Gen. GOrgas Is Dead;
Was LabOr's Friend

The death of Major General Will
liam C. Gorgas, formerly surgeon
general of the United States army,
in London last week marks the pass
ing of a man of unusual worth to
the world.
His best known work was the
freeing of the Panama canal zone
of the malarial mosquito and other
wise improving sanitary conditions
to such an extent that that tropical
country became healthier than many
parts of our own country. He did
similar work against yellow fever in
Havana, Central America, Peru and
Ecuador Later he worked on the
health conditions at the great Rand
mines in South Africa. During the
war he was prominent in the medical
and sanitary work in France.
Since he did his work chiefly
through social forces rather than as
one man against nature or against
the ignorance or folly of other men,
General Gorgas was not slow to grasp
the relation of poverty to bad SANTA
ton and poor community health. One
of his oft-repeated statements was
chat the best single means of i'm
proving community health would be
the doubling of wages" By wages,
of course, he meant what the work
er could get for his money in terms
of housing, food, clothing and educa-
ton. He did not share the belief
commonly asserted by our leisure
class that the very poor live as they
frequently do from choice.
He saw the iron hand of necessity
forcing families into one room, feed
ing the children insufficient and
harmful food, denying the care of
trained physicians at critical times
And unlike many man who has
attained considerable prominence in
the world he was outspoken in stat
ing that the unfair profits of the few
constituted this iron hand for the
many. Among other remedies he
strongly advocated the single tax.

Judge E. E. Hardin
Refuses to EnjOin
I.W.W. Propaganda

BELLINGHAM, July 9. - Judge
Edward E. Hardin, of the Whatcom
County superior court, yesterday de-
MED the application of the prosecut-
ing attorney for an injunction against
four alleged l. w. w. of this city
which would restrain them from ac-
lively engaging in l. w. w. propa-
ganda. The court held that the l.
w. w. organization clearly is a po-
litical one, and remarked that so far
as he knows no court of the land has
held that political parties as such
should be restrained.
The court explained that it might
listen with sympathetic ear to an
argument in support of the conten-
ton that all politicians are nuisances
per Sc, but in view of the political
history of the English-speaking peo-
pie it could hardly entertain a prop
osition to suppress them by injunc-
ton.
Adverting to the argument of the
prosecuting attorney to the effect
that the l. w. w. by it's teaching
seeks to "expropriate property and
overthrow government and that ev-
cry IlledLeileu NlOldCiOl VI CIlIIllldl
law is nuisance per Sc and may be
abated by equity" the court says the
prosecutor admitted that in any al
legged attempt to commit crime the
determination of the question wheth-
er or not those accused should have
the benefit of trial by jury or face a
court sitting in chancery would be a
matter of election by the prosecutor"
"This struck the court" says the
finding, "as remarkable contention.
Such practice would have the effect
of placing within the keeping of the
prosecuting attorney the matter of
the determination of the question
whether the accused shall be tried be-
fore a jury of the vicinage which
would bring to bear on his case the
consensus of their experience in life
and their judgments of men and af-
fairs, and hedged about by the as
sumption of innocence until proved
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,
while faced by his accusers; or tried
by one man under the rules which
govern trial of civil actions. 1t
would at once render a trial by jury
in many criminal cases a matter of
grace on the part of the prosecuting
attorney, rather than a constitution
al right guaranteed to one accused
of acts amounting to crime.
"Such practice, once established
and given the force of precedent,
would clothe every prosecutor with
autocratic powers never dreamed of
by the trainers of the organic law,
and in the judgment of the court
would as remedy be more danger
Gus than the disease to be combatted.
1t would also pave the way for gov
eminent by injunction with a ven
geance, an evil which threatened
our institutions ad against which
the federal cogress has found it
necessary to legislate."

CHILDREN FORCED
INTO INDUSTRY BY
HIGH LIVING COST

The high cost of living is respon-
sible al lover the country for the
drafting into industry of an army of
children of tender years-children
who look forward to vacation from
school as the happiest period of their
lives when they are free from the
duties and responsibilities of the
school room.
There is another army of boys and
girls of more mature years who are
deprived of an education who must
work in the mills, factories, shops,
stores and other vocations from the
necessity of the high cost of living
whose salaries go to help make it
possible to maintain the home of
parents who toll necessarily but who
cannot make both ends meet with
their incomes.
The Chicago Tribune makes this
statement as to children driven to
work by high cost of living.
"More children are employed in
Chicago this year than ever before,
according to figures being compiled
for the annual report of Clyde Brown
head of the working certificate bu-
reau of the board of education.
Approximately 10000 children
between the ages of ID and 16 have
jobs, an increase of more than 49,
600 over last year.
"Old Hi Cost, combined with high
wages paid juvenile workers, is
blamed by local educators, who as

They Sidestepped
About All of Us

Those Congressman who imagined
they were deceiving the soldiers OF
the Great War when they crowded a
bonus bill through the House in the
closing days of the last session, after
an understanding had been reached
that it would be pigeonholed in the
Senate, are due for a rude awaken
ing. The majority of ex-soldiers are
young men, but they seem to be old
enough to understand the tricks OF
politicians.
In the last issue of the American
Legion Weekly, the official publica
ton of the American Legion, is the
following comment on the work OF
| Congress:
Race at Sidestepping
From a Congress that had one
eye glued to the approaching No
vember elections and could see none
too we'll out of the other, and whose
wall motto was Never do today
what could be put off until tomor-
row'-from such a Congress little
was to be expected in the way of
laws for the benefit of nearly five
million ex-soldiers, men and women.
1T will be argued, of course, that
the House passed the Fordney bill
and thus cleared its skirts of the
obligation to do something for the
eX-soldierman. To what extent the
House was honest in the passage of
this bill five legislative days before
adjournment and to what extent it
was rank politics, l am not pre-
pared to say, but no one who fol-
lowed the agitation in Congress for
action along the line of land, home
aid, vocational training and adjusted
COMPENSATION will deny that there
was deliberate sidestepping and delay
in the House and in the committees
Of the House from the beginning to
the end in consideration of this legis-
lation.
Feeling of Disgust
at is a long way from the old
cry most of US heard on the boat,
Hey, Buddie, do you want a farm p
But there are nearly two hundred
thousand ex-soldiermen who remem-
Der it with mived feelings of disap-
pointment and disgust.
mot only do they dislike not
getting the promised farm, but they
resent being the butt of practical
joke. Those dream farms are like
all the rest of the hopes of the ex-
soldierman, tied up until next Deem
Der in a box-file in the spacious
chambers of the Senate Finance
Committee"
Yes, they sidestepped the soldiers
and sailors, kicked labor and the
farmers out and slapped the public in
the face.
Now they have the gall to ask us
to vote for their return to congress.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
AND LABOR MARKET

The Bureau of Statistics of the
Labor Department estimates that not
less than one million school children,
from the ages of ID to 16, quit
school annually to engage in gainful
occupations through the necessity of
earning a living.
Such condition can be considered
nothing less than disgrace to a
rich and powerful nation like the
United States.
These children are forced into COM
petition with the ever present army
of unemployed, and the department
bulletin says:
1.-The children begin an aimless
search, making the rounds of fac
tories, shops and offices and an
swering advertisements. More than
nine-tenths of them go into blind
alley jobs that offer no opportunity
to get ahead. Many drift from job
to job and become incapable of steady
work"
All children should be taught in the
schools to work and to respect the
dignity of labor, but to allow condi-
tons to exist which force them to
quit school at tender age to bend
their backs in toll in order that they
may eat is a disgrace to the nation
and to civilization.
