1t is gratifying to be afforded such
assurance Of interest and enthusiasm
as are being shown in the State con-
vention of the Sons of Veterans in
this city. They are the ones to
carry on" the traditions upheld by
their fathers and as such have a
grand work to which they are bound
by their obligations to the veterans
who went before them. Traditions
like these are a mighty leavening
force in a country like ours, neces =
sary. it would seem. TO keep it sweet.
We saw their influence in the dark
encins a sense Of protection in their
existence in these days when the
iawless would destroy the very cor
nerstones of our structure.
BY organizing and keeping the or
sanization alive to its needs and du-
ties is the only practical way in
which these traditions may be per-
petuated in the vigor they should
possess. In this work the Sons of
Veterans are in position. to coopera-
ate with the American Legion and
thus become one of the most infiuen-
tial factors in our civic life.

with which to make cars. A few
switchmen down the line were not
working and because they were vol

The leading sugar trade journal
emphasizes the fact that for weeks
the wholesale price set by refners
for granulated sugar is less than the
market price quoted for raw Cuban
and Porto Rico sugar. Unless the
refiners are selling at a loss-and
such is not their habit-this goes to
substantiate the well -grounded sus-
picion that the refiners bought the
bulk of their requirements months
ago, in Cub and elsewhere, and then
complacently watched the quotations
rise. even being willing to assist in
the rising process.

That vorkingman must be re-
tanned in his employment. paid what
he thinks he ought to have or what
he wants not amenable to arbitra
ton, not bound by contract. and, re-
CARELESS of conditions or nature of
service, should be allowed to enforce
those demands by striking, leaving
his duties when and wherever his
fancy or leader may dictate, and that
unless ne shall have such privileges
he is a slave-this seems to be the
summing up of Mr. Gompers at
tempted reply to Governor Aliens
question over which he has taken
some ten days TO ponder.
The question was:
When a dispute between capital
and labor brings on a strike affecting
The production or distribution Of the
necessaries Of life, thus threatening
the public peace and impairing public
health, has the public any rights in
such controversy, or is il a private
war between capital and labor"
Mr.. Gompers says:
Labor has no desire to cause in
convenience to the public, of which it
Is part. but the public has no rights
which are superior to the toilers'
right to live and his right to defend
himself against oppression. Govern
or Aliens public seems. for the most
part. to be an employing and non
union public. The real public in
cludes all union men and women and
is In fact fully one-fourth union"
Is the award Of a fair board Of ar
bitration taking away Iabors right
to live. Do people in law abiding
communities relieve themselves of
oppression by violent methods or
should they take their case to the ap-
pointed authorities?
II a man wishes to enter business
he takes chance. Is it the public's
duty to relieve that man Of chance,
TO maintain him in that particular
business whether or not he is max
ing a success Of it? Is that the way
in which the strength Of American
manhood has been developed? Is
there any employment in this broad
land today out Of which an intelh-
gent and healthy person might not
step without ferfeiting his or her
right to live, with opportunities for
livelihood on all sides? To encour-
age such abject dependence on ones
job is to cultivate in that person the
mental attitude Of slave.
It is not ceAtendeA that the ease of
tho business man and the e@ploye
are exaetly comparable. Experiences
has shevn that the latter BY reason
