DELIVERING THE UNION VOTE.
"The vote Of organised labor, as a
body, will not, should not and cannot
bo delivered to any party or by any
man or set of men." This is the
declaration of Norman 10. McPhail,
president of the Typographical Union,
in a letter to Willis L. Moure, chief of
the United States weather bureau.
Thus another voice Is added to the
rising protest of union labor against
the attempt of Mr. Gompers to "de
liver" the vote of American citizens.
Mr. McPhail has made a statement
that those whose acquaintance with
union men and is reasonably intimate
and who have used their powers of
observation know to be absolutely
true. No man or set of men can de
liver the union vote. A great mauv
people have assumed that this delivery
can bo made, and political ward work
ers "with their mitts out" have assid
uously cultivated this impression as an
asset In political campaigns. But it
isn't so. Every one who knows the
facts knows it isn't so. The union
vote Is as much divided as the Meth
odist vote. Perhaps even more divided.
It Is an imputation against the in
telligence of organizations which con
tain a largo proportion of highly In
telligent individuals to assert or as
sume that it is not.
The union vote, like the vote of all
other organized bodies is inclined to
plumb against those whom it consid
ers inimical to the organization. It is
not likely that a candidate on a plat
form declaring for the abolition of
labor organizations would receive un
ion support. It is quite as unlikely
that a platform denunciatory of secret
societies would find favor at the hands
of these fraternities. But when it
comes to national policies, to govern
mental affairs in state and municipal
ity, the union vote divides according
to the grades of Intelligence and citi
zenship to which its membership be
long.
Mr. Gompers can not "deliver" the
union vote. The fierce protest that
has come from union circles against
his assumption that he could and
would is sufficient evidence that this
vote "can not be delivered by any man
or set of men."
WHY DO" 'T THEY EAT CAKE?
"The people are demanding bread,"
replied her attendants to the query
of Marie Antoinette. "Have they no
bread?" asked the queen. "Then, why
don't they eat cake."
When we see men starving In th:
cities, the natural question that rises
to the lips of one resident in the mid
dle west farming country is, "why don't
they get away from the city and out
closo to the farm, farther away from
hunger?" The farmers of the corn
states have been crying for help for
ten years. Why don'.t the starving
get out where any man who is able
and willing can at least earn a liv
ing?
Dozens of reasons. First of all he
isn't likely to have the cake for rail
road transportation if he hasn't bread
for breakfast. He doesn't know condi
tions in the country. All his life he
has held a picture of "the countt-y" as
a limbo of ignorance, hardship and
loneliness. He has never seen a farm
home' or eaten a farmhouse dinner.
He imaglnfes that the country dweller
is of a lower sscale than the city wrage
worker. When he thinks of the coun
try it Is with contempt or with dread
as of a wild and uninhabited land.
Then, too, the taint of the streets is as
the breath of his nostrils. Even when
desperation drives he doesn't know how
to get away, where to go, and whom
to ask. He is like a lost man on the
edge of an unknown forest.
It Is suggested by a Marshalltown
manufacturer that these conditions of
fer opportunity for a little business
like "welfare work." In an eastern
city he was approached for charity
eight times in six blocks. Some of
the applicants looked to him as though
they might under different conditions
develop into usefulness, His sugges
tion is for an organization that would
investigate these men, help them to
move Into the west where the demand
for labor Is acute and supply two in
sistent needs.
Perhaps a national intelligence office
would be an aid to the man out of
work and the work out of men. We
have largely perfected our means of
distribution of commodities, the dealer
can order an article from New York
and expect to reocive it in very short
Thvi^^tejttihlican, parslialttjow^ taH&vfflrfntoi: i9oa
time. But we have neglected any proc
ess of distributing labor. We do not
get a hired man as we do the product
of the hired man.
Sooner or Inter we are certain to
pay more attention lo this phas«* of
production. It needs attention. I he
man who needs bread ought to have a
chance to earn It. The other who
needs labor ought to lie able to trade
the bread he raises for the labor ho
needs.
THE FUTURE OF THE PICTURE SHOW.
Reports are to the effect that the
"moving picture show" craze is dying
out. As an attract ion to children it
will always have place, even as It is.
but older persons soon tire of its at
tractions as the list of attractions is
now made up. Few people continue to
go night after night to witness contor
tions, more or less ludicrous, thrown
on a screen. Properly conducted, the
moving picture show as it Is now, is
a perfectly legitimate and often pleas
ing amusement.
Hut the picture show. If It is to sur
vive, and it will survive, must offer
something more than mere amusing
balderdash. it must become an In
structive necessity. in this line Its
opportunities are infinite. The future
picture show will supplement the daily
press in description of events of world
interest. It will offer the pictures of
great conventions, great fires, perhaps
battles and other events in which the
public takes common and intense in
terest, ami offer them wile the event
is uppermost In the public mind. We
shall read today and drop !n a day or
two after to see how It looked. Such
pictures will sustain public interest
and tho moving picture show will have
taken its place as a real anil actual
necessity. Imagine also the historical
value of such films.
When the picture show develops It
will require larger quarters, because
it will appeal to all who keep in touch
with the world's doings. It will be
patronized as the daily newspaper is
patronized and will find the pressure
of competlticn strong as the daily
newspaper finds it today. It must have
the real pictures and have them first.
When it does the theater entrance will
need new thresholds oftener.

"Why despise the flesh of the horse

The Bqlle Plalne Union says: "For

of the country have been Insisting that
the time would come when the repub
lican parly would be compelled to
answer for the conduct of the Forak

dictions and the only consolation lies
In the fact that thore are Just as -big

"They might tut well get their shelves

"If straw votes elected. Bryan would

so what is It? Judging from the circu

necessary duties and the reduction of
duties which are too high. Do you want
a senator Who will oppose reduction
to the duties on Iron and steei?"
"Because the people of Towa declared
for Allison at the June primary is no
sure evidence that they are going to
declare for John F. I^acey to succeed
him," points out the LuPorte City Pro
gress, "there were strong personal
features in tho choice of Allison that
will not play a similar part in the next
choice of senator."
Outside Point of View
After all what is known as the law
of compensation seems to a wise and
just part of nature's jurisprudence.
We affect to pity the than and woman
without offspring or heirs. We look
forward to their old age and are sor
ry, no loving child will carefully lead
them down the road that ends in God's
acre. We notice that even in the pres
ent they seem unsatisfied with the
home they have made and live in. That
they are "on the go," hunting excite
ment, a change, in travel, in parties,
clmub dances, cards, anything and ev
erything to forget themselves and
their present. We sea them drifting
apart, the man finding enjoyment
down town evenings, and the woman
all 'engrossed in some "woman's move
ment," some reform, something to
think about, to work for, and to ac
complish Oh. yes, the childless cou

Mr. Bt verldge once said in the sen
ate: The combined intelligence and
massed morality of the American peo
ple is the greatest force for wisdom
and righteousness In all the world to
day or that, history ever saw. I never
shall forget when that mart whose
memory wc all hold dear, and whom I
regard as the greatest constructive
legislator of the Inst half century.
Senator Piatt of 'Connecticut, told me
tills concerning these American
masses. He said: "I con always rise In
the American senate niul I can speak
without faltering or fear: but when
ever I rise to speak to an audience of
American farmers, I never speak with
out hesitation and trembling" Allow
ing considerable for the senator's flow
oT eloquence, what Senator- Piatt said
and felt is by no means an uncommon
experience. Speakers and writers
know that the thinkers nre mi the
farms. Not that such thinking al
ways correctly solves the problem. Not
that the result of such thinking is al
ways for the best, the greatest good
to the greatest number, these deduc
tions do not necessarily follow. What
Senator Piatt really said was, "I'm
afraid before an audience of farmers,
because they think out my speech af
ter I hey go home. They forget my
spread eagle and remember the figures
I mentioned concerning tobacco in the
Philippines. This view is a correct
one. The farmers of Towa once thought
over Bryan's 1G to 1 arguments. He
felt the result the day after election.
In the next and each succeeding
meeting of congress, we can depend on
what Is known as prohibitive leglsla
tioi. occupying a large share of public
attention. Theory is a large asset of
the prohibitionist, and It must be con­
fessed
the best of the argument when
sentiment Is called upon. The other
side use cold facts as their solid shot.
The abolition of beer halls, commonly
called canteens by an act of congress,
gave great, rejoicing to the prohibition
ist the country over. They had accom
plished something. Something tang
ible, direct, really had advanced a long
Step.
But. listen! To the committee
In the house of representatives came
this: The managers of the homes
have reported that the abolition of
beer hails has resulted in an Increase
by 20 per cent of offenses committed
by the Inmates of the homes, due to
uicohollsm. The report set for some
interesting facts, as follows:
"A period of eight months has now
elapsed since the closing of the beer
halls, during which time the general
policy of administration and discipline
has not been otherwise changed. Re
ports from governors of all branches^
of the homes show that 1.576 more of
fenses have been committed by mem
bers during this period than during
the same ei^ht months of the previous
fiscal year, when the beer halls were
in operation, an increase of 28.02 per
cent. Practically all of these offenses
were due to intemperance.
"The number of cases of acute alco
holism treated In the hospitals during
this period has increased. The small
est Increase reported was 13 per cent,
at the Pacific branch, and the largest,
91 per cent, at the eastern branch in
Maine, which is a prohohttlon state."
In one sense this is threshing over
old straw. The prohibitionists explain
these figures, by saying that the offi
cials making these reports are men
addicted to the use of liquor, and pur
posely make the worst the cases re
ported. That now a drunk Is a crime,
under the old regime a misdemeanor.
That the men accustomed so many
years of slavery to drinlc, cannot bo
expected to at once accommodate
themselves to the freedom of total ab
stinence. Nothing Is settled. Theory
and practice still claim the best of the
argument.
Iowa Newspapers
CR'KFTDS NOT AN ISSUE.
(Cedar Rapids Gazette.)
A Linn county man made the state
ment the other day that he would not
vote for a certain candidate because
the candidate is a Unitarian, and
therefore not to be considered fit for
the office to which he aspires. In this
enlightened age we ought to be spared
such evidence of bigotry. If a man Is
a real man, clean morally, that is as
far as his creed should be considered.
Certain it "is that a man's religious
views .ought not to be made the sub
ject of discussion and of criticism. A
man's religion is his own private busi
ness. If a man is to be rejected be
cause he endorses one creed, another
man might with the same propriety be
rejected because he adheres to another
creed. If one man is condemned be
cause he is an Unitarian, another
might be condemned because he is a
Presbyterian, or a Methodist, or a
Catholic, or a Jew. If the voter pre
fers one candidate to another for any
legitimate reason, then It is.his duty
as well as his privilege to throw his
support to that candidate whom he
considers the best fitted for the office
or -whose platform the more strongly
appeals to the voter. There are ques
tions that are properly campaign is
sues. The question of any man's creed
is not one of them.

(Davenport Democrat.)
The other day as announced in the
Democrat, Fred Russell, the chair
man of the Iowa state pharmacy com
mission, ran away with a woman to
whom he wns not married, leaving his
own wife who had stood by him in
thick and in thin. The chairman of
the pharmacy commission receives a
compensation of $5 a day when in the
actual performance of duty. Not extra
ordinary pay to be sure. But more
than fifty applications have bfen made
to the governor for this vacant position
and nearly all of them are accom
panied by petitions. Before the end
of the week fifty more applications are
expected to be filed. It was supposed
that nearly everybody wanting work
In Iowa had found it. But it appears
that, every little office to be filled has
a host of seekers running after it.
