Aberdeen ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Col
lector Nee i'll his statement published
in The American Monday morning ex-
plains that he warned Mr.. Waterbury
of the sacred precincts of the revenue
Office with his proposition to collect
so much per head from the girl en-
ployes there.
He says he showed him the law that
makes it a serious penalty to try to
solicit money for campaign contribu-
tons from such government employees
as are included in the members of the
office staff and told him that they
might moi be approached within the
office or mail demands addressed to
them there.
This was proper and in order for
him to do but Mr. Waterbury, it seems
went ahead on his own hook, the col
lector says, sent the letters to the
home addresses Of the girls and ap-
pointed a hotel room as the place
where they might call and leave their
checks.
The public Is not particularly inter-
ested in the individual participation in
any Of the moves in the incident, but
what the people do want to know is
being developed by the. democratic
party?
Cox, democratic candidate for pres
ident, made a futile charge alleging
that republicans were raising SIS, 000,-
900 for a campaign fund. While he
shouts this, here in South Dakota one
CT the party agents, call the girl en-
pioyes into a hotel room and is al
legged to have received from them
$40 apiece.
is the same thing being done else
where and throughout the country
with other government employees?
That is the phase of the thing that
interests the public.
1t looks as though We would find
out more about II from the sober and
sedate Investigation of all the cir
cumstances by the senatorial commit
tee. Word has been given out by that
body in Chicago that it will take up
the incident OF the letter.
That ought to get at the facts from
both sides and show just how widely
the system of "blackjacking" girl gov
eminent employees put OF money to
help elect a democratic president is
Icing practised.

SHUBERT.BELASCO-
"Thc Man Who Came Back"

Probably The Man Who Came
Back" will be the last play to have
an opium den sccnc--that is. with
contemporary interest. When the
drama began its run at the Play
house in 1916 its third act, with the
effects" in a Shanghai opium joint,
was ostensibly a picture of condi-
tions as they existed. But the opium
trade received its death blow within
the year, and at the beginning of
this month it was officially stamped
out.
The American consul general in
Hong Kong now reports, the opium
business has practically passed out
Of the trade of the Far East" With
the French frowning upon absinthe.
the Russians prohibiting the con-
sumption of vodka, and tho Chinese
stamping out the opium curse, the
supply of dramatic material is con-
siderably lessened, especially for
those plays which depict the strug-
gle of a prodigal son.
But the dramatic strength of such
a scene as that in The Man Who
Came Back" is apparently not at all
affected by contemporary events
when they arc so far off, because
the play ran for over year in New
York and eight months in Boston,
and comes TO the Shubcrt-Bclasco
Thcater next Sunday night for a
weeks engagement.
In tho company arc Paul Gordon,
Ada Gleason. Lillian Booth, Irving
Southland and others.

like the eight-hour report recently is
sued by the United States public
health service, and which stated that
its investigation of a 10-hour and an
eight-hour plant showed that the
eight-hour system is the best. The

represents a score of employers as
sociations. 1t has issued state
ments to the effect that a 54-hour
week is just about normal day.
The public health service report is
naturally resented by the employers

FARMER-LABOR IN
CANADA

Ottawa, Canada.-A call to Cana
dians interested in forming d Farmer
Labor party to meet in a convention
with a view to launching such d
movement is being sent out by James
Simpson, managing editor of the IN
dustrial Banner and a leader in the
labor movement in Toronto.
Simpson says he has the endorse
ment of both labor and agrarian lead
ers for this call and that the main
duty of the convention will be to ar
range for coordination of action by
the two groups. He wants candi-
dates Of the Farmer-Labor to be
nominated in practically every con-
stituency of Canada and feels that
workers will give the old parties a
severe tussle at the next election.
He sees in the results of the pro-
vincial elections of Nova Scotia abun-
dant evidence that the new move
ment of democratic protest has Sc
cured firm lodgment in a province
notorious for its partisan politics.
Quebec, alone, he says, remains COM
paratively immune from the demo-
Gratis uprising, but even there, the
United Farmers are preparing to
nominate candidates in certain con
stituencies.-Seattle Union Record.
