Claiming only to be a human in- stitution, we realize that ofr the same as any other institution And we would ask that criticism be meted out to the organization with the sam« degree of commiseration tkat is meted out to others. The go- | ling wrong of a trades unionist | should bring down upon the organi- ! zation no greater condemnation thar would the wrong-doing of a member o1 pastor of a church upon his par- iticular religion. We have evidenee of church people, of doctors, of law- yers, and of other business and pro- fegsional people being condemned by the courts the past year but we have not heard it charged that the par- ticular business, profession or calling | to which they belonged was wrong.

SRS S The hardest rap yet taken at the “Swan song’ of Senator Bailey, of Texas, comes from the Pensacola Journal. That paper dismisses Bai- ley’s fierce attack on the initiative and referendum and eloquent plea for “reprcsentative government” ag a mere shrewd bid for legal husiness from the “interests’” by a gentleman vho is about to resume the practice of law as a private citizen and would be happy to start out with a buncn of millionaire clients. Bailey is a curious compound of great and small qualities and it is hard to take Lis measure, but it is practically sure that he will always take excel- lent care of the personal interests of Joseph Weldon Bailey and that nonc of his fine sentiments or sonorous periods will ever divert his eagle vigion from the main chance. SNSRI S— The Prohibitionists and the liquor dealers In this country will now min- jmize most other mundane affairs un- til they know the worst or the best, ar their sympathies run, in the mat- organized labor receive every aid every encouragement? Does not its tar-reaching influences for good lead all movements for the material, so- cial, political—if not spiritual-—up- lift of mankind? Was not trade unionism the prime mover in ad- vancing educational training amone the masses to the end that the pub- lic school system should be estab-’ lished? Born of democratic thought and action, has organized labor not in- ®pired political reforms, the primary Is not the initiation and referendum an offspring of its efiorts? Has not the child, the moth- er, the home, profited by the lrld\"-. union movement for better condi- tions? Has not unionism inspired hope, aroused aspirations, bred love of country, of home and of heave.’l? in the hearts of its members? In fine, does not the organization of the' masses along trade-union lines lead to advanced thought and the lessen- | ing of selfishness, intolerance and | prejudice? Surely it does, and you can say thay the standard of the! trade-union movement is based upon justice, and the battles that will be | waged with this standard will con- tinue until social and economic jus- tice will be ‘recognized throughout including | organization and impress him with the fact that it is a duty we owe each to the other to be mutually helpful. You may be confronted with the remark that trade unions are not ideal, and you can frankly aamit that they are not—that they are no more ideally right than the ;vorld is ideally right. But you can _arsure one and all that trade union- ,ism is ever striving to adjust itself ,to the ever-changing conditions of society and of government. The cop- stitution of our government, framed 5133 years ago ,is not suitable to | the conditions of the people of today 'and it is likely that a perfect ar. 1angement today would not meet re Guirements a century hence And sn { with an industrial organization sneh as onrs.
