WASHINGTON, Nov. Coon
slider labor in the new political move
ment. Heretofore politicians have
looked upon the so-called Labor Vote
as a joke. They were right. There
was no such animal. Workers were
all split up as Democrats, Republic
ans and Socialists. For religious and
other reasons there could be no po-
htical solidarity of the working class
in the Socialist party. So that party
got nowhere.
The drive Of the open Shop" or
American Plan" employees since the
war to break up the unions, began to
develop a labor solidarity that didn't
exist before. When the banker group
in control of the railroads started
their open-shop campaign against the
railway unions other than the four
brotherhoods, they not only forced
solidarity of the railway workers by
driving the brotherhOods to support
of the other railway unions, but they
drove practically all Of the railway
unions in a body into politics. Their
leaders were an important part Of the
group that organized the Conference
for Progressive Political Action" No
other influence contributed moro to
the defeat Of POmerene in Ohio; and
they got in their work in Indiana,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michi-
gan and many other States in the last
election.

Higher Education

TNHE growing demand for education is shown by the
/ rapid growth in high school attendance in Indian
apolis. Nineteen per cent of the total public school
enrolment is represented by high school STUDENTS this
year against only per cent in 1900. During that
period the number Of public school pupils has in
creased less than 100 per cent, while high school en-
rollment has increased almost 400 per cent.
Formerly there a marked tendency on the part
of many to sheer at any education beyond a rudi-
mentary knowledge of the three Rs Fortunately that
idea has become extinct and the general public is real
izing more and more the true value of education Edu-
cational ideals greatly in recent years and
the modern theory that every member of society should
receive as broad an education possible longer

THE only way to develop Alaska, -

shall organize definitely in every State

Where the two great political parties
fail to nominate a wet in a district,
we shall put up our own independent

THINKS ROD SPARED TOO MUCH

To the Editor Of the Times:
Judging from the rising generation OF today. one
would conclude that most parents had taken stand
with Mrs. R c. T Perkins in regard to the punishment
of children.
Had the rod not been spared quite much, there
would be less for the detention homes and such in
sttutions. While do not believe IN brutal punishment
and sensible parent is going to administer such
do believe, and have It proven in many cases,
that IN order to have obedIent children and children
that reverence their parents after they up,
they must be chastised. I have in mind children that
were petted and humored all their lives.
The trouble with many parents Of today Is that
they only punish when they get angry and then Of
reason. All brutal punishment is wrong
The Apostle Paul says, Proper Christening yields
its peaceable fruits Of righteousness"
It will not children to e If done in the proper
spirit and there is not nearly much danger Of n1ur-
ing the chd's health by punishment letting them
go until both health and character are injured.
Mrs. Perkins speaks Of a time when men had right
to beat their wives I do not, could not approve OF
that but I have seen some wives do believe would
have been greatly benefited had they had few gentle
taps. MRS. W. B. SCHRETBER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-If Con

behind the Elks' Club here, as a

Mrs. Davis's dog. Mrs. Davis
went out shopping to-day, leaving
The two animals alone in the

them dead in the kitchen, gas
flowing from a burner. Pete is
believed to have turned it on to
kill Fido, needless of his own fate.
