competition is too keen and don't
attempt 1t.
Seems like the playwrights
have given the movies the right
Of way for fade-outs and kilO-
meter kisses.
On the stage the l0ve-mahing
is being done by clever repartee
and clinches that seem to be de-
cidedly pasSee.
/ like to see a young pair I'm
love with each other, and all that,
but amt got much use for these
birds that sit with their arm
around a girl i'm a movie, or q
dame that will lean her head on
his shoulder while they watch the
show.
Hand-holding on the bus has
always been a cute thing, but
when a couple fall into each
others arms and kiss every time
we come to low bridge, that's
putting it on too thick, / think.
IN PUBLIC EYE.
They may be able to forget the
world, but they are by no means
by fhe world forged pr even
overlooked when they pull that
Romeo and Juliet stuff.
Far be it for me to censor any
body, and goodness knows was
once young and giddy myself, and
nobody likes to see sWeethearts
that amt ashamed to let the
world know they are I'm love with
each other, but love is lOveIiest
at its light, gay moments.
The sudden little kiss, a mere
peck at the cheek. The squeeze
of the hand, tiny little quick
hug in a shady spot, nobody could
be so hard-bOiled as to condemn
and censor that.
But when this love stuff be-
comes a dull, deadly determined
battle of the eyes, and a kiss is a
long drawn-out, disgusting epf-
sode, it's time somebody blew a
whistle or rang a bell to remind
these love birds that public pet
ting parties are not permitted.
So that's that!

improvements that are so badly
needed such as water and sewers.
Payne claims it Is costing too much
TO operate the county under the
present form of government. He
cited the condition at the head
quarters Of the health department
in the rear Of the court house as
most disgraceful. He claims it Is
the appointive offices of the coun-
ty where the most waste lies.
The other three candidates, Hugh
E. Reid, Charles T. Jesse, and e.
w. Jordan, whom Mr.. Payne said

DRINK WATER AT CEREMONY
Members of Royal Family and Off
cials Participate in Program
at Bangkok.

Twice a year a water-drinking cere-
mony takes place in the principal tenn
pie near the royal palace in Bangkok,
Siam. On this occasion all the men,
bers Of the royal family, as well as
the military and civil officials, gather
in the temple, and each in turn pre-
Sents himself before the king, making
a profound obeisance, falling on his
knees, and then drinking of the water
contained in the golden jar, in which
are soaked spear-heads and other in
struments Of war, and sprinkling it
on his forehead.
This Is the great oath day, and for
merly the officials on taking the oath
were paid the next six months salary
in lump sum, says the Detroit News.
The officials who live far from Bang
kok, and cannot personally present
themselves before the royal presence,
gather in the office Of the chief func-
tionary Of the locality, where the holy
water has been sent from Bangkok,
and 60 through a similar process of
drinking and sprinkling. 1t Is said
that Of late years some of the foreign
employees have been taking part in
the function, to testify their loyalty
to the Siamese monarch.

Great Northern Ry.
Takes Own Medicine
(By Federated Pressl

St. Paul-Union railway shopmen
here have succeeded in turning the in
junction weapon against the Great
Northern railway and it's strikebreak-
ing company union.
A temporary order issued by Judge
John B. Sanborn, Ramsey county dis
trict court, restrains the road and its
"union," the Great Northern Associ-
alton of Shopcrafts Employees, from
any attempts to "interfere, threaten,
coerce, OF compel" members of the
Federated Shopcrafts union to join
the company organization.
The order was issued on the
strength of a strike settlement be-
tween the railroad and the Federated
Shopcrafts group in January, 1923,
in which the company agreed to take
back the men in order Of seniority,
and give them the right to join any
union they chose without interference.
A short time after the men resumed
work, according to Thomas V. Sulli-
van, who represented the Federated
Shopcrafts' union in court, the rail
way company started the organiza-
ton, a clause which forbade the or
ganization to strike. Dues for the
union were taken out of the pay of
members.
After the company union had been
in existence for short time, shop en-
ployes charge, attempts were made to
force them to join it under penalty of
losing their jobs.

"GO THOU AND DO LIKEWISE"

Magnus Johnson, United States
Senator-elect from Minnesota, offers
the soundest kind of advice to white
collar workers who complain because
common labor is getting better pay
than they do.
Johnson's advice is summed up by
eco and do likewise" In answer to
an inquiry from a Chicago neWspa-
per he urged workers in all trades and
professions to take a leaf from the
book Of organized labor and organize
to better their. condition as workers
in many trades have done. He said:
"There is much resentment, | find,
amongst the poorly paid store clerks,
the small professional man and the
unsuccessful merchant expressed in
these words: '"The common laborer
gets more than Ido." In other words
the laborer of 1923, due to his persis-
tent efforts to reach a well defined
goal if the American standard of liv-
ing has succeeded in getting his one
dollar per hour, whereas the clerk
and the professional man has not been
able to do as well. J
"Now here is my theory: Instead of
the clerk and the professional man
finding fault with the carpenter and
the brick mason for his wages and
thus joining the hue and cry of or
ganized capital let them go and DO
likewise; let them work hand in hand
with organized labor to get their own
incomes increased rather than try to
get Labor reduced.
"Let all workers stick together the
white collar worker in the office and
the grain worker in the professions
and work hand in hand with organized
carpenters and bricklayers to raise
the wages of all. Capital is always
sure of its own, regardless of how
high wages may go. 1t means only
fairer division of the products of
labor"
There is nothing new in Johnson's
advice but it is just as good now as
when it was first given. The unor-
ganized worker may complain until
Doomsday but it will not get him any
where. His only salvation is in or
ganization. The more this is empha-
sized the better off his chances of
his acting instead of merely talking.
And for stressing this truth and again
bringing it before the public Mime
sota's new Senator-elect deserves the
thanks of organized labor.-Interna-
tional Steam Engineer.
