NDICATIONS are that representatives of the American Federa- H tion of Labor, gathering for their convention at Atlantic City next week, will see clearly the timeliness of outspoken, uncom- promising declaration from organized labor in the United States against anarchy and Bolshevism. E Besides denouncing recent bomb outrages, the Federation, accord- ing to its Secretary, Frank Morrison, is expected to urge all local unions “to take strict measures to prevent lawless factions from ‘sserting their influence in the work of organized labor.” “We will seek to prevent a repetition of the Seattle strike, where radicals gained control of the local unfons and caused a general strike that was not authorized by one of the international unions. labor stands by its right to strike, but will insist that its strikes be orderly.” It is plain enough that never more than et the present moment * has labor owed it to its own prospects to draw hard and fast lines 4 between its own lawful aims and methods and the sinister plots of a the lawless who steal labor's name to cover anarchy and attempts at Tre © wholesale murder. Organized labor in the United States cannot make it too clear that, whatever it seeks to obtain for itself, it can be trusted to put up a formidable and unfailing fight against Bolshevism. The American Federation of Labor needs the respect and confi- dence of 110,000,000 Americans. It cannot afford to run the risk of being misunderstood through any equivocal attitude toward mur- derers who pretend to be furthering labor’s cause. Bomb throwers are labor’s worst enemies. Every labor leader worthy of the name knows that. If he is true to the workers he repre- sents he will help them prove to the country that they know it,.too. ———— + Gnaris and all, the wite systems of the country are dropped by Postmaster General Burleson back into the hands of their private owners.

INCE the next harvest will largely solve Europe’s food problem, Mr. Hoover contends that food control as it now existe is no longer necessary and that normal trading should be resumed “Gn all parts of the world: = “The problem of securing to Burope the necessary imports next year is @ problem of peace and finance. Without both it ig helpless and without peace there could be no finance. If they get peace, a moderate helping hand in raw materials, machinery and in some instances currency reorganization and temporary food credits, the countries of Europe will soon revive their export industries and make themselves self-sup- avi peace all Buropean etates oan manage their own transportation and distribution and, therefore, continuance of the world food contro} as it exists to-day is unnecessary.” It will be noted that Mr. Hoover’s view of the outlook in Europe is at least seventy-seven shades brighter than the dark and gloomy ications Mr. Vanderlip brought back and epread like a Chan- “nel fog among his fellow countrymen. What would cheer American consumers most, however, would be to hear that bountiful American harvests were to be permitted to have at least some slight effect in lowering retail food prices in the United States, that the Government had ceased taking the daily |" ~~-ailvice of the meat packers or other great food producers as to what | means should be employed to keep foad prices from dropping, and } that when surplus food supplies—es for example war stores of beef . and bacon—became available for home consumption it would not be necessary for the entire country to rise up in protest in order to keep them from being shipped and sold abroad. Foremost among the results of peace should be a distribution of ‘American plenty—among Americans. ——— 4 ——————— Senator Lodge and Senator Borah won't tell all they know about the alleged leak.

The Road to “Like It?” Or, Choosing the Right Vocation By Dr. Holmes W. Merton (The Evening World’s Authority on Vocational Guidance.) Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Brening World), The Chance to Make Good. HEN one takes into considera- W tion the few actual experi- ences any particular person has in whioh to try out his various natural abilities, it does not seem so strange that the great majority of People fall below the kind of success they have good reasons to think should come to them. Frequently one hears the statement, “I have tried a dozen different voca- tions and failed in every one of them.” One might truthfully reply, “Yes, you may try fifty dozen and yet not suc- ceed, not find your best.” The probability is that this same man has worked all around a very practical, interesting and, for him,, easily mastered vocation, He has not “made good” because the chance that was his kind of a chance did not appear to be so, He did not have any means of knowing what latent facul- ties he had that would fit into the vocation, He did not, any more than do the millions of other people, real- \ze his own unused combination of mental faculties that could spell out success in another kind of work, His right vocation was hidden behind the partition of his inexperience, so how- ever he went about it he must guess and guess wrong. If a man sits calmly down to think out what he can really do best, he cannot think very far beyond his ex- poriences. His absorbing experiences as education and obvervation—are no good criterions of bis ability to do things, of his ability to put that edu- cation into actual practice, Let us consider this for a moment, He may know he has the same gen- eral education that others have and may find that some of these have succeeded in one thing where the rest have failed. To him those who failed re often superior generally to those who succeeded, but proved in- work they tried. A superior man may partially succeed as a misfit; many do, But none of these conditions ex- plain to bim wherein is his own cbance to make good. Nor do they point out which of his own faculties The difficulty is that he must know! himself and also know what there is in himself as unexpressed power and ability that a partioular vocation r quires, How to find the answer to these questions has puzzled the world for many centuries, The old Greek temple motto, “Know thyself,” was good advice, very good advice—but just a little ahead of the explanation of how to do so, How, then, can a man, simply from his own experience and his own de- sire, choose from the great fleld of human effort the jcular vocation fitted to Ris naturM abilities; that will assure him the chance to do his best work, that will, to use a fami- liar automobile expression, allow him to work “on high?” One suggestion is that he read a wide variety of descriptive works about the various professions and trades, or about the definite prin- ciples of business or the sciences, until some one of them gains his in- terest beyond any of the others. This y give him a clue that is worth h more than simply senti- ment, or than any experience he may have had in his youthful education, 8.

The Noted Poetess Almost Writes About the LLABELLE MAE DOOLITTLE, the noted poetess of Delhi, loves to write rhymes about things that she doesn’t quite under- stand. ‘ “They always interest me,” she states, “and interest in something means mind pleasure which wards off insanity,” The other day the poetess went to the B, I. & F, Railroad station to find out if the Pollywog was later than usual After getting the desired in- formation from Agent Podge Bing, she was attracted by the sound of the telegraph instruments. The sounder began to go “clickety-click” and the agent asked to be excused a moment. “Go right along, Podge,” satd Miss Doolittle sweetly. “Duty ts calling, I imagine.” Podge went to the instruments and jotted something down on a paper. it was merely a message for the sec: ton boss, but it started Miss Doolitue to dreaming. There she stood listen- ing. Suddenly she turned and went out. ‘The Women's Betterment League, ot which the poetess is a member, met that afternoon in Hugus Hall and ambng those who attended was Miss Doolittle. She was gowned in pink shebang rice-cloth with a short skirt trimmed with imitation wild straw- berry blossoms, and a waist of real goolash gingham. She was immedi- ately surrounded by admiring mem- bers who examined her dress for price-marks. Promptress Pertle took the rostrum and called the meeting to order. “Ladies,” she began, “we are here to-day to debate the question, ‘Does Cannibalism Still Exist and If So, Where?

HE old, old question, “How can ap I make some one love me? is always new and always—unan- swerablé. To “M. H. H.,”" “H. BE,” “Frances T. ©.” and others, I can only repeat the hints I have so often given before. In oldan days persons believed in “love potions,” “charms” and magic to enforce love. Nowadays we all know there is nothing that can at- tract others except being attractive in one way or other, Good looks have little to do with it, One has cnly to observe that most married people have no distinguishing beauty. They are just plain, everyday human beings, But remember what that word “human” stands for. It means & being with the faults and virtues of humanity. Not a super-person. Not a perfect person, But one who gives a thought to other human beings, who works and plays and laughs and cries and feels and serves and fails and succeeds—all with a warm friendly love for his fellow human. Let me quote from the words of a woman who understood her fellow be- ings with a rare and wise syinpathy: “The girl a man loves,” wrote Nix- ola Greeley-Smith with that superb talent she had of laying finger upon specific, helpful human truths, “is the girl who believes in him, The girl who ts willing to take him at the valuation he sets upon himself. “Some girs really have this beau- tiful faith, Others merely pretend to have it, But whether real or coun- terfeit, it is the quality men find most essential in the women they love. “The hold that inferior women have always had upon men lies partly in the fact that their very inferiority is flattering. ‘The man who bas sharp- ened his wits all day against the wits of others likes the ‘restful woman’ who enables his brain to rest. “A great deal of woman's flattery of man js genuine. To the ‘home girl’ who naturally “exaggerates the diffi- culties of something she has not tried, the mere fact of making a living is @ tremendous thing, and making a living for five or ten years before marriage does give the man, through the broadenin, xperiences, a real superiority to her which she is the first to admit, It is because his achievement seems 80 much 0 mier, swinging @round facing the camera. “All right,” the second soldier an- neypoet awe va. get | we yan over me,” he ‘adinitted.
