Prohibition laws can not eliminate

All this ought to be automatic, but
somehow there seems to be a good
deal of confusion of thought on the
subject. An impressions seems to
prevail that when a number of men
of a certain craft organize they be-

are dissatisfied with their terms of
employment they abandon that en-

pressure to bear upon their employer
to compel him to meet their terms.

right to do. If they stopped there
their position would be impregnable.
But, unfortunately, In many, and, in

(OhiO State J0urhal)
Recently there died in an Ohio CITY
a man who had been employed by a
big manufacturing for more
than a quarter of a century. He a
won promotion and held ar important
position in the plant. He had reared
and educated his children, owned q
was a member OF representa-
tive secret orders and had been
popular and prominent citizen. There
are others like him who drive a stake,
found a home, make friends and stay
to share in the prosperity of the city
and enjoy happiness.
These steady and reliable workers
usually hold the good jobs in the
shop, factory or the office. They be-
come a valuable part of the working
organization, and, in these days, the
employer, either corporation or indi-
vidual. recognizes long-continued'
loyal and productive service. Many
good men in all walks of life lose OPP
portunities by changing locations I'M
employment too frequently. They
fail to develop any cumulative value.
AS a rule they do not save money n
usually live in rented houses. They
may see much of the world, but that
does not mean they get rs much out
of life as those who settle down, save
money, own a home. gather about
them a group of friends, and, in home
life and pleasant personal association,
find much of the real joy and salts
of life. No man with ambi-

PAPER breaches RoLSHEvlSM
IN BUTTE.

The day before the murder of SOL
diers at Centralia by the I. w. W., the
Butte Bulletin published an editorial
eulogizing the soviet government OF
Russia as one which is proudly up
holding the banner of working class
unity and industrial freedom" and
pointed to rapid progress being made
in establishing the system in all
countries. Here is an extract
from the editorial:
1.-TWO years ago today the Rus
sian soviet republic was born.
ut saw the light in a world
drenched with the blood of mil
lions, driven to slaughter to pre-
serve an outworn system of So
ciety; a society that was ruled by
rapacious greed, greed that Is not
yet gautted.
Faced on all sides by the o n
script armies of frenzied imper-
ialism, the Russian workers gov
eminent still proudly upholds the
banner Of working class unity and
industrial freedom. It's enemies
have failed to destroy it and they
will continue to fail.

a criminal and a traitor to his coun-

But the field of coercion does not
stop there. 1t is extended and ex-

he has affiliated himself with the

Americans have been too negligent
OF the danger that lies in alienism

convince an American that any indi-

been accomplished, thanks to the for

which the United States government
has permitted to operate in this coun-

SOUTHERN STATES BREAKING
AWAY FROM DEMOCRACY.

A few months ago a special cleo
ticn in the eighth congressional dis
trict of Kentucky resulted in a
sweeping victory for the republican
candidate, a young and comparative
ay unknown man, over his democratic
opponent, chairman of the democratic
state committee and one of the most
prominent democratic leaders in the
state. The issues in the election were
limited to the Wilson administration
and the league of nations, and the re-
publican was elected by a large ma
jority. 1t was claimed at the time
that the result fairly reflected the
prevailing sentiment of the people of
the state, and this claim was fully
confirmed in the recent election in
that state. The republican candidate
for governor was elected and seven
out of the eleven congressional dis
tricts were carried by the republi-
cans. Commenting on the result.
Charles F. Ogden, representative in
congress from the Louisville district,
confidently predicts that the electoral
vote of Kentucky in 1920 will be cast
for the republican candidate, and
further says:
I'm the presidential elections of
1916, President Wilson carried the
state by a majority of $4,000 prin-
gan: He kept us out Of war; But
Kentucky knows differently now.
The state is overwhelmingly an
tagonistic to Wilson and the DEM
ocratic administration, and wants
no more of them. The republican
candidate for governor, Mr.. Nor
row, carried the state by $4,000,
and the final returns show that
the democrats carried only four Of
the eleven congressional districts
of the state. Only one of these
four districts was carried by the
democrats by a majority of more
than 500. In one district the dem
ocratic vote was reduced so per
cent. In the ninth district 1t re-
quired the combined personal
presence and efforts of the demo-
cratic national chairman, Mr..
Cummings, William j. Bryan,
Representative Heflin. of Ala
bama, and other party leaders to
carry 1t by a majority Of 400"

because they are knaves, but because
they are honest dupes of knaves. They

and they win be killed, because they

Never give up. 1t Is wiser and better
Always to hope, than once to de-
spair;
Fling off the load of doubts canker-

And break the dark spell of tyran-

Never give UP, or the burden may
sink you;
Providence kindly has mingled the
cup.
And in all trials or troubles, bethink
you,
The ~watchword of life must be,
Never give up
Never give up, there are chances and

Helping the hopeful a hundred to

And through the chaos high wisdom
arranges
Ever success-if you'll only hope
Never give up, for the wisest is bold

knowing tina Providence mingles
the cup,
And Of all maxims the best, as the
oldest,
is the true watchword of never give
up.
Never give up, though the grapeshot
may rattle,
Or the full thunder cloud over you
burst,
Stand like a rock-and the storm or
the battle
Little shall harm you, though do
ing their worst;
Never give up, If adversely presses,
Providence wisely has mingled the .

And the best counsel, in all your dis
tresses,
Ts the stout watchword Of never
