The truth I" is that fitness for
college does not go with wealth or
social status. Capacity to profit by
what colleges offer varies like stat

all who are teachable, and not to

strength at Washington. It joined
with Wall street in the fight on La
Toilette in Wisconsin. 1t has never
co-operated with the progressives at
the nations capital in efforts to
bring material relief to the people by
the passage Of helpful social legisla-
tion. It is on the side Of reaction and
special privilege. It is charged that
it gets the greater portion Of it's
money from the forces that are fleec-
ing the masses. Such partnership
is a menace to the people, and in the
end it will be bad for prohibition.
The Anti-Saloon league is today in
relatively the same position as the
liquor interests were before the days
of prohibition. They bartered and
traded with the special interests to
save their business. A goodly num-
Der Of American people who were not
prohibitionists voted against the
saloon in the hope that it would re-
move the liquor interests from politics
and thus make it easier to enact
popular legislation.
Since prohibition it seems more diff
ficult than ever to get a popular bill
through congress. Indeed, in many
respects, the situation is less favor
able than. formerly. Reaction is
more marked and the forces Of privi-
lege are more brazen and bold. It is
not the fault Of prohibition so much
as it is Of the unholy alliance the
Anti-Saloon league has made with the
forces Of greed and plunder.
1t should not be necessary for any
organization, much less an organiza-
tion Of such moral pretensions as the
Anti-Saloon league, to make a despic-
able trade or deal with government
official to obtain the enforcement Of
law. Any school boy knows that the
constitution follows the flag. It was
unlawful from the beginning to sell
boqze on ships carrying the Stars and
Stripes and claiming the protection OF
the American government, just as un-
lawful as it is for a bootlegger to
dispose of his poisonous concoction. 1t
should not have required "deal'
or trade to compel the attorney gen.
eral to enforce the law. There were
other ways to compel him to do his
duty, and one Of them was to assist
in impeaching him. This, of course,
the Anti-Saloon league would not do.
It would mean the loss of meal
ticket.

KELLOGG and POTATOES
thu Minnesot

(From tho Minnesota Daily Starr
Senator. Kellogg's attempt to bag
the farmer vote by pretending tenn
porarily to drop his election drive in
order to obtain shipping facilities
for the potato growers is so trans
parently, an eleventh hour political
move that it will fool no one. )
The remedy: attempted by Senator
Kellogg for: a critical situation is SO
inadequate that it is pitiful. He is
frantically wiring the government in
Washington to bring pressure on the
railroad companies to furnish cars.
The present troubles of the potato
growers go a great deal deeper than
a mere shortage of cars. Potatoes are
selling as low as 10 cents bushel,
whereas they sold as high as $3.50
a bushel three or four years ago. If
Senator Kellogg by any chance
should get all the sidings on the To-
cal lines covered with cars, it would
not raise the price of potatoes to a.
point that would represent the, cost
Of production.
It is characteristic of Mr.. Kellogg
that he is doing nothing in the pres
ent crisis toward getting the potato
growers price for their potatoes
that will save them serious losses.
He has never done anything for the
farmers in this vital particular. Such
action would interfere with the prof.
it's of middle,.:en of various sorts,
SPECTATORS, gamblers, monopolists
and transportation companies, whose
combined attempts to gouge the far
mers have produced the present po-
tato crisis.
Mr.. Kellogg finds it easier to pick
out the one factor in the present
situation which can be handled with
out hurting any of the interests that
enrich themselves by plucking the
farmers. In fact, now that the price
of potatoes has been depressed to
it's lowest possible point, cars, and
plenty of them, will be distinct
help to these interests to gather in
the crops they have taken from the
farmers.

BOOZE FOR SHIP SUBSIDY.

Trading booze on the high seas for
ship subsidy. That's the order of
the day at Washington. The admin
istration wants to put over the big
subsidy bill at the short session fol-
lowing the elections. 1t has not had
the votes. It may now have them,
that is if the Anti-saloon league can
deliver the "dry' congressman.
It took the attorney general long
time to decide whether or not it was
unlawful to sell Intoxicating liquors
on ships under American registry.
He has now concluded that it is I'M
lawful and the order. has gone out
to stop the sale of booze thereon.
American ship owners declare tina:
they can not compete with foreign
ships unless they are permitted to
furnish passengers with intoxicating
liquors. That is what they have been
saying all along, but they. are not so
despondent over the Daugherty ruling
now as they formerly were. A new
hope has come to them.
The clever and astute politicians
who direct the affairs of the Anti
Saloon league, according to news re-
ports, will throw their support to the
iniquitous ship subsidy bill in return
for the order banishing intoxicating
liquors from American ships. That s
real log-rolling. It is mixture OF a
little bit Of heaven with good bit Of
hell. It is an immoral barter. If it
were personal trade it would not be
countenanced by Christian gentlemen.
The Anti-saloon league, possessed
of it's one idea and that is to save
prohibition, has shown a disposition
to train with the forces of greed and
plumber to maintain it's power and

set of working rules that assure
protection to all persons, regardless
of their station in life.
Under government by injunction
workers are subject to the moods,
whims, caprice and passions of sim
gle individual who smashes these
rules, and who is as unfettered as a
prairie jack-rabbit.
The injunction judge sets up one
man government. He revives the dis:
carded theory of the divine rights of
kings.
Under government by law this judge
is powerless to vent his prejudices and
his private opinions. He is guided by
the constitution and by the law-the
working rules-which have been
passed by the lawmaking branch and
approved by the executive.
Under government by injunction the
judge is lawmaker, law Interpreter and
law enforcer. He throws aside the
constitution, denies free speech, free
press and popular assemblage, and
jaiIs men without trial by jury.
The labor injunction is the greatest
menace to constitutional government
that has yet been devised. It is doub'
ly dangerous because it is used and
defended by alleged friends of the
constitution.
No patriot can exclude the labor
injunction judge from the list Of enc
mics of the constitution.
Honesty and truth are Knocked when
men talk of defending the constitu-
tion while they ignore-and even ap-
.plaud-government by injunction.
Let labor emphasize this point when
these constitution defenders are
abroad in the. land.
Pin them down to facts.
Force them to publicly explain how
the labor injunction process can be
justified in a country that is pledged

RIGHT TO STRIKE SACRED.

The right to strike against the pri-
vate owners Of railroads is sacred.
Men cannot be forced to work unless
we repeal the XIII Amendment and
maintain a standing army Of millions
to enforce peonage. Laborers have a
right to strike and to peacefully
picket. They cannot resort to VIC.
lence against person or property.
Hence, the strenuous effort of union
leaders to prevent all violence and of
some corporation agents to provoke
strikers to acts of violence.-Walter
Clark, chief justice Of the North Caro-
lima supreme court.

INJUNCTION WEAKENs LAW.

Another organization has been

Each member must pledge to main
tain the fundamental principles of the
federal organic act.
Will the members of the new organ
ization do this without playing ia
vorites? And if they do, how can they
avoid condemning the labor injunc-

Will the sponsors for the new or
ganization have the courage to re-
mind injunction judges that this gov
ernment consists Of three separate and
distinct branches-law making, exec
utivc and judiciary-and that no
branch must encroach on another!
Will they notify injunction judges
that under the constitution workers
have the right to strike, and that
when workers are charged with BE-
ing parties to a conspiracy this is a
matter for the executive branch of
the government and not for the iu-
dicial branchg
Will they declare that an attorney
general or federal judge who vio-
lates one single guarantee Of the con-
stitution should be. thrown out of Of

Will this new organization adopt a
uniform policy toward all constitution
wreckers, or will it ignore the anarch.
ist in high places while it serves big
business by opposing progressive leg
islation on the plea that it is Gun
American?'
This is the usual system Of profes.

self?
Secretary Weeks, who is one of
the chief |spokesmen for the admin
istration, recently said that. "the
legislative branch of our national
government probably never has been
at lower ebh than it is today
Representative Wood, himself, who
is the chairman of the Republican
congressional committee, gave his
view on the floor of the house on
Nov. II, when Mr.. Wood said: II

out the land. I am only speaking
the truth when I say the eople are
giving the congress hell. They are

propounded relating to the city as .
whole the five commissioners wero
silent as clans. None could answer.
None knew. 1t was beyond him. He
had been too busy with his own de.
partment to pay any attention to the
others.
What comes out of this perversion
of commission government? Many
evils, many indeed. There is no check
to departmental extravaganza: No
commissioner can dispute it because
his own position is not invulnerable.
When the time comes to fix the an
nual budget every evil Of the old
aldermanic system is introduced with
it pernicious trading and log rolling
at the expense of one or more de-
partments to help another, and to the
detriment Of the city and tax payers.
1t is every department head for him
self and the city takes the hindmost. ,
The charter contemplated no such
conduct by the commissioners in the
management OF the city or it's several
divisions and departments. A big
risk was taken when the old boards
and commissions were abolished
under the new charter. It never was
intended that one man should sup
plant the board Of public works. If
the spirit of the charter prevailed the
five commissioners would sit regu-
larly in place of the old water and
light board.e They would determine
water and light policies and put it
up to the director OF the division of
public utilities to carry them out.
That would be equally true Of public
works, public safety and public well
fare.
Because the spirit Of the charter is
largely ignored by the commissioners
the present form of government does
not satisfy. There is loss in effect
ency. There is little if any check Oh
expenditures. There is more or less
waste and extravaganza. There is no
city leadership. There's ship with
a full crew, but without captain or
rudder. We are not getting as was
promised, "a hundred cents worth
of government for a dollar in taxes
paid.''
Had the charter contemplated the
obtaining method of administration
provision would have been made
therein for the election by the people
of the person to head each division
Of the city government and not leave
it to the council to make the designa-
tion. The fact that the commissioners
have the right and the power under
the charter to shift commissions from
one. division to another at any time
makes all the commissioners re-
sponsible for the proper conduct OF
every division and department.. They
can not escape that responsibility.
In as much as the commissioners
have failed to live up to the spirit of
the charter as outlined herein would
it not be timely to propose to the
people an amendment that would
make it mandatory upon them to
work together within each Of the five
city divisions and to hold the com
missioners responsible and liable for
the conduct Of each department?
It seems to The Labor World that
this is fundamental. We may expect
annual increases in the tax levy and
frequent bond issues just so long as
the five-little- government idea pre-
walls at the city hall. "Buck pass
ing' will continue to be the order
until the commissioners are made to
feel and know that they are to be
held accountable to the people for
the Management of every department
Of city government.

fourth inch above the top of the plates.
Paraffin covers were made for the
cells. The majority of covers in use
consist of one long cover for each row
of cells. The paraffin was poured into
a wooden mold or through about 1Rx
1914 inches, forming a piece about N
inch thick. While the cover was still
warm it was removed from the mold and
placed on top of the row of cells, where
it was pressed down and conformed to
the tops of the Jars and lead links. In
the center above each jar. a considerable
depression was made and a small hole
made for gases to escape. This method
gives a convex surface to the under
side of the cover, so that the spray
forming when the cell is charging col
lects on the cover and forms droplets
which are returned to the electrolyte.
As would be expected, the covers have
reduced the evaporation greatly in adj
dition to keeping dust out Of the cells.
