The small towns that en- ter objection to the local option end of the bill: th question do so because they claim the larger cities will draw, their population away on Sunday nights. The one best argument ad- vanced against that proposition runs after this fashion: If the millionaires and fabulpusly wealthy people of small towns are enabled to speed in their motors to clubs and other places of amusement on Sunddy and still be within' the law, the laboring man should: be allowed .the privilege of visiting the nearest moving picture house with his wife and family and Rhere spending a dquiet evening. By this method of seeking entertainment, —especially when the_ picture houses must clos¢é down by ten o'clock Sun- days,—workmen dré insured of clear mlndq and steady | bodiés . to begin work with on Monday morning.

What they feel against the Imperial German Government, the directors of the Hohenzollern dynasty, is a differ- ent thing. Any hatred here is dlrecte-’ against the men who have so shut their eyeés to humanity as to order the murder of innocent men and womgn on the high séas, without warning, without exercising the right of visit and search of merchast:ships. It does not require .very much in- telligence to know that Ge 1y s now vidlating international laws in. the continuance of its ruthless sub- marine policy against neutral ships. The United States has suffered more injury and insult during the past two vears than any other nation on the globe would have tolerated for a like period. The present European war was brought about for a much smaller offense than the sinking of the Lusitania, The murder 3™ an arch-duke and his wife can in no way be compared with the gravity of a sin like the Lusitania crime. Two lives lost were as nothing in compari- son’ with an entire .boat-load of men, women and children sent to the bot- tom of the Atlantic. Nor is the Lusi- tania the sole case against Germany. Yet the United States did mot grasp that Incident as an excuse to go to war{ On the contrary, the American government, guided by its President, held off as long as possible. It argued with Germany: it secured pledges frem the Impcrial Govern- ment,—all.to no avail. Every promise was broken: Now, the limit of pa- tience has been reached. Whatever happens in the future cannot be dharged to the door of the United States. History will vindicate what- ever action_this -~ government - takes.

The people are bound to- strive for a fundamental solution of any difficuity which may arise.” The newspaper traces the history of anti-Japanese legisiation and says that the Washington government would point to the power of the individugl states and its inability to control, though it might influence, state ac- tlon. - It continues: ““The Japanese nation . understands thp viewpoint of the Washington gov- ermment but should the constant oc- cutrence of such undesirable legisla- tiop, to which there seems no end, be Jeft unquestioned we fear it would sraduslly estrange the relations be- twen'the two ceuntries to & point ap- chances.— | DALLY ‘COURT LEAGUE HEAD .

CHICAGO 'WOMEN RIOT, Attack Kosher Butchers and Destroy Their Provisions. . Chicago, March 30.—Hundreds of policemen were detailed today to pra- tect the meat markets and groceries in the west side, which were attacked yesterday by angry crowds, composed mostly of women, who protested against the high prices of food. Armeg with stones and with kero- sene which they pdured over meat, the women attacked the kosher butchers, who, they said, were chiefly responsible for the high . prices. Windows were shattered and hun- dreds of pounds of foodstuffs de- stroyed. Women who entered the shops to make purchases were seized, their clothing torn and their parcels taken from them and thrown into the street. More than fifty arrests were made.
