Your Uncle Sam has said that you

That you may realize your dreams:

And learn from him the many things
Which used to be the boast Of kings;
Now everywhere his teachers wait

And you shall be a happy man"

CLOSED DOORS.

President Wilson invented the
phrase ''pitiless publicity" 1t is a
good phrase, and it describes a thins
which has IL value. But there are
cases in which publicity tends to de-
feat its own ends, and where neso-
tiafions conducted behind closed
doors are much more useful.
Before the peace conference on
Sened there was a good deal Of dis
c1ssi1n over h matter OF publicity,
and in sone quarters there was . de-
,mAnd that all the proceedings should
he open to the world. The decision
finally reached was against that pol
leg. Had the decision been otherwise
thsee would have been no more real
publicity than here was, because the
men who were charged with the duty
Of reconciling differences in situations
Sof great completely would simply have
been driven to the expedient Of hold
ing preliminary sessions in private, in
which the formal sessions of the con
fsrsnee would merely have registered
tho decisions reached in thssA pri-
vatt tx1ks. From. the American
standpoint the trouble with the pub
Itchy in connection with the peace
conference was not that there was mot
enough OF It, hut that what there vas

Gan. ONE PERSON STRIKE:

city schools have resigned their po
ssaions, and in reply 70 the statement
that there Is = strike on. one Of these
teachers enters 4 denial. EXPLAINING
that the tszohex1 have merely re-
signed their Hpsitions because Of q
tisaAgreeme nt with the over
waSes Sine mAintams that such IN
dIyi5ra, action does not constitute a
strike, but hat a strike necessarily
involves the united actten Of two or
more persons. How many persons
does It take to drikec 10 1t ponnote'
for one person to strike:
Ordinarily the cessation OF work by
an individual because OF cot'ditions
which are unsatisfactory is not con-
aidercd a strike. 1t is usually inter-
preted as merely tie exercise OF the
freedom which every person has te
work or not to work in . given oc-
rupztion according TO pleasure. A
strike in the popular conception US
ually involves several people. and
even the action by many persons in
quitting work does not necessarily
constitute 4 strike. AS the term is
generally used, a strike involves re-
funl to work under circumstances
which will entail loss or ineonveni-
enc on the employer. The purpose
in such cases is not to leave the an
ployment permanently. but to use a
temporary cessation of work in such
q manner. that the employer will be
forced in order to avoid loss to agree
10 the conditions demanded.
The essence Of the situation there
tore, seems to lie. not in the number
u persons involved, but in the pur-
pose Of the act. M the method en-
ployed to apply force where ordinary,
bargaining methods will not prevail.
Aside from the published reports The
Herald has no information on the
Devils Lake situation. and does not
undertake to pass any opinion on it.
but it seems clear that the act Of
striking involves the purpose intend
ed to be gained rather than the mere
number of persons engaging in the
act. If we imagine the case Of d. ship
II. sea on which only n officer is
possessed OF the skill and ability &c
navigate it, and that officer when in
mid-ocean should announce that he
w&s unsaaisfied with his wages, ant
did not intend to work longer unless
his compensation were increased, j
seems that such an act would be q:
thoroughly a strike az if Thousand
of men had been engaged In it. TIL
number Of persons engaged has
hearing on the situation in that
may tend to furnish evidence as t
whether the discontinuance of labo
is in reality a deliberately planne
effort to apply force to the employer
Aside from this it seems to haze n
Bearing, and there appears to be n
reason why a distinction should b
made between an act performed by
multitude Of persons and a smlla
Act performed with a similar pun
pose by only one?
