LABOR DAY
Is Organized LabOr's Holiday aad 1t
Should Be Observed AS Such

Labor Day to the organized worker
is his Emancipation Day, his Inde-
pendence Day, his Thanksgiving, his
holiday. On this day our thoughts are
directed to our fellow workers Of the
factory, the mill, the shop and the
mine, and to those who work at the
bench, the loom or the plow and we
extent fraternal greetings TO them,
and for that matter to all who toll
for living.
1t is only right and proper that the
| producers and creators of wealth
should at least have one day in the
year set apart for their benefit, their
use, their enjoyment, their edlf'cation
and enlightenment.
On Labor Day, parades, demon,tra-
J tions, picnics and public meetings Of
all kinds are held and from pulpit,
stage and platforms, the story IF La
Dor is told. 1t is a sad story at that;
one of slavery and submission, of
starvation and humiliation and later
of rebellion and revolution. But La
Dor has passed through these stages
and out of bondage. The slavery of
former times is gone. The sertdom
of past ages is no more. The long
hours of toll of quarter of CEN
tury ago have been reduced-wages
have been increased; the sweat-shop
| system and other obnoxious systems
have been curtailed and working con-
ditions have been generally improved.
All in all, much good has been accom-
plished and this is due solely to the
efforts of Organized Labor.
Through organization ignorance has
been dispelled, prejudices wiped out,
discomfort and dissatisfaction curtajl-
ed and freedom and equality estab-
lished.
Labor carries with it the gospel of
peace and good will. No matter what
may be said to the contrary. The
great army of Labor is the great
army of peace. It's arms are the tools
of industry.
The mission of Organized Labor is
, to construct, not to tear down, to i'm
prove, not to destroy, to strengthen,
not to weaken, to protect, not to de-
sert, to stand and defend, not to 1c-
treat, but all done in legitimate
manner, open and above board in the
interest of every one who rolls for a
living.
The wage workers therefore are
we'll deserving of one day in the year
] to be known as theirs, on which they
can meet and make merry-fo get
their troubles and sorrows and throw
dull care away for the time being.

SENATOR SPENCER
"PRESUMES" WRONG

81 presume this closes the incident"
were Seldom P. Spencer's first words
to the Senate after he read to mem
bers Nat Goldstein's letter to Pres
ident Harding requesting that the ex-
ecutive withdraw his nomination to be
United States Collector of Internal
Revenue at St. Louis. He presumed"
wrong, thousands upon thousands of
Missouprians can tell him. The Gold
stein incident" is not closed and will
not be closed until a morning some
four years distant when the dapper
Senator-not so dapper after weari-
some campaign and sleepless nights
filled with anxiety-will bury his few
cred brow in his hands and sadly med
itate as he slowly begins to realize he
has been repudiated by the voters of
Missouri.
The letter from Goldstein request
ing withdrawal and President Hard
ing's subsequent compliance did not
close what Senator Spencer is pleased
to term "the incident. The brazen
insult is no less brazen because an al
most united nation came to Missouri's
aid and demanded Goldstein's elimina-
ton. The stencil of the appointment,
the motives which prompted it, the
arrogant "never apologize" state
ment from the White House and the
amazing effrontery of Spencer's at
tempts to convince the Senate that
the nomination was popular one APP
proved by the best citizens of St.
Louis are not to be CLOSED over and
relegated to the past tense by a sim
pie statement by Spencer that II pre-
sumo this closes the incident"
The incident" is not closed and
Spencer knows it.
The incident" has gone down in his
tory and from it will spring history in
the future. Coupled with the seating
of Newberry it will provide honest
Americans who believe in clean poll
tics with a great lever to pry from the
Senate a clique of the Old Guard who
are veritable barnacles on the Ship of
State. AS New went, so must the rest
of these worthless go. Chief among
these is Spencer, and Spencer's defeat
from this day forward must be the
task of every Missourian, regardless
oe politics. who has faith ia the new
era now dawn:ng.
Beat Spencer!
Today is not too early to sound the
tocsin. Remember Newberry and beat
Spencer! Remember Goldstein and
beat Spencer! Remember the part
Missouri's junior Senator played in
the failure to ratify the Treaty of
Versailles including the Covenant of
the League of Nations and beat Spen-
Ger! Remember the vulgar sniping Of
the sick man in the White House and
beat Spencer!
Read Spencer's record, study his ac-
tons, search in vain for his construe-
tive accomplishment and take a
pledge today to beat him.--Missouri

which another woman has been paid
less than five cents to make. The
feminine operative on ordinary work
gets two cents for knitting one dozen
pairs. The hosiery manufacturers
make their goods as cheaply in
America as anywhere else in the
world, and ship them abroad in large
quantities. Retail store windows at
Chemnitz, Germany, the seat of the
German hosiery industry, show Amer
Jean stockings today. They under-'
sell the German make in the heart of
Germany. Yet the pending Fordney-
McCumber tariff bill gives the Amer
lean manufacturer bonus-duty of
SOC on these stockings. He can in
crease his price to American consum-
ers accordingly, and the retailer will
double it. Does the American woman
wish to pay $1.60 more for her WOOL
en- stockings that she does now?
Ainerican-made silk goods are be-
ing exported to England now and are
underselling there English-made
silks. But some of the silk manufac-
turers have asked, and the Fordney-
McCumber bill gives bonus-duty of
55 per cent upon silks. A yard of
silk that costs So would pay a duty
of $1.10. Why should American wp-
men be asked to pay this useless tax?
Uncle Sam will get almost no revenue
from it, but the woman of America
will pay the silk manufacturers mil
lions of dollars on account of it.
The hceanest kind of lace is made
by machinery here as cheaply as any
where else in the world. But the kind
of lace which poor women wear is to
be taxed 80 perc ent.. as bonus to
the manufacturers. That means $1.80
on the dollar when the wholesaler and
retailer have added their profits. The
laborer's wife and the farmers wife
are to be taxed $50 per cent upon the
kind of lace they buy. The laces
bought by the well-to-do will pay a
lesser tax. Why should the poorest
be taxed the most? a.

| declares America "at this new era
and sends out from the White House
inspired statements that "the country
/ faces satisfying, wholesome bust
! ness revival" All of this sounds very
I, nice bat to millions of struggling
! Americans who are minus the rose
/. colored< spectacles possessed by the
! President, it would be more comfort
ing if the Executive backed up his
optimism with few cold facts.
The country has had several not
able meetings of financiers and bust
ness men in the last few weeks, among
them being the Chamber of Com
merce convention in Washington, the
Missouri State Bankers Association
at Excelsior Springs, the Kansas
Bankers Association in Excelsior
Springs, the Kansas Bankers Assoc
citation in Wichita and gathering of
certain officials of the. American
Bankers Association in the South.
None of those meetings radiated with
optimism and good cheer. It is true
that business and finance face the fu-
ture with confidence, as it behooves
all good Americans to do, but the
keynote of nearly every speech at
these gatherings was the necessity
for our cooperation with Europe. 1t
was made plain that our exports will
keep on falling, that our factory
wheels will continue to serve chiefly
as cobweb bases, that prices for our
agricultural products will remain at
low ebb until Europe is in a position
to trade with us and that such posi-
ton never will be attained until we
abandon our policy of selfish isolation
and cooperate with her to the fullest
extent. In other words-to put it
ibluntly--chaos will exist until we
make good our pledges to our allies
and enter into the League of Nations.
1t will be remembered that during
the last years of the administration
of Woodrow Wilson skilled propa-
gandists succeeded in deluding the
American people into a belief that
hard times were at hand although
now those days of 1919 and 1920 are
Spoken of as the era when we touched
the peak of prosperity. These same
propagandists-the same men who
made America believe that good
times were hard times-now are en-
gagged in the reverse of this little
game and are trying to onvince US
that hard times are good times.
Will the American people fall for
this sort of "bunk" again? We think
not. All the Republican oratory in
Congress is being untapped to achieve
this end, the executive branch of the
government from the highest official
to the humblest Republican clerk who
serves as a result of party fealty is
busily engaged in shooting of "new
era" But the talk doesn't ring true
and it will come to naught. American
people were caught mapping once but
the next time they are asked to listen
to false economists they will demand
figures and facts not buncombe and
bombast.-State Journal,

GOVERNMENTS AND THE
MONEY TRUST


After many years study of the
money question, it still seems strange
that the governments of civilized ma
tions continue in this age to allow pri-
vate individuals or corporations to
own and operate the public utilities
known as banking institutions. Many
people seem to labor under the delu-
sion that the Government Of England
owns and operates the Bank of Eng
land, exercising complete control ov-
er the business and affairs of that ina
stitution. So also of the relations be-
tween the French Government and the
Bank of France and of the German
Government and the German Imperial
Bank, or Reichsbank, of Berlin.
There are even many Americans
who look upon our own national"
banks and Federal Reserve Banks
as government institutions. 1t is i'm
possible to escape the impression that,
in this choice of names as in other
particulars, the actual private owners
of these banks have deliberately
sought to stamp this wrong impress
sion on the minds of the people, few
of whom stop to look below the sur
face. We are law-abiding peple
and hold the authority Of our govern
ment in awe. The banks undoubtedly
drive much prestige and authority, to
which they really have no claim,
from the widespread notion that they
are really government institutions.
This deceptive notion gathers some
force from the fact that the banks ex-
ercise what is declared by the Fed
eral Constitution to be distinctively
and exclusively government preroga-
tive in the coinage and issue of the
peoples money. That practically the
whole volume of the circulating me-
dunn happens to be paper rather than
metal does not alter the fact. It will
hardly be seriously commended that
the stamp of steel plate on paper is
any less coinage" than the stamp of
the mint die on gold, silver, nickel or
copper. In common acceptance, these
paper issues are money. So much so
that they are freely paid and received
everywhere as money. The banks
themselves evidently regard them as
money, or they would not have the eff
frontery to charge interest for loan
of their paper notes; even for loan
to the government itself!
None of these institutions is truly
national or Federal, being owned
and operated by private individuals
or groups of individuals, not as gov
eminent agents, but for their own
profit.
This is fundamental mistake in the
whole system. There should be no
private banks. ALL banks should be
owned and operated entirely and ex-
clusively by the national government,
as are the postal savings banks. Only
so will it be possible to prevent the
banks from being prostituted to the
uses of gamblers and spectators, to
the detriment of the producing classes.
And with truly national banking
system, we shall have truly national
currency system-one from which the
incubus of gold basis will be forev-
er removed, and with it the utterly
ficticious pretext for the exaction of
interest" for the loan of money on
good security for productive and con-
structive purposes. And loans should
not be permitted for any other pur-
poses.--Dearborn Independent.

A bride has been designed to span
the Hudson River at New York which
will be the most important gateway
to the West. Its lower deck will carry
IL railroad tracks, it's upper deck
roadway, two and half times as wide
as Fifth Avenue, will take care of 16
streams of vehicles. There will still
be room on the upper deck for four
surface car lines and two side walks.
Although the bride will cost $780,
100000 it is believed it will pay for
itself by cutting the cost of bringing
goods across the Hudson from $2.28
to so cents ton.

We resemble France in one way.
We are refusing to recognize the gov
eminent Of Russia, in an effort to
blackmail Russia into paying the
debts of the Gar.
This nation did not pay the debts
of the South after the North won.
There is no reason why Russia, hav-
ing got rid of the Gear and the grand
dukes, should pay their debts. Repub-
licans in France and America foolish
enough to lend to an autocracy, should
and probably will lose their money. 1t
will be an education to them.
Bishop Gailor, head of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church in America,
says that much nonsense is talked
about the young woman of this period
called "fappers." Girls today, says
he, are just as good as they ever
were. That is quite true. Girls now
indicate little more freely what they
feel and think than they used to-.
That's the only difference, they think
and fell the same.
The good bishop also says that pro-
hibition is farce. That is not quite
true. Whisky is still sold, unfortun-
ately, and even worse whisky than the
kind that used to be sold. And the
drug habit is growing. But there are
no longer whisky selling saloons on ev-
cry corner; four staring at each other
from four corners. You can get
whisky if you want it, but you must
look for it. 1t is no longer thrust at
you. There is no farce about that.
Another cut in wages for the rail-
road men will save $48,000,000 for
railroad owners.
There are various ways of making
money. Henry Ford illustrates one
way. He raises wages and cuts the
price of his goods. The railroads, out
of date, badly managed, stupidity COM
peting, represent the other way. They
raise the cost of tickets and freight
and cut down the wages.
This latest cut will take 8 cents an
hour from the wages of 100000 men
nearly all common laborers.

There is considerable agitation in
congress because the Department of
Justice is accused Of hiring detectives
to "trail members of congress and Of
ficials." The department knows best
why it is trailing the various official
gentlemen. But why do they howl
about it? If they attend to business
and then go home, trailing won't do
them any harm. Where do they wan
der that they fear trailing?
