RIGHT TO STRIKE
WINS THE DEBATE

Before the largest audience that
ever listened to a university debate
in Seattle" says the Union Record,
assembled last night (Monday) in
Meany Hall, advocates of the anti
strike laws went down to defeat be-
fore the Washington defenders of
the right to strike. The decision of
the judges was unanimous"
The subject was: "Resolved, that
Congress should pass laws prohibit
ing strikes in essential indutries, con-
stitutionality granted
The Princeton New Jerey) team
spoke in the affirmative and the
Washington University team in the
negatives:
The Princeton team was a bril-
liantly polished group of fine young
speakers. They made greater use of
personal sarcasm than did Washing
ton; they were lever in the use of
oratory to emphasize rather doubtful
points. But the Washington bows
stuck closer to argument and showed
up flaws and misuse of rhetoric agai

the american PLAN" which is sup
posed to mean the "open shop" This
propaganda is being put out by these
employers associations, of course, for
the purpose of discrediting organized
labor and of weakening its power to
be of benefit to its members in i'm
proving their conditions and secur-
ing the proper remuneration for the
sustenance of themselves and fami-
lies. It's success is apt to be quite
complete unless the members of these
labor organizations themselves take
action that will defeat it. 1t is only
because of the apathy of the members
of labor organizations that cam
paign of this character can meet
with any success whatever. If all
the members of organized labor in
the United States would for one
month cXpend no money which they
earn under union conditions for goods
of any character unless those goods
carried the union label of the craft
which manufactured them, it would
be an Illustration that there was no
opportunity for an open shop" to
exist in this country. 1t is only be-
cause the members of organized labor
themselves continue persistently to
purchase goods made by non-union
concerns that this "open shop" prop
uganda can gain a foothold among
the people.
When a member of labor organ
ization, working under union shop
conditions, goes out and spends his
money for articles manufactured by
people working under non-union and
slave-driving conditions, then he is
just as much an employer of nom
union labor as is thesman who con-
ducts the business where the goods
are manufactured, and he assists that
employer in continuing to be able
to conduct his business under open
shop or non-union conditions.
If the members of labor organiza-
tions would spend their money for
none but union-made goods then they
need have no fear of any open shop
agitation and the so-called "Ameri-
can plan" of the employers would
prove an entire myth.
There is only one way to prove
that any article is union made and
that is to have the union label at
tached.-Typographical Journal.

number of these coats have been
sent to all the sanatoriums, both
those in the arid southwest and those
in the Asheville sector, as well as
others throughout the country. Even
those in southern California have not
been neglected, as the days are some
times chilly even in that favored

Congress that if the total appropria-
lions for the navy and army were
granted by Congress, little could be
done for needed public improvements,
for education, for departmental bet
terments and other things for the
benefit of the people of the United

DANGER LIGHTS.

Much attention Is being given in this part of the country at the present time to the headlights on automobiles with the idea of removing the dazzle which is so dangerous for those going in the opposite direction.
 In other sections attention Is being given to the tail lights in order that the driver of machine coming up from behind may know from sufficient dis tance whether he is approaching am other auto or whether 1t is a highway danger signal that cenfronts him. Red lights have long since indicated danger whether moving or stationary, but it spears that there have been those driv- CTS who have mistaken fixed red lights for tail lights on autos and undertaken to go around them. Except that un- necessary speed was being used it is difficult to understand how such mis- take could be made for the lights of the approaching machine would be sufficient to disclose the difference but users of highways are not always exercising the degree of care that Is expected of then and red lights whether they indicate ar open drawbridge, the jumping off place from q highway into canal or a holc in the road have been disregarded quite as much as have been hagmen ant gates at railroad crossings.
 Thus In order to better designate th' character of the danger 1t is recon mended by the American association O highway officials that the red l igh' should indicate first degree danger, { | yellow light should be displayed fol second degree such as grades and curve and green lights for moving or trafh danger. The idea. has the approval o
 a number of organizations and certain

 Tor a long time it has been realized that the money that was put into the wooden vessels was to a great extent thrown away. The government finds it. ssH possessed of a lot of wooden ships that are actually a burden. While 1t wac believed that any kind of a vessel would help to meet the need of ships at t-s time thsn this country found itself badly handicapped by the lack of them. the manner in which the wooden ships weTs constructed and the matsrial that was put into them has since made it next to impossible to dispose of them 70 say nothing of utilizing them Not long aEo the question of actually de- Htroying them was raised in order to eliminate the expense of guarding and -11lutaiuing them

The fact that the ta2 revision bin has been passed by the house does not mean that it is going to get affirmative ac- tion by the senate any more than the passage of the tariff bin by the lower congressional body means that that is the form in which 1t viii be finally adopted. There Is this much about it. however, the house in which such leg islation must originates has recognized the duty before it and has proceeded to make a revision of the federal taxes which will not only eliminate some of the injcstices which have existed in the past but will result in a reduction of the taxes.
 While the legislation is not completed 1t has nevertheless taken shape and there are indications as to what the attitude of congress is going to be when the senate begins to wrestle with it af- ter the recess. The Expenditures of the country are still at a point where 1t must be expected that the federal taxes will have to remain substantial. New ertheless it has been shown that there can be changes made which will remove the features which have been handi- cap to business and so change others that money which has been driven into tax free channels will be encouraged to return to supply the needs in industria and business circles. and by so doing come under taxation which win not bt considered epniscatory.
 Under the tax revision bill as framed 1t is pointed out that 1t will mean a re ductlon in the taxes of about $S1S,0oo, 900. That Is a sum that cannot fail tt get the attention of those who are call ed upon to meet the taxes, directly ol indirectly. It is due of course not whol ly to the revision but also to the fac that congress has given heed to tn situation as pointed out by the presi dent and members of his cabinet ant cut down expenditures, Keeping with in the bounds of necessity has made possible in undertaking the revision t greatly reduce the levy upon the tax | payers and it certainly will mean lift

ODE INCIDENTS IN AMERICAH
 HISTORY
THE MAMMOTH CHEESE

Early in January, 1892, President Jef- ferson received a delegation at Wash ington of most singular kind They came from a town of Cheshire, in Mass achusetts, bringing with them on wagon drawn by six stout horses a man. moth cheese. With the committee went an address inscribed, 'The greatest cheese in America-for the greatest man in America"
 At the head of this committee was the Rev. MT. Leland By MT. Jefferson s Financial Dairy, published in Harper S Magazine for March 1885 it appears that the president gave MT. Leland. bearer of the cheese of 1,255 pounds 2oe D pound, which by the prices current, was five cents a pound more than cheese was worth.
 After enumerating the terrors of fed eralism and the blessing sure to flow from the election of The Man of the People, the cheese makers informed the president that their work was sent as a pepper-cbrn of their love for the mar of their choice, and as a sacrifice to true republicanism-
 It was not the last stone of the Basti11t they said, 1t was not an object of grea worth, but it was a free-will offering no made by his Lordsnp for the use O his sacred majesty but by the persona labor the free-born farmers for thl chosen president of a free people For several years their fears had beel that the administration of governmen bordered on monarchy. But now thei joy was great, for they were sure tn government would be turned back to it virgin purity. The task was ardueus the task was great; but God in His wis dom had raised up Jefferson to defen republcanism and baffle the arts of 2ris | tocrats. These solemn truths stated tn
 address closed with a pun. The fTes-bor farmers had at first intended to stam
 some significant inscription on thei
 cheese; they had suffered such fnconvt lnience from John Adams stamps on pa
 per that they sent 1t in 8 plain repu7
 lican form.

This done the committee was admitted to the executive mansion, read and presented their ad- dress. heard and received MT Jefferson s answer, and departed for Cheshire as suring the people through the press, that they were much pleased with the repub- lican simplicity of the whole affair.
 Accepting the cheese, the president said " receive with peculiar pleasure the tes- timony of good will with which your fellow-citizens have been pleased to charge you for me; it represents an ex- traordinary skill with which those do- mestic arts, which contribute so much to our daily comforts are practiced by them and particularly by that part of them most interesting to the affections, the care and the happiness of man.
 ] A year later a sprightly damsel, on her way to Virginia dined at the White House and was shown the great cheese as one of the sights of Washington.

 Well, Lucille, you see Fitz is aw- fully particular to pay all our bills promptly, and I-that is, think I must ask you to send a check for the frock you bought at Blinks' on our account. I'm dreadfully sorry to bother you about it."
 That's perfectly all right, Ruth" 1 replaied. 'T'1 attend to it at once" 5 I decided that I would have to bor- row of Cousin Fannie. She was help ing lilly clean the silver.
 Whats all this?'' I asked, picking up shoe box full of bits of silver ware.
 '"Oh; that is broken stuff and old fashioned things we never use any more," she explained. "Your mother suggested that I sort them out, So that they wouldn't have to be handled every time we clean the silver. Isn't that huge 1adle quaint? That was Great Grandmother Guernsey's. When I was little girl my grandmother al-
 
 big silver soup tureen."
 Where's the ttreen, Cousin Fannie | Did this branch of the family get 1t. ''Yes, it's up in the storeroom wrapped in tissue paper in a big hat box. It's dreadfully dented, but it's handsome. T believe I'll go and look at it jus for fun" I said. Tell me just where it is.''
 She told me where to find the tureer and I flew upstairs and dug 1t out O our archives, which is my name fol that storeroom full of old souvenirs was delighted to find in addition to tn tureen a badly scared old silver cart receiver and uniquely ugly ice wate pitcher, all relics of the early Gen Grant period of American art.
 This evening at dinner when Till, brought in our individual dishes 0 soup, mother asked Cousin Fannie i she remembered the old Guernse. tureen.
 Why, yes, was telling Lucille abou it only yesterday. How did you hap pen to think of it?"
 Tt just occurred to me that it woul be rather nice to get it out and hay 1t repaired so that we could use it.'

 Do you believe 1t is possible to tell whether a person is foolhardy of eau tious by the color of the hair
 Well, it is, if you make your judg- ment with due allowance for other fac tors which should modify or emphasize it. The combination of these is very large, so, for the purpose of explain= ing just what is meant by foolhardy hair, let's suppose that all other things are equal. On this assumption fooltardy hair Is that extremely light yellow or fiaxen hair. But be careful before you bank on a girls supposed lack of caution to assure yourself that the faxen color is natural. With men, of course, there isn't so much danger of making this mistake. ! All actions of persons who have this extremely light hair tend to be rapid They move quickly. They think quickly They do things quickly. Make a men, lta1 classification of your acquaintances Aren't the blonds among them more speedy in all their processes than the others?
