USE YOUR VOTE.
Right of Suffrage Means a Duty
 and a Sacred One.

The right of suffrage, whereby American freemen can express their sovereign will at the ballot box, is sacred one and he who ignores its priv ileges can not be considered good citizen, and this applies equally to the President of the United States and to the humblest individual of our country.
 That sacred right, that raises us to the realm of kingship, comes to us stained with patriotic blood. It is the Holy of Holies of our liberties, and to ignore its privileges, as too many do, is to sin against our Great Creator who thus made 1t possible for us to be a free and independent people, who can worship God according to the dictates of our conscience, with none to make Us afraid. =
 The battle of ballots is often fought at the primaries, in the selection of ban ner carriers for the general election. The difference between the two old par tiesNis the fact that one party is in pow CT, and the other party desires to be. Neither party however, has shown the consideration to organized labor that the toilers deserve, and as the leaders of labor, after careful consideration, have decided that the time for third, or labor party, is not propitious, they direct that members and friends of or ganized labor select from the candidates of all parties, the men who have proved their friendship in the past, and to SUD- port them with their vote and influence.
 If this plan Is carried out properly 1t will result i'll the defeat of many of the foes of labor, and the election of friends to replace them, and with this leaven of friendship introduced the whole lump will be leavened to the per manent benefit of all concerned.
 Following this wise policy adopted by the leaders of organized labor, we should strive to select men upon whom we can rely to give a square deal to the peoples interests, and do our best to elect them. Our vote Is still our own, and we should use it wisely and well.

SUCCESS OF Co-oPs.
Now So Marked Universities Are
 Training Managers.

Interest in fhe cooperative move ment is being accentuated by the un- restricted profteering which prevails in all sections of the country. This, was made evident at meeting of the executive committee of the Al1-Amer- ican Farmer-Labor Cooperative Com mission held in Washington last week.
 The entire committee was present during the two-day session, consisting of President C. H. Guftafson, who is president of the Nebraska Farmers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers; Herbert F. Baker president of the Farmers National Council, and member of the Supreme Council Ma tionaf Cleaner Federation; o. H. Nc Gill, of the Washington Cooperative Timber Mills, and George P. Hamp- ton, managing director of the Farmers National Council.
 The members, who have been in touch with the development of cooper alive organizations throughout the country, report that the demand for active and effective cooperation is in | creasing so rapidly thatsit is difficult to | keep Up with it. One important evi- | dence of this is the fact that the Uni | versity of Wisconsin and the University | l departments to train cooperative man. | agers.
 The executive committee authorized | the creation of a Committee on direct l trading to consist of representatives of three producers and three consumers | cooperative organizations to secure in- | formation and disseminate 1t as to ex- I isting producers and consumers coop erative organizations and. to work out plans for better distribution through di- l rect trading between farmers cooper I ative organizations and organizations of i consumers.
 A committee on legislation was also 1 authorized to work for adequate na- | tional legislation regarding cooperative organizations and to work out a uni l form state law for cooperative organ 1 izations.
 I The committee on banking and cred its which had already been created with Warren S. Stone as chairman, and Frederic C. Howe as secretary, report ed its plans to stimulate the establish ment of cooperative banks which are essential to the widest development and growth of cooperative organizations and of direct trading.
 The committee decided that the next meeting of the All-American Farmer Labor Cooperative Commission should
 be held in Lincoln, Neb., on Lincoln's
 birthday
 George. F. Hampton, managing di-
 rector of the Farmers National Coun-
 Gil, was selected general manager of the
 commission; Frederic C. Howe as sec.
 retary; Oscar H. McGill, director oi

 !, It was decided to hold state confer
 ences on cooperation as the cooper
 ative movement develops.

Plans for the creation of what is to be known as the United States Railroad Federation of Affiliated Employees, to be composed of members of the Is inde- pendent railroad unions outside of the Big Four" and the railroad depart ment of the A.

 The plans were presented for adop- ton to the executive officers of the Is unions at a special meeting held at Pittsburgh, last Sunday, prior to the opening of the regular national conven- ton there of the Order of Railroad Sta tion Agents.

DOLLAR WORTH 30 CENTS.

Washington, May 21.-The present purchasing power of the American dol lar is worth but 30 cents, said Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale university in an address before the southern sociological congress.
 The speaker said the gyrations of the American dollar was the chief cause of the high cost of living and that 1t strain ed the credulity of the people to say that cotton, wheat, beef and other com modities were high because they were scarce.
 The great evil of the high cost of living, said Professor Fisher, is found in the fact that incomes and prices do not go up in unison and social injustice is created by this failure. Fifty per cent of the labor discomfort in this country, he said, can be attributed to the reduced purchasing power of the dollar.
