THE REPUBLICAN
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE

In the New York Times of Sunday
there is an article on the Chicago and
San Francisco conventions by Charles
Willis Thompson, who was Associated
Press correspondent at the peace con-
ference. 1t points out the resemblances,
and the far greater contrasts, between the
two bodies IL is quite bipartisan. we
see nothing in it to indicate the party to
which the writer belongs. In tins article
occurs the following paragraph
"Why Wayne b. Wheeler and his anti
saloon cohorts did not see fit to make as
hard fight at Chicago rs they did at San
Francisco is one of the many mysteries
concerning the Anti-S4 saloon League. Ii Is
plettv hard az this distance 10 estimate
the respective leaderships of MIR. Wheeler
and Mr.. Bryan, but il appears certain that
they were not friendly and pulled different
ways. The ways Of the Anti-Saloon League

legislative investigation uneovers mys-
terry or two. rs sometimes happens. At
Chicago YOU didn't hear much about the
Anti-Saloon League, If the league had
wanted to, YOU would have heard lot,
The mystery is probably solved by a
remark Governor Cox made few days
ago. He is the man who closed the saloons

League has fought him steadily, and his
remark was that the Anti-Saloon League
in Ohio was Republican organization
So il is in New York, and so II probably
is in other States.

LOGIC is LOGIC.

1t is a pity that the first classes in logic
have been dismissed for the summer vaca-
tion. Otherwise their teachers might set
them beautiful examples from the sayings
of public men. Here, for instance, Is Mr.
Taft declaring that the resolutions OF the
Republican convention on the League of
Nations "repudiate the vociferous atti-
tude of Senator Johnson" Therefore,
Mr.. Taft supports the party. Nothing
could be clearer until Senator johnson
comes along and declares that "the Re
publicans rejectedthe League of Nations.
Therefore, Senator Johnson also supports
the party. What would the ingenious
student think Of these specimens OF reason
ing? We fear that they would lead him to
say, with Benjamin Jowett, that logic. is
not science but a trick. This particular
trick lies in covering up the fact that the
logicians quoted would have supported
their party in any event That was their
real @. L. d. all along New York Times.

PRESS COMMENTS.
A STRIKE FOR HIGH PRICES.

Many protests have been made OF
lat against frivolous and vexatious strikes
on the part Of workingmen. So much
inconvenience has been caused by these
wakouts that il has been seriously pro-.
posed to limit the right TO strike, and
Kansas already has such law which 1t
is attempting to enforce. If tits punish
able offense for labor to throw down It's
tools, how are we to deal with the en-
ployer who, acting in the same spirit,
closes hi shop? ,
The American Wooden Company, which
has shut down most of its mills, is in pol
itics as we'll MS in business. Its industry IS
founded on the protective tariff, and ,ts
political faith has always been that OF the
party whose first object is to safeguard
and enrich big business. Tho present sus-
pension of operations is explained by an
alleged cancellation of orders for cloth
but men in the trado deny that such Is
the fact, and already associations oil pro-
ducers of clothing for men and women are
announcing higher retail prices ior tho
fall and winter and justifying them on the
ground that the supply OF woolens is
to be short.
Practically every discussion of reme-
dies for high prices ends with a dc and
for increased production Besides the com.
plaint against strikes, it has been held
that labor is dilatory and that, not
withstanding generous wages, its product
has diminished. This is the grievance oi
such manufacturers as have been accused
of profitoering, although no proof of it is
found in their books or in the excessive
dividends they have been oarsing. One
thing, however, is plain. A labor strlke.

WOMEN WENT OVER NIAGARA.

Neither silver nor the gold

Dollars never make men loyal
He who offers money only,
Though the coins he gives arc royal,
Lives a troubled life and lonely;
Mon who worship gold, will fly
When another comes to buy.
Read the history of the ages
Money cannot hatred smother,
Service is not built on wages,
We must come to know each other
More than gold man must give,

The Fire Fighting Problem.

After much guessing on the part OF
those opposing the transfer OF our frc
fighting service to paid 6remen, CITY
Council has nscertancd that tho additional
cost will be about sl35, 900 more than the
sl05, 900 expended by the city for volun-
tccr firemen. The opponents Of the paid
department have been setting the IN
creased cost at more than twice inc
amount announced by the hnanciai
leader of Council.
The same member also sustains Every
Evenings position that with such nm
emergency as the present companies re-
firing or declining to participate IN 'he
work of the department that there IS am
pie charter warrant to obtain the money
needed to meet the situation and over
come the peril that would arise with any
considerable portion of our men on a
"strike," if one may call it such. There
can be no doubt but such situationwouid
constitute an emergency and as such Coun-
Gil could take prompt action to overcome
such menace.
Charles Forwood, chairman OF Coun-
ellis finance committee, has made IT clear
that Council Immediately could meet the
emergency by bond issue. and IT there stiii
existed desire for paid department our
citizens doubtless could obtain the neces-
sary authority from the State Legislature
There is not the slightest doubt, as Every
Evening declared a day or two ago, pue
that the city and her interests have by lar
outgrown the volunteer fire department
days. We must have a more efficient ana
a highly trained corps. 1t is absolutely
necessary, too, that the city control It's
fremen, as it does its other employees, ana
II is likewise essential that it own It's
fire fighting apparatus and the hire houses
The unwisdom of neither owning the
apparatus nor employing the men Is
exemplifiod at this moment by report
of the attitude of one of the companies
and perhaps others to the effect that the
members would not further serve a'
hres-this Interpretation is warranted
bv the language reported at Councils ses'
sion last night-unless the demand Tor nm
additional 81 500 is appropriated Tor us
use this year.
Following this precedent. any or all o.
the companies might 60 on strike at any
time, for any reason they though'
would warrant such an rnthinkahie step
and the CITY could not even use the ap
paratus that indirectly il has bought, no'
! to mention the services of the only men q
hand with any knowledge OF operating
the engines. It is not difficult to per
ccive the peril the city would be placed u
by a strike for any purpose whatever
The mere threat that such thing \
possible should arouse people TO the I'M
portance Of taking up the fire service a
once and substituting the outsrowI

cities have already found afforded incom
parably better protection.
