A institution has been started in Brooklyn.

IS the 'MiddIe-Class Union of New York state"
formally incorr GRATED and aiming to make class
tyranny impossible" Thus concrete form is given
10 a protest which has hitherto been vague and
incoherent but none the less real and widespread.
We in the habit of saying that we have no
middle class" in this country. any more than we
have "proIetariaL" still the word stands for
reality, and everybody knows what it means. It
refers to the great body Of Americans between
the wealthy citizens and the manual workers It
includes the professional and clerical population.
and the general mass Of people who are. the
whole. better educated and accustomed 70 a some
what higher standard OF living than wage-earn-
ers. Middle-class people usually "salaried" peo-
pie. They are such persons as are likely to be
scribed typical Americans"
Formerly this class was considered pretty wei

Of life LatterIy. they have fallen into mis-
fortune. In this economic upheaval resulting from

called Tower classes today, in many respects,

millions of cases, far better pay than brain work

The men below able to command more for
their services because they well organized Tho
above the capitalists and captains industry
likewise command more. because they, too. are
well organized. The great middle class has had To
take what left because it was unorgansed.
So tho New York middIe-classers propose to
remedy this by the simple process of organizing
and standing up for their rights
There is certainly example enough for their
ton just now. with 1000 600 trade .unonists set

and write the laws for themselves and various
other social and economic groups likewise plune-

More Truth
Than Poetry
FRIENDSHIP.
BY James J. Montague

fhlEN Dotlf.
There is hardly a statesman who
wouldn't prefer
The privatest kind of life,
To the scramble and rush through
the crowds and the crush
In the whirl of political strife.
In all our acquaintance with men
OF affairs
There isn't a soion-not one
Who would start in the race for
political place
II his friends didn't force him to
run.
They are fond OF their homes and
their wives and their kids.
And absorbed in their business
affairs:
In serving the state they'd be bent
with the weight
OF burdensome troubles and
cares;
But their meddlesome friends never
let them alone;
With unwelcome plaudits and
cheers
They are aroused from their sleep
and are driven-like sheep
To embark on official careers.
They are all alike-they are sweetly
content
To toll in their lowly positions;
They've frequently sworn that they
always would scorn
To nurse presidential ambitions;
But sooner or later their friends
come along

PROGRESS IN PRODUCTION.

Interesting evidence TO American progress in

exhibition shows $4,000 different articles ranging
from needles anchors. and in price from five cents
TO $500. every article made I'm this country.
There is no doubt of Americas ability to pro-
duce But what America needs to beware Of is a
SNUG self satisfaction which shall tend to shorten
production. Americans know they do it. which
is all right as far as it goes but America is still

Harding's Candidacy TickIes Some

Washington, june 22.-Harding
stock is going up among those at
Washington who would like to see
both the republican and democratic
parties wiped out as soon as pos
sible, and who will not vote for
either of them next fall.
ITO throw out the democrats and
put in the republicans cannot be
called progress these people say,
''but it will be a form of relief, a
bit of personal satisfaction as pro-
found as it is likely to be ephem-
eraI."
Men and women who believe the
United States is always ruled by the
money power which operates behind
both old parties believe Harding
would give us the first honest adj
ministration since Mckinley. In
support of this they are recalling
Harding's own words when he said:
"Belieying as l do in political
parties and government through po-
litical parties, / had much rather
that the party to which | belong
should, in its conferences, make II
