The Voice of Reason
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)

(Cinclnnat Enqulrer)
 The President took high ground in hls recent appeal to railway workers and others Clearly ne points out dangers of nasty and lnconslderate action, and quite clearly does he make plain the advantages of post stponement of the settlement oi wage demands until normal conditions are rstoreo. The Presidents statement to the public IS com mendabe in the highest degree. It should receive the ndorsement the railroad workers, as It cer- tanly will receive the indorsement Of the pubilc generally.
 Right now is the time for the American worker to awaken to the realization of what a wonderful country he is privileged to live in If we are not all that should be, it is to all Of us 10 correct and make better all untoward conditions
 If labor fails to regard with favor the eminent ly and helpful suggestions of the President it will discredit it's splendid record of the past tlve years for during that trying period labor proved it's unswervng loyalty the Republic and the cause of international liberty and independence in man ner worthy of highest praise and honor. There was no stacking. In where grievances were leit to be onerous, conditions unjust the voice of arb- tration of wise counsel, prevailed. The men who are the real backbone of the nation were not found wanting They exemplifed patriotism which heartened our allies and spelled the swift doom o the Teuton attempt to win world supremacy.
 We feel that at this crucial time labor Will De true to its tradtions that it will agree to 1olh hands with all other citizens in the al-lmportant work of bringing about approximately normal con dons It should be obvious that nothing is to be gained by pursuing the endless chain of wage ln- crease in the effort to keep up with abnormal and unjust living costs.

J1NJON LABOR LEADER IS STRONGLY
 AMERICAN

MF Tghe, President of the Ama;gamated As sociation of Iron and Steel Workers of North Amer ;ca and one of those whom President GoHpeis' oi the American Federation of Labor, has choseh 'o rorresent labor at President Wilson's laborcapltai conference Washington, is very strongly opposeu to government by strike or revolution or any soi' in the United States. He is against the reVoiu- tionary Fitzpatrick movement and Is deter mnedly set against the doctrine of J. B. Gent, one of the leading organizers of the steel strike, who declared at Braddock that it was the beginning oi a revolution. Tishe is an American through ana through.
 In an interview given Carl w. Alderman, noted author and journalist, MT. Tighe said:
 'I do doubt that if the Presidents Of the twenty international unions in this country got together and decided upon general strike we could bring about revolution, but there should never be such thing in the United States. There is no man living to whom I would yield my admiration and loyalty for this nation and its institutions never have a single thought except of loyalty" and then he added with smile that reflected his sincerity "This is the only country have. The American Federation of Labor does not believe in revolution We believe in evolution
 There is not any reason in the world for any one to talk revolution this time l against the Bolsheviki and the Socialists. l have read MT. Fosters pamphlet I don't agree with anything he has to say in that because have the ballot in this country and at election, we, the working peo- pie, the plane any other citizen. If have laws suit us partly responsi- ble for these things
 You do not support then the statements of J E. Cent organizer in Braddock. who characterized this strike the beginning of revolution in the United States?p MT. Alderman asked
 "J am not in accord with a single item of tfeil doctrine, but l am not ultraconservative. I'm pro gressive l want to the human family advance but at the time l be fair to the en- poyer just l to the empoye. People who do not believe that they have mutual interests do not understand our country. There may always be irreconcilable differences opinion but men should be willing to come together and talk things over Outside of the question of what is a proper distri- button of the profits of industry should be no question to divide them.
 'lf we could only eradicate the spirit of mutual distrust among both employers and employees think great advance could be made"

WHY NOT?

If those Russian Bosheviki are so we'll pleased with their government why don't they stay there and enjoy it instead of making applications in such great numbers to come here? the Boshevki in this country think things are so fine in Russia why don't they go there and enjoy it? Americans have not gone over to Russia Germany to inter fere with their forms of governments and a very vast majority of those great hordes who came c this coutry from Europe in the decades since the Revolutionary War came here enjoy the govern ment winch our fathers established this continent It has been the disposition of progressive people tc go where they liked things best and the progress under that system has been the most satisfactory progress the world has made in the past Why not continue in that way which has proved so satisfac. tory?

Mcdonald accepted the office only as matter of accommodation to the Territory, and considers the office temporary one his personal affairs will not permit him to devote the time required to the work. However, this does not detract from MT.
