MARCH 10. 1920. MISTAKEN CONSERVATISM AND WHOSE CAME IS IT Car.iltali.-m. the czarism of America, after applying the "acid te.t" for a humlrnl yrnra or at lorust siace orK'tnizod labor bocanio a force in American l.f, (loniandin?, of all caniüdatos for cor.Kn.ss, an fxprcsion of his attitude on l.-.tmr prnblf nu-. is bocorning more and more "h- t uj" every day, over tho course that it is promised will bo pursued thU ; ear by the American Federation of Labor, in mimicry of its antaponlt. That labor .hould undertake to fipht capitalism with its own tongues, is of course, terribly lielllsh; iabor should be more calm and collected and thus wo- have that new organization of business men, the 'omrneroi.il Federation of America, recently Instituted at St. Ioui?, with the avowed purpose of "fishtlnK radicalism." Harry M. Haldeman of Tasadona. Calif., the permanent chairman, is quoted as making the following st.'itoment: "The American Federation of Iabor is today the most dangerous force in America. politics, nml we want this organization to become lare enough and strontr enough to combat it by removing the fear of that body from the minds of our politicians and office-holders." The sinKlinp out of the Federation of I-abor for special attack thus early in the pa mo tends to arouse fears that possibly the orrranizrs of the Commercial Federation at morica do not realize exactly what they are doinc. Possibly they are lighting their own best friend. Xo editor need hold any special brief for the A. V. of Ijl to point out that this labor organization i.. not "the most dar.frous force in American politics," but rather a bv'.wark acainst thos forces of extreme radicalism that offer the real danger to American Institutions. Ftandincr between the ultraconservatives and the ultra-radical;;. American labor unionism, as conducted in recent years, has been a steadying force in American life rather than a disintegrating force. It is true that homo of the most recent tendencies of the Federation of Iabor have boon disquieting. When the federation oflieials announce their intention of going Into this year's campaign and applying to every congressional candidate the acid test of "friendliness to union labor," the non-union citizen has considerable misgivings. Such action tends to marshal class against class in elections and legislation. Nevertheless it must be remembered that th Federation of Labor has steadfastly opposed, and Mill oppose", the creation of a labor rarty. that it Is the avowed enemy of socialism, I. W. W.-ism, bolshovism and any other program of revolutionary radicalism, after which manner mimicing the appropriation of the republican party by capitalism fcoms to appeal to it not. There are millions of Americans who do not love the Federation of Labor, and who nevertheless seek to uphold it rather than destroy it, because they realize that if it should he destroyed, it would be replaced by a labor organization far more rudical and menacing. To them the Commercial Federation of America, in its very nature, i. more menacing than Its wanted victim.

THIS IS TEACHERS' WEEK AND WHY. This week is teachers' week in South Ilend, i'; tact, throughout Indiana, essentially bringing to the fore a subject that n eds serious public consideration. At the Kiwanis club, the Ilotary club, Fniversity club. Progress club and South 1! end Wo mans' club, as we understand it, there are to he addresses at the weekly meetings, calculated to revitalize public interest In th teaching profession, and then Friday night the teachers will banquet and be addressed by Prof. George I. S.trayer of Columbia university, a man with whom educational administration is a specialty. The teaching profession is degenerating, according to Ir. Strayer; the experienced teachers quitting it for other ard more lucrative employment, and their places being rilled by uung and inoxperincod girls not si bad wen1 it not that so few o: them intend to make it their calling". Ilenumeratiorj is the big problem. When it is considered that in one year ll.Tju'O 'juit this underpaid serbe. the s h.ool problem becnus a s rius one flora that try ar.cle; what. ar-- we going to do for tenia rs?

With the decline oJ Christianity as a spir:tu..l force, as appears now to be the tendency, with the 'bought of world materialized, and the money power ev.-n er.g.iuinc the hurch to anctify :ts course, it is o.iy natural that the teaching profession should itrow wary of its old altruistic ideal-, and derr.ar.d at least a resj-ec-t;tbl living.

HIS LITTLE JOKE. Il.anex. the Spanish author, who is visiting in this country, could scarcely have expected to be taken seriously when he declared the greatest need of American women to be a little rough treatment. H says they nre surfeited with respect and deference. In the same edition of the newspnper in which his views were printed was a Ftory of an American in rather high life who was accused of dragging his wife around by the hair, kicking her out of bei and of biting her. Did she love It? rCot so you could notice it. She sued the "gentleman" for divorce and a lot of alimony. Xor has any one noticed much surfeiting of women with rosjpect and deference in street cars. The author also shewed that he had taken only a hasty gh'nce at conditions hero when he Fpoke of the American women as being pampered in the homos. Some may be, but millions of them have to go out to work to maintain themselves and help keep families. The way the American women have conducted their campaign for the vote also shows tha they are not looking for "masters." but for their rights as equals. The author gives himself away when he refers to American women who dinej him in Paris as hl3 authority. They wore plair.lv of the brand that r.grees with everything that a "distinguished foreigner" says in criticism of America. .When ho asked them if they liked the bowing and scraping of the American men (who do the least of this of any men on the globe) they assented rromptly. They would have agreed just as readily if ho had asked thorn if they did not find the coldness and brutality of the American nun intolerable. We wouid like to see him attempt to talk in such a i. '.anner about American men to some of the real women of this -ity.

HIS OATH MEANS SOMETHING. The story from Redwo od. Calif., of a public detective's following i murder clew relentlessly even when he found it led to his son and his turning over of the latter without the least request for clemency is a reminder that such rig'd devotion to a public trust exists in real life as well as in fiction and today as well as in ancient times; in fact, there have been a number of instances lately of police officers helping to round up their sons who were- wanted for crimes. The point is that their oaths mean something; that they hold their pledges to the public nbove anything else on earth, and would surrender one of their own flesh and blood for punishment just as they would give up their own lives in the service, if necessary. Whether one should be expected to go through such tests, or whether more than a few could elo it, may be passed over. The contrast It furnishes, however, for some of the miserable creatures occasionally heard of in the public .service cannot be se nsido. It ought to burn into the souls of those who hold their oaths so lightly as to sll for mere trifles the privilege of violating the laws they are sworn to uphold. It could be understood how in some circumstances a father would suffer death himself rather than give up an erring son for someone else to punish, but it cannot be understood, oxcept on the basis that the offender has not yet risen to a state of manhood, being rather a brute, when someone traffics in what others hold sacred.

TALES OUT OF SCHOOL. Controversies between different selling interests dealing in commodities which figure oftenost in domestic budgets may bring a blurting out of trade secrets that will be worth a good laugh to the patient consumers, whatever the suffering to the ex1 osed. Passing the buck is as much a part of a certain business system as in politics, so it is interesting and amusing when in response to a consumer's plaint about the high cost of a certain commodity and the frequent advances in its cost, a jobber steps into the breach to say that the price of that particular article has not increased in 13 months. If the consumer is charged more, he explains, the crime is the retailer's, not those from whom he bought. It is more amusing when a retailer literally dashes into print to inform the complaining consumer and the public in general that the jobber who interviewed himself must have been asleep for IS months, or ho would know that the price on the article in question had been advanced by jobbers 10" percent in the last two months, to say nothing of other jumps. If this sort of thing keeps up it may oncourage a revival of Dr. Max Nordan's "Who Lies?"

FROM GANGS TO CLUBS. In a certain Chicago district from which 13 percent of all that city's delinquent boys formerly came, a new enterprise has strung up with the departure of the saloons. It is the formation of a "boys' club" winch is expected to round up all th3 "gangs" which grew up arourd the evil saloon, and to help them to become useful and productive citizens. The clubhouse is a remodeled three-story building which, in the days of the liquor traffic, wr-s occupied by a saloon and a cheap dance hall The old harmful influences will be replaced by wholesome constructive ones. There will be all kinds of athletics, games, entertainment and educational facilities. The unguided or misguided "gangs" which used to turn out annually a large proportion of de-lin-tuents and criminals will disappear, and in their place will come clubs and teams and chummy grours of hoys from seven to seventeen years old who have no need for mischief-making because they are so bu.-y having genuine fun under the friend! guidance of their club leader. It Is far simpler and more economical to direct and train boys for good citizenship than it is to arrest, punish and reform youthful delinquent? and criminals.

Carperuier. the French prize lighter, is reported about to wed a French girl in preference to an American heiress who is said to have made a leap ear proposal to him. Wouldn't you like to see the "heiress" at a distance.

Wc thought at first the object wa Nelson Jones, but on second glance discovered that it was Just someone who had drove in, with a weed chain missing. We made a pass at the individual, missed him and hit a pay-as-you-enter advertiser about where his South Pend watch should have been. After digging the broken crystal of his Ingersoll out of our knuckles we made this remark: "Well who are you and how did you get In here past all that line of creditors in front of my door?" The object bowed low and responded: "I'm little Ouija, you have heard so much about, ask me any questions whatst you willst and I shallst answer them." "Who sent you. Harry Wheelock?" I asked, and he chuckled Insolently.

After a short parley, Ouija'a name was attached to a contract, and in the future Ouija will work for The Tower of Babel regularly. The

amount of money Involved in this

deal Is staggering, but with a feeling that nothing is too good for Tower readers, Ouija was furnished with a chew of tobacco and put to work. The following questions were put to the odd genius and In each case, ns our clientele will agree, the questions were answered correctly. Ouija will be with this newspaper for some time, answering all sensible questions.

UXASHAMKT). I want to be nominated for the vice-presidency. Sen. Calder. A student of politics most of our life. Wo have witnessed the broils and dissensions. And thrilled with delight as wo gazed at tho strife And noise of contentious conventions; But never as yet have wc known of a case Of a man with a candor undaunted Who brazenly said the vice-president's place Was the Job that he honestly wanted. T. R. was averse to no publicist's job (Provided, of course, he could pick it). But well we recall how ho simply raised hob When they begged him to "round out tho ticket." When Fairbanks was mentioned, his whisk rs he rent. And acted distraught and demented. Although, still avowing he ne'er would consent, (As Byron observed) he consented. Doc Bryan was offered the place once or twice. When tho Job higher up was refused him; But though they had carefully loaded the dice. Their blandishments never enthused him. While Thomas It. Marshall declaimed himself hoarse In strenuous efforts to shake It, And when he was chosen they had to use force Before they could get him to take it. Yet here is a man who is proud to declare. With never a single condition. That to hold for a while the vicepresident's chair Is the height of his earthly ambition. He certainly catches us off of our

guard, Xo claim could be bolder or balder; lie's after that Job. and he's after it hard. And we'll cheerfully hand It to Calder.

Why Xot Substitute It? An outgo tax would pay Uncle Sam better than an income tax.

Cuba.

They AH Use It. "I am not a candidate," is the signal by which a politician notifies his friends to dig up convention delegates for him. (Copyright. 1920.)
