S “There are approximately six million unemployed n in the country today,” notes the Chicago Tribune, dr “For these’men and women and to their dependents in there is one paramount issue. It is work. st ‘But Mr. Samuel Gompers, Mr. William Jennings = Bryan, and other Democratic politicians in house and i senate have begun a beating of the tom toms, and the a tune is an old one. The common people are being be- 1 trayed again, and the obvious inference is that they o must turn to Mr. Bryan, Mr. Gompers, Mr. Kitchin, iM and the Democratic leaders to save them. r “If it is good sense to trust the same guides who n got you into a bog to get you out, the Democrats, in- 24 cluding, of course, Mr. Bryan, Mr. Gompers, and Mr. a] Kitchin, should be called back at once. " “Mr. Gompers’ organization prejudges the proposed r tax revision, which is characteristic of Mr. Gompers’ Hi Democratic partisanism. It demands on behalf of the od idle workers ‘something real, something constructive, ,| something that will not add to their burden while al- lowing tho rich to escape,’ which seems to mean the ce °: retention of the excess profits tax and the present scale of higher income surtaxes. The federation views : the raising of exemptions affecting the small taxpay- er as ‘a sop thrown to the,people.} “Mr. Gompers wants the retention of the excess profits tax. He pretends that to repeal it is to re- lieve the ‘war millionaires and great corporations.’ We think Mr. Gompers knows better. If he does not, he ought to make an honest inquiry into the facts. If he will do that, not as a member of the Demo- cratic party machine but as a real friend of the idle workers, he will find that the excess profits tax does not work as he thinks.or pretends to think it does. Fair students of taxation, who are as sincerely anx- ious for a just distribution of taxes as Mr. Gompers or Mr. Bryan, and we think a good deal sincerer, hold v that the tax. is worse than ineffective, since it resulted in the pyramiding of prices as well as in the encour- ¢ agement of extravagant expenditure. “We think Mr. Gompers knows it has been a fail- ure, and perhaps Mr. Kitchin does, too. But the F| temptation to make political capital of the fallacy on which the tax was built is too great to be resisted. There is no respect for the facts shown in the A. F. of L. pronouncement nor in most of the attacks made on the tax revision program in congress. The Demo- crats are responsible for the present taxation. It is human that they should try to ignore ‘its faults, but : they ought to have enough concern for the country, now in a serious condition of business stagnation and unemployment, to drop demagogy and try to work out a revision which will relieve constructive business and stimulate it to go forward. “Mr. Gompers is talking nobly about the 6,000,- 000 idle workers, but he is acting like a small bore unscrupulous politician. His appeal is not to facts or to reason but to class prejudice and ignorance. The country in the present situation deserves better from him and from the other Democratic leaders who, while pretending to be defenders of the oppressed poor, are trying to block the measures which by stimu- lating business confidence and enterprise should pres- ently bring relief. Fa “Six million Americans want jobs. = going to get them under the guidance 3 Bryan, Gompers and Kitchin.” 2 Fa” They are not of Messrs. ——— : ARE CONSISTENT WINNERS. The bobbed hair girl is holding her own as a burn- ing issue of the hour with any question before the country during the gladsome dog days period, includ- ing national tax revision and the ever present and irk- some Volstead inhumanity to man. The big department stores throughout the country and other concerns employing large forces of wom- en and girls are the ones that furnish most of the dis- cussion on bobbed hair matters. Many institutions at- tempting, when the style first broke out, to abolish or change it threw up their hands and quit in discour- agement after the first round, have now joined with the advocates of the style and are among its most en- thusiastic supporters. : After the east had given up the fight Chicago took up the crusade, and Marshall Field & Co. threw the great weight of its influence into the scale against the prevailing’ craze. New York employers from an attitude of bitter an- tagonism have experienced a complete change of heart and are now to be found arguing pro-bob for all they are worth. Asserting that the bobbed haired girl is more alert, more sanitary, more pleasing to observe, and has more snap and ginger than the girl with a haystack of hair. =. The head of one of the largest stores in Gotham adds further testimony: “Short skirts and bobbed hair have hhothing to do with merality and efficiency. Canwrah hat Pe A” re cise individual taste.” Still another concern, employing thousands, states its position thus: “We have never thought of barring powder and rouge in moderation and the short haired xirl is welcome in our ranks.” Seven other large stores ridiculed the idea of bobbed hair being incompatible with ability. They agreed that some of their cleverest buyers and sales girls bobbed their hair. Marshall Field’s is making a valiant struggle to make their rule stick and keep a straight face, but they are having an awful time doing it. The young ladies who conduct business at the counters where perfume, hosiery, hairpins and other wares may be had appear in nets, but they are not happy and there is a loud buzz of protest all over the establishment. It is pre- dicted that the big store will lose the fight and short- ly retire with what grace it may from: the field. In addition to looking good enough to eat the bobbed hair girl is both a diplomat and a fighter for up to date she has won about every contest she has engaged in with dictatorial bosses and brought them around to her point of view and made them say they like it. It was a woeful mistake on the part of anyone ever to have proclaimed against any style girls chose to adopt. They are their mother’s daughters and there- fore bourd to have their way and mere man stand- ing in the pathway of progress and feminine will is no better than a fool. The “cuties” are winners any way you view them. DEEL IE RE EBS ae Ee NOT THE ONLY AMENDMENT. There has been much pow-wow in congress throughout the country on the prohibition que: and issues arising from it in pending legislation and proposed acts that have not come on for discussion. In all of these matters much existing law has been overlooked by those most deeply engaged in the dis- cussions, as well as much law disregarded by those en-. gaged in executing the law. So far as we know the fourth amendment to the constitution has never been repealed, is still of full force and effect, and for the benefit of those who are hurrying on to other things it is well to quote it. It reads: ‘The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unrea- sonable séarches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants sha!! issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly de- scribing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.” ' It is apprehended that this provision has been more or less violated since Mr. Volstead came to town. On this subject the Philadelphia Ledger has said: “It doesn’t matter much whether congress agrees or disagrees on the Stanley amendment to the 1921 model Volstead act. Even the opinions of Senator Reed on the personal appearance and foreign accent of Andrew Volstead are of no more than passing in- terest. “What does matter is that congress should have wiggled, shied and covered into a position where it finds it necessary to reaffirm the great safeguards of the Fovrth amendment in passing legislation seeking to enforce the Eighteenth amendment. What has been happening to the courts that they have permit- ted the practices that the Stanley amendment would reforbid? “All this talk about what can and cannot be searched turns a sudden “light on what has been go- ing on. Everybody who has read the Constitution knows that’ searches and seizures of any kind of prop- erty anywhere can be made only upon sworn informa- tion describing the thing to be seized and the. place where it may be seized. “Certainly no official has a right to search an auto- mobile, a traveling bag, a home, store, office, ware- house or personal effects for anything unless the le- gal warrant for such search has been obtained upon sworn information. If this can be done, the Fourth amendment has somehow been repealed, presumably. by the Eighteenth. “Home brew may be very bad—some of it certain- ly is—but its existence is hardly so great an evil as the outlawing of one of the oldest rights of citizen- ship. The Volstead folks have been mightily troubled over disregard of the Constitution as exemplified in the Eighteenth amendment. Let them switch their regard for a little time to the Fourth. After all, there is something more to the Constitution than the Eight eenth amendment.” Po ele eA REP Pos THE KEY LOG IN THE JAM. Hon. Clarence C. Hamlin of Colorado Springs, for- merly 6f Wyorsleg, is down in Washington looking about and the Post’s interviewer caught him in his net and before he released him made him talk about the railroads, with this result: “Another great question which affects the country at this time is the railroad problem. As to that, the sooner it is out of the way, once and for all, the bet- ter it, will be for the country. It*has been referred to as the key log in our industrial jam. It has been pointed out that railroad purchases preceded the re- vivals of 1905, 1909 and 1912, and that the stoppage of railroad purchases was the forerunner of the de- pressions of 1907, 1910, 1913, and the depression of 1920. The railroads, which are the largest purchasers of products put out by our basic industries, are today hard pressed to meet theirurgent financial obliga- tions, to say nothing of finding the money necessary for upkeep and repairs. Transportation is so inter- woven with the industrial and commercial life of tne country that no considerable revival of business can be expected until the railroads are able to give pre- war service at pre-war rates. “However, railroad net earnings are showing sub- stantial improvements, and as the railroads have wait! ed a long time for the adjustment of their problems, which arose from government control, three or fou: months more in the settlement is not likely to make any great difference.” oan SA et THE SHIPPING VENTURE. At virtually the cost of one, the shipping board will close out to bidders the entire fleet of 285 wooden vessels built during the war and have done with an- other colossal blunder of the Wilson administration. The fleet has been parked down on the James river in Virginia somewhere between Old Point Comfort and Richmond and ever since they were completed and sent to their present moorings it has cost the people $600,000 a year to herd them and keep the bilge wa- ter pumped out to prevent sinking. The loss on the venture will be a matter of $200,- 000,000 on the original cost, and the country ought to be thankful that the loss was no greater. The shipping board experience and the airplane ex- perience will serve as reminders of the business judg- ment of a Demo¢ratic administration that we hope will never know a parallel in all future history.

Ac: cording to advices from the institution he is making rapid progress in the work. The Sweency school has an interna- tional reputation of being the largest trade school of its kind in the world. It was established in 1908 and since that date has successfully taught the automotive industry to 40,000 men. It now occupies an entire 10-story building in which is equipment alone valued at. $350,000.00. Some of the special features in this mammoth trade school for the sole use of its students are a dormitory, cafeteria, restaurant, medical infirmary, cloth- ing and drug stores, barber shop, san- itary showers, baths, swimming pool and recreation rooms. Mr. Rowland says he is well pleased with the Sweeney system ‘whereby he Is learning mechanteal work by. prac- tical work and actual experience un- der the personal supervision of compe- tent instructors. ——————____.

OTTAWA, Aug. 26—A_ strange| story of the course of justice in the Canadian northland which resulted in the-summary.execution of an Eskimo by. strangulation, has been brought here by the Royal Canadian Mounted Potioe. ’ ‘The victim of the- unwritten law, ohe “Alikak, was himself a murderer, police said, and adjudged by his fel- low villagers in Konghermuet, an Es- kimo colony. on the Py:nce Albert sound, as dangerous to the comménity. In the summer of 1919, the report reads, Ahkak murdered one Agluetuk. Shortly afterwards Ahkak made a hunting pact with Olepsekak by which they were to share fortunes and the wife of the former. In March, 1920, when the hunters returned to their base, the Eskimos of Konghermuet, both men and women ,met Ahkak. Seemingly aware of their intent, Ah- kak told them of a deer skin line out: side his hut which would serve their purpose. It was with this line that Ahkak was duly strangled and two Eskimos, charged with being chief. actors in the drama, were arrested last March by Corporal E. H. Cornelius and Con- stable J. Brockie of the Mounted Po- lice. They will be brought out for trial next spring.
