed peace settle
ment, it can all be simmered down
to the alternative of a league of
nations or universal militarism. The
nations can join themselves in
friendly bonds for the adjustment
Of their international interests, or
they can resume the separte alli-
ances to maintain the balance of
power.
The first means a gradual dis
armament; the second leads to still
greater ornaments. The one means
the development OF commerce and
industry and the healing of wounds;
the other fosters distrust and
hatred, with renewed rivalry Of
armies and navies. That is to say.
a world loaded to the limit of en-
durance, is to assume the added
burden of monstrous military estab-
lishments. And the future arma-
ments will include the manning of
the air as we'll as of the land and
sea.
The United States naval pro-
gram, involving billions of dollars,
will be put into operation if the
League of Nations fails of adoption,
Great Britain is preparing to spend
other billions on her navy. And the
struggle to command the air is just
beginning.
Can any thoughtful person hesi-
tate or bubble about the adoption
of the League of Nations?

the fire was northwest of their city.
The Dixon Post said that the fire was

that city.
Freeport editors called up Wisco1-

fire was northwest of them, and then
Vyeryone wondered why they hadn't

The display was one of the most

four or five miles out of the city
For more than two hours everyone
watched the lights. wondering how
much damage the fire was going to
