THE WINNING

"It is idle to argue from prophecy
when we may argue from history"
pithily said Sidney Lanier. What
has really happened as the result of
dry law is of more value as prohibit
tion argument than all the p~rognosti-
cations of liquor advocates in and for
territory now wet. In a recent cam
paign issue the Union Signal gives
column after column to this worth
while history argument. First-hand
testimony from IA dry states (there
was no space for more) proves that
prohibition, is a boon and a blessing,
socially and economically; that it in
creases man power and money pow
er. "The success argument" says
the editor, ais the winning factor in
present-day prohibition campaigns. 1t
effectually silenees the liquorites."
That argument is a~bundantly sup
piled by enthusiastic statements con-
tinually given out by governors, attor-
ney generals, mayors, sheriffs, bank
ers, by business managers, labor com
missioners, and prominent residents of
prohibition states.

LIQUOR N LABOR.

A department superintendent of one
of the big tire factories in Akron, O.
uses 60 men in each shift. They are
making gas masks, miners r~espirators,
and other vital war material. That de-
partment is working only two shifts a
day instead of three, because of the
scarcity of labor. They pay off on
Friday. On n Saturday only six of
the sixty men in II shift reported for
work. NINETY per cen of our labor
troubles are due to BOOZE" says this
superintendent. If the government
would shut down on the liquor traffic
We could increase our output enor-
mously. There is 10 lack of labor.
The only trouble is to keep it working
full time"

PASSING OF THE PENlTENTIARY.

Citizens of Colorado are inquiring
what is to become of the state peni-

The increase in population the prison
quota, Warden lyman says, has been
reduced since prohibition went into eff
feet at the rate of ten a month. Should
this same ratio be maintained the pen

six years.

ations. If Kansas were not providing

"The health work alone is an i'm

is claimed each year by p~reventable
diseases. Each year. in giving birth
to babies, 10000 mothers die. Then,
there are the diseases which work
havoc among children and there is the
lack of proper care which results in
undernourishment and underdevelop-
ment. The work of the Red Cross not
only will contribute to building up the
lives of these children and safeguard

AGRICULTURAL LABOR PROB
LEM

For the development of the re-
sources of the west nothing would
help so much as an abundance of
available farm labor
By this is not meant school chill
dren, women, store clerks, city buns,
tramps or labor that must be forced to
work
Organized labor, composed of
skilled men and women in the trades
unions would lose nothing from album
dant farm labor.
San Francisco labor leaders are said
to be dissatisfied with the outcome of
the farm labor conference held in the
Ferry building recently.
1t is said that the conference was
dominated by farm interests that were
not inclined to give the workers the
consideration labor men believe should
have been given.
In spite of the apparent increasing
degree of unemployment in cities the
conference maintained that there is
and will be a shortage of farm labor.
The conference went on record to
petition congress to remove all bars
to immigration in order that unre-
stricted immigration may flow into
the United States.
The American Federation of Labor
will oppose any legislation in this di-
rection.
As it stands, organized labor uses
the high cost of living to keep wages
at afigure so high no farmer can af-
ford to employ it, and the cost of
farm production can not come down
without a larger supply Of cheaper
farm labor.

we wish to place ourselves without
struggle?


Secretary Bakers department
boasts of having saved something
more than one million dollars by
"shrewd buying on the part of the
government of 15,210,000 pounds of
coffee for the army" This purchase
was made Gust before the recent
sharp rise in price" Saved one mill
lion dollars for whom? The taxpay-
ers have to pay the cost of running
the war department, which has been
beyond all reason under the Baker
regime, notwithstanding the require
ments of war. If the government
jumped into the market and bought
100000 pounds of coffee, who can
estimate the effect this had in creating
the sharp rise in price? And who will
have to meet this increase in price or
90 without coffee? The people, the
consumers, who are the taxpayers.
An analogous situation was brought
about on our entry into the war. when
the navy department HOppeu illO tiic
market and bought steel to the limit.
whereupon the advance in price be-
came tremendous When the govern
ment becomes heavy buyer on such
a colossal scale the saving to the peo-
pie is not real one, because they are
obliged to meet the increased prices
caused by this shock to the market.
A foresighted policy would be to buy
gradually with a view to future de-
mands and thus Jbviate such market
disturbances.

The clerks in the New York City
post office are up in arms over the
petty tyranny to which they are sub
jected by the democratic politicians
who preside over that office. The
National Federation of Postal En-
ployes, with headquarters at Wash
ington, gets out legislative news
bulletin, which is sent to members of
the federation turnout the country.
Among other things the bulletin con-
tains a resume of the proceedings in
congress of interest to the postal SER
vice, including excerpts from the con-
gressional Record. 1t is the practice
of the New York postmaster, accord
ing to the charges of his empoyes,
to censor each issue of the bulletin.
If the tins of news are laudatory of
the Burleson administration then the
paper is given official sanction and
posted on the bulletin boards. If
however, the policies of Mr.. Burleson
are criticized the offensive truths are
blocked out or the entire bulletin is
suppressed.
There is more in this matter than
petty tyranny of postal bureaucrats, "
says the secretary of the New York
postal clerks union. 'If Mr.. Burleson
can prevent the truth from permeating
the postal service, he can likewise,
thru control of the cable systems,
withhold any information from the

of theorists whose chief skill is in
making fine phrases that mean any
thing or nothing as subsequent events
may make expedient. We need a
president whose associations and SYM
pathies have been with the producers
of the country, for upon the prosper
ity of the producers the future great
ness of this nation must rest. We
use the word producers in its broad
est sense. Some consideration, but of
a secondary sort. may be given to peo-
pie who class themselves only as con-
sumers.
There are three classes of men
whose habits of thought unfit them
for the presidency. These are school
masters, professional military men,
and men who have served long on the
bench. Men of these classes have been
removed from close relation with the
world of affairs. They have become
accustomed to receive obsequious
obedience. They have formed the
mental habit of a dictator-habits
that are accentuated rather than over
come by election to the presidency.
This country needs a servant, not a
master, in the White House. Under
our formof government, the people,
thru their Representatives in congress,
make the laws, and the president is
charged with the duty of executing
them.
There are plenty of men in the re-
publican party who have the qualifica-
tons for successful administration of
the office of chief executive. Full,
friendly and frank discussion will
bring them to public attention"
