Why not absolutism? Why not each mind its own business and work together like decent fellows? under no obligation to purchase any particular items. and institutions of America Cardinal Gibbons stood as unswervingly. He owed allegiance to no other country and no other flag. He might be an internationalist In religion even as the Catholic church is international, but in civil affairs he was committed to the sovereignty of the United States Government. His patriotism was not merely passive: it was of a militant kind.

Critics do well to find 'out what are the real and authentic beliefs and opinions of those they criticise. If there were more truth-seeking there would be less religious antagonism. Cardinal Gibbons had no difficulty See Our Day Dream Window Toilet Needs For The Men To introduce a line of "shaving needs" for men we offer: in reconciling his position as a dignitary of a church that haliAvac In a iiTiIrtn ff nr! State with hi? nosition as a citlzsn of a country t. which such a union is ab-i uuireui. i for the tax payers of the state and for the convenience of the public Ever since the adoption of the state suffrage measure, the double ballot system has been a nuisance and a cause of election expense.

An excellent example was afforded in the Presidential election last fall when, although the ballot for men and women were identical, it was necessary under the law to publish specimens of each in the newspapers, supplies of sample ballot of each kind, and large quantities of each for use at the polls. The additional advertising charges for newspaper publicity for two specimen ballots, rather than one, amounted to thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of dollars. This waste expenditure meant revenues, of course, for newspaper and job printing concerns, but newspapers no more than other tax payers like to see public money paid out to no purpose. Approval of the Buck act, eliminating the evil, wili be unanimously, applauded. More than a money saving will be accomplished by one set of ballots for both men and women voters.

The labor of election clerks and judges will be greatly lightened, their bookkeeping system simplified, and vtbe possibilities of making mistakes lessened. This means more accurate counting of the vote, and an earlier report to the public of the result. When woman suffrage was new, there was some interest in a system that permitted comparison of the way men voted and women voted. That curiosity, however, was soon satisfied. The separate ballot system Is well discarded.

"While the union is idealiy best," said Cardinal Gibbons in his memoirs "history assuredly does. not prove that it is practically best. In our country separation is a necessity and it is a separation that works best for religion." r4KKmna wna ommllv pmnhatic in discussing- We have just added the popular line of Stearns Day Dream Toiletries.

On this the Cardinal once said: "Suppose the Pope were to issue commands in purely civil matters, should not Catholics be bound to yield bim obedience? The Pope will take no- auch act, we Armour and Company recently an nounced a plan whereby all matters pertaining to wages, hours, working conditions and Sanitation' are to be settled by representatives of the workers. Step In Bight Direction The details of the scheme may not be perfect, but the policy is a step in the right direction. It means workers are to rule themselves and not be regulated by somebody else. Swift Company followed Armour's lead within a few hours. "It is the desire of Swift Company," it was announced, "to establish some means whereby employes may meet at intervals with the management to discuss all matters affecting their mutual relations so that the company may be enabled to do the best it can for its employes and the employees the best they can for the company." The typical reaction of the mossback is exemplified in the comment of a labor union official on this.

"Bunk." he said. "The public will not be deceived by this attempt to slip one over," which shows precisely the spirit of suspicion and hostility that is industry's chief curse. Need of Co-operation The Merchants Association committee in a very sane report the need of It depreciated the use of the "open shop" when that was made to mean discrimination -against union workers, and also the -closed shop" when that excluded non-union workers. Both are a misuse of power. Both mean class domination instead of co-operation.

Both cripple production, and injure worker and employer alike. The report urged frequent conferences for consideration of matters of mutual Interest, and recommended that "both sides strive to remove conditions that necessitate a militant policy by labor unions." So common sense is not dead. War is stupid, whether among nations or in industry, and is caused by men using their passions and prejudices Instead of their brains. War is especially idiotic in industry, for only co-operation conflict destroys. The only rule that will work is the Golden Rule.

SPFl TlNfi BOOKS AND BATHS "Saving" In Bus Fares Illusion, Think of Taxes and Safety To' the Editor of The Herald, Sir: Just a line or two regarding the buses that are being operated on our streets in competition with the street railway system. Did you ever stop to reason out what good the buses really are to the public They will get you down town a little quicker than the street cars, sometimes, and often furnish you with many thrills enroute by stunting in front of an 18 ton street car that cannot stop on a dime, no" matter how careful the operator, or ignoring the watchman's warning at the railroad crossing. Just suppose, doar public, that the car company should tear up the rails and you had to go down into your pockets to dig up more taxes to pay for that part of the streets, you are not now taxed for.

Again, the street railway company Is a big corporation and big corporations pay big taxes, which you would have to pay if the company had to discontinue service. How does this company pay its taxes? Out of the fares you pay it. You have already started to cut the means by which the company pays the tax you would have to pay. Chenp Life Insurance How will the buses help you pay this additional tax? Tou ride for less, you say, but do you? A nickel to the bus will take you down town. Six cents in the street car fare box will not only take you down town, but across town, and vou get some pretty good life insurance besides.

Is protection worth the difference between five and six cents? If It is not, what do you want for a cent? If the street cars should be forced to cease operation because of the lack of business. It would take so many buses to handle you that a pedestrian would not be safe, neither would your car be safe. The tax for repairs to the streets would be so heavy you would have to sell out to meet them. You are allowing yourself to be led astray by false illusions and idle dreams.

STATISTICIANS have discovered, and philosophers will find significant in the fact that America pays for toilet soap annually almost what it pays teachers in elementary and High schools.

Could there be more convincing evidence that enlightenment and cleanliness go hand in hand? The annual soap bill and the educational bill of a tribe of Eskimos both could be represented by zeroes. Travelers give assurance that in parts of Southern Europe and in Asia inhabitants are equally thrifty. in the use of bath, tubs and spelling books. It is coming to be generally accepted that the great unwashed are as a rule grossly ignorant. It must be admitted that there are seme localities even in this enlightened and well-scrubbed nation that the lines of soap and teachers' salaries do not run paral-.

How many of these are. full blood Indians? av. s. s.

The office of Indian Affairs states that the earliest estimate of the population of America is that of the year 1789 The population was then 19,500. According to the 1910 census, there were .265,883 Indians in the United States. The 1920 statistics are not yet available Editor. Let us help you look your best at Ea ster time.

Just a few suggestions: tion is employed to atone for this "unsubmerged tenth." Teachers who make daily inspections behind the ears of the male part of their rooms will wonder where this extravagant use of soap occurs. Teachers, and for that matter parents, have a wrong idea of the aversion the young male animal of the human species to cleansing substances. A boy may not like to wash his face nd hands, but he mightily loves a shower bath and a pool. A dab of water in the face is not fun, but getting in. all over thafs a primitive instinct.

Nobody who has seen boys In the Y. M. C. A. showers can wonder at the impressive 'figures of that institution's annual soap bill.
