ALDERMEN GIVE
 WALKER OVATION

Alderman Burton H. Walker (R), reports of whose defeat for Te-elec. ton proved highly exaggerated, was given an ovation by fellow members last night when 1t was officially an- nounced that he had been elected for another term.
 A morning paper, the day after election, reported that Mfr. Walker was low man among the Republican candidates for alderman and had been defeated. Its figures, however, proved to be 200 in error and MT. Walker was in fact reelected.
 The aldermen, under the charter, must officially canvas" the election results. This was done last night and when MT. walkers name was reached, other board members join. cd 1n cheers and applause.

NIERECK IN VERY BAD

COME SPEECHES by Congressman are so bac
~ that agents Of our Government think they
should not be circulated throughout the UnlteC
States George Sylvester NiereCk has been ac
cused Of having arranged the reprintmg of these
speeches and their circulation under free franks
of congressman.
In due time quantities Of these reprints founC
their way into a private residence in Washington
and from there they were removed to the House OF
Representatives office building. Federal granC
jury indicted trusted secretary in the employ OF
Congressman Hamilton Fish and accused HIM OF
helping Vierecl get the speeches into the mails II
free franked Government envelopes
1t has not been charged that the speeches that
were taken from the Congressional Record were
unpatriotic, but apparently they didn't quite fiji
into the general tenor Of remarks made by most
of the Congressman on Capitol Hill. Niereck was
indicted some time ago.
The merits Of the whole affair are not very
important except so far as they relate to Nierech
who is regarded as an able propagandiSt for Ger
many. He got away with propaganda during the
first World War. In some way he succeeded in get
ting out Of all the holes and back into good Amer
can society after the defeat Of the Kaiser He's il
pretty bad now. Bat 50 far as the Congressman
secretary is concerned it seems advisable to with
hold Judgment

LABOR SHOULD ALSO DECLARE

TNHE ROOSEVELT-Churchil declaration con-
cerning war aims and the basis of future in
ternationa relations gives food for thought as to
future labor relations.
The declaration of these two world leaders
must necessarily be brief and easily understood
1t is shorter than Woodrow Wilson's classic four
teen points of the World War of 1917. We hope
it will be more effective in the final reckoning and
more lasting.
Labor should declare briefly but definitely that
the principle of collective bargaining, declared
in the National Labor Relations Act, be actually
and honestly recognized by business leaders and
business firms;
That definite and effective punishment be pro
vided for all who directly indirectly interfere
with the exercise Of those rights of labor recog-
nized in the act;
That the welfare of the people as whole shall
be the first concern of government;
That those who suppress free speech, free as
sembly or free press be punished as violators of
the laws of the United States;
That the right Of all citizens to propose and
advance their ideas Of changes in laws or policies
in the interest of the general welfare be scrupu-
lousy protected against any class warfare, OF
or militarstic PRESSURE; and
That the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States be made the sole
subject of a main and compulsory course of in
struction in all public recognized schools, to be
taught to pupils under the age of fourteen years

NAME CALLING

THE CITIZENS of this country must learn to
take ii without putting up wall when our
ships are hit and even sent to the bottom.
We are in the now and since we have cast
our lot with England and against Germany we
shouldn't be awed and shocked if Hitler doesn't
permit without challenge our war goods to reach
land where it will be used to defeat Germany.
Americans are good sports and since we knew
all along that this country is not neutral, let us
face the dangers.
To call Germany names because she attempts
to stop our aid to England appears to be borrow
ing some Of der Fuehrers stuff. We laughed at
him when he did practically the same thing. Why
sink to his level?
We have asked TO be dealt in the game. The
stakes are high so cannot expect to win With
out terrific struggle Through our President we
have said that Germany must be defeated at all
costs and we are going to deliver the war material
to do the Job. We are arming merchant ships
while our naval units employed In patrols and
conveys. 70 expect Germany to keep hands oil is
like expecting the Northwestern safety man to
allow Dove to get behind him on a pass play just
because we have money on Notre Dame.
Undoubtedly the name calling is AIMED TO
arouse the citizens to fighting pitch actually
declaring war will not be hard job-but We as
Americans, should be big enough to realize that
we are in the fight now and have no time or
stomach for such silly verbal blasts.

SOCIAL SECURITY GROWTH

|GOCIAL SECURITY has assumed no final and
~ unalterable form. We can never build any
simple Maginot-Line style of defense against the
ever persistent, ever-changing attack of inse-
not static, thing and in recognition of that fact
Congress has given to the Social Security Board
the responsibility of making continuous studies of
it's actual workings. From time to time in the
future the results of these studies will find their
way into legislation as they did in 1889.
That method-that principle, that social Sc
curity should grow from experience should,
think be the stable and permanent guiding
philosophy behind any social security program. It
must be founded upon the bedrock Of sound
finance and skilled professional administration 1t
|must grow-not haphazardly as prophets
emerge with new panaceas-it must grow out OF
its own well-studied experience. No system which
is not itself stable and proven can ever bring de-
pendable security to the American family.-Ar-

SOUND AND FURY

AT A SUNDAY night meeting in Madison
Square Garden speakers of the Communist
Party demanded that the United States declare
war on Germany and with Great Britain open a
new front against Germany in the West. Only a
few months ago these same speakers were charg-
ing that Great Britain was waging an "imperialist
war" and counseling American aloofness from the
European conflict. zaE.
Since then Great Brtains war aims have not
changed, but Russia has been attacked by Nazi
Germany. That makes all the difference What
does it matter to the Communist leaders that an
attempt to create western front at this time
might we'll lead to disaster for the democratic
cause? What will they be urging a year from now
if Russia is forced to conclude separate peace
with Germany? The leaders of the Communist
Party demonstrated long ago that their opinions
are imported from abroad.

CEMENT OUTPUT SCARS

Washington, D. C.-Output per
man hour in the portland-cement in
dustry jumped nearly $50 per cent
from 1919 to 1910, the L. S. Labor
Department says. While 25,300 work
ers were required to produce 81 mil
lion barrels of cement in 1919, 24,lOC
workers produced 130 million in 1910
The increase in productivity took
place without change in major manu-
featuring technique, but many minor
technical improvements came into use
through building of numerous new
plants and modernization of existing
factories.

FARM OUTLOOK FAVORABLE

Washington, ID. C.-The farm out
look for 1912 is favored by the rising
demand, prices and income, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture says. The
cash farm income may total 13 bill
lions in the coming year, the highest
since 1920. The demand for farm
products in 1912 will be "even better"
on the average than in 1911, it is
held. The favorable demand situation
is attributed to (1) A higher average
level of business activity and con-
sumer incomes than in 1911; (2)
Larger total purchases of farm prod
ucts under the food-for-defense pro-
gram; (3) reduced competition from
imported commodities; (4) strong
speculative and storage demand

ONUS ON JOHN

THE LABOR movement has John

.'NiiE LABOR movement has John l.. Lewis to
thank for a drive to pass ant-labor legiS-
lation in Congress. BY calling strike at the cap
tive mines when there was compelling reason
for it, Lewis played right into the hands of the
the situation to raise howl for restrictive laws
Flaring headlines on the strike in the newspapers
and an avalanche of radio news and comment
created the proper atmosphere for such drive
and made it comparatively easy for the reaction
aries to stir popular hySteria and anger.
The strike, happily, was ended before much
damage was done to the defense program but the
damage had been done to the labor movement in
the eyes of at least considerable section of the
public. The onus for this rests on John l.. Lewis
and on Mr.. Lewis alone.

CALL THE DOCTOR

HYGEIA POINTS out that what not to do is as
4 vital as what to do for the so-called common
cold According to DR.. Herman M. Jahr, There
lis hardly practcing physician who has not en-
Icountered some grave illness which had been
treated as a cold for days weeks poll
omyelits, pneumonia meningitis and many Other
important diseases start with symptoms of q
cold."
Dr. Jahr suggests three steps to be taken at
the onset of what seems to be a cold-isolation OF
the patient from Others rest in bed if there is any
suspicion of fever, and immediate notification of
the family physician.
This is the season when colds are most preva-
lent Don't take chances--mnor ailments, wrong
ly treated and diagnosed may lead to grave i'll
nesSes. The best advice is to call your doctor at

WORK VERSUS DOLE

REPORTING on accomplishments in the last six
~ years, The Work Projects Administration lists
80, 900 new public buildings and 100000 miles Of
road construction and Improvement. In addition,
the report lists great volume Of other public mn
proVementS too large to even mention here.
The work was done by millions OF men and
women who otherwise would have been merely
existing in soul-dcstroying deness. They could
have been kept alive on a dole but there would be
no tangible accomplishments to show for the eX-
penditurc Of money. Now there is a record of
public Improvements which have added largely to
the resources and Wcl-bcing Of the nation. Which
leads WPA Commissioner Hunter TO say:
"lhc dividends in public improvements ac-
cumuIated through six years of the WPA have
settled once and for all the old dispute about work
versus the dole. Workers who otherwise would
have been idle have carried out a program of
public construction and community service unSur-
passed in history
The nation this paper thinks, will agree with
Mr. Hunter that Wl'A experience has settled for
good the work versus dole controversy. Organized
labor opposed the dole principle from the begin
ming Of the depression and time has amply justi-
Aed ltS position.
