There was not a home that wholly escaped its debasing ond destroying force; it crossed every threshoid even more cruelly than the deep shadow of death; every prison was crowded with its victims; every gallows was the altar of its sacrifices; every ruined household the scene of its tragedies.

The president has chosen the four members who will compose the American delegation to the Wash- ington conference on disarmament to convene in November. With all due respect to the many distin- guished men in American public life the country will instantly agree that there are none more illustrious and better qualified to speak for the American peo- ple and interpret their aspirations than Charles Evans Hughes, Elihu Root, Henry Cabot Lodge and Oscar W. Underwood. They are representative of the best in citizenship, patriotism and service to the people. They are the highest type of Americanism. They have the wisdom and the force, the breadth of view. There selection is ideal. The world looks to America for leadership. It is flattering to the pride of the American people that in so important a conference to the human family as the Washington convention the great republic is to lead the way with Hughes, Root, Lodge and Underwood. a ANSWERS THE CALL. There was joy in Russia when an American kitchen was set up in Petrograd and rice pudding, cocoa and hot rolls were passed out to the famished children. There was rejoicing in Moscow when a train of 18 car louds of food arrived from America to relieve the dire need of the people. Away over in the Volga re- gion at Kazan and Samara there was thanksgiving as women and children snatched for food to stay the pangs of starvation. All over the distressed empire American supplies are making their way in spite of bad roads and poor transportation. American agents are finding and re- lieving distress as only American agents can. Backed by a complete distribu organization and an inex- haustible stream of supplies America is reducing fam- ine conditions and gi e world a lesson in hu- manitarianism and Christian duty as well as an ob- ject lesson in transportation and distribution. Se NE eS BECAUSE OF SEX. Every once in a while there is a great to do by some person or organization to appoint a woman on this board or that board or to this position or that position, or to go farther to create a department to be placed in charge of a woman, These things are done for no other reason than ‘be- cause she is a woman. Not because of any special qualifications or fitness. Not because of anything she could or would do of benefit, but solely because of her sex. All of which may be dismissed as bunk, There is need in this country, and for that matter the world over, for all the outstanding talent, regard- less of sex, the world can supply, but it must be real and able to perform the tasks the world sets. Marked ability is in greater demand today than ever in the world’s history, but the world is not thirst- ing to place woman in charge of its affairs simply be- cause of her sex. If she does not measure up with the male of the species she-may epect to be assigned to minor place in the advancing procession. SNR cil A FALLEN IDOL. From a country boy in Kansas, with a talent for fun making, Roscoe Arbuckle rose to unexpected heights and divided honors with Charlie Chaplin, in American public esteem. He has cheered hundreds of thousands and sent them home better and more ami- able citizens. He could have continued to scatter sun- shine for years to come and retired from the screen rich, popular and respected. But success and public plaudit turned his head. The wealth he won made a fool of him, because he em- ployed it in obtaining what his kind is pleased to call new thrills. He led the dissolute life and became the hero to immoral escapades upon both coasts. He staged one party too many and today occupies, a felon’s cell with a charge of murder against him, the victim of his cowardly act, a woman. Tbe public is as unanimous in its condemnation of him as it was formerly enthusiastic in receiving his screen offerings; and picture theaters throughout the country have cancelled his productions permanently if he is proven guilty, and temporarily if he can clear himself of the charge against him. The moral tone of the moving picture colony in California is reputed not to be high, but a brutal mur- der following a drunken orgy ought to be sufficient to shock the sensibilities for a time at least. SA A THE SECURITY OF THE HOME. While there is no real danger of congress even abol- ishing or liberalizing the prohibition laws of the coun- try the whole question is receiving quite an amount of attention. These columns have carried opinions by eminent men and leading newspapers who have taken opposite views. It has heen done for the sole purpose of showing that there is a diversity of opinion and to present to readers the arguments sustaining them. We have lately given the views of Hiram Maxim and others who coincide with him. The New York Mail expresses its opinion in the. following, which is an opinion of some strength: “ ‘No rogue e’er felt the halter draw with good opin- ion of the law.’ In the same sense all bootleggers and many who unwittingly sympathize with their practices wre united just now in a chorus of denunciation of the snti-liquor-selling law because of the opportunity police courts were crowded with Sunday drunkards, when every resort to \ hich you brought your family for an outing was made impossible by the presence of drunken men and women. “Recall that picture of the recent past, recall all that you personally know of the tragedies of the liquor-selling days; take the lighest phase of that hor- rible past and contrast it with the worst that can be charged aguinst law-enforcing officers; then, in the quiet of your own conscience, ask yourself where you stand as between the two. “There never was such hypocrisy as this cry from the saloonists to protect the rights of citizens in their homes from unwarranted search and seizure. These new-found advocates of the Constitution never knew law or morals in the days when they were in contro! of legislatures and congress; when they arrogantly dictated to governors, senators and mayors whether they would or would not be kept in officé; when de- cent citizens kept far from the saloonist’s corner be- cause he feared a knife in the back or a pistol shot from the dark. “The men who until the anti-liquor selling law was enacted brought more tragedies and sadder tragedies into human life than all other influences are the men who now seek to delude unthinking people into fear that their constitutional rights are being violated— that their homes are in peril of the law. Here and there senators and congrersmen are used as stage- dressing in this last desperate effort to drive a wedge in the anti-liquor-selling law; but back of those dummy figures stand the real sponsors of the move- ment—the saloonists.” ———o DICTATORSHIP UNDESIRABLE, The necessity of eradicating radical and dangerou: labor leaders from employment in industrial concerns and from places of power in labor organizations has long been felt by employers and by thé ‘public. . Pub- lic opinion is against these disturbers. They are un American and ont of harmony with the spirit and in stitutions of the country. Mr. Gompers contribute nothing to the improvement of things in peddling mi» leading statements couched in high-sounding phrascy such as embellished his recent Atlantic City addre=: when he said: “It is not fair, it is not wise, to at tempt to crush the labor movement, so thoroughly hi: manitarian, so thoroughly patriotic, so willing to giv service—to attempt to crush that movement betwe the upper millstone of employers’ antegonism and mis- representation and the :fether millstone of revolution and sovietism.” “Lem'me carry KELLOGG’S, Jack!

Big folks and little folks will say ‘‘Kellogg’s, please, mother!” , Leave it to their tastes—and yours! Prove out all we say! For, Kellogg’s ‘Corn Flakes are a revelation in flavor; a revelation in all-the-time crispness! Don’t just ask your “grocer for ‘‘corn flakes.” That brings you most anything! Say KELLOGG’S CORN FLAKES—and you'll get Kel- : logg’s! They’re wonderful! And no restric- Admittedly with plausible sound, but like most of Mr. Gompers’ pronouncements will bear analysis. No such thing as an effort to crush labor exists nor any movement of Jabor that is humanitarian, pa- triotic or willing to give service. The laborers of the country taken as a whole are humanitarian, patriotic and willing to give service. So far as we know, or anyone else knows, no one ever asserted the contrary. Mr. Gompers, is therefore setting up a bogey man in order to assume a heroic role in knocking him down. His effort is to create the inference that the purpose to check the influence of certain radical leaders is an attack upon the humanitarian, patriotic and faithful workers of the country. The aims and objects of the public and the employers are too well understood and widely known, for anyone to be deceived by such sub- terfuge. There are certain facts, of which the people of this country are well aware. Among them are these: Many labor leaders foment trouble and make unjust claims in behalf of labor in order to strengthen them- selves with their organizations. During the war many labor leaders encouraged workmen to shirk on their jobs, particularly in shipyards and on government work. Those leaders are today striving to secure the perpetuation of working rules which iequire the rest of the country to pay for service not rendered or to pay exorbitant rates for services rendered outside of regular working hours. The leaders who do these things are not actuated by humanitarian or patriotic motives. They are not giving service in any true sense. Whatever contest is being waged in the country is not against the labor movement—not against humani- tarian purposes—not antagonistic to patriotism. It is aimed solely at those radical labor leaders who would assume dictatorship over industry and who, in order] to gain that dictatorship, would threaten to tie up the transportation system regardless of the suffering or loss of property and life that would ensue. Mr. Gompers seems to assume that what he calls the labor movement is the only humanitarian, patriotic and serving moyement in the United States. He over- looks the farmers who were wnable to get help to care for their crops for a period uf about three years. He overlooks the hundreds of thousands of small house- holders who were unable to get a repair job done at a reasonable price if radical labor is allowed to fix the wage scale and rules of work.‘ He overlooks the producers and consumers who pay the cost of trans- portation, All of these are just as humanitarian, pa- triotic and willing to serve as are the four millions for: whom Mr. Gompers assumes to speak. If there is any crushing done, it will be done by the hundred million, and it is safe to assert that they will not use their ul- timate power fo impose unjust terms upon the four million. All the hundred million ask is a square deal, and they will not be diverted from their purpose by talk about crushing hunmianitarian and patriotic move- ments. Every just demand of labor will be upheld, but there will be no permanent dictatorship by radi- cals, who happen to be in positions of power. pe It is only by Jabor that thought can be made healthy and only by thought that labor can be made happy; it offers for violation of the fourth amendment to the and the two cannot be separated with impunity.— Ruskin. = Will Furnish More Heat for Less Money Than Any.
