Growing Demand For a
Square Deal.

Samuel r. GompefS ana MS 1eu-
tenants are making such haste in
their efforts to unionize the country,
that as sincere as they may be in
their estimation of the value of or
ganization, they are, in the minds of
many, lowering their standards and
cheapening their cause. There was
time when a card in any organized
craft passed as safe credential OF
skilled and efficient workman. To-
day it is more apt to mean mem
bership in a Stacker organization in
which the best man measures his
product by that of the poorest work
man on his job. 1t is day when the
union fixes a minimum time for
job and woe be to the workman who
returns to the shop before that time
expires, though he may have done
the work much quicker.
Holding down production, how
ever, is not the most serious defect
in the conduct of organized labor.
The public has waited in vain for a
word of condemnation of the graft
ing union officials and business
agents in the builders trades in Chi
cago, New York and other cities.
Mr.. Gompers and many other lead
ers probably keenly regret that such
men have found a place in labor's
ranks, while some are no doubt only
sorry because these crimes have been
exposed and are fearful that they
may too face jury.
Organized labor is not to be con-
demned because of crimes commit
ted by members as individuals. There
are scoundrels in churches, in Cham
bers of Commerce and in fraternal
organizations, but there are few or.
ganizations that will not openly re-
pudiate those members after they
have been found guilty. This or
ganized labor, especially the build
ers' trades, never does. The bomb
thrower, the CRATER and the swind-
ler, the men who bring disgrace upon
their union and upon the individuals
composing it; who use the rank and
file as pawns, ordering to work or
away from work at their own sweet
will-these men from their prison
cells proclaim their good standing
in organized labor, and with the ex-
piration of their sentences, walk
proudly forth into the welcoming
arms of the men they have injured
and are often banqueted.
No less guilty are the organized
manufacturers and contractors who
arbitrarily advance prices of build
ing material and in other ways add
to the cost of construction. The pub-E
lie is tired of being held up and una
less there is a radical change in the
methods and practices of both or
ganized labor and organized capital
the jails are going to be crowded.
There is an insistent and growing de-
mand for square deal. Organized
labor to survive, must revert to its
old standards of a fair days work
for fair days pay. 1t must rid it
self of the parasites, its crooked
leaders who pay both ends from the

shall increase my capacity for use
fulness because, living there, can
take part in the politics of the state
and share also in determining the
states position on national ques-
tions. This will require no change in
my attitude on public questions be-
cause the South has been loyal sup
porter of every reform in which 1
have been interested. With the ex-
ception of equal suffrage, the South
has stood with the West-even
against the Northeast-and in the
case of suffrage the South's attitude
was determined by the race question
rather than by any difference be-
tween the sections in the apprecia-
ton of women's influence and duty.
Son pending issues, such as the
enforcement of prohibition, the es-
tablishment of universal peace
through disarmament, the reduc-
ton of taxes in a manner equitable
to the masses, and in the elimination
of monopoly and privilege, the
South and West are in hearty accord,
and on these subjects l shall find
myself as much at home in Florida
as in Nebraska.
Finds Many Warm Friends.
"I first learned Florida through
letters written by my wife before
we were married. l next, learned of
Florida when my regiment was sta
toned there for a few months dur
ing the Spanish war; my visits there
increased my fondness for the state
as they have increased my acquaint-
ance with it. I have found there un-
expected opportunities of reaching
the entire country in religious mat
ters through my Sunday school
class, which meets under the palm
trees and is attended by citizens
from nearly all the states of the un-
ion. 1 have opportunity there, also,
to meet political leaders who visit
the magic city in which we dwell.
Miami's increase of 440 per cent.
during the last ten years entities
her to be called Magic Miami and
an increasing multitude is drawn
within her extending boundaries.
"It is probably too much to hope
that at my period of life l can ever
become as well acquainted with the
people of Florida as am with the
people of Nebraska, but during my
stay in the state I have found many
congenial friends who will vie with
the friends in Nebraska in adding
pleasure to the days that lie between
me and the sunset. My heart is large
enough to love both the great West
and the great South, and there is
then affection enough left to bestow
upon the \colaborers who, in the
states of the North and East have
shown a courage and devotion to
principle not inferior to that which
I have found beyond the Mississippi
and south of the Ohio. THE State.

His Dissemination to End
Life by Rope.

In a certain prison there have beer
several attempts to commit suicide
This desire to die has given the war
dens much trouble and anxiety.
A few days ago a warden entered D
cell to find the inmate preparing to
hang himself. He was standing on his
stool and trying to throw the end %
a strip of torn blanket around enc of
the cell bars. The other end was
around his neck.

the weary warden. Let me help you"
In n trice the blanket rope was
about the bar and the moose properly
fixed.
The warden gave n tug. He tugged
and tugged until the man WIS raised
from the stool-until he was standing
on mir. There he was held until his
eyes and hands made eloquent appeal
for release.
That's the way" said the warden,
releasing him. Now try II yourself"
But the prisoner has not tried II.

ENVIED HIS SMALL DAUGHTER
Duck Hunter Would Have Given Much
for the Power She Exercised
Over Ducks.

Betty, four years old, lives in n
modern apartment In Brooklyn, facing
Prospect park. She knows all the
squirrels in the park and the birds
that stay there In the summer.
For several weeks Betty has been
lonesome because all her feathered
friends went In search of warmer
weather. but now she has plenty of
company again. Wild ducks are her
newest friends.
The ducks coming alight In Prospect
park lake and generally remain n week
or two to resi- and feed. They are
wary Of men, but not afraid of chill
dren. IL Betty Is an example.
The other day she was walking
with her father, a duck hunter. Betty
noticed she couldn't get near the ducks
while she was with her father. but
when she left him and ran along the
shore alone she found she could ap-
proach them. After a little coaxinR
the ducks swan up and ate pieces of
popcorn from her hand.

swamp on my hands and knees to get

France, it was said at the foreign

not accept the Paris reparation plan

article In the Temps, declares Ger

says, then the Versailles treaty au-

French government can count on the
firm determination of Parliament to
reject any further delays Germany
may claim and also obtain from our
allies full Endorsement of Frances de-
