A FEW DONT'S
by ID. Way

Don't condemn the labor movement
because you know of Objectionable
features" Every man and every hu-
man institution has some imperfec-
tions.
Don't "wait for others" Others
are waiting for you. Some must be
among the first-why not you?
Don't forget that the more bitterly
the employer opposes labor unions,
the more the employees should sup
port them. There's a financial reason
Think it over.
Don't shirk the moral obligation to
do all you can to uphold the dignity
of our trade-to elavate the standard
of our living.
Don't be blind to your own inter-
ests, unionism helps all workingmen,
all society, the home and state.
Don't let so-called independence"
prevent you from being unselfsh.
We are all dependent on someone of
something. No man stands alone"
Let's get closer together.
Don't forget that bricklayers, plast-
erers, tinsmiths, stonecutters and in
some places, hodcarriers, receive more
pay than teachers, and don't forget
the reason-strong organization.
Don't say, 81 got along without
union for five Cor So years-it is
useless to me; unions can't accom-
plish their purposes" They do!
Over six million union men say so!

The surest method of reducing the
high cost of living would be for Con-
gress to pass an act making it obli-
gatory for all corporations, partner
ships or individuals to publish their
income tax returns in their respective
localities. Turn the spotlight of
public opinion on the profteer and he
will disappear.

Labor and capital are brothers. So
were the sons of Jacob who sold their
brother Joseph into slavery, so were
Jacob and Esau, and Jacob swindled
his brother out of his first birthright
and stole away from him his fathers
blessing. On the other hand, Saul
and Jonathan were strangers, but
they were true to each other unto
death. =

Cheerfulness, looking always on
the bright side of things, determined
to always stand in the sunshine,
rather than the shadow-this it is
that makes life, with its knotty prob
lens, continually easier. "It's the oil
of gladness" that helps in doing the
work.
The workers who strike in protest
against their wrongs may be defeat
ed, but the public protest registered
in the demand for the union label is
invincible.

the business sense OF a. Partisan restau-

to eat at the same time

is not the only one who suffers from It's
demoralizing attractions. The very large

was very much reduced and practically no
new recruits we're received, but since peace
has come the stream is flowing to Paris
as strongly as ever. The Rev. DR.. Beck
man, rector of the American Episcopal
Church in Paris, who knows the city from
long experience, has recently spoken
strongly of the dangers to American girl
students there.
There is a striking similarity in these
cases. A girl in some small American
town sings in the church choir and her
voice Is admired. People tell her that she
would be a great singer IL she studied.
She dreams of becoming an Eames or a
Nordica or a Mary Garden. They all
studied In Paris, and in some way she must
find the means to 60 there and do like
them.
When sho arrives in Paris she goes, Of
course, to some fashionable professor Of
singing. She may have no voice at all or
one that is only strong enough for coun.
try church. He never tells her that--his
business is to persuade girls that they have
voices. He tells her that with hard study
she will be able to achieve public career.

ment and many a girl listens too readily

II will be readily understood that an
evening passed at such theatrical exl4-
bition as any of those mentioned may lead
a person to the other entertainments that
await him in many quarters Of Paris
throughout the night. Exhibitions of baro
bodies in dances and wrestling matches,
scenes of exaggerated bloodshed, all en-
HANGED with every conceivable appeal to
the senses are bound to have profound
effect on the nervous system Of the spec
rators.
The French Senators have stated that
these demoralizing theatrical displays dis
pose French youth to drug taking and other
vices and favor the development of tuber;
culosis and national decay. What then
must be their effect on unsophisticated
young Americans coming from a country
where such exhibitions are suppressed by
law, and where temperance IS enforced?
We see the result in such cases as that o

American experience in Paris, less con-

II she wishes. Ladies want to see every
thing in Paris"
The demoralizing effect Of the night life
Of Paris is powerfully assisted by the char
acter Of the performances at the legiti-
mate theatres Of the. city. An evening
spent at one of these hectic and undraped
performances prepares the visitor for tho
considerably worse amusements that lie
in wait for him on every side. Even the
Grand Opera has displayed almost unclad
prima donnas in the arms of professional
athletes-as in Quo Vadis."
Theatres Of the first rank that formerly
produced works of the highest artistic and
literary value are now displaying acres OF
reckless nudity Such an exhibition as
that of the bautiful Simone Dherlys in the
opera "Quo Vadis" is an example of what
is happening generally. Mile. Dherlys dis
played her superb figure covered only with
it's exquisite natural skin, except for few
strips of feathers and pearls. Even Paris
gasped at the first sight.
Another instance of the prevailing ten
dency occurred when the refined and dig
nifed prima donna, Marie Lafargue, ap-
reared partially unclad in the arms Of an
equally updraped professional athlete.
