Organized labor should patronize
organized labor. The only way to do
this is to buy no goods unless they
bear the union label.

FIGHT GOES ON
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, has
prepared a pamphlet urging the
adoption of the pending child-labor
amendment to the constitution, which
will be distributed to members of all
affiliated unions.
From the negative action taken In
a majority of states, it is evident that
the amendment will have no chance
of adoption until new legislatures
holding different views have been
elected in sufficient number of
states to change the present status.
This cannot occur for two years, and
possibly four
The principal results in child-labor
reform have been attained by
strengthening of state laws and
through their more rigid enforce
ment. The effort in the future, we
believe, must lie in popular educa.
ton. The people as whole must be
made to realize the social results of
child labor, until popular demand
compels their legislatures to either
ratify the national Amendment OF
enact measures equally effective.
A portion of the fight on the part
of organized labor for the resuscita-
tion of the child labor amendment
should be directed to the correction
of popular errors as to the scope of
the provisions sought to be injected
into the fundamental law of the ma
ton. While the primary opposition
to the amendment came from selfish
employers, who find it profitable to
exploit child labor, some really sin
cere opposition came for the popular
belief that the measure would prevent
farmers and others using the labor of
their own children under eighteen

The KALEIDOSCOPE
By 1. C. McCUMBER

We're it not for the fact that the
people of the United States are pay
ing some thirty millions of dollars for
the enforcement of the eighteenth
amendment, the efforts of the So
called enforcers would be huge joke.
Ever since the 18th amendment was
supposed to have become law, we
have travelled several thousand miles
each year by automobile. Many
northern and southern states have
been in the itinerary. Without ques-
tion every town, village and city had

people who refused to recognize the
abridgement of the constitution.
Our business, ordinarily, does not
bring us in contact with criminals.
In fact, most of our endeavors have
to do with the so-called uplift people,

WAS GREATEST EVER

The Labor Day celebration and
outing at the fairgrounds last Mon
day is conceded by all to have been
the most. successful ever staged by
Hamilton organized labor, and this is
saying much for there have been some
wonderful celebrations of the day in
past years. The weather was every
thing that could be asked for, the at
fractions were high class and of the
best, the music was fine, the arrange
ments could not have been better.
1t was great day, and the commit
tee in charge is deserving of much
the whole affair was conducted. The
greatest ever, say all.

LINCOLN ONCE SAID:
1t is the duty of the whole people
never to intrust to hands other than
their own the preservation and per-
petuation of their own liberties and
institutions. No man is good enough
to govern another man without that
mans consent. No men living are
more worthy to be trusted than those
who toll up from poverty; none less
inclined to take or touch that which
they have not honestly earned. In
asmuch as most good things are pro-
duced by labor, it follows that all such
things of right belong to those whose
labor has produced them. Allow all
the governed an equal voice in the
government. Those who deny free
dom to others deserve it not for them
selves and under a just God cannot
long retain it. To secure each laborer
the whole product of his labor, or
as nearly as possible, is a worthy OBJ

HOUDINI EXPOSES
 SPIRIT MESSAGES

Most interesting of lIoudini's en- tortainment at Parsons thgater, Hartford, last night, was the lnagi- .cian's challenge to any spiritualst who can "produCc Il medium pre- .SonlinS any physical phenomena which he cannot reproduce or cx- plain by natural means" Houdinl, who will remain at the theatcr for the rest of the week, promises to makes it warm for fraudulent spirit uaists, He read a list of names of Hartford mediums from the stage and invited them to step forward and explain messages which they had given one of his investigators. He went so far as to introduce the young woman investigator to the audience and she explained her eN~ pertcnces with mediums in Hartford, explaining that they had given her messages from dead persons who never existed. She said that she had been "ordained" e spirWalist medium after a two hour course and for the sum of $5, exhibiting her "diploma' to prove 1t.
 Hondini's program with reference to spirltualism intrigued the interest of q large audience, many of whom, he said, were there as representa- lives Of mediums to check up on what he said about them. He de clared cmphatically that he had never known of a medium who was not fraudulent and devoted some time to discussing the famous Mar gerry" case in Boston, which he cX- posed after group of Harvard professors had accepted "Margery's' demonstrations as caused by super natural agencies, He also exposed, in view of the audience, the trick by which bells are made 10 ring and tamhourines tinlllc under table, With the aid of q young woman from the audience he exposed slate writing and showed how easily it is accomplished.
 The first part of the program was devoted to sleight of hand. tricks which deceive the eye and escapes. Houdini per ormcd the stunt of talk ing d Twin" man, SoycrinE an arm, a leg and his head and restoring the limbs 10 their proper places. lIr also "sWaIluWrd" five pacEagrs of needles .and several yards Of thread and .thcn produced the latter with the needles strung on il. one of his .iHo&t thrilling stunts hc called the "rhinose Water Torture t"ll,' In this I[oudini, with his feet rlamrcd in stuclis, is lowered hoadirsl into Il cabinet containing water and makes lis escape within q few min utos.
 In his repertoire IIr,1ni performs a thousand and on" tricks which myslify and amaze although h" ad- mits that there is nothing supcrna- tural about any of his work. IIo is beyond question tn" leading magi- elan of the age.
