This is the open season for fool
legislation. with the legislatures of
forty-two states in session.
They need a good stabilzer to
withstand the onslaughts of cranks
and lobbyists. who want to foist their
pet schemes off on an unsuspecting
people in the name Of the law.
The Oregon Humane Society is
carrying on propaganda in all of the
states for the passage of an act to
make it a misdemeanor, punishable
with a fine, TO carry a dog on the
radiator or tenders Of an automobile
unless protected by some device to
prevent the animal from falling off.
The vast majority of people like
dogs especially dogs that do not
jeopardze life, but protection Of
their lives scarcely calls for any he
role measures such as suggested in
this instance
Owners of dogs who prize their
companionship win not subject them
to unnecessary risk, and they do not
need any such fool laws to chart their
course.-Ex

words of the president, who ex-
nresset deep and sincere convie-

value.
ANY newspaper referring to the
presidents words, can do so without
boasting. because they represent an
honest appreciation from him of the
saerifiees that they are always max
inQ for the good of the community
and the nation at large.
The president said that American
newspapers are the best newspapers
in the world, that they are particu-
Isrlv representative Of the practical
ideaIisnn of the people and that they
print more real news and more re-
liable and characteristic news than
the Newspapers of any other coun-
try.
Then. with an unusually keen sense
for orc who has never had news

for aceuracy, fairness and excellency,
which daily and weekly goes on in
the EDITORIAL offices of all papers

Il believe their editorial opinions
are less colored in influence by mere
partisanship or selfish interest,
than Ire those of any other country.

reliable and less partisan today than

The newspapers, of course, gave
the story great prominence because
it was so unusual. Newspapers feat

Poison booze, graft, scandal, di-

front page serves its readers.
After reading the papers, many
people, especially the young, believe
that the world has gone to perdition,
when in reality it hasn't.

This explains why women workers
predominant in our trade. But it ex
plains another thing which is very
vital to the workers in the millinery
industry. 1t explains the antagonism
that exists today between the men
and women workers.
AS the men are in small minority
the employers tolerate the mems un-
ion and concede better wages and
hours to them. But they are vicious
in their fight against union for wo-
men. To discourage this move they
keep up continuous undercurrent of
insidious propaganda to keep the
workers divided and this results in
all kinds of complaints between the
workers.
The millinery workers, men and
women, should consider these facts
very carefully and should get together
to work for their class interests
They are all workers and the exploita
lion of one means the exploitation OF
all. The workers have one common
enemy, the bosses who are their ex
