LABOR IN IOWA POLITICS.

ORGANIZED labor seems to be conVlcIeo VI ls'h
of consistency in the case OF John r. DEEMS aI
least.
Deems has employed tens OF thousands OF
Imen-he worked not over them, puI Will
them-and his record is such that the hieh
lin his shops have universally paid hun TRIBUTE
for fairness when he left, and III one case gave
him a cup of solid silver nearly three feet hlgh
and inscribed from all the six local unions III
the American locomotive works-and the pre-
sanitation was before an audience of more than
one thousand, five hundred union men VINO
cheered Deems to the echo as man always falr.
For the same reason, Gompers mas peeh Ills
friend for many years.
But Deems does not suit the radical element
of organized labor, and at the meeting IN which
this radical element was IN control resolution
was passed endorsing Kendall and Moore, law
yer and banker.
Evidently. the Deems people are not worried
about the situation. Deems keeps on scoring
the radicals in his speeches, and it is apparent
that thousands of card-carrying wage earners
will not obey the dictates of that committee
whose actions are regretted by many labor lead
erS. .'- ...-.-
Deems with his record toward labor OF al
ways being fair, and having a reputation for
truthfulness among the men which prevented
linn ever having any real trouble with labor IN
the hundreds Of shops in his department-thls
same Deems did not cater for a single labor
vote, spoke strongly against class Legislation
and for settlement of industrial questions inside
the law and not outside the law.
When the primaries Of June Z are over 1t
will be found that it pays to be consistent IN
standing for a governor for the whole people.
and that the Iowa Federation of Labor idea OF
opposing man who refuses to cater to It's every
wish for class legislation will not win-in this
state, at least.

Is THE "A. F. l.. AMERICAN?

p. o. knight, in the Manufac-
turers Record: There was time
when the railroad ,sinterests of
this country, as you know, con-
trolled the country. They named
the municipal, county, state and
national officials. They became
so arrogant that public opinion
was aroused to such an extent
that finally no man could be
elected to Office who was a friend
of the railroads, and the dema-
gogues Of the country made their
campaign upon the platform that
they were opposed to the rail-
road interests. The result was
that. by reason Of public opinion
that was so formed. the admins
trations, state and national, pass
ed such burdensome legislation
and caused such unfavorable SEN
timent toward the railroad COM
- panies that the government
was forced to taire
the railroads over for the
purpose OF keeping them from
going into the hands Of receivers.
The people now realize their
mistake and see what all this has
cost.
But the American Federation
of Labor has learned nothing
from this experience. White 1t
is true that probably il has a
membership of ,000-ihis
means aliens, men, women and
no h
that there is never at any lime
even 100000 qualified voters in
the entire Federation of Labor
Eliminate the aliens, the women
and the children and those who
do not qualify in order to vote,
and 100000 voters is the ex-
treme limit of their voting
strength
Public opinion in this country
is thoroughly aroused against the
inefficiency and disloyalty of
union labor, Its inefficiency and
disloyahy, more than anything
else, is causing the present high
cost of living: and everybody in
the country feels that and every
body in the country knows, that;
and this is brought home to
everybody in the country by any
plumber who works in the home,
any painter who works on
house, any carpenter who works
there, anyone who works in the
yard there. There is a practical
demonstration to everyone in this
country of the inefficiency and
disloyalty of union labor. The
result is that there is built up
now in this country sentiment
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1920-05-20

against union labor; more so
than any sentiment that has ever
exhsed against railroad COM
panies in this country; and now
that the American Federation OF
Labor has come out in the open
and announced its purpose OF
electing only those that will rep
resent them and to fight those
who are disposed to repre-
sent the people as whole, you
will find all those who do not
belong 10 the American Fedora
ton OF Labor combining against
those whom the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor is for and support
ing those whom the American
Federation of Labor is against.
There is only one issue in this
country today, and that is
whether or not we are going to
continue to live under the con-
stitution of the United States or
whether we are going to live
under the constitution Of the
American Federation of Labor.
Both cannot exist. The prin-
ciples of the American Fedora
ton of labor are Numerically
opposite to the principles upon
which our republic was founded
and to the principles of our con-
stitution No strike can ever win
unless the law is broken by the
strikers. No strike can ever win
in any community where the off,
Gals uphold the law and enforce
the law. 1t is only in those COM
munities where the officials are
afraid of the unions and permit
them to violate the law that they
can be won.
/ am pleased with the prospect.
I see more hope ahead than
have for fifteen years. You hear
very few people now saying they
are republicans or they are dem
ocrats. They are talking about
the issues of Americanism now,
sanity, economy, and returning to
the principles upon which this
government was founded. And it
Is to the interest of the people
as whole that it should be con-
tinually advertised that the
American Federation of Labor is
united for the purpose of elect
ing men to Office to represent
them, and not the people as a
whole.
The pendc&um has swung rapid
ly within the past six or seven
months. The Boston police strike.
the demand for the Plumb plan,
the coal strike. the steel strike
and the demand for higher wages
upon the part of the railroad en-
ployes has brought all this about.

socialism. He is trying to fool the
farmers and he knows that they will
follow no man who is openly for So
cialism. He therefore dwells upon
the evils of the present system of
private ownership and advocates r,ea-
sures that are either socialistic in
themselves or that lead directly and
Enthusiastically to socialism. .a... .
1t is uncomfortable that in the state
of Iowa, where wealth is more evenly
distributed than in other parts of the
country, where opportunity is open to
all to gain competence, and where so
large proportion of the people have
gained competence, man with
Brookhart's views should win the nom
ination. 1t should not be forgotten.
however, that matters have been so
manipulated that he has back of his
candidacy the forces of unrest and
discomfort and that he also has a
block of votes of exceptional solidari-
ty from organized labor. 1t will not
do for the people who believe in pri-
vate ownership of property to go to
sleep in Iowa. Every farmer and
every business man and every prop
erty owner and every man who be-
lieves in the maintenance of the pres
ent system should be aroused to the
mary election day and voting fU
Cummins; and they should be aroused
to the necessity of getting busy right
now and seeing that their friends and
neighbors understand the situation.

DOES IOWA WTNT SOCIALISM?

Creston Advertiser: The republi-
cans of Iowa should be aroused to the
real issue in the fight between Cum
minis and Brookhart for the senatorial
nomination The issue is not one OF
the personalities Of the two men: it
is not one as to which Of the two
can render better service to the state
and nation: it is not one as to merits
or dement's Of the Cummins-Esch law
nor as to the merits or demerits of
the cooperative plan to eliminate
middlemen.
The real issue between Cummins
and Brookhart is whether or not the
people Of Iowa are ready to take
prodigious step in the direction Of
socialism Cummins represents the
idea of private ownership of property,
Brookhart represents the idea Of pub
lie ownership of property. Brookhart
is in favor of a program that leads
straight and sure TO socialism. He
tries to hide this by attacking wrongs
and evils which undoubtedly exist un-
der the present system. He is not
an honest and outspoken advocate of

sOVIETIsM AND REPUBLICANIsM.

Emma Goldman Is not enjoying her sOjOurn
III Russia. 1t is not land,' as she explains,
''whcre one may hope to take root easily; the
war and the inhunane blockade have made it
an unpleasant place Of residence Naturally
she does not admit that the bolshevistic regime
is in any way 10 blame. It would not do to
conccdc that the system Of government she adj
vocatcS for America is not working ideally in
Russia and making that empire an idvllic and
delightful place, But it is clear that she finds
its much more Pheasant to preach sovietism in
America than to lNe under it abroad.
The fart Of the matter is that there is more
liberty and more Of all that makes life worth
living under our republican form of govern
ment than under any other that has been tried.
Our workers, whether they work with hand or
brain or both, are better off in America than
anywhere else on earth Under our institutions
a majority of the people can always get peace
ably, without revolution, every opportunity or
advantage which does not invade the equal
rights Of other men. This is not the case in
Russia today where the despotism of Lenine
and Trotsky is just as autocratic while less in
telligent than that of the old bureaucracy under

Return of Mr.. Reyeridoe.

Jay e. House, in the Philadelphia
Public Ledger: Among those who,
apparently, have beaten back, we note
the name of Albert J. Beveridge. After
an absence of many years, Senator
Beverage returns to the front page
riding serenely beneath a slug head.
We have always had certain curiosi-
ty as to What happened to him. TWEEN
ty years ago Senator Beverage was,
perhaps, our best example of the
younger statesman. In him was per-
sonified the highest expression of the
type. His was the high forehead his

IN MEXICO.

It appears that the Mexican leaders who have
overthrown Carranza have agreed on General
Adolfo de la Huerta as provisional president,
and to make the procedure legal the selection
will be ratified by state governments and the
congress soon to be called. Thereafter pres-
Dental election will be held in which Obregon,
and possibly Gonzales, will be candidates, and
as soon as the republic has duly chosen chief
executive the constitution under which Car
rama planned to plumber foreign interests and
prolong his tenure of power indefinitely will be
revised
The nations will soon in all likelihood be asked
to recognize the new regime, which most Of
them will promptly do. What course the presl-
dent will take is problematical and unpredict-
able in view of his actions in the past. 1t has
never been given to the American people to
understand his point of view Of Mexican affairs.
He has always done the unexpected thing and,
as events have proved, the unwise thing. Dis
regarding diplomatic precedents and usage, he
has followed his own original and eXtraorC1in-
arv course. Refusing to recognize Huerta, who
was friendly to this country, he fought him in
to exile and then recognized Carranza, the most
malignant enemy the United States has ever
had below the Rio Grandc. Having taken this
position. Mr. Wilson refused to swerve there
from though many hundred Americans have
been murdered either within or without those
Mexican states which Carranza controlled. 1t
has been the most scandalous and indefensible
chapter in American relations with any foreign
power Other nations have viewed it with un-
Disguised amaze; and if the president was act
ing on anything that could be called theory
or a policy, the American people have been
wholly unable to discover what it was. 1t was
called by courtesy ''watchful waiting,' but
heImless drifting seems TO be the more appro-
pirate phrase.

the car. No government system as yet devised
by man works to perfection; but ours is the
most promising of all. It's imperfections are
durable by ballot; the people can always have
what they desire, and the evils from which we
suffer are due to our own unwisdom our ne
elect of our civic duties, our tolerance OF lneqult
able conditions and our failure to choose oul
best and wisest to make our laws We cannot
expect Emma Goldman to admit this; but 1t IS
reasonable to conclude that she sees it, beng as
she is a woman of intelligence.

Men Who Pretend.

Cedar Rapids Republican,: The
weather is beautiful now and there
will be but thirty days in June. It's
a very nice, nice old world, no mat
ter how much hell some men raise
in it, and a sensible man hates to
leave it and though heaven should
be as fair as it is pictured it is not
impossible that men will long con-
tinue to think Of the earth as their
real homeland Sir Oliver Lodge
says that the spirits of the dead
keep lowering around this old earth
and in his writings they talk very
silly stuff, about on a par with what
the Halter and the March Hare said
to Alice.
And men not only evade taxes, but
they pretend great deal. There Is
an ex-service man in this shop, one
who was not drafted until May, 1913,
but who went over the top as a re.
placement man, who admits that he
was scared to death, almost. He is
an honest man. He doesn't pretend.
And why should any one attach much
importance to himself? There are
1900 900, 900 human beings on this
earth at the present time-minus
those who have been killed in the
Chicago underworld recenuy-and
while they are not all alike, still 10
an angel a trilion miles away, look
ing down. they may all look bit
aHke-and not any bigger than %
many ants taking their work so
seriously. On this Omar might have
said something. but he was always
thinking OF a piece of bread and a
jug Of wine and Of one who was
wreathed in smiles and who did not
wear very much else, for why should
she have done so in the warm
deserts? s. .-.s.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

/ Davenport Democrat: Sugar prices
at present are excessive. Somewhere
between the cane plantation and the
counter Of the retailer, spectators
or profteers are taking unwarranted
and unearned profits When the fed
eral inspector can tap someone on
the shoulder and say, Thou are the
man." there will be no lamentations

Traer Star-Clipper: Wearing ging-
ham dresses will not make the girls

Alex. Miller, in the Washington
Democrat: There are lot of points
about Debs, but politically he is plain
bughouse He does not steal, he
would not rob hen roost. He does
not get drunk, and he is virtuous and
leind-hearted, and all that, but re
thinks crooked, and inasmuch as he
thinks wrong, he acts the fool, and
therefore, he is where he belongs.
And If the socialists enjoy voting
for him, let them step to it.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Mr.. VII
son makes it reasonable clear in his
messages issued now and then from
the white house that he would like
to furnish the platform for his party
in the next campaign. And he has
burned no bridges between himself
and a nomination for third term.
Des Moines Capital: We presume
the object of the Knox resolution Is
to show up President Wilson as me
one authority engaged in blocking
the road to official peace. We should
like to have something Of this kind

II is not often that Paris sends US
tailored costume which measures
up to our own American tailleurs.
Usually II is the evening, afternoon
and other more elaborate garments
which are imported in great num-
bers. The tailleur, on the other hand.
Is more perfectly executed In our
own country and we find exquisite
models In suits for street and coun-
try wear. This attractive suit, how
ever, comes direct from Paris and
is one OF the few imported models
which are worry Of note among the
tailored things.
1t 10 a very snappy little suit Of
black and white mixture built on
semi tailored lines. Tho skirt is
plain and OF medium fullness. The
coat is smartly trimmed with unique
ball buttons OF nickel. Perhaps the
most captivating thing about the
whole suit is the vestee which ac-
com panies 1t. This vestee which Is
cut low In the front and pointed in
the most accepted "wescit" fashion
10 made Of a bright shade Of green
addressed leather.
The hat is also Of French design.
It Is a fine hair braid straw In black
OF the off-the-face type with q mar

crown.
