PERLEY A. BAKER
 TAKES A HAND IN
 HARVESTING LABOR

"Rey" Perley A. Baker, more familiarly known as Purely A. Faker,'' head of the Anti Saloon League, is peeved. Baker, Wheel CT and White are trying to make the league sort tHof side show for the republican party, rmaybe it would be better to say they are trying to make 1t the main show.
 Anyway, organized labor is sol idly opposed to the policies of the special interests who now seem to own and control the republican ad- ministration.
 Last Saturday evening at Logan, Ohio, the Reverend Perley devoted the greater part of his speech to an attack on organized labor, prob ably at the dictation of his politi- cal compatriots. No doubt he will now sally forth and make a sub stantial collection from the open shoppers.
 Baker seems to think he's the whole Anti-Saloon League
 He's taking in too. much terri tory. However, attacking organ ized labor has proven highly re- munerative to Nertain people dur ing the past year or two. So Per ley may as we'll get 1t while the getting is good.

Government Fails to Have Effect.


 "A casual glance shows that we have reached the time when our gov ernment fails to cope with those ele ments on which it's very life depends. Each one of the thousand problems entering into our economic life IS be- yond the comprehensoin of any one mind Even the ablest of engineers, business executives, hnanciers and scientists finds that his own know1- edge and work is merely valuable when functioning with the knowledge and work of hosts of others with whom his work is coupled
 Governor Allen of Kansas has made start to eliminate strikes l The fact that his industrial court has not eliminated strikes in the pres ent emergency should not lead to a nasty conclusion against the general scheme of things of the industrial court or board. An impartial indus l trial board, composed of capable men bent upon giving both labor and capital square deal, would doubt 1 less make mistakes, but if 1t should eliminate the interruption of labor, l the poorest paid would be still get | ting more than the best paid work | ing by the strike method. Strikes are caused by stampede in which l the men believe they can get more pay by striking This warfare has not l led to equity and equity must pre- vail if our government Is to continue. It does not lead to the greatest wealth producing conditions. It
 undermines our respect for govern l ment, and it reduces our fitness to defend ourselves against the aggres- sion of nation like Germany, should that nation grasp the meaning of the
 wastefulness of industrial disturb l ance. l "If we fail to discontinue indus | trial warfare with it's attendant l wastefulness, we shall lose leadership | in the race for commercial supremacy, which is dependent upon production, and Germany will pass us as she was destined to do before the war, when we were doing all we could to dis rupt our railroad systems by inves- 1 tigations, and our great economic interests by an attempt at unscram- bling them.
 We can eliminate the trusts from | America but we cannot get them off 1 the planet Now the unfairness of trust functioning can be eliminated | without destroying the organization
 ot men within it, which functions so
 effectively Our scheme of batting
 rail- pads and large industrial com binations~was on a par with the old
 plan of burning down the barn to l destroy the rats.
 l Interruptions of labor must cease!
 We should not interfere with the
 workers and that includes those minds | directing the workers. We must es-
 tablish a tribunal that will decide
 what is fair compensation, what is a
 fair wage for each dollar invested and | for the various services rendered."

Vermont Governor Says
 Strikes Must Be Ended

It is merely ~tc show that the capacity to pay labor has been greatly reduced both by war and by strikes, and that the leaders who will lead in the right direction are those who will use all lawful means to establish a square deal for capital and labor in each division of work
 System Complicated.
 "In. each crisis of the. past, the threatening elements were of a char acter readily sensed by anyone. At the present time the whole system has become so complicated that there is a great diversity of opinion as to what should be done to eliminate or at least reduce the inequalities of re- rnuneration for different kinds of ser vice We have devoted a great deal of attention and our best energies to scientific research, and in the applica- ton of our discoveries, but we seem to have overlooked the need for changing the scheme of the govern ment or management of our state and national affairs, to meet the new con ditions that have grown up with the advances of sceince. A democracy that depends on the intelligence of the mass was relatively simple matter from fifty to a hundred years ago, but the whole scheme of life has changed. Food is now grown in specialized parts of the country, and cities have grown up to great size without having within their borders any means for providing the mere necessities of life.
 One of the developments of the present day is the advance of special ization in all lines. Specialization confines the energies of each one to a narrow activity, and divided up the work to such an extent that a very elaborate system for the interchange of products Is necessary.

A Good Deterrent.

A BOUT once each year the United States army
n teaches a terrible object lesson at Aberdeen,
Nd The instruments of death which will be used
in the next are tested and demonstrated to the
public-and every exhibition reveals newly designed
machines which have revolutonized certain branches
of fighting. The object OF these annual affairs is
not to frighten the people of the world-the United
States has no reason to wish to frghten anybody.
But they may we'll that unntended purpose.
The last great war was horrible affair.
Methods of killing men undreamed-of before were
in everyday From 1914 on, airplanes, poison
gas, tanks and dozen other monsters of death
developed with terrible effectiveness. But
anything used in the last war, it is reasonable to
believe. will be almost insignificant a childs
toy compared with some of the instruments which
will win battles when the nations go down the red
road again.
This years exhibition at Aberdeen was not
particularly sensational 1t merely showed certain
sharp advances in the efficiency of instruments al
ready known and approved by military experts.
For instance there was a sixteen-inch gun which
could shoot through an eighteen-inch steel target
twenty-sx miles away-somewhat of improve
ment over the big gun with which the Germans
shelied Paris. The distance is not great. Of
course but the effectiveness has been increased 100
per cent
The years ordnance work has been devoted
to the perfection of minute details-and from a
study of details, ideas are gained for other ma
chimes. Next year, perhaps there will be some
sensations at Aberdeen Greater accuracy and
greater power for existing machinery seem to
have been the ntent-and the army experts GER
tainy have succeeded in securing equipment capable
of killing and destroying more property
from greater distance in less time
Military officials have fair idea Of what the
next war will be like. They have further de-
lusons about the glory and trappngs of war.
They know that it will be still more bloody, still
more destructive, still ruthless in the future
than has been the case in the past Once in a
while they pull back the curtains trihe so the
public. who. after all, must fight the battles, can
see something OF what it will be like. But the
more terrible instruments kept concealed. The
sodicry will know about them only when they face
them across miles of smoky hill and field and river
and village-ony when the -four horsemen" come
riding.
But we are grateful for just the glimpse into
the future afforded at Aberdeen. 1t is sufficiently
horrible dssuade any group OF statesmen from
sending the youth OF nation to battle while any
other honorable of settling differences re-
mains open.

A Million a Year.

THIRTY-THREE Americans this year paid
taxes milon-d dollar incomes These men,
naturally, will be objects OF good deal of jealousy
and envy. Philosophy offers scant consolation to
the average citizen who is called upon to paw taxes
only thousand or so. There is room. of course,
for bitter reflection
But in connection with these incomes there
is one thought OF great comfort They were
earned in the United States by Americans with
American ability and American resourcefulness
Few indeed Of these thirty-threc million dollar
incomes came as the result OF luck and fewer
still as the result of inheritance The average
possessor was once poor with most of the
world against him. The only gold mine he pos
sessed was his own innate genius and grit What
he has accomplished others can do
To the average European such an income tax
report might furnish food for revolutionary discon-
tent. 1t would mean that an enormous amount
OF power vested in the hands OF few men
firmly intrenched that an ordinary individual
would have chance in conflict with them
For the average European has no prospect of Sc
curing enough property to yield him an income of
more than 100000 year. The gates are locked
and barred in front OF him. Not even the revou-
tionary aftermath OF the world war has changed
this condition apPreciably.
To the average American, however the re-
port means merely goal toward which he can
progress and struggle For he in contrast to his
Old World brother. has opportunity to rival
the multi-millonare. 1t depends entirely on his
courage, his own willingness to work hard
and his own ability. The gates are barred to no
man who wishes to secure property worth
ST 100000

selves would be some statistics showing how many

ago. apd how many OF them were poor farmer boys
who went without bed and meals during their first
years in the city because they had no money to
pay for them
America is in danger of an aristocracy Of
wealth long as it is possible for everyone to at
tain wealth When this is longer possible there
will be occasion for real alarm. There is nothing
in a millionaire to frighten anyone so long as
Neighbor Smith and Neighbor Jones may become
mlionares He will be frightful figure indeed
when Jones and Smith realize that they have no
prospect of attaining the position.
We would not object to 100 or 1000 men with
81 100000 incomes long ourselves and our
friends may figure in the same report few years
hence.
