is THIS SANS SWAN SONG?

Mr.. Gompers says he is about to
start a great campaign to carry 'the
message of trade unionism to every
corner Of the land" That sounds
good to the ear of the avearge Cr-
ganized worker, but so did the con-
fident assertion of the labor chief
last fall when he was telling his
followers that they must send men
to congress who would support leg
islation dictated by Gompers. The
wage earners will do we'll to be weary
of the sort of union message that
gentleman carries. The present high
cost of living and the reductions OF
wages are due largely to the exces-
sive wage demands made by Mr.
Gompers upon capital during the war
and the reaction of the public in its
attitude toward organized labor thai
followed. The workers would be fal
better off with a man at their heat
who has a sounder notion of the prop
er relation between wages and tn,

THINK 1T OVER.

Railroad labor organizations should
ponder long before they appeal to the
courts the wage reductions soon to
be ordered by the railroad labor
board. The transportation act never
contemplated court review of the
boards decisions. If it had, the rail-
roads might have had recourse to le-
gal proceedings last summer when
the rates were raised, but they &C
cepted the verdict and paid the price.
They could have carried on their ar
guments on one pretext or another
and prolonged the effective date of
the increased wage schedules until a
lowered cost of living removed alto
gether the reason for the raise. II
would be only fair for the brother.
hoods to bow to the mandate of the
board, as the railroads did, otherwise
the suspicion will be held that they
are really seeking to prove the trans
portation act unavoidable and max,
it easier to force government own
ership upon the people.

other hand, Europe is strictly de-
pendent, first, on some Of our raw
materials; and, second, on the alb
sorption Of q portion of their manu-
featured products. No sane man
would commit suicide, and /. it would
be suicide to open our markets to
permit the European nations to dis
place with their products the prod
ucts of American labor. These same
nations are making every effort, and
using all available means, even using
the money we loaned them, in order
to further their commercial inter
ests and destroy our competition by
many cheap products they are able
to produce at less labor cost"
It is just this independence that
the republican party has for over
fifty years been striving to perpet.
uate, and which the democratic party
has been attempting to break down

Hitting ore Nail on ore Head


they serve the public better, and that
is true of newspapers. Ministers
serve the public and the churches are
altruistic. But the minister rightful-
ly asks to be paid and is paid for his
services. Some ministers do good,
some do harm, and some probabaly
are ineffective in doing either. We
know a minister who said, after three
years service in very cynical COM
munity, that he believed the only good
he had done in that time was In pur-
suading a man not to drink. He would
be more of a success today.
However, the principles that I'M
derlie these conditions apply just as
fully to newspapers. Newspapers are
good, bad or Indifferent. The news
papers serve the public just as do the
ministers, but in a different sphere
and both must be paid for the work

lister; ditto a successful newspaper
Unsuccessful, neither can do so. So
neither can get entirely away from
the economic fetter.

Newspapers purvey what they can
sell. In better or less fiercely coin
petitive world perhaps they could sell
q more elevated brace of commodi-
ties in news and editorial. Low adj
vertisenents, of course, are the prod
uct of the advertiser, and they are
but partly responsible for these. !
Now and then there is a minister
like that of the Inside of the Cup"
and he fights what he conceives to be
the evil of the world regardless of
consequences. William Jenningc Bry-
an would like TO establish govern
ment newspaper to give what he des-
cribes as unbiased news. We will get
that neither the Rev. John Holders
conception Of good nor MFR. Bryan's
brand of unbiased news would meet
with universal or even general accep-
tance or prove successful. Holder
would tire out after he had shaved for
thousand years for the no-accounts,
and Bryan's point of view would be
pronounced mere propaganda as the
readers of the journal became con-
WINGED they were getting more Bryan
than unbiased news.
Newspapers-just as do churches
and ministers-first insure their sur
vival by successful economic pol
icy, and then again just like the min
listers and churches, they try to de
more business; and while there is {
fundamental difference between the
churches and ministers, and newspa

HARVESTING THE NATIONS

Economies progress lies in the inn
provement of production methods, the
elimination of waste, and in the stim-
ulation and extension of markets,
which means distribution. With these
facts in mind, the prediction of Mi

A primary requisite in the advance
of civilization is controlled power. 1t

promised in Mr.. Bumps forecast.

The fact that one is moving is of

one is going. The Wilson administ-

socialists-thus giving the nation a
distinct trend toward socialism. His
