It may be said to be growing worse ruther than better. And the ranks of the unemployed were recently augmented by some half million cotton operatives. Yet the government dscpaying more than $8,000,000 every week in unem- ployment doles, so that as the nation’s ability to pay is xeduced through cessation of production, its lis Dilities are increased. It is possible for a man earn ing $7 a weck when employed to get $4 a week when \heeremains id There has also been a standing of- ent of $50,000,000 to stabilize con- hile making an investigation. Because of \Ghecgratuities paid to the unemployed, there have fBeen instances where men have committed breaches ’ ipline so that they cuuld be discharged and te- ery a week without any further effort on their Tritain would do well to take a page from recent \imerican labor history.

The return of the ‘xeeds to their private owners was notice to the work- ers that federal gratuities had ceased, and that a full day's work must be rendered for a full day’s wage or the-wage earner’s income would cease. Other indus- tries were relieved from the radical demands of the'r employes when it became known that men were wait- tng to take the places of those who wished to quit ywork for any reason. Avlittle of the same spirit. in’ Britain would accom- Mish wonders. Millions of men are perfectly willing terJanguish in -idieness*if( they; and their families are being cared for ‘meanwhile by a beneficent govern- ment,-and if they know that other men are not ready towstep in and take the places they have vacated. But let-the gratuities be stopped and an invitation issued to-all able-bodied men, whether members of organiza- tions or not, to work the mines and other industries that have shut’ down, and: there would be an immedi- ate change for the better. When the opportinits: for work is there, and men are faced with the alternative of accepting or starv- ing with their families, they are pretty apt to get busy. Of course, some violence would attend the transformation from idleness to activity, but it in- volves a question that must be settled sooner or la- ter. Such a settlement is bound to result in a vic- tory for the state, for there never yet was a strike of a minority that the majority could not put down if su nt determination was exhibited. Sam PS THE REAL AMERICAN HUMORIST. “The fu: t things which are written and printed ia this co’ are not written by Irvin Cobb, or George Ade, or Ring Lardner,’ observes the Ohio State Jou: are not written by the profes- sional humorists of the great newspapers. ‘They are written by the so-called country editors and notably by the so-called country editors of Ohio and Kansas. hink anyone with a real sense of humor ‘¢ numbers of newspapers’ and maga- zines-and modern books will dispute this assertion. “Humor is merely the ability to see and react un- derstandingiy to the. mirth-provoking side of human nature, which is not the least ample of its sides. A humorous paragraph may be grossly exaggerated in its interpretation of human nature, but human na- ture must be somewhere down near the bottom of it er it is « failure. This explains why humor is so much more amusing, so much more satisfying than wit. Wit needs no human nature as its foundation; it may be simply a lightning-like play on mere words, sufficient to cause a smile, a laugh perhaps, »=t none of the solid comfort derived by the discerning from true humor. The faithful country editor comes into very close contact constantly, as he does his routine work, with genuine human naturc. ‘He has more leis- ure in which to develop his humorons reactions than the professional humorist of the city, for he is not expected to turn out so many inches of humor a day, no matter how he feels. -He writes and prints in its proper department of the paper, or elsewhere, what in his observation of human nature appeals to him as amusing and he is not oppressed and hurried by the tho:ght vf so much space to fill And, oh boy, he does write sometimes the funniest things in the world!” a KICKS ON THE COMEDY. Well! Mr. Harding has gone down into the rural districts of Ohio and dug up a country editer; en- tirely unknown and unsung and made him prohibition commissioner and responsible for keeping John Bar- leycorn dead and guietly sleeping in the church yard. His name is Haynes but that does not alter’the fact that he has some job. He wants everyboty to cease making a joke of prohibition. He apr.als to the editors, cartoonists, reporters, scenario writers, playwrights» and ‘every- to cut it all out and join in making the United s one grand Sahara. is what the new con joner has to say on |, the cartoon, the news story, the film * Ss or the legitimate play, which has in it the direct sta ment or inferential suggestio: fortunate attitude and encourages among irrespon- sibles the breaking of all laws.” > The gced brother is asking considerable of the fra- ternity right off the reel. We might be-willing to be prohibitionists, for it is a pretty hard matter to be all the solemnity about the matter? boro, Gaio, so long that he does not know just how blue things are on the outside? And if he insists on hanging a weight on the steam of -humor doesn’t he know that the blamed thing will blow up. » Emerging from the paw-paw brush of Highland county and pulling lain Street” stuff on the gang makes the new commissioner as great a joke as pro- hibition enforcement has been. Cartoonists and jokesmiths have been dallying with truth. Enforcement has been a joke since the day it was attempted. It will continue to be-a-joke just as long as the government treats it as a joke. If Haynesy, old boy, desires to remove the comedy element from enforcement, let him hop to it sincero- ly and earnestly and show the world that there is no joke about it. John Sherman of Ohio, one time proclaimed that he only way to resume was to resume. Let Editor Haynes also of Ohio tell the world that the only way to enforce is to enforce. Then make as good a job of it as John Sherman did of resumption. iS ES At MAKING LYNCHING UNPOPULAR. “If Missouri wants to be spared the humiliation and another investigation fiasco,” says the Post Dispatch, “such as occurred recently at. Bowling Green, it might do worse than pattern its preventive effort after an Illinois law which has taken iynching out of the category of popular pastimes by making it sub- ject to certain hazards which the most enthusiastic lynchers are unwilling to incur. “This law, enacted in 1905, provides that ‘if any person shali be taken from the hands of a sheriff, or his deputy, having such person in custody, and shal! be lynched it shall be prima facie evidence of failure on the part of such sheriff to do his duty and upon the fact being made to appear to the governor, he shall pub! proclamation declaring the office of such ii ant, and his office shall thereby and there- after immediately be vacated.” “Although, against the presumption of neglect of duty, the sheriff may be reinstated if it appears that he has done all in his power to protect the life cf his prisoner, the question of reinstatement is unlikely to arise, because when a sheriff has done all in his power to protect a prisoner lynchings do not occur. The last man in the world that lynchers want to meet is a sheriff who will do ail in his power to protect a prisoner. “When Illinois sheriffs were only called upon to de- fend their prisoners they were not enthusiastic about it and lynching was easy and safe, but since they have had to defend their jobs as well as their prisuners, lynching has practically gone out of fashion in that state. The valor of mobs has always been in ratio to the complacency of sheriffs and with the subsidence of complacency valor likewise has vanished.” he ERS POSE RESTORE THE LIGHT. The public wonders why the city authorities per- mit the most prominent intersection in the entire city to remain in darkness. Why the lights are not re- stored at Center and Second streets on the Webel corner? There is perhaps morq traffic cast, west) north and south at this point than at any other point in the city. Negligence to provide proper lighting is Keble to cause a serious accident and let the city in for blame and damage. It is,a problem at certain hours in daylight to keep traffic in order with offi- cers on duty directing it. It is a greater problem at night «when traffic is undirected. The city had better take action before some calam- ity befalls, and be in the clear. pe RGR 2S Sa BURNING THE BARRIER. If there was one industry, guilty of profiteering during the war and is still at it, it-was the coal in- dustry. The New York Tribune, among: other jour- pals of importance, likes to kid about the matter, so it observes: “The news that Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jer- sey has introduced a bill into the senate in which it is proposed to furnish the public with accurate infor- mation about the coal industry must naturally be viewed with alarm by every patriotic American citizen, “We have become fairly accustomed to disclosure. Business privacy is almost altogether a thing of the past. The one thing that we have relied upon never to be known is the inside of the coal industry. “If we are now to be informed why we pay a dol- lar a ton more for coal one month than we do in an- other, why it costs six or seven times as much as a ton of coal is worth at the mines to get it anywhere at all, wky a poor person who can buy it only by the bucketful and pay cash has to pay about twice as much as the rich who get it by the ton and pay when they feel: like it, why miners appear to be working vonly when there is plenty of coal and to be laid off when there isn’t—if all these mysteries and many More are going to be explained, then nobody is safe. “But if these gentlemen who are about to give us this information really intend to say it, one may mild- y Soa the hope that they will not say it with slate.” $$. A BOLT OF LIGHTNING. Casper viewed a magnificent but costly spectacle last night in the burning of the seven Midwest crude oil tanks west of the city. A zigzag flash of lightning during the middle of the afternoon fired seven huge tanks and approximately a half million barrels of cil went up in flame and dense clouds of smoke. An army of men struggled valiantly, but apparently in vain, to subdue and control the burning oil. Their ef- forts were directed toward the saving of the remain- ing tanks in the field and in this they will in all-like- lihood be successful. It was fortunate that no wind prevailed at the worst period of conflagration or a different tale would be told. The entire western horizon was obscured by the dense volume of black smoke which for most part of the time rose in perpendicular columns and the blaze shot upward to the height of three to four hundred feet, lighting up the entire western section sf the city. If the destruction could be forgotten it was a beautiful sight, and attracted a large share of the population, who remained at vantage points until late in the evening. + The loss, modestly estimated, will reach a half mil- lion dollars. pee Welt Ee A WHERE THEY ARE. Mr. Wilson writing to the editor who had more nerve than judgment in starting a Democratic paper in Pennsylvania said: “The Democratic party repre- sents the things that are permanent, and which no human force can defeat.’ We don’t know what the new editor thinks about it, but if he was around last fall'and was awake he could have heard about ‘a human force that did de- feat; and as for the permanency of Democratic pol- es, if he will look over the trash pile, we think he will find most of them there or permanently buried ewhere. ‘The time ts slowly but surely com- for the generation @ electricity makes: ing when the natural resources of the! possible a great saving, noi only in country, including in a large its waterways, will be turned ful energy at central sent out by electric anything else with any safety; but why does he want! piaces where it Has the es-}. teemed brother been buried in the oblivion of Hills-|*.
