1t appears that the leaders of the
American Federation of Labor do not
like the present congress and plan to
elect a congress of their own. Choos-
ing a national legislative body is some
thing that any body of citizens in this
country IS entitled to do if-it can rally
a sufficient number Of votes for the
purpose. OF course, voters outside the
ranks Of the federation may decide to
take part in the voting and so make
the success of tho federation in the
next election Il matter of doubt.

A PROPHET is WITHOUT

Everything for which compensation
is melted out, finally reverts back TO
the one creative power which. makes
hall achievement possible - human
thought.
And yet human thought in its high
est accomplishment is not paid for in
terms of dollars.
For dollars are merely a medium of
exchange. Whereas thought is a
medium of expression, for which men
are glad to pay in terms of gold and
silver.
But it is only as the mind Is brought
to its finest development, thru con-
structive ideas, rendered into lasting
service. that a man becomes big and
of use in terms of eternal values.

Music is little more than a name to
children totally deaf. but a sense of
rhythm is taught them by means of
the piano. A little upright piano is
pushed out into the middle of a room
and several children stand at the back
with their hands against the instru-
ment. A teacher plays two chords
over and over-first a loud chord and
then a soft one. Thru their unusually
sensitive fingers the children feel the

If the new union Of Culinary
Workers hopes to gain public

According to reports con-
tract was presented TO the en-
ploycrs Tuesday morning, with
an ultimatum that the same must
be signed by 6 p m, otherwise
the workers would 60 out.
The contract included wage
scale and numerous other provi-

The Daily Express has had a
contract with the Typographical
union for something like sixteen
wears. We well remember when
the union was organized. Every
step in the negotiations between
the employers and printers was
carefully discussed, several weeks
being devoted to it, with the re
suit that complete harmony was
reached. Year after year the con
tract has been renewed, with
never a breach or a misunder
standing, because both parties to
it exercised cGSnmon-sense and
reason. We have no doubt that
the same sort of proceedings on
the part of the Culinary Work

A GROWING CASUALTY LIST.

Never a day passes but auto
mobile accidents are reported TO
The police. Injuries result from
many Of the accidents. Fatali-
ties are so numerous that they
occasion little surprise. From
the local record you may form
some idea Of the toll these accl-
dents are taking from the nation.
Statistics of motor car deaths for
the whole country last year re
veal that 10000 persons met
death i'll motor accidents. There
were approximately 1000, 600 au-
tomobiles in use in the country
III 1919. This year the number
will be increased by 1000, 900,
according to estimates of the
manufacturers That means that
there will be a higher death rate,
unless there is better regulation
Of the traffic. 4
Undoubtedly many Of the ia
tal accidents were unavoidable,
but most of them were due To-
carelessness and reckless driv-
ing The cautious motorist
doesn't often slay, although care
less pedestrians sometimes tempt
late by needless ventures into the
strcts in such a manner that the
most careful driver might run
them down. But by far the great
cr number Of fatalities are the re-
suit Of speeding, disregard of
traffic regulations and defiance
OF the dangers of grade cross
ings. Ten thousand bloody graves
within a year, and the prospect
Of ten thousand more before this
year shall end, should be suffi-
cient incentive to prompt Il de-
mand for better regulation; bet
