THE ALLEN-GoMPERs DEBATE.

There can be few questions of
greater importance, in the opinion of
the Detroit News, than the one to be
debated by Henry j. Allen, governor
of Kansas. and Samuel Gompers, pres
ident of the American Federation OF
Labor. in New York City, May rs.
However the subject for debate may
be stated to the advantage or disad-
vantage of one or the other of the
contestants by their respective oppo-
nents and supporters, the question at
issue. says the News. involves two
vastly different methods of settling
labor disputes.
Discussing the probable trend of the
debate, the News proceeds as follows:
1t would not be unfair to Mr.. Com
pers to say that in the main he will
contend that the present method by
which the country's workers, more
particularly the members of the A. r.
of l.. maintain their power and en-
force their demands. is on the whole
satisfactory, and ought not to be tam
pered with. He will maintain, as he
has done in the past. that 1t can be
definitely shown that, costly to So
ciety tho the strike may have been,
it has been the one and only means
whereby the worker has been enabled
to get for himself and family and
fellow-workers the standard of living
which they now enjoy. and to which
II IS held they are entitled.
1t is necessary, too. to consider Just
precisely whom Mr.. Gompers repre-
sents. An unbiased investigation OF
his acts and utterances would lead To
the conclusion that in theory he stands
Tor all labor. for all who are not
drones in society: but ii is not unfair
TO say that in practice he stands only
for the A. f. of L.. which comprises
about one-tenth OF all the persons
gainfully occupied in this country
From the debate we are to learn that
1t is to be to the interest of this nation
as a whole that this one-tenth of the
nations workers should always be al.
lowed to strike for any reason they
themselves may consider justifiable.
Governor Allen maintains. on ths
other hand, that for settling labor dis
putes the strike is as antiquated a
weapon as the cave mans club; that
it settles nothing but which of the
two warning parties is the stronger,
and that the cost of this industrial
warfare is borne in the main by a vast
majority OF the people who have nc
PAL in it, and who are always bound
70 lose and suffer from it. He can

Telling the Truth-2.


So she dresses herself in the most
young face, shaves and dyes her eye
brows, pretends to be a sport and
brags about how much she can drink
and how much money she lost on the

wonders why she seldom has beau;

things you really know, and let men
know that you help mother with the

as you are unattractive now"
But 1 shall never tell her, and she
will go on trying to fit the wrong key
into the door of the heasts of men, ana
she will never know that her folly did
her out of a good husband.
And there is woman. Such a nice,
good, kind woman and she has such a
nice family. Really extraordinary

raising expectations of their perform

A NEW ARRANGEMENT.

What is it, Mrs. Meredith? Are
you coming back to me?" Madame
asked when once we were in her
private office and the door closed. 1t
had been difficult getting past the
girls, they all wanted to stop me. But
told them I'd see them after I had
talked with Madame. Their curious
looks, and the stage whispers they
threw after me showed how deeply
they were interested.
That depends, Madame Leets.'
ION what? Haven't l always treated
you fairly?"
''Very-perhaps you have been more
than fair. But then L considered only
myself. 1 have been keeping house
over a year"-there was no need to
tell her had also been trimming hats

give it up for any salary, no matter
how large. But 1 am not quite con-
tented to be idle. Then living is so

more quickly if l work. But 1 cannot

to you first, naturally. But unless you
want me for only certain hours daily.

will you tell me your reasons?"
Il have already partly told you.

then explained now very nearly had
lost Robert, mentioning no names, also
how he had practically lost all ambi-
ton and was losing his grip on bust
ness entirely.
Il don't understand. Why should
he object to your earning money!"
Il didn't understand either for a
long, long time. But If you could see
the difference a happy home of his
own has made in my husband you
would appreciate that he never would

home for him Perhaps men are all

home. My friends husbands all do.
And I think man in moderate cir
cumstances. small salariei man,

blushed and apologized for running on
at such a rate.

it seems rather a selfish view for a
man to take of it. Now tell me just
what you had in mind"

the loss resulting from strikes mount
ed into billions of dollars. Even this
overwhelming figure does not begin
to indicate the suffering endured, the
by the families of the strikers. but by
millions of people who had no part in
the strikes.
1t is with these millions in mind
and for the benefit OF all the nation
that Governor Allen proposes his court
of Industrial relations as substitute
for strikes Labor maintains that this
court limits the workers right to
strike and that this is the first step
toward industrial servitude. Mr.. Allen
maintains that without such court
we are hourly threatened with coun-
try-wide strikes and that this invites
national disaster. Labor insists that
similar efforts have failed, notably in
Australia. Governor Allen maintains
that nothing like this has ever been
tried. and that as far as any real adj
vantage to us as a nation is concerned

proponents of two wholly different
ideals. to present them to the public.
This debate is to be a dignified and
serious statement of the most impor-
tant question now before the Amerf-
can people, and it is to be given the
fullest publicity. All men and women
who for years have borne the cost of
the disputes will realize that it is not
only important that this question shall
be settled once for alA if it can be set
tled it is important also that it be
settled with a full knowledge of the
facts on both sides of the controversy.

ed In the new department when it
comes into existence II the senator is
as good as his word. and no outside
influence balks him in his progressive
intention. this decision marks a great
victory for feminism.
What Women Doctors Did.
Doctor Lovejoy is one of our most
distinguished physicians, whose work
in France with the American WON
ems hospitals during the war gained
worldwide recognition. DR.. Emily
Dunning Barringer,- president of the
Medical Women's association of New
York. is another prominent specialist
in favor of including women officers
equally with men in the proposed de-
partment of health. Doctor Barringer
was the first woman doctor in Amer
lea to ride on an ambulance on acct
dent calls. thereby demonstrating very
successfully that a woman, and a
young woman at that, is as self-reliant
and capable as man in handling
emergency cases of life and death DR..
Regina Flood Reyes is also an exam
pie of the kind of physician whom we
should be very foolish to exclude from
our health department on account of
her sex. The American women's hos
pital which she is managing at Mon
astir in Serbia has been called the
best in all the Balkans by Colonel
Hume. And she is carrying on this
work, caring for on an average of
three thousand sick persons a month
and running a dispensary with the aid
of one assistant physician and one
graduate nurse. All of the other work
in the hospital is done by Serbians,
because as she points out this is not
only a much cheaper arrangement
which also gives work to some of the
unfortunates, but it helps in the cam
paign of teaching the Serbs sanitation
and hygiene. There are countless
other examples of the ability and
bravery of our medical women abroad.
They have made many true friends
for us in all lands where people are
afflicted and children are suffering. 1t
seems only logical to suppose that
their executive and professional abil-
ity could be used with equal advantage
and gratitude in their own country.

1t should not be forgotten in these
times of falling prices that as the pur-
chasing power of the dollar increases
the ability to obtain the dollar will
diminish. Those who have saved
while dollars were easy to get will
fare best under the changing condi-
tions. The liberty bond that has been
bought and held will continue to draw
the same rate of interest and II the
purchasing power of the dollar go
back to what it was before the war
these bonds will be equal to an eight
per cent investment. Besides they will
be redeemed at their face value at
maturity. All this has been pointed
out to the public time and again but
many have not needed. They will be
first to cry out against the bond hold
ing "profiteer." who will be accused
of getting rich out of the war.

JUST FOLKS
THE REAL VIRTUES.
BY EDGAR a. GUEST.

THE REAL VIRTUES.
Man is not bound by law or rule
To win the favor Of the throng;
He is not taught II any school
That honor only crown the strong.
A willing hand and kindly heart,
A voice that scorns to tell lie,
Are virtues which all skill and art
And all religions glorify.
There is on earth no chosen few,
The humblest toiler here can be
As manly and as brave and true
AS any king beyond the sea.
Rich men and poor, and duh and wise,
Master and servant, day by day
Dream of the self-same Paradise
And for the self-same mercy pray
Riches and FAME are not the things
Which truly mark a mans success,
Despite the JOY which conquest brings,
The jewels and the costly dress,
The test of manhood deeper goes,
One may have served a humber plan.
And missed the pomp which glory knows,
But still have been no less a man.
He Is not only great who bears
The plaudits OF the tickle throng.
And none deserves another's sneers
For merely falling to be strong.
For be who keeps his faith In God
Is honest, kind of heart and true,
Tho forced in humbleness to plod,
Does all that any man can do.
