PRIVILEGE RESISTS EVERY SOCIAL
ADVANCE

Whenever the workers challenge wrong, they must
expect opposition by every power at the command oil
wrong. ~ ss'
Privilege never surrenders voluntarily. 1t is nov
running to form in its opposition to the federal child
labor amendment.
In its frenzy at abors political activity it exhibits the
same fear of losing favors that have place in govern
ment based on popular rule.
The history of privilege is record OF opposition TO
social advance.
1t has contested every inch in the peoples upward
march, 1t has been silent before corruption in high
places and in the exploitation and ruin of our natural re-
sources.
II has resisted compensation laws, child labor laws,
educational proposals and acts to protect life and limb IL
strives to shackle workers to their employment ana 10
fasten compulsory arbitration on those who toll =
1t has denunced the initiative referendum ana eca
as violation of the spirit of institutions Ii took the
same position toward the proposal that United States
senators be elected by popular vote.
In not single instance has it aided the passage OF
social legislation OF advanced the of political demo-
No one need be alarmed at the frenzy and the shouts

are uniting their forces for another advance Whch PRIV

Let the workers keep in mind that every industrial
and political gain has been made despite protests they
again hear. .......
There is nothing sacred in man-made institutions.
The people made the constitution and who has the ght
to say they may not amend it!
And neither are the courts immune from intelligent,
constructive criticism They too, were created by the
people They are composed of human bengs-too often
very ordinary human beings -,
MANY learned members of the judiciary join with
criticism of the courts.
Opposition to the federal child labor amendment Is
partly fear of loss of profits but also because privilege
opposes any change that is ont beneficial to 1t.
Privilege can not twist and warp that amendment to
its advantage as is the case with other amendments
1t opposes this amendment for the further reason
that adoption would encourage the people to adjust their
organic law to the industrial and political age.
Privilege is satisfied 1t stands pat rs it always has,

1t is said that the price of farm
land in Switzerland has become much
higher than its productive value, a
condition which is not favorable to the
lowering of agricultural products.

them as recorded. In the long run
the voting machine saves much eN-
pense and delay. Il is the FIRST cost
that startles 4 city administration,
and not the upkeep.
In the opinion Of many voters elec-
tions should be held not less than six
years apart-that is presidential elee-
tions. And the more other municipal
better.
Under the present regime We are
scarcely over one election until an
other begins. and another fault lies
in the fact that public officers scarcely
become acquainted with their pro-
gram of work until they are let out
and others take their places. The
whole situation demands reform.

The Chicago Daily News is among
other metropolitan papers which are
adroitly playing up the Coolidge can
didaey in headlines, and minimizing
the LaFollette eampaign by ignoring
it.
In a recent issue of that paper we
are told in the headlines at the top of
the columns that Coolidge is with
out fear of LaFollette," and that the
Northwest is not SO keen for La
Toilette"
In an obscure headline at the bot
tom of the same page We are told
that LaFollette is starting his cam
paign. Yet newspapers claim that
their columns outside the editorial
page are dey yoted to all news withou;
discrimination or exception.
No more highly colored news has
ever occupied the snace in metropoli-
tan dailies than in this campaign. Ii
is headline news of the most deceptive
type. Anyone familiar with news
writing knows that the political head
lines of today are not to be trusted,
and if the public cannot trust political
news that is broadcasted to the Amer
lean people what news can be trusted
Bob LaFollette is a live topic in
this election, but to read the metro
politan headlines one would think that
he is in total obscurity and scarcely
worth mentioning except in terms of
reproach. The newspapers of the ma
tion elect the presidents, and if La
Toilette is defeated 1t will be to the
discredit of the American press.
Sow deception and you reap decep-
tion. If through the American press
the voters are deceived they may ex-
pect to be deceived In the administra-
ton.

Young Leopold and Loeb are now
having a new thrill. 1t will last a
long while, if the judges decision is
not terminated in twentv years by a
pardon board.
By and by the thrill will be lost in
the grind of daily prison life. 1t
should be a lesson to all youths who
are looking for thrills,
No thrill lasts. They are not in
tended to last. They excite for the
moment and then leave the individual
in a sluggish temper, acting very
much like alcohol or cocaine.
The best thrill of a mans life
comes when he has helped another
man onto safe ground. If the two
youths now in prison had turned their
attention to helping humanity. instead
of increasing is proportion of suffer
ing, they would now be free to enjoy
the thrill which is realized only In
doing good.
Weather affects every mans dispo-
sition, even the Chinese. Recently
during the Chinese uprising a truce
was declared during a rainstorm. The
Cinnamon baked at fighting in the
rain and could not be induced to con-
tinue the battle. Perhaps they are
superstitious.
The man who will not get his feet
muddy in a battle is not a good sol
der. This is probably the reason
why the Chinese are back numbers
when it comes to civilization. They
have always been an easy mark for
other less scrupulous peoples.

Urge Motorists to Let
the Wild Flower Live

A love of nature is common to all
mankind. At least the open road, the
sky, the breeze of summer, the green
of fields and woods, the murmur of a
stream bring pleasure and refresh
ment to all sorts and conditions Of
humanity.
Like much of the so-called love in
the world, however, there is tragic
element in our love of nature.
Too often the clump of wild flowers
that gives us such pleasure blooming
in field or glen, climbing rock crew
ice, or standing in Brooks edge
forever ceases to exist because we
pick too freely of its blossoms. And
when picked the wild flower is no
tably perishable. Not many kinds can
be counted upon to revive at all, once
their fresh beauty willis; and So in
stead of returning home with any of
the actual loneliness of the woods and
wayside captive, we bear away only
dead flowers that are eloquent testi-
mony to the lack of intelligence in
our passion for outdoor beauty.
Now that the automobile has made
the deepest country lane as accessi-
BILE as Main Street. there is ground
for real anxiety regarding the effect
of indiscriminate plucking of wild
flowers. Now it is unfortunately lit
orally true that the beauty of nature
is in grave danger of being perma-
nently and hopelessly impaired unless

Cement Output and
Relation to Business

Discussing output of cement In its
relation to business and labor employ.
ment, The Index, published by the
New York Trust Company, says:
Portland cement, as one of the
basic commodities to be considered In
gauging the course of business, pre-
sents an interesting exception to the
general feeling of hesitancy which has
been more or less prevalent in other
basic lines. Government statistics for
June and the first six months of this
year, compiled by the Geographical
Survey, record production for the
month exceeded only by May, and for
the period in excess of even last year,
during which the output for the year
reached it's maximum.
Shipments for June were the great.
est on record, and for the period only
slightly less than in the first six
months of 1928 This Is in rather
sharp contrast with steel, lumber, cop
per and other commodities.
THE significance of the present
data relating to cement, however, lies
in the fact that May is barometric of
the years trend for this commodity
and can be regarded as indicative Of
the volume Of the full years manufac-
ture and consumption.
This is so because usage of cement
is such that requirements must be
anticipated well In advance, and Or
dinarlly contracts for building and
road work to be carried on during
the year are we'll in hand by the end
of May.
Even IL the extraordinary output of
1923 should not be exceeded and there
should be reduction Of 10 per cent
this year, 1924 should still be year
of noteworthy activity" declares The
Index Its relation to employment
OF common labor In road construction
and of both common and skilled labor
In building and other construction al
so enables the cement industry to
shed some light on what may be ex-
pected In these fields.
