PUNCHING NOSE OF
THE WAGE FARMERS

"If man says he'll punch my fig
urative or literal nose | most assur-
edly will not patronize that man if he
is in business" was the way one man
expressed his opinion of a merchant
who had made disparaging remarks
regarding the wage earners. Yet
hundreds of workingmen and their
families are doing that very thing
every day. They take their hard
earned dollars and toss them across
the counter to merchants who take
great pleasure in punching the toll
er's figurative nose every time he
tries to increase or even retain his
present wage. Why do they do it :?
Pure thoughtlessness and careless
ness. They don't take time to find
out who are their friends or who are
their enemies. The quickest and
safest plan is to read the ads in the
Newark Leader. Then confine all
purchases to these friendly advertis-
erS.

THE RIGHT TO WORK

In an eastern city a man poisoned
himself and passed away before med
ical assistance could do anything for
him. Scanty information points to
the fact that he was worried because
he could ont secure employment. For
that reason there was no wood in the
house, there was no coal, clothing for
his wife and children was scanty, and
food was the same.
We are at the stage now where we
speak about the problem OF unem-
ployment as though we were partic-
ipating in some academic discussion.
1t has ceased to cause US to shud-
der as though we were in the presence
of a thing that should have no place
IN this young country. We even
speak OF men as though they didn't
want to work, and intimate that their
troubles are the result of their own
indifference. Allow for all the ex-
ceptions, and the fact remains to face
US that the average man does want
to Work-he does want to provide for
those who are dependent on him-he
does want to feel that he is paying
his way.
These cases that come to the sur
face in the tragic light of an empt
bottle of poison at the side of a man
who has in him the possibilities of a
bread-winner are not to be passed
over lightly. They are horrible blots
ION our system of doing things; thf
ARE a reflection on our methods that
pie wealth high here and spread pow
seIty thick there.

DINNER PAIL EPICS
(By BILL LLOYD

Low-brows are writing to beseech
that | prepare my keynote speech,
since this is now the open season
when tongues run loose without much
reason, and lies and perjury is rife, to
bolster up the party's life, when man.
tie, halo, wings and crown are stuck
upon some party clown, and folks
near faint a-readin' papers with long
reports OF keynote caperS.
Since Pm as honest as my face and
suffer from a kronic case of spilling
out the whole darned truth, I'll have
to write without no ruth. Now those
what don't like the truth at all, can
take their cap and leave the hall.
Since now the platform l have got
ten, I'll say the G. o. P. is rotten, and
Democrats is just the same, since only
difference is the name. The only diff
ference who can doubt? is one is in;
the other out. The "outs" are never
any Stacker in charging that the
'ins" is blacker So pot and kettle
each charge smut, until the voter
most goes nut,-like monkeys in the
zoo one sees, each hunting of the
others fleas. When they throw mud
it is, in sooth, the one rare time they
tell the truth.
In place of these sham battle
shows, the kinda party l propose is
one that works for workers good and
treats the farmer as it should, party
that amt lost its soul by catering to
Wall Streets goal, a party that amt
soaked in oil, but understands the
shop and soil, and don't love those
who've got by stealth full measure of
the nations wealth, party that don't
wear silk soxes, nor serenade deposit
boxes.

NOT UNEXPECTED

President Coolidges action in We
toing the postal pay bill, providing
for increase in the salaries of hun
dreds of thousands of underpaid pos.
tai employees, was not in any way un-
expected.
The man who publicly announced q
few weeks ago that eve owe no bonus
to the able bodied veterans"-whc
merely risked life and limb for then
country-could hardly be expected tc
favor living wage for the postal
workers.
AS a matter of fact, it is rather
surprising that he didn't go further.
Why didn't he incorporate in his
veto message a suggestion that postal
salaries be reduced to $50 a month
the rate of pay received by the veter-
ans during the war?

R. R. Power Wasted
Many Engines Idle

Atlantic City-Between two and
three billion dollars worth of locomo-
tive power is annually lost in this
country and experts will devise meth
DDS to utilize this waste, it was an
nounced at the meeting of the Amer
ican railway association.
Railroad executives, it was stated
are surprised that the locomotives of
the combined railroads of the country
are operated in revenue service on an
average less than eight hours day.
Railroad employees made this iden-
tical point when they were urging the
eight-hour movement that eliminated
in the Adamson law. At that time
the employees insisted trains should be
speeded up, and that this would bene-
fit the community through quicker
freight deliveries.

BUREAU SHAKEN UP

1t is stated that Attorney General
Stone, successor Of Daugherty, has
shaken up the secret service branch
of that department. All the "honor-
ary agents" appointed by Daugherty
and Burns have been dropped, it is
stated. These agents are well-known
business men who were given a badge
and entitled to certain privileges in
return for information they were
alleged to place at the disposal of
the department. Many of the old
time "dicks" have been replaced by
law school graduates.

WHAT'S AN INJUNCTION?

An injunction is law that is founc
on no statute book.
A law that has never been voted or
by any set of legislators.
A law that has never been signec
by any governor or president.
A law that exists without the con.
sent of the people.
A law that came into being as the
law of one man.
An injunction is law made by &
judge, and its penalties are fixed by
the same Judge; and the offenders are
tried before the same Judge; and the
verdict is rendered by a jury of one
mantle same Judge; and the sen
tence is pronounced by the same
Judge.
That is an injunction.

Canadian Business
Rejects Sales Tax

was declared Economically unsound"
by Dominion business men at the an
nual convention of the Canadian man.
ufacturers' association in this city.
The tax was recently reduced from
6 to per cent. 1t was declared that
the tax has raised the cost of living
in Canada, has pyramided costs to
manufacturers and placed heavy
handicap on them.
The sales tax has been strongly
urged in the United States, and the
Dominion of Canada was cited by
sales tax enthusiasts as an example
of the benefits that follow this legis-
lation.

POOR OUTLOOK FOR FARMERS

Hopes for the farmer which rest on
the assumption that Europe may be
induced to buy more American food
stuffs at higher prices are doomed to
disappointment, according to the In
stitute of Economics which has just
concluded a survey of the probable
European demand for agricultural
products.
"The limited European market
which now confronts the American
farmer" says the Institute "is the re-
suit of conditions which were devel-
oping even before the war. About
the turn of the century American ag-
ricultural exports began to decline.
European countries were increasing
their own production Of foodstuffs,
and the competition Of Canada, South
America, South Africa and Australia
for the European markets was in
growth of our own domestic market
was lessening our eXportable surplus.
The great war reversed this cur
rent for a time. In response to the
increased demand food production was
greatly increased. Prices were high
and unprecedented prosperity came to
our farmers resulting in the disas-
trous land boom with which all are
familiar. Today the pre-war trend of
decreasing exports has been renewed.
The competition of rival producing
areas is keener than ever before. The
whole economic tide is against an in
crease of European demands and high
prices for American foodstuffs in the
immediate future"
The institute concludes that the So
luton of the farmers ills must there
fore be sought in internal adjust
ments to a changed world situation.
