A country and government that have been held up as examples of progress and glorious democracy are floundering in a sea of unrest, crime and misery.

Unions, were of necessity, organized to protect the laborer. For years they grew slowly, until now they have a stran gle hold on capital. We believe in a capitalistic country, for without capital we would not progress as we have. We be lieve in unions, for they must protect their ranks from intolerant capital. We also believe capital is getting what it deserves, for their attitude toward labor for years was dis tressing. Capital is now receiving what they gave to labor in former years—little consideration. Now, however, labor has passed all bounds of reason. They succeeded in getting capital where they wanted them, but were not satisfied. They developed many lucrative positions that drew nifty salaries, and these salaries must be continued and handed out as plums to the faithful. Two factions of labor began a war among themselves to see where the plums would fall, and the consequences are disastrous to the whole nation. Capital is on its knees, so to speak, and the great mass of common people are patiently waiting for the internal strife between the two factions to see who will rule, and it is becoming intolerable. Another six months of this sort of thing will place the country in another civil war and when it is cleared up, labor will have lost all it has been fighting for. The average American workman is just as dumb as the average American voter. A spell binder can sway them this way or that, to suit the situation at hand. The honest laborer is in the same position as the honest citizen who refuses to allow his name to go be fore the public for office. Neither desires the pub licity of running the gauntlet of criticism that will be heaped ujMin them for taking the lead and trying to put forth honest effort. what?
