the democratic primary total vote for

Several reasons may be assigned
for the cutting down of the demo-
cratic primary vote. Two Of the chief
ones are the formation Of the Amer

Gratis out of the ranks, and the appeal
of Clarence Linz. state republican
chairman, to all republicans not TO go
into the democratic primary but 10
reserve their vote for the republican
ticket. Also. for numbers of years
past, the prohibition issue caused sew

were republican in tendency to show

There are indications that much of

of the German vote has kept out ot

WOULD PROHIBIT TOBACCO
NOW

Just as predicted the prohibition
fanatics, not satisfied with the arid
condition of the United States, are
now training their guns on the deadly
sin Of using tobacco. AS an entering
wedge, the cigarette is selected as
the first victim, and an active cam
paign will be inaugurated to drive
this device of the devil from the coIn-
try. At the Prohibition convention
in Columbus last week resolutions
were adopted condemning the cigar
cite, and Parson H. K. Miller, of
Dayton, declared the people of the
United States had done wrong in sub
scribing to the tobacco fund for the
soldiers during the war, claiming,

bacco trust" What vagaries will next
be handeld by the Prohibs is matter

THE NON-UNION MAN

Some unions declare officially and
others unoffcially that good moral
character is requisite for member
ship. What is meant by good moral
character may be a subject for dis
pute, but, taken as whole, trade
unionists are as good and moral a
class Of citizens as any other class
engaged i'll industrial activity,
whether as clerks, statesmen, depart
nent heads, general managers, pro
prietors or capitalists.
Trade unions are too busily engaged
in caring for the material interests
of their membership TO pay much at
tention to its moral or social status.
True, they invite and encourage a
general advancement along those
lines, but it is not SO important as to
be a bar to membership. Employers
in mechanical industries are not over
particular in this respect, and when
the occasion demands there is no one
so degraded or disreputable in moral
character that he is not welcome
addition to the army employed with
the intention of defeating a strike.
A trade unionist will argue that If
a worker is desirable cog in the in
dustrial machine to defeat a strike
he should be as valuable to the union
as a member as he was to the en-
ployer as nonunion man. Moral
character among trade unions is more
clearly defined by the question as to
whether or not the applicant has ever
"scabbed'' on the union. If he has
he is regarded with distrust, as a
weak member who cannot command
the respect and complete confidence
of his fellows. If one has been tried
and true member, resisting induce
ments to scab on his brother by offer
ings Of extra money, long time con-
tract, or preferment Of any kind, he
is regarded as a true union man and
one worthy of confidence. He may
be somewhat lax in morality" from
an orthodox standpoint, but as true
union man his moral character is un
impeachable.-E

REPRINTED BY REQUEST


The following under the head of
"Poor Business Judgment" regarding
the disgraceful action of the Zanes-
vile Chamber of Commerce attracted
much attention in last weeks Leader,
and at the request of some Of our
readers who believe it would be of
interest to the hundreds of delegates
from the B. & 0. system who are with
us this week and next, is reprinted
in this weeks issue:
Under date of May 26 the following
news item appeared in the daily
papers:
"By vote of 618 to 46, the men,
bers of the GAINESVILLE Chamber of
Commerce last night declared in favor
of the open shop principle to foster
and protect the business and indus
trial interests of the city,"
Just how the antagonizing of labor
organizations and advocating the
"open shop" and consequent reduc-
tion of wages, will rebound to the ad-
vantage Of the merchant and business
man is a proposition hard to under
stand, because very large per cent
of the business done by any merchant
in any line of business consists Of the
patronage Of the working classes,
who usually pay cash and do not run
big account which is hard to collect,
as is frequently the case with the silk
stocking trade. 1t therefore follows,
as natural sequence, that the more a
worker earns the more he will spend
at the home stores, as he rarely
visits the big cities. to purchase lux
uries, as so many of his wealthy and
aristocratic brethren do.
This being the case it would ap-
pear that instead of advocating the
"open shop" which is in truth a
"closed shop" to union men, business
sagacity would induce a storekeeper
to encourage good wages in order
that he may enjoy larger business
and consequently increase his annual
profits.
The manufacturer, who naturally
seeks to place his output on the
market as cheaply as possible, may
deem it advantageous to pay small
wages, but the retail seller should do
all in his power to increase the in
come of his customers.
1t is to be hoped that the foolish
and one-sided policy adopted by the
GAINESVILLE Chamber of Commerce
will have no influence on the Newark
Chamber, and that no act Of theirs
will in any way interfere with the
harmonious conditions now existing
between that body and organized la
Dor in this city.

NO LABOR SHORTAGE

New York-In special survey
