Albert B. Anderson. Federal judge
of the Indiana district. who has dealt
the miners union a hard blow hy en-
joining the collection OF funds of the
union thru the checkoff system, by
which union membership dues have
been deducted from miners wages by
the operators, has had much eSper-
ience in legal controversies arising
from labor disputes. Judge Anderson
Is a native of Indiana. born In Boone
county. that state, in 1851. He gradu-
ated from Wabash College in 1879 and
two years later was admitted to the
bar. For more than twenty years he
practiced his profession in the city OF
Charlottesville and attained repu-
tation that extended beyond the con-
fines of his home state. For four years
he was prosecuting attorney OF his
county, and since 1902 he has occupied
= place on the Federal bench. In 1912
Judge Anderson came into national
prominence as presiding judge at the
trial of the celebrated dynamite con-
upiracy case

Dishonest Arguments

When debater use. arguments that must be known
TO him as dishonest the presumption is that he realizes
the weakness of his There Is the iurther pre-
sumption that part of his argument can be accepted
as wholly reliable
The sponsors of the City Amendment Manager, who
have been spending suspcousy large amounts OF money
in their campaign have been presenting the people OF
Pueblo with arguments that were largely dishonest
Much of their talk has been about the city of Dayton
and the tv Manager plan there. If this argument IS
worth ANYTHING at all it because it shows that the
CITY Manager plan would do in Pueblo what 1t has done
in Dayton But careful examination of the facts
shows that the conditions in the two cities are not al
all alike and the argument is worthless because 1t has
left out or msrepresented essential facts
DAYTON changed from the mayor and council plan
to the city manager plan, while Pueblo long ago mace
the change from the mayor and council plan TO the
commission form In per capita wealth, in per capita
area In total population and in other important matters
there is vast difference between She two Cities and
these are matters that greatly affect the cost of city
government Moreover careful comparison of the costs
Of government in the two cities, published IN The
Cheftain yesterday morning very clearly shows dr.
ference excess in Dayton much greater than the
proportion of population would warrant.
In another way the campaign in favor Of the City
Manager amendment has been dishonest, because Its
supporters made extravagant promises No reason
able person expect that the efficiency OF
can be increased in Pueblo without corresponding
increase in cost The extravagant the promises
the less likelihood there is of their being fulfilled No
one would deny that there is for improvement IN
Pueblo but such improvements as have been promised
nv the advocates of the City Manager plan are not only
impossible, but they dishonest.
The candidate for public office who pledges himself
to do something that is manifestly impossible demon
strates his unness for the position he would like to fill
The advocates Of charter change who present dis
honest arguments and promise impossible results cannot
be trusted.

The Preferential Ballot

In the city election today Pueblo voters will have
the right express their second and third Choices
well their first choice, for the elective city officials
If this ballot is rightly used it may serve more
beneficial purpose. If wrongly used it may be
of great public harm.
DO NOT VOTE FOR ANY PERSON UNLESS
YOU BELIEVE THAT PERSON TO BE DESIRABLE
FOR PUBLIC OFFICE.
The harm from the preferential ballot comes from
the voters who think that they should fill all the spaces
upon the ballot.
In the Of the commissioners. If there only
two persons that you desire elected, vote
first choice for those and do not vote for any
else. If you think three good have been named
vote for of them for first choice, and of them
for second choice and do not vote for any else.
Do not vote any third choice unless there are five
six of the candidates who you think well quail
fled for the office of city commissioner.
If you give complimentary votes for a candidate
whom you would not want to in office, the second
third choice votes may put that candidate in ahead
of the you really wish to elected.

women enrolled in some 800 branches
in England and Scotland-but this
membership Is growing all the time.
I'll venture to say that no trade union
can show record OF similar strength
In SO short period of organization"
The only organization in this coun-
try which corresponds in any way
with the British Middle Glasses Union
is the League Of Women Voters 1t
is using practically the same tactics to
enforce legislation favora BILE to women.
Last year, the American middle classes
gave evidence of their ability to
form an organized protest when they
paraded In overalls in New York. But
the flame of their rebellion soon died.
And this Is odd. because the paraders
fully demonstrated their power. The

Ulster And Sim F elm

If the government Of Great Britain reaches an
with the representatives Of the Irish republic
and the representatives Of Ulster refuse to approve
that agreement what will be the RESULT
There are some Englishmen who will shout that
the Irish oyaliss shall never be coerced but those
Eneishmen are for the part those who have been
doing everything in their power to prevent an agreement
btween Lloyd George and the Irish Republicans.
The great majority of Engshmen, it has been plainly
shown peace with Ireland, and they will support
Lloyd George in any program of Irish peace and recon-
caton that is short Of actual and complete separation
And it will readily to most Englishmen that If
there is need of coercion it will be much easier to
coerce Ulster than to coerce Sim Fem
Present indications that the course of events
will be the refusal Of Ulster to agree to the proposed
settlement arranged by Lloyd George and the Irish
republicans the resignation of the Lloyd George cabinet

An International Calamity

The assassination of the japanese premier so soon
before the assembling of the Washington conference is
international misfortune that may easily prove to
be international calamity. From this statesman the
Japanese delegates received both their and
their instructions and to him they would have looked
for advice orders in of serious crisis in the
negotiations The possibility of change of policy can
hardly fail to enbarrass the japanese representatives
and the effect of that embarrassment is 10 add TO the
uncertainty of the final results
Fortunately this conference IS more subordinate to
public opinion than other international gatherings have
been. The important thing is not the policy of
the japanese delegates. 1t is not the policy of the
American, the British, any other delegates The
important thing the feeling that rules the great CIV
zed peoples of the world and the important thing,
so far as Japan is concerned, is the sentiment of the
japanese people.

Pueblo taxpayers have choice today between
voting bond issue of $25oooo and voting against
that bond ISSUE
If they vote against that bond issue, one Of two
things may happen The city government may refuse
to go ahead with certain of bridge building
and other flood reconstruction that greatly needed
by the city they may decide to ahead with that
work and saddle the cost of it upon the taxpayers by
direct tax.
There is no doubt that this work ought to be done.
