Why should government officials
be authorized to 20 into the home
of the humblest railroad section en-
ploye and not, for instance, into the
white house?
But the section employe accepted
certain moral obligations to the pub
lie when he took his iob,' said the
oily wages bylaw advocate.
The section employe did nothing Of
the kind. The morality he and his
fellow workers know is that they
and their families will be ground to
bits by a dividend-hungry corpora
tion if they fail to unite.
To talk Of the workers moral OBJ
legations" while the public is blind
to its duties as citizens is to apply
a logic used only by patriots Of the
thinnest veneer
1t is impossible for a wages-by-
law advocate to be a patriot in the
real sense. He may excel in lip
service, but no man is capable Of
grasping the essence of American
liberty and equality who favors such
class legislation, such serf pro-
posal as claiming workers to their
jobs.
Inns up service patriot would drive
the American ideal from the heart
and soul of every working man and
woman. He talks of the constitu-
tiOn and liberty, but what he wants
Is race of serfs, who will not in
terfere with his profits. To him
government is an invention intended
to protect dollars. 1t has no other
possibility.
He would strangle liberty, deaden
the public conscience and make it a
crime for workers to strike.
These are the men who pose as
patriots, and while advocating their
wicked plan to chain workers to
their Jobs they make hollow protest
against "those who would create
classes in our country"

mitted in thy name"

CANT STRIKE" ADVOCATES
IN REVOLUTIONARY CAMP

If commissions can set workers
wages, and hold labor to its task by
the power of government, why not
probe the needs of professional men
and fix their incomes?
On what theory of the most primi-
tive justice can wages-by-law advo-
Gates defend their plan that handcuff
Legislation shall only apply to wage
earners?
1t seems incredible that these pa
triots, these 100 per cent Ameri-
cans" and haters of foreign ideas in
government would favor the import
ed theory that working men and
women are apart from the blue blood
of traders and money lenders.
Do these wages-by advocates
want to destroy the American ideal
of equality? Do they realize what
it means to have a nation lose its
soul?
Do they want to establish new the
ories of government? Do they want
to revise the Declaration of lnde-
pendence?
These men must either declare for
serfdOm or they must favor the wild
est extension OF their WageS-by-laW
system. They are now nibbling at
the revolutionists theory. Logically
they belong in that camp.
To be consistent they must apply
their theory to lawmakers and
judges. None will say that the in
tellects of these professionals are
uniform. Why not probe the home
life of every lawmaker and judge
and notify their wives of the num-
Der of hose and undergarments per
annum they may have.
What objection can there be to this
procedure? Surely, the advocates of
compulsory arbitration and handcuff
laws do not believe there are classes
in this country!
Why should the wants and aspira-
tions of workers, and none others,
be card indexed by commissions that
have the power to enforce their or

School Notes

The incoming Freshman class,
which made its debut about the build
ing on Monday, numbers forty-five.
Those who entered the school at the
beginning of the second semester are:
Emerson Archer, Dale Richard, Carl

Hicks, Clayton kennett, Archie Cas-
well, James Carter, William WILDER,
Thomas Wyllys, Keith Lyon, Thomas

Mitchell. The influx of SO many from
the Washington school nccessitatcs
the seating Of most of the new ar
rivals in the balcony Of the assembly
room.
The class as whole is not at all
unusual either in appearance or in
size. 1t contains no freaks nor curios.
Not one, from the largest down to the
class midget, William Randcls, has as
yet shown any particular cockiness
nor has anyone uncorked that exuber-
ance Of youth SO peculiar to high
school Freshmen A certain restrain
ing timidity has ovcrshadowed all
the activities Of the class, which has
yet to show its merits and demcrits.
Cecil Wallis. Clair Penny and
Ellony lngersoll completed their high
school courses with the end of the
semester and will probably be in at
tendance at the college next semester.
During examination week the cook
ing classes, under the direction Of
Miss Kemple rendered two delightful
dinners. The planning and serving
of these counted as part Of the final
examination.
The first, given on Tuesday even
ing, was given to the faculty Of the
school a four course dinner was
catered and served by the class After
the banquet, a track meet was held
i'm the gymnasium and, for once, the
faculty turned loose. The second, on
the following evening, was given in
honor Of the school board and their
wives. a very pretty color scheme
i'm red and white was carried out and
the light was furnished by candles.
Perhaps the most unusual feature of
this affair was the prettily decorated
menu cards with the recipe for each
of the various dishes served.
Both affairs were carried out with
great credit to the planners.

PRACTICAL HELP BEING
 EXTENDED PROSPEcTORS

Practical aid is being extended to prospectors in Interior Alaska by the experiment station of the Bureau Of Mines at Fairbanks according to recent statement issued by the Bureau covering its activities in that line. It is the aim, it was stated, of John Davis superintendent of the Alaska station, to bring about the closest possible re- lations between his station and men engaged in looking for new mineral deposits.
 The Bureau in statement men toned above, said:
 'sThe Bureau of Mines at its eXperi- ment station at Fairbanksc, Alaska, is endeavoring to assist in the mineral development of Alaska by encouraging prospectors to send to the station the samples which may be, thought to con tain metallic value. These samples are examined and the prospectors inform ed as to what they are and whether they contain metaallic or other values to justify their being assayed or an- alyzed. If those submitting the sam ples have an assay or an analysis made, charge is made for the work.
