"T ACCEPT"
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE Copyright 1921. by Prank Crane,

When Franklin K. Lane passed he summed up his philosophy of life. in the words:
 Il accept.
 Here is man, significant figure in our Twentieth session of all the knowledge the average man of our day have, and when he faces Death, that same mystery that all men have been facing since the originated he knows about the Hereafter than the Cave Men knew.
 do not speak of what he believed but of what he knew.
 And nor you, nor l, nor any man knows more.
 Death is the huge Inevitable that stands the end
 But is not the only Life is full of things that cannot change of facts and forces cannot ater and before which must give way
 And to this nevitabty we have curious faculty which responds. It is faculty of Adjustment
 One of the most striking things have observed Tn people is their power to adapt themselves
 In Andersonvile Prison prisoners shot if they came too close to the "dead line" Yet who were came so adapted to this that they would wrap them selves in their blankets and go to sleep right on the line.
 To all of us come some experiences so shocking that we say cannot endure them, but we do, we accom- modate ourselves, and live on
 A man who goes blind thinks at first that he does not care live but after time he adapts himself and his blindness becomes matter of course
 We have losses disillusions disappointments, hor- rors and defeats up the valiant soul from the dust of failure and strides on Il We adapt ourselves to bad business conditions, dis agreeable relatives, unpleasant circumstances We ad just ourselves to poverty to hostility, to misunder | standing.
 Marriage is process the success of which depends upon power of adaptation. sI All happiness is the product of adjustment T What wiser thing man say to Death, the ultl- mate fatality, than "I accept" And We can do this only if our whole life has been school in which we have learned lesson of adaptabity.

Gompers retired to the back ground and left direction of the battle to w. z- Foster the ex- treme radical. who of l. w W. than a union man. His appeals were heard only by the more radical employees of the steel corporation and it's subsidiaries. The large majority of the union declined go out; the comparatively few who did quickly returned and these with the large number non-unon employees enabled the steel industry to proceed with comparatively little interruption Thus the great battle ended. But skrmishes were going in different parts of the country. precipitated generally by building trades which set out to close every shop and every job The plan of the building trades was combination of crafts. of carpenters painters plumbers. to bar from every shop and job workmen who were not members of other of the crafts
 The skirmish was fought out Phoenix it was everywhere with the result not only the triumph of the shop. but with changed mean ing of the term open shop fight only brought the open shops together but allied with them "scab" shops and by the way we do not attach the sinister meaning to "scab" that is usually givento it. The allies consisted of employers who were inherently opposed to unionism and they succeeded in giving to the movement spirit hostility labor that had never animated the open shop employers
 In some places this hostility uncompromisng and is directed MT. Gompers the de- struction of organized labor We think that be accomplished. At the most in this country it could only in industrial disturbance and loss though some other countries might bring revolution. But here the greater sufferer would be organized labor
 MT. Gompers will not mend matters by organizing a fight against this movement in the form it has taken The American Federation must recognize the initial mistake it has made stand ready to make peace. Such attitude will dsintegration of any movement for the destruction labor. Such thing. if 1t could be accomplished would be boo costly.
 But if the Federation should be led into the fur ther mistake of trying to crush the open shop as stands 1t would only solidify employers in this movement which from being defensive has hecomG aggressive.
 The only solution must come through concession and peace.

The Only Way

Among the issues stated by President Gompers to before the national convention of the icaE Federation of Labor meeting Denver will be the American crush labor and blast it's spirit through what called with miserable disregard for the truth. the open shop movement.
 But who is to blame for the open shop move ment? Rather. who is blame if the character of the open shop has changed from resistance the asgressions of organized labor to purpose some quarters to destroy organized labor? We will admit that such change has about though will not admit that even yet the open shop means generally the destruction of organized labor.
 Originally had three shaas. the closed the open the scab.s difference between the last two that in the former. though organized labor not recognized, union and non-union could work side by side. Tho scab shop drew the line against union
 There from the beginning conflict between organized labor to enforce the recognition of the unioa. That would of ultimately if immediately the closed shop and the application of union rules which many employers resented. than they did the exclusion of non-union men
 These conflicts widely scattered but the closed shop movement was progressive It became general only in the second year of the Wilson ad- mnistration when Mr. Gompers believed the support of the government could be brought to organized labor.
 The brought truce but preparations made by MT. Gompers for a general advance with return of peace and then attack ordered by him upon the citadel of the open shop, United States Steel Corporation In possession of the steel corporaton the surrender Of open shop every where could brought about This corporation was open shop within old definition the term. It did not discriminate against organized labor it reflected all the principles of the organization.
 Sometime previous to the attack upon narration there meeting of large employers at Atlantic City, New Jersey. where important conces- sions to organized labor proposed, among them the principle collective bargaining. though it was not easv to see how that could be applied to open sbon But the attitude of the meeting one of the greatest friendness to organized labor.
 The strike against the corporation declared with the approval of MT. Gompers who expected n direct it. the hopelessness of it was quickly
 nr.rent notwithstanding the offer of the adminstra
 ,o to lend it's good offices which would naturally rave .xn in favor of the federation.

Hand.h.kina and PuaiIistie TrainIn1

We see in head line the sporting page of The Republican that Georges is training on hand shak ing" having spent hour a lawn fete shaking hands This is something new in preparation for championship and 1t is therefore of doubtful utility.
 But If that is to be part of the training would advise M Carpenter to come to Phoenix where he would find two hand shaking trainers who in minute will give him more exercise than he got in an hour at the lawn fete they can make him half proficient themselves battle at Jersey City will be before 1t begun. Tn that polite preliminary to the first round which the gladia- tors shake hands. Georges will disable Dempsey that the fighting by rounds will be sided farce If indeed Dempsey go with it at all.
 We have often shaken hands with these two local experts so that we speak out of the depth experience Their styles somewhat different but either style would be sufficient to wrest the crown from MT Dempsey combination of the two styles would leave him crushed wreck
 The style of is a simple straightforward bone-crushing operation. without any noticeable frs The methods of the less violent at the out set but they involve rotary motion (the expert we believe is member of the Rotary club or is it the kiWanis?) which Is communicated first to the elbow joint of the victim After dislocation has been ef ected there the shoulder joint is dsarranged and the clavicle is displaced.
 These champion handshakers in action mani fest such heartfelt frendliness that victim is to certain extent anaesthetized goes through the operation with much less pain than might be ex- pected But Georges in shaking hands with MT Dempsey would naturally leave off the anaesthetic
 If M. Carpenter is unable by reason of the near date of his meeting with Dempsey. come to Ph6e- nix. his handshaking partners might be induced to go to Manhasset. In they could teach Georges all the hand shaking he would need to know and all he would to learn

 The swing of the pendulum back and forth between Republican and Democratic control would he cnecked completely by actual alignment of bers in the groups being formed No one group could muster sufficient membership to control either body. Each in itself would be a minority. Legislation would pass when srtt ps numbering sufficient members to make up a majority of the house united on a measure and pushed it through
 IL is predicted by legislative vet erans that the veto of any measure by the president would be harder to overcome-two-th of the voting membership of each branch of con gress being nccessary-than under the present organization
 With the present ovcrwheiming Republican majority in congress par ty lines on legislative matters are al. ready weak and lax It is estimated that on more than three-fourths oi the measures brought before congress recently, party lines have been bro- ken. But in every case where a mea- sure was supposedly a strictly part, measure. a sufficient number of Re puhlicans have stood by their leauers lto insure It's passage

Ex Frederic J. haskin

WASHINGTON, D. C.. June l3- Are both of our grand old parties about to pass off the political scene, , The question is justified by the formation within the present con- gYess of a series of little groups. or plocs, each of which represents a definite economic interest. such as that of labor, the farmers and the veterans of the World war
 This is the form of organization which prevails in most European par liaments. Under it, legislation is passed by a system of quid-pro- quo among the various groups The labor group agrees to support certain things the farmers want in return for support from the farmer bloc on cer- tain other measures. and so on.
 Friends of this development in our congress say that 1t means the tardy funeral of a party system which has long been dead They say that our two parties have long since ceased to stand for genuinely divergent inter- ests- Their platforms. it is claimed have been made as non-commitai as possible. in order to get the support of as many different groups as pos sible and have thus become almost meaningless. Thus every platform Democratic and Republican. professes the undying friendship of the party for the farmer. but is not highly specific as to what 1t is going to give him. He gets about the same, nc matter which party is elected. It i' natural therefore. that the farmer. should organize to make their req needs known, and that the senator. and representatives who are willing to support those needs should organ ize also. Here is the beginning of ; series of parties, each of which vii represent certain real needs and de sires a real class of men. in plac' of two parties. each of which is hel, together only by habit. heredity ant sentiment.
 This innovation is viewed witt alarm by many legislators. who SC their whole machinery of party gov ernment threatened.
 The Old System
 In the days when Uncle Joe Can non presided as Speaker. the direc tion of legislation rested largely i the hands of the speaker. He ap pointed members of all committee. and even designated who should b chairmen. This system was over thrown and succeeded by the rule which at present govern the conduc of the house. and legislation before i in the famous Cannon rules fight" At this time. the legislative pro gram is largely in the hands of small body of men known as tn steering committee" No bill of an importance has much chance unles it wins the approval of this commit tee. There the course of legislatio is mapped out, and legislative tactic decided upon.
 With the overwhelming Republfca majority elected last fall. it was ger erally supposed that everythir would be easy for the majority lead

The Flag
 We do not know whether in any country other than America the flag to the populace but 1t has always warmly cherished by right-think- ing Americans They have not always held 1t in erence as a sacred object. They have rather re- garded it lovingly something belonging them individuals rather than q symbol of govern mont.
 That Is perhaps the best view take of 1t if ws do not abbuse the familiarity which we thus estabiish.
 In crude and offensive way some of have testified to affection for the flag by making trade mark of 1t. which forced pro- htbit. But those of who abused the flag. in that very act evidenced appreciation of 1t and recognized the strong appeal 1t always made to the people
 We regard the flag as something to awaken the emotions of love and pride rather than adoration. few years ago the woman's Relief Corps presented to the Arizona contingent of the Rough Riders the of its departure from Phoenix beautiful naS on it's return it displayed in the City Hall plaxa. It was torn and weather stained. We women weep over its scars as they would have wept the wounds of father brother, son or husband returned fro mthe wars.
 We think 1t is the beautiful nag and why not;
 When freedom from her mountain height
 Unfurled her standard the air. She tore the robe of night
 And set the stars of glory there She mingled with it's gorgeous dyes, The milky baldricof the slies And striped its pure celestial white With streakings of the morning light; Then from his in sun, z She called Eage-bearer down, And gave into his mighty hand The symbol of her chosen land. Flag of the free hearts only home. By angel hands to valor given. Thy stars have let the welkn dome, And all thy hues were born in heaven

NEW PARTIES IN CONGRESS

CTS in the house and senate. Now rocks and reefs are beginning to loom ahead, placed there. not by the small Democratic minority, but by the for mation of groups or blocs. made up of members of both the big parties. who are openly declaring their intention to stand together on various questions.
 A group is already in existence. numbering in its ranks members of the house and senate alike. avowedly holding together. regardless of party affiliations. representing labor in congress. Recently was announced the formation of a farmer group or bloc. composed of 20 senators and 100 representatives all of whom will place the passage of what they consider needful agricultural legislation above all other political and legislative con- sideration. Twenty four ex-soldier members of the house. many of them first-term members. have affiliated and declared war on the regular army whenever that institution enters the | legislative lists
 There is also Pacific Coast group. and a group pledging itself to plac- ! ing reclamation projects by irriga- | ton above party consideration and 1 political lines of cleavage. Other groups are formed or are in process of formation.
 Not only do the members of these | groups pledge themSelves to stand solidly together for the class of legis- lation they desire. but to vote tO- | gether on all other projects where it Is decided that the interests of their
 group would be furthered.
 The strength of these organizations of. the members of congress. all of
 which will be minorities. of course,
 lies in the hope of being able to force the Republican majority leaders tc approve their legislative programs.
 With the growth of the groups. and
 collateral to it. is the astonishing growth fin the national capital oi
 class lobbies- IL is estimated that
 there are about l25 of these lobbies in Washington conducting campaigns
 for the adoption of the measure:
 which the interests they represent
 advocate.
 Congressmen in Revolt
 In addition to this pressure on con-
 gress. which has had much to do with the formation of the blocs in con
 gross. there has been a reaction or the part of sincere members of .h' senate and house against the oIC methods of party rule. These men 5 because of their own convictions. ar, ready to throw overheard the olC control of legislation by party caucu.
 and majority leadership.
 If it becomes firmly established a this group formation will be an en ? tirely new thing in American legis 7 lative life.
