(For many years Mr.. King has
directed the Popular Government
League in Washington. He has
never faltered in cIusading for
the public interest and against
special privilege.)
That great American thinker, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, who graduated from
Harvard University in 1921, once
wrote "Inaction is cowardice. There
can be no scholar without the heroic
mind" And again, owe think our
civilization is at it's zenith. We are
not yet at the cock-crowing or the
morning star"
That was over century ago, how
ever, and since that time so compara-
lively few scholars have shown up on
the battle line to advance civilization
beyond the cock-crowing stage, when
their jobs were at stake, that common
folk are surprised and gratified when
one takes his sword in hand and
yields it.
am led to these reflections when
| recall that right after World War
|, when the country was in filters
over "Bolshevism," young professor
in the Harvard University law school,
Zacharias Chafee, came forward in
1920 with a book Freedom of
Speech" which had major influence
in restoring sanity and saving the Bill
Of Rights. And he has been at it ever
since.

MORE EMPHASIS ON
POLITICAL ACTION

Setting up of Labor's League for
Political Education units throughout
the state, that greater political ac-
tivity and information may be had
in the ranks of labor, is another 1852
goal of the federation, states Presi-
dent TIMBER.
Closely akin to placing greater en-
phasis on political affairs, is also the
executive boards expressed desire to
work for closer cooperation with
other labor and farm groups, includ-
ing Mine-Mill, the Rail Brotherhoods,
Montana Farmers Union etc. on mat
ters Of mutual interest, particularly
in the field of legislation.
Continued support of the Montana
Joint Tax Study committee, and CO.
operative sponsorship of Montana La
Dor Institute and regional labor-farm-
er Institutes, was considered most es-
sential by the executive board.

gates resolved that un-affiliated To-
Gals be permitted to reaffiliate with
out paying the customary three
months back per capita tax penalty
for such reaffiliation. The executive
board, viewing such a waiver as an
actual amendment of the federations
constitution, at Saturdays meeting
decided the waiver proposal should
be put to a referendum vote of all
affiliated locals. Referendum ballots
on waving back per capita on re-
affiliation by convention time 1852
lin August, are being prepared and
the decision of affiliated locals will
be announced go days hence.
Success of the referendum will give
the new officers of the federation the
"greenlight" to make an about re-
affiliation campaign and thus lay the
groundwork for making the fedora

TO STUDY ELECTION LAWS
REVISION

Another important step at the Sat
urday meeting was the decision to
secure copies of constitutions and by
laws Of various declarations of labor
in other states, that a study may be
made and recommendation advanced
for general improvements of fedora
ton laws relating to election Of Off
GERS and board members Of that body.
To permit the president more time
in which to be visiting central and
local bodies throughout the state, the
executive board also approved the
hiring of a full-time office girl for
the state office in Helena.

Emily Post
Says

A reader this morning explains:
when we go out with another
couple for an evenings entertain
ment, and we go in their car, do
we have to wait until they suggest
going home? The other evening
my husband and I were at a night
club with friends of ours and we
wanted to leave at a certain time
but our friends showed no signs
of leaving and we felt that we
had to stay since it was their
car"
If you haven't a. car of your own
and have to 60 with them. you will
have to wait until they are ready
to 60 home. However. if you do
have a car Of your own. 1t is best
beforehand to say, II hope you
don't mind. We are going in our
car because we have to leave
early"
Boby-Sitter's Boy Friend
Dear Mrs. Post: Occasionally,
my eighteen-year- daughter is
asked to baby-sit for neighbors
while they 60 out for an evening.
When she does this, her boy friend
usually goes to the house where
she is Sitting" to keep her COM
pany and then takes her home
when the family returns. I do not
entirely approve of this, not be-
cause / don't trust my daughter,
but 1t might cause gossip. Will you
please give me your opinion as
my daughter and I do not agree
on this?
Answer: This would at very
least cause unpleasant gossip. A
consideration is whether or not
the neighbors your daughter sits
for approve of her boy friend sit
ting with her.
Wedding Ring for Husband
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it permissible
for a wife to buy a husband q
wedding ring after five years o1
marriage? Our anniversary is next
month and I can think of no Other
present I would rather give. How.
ever, friends say it would be
wrong. If it is all right to give
him this ring, will you please tel
me what date I should have put
in it; the date of our marriage
or the present date?
Answer: It is entirely permissi.
|ble-in fact not even unusual. Tht
date should be the same as that ir
your own wedding ring. After all
you are honoring your marriage
not the date of an afterthought.
