MussOlini's Policy
Gains Ground in L. 5.

Washington, Jan. ga warning
against Capitalization in government
was voiced last week by Senator
Wheeler in Baltimore and Senator
Wadsworth in New York.
The political policies of these law
makers are as opposite as the poles
but they agree that the present ten
dency is toward autocracy. Senator
Wadsworth called attention to various
bureaus and commissions that have
been set up in the nations capital that
are taking unto themselves increasing
power.
Senator Wheeler said that never
before has the legislative power been
dfied as in the last few years.
"If this country" he said, "had a
man in the White House with the
courage of Mussolini ne might set
himself as a dictator and abolish CON
gress. He would have the enthusiast
ic support of some of our great IL
nanciers, profiteers, and financial ov-
erlords."
The Montana lawmaker said our
greatest danger is not red propa-
ganda. but is our drifting from the
anchorage of representative democra-
cy toward a centralized government
conducted by executive order IN de-
fiance of the will Of the people as
expressed by their representative
bodies"

George F. Russell, Sec,
225 North Adams street.
Mr.. John H. Walker, President,
Illinois State Federation of Labor,
Springfield, Ill.
Dear Sir and Brother:
At the regular meeting of the Peor,,
Ia Trades and Labor assembly held
last night (January 25) a motion was
made and unanimously carried that
the Peoria Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, endorse our fellow townsman, Mr.:
Garrett D. Kinney for the oftice OF
treasurer of the State of Illinois. ms
motion was carried by a standing vote
Of the delegates present at the meet
ing.
We feel that organized labor can
safely get behind the candidacy OF
Mr.. Kinney as he is the president oil
the Cutter & Proctor Stove company, a
one hundred percent union concern,
and in all his dealings with labor, has
always shown friendly attitude to
the welfare of the man who tolls, and
the delegates were enthusiastic in en-
dorsing the candidacy of this fair EN-
ployer.
The assembly also unanimously en-
dorsed the candidacy of Frank L.
Smith of Dwight, for the nomination
OF United States Senator.
With best wishes for success nthe
coming campaign for the candidates
endorsed by the S. F. of L., we are,
Fraternally,

children in their own homes or in
supervised foster homes, using so far

listing. Temporary care is provided

Movies" in Education.
What every boy and girl knows is
confirmed by a body of experts IN
Great Britain. These experts, men,
befs of the Cinema Commission of En-
quiry, established by the National

Indian Babies Given Opium.
The Times of India" gives an as
tonishing picture of life among the
poor mothers and children OF India.
1t states that the practice among In
dian mothers of dragging their ba-
bies with opium to keep them quiet
while they themselves are at work IN
the mills is so prevalent in Bombay
that the matter of securing legislation
to prevent it was discussed at recent
meeting of the Bombay Municipal
corporation. A report of the medical
relief committee of the corporation
was finally adopted, with few dis
sentients, which states that such leg
islation would be premature in the
present state of public opinion among
the people concerned and would be re-
scented as an unnecessary interference
wit ha prevailing practice which
would deprive them of the opportuni-
ty of earning their daily bread" The
report recommended efforts to edu-
cate public opinion and the encourage
ment of the agencies trying TO bring
about better sanitation and living
conditions in Bombay.

Either directly or indirectly,
half of its entire population of
$500 have some interest in the
profit from the grist that is daily
ground between the upper and the

Into the hoppers, from a radius
of one to two hundred miles, there
is a steady flow. of humanity.
White, black, yellow; Americans
by birth, Americans by adoption;
Catholics, Jews and Protestants.
Every race, creed and national
ity contributes it's share of the
grist that the greedy millcrs
grind; that flows in by train and
automobile in a steady stream.
Business Always Good
Business is always good. as the
figures show ten to fifteen mar
riages day, the majority of which
are performed by the "Jitney Mar
riage Trust" parson.
For the purpose of knowing the
inner machinat atoms of this trust
the writer permitted himself to be
led to the altar for the second time
by the same woman.
After spending the night in Wilm-
