Strengthening this assertion come rumors of the remarks at least one man, made informally, that in the shop of which he is foreman, while the number of men employed men and becoming remaining cars unre- of is approximately normal, those men are of the lowest order of labor, and that more real work could be done by a few of the men now on strike than by the whole force. On the other side of this important question are the statements of some of the roads that they are employing skilled mechanics and that the effi- ciency of their is improving rapidly. If such is the case, and the situation obtains on a majority of the roads, the situation in regard to coal does not seem so desperate, The rail- roads are accused by labor cealing true facts as to the condition of equipment, however. And there the matter rests—the one matter which {s supremely important today Any concealing of the true facts by the rail executives should be de- nounced as as any attempt by labor to frighten public by propaganda hased on state- ments as to the dangerous conditiony of railroad equipment. shops of con- severely the untrue THE SOUTH END PARK. It is the plan of the park commis- slon to meek new bond {ssues from tima to time 8o that the proposed development of the South End, or ‘Willow Brook park, already begun, may be completed as rapidly as pos- sible. The plan is a wise one from the financial as well as the artistic and progressive points of view, provided “as rapidly as possib. be inter- preted as meaning ‘“speedily’. The benefits which will accrue to residents of the city from the devel- opment of this park are pretty well admitted. The plan has heen talked over and the wisdom of it determined. There {s enthusiasm back of it, and the completion of this development will be acclaimed. That matter hav- | ing been -em% there remains b'“i the orie as to how fast the work, and appropriations therefor, should be| pushed. Any city would consider ftself for- | tunate were it to have as one of its| public spirited citizens, willing to ad- | vise as to the best manner of r-nn-“ ducting its finances, a man of the reputation and abllity of Roger Bab- | son. He has gone on record in this| matter generally, and, in this case, his remarks previously cited here, are appropriate, It s a good time for municipalities to borrow money and make pre-determined public improve- | ments. He advises cities to do, in the next five years, work which they would ordinarily do in ten years. He goes s0 far as to advise borrowing money to be laid aside against a' of unemploymeat, it there is nt municipal work to ba done I the Willow Brook y ghould be pushed rapidly in accord ans for rk ance with the plan of the park com mission, THE COWARD'S P Relentless TALTY, remor: uncertainty, should haunt the human and fear, being nway, dread, who injures anothir runs leaving that othes perhaps to Such eriminal coward never hear charge “You killed a man" without realizing in the depths of his heart that the words may apply to him die should the Such {8 the person who strikes a or child, driving and passes on without waiting man, while his car woman to Nicted possible earn how serious is the injury in- and without giving any ald Situations arise always where it is possible for men to injure others, and escape facing the The injured person be alone and have no witnesses will perhaps fatally, consequences may able to take the number of the offend- Tk may be such that it is impossible for By the time the victim motorist may be many in some populous ing car. condition of the victim him to do so found the miles away, 1s lost city. But there is one penalty the guilty man cannot escape. It is the pepalty that will be {nflicted inevitably by his mind, his consciousness. It {s well to have all men know of that penalty, infinitely than which human beings may conceive or inflict; it is well to have all that where a fine may be pald, a prison sentence served, there is no way to quiet a conscience burdened forever, 15 long as life lasts, by the knowledge that its possessor has, perhaps, taken a4 human life and has not turned a hand to make reparation. Relentless remorse, fear, dread, uncertainty, the trembling of the body when a hand is placed on the shoulder unexpect- edly—all the anguishing, killing worry of these emotions will be the ever- lasting portion of the coward runs away. worse any reallze who SWEET SOVIET—AGAIN, Those who are {nclined to laud, the ‘love of the people” of the Russian Soviet, and its depar- ture from the evils of czarism, should note the little dispatch from Moscow stating that the central executive committee has denied the appeals of churchmen sentenced to death cause of their i{nterference with the “These sentimentally, be- seizure of church treasures. of the higher clergy,” the committee, “who have on crimes against the state under cover of the church and encouraged their followers to disregard the soviet de- crees, must pay the penalty.” 8weet Soviet which despises despot- This is an example of her hu- manity. At the time these treasures were being taken from tihe churches to aid the starving and distressed, comment was here made that possibly no more worthy use could be made of treas- ures devoted to decorathng the house of God than that of aiding the suffer- ing.

A dispatch from Lisbon says naive- ly: “A general strike is in effect here and the chamber of deputies has ap- proved suspension of the constitu- tional guarantees for a fortnight with the object of limiting the movement," 8o that is all wo have to do-—sus- pend the constitution—''with the ob- Jject ot limiting the movement. Let very simple! us, for instance, suspend "for a fort- | night” the constitutional gyarantee of every man to “life, llberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Suspend the laws which enforce those guarantees, of course. Then let the majority of the people—for a majority want coal to be mined and the rallroads to run—band together and kill off ail the rall executives who won't do everything the strikers ask, and kil | off all the strikers who ask anything more of the rall executives, There would be left in the country only rail | executives who would do anything the men wanted and men who would | do anything the remaining rail exec- | utives ask.

But—Ilet us remember there are con- titutional guarantees, and let us be ghty glad that no man and no na- tioy has the power or the strength t: suspend them in this country.

That is a total of nearly $1,000,000,000 of actual and contemplated expenditures in two years for the care of the war victims, On August 9, 1921, congress, acting on the recommendation of President Harding, merged the War Risk Insur- ance Bureau, certain divisions of the United States Public Health Service and units of the Federal Board for Vocational Education into one cen- tral bureau—the United States Vet- erans Bureau. Col. Charles R. Forbes of Seattle, Wash,, was ap- pointed director. The first effort of the bureau was to establish close contact with bene- ficiaries. Pressure was particularly exerted toward the transfer of vet- eran patients from contracts to gov- ernment owned hospitals. This work was hindered to a certain extent be- cause of lmitations incident to the consftuction of new hospitals and the purchase of those already in opera- tion. v Demand to Increase. The demand on the veterans’ bu- reau from war victims will necessar- ily Increase each year and medical authorities expect that the peak will not be reached for some years. These authorities estimate that nearly {1,-1 000,000,000 will be soen required an- nually for the proper care of men incapacitated while'serving under the flag. Senators point to this fact as one of the most insistent reasons why a $5,000,000,000 bonus bill for able bodied ex-service men should not be passed. ‘hey affirm that every cent avallnble?fi these days of heavy tax’ burdens should and must go toward the relief of the disabled. Director Forbes of the bureau will call on President Harding in the near future to urge adoption of a new pol- icy for the treatment of tubercular and mental veteran patients, The director sald he was convinced that he thought this class of patients need some other kind of institution rather than a hospital. Mr. Forbes de- clared he would suggest to the pres- fdent advisabllity of turning some of the present hospitals into training centers especlally adapted to treat- ment of tubercular and mental suf- | ferings. The program of the veterans' bu- reau for the present year contem- plates the ecrection of twelve large hospitals for disabled veterans. Work on some of these projects is actually under way-and Col, Forbes stated yes- terday that the hospital program will be well undenfway before fall, and nothing can interrupt the work from advancing steadily until the institu- tions are completed, The location and size of these hospitals are as fol- lows: Tupper lLake, N.

Green, ass ant prosecuting attorney, announced vesterday, that they removed the body of Mrs. C. H. Fairchild in Oc- tober, 1919, from the Drummond Is. land cemetery. According to the statement fi by the assistant prosecutor, leged removal was made to permit Mrs. Knudson to sell certain organs of the body to an unnamed physician, Mrs. Fairchild having died of a pe. cullar disease. Officers are attempt. ing to locate the physician. Green declared the alleged confes- sion detailed a plan to take the body to Canada, place it in a house and burn the structure. Instead, accord. ing to the purported confessions, the body was reburied in a shallow grav along the shore of Drummond I land, where it was uncovered a few weeks later by dogs. Chippewa coéunty officers express the opinion a surgeon assisted in rg- moval of the organs of the body. Mrs. Knudson .and her brother were arresfed in Wisconsin a week ago and brought to the county jafl here. L ARMY TO GET PURE WATER Engineer Laboratory Devises New Mobile Purification Unit.
