JOY STRIKERS.

The labor agitator who wants to
ignore compacts, ignore duly chosen
representatives Of labor, and just step
on the gas and let 'er 90 anyhow is
having quite an inning now. It is a
phase Of the deep and general dis
turbance which events of the last FIVE
years have set up in mems minds
reacting upon sense Of labor's strong
position at present. 1t goes on the
idea that labor can afford to show its
speed, irrespective Of whether it has
any particular destination and Of the
rules Of the road.
But no position was ever strong
enough for q spendthrift. Irrespon-
sible, reckless striking is a mere
squandering Of that much Of labor's
strength. Joy striking Is as serious
an obstacle to collective bargaining
as any that the most Bourbon en-
plOyer can impose. There is obvious
" no more use in collective bargain
than in a bargain Of any sort IL 1t
IS not really binding on both parties;
no use in dealing with chosen repre-
sentatives Of labor II they do not rep
resent.

PERsHING AND THE PRESIDENCY

Gen. Pershing's approaching home
coming possesses all the elements that
make a problem for the politicians.
It is often asked if he is presidential
timber. Our own strong hope is that
neither party will resort to profess
sional soldier for a candidate. For
that would be the browning mockery
Of the ideals which clustered about
"the war to end war" and to Crush
militarism." Yet the politicians will
quietly size up Gen. Pership just the
same. Nor will these politicians be
confined to the Republican party.
Pershing has hitherto been classed
as a Republican, but he owes his
place in military history to Demo-
cratic administration, just as Gen.
Grant, Democrat down to tn Civil
war, owed his place to Republican
administration. Gen Grant, in 1868,
switched over to the Republican par
ty on receiving its presidential nomi-
nation, and that would be a possible
precedent for Gen. Pershing in case
the Democrats should finally make
him the tempting offer in convention
assembled. Springfield Republican.

WHAT'S YOUR SPECIALITY?

Do You ever take time to watch an

not imagine the thrills you can thus

York whom it is a delight to watch
as he shines shoes; he puts into his
lob as much skill and derives from
it as much joy as any artist or sculp-

If you ever have the opportunity,

FLU"

Health authorities say they are
preparing to meet an influenza cpl
demic, on the theory that influenza
will recur this fall.
There is no harm in that. There is
no more harm in that than there is
IN preparing to fight fire that may
not happen. The theory that infiuen-
"a will come back seems to be based
on the known fact that every one of
the pandemics of influenza, grip or
whatever it was called at the time
has required in one or more success
sive years after the first visitation.
1t may recur this time and it may
not. We shall know soon, and in the
meantime there is no harm but much
good in getting ready to meet it if
it does.
Last year the appearance of Span
ish influenza" In this country followed
continuous performance in Europe
during the spring and summer. If
that has happened this year it hasn't
been reported. Yet General Botha
died of influenza in South Africa the
other day, and recently Fargo re-
ported one mild case.
Preparing for more influenza does
not mean getting excited of panic
stricken. It does mean deciding what
is best to do and getting ready to do
it. For instance, in Duluth it. means
deciding whether Duluth should put
ban on public gatherings as it did
last fall. On the whole the judg-
ment of health authorities seems
rather against that policy.
The individual can-he always
should anyway keep his resistance
high by living rightly and not over
doing. There were SO many cases
last year where influenza victims had
been overriding and had got "run
down" in one way or another that
everybody ought to be able to learn
lesson. The individual can insist
on plenty of fresh air in Office, shop
and home especially in the sleeping
rooms. He can wash his hands al
ways before eating, as the local health
department has been reminding US
the past month: and that is good
rule always, for cleanliness if not
out of consideration for what stray
germs the hands may have collected.
He can determine not to get excited
about the .sfiu" if it comes and to call
doctor and get to bed If he gets it.
It may not come. IL it comes it
may be in milder form. But any
way there will always be colds and
grip, for all of which these rules hold

aviator will make his headquarters in

RESULT Is
NOT PROGRESS.

We have discovered clearly that
while il is possible to bid the bolshe-
! viks 20 go to Principe. and to invite
the Poles TO lift themselves by their
bootstraps into national existence.
and to bestOw felicitOus words on the
/ Czecho-Slovaks, the result is not
progress toward peace, but an ever
growing extension of the area of
anarchy. Outside of Europe we have
recognized this fact in principle Of
creating manufactures for Asia
Minor and central Africa; but it Is
utter absurdity to create manufactures
in Africa and abandon Poland, Rou-
mania and Jugo-Slavia to their own
fate.
1t is perfectly clear hat if we
create a Poland of 25 TO 80 millions
of people, and hat is the weight of

sized the peril that would flow

TASK POSTPONED

To a very considerable extent this
gigantic task has been postponed so
far by the Paris conference. We
have sem commissions TO Poland, 10
Warsaw: we have sent commissions
to Roumania. Every great problem
that has arisen has resulted in the
creation Of a commission with in
evitable postponement of action, and
i'm every one Of these prospective
states internal chaos and external
menace have resulted.
Now. at last. confronted by the
German threat to invade Poland at
once. the allies have taken action.
They have fixed the line which in
principle establishes the policy tina.
the Poles Of Germany will hereafter
be joined 10 their brethren OF Russia
and Austria Poland. They have pre-
vented German action against the
Poles along the Nistula under threat
OF allied invasion of Germany as
OF the Rhine. They have drawn a
provisional line Of demarcation with
far more consideration of German
claims than Polish rights, but at least
they have made a beginning. Coinci-
dent with this beginning is the de
velopment OF a profound conviction
in all quarters In Paris that ii is now
necessary TO make at least provision
