IT'S ALWAYS THE OTHER FELLOW

as the immortal Robert Burns once wrote, we
would probably get much more amusement from
life, provided our sense Of hunor could stand it.
At the present time, one chain of newspapers
which is attempting to throttle freedom of speech
is crying that the freedom of the press is endan-
gered; the national bar association wants the
newspaper profession cleansed to protect the ad-
ministraton Of justice and the metropolitan press
declares that justice can not operate unhampered
until the legal profession is purged.

NEW ZEALAND is
SUBJECT OF STUDY

The basement room of the Luz
theran church was very attractive
Wednesday afternoon with dain-
tily appointed tea table and with
decorations of potted plants and
large jardiniere full of pussy willow
branches. Mrs. j. S. Lightfoot was
welcomed as a new member Of the
club and an interested group OF
women heard two splendid papers
given, one, New Zealand Econ
omic Utopia" by Mrs. w. j. Kin
caid, and the other, '"The History
and Customs of the Maories' by
Mrs. w. II. Keal.
The geographical location and
politics of New Zealand were briefly
discussed by Mrs. Kincaid as
background for her subject and she
gave also short resume of the
history of the islands and called
attention to the large wall map she
had brought to Illustrate her talk.
Some of the interesting facts
stated, taken at random from Mrs
Kincaid's talk, were: Although the
government of New Zealand has in
the past been socialistically inclined,
today it is returning to corserva-
tism; government ownership Of pub
Lie utilities, old age pensions, and
arbitration of labor disputes are an
old story there; women were given
suffrage in 1898; schools are free,
secular and compulsory; New zea-
land has lower death rate than
any other country; the birth rate
is controlled and low; infant NOR
ta1ity is low.
Although New Zealand is 1000
miles from her nearest neighbor,
she has felt the effects of the de-.
preston as have all other countries
Relief has been handled much as in
the United States by the subsidiza-
ton of public works, road building,
etc., and a decline in uhemploy-
ment figures indicate that the cor
ner has been turned. Relief funds
we're raised by a 10 per cent sales
tax and an unemployment tax of
Is cents on each five dollars of all
salaries and wages, no matter how
small. New Zealand is deeply in
debt, the amount figuring out 5000
per capita.
Mrs Keal's description of the
Maori tribes of New Zealand kept
her audience wildly attentive dur
ing the period she talked. The
Maoris gentle, we'll dispositioned
folk, although not many generations
removed from cannibalistic prac-
tices became not just people you
read about, but real folks, almost
neighbors, under Mrs. Keal's skill
full and sympathetic Interpretation
of them.
Musical numbers were two piano
solos, Grainger's County Gardens"
and Home Longings," Jungnann,
played by Miss Virginia Kincaid,
and Home, Sweet Home" sung by
Mrs. F. A. English.
Hostesses for the afternoon were
Mrs. L. F.. Austin and Mrs. Ray
Ramsey.

ferent from our other meetings. We

GRAFT-PROOF POLITICS (Continued)
Last week in this column we editOriallzed upon
the fight to secure cleaner politics. AS an example,
we cited the movement naugurated by the Order
of Cncinnatus on the west coast to clean up mu-
nicipal government.
The Cincinnatus had made good record In sew
eral municipal campaigns and had continued their
gains in the Seattle primary election. But as the
returns from Seattle's general election came IN,
we realized that perhaps we had spoken too soon.
For not only was the orders candidate for mayor
defeated by a considerable margin, but all three
councilmanic candidates of the group were at the
bottom of the list in the final voting
The results however, bear out a few statements
made last week; namely, that the fight against
graft in politics is rather haphazard movement
and that few permanent results are achieved.
Every now and then, conditions become SO bad
that group inaugurates movement to clean up
the political situation. If the public is sufficiently
Disguised with the methods by which affairs have
been handled, it is likely to follow the movement
and institute a reform. But sooner will things
quiet down than the public forgets it's past lesson
and allows conditions to revert to their former
state Except that this time, OF course the shadler
element in politics becomes firmly en-
trenched and all previous gains are wiped OUT
and the fight is against larger odds than before.
The reason why this country does not have bet
ter management Of public affairs than it has en-
ioyed in the past is we'll summed up in recent
editorial appearing in the Wenatchee Sun:
ssThe average American is an honest and kind
1y fellow, VIGOROUSLY good to his mother and
sympathetic toward lost children but he has one
great fault, which is that he never seems able to

MAYOR ENDORSES
 LIONS CAMPAIGN

Mayor Prank Hayes, when asked this morning by the Lions Club to accept the chairmanship of their campaign for funds and their char fly ball at Hamilton Park, April IA, grateously responded to the request and spoke in glowing terms of the service organization.
 He said ITO my mind there is no greater opportunity for one to be helpful then to contribute to the Lions Club Childrens Health Foun- dalton. Their work has made living possible for many children stricken with the terrible malady, infantile paralysis. The unselfish work of the members of the club and the doc- tors, who cooperate with them with out pay should serve as an inspira- ton to all our citizens. It Is my hope and prayer that this work will not only go on, but will increase in scope. This can only come about through the generosity of our citi- lenS,"

FARMER LABOR
 PARTY FOR CONN,

New Haven, Conn. March g. (UP)-A movement toward organ- ization of a permanent farmer -la- Dor party, as yet local in scope, to- day was in the hands of an eXecu- tive committee representing 19 Am- erican Federation of Labor unions and railroad brotherhoods. A sim liar party has been formed and will take part in the Danbury mu- nicipal elections March 30. The platform of the organization was said to be identical with that of the state labor committee: A 30-hour work week without pay reductions, institution of genuine" unemploy- ment and social insurance, repeal of the old age assistance tax, edu- cational and vocational youth pro- grams, bolstered farm income with out crop reductions and against war and fascisine
 The effectiveness of a farm labor movement at this time, however, was questioned by Charles Solo, mon, socialist candidate for gover- nor of New York state. Speaking at Bridgeport Solomon said although it is imperatively, necessary an ef- fective national labor party in the 1886 campaign is highly improbable because neither farmers nor organ ized seem to be ready for 1t, such a party cannot be long delayed"
