Ours is a government for all the people, not for
any class or privileged few
When handful of labor dictators demand the
right to tell man where and when ne can work and
an employer whom he may employ, it is time that
honest laboringemen as we'll as every other citizen
with the best interest of his country at heart, ex-
presses his disapproval of such acts.
The Boston police strike showed to what lengths
these labor dictators would go and the public receiv
ed it's first real taste of what to expect if such poll
ces 60 unchecked.
The issue is clean cut in this case. If the y, s..
Steel Co. can be forced to hire but employees OF
certain union, it will be out short time before
every workman in this nation must swear allegiance
to some particular organization before he can get
lob and his allegiance to that union would have to-
come before his allegiance to the union of the United
States and has been clearly proved in the manage
ment of the railroad unions, the shipbuiders unions
the attempted police union and numerous others
during and since the war;
One thing is sure, the unions are ignoring the
greatest force in the world; the force Of public opin
ion.
Menaces of general strikes, industrial tie-ups
helpessness to thuggery, do not make us afraid;
they make us angry.

PERSISTENCE, THY NAME IS Upton

Sir Thomas J. Upton, Bart, jolly
old sea dog, arrived in New York the
other day bound on the same old er-
rand-to lift 'the mug" as he calls
the Americas cup. This will be his
fourth NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., thy name
is Upton. He names Shamrock Nv as
challenger and wants to sail over the
same old Sandy Hook course. He
does, however, specify June instead OF
September-so the Jersey skeeters
will will not eat him up; also because
he thinks there will be more wind.
Sir Thomas inaugurated his fourth
attempt to lift the Americas cup in
1918 with a challenge for race the
following year. The challenge was ac-
cepted and the challenging yacht
Shamrock ", was en- route to this
country under it's own sails when war
was declared. The Shamrock ~ put
into Bermuda and later reached New
York after the danger Of capture by
German ShinS had n9SSed. With the

WHITlOCK: AMBASSADOR TO BELGIUM

To raise Brand Whitleck, who has
been minister to Belgium for six years
to the rank of ambassador and return
him to Belgium Is deserved compli-
ment to a man who has served his own
country and the one to which he was
accredited with so much tact and abil-
Hy that King AIbert's government has
desired his reoppointment, and the
presidents compliance is satisfactory
to Americans of both parties.
81 No American diplomat bad more
difficult place to All. Before we en-
tered the war It was necessary for him
to remain on formally courteous terms
with the Germans who assumed con-
troll of Belgium. Even before our gov
ernment declared war, he had joined
with the Belgian relief committee IN
helping to aid the starving and suffer
ing people driven from their homes,
and to the end Of the war he was ac-

ACTON DAVIES WRITES
OF aHER OWN MONEY! in
THE NEW YORK sun

Wholly apart from the merits OF the
play-and the play was distinctly on
its merits at the Lyric theater yester-
day afternoon-there is an argument
to Mark e. Swans "Her Own Money"
which cannot fail to win the endorse
inent Of all women, and married worn-

they are suffragettes or ants, TINS
theme, which sets forth that every
married woman should have an in
come given her by her husband, about
the expenditure Of which no question
must be asked by him and which
should be entirely at her own dis
posal, women for once in a way stand
together and indorse in body. The
reason for this is simple enough:
They have all to gain and nothing to
lose. What the men are going to
think Of "Her Own Money" is perhaps
another story, but Mr.. Swan in his
play has put forth such reasonable
and clean-cut plea on his fair clients
behalf that no husband, nor, for thai
matter, any bachelor with the sense
of Justice in his soul, can fail to ad
init that there is tremendous lot t.
be said on the woman's side.

SUNNY FRANCE

The following poem was enclosei
in the letter of Edgar Ferreand to his
family, printed In the Telegram yes
terday:
A doughboy lay a-wounded;
Torn and bleeding, in the mud;
Beside him was his bunky, who
Was known as Hob-nail Bud.
His eyes were sort Of CLASSY,
And his head felt sort Of queer
AS he waited for the stretcher boys.
To take him to the rear. i
All around were jagged shell-holes,
Shiny, foul with mustard-gas;
The rain came down with torrents Oh
The sea of mud so vast;
With clay his clothes were plastered,
Twas matted in his hair.
These words he whispered to his pal
AS he lay waiting there:
"Say, tell the Doc to do his best,
Don't let them plant me yet;
Before l cross the great divide,
One guy + want to get.
know they've knocked me for can
But was always tough,
So tell the Doc to shoot the works;
He'll find me game enough.
1--WE done my bit as best could
And never knitted pal;
I never was a lady's man,
So there isn't any gal
Will break her heart if I cash in,
But still must pull through
For, as said while ago,
I've one more thing to do;
"Tve tried to do as I was told,
, My records not so bad;
I've blown to hell Fritz or two,
With their sneaking "Kamerad;"
, I know the folks at home could u.s.

But I'll put up fight before 80 81
