The last session of the legislature
passed law compelling all printing
offices who wanted to do job printing
for the state to carry union label:
There is nothing wrong with that If
the state itself would only use the
union label. The Times-Record COM
piled with the law and uses the union
label on all it's work. This morning
City Treasurer w. T. Craswell receiv-
ed check book from the Iowa Lith-
ographing Company of Des Moines.
Iowa, for his use as city treasurer but
the check book did not carry the union
label. The Bank of North Dakota re-
quires all officials to get checks from
the bank and Mr.. Craswell ordered his
in September and got it today. Not
only is this work being done without
the union label outside Of the state
but it seems to us that it is the most
inconsistent piece of work we have
heard of. If we are compelled to car
nv union label before we can print a
job for our local Normal school why
should any outside firm do work that
does not carry the label? In the first
place why is it that the state is GO
ing to Des Moines. Iowa, to get it's
check books printed. The Times-Rec-
ord can print just as good check as
the one they are sending out and there
are scores Of Offices in the state that
can do likewise. All there is about
this check is special kind OF paper
which can be secured and the printing
part is easy enough. Maybe the rea-
son they have TO go outside OF the
state for the work is because there is
no socialist job office here--so they do
with the printing what they do with
the office holders-import from the
outside. 1t is about time the public
printer got busy and compelled the
union label to be used on these checks
as required by law or else have the law
repealed.

Some fellow argues that post dat
ed check is just as good as a note:
He has mighty poor conception Of
business. When a person gives a
note he promises to pay that note at
a certain time with so much interest
and he gets the money when he signs
the note-the banker not letting him
have the money until he is sure that
he is good for the face Of the note. A
man might give post dated check
who is not worth nickle and his
credit is worth less or he might be
worth a million dollars, but the fact
that he issued a post dated check is
evidence enough that it is a mighty
poor way of trying to get out Of pay
ing a debt He could also stop pay
ment on his check but he cannot stop
payment. on his note. If post dated
checks are good collateral why not
make some of these checks, or all of
them, in fact, payable two years after
death. This sounds just as reason
able.

GOOD POINTS IN AMERICANS
Mexican Recognizes Attributes He Be-
iieves Latins Might Copy to
Their Advantage.

Let us recognize this: The poetry
Of the American character is shown in
four devOtions-to women, to children,
to trees and to birds. These men,
whom many people unjustly suppose
to be rude; these men, who make mil
lions; these men, who maintain the
rails through immense deserts; who
build up formidable industries, have
in their spirit these four devotiOns,
which honor them vastly and which
not a few of us Latins would like to
have for the better honor and embel-
lishment Of our common existence.
There are in compensation many
children and flocks of birds. Children
are the kings of the parks. Everything
there is for them. They rule over all,
and you may see them, as | did, in
Rock Creek park Washington with
their naked legs wading in the many
small streams and shouting charm
ingly while splashing in the crystal
of the water. Notwithstanding they
are smaller than the children, the
birds are little kings as well. Little
kings that are respected not only in
the air but on the ground. Sparrows
l have found on the sidewalks among
the hurrying throngs of people, jump
ing and hopping about.-Carlos Con-
zales Pena, in Universal Illustrado,
Mexico City.

NOT WEAKENED BY PEACE
How Warning Instinct Survives In
Groups Explained by Writer In
Scientific Journal.

Is not the fighting instinct something
very different from the warning in
stinct?
The lighting instinct, answers AL
leyne Ireland in the Journal Of Her.
edity-that is to say, the instinct for
personal combat, is an individual trait,
finding an individual expression, as,
for instance, in the bad" man of the
early mining camps. This instinct,
having a very low survival value in a
modern civilized environment, is prob
ably disappearing under the pressure
of gradual elimination Of the males,
In which 1t is strongly developed.
The warning instinct, on the other
hand, is a group phenomenon, and is
simply one phase Of the instinct of
gregariousness. AS such 1t has q high
survival value In the conflict between
human groups, and it Is not subject
to an eliminating pressure. 1t is a
mistake to suppose that the warning
instinct Is weakened by long periods
of peace. In order that this effect
should appear we should have to ac-
cept the inheritance Of traits acquired
from the environment, theory to
which the opinion of biologists is al
most universally opposed.

How Anglo-Indians Rest.

In the fertile Campagna near La
hore, India, are the popular Shahlmar
gardens, the abode of Love-" laid
out along rectangular lines, like all
Mogul gardens, with shallow tank
in center in which artificial waters
play on Sundays, with long esplanades
built out over the water for promenad-
ing and every now and then a beauti-
full little marble pavilion, the whole set
in terraces Of banana groves and dense
foliage, and pulsing with the croaking
of countless thousands of frogs and the
subdued twttering of tropical birds.
1t is here that once year "Purdah,"
or seclusion, parties are held, when
the gardens are closed to all but the
Anglo-Indian and Indian ladies with
their children, who spend the long day
picnicking on the terraces, drinking
tea and playing games and paying es-
peclal homage to the new brides of
the year.

To Remove M;Idew.

1t is best to get at mildew stain
right away before it has injured. First,
try this mild treatment: Soak the
stains overnight in sour milk and then
place In the sun without rinsing. Re-
peat the treatment several times IL
necessary. If this does not remove
them all. try lemon, moistcning the
stains with lemon juice and allow it
to remain In the sun. If the stains are
very persistent go to the druggist and
ask for few crystals of potassium
permanganate. Dissolve one teaspoon
full in pint of water and apply little
Of this TO the stains with medicine
dropper or clean cork and allow
1t to remain in five minutes. Remove
any pink stain left by this chemical
with little oxalic acid. If used with
care permanganate does not as rule
take out color, but try 1t first on an
unexposed portion If the skirt.

HOW WORLDS THINK
IN w ERS MIGHT HAVE
BENEFITED BY TYPEWRITER
"A contributor to one of the
current magazines deplores the
fact that Benjamin Franklin
had no typewriter. He says. and
truthfully, that II the great man
had not been compelled to use a
pen and pencil, he could have
accomplished much more than
he did--a statement that Is so
obvious II Is hardly worth quot
ing. The same thing can be said
Of all other great men-of Wash
ington and Jefferson and all the
rest. They accomplished much;
they left q greater volume of
writing than men do In the days
Of the typewriter. But the fact
remains that with q typewriter
any man can accomplish about
four times as much as he could
accomplish with pen and ink
In the way of recording his
thoughts. II he sees At to do so.
But the contributor overlooks
one thing, namely. that the
matter Of writing 1t down Is not
all Of thinkers work, observes
Columbus Dispatch. If Frank
lin had had a typewriter, he
would not have been hammer
ing 1t all the time. 1t would
have aided him greatly; he
would have had more time in
which to do his thinking; he
would not have had to spend so
much time over desk scrawling
with q poor pen. But 1t Is de-
batable whether he would have
actually produced more litera-
ture than he did.
Charles Dickens wrote all Of
his, novels with q quill. He could
have done the writing In half
the time on q typewriter, and
the printers would have saved
half their time. But in these
days Of the typewriter we have
no novelists who are turning out
good literature any more rapidly
than Dickens did.
Thomas Jefferson left a whole
library Of his writing-and he
wrote with primitive pen. SO,
while the typewriter is one Of
the greatest Of time savers, while
1t gives an increased product,
and a more easily read product,
the fact Is that the men of to-
day are not doing any more
writing than was done when the
matter had to be scratched upon
4 sheet Of paper with a stick
or quill.

BY MISS OLGA GRAY.
Appeared Last Year In Man
i'r0nl. Home Making Big
Hill With Audience.

There is probably more real dyamat,
ic talent in Salem than in any other
town of its size in the country. This is
probably because hisirionic ability has
had q better chance to develop here
chan in most other places. Every year
the Elks show committee goes over
| the town with q fine tooth comb and
picks out the particular play they are
staging that year, and as a result Of
his selective service process they
have during the last few years, de-
veloped half hundred or SO players
who, for downright acting ability can
lSe rarely equalled even on the profes
sional stage.
OF all the brilliant array Of Salem

boards in the annual Elk productions,

PRESIDENT LOSES IN
TREATY CHANGES

Washington, D. C.-The first affirm
alive step toward qualification of the
peace treaty was taken Friday by the
senate after administration leaders,
with the backing of President Wilson,
had reaffirmed their intention of, vot-
ing against ratification if the reserva-
tons drawn by the senate majority are
adopted.
The initial test of strength on the
reservation programme of the foreign
relations committee found the repub-
licans almost solidly united behind it,
the group of mild reservationists who
helped kill the committees amend
ments and the irreconcilable group of
treaty foes standing together for the
first time since the long treaty fight
began.
BY vote of 48 to 40 the senate
approved, after all efforts to amend it
had failed, the committees preamble
to the reservation group, requiring
that to make the treaty binding at
least three of the four great powers
must accept the senate qualifications.
The only republican who did not swing
intoAline for the proposal was Senator
McCumber of North Dakota, while
three democrats, Senators Reed, Mis-
souri,; Gore, Oklahoma, and Walsh,
Massachusetts, voted with the ma
jority.
When adjournment was reached the
first of the IA reservations was under
debate, and republican leaders were
claiming that they had safe MAORI
ties pledged for the entire group. The
mild reservationists, it was declared,
had turned down a new democratic
offer of compromise, while the ire
concilable wing was devising a plan
of action by which they hoped to
defeat the treaty entirely. The best
claim made by the administration
forces was that the treaty would be
wedged into a deadlock, which in the
end would make compromise inev-
table.
