The Herald s on sale 's News News Stand, Grand Central, 42nd Street Los Angeles, Cal.: Arcado Station, T e S e S A L e A PECULIAR ARGUMENT Just as the Herald referred editori- ally, in a complimentary way, to an editorial in the New York Times favoring the league of nations, the Hartford Courtant was criticizing the same editorial adversely. The Courant quotes the following from the Times: “An American 1s always present (at League sessions) either to observe for our government, or to do unomelallyi what 1t is not permitted to do in an| officlal way.” “It strikes ‘The Cour-| ant'/’ the Hartford newspaper goes on in ifs comment, “that this is what | the country wants. We do not want to | be in the League of Nations, subject to the orders of others; but we do! want to help all we can, and are ready 2o do 0. * * * Certainly we are will- ing to help, and are helping, but we do it because we want to, not because we are ordered to by others” | 8o the Courant’ believes the coun- try wants to do “unofficially what it is not permitted to do officially.” That is what it says, Just sort of hang about, listening and watching, ready to act | but ready to take no re-ponllhlllty—; willing to do what it wants to do, | when it wants to, just because it wants to do.it and not for any other | reason, | “But we do iL,” says the Courant, | “because we want to, not because we are ordered to by others.' | That may be the Courant's idea of the sort of stand a nation should take. It may believe that our country, us a member of the League, would be ordered about by Sthers, How do you get that way, ancient friend? As people with vision see the world | it is a vast organization, the units of which are nations made up of individ- uals, A prosperous, happy world | would come only from prosperous na- tions the individuals of each being happy and prosperous through, barmony of action, each pointing to-: ward peace and idealism. As long as | This insures pro- al and dsily in New Stand, Tim Entrance | 1 some trouble with a tooth. { himself to be convinced that it mations are at swords points there may no more be a happy, prosperous world than there could be a prosper- | ous organization of individuals were that organization to contain members which did things "because they want- | od to” and for that reason only, | The sophistry of the reasoning of fhe Courant results from its mistaken | statement of the hypothesis. It as- sume that whatever the United States | @id it would do because it was “or- dered to” do it. One may well belleve | 0 states’ rights without denouncing allegiance to the United States gov- ernment. One may well advocate the adherence by the United States to the League of Nations under reservations which would protect our sovereign pights. There will never be world peace, prosperity producing world wnity, as long as there obtains the! Courant's theory of doing things only Beeause one wants to do them.

If, however, he forgot all about the tooth or, when he did think of it, allowed was getting on all right, his treatment would make the abscess disappear, The man would probably have kept on worrying about that tooth, which did not ache except in that grumbling, general way we all know of, but something else came up that made him forget all about it and not worry about it.

A mind free from worry helps the body to hold onto its strength—and disease has a hard time fighting a strong, healthy body. ‘ A GREAT BLACK CLOUD The man who wants to get at the facts disclosed in the Daugherty in- vestigation has a difficult time of it. He reads the testimong of the former wife of Jesse Smith, Attorney General Daugherty's friend with a desk in the department of justice and who at times lives in the house with Daugherty, ,and finds her repeating stories and declaring that she heard her husband, 8mith, talking of “theie” deals, and of what “we" did. “They" and “we,” she insists, refors to Smith and Daugherty. Never by name does she say Smith spoke of Daugherty; her Influence, possibly correct, was that the attorney general and Smith were meant. And if such is the case her evidence was damaging not only to the attorney general but alse to the system which allows such transactions to go on without objection. Then comes Gaston B, claring that he acted as a go-between, and pald over large sums of money to Smith. The previous testimony, added to that of Means, shows a close con- nection betw Daugher- ty. Read through all Mcans' testimony but one allegu- same Means, de- n Smith and and there scems to be tion that may be followed up as some- thing tangible, from such testimony there black hangs over although arises a great cloud of suspicion that the department of justice istered by Attorney General Daugher- ty. That one tangible statement is that Emith $100,000 government Airerafnt as admin- he, Means, gave for someone else, to stop the prosecution of the Standard company which, it is said, was over- paid by a matter of some $6,500,000 while the war was in progress.

It is suggested as stated at the end of the editorial which follows: look Mack in 1916 congress passed a law forbidding child labor. A southern cotton mill made a test case of one of s juvenile em- ployes, Reuben Dagenhart, dnd succeeded in having the act de- elared uncanstitutional by a b to 4 vote of the supreme court teuben Dagenhart has been back at work in the cotton mills ever since, Lowell Mellett looked Ieuben up a while ago and told in the Scripps papers what the supreme court had done to Reu- ben. .

He is wholly uneducated, because he has been at work since childhood, and has had no time for school, This old-young man is physically and mentally undersized, stunted and burned out. How much good will the child be, that is sired by such stock? Nine old men with splendid hair-splitting brains sat in Wash- ington.

Mr. Newton's address was interesting and undoubtedly truthful and wccurate us far as it went, but| the Observer believes that, taking | only one side of the story, Mr, New- ton, inadvertently gave the impression here that an anthracite miner's life is one of those “flowery beds of case,” which are heard about in hym- | nals, and that the reason they take 80 mary days off is because they are making so much money they must have time to spend it Mr, Newton's talk was confined to | “ Jarge extent to contract miners, | who do make gpod money, but he | carefully avolded explaining the dan- | gers of contract mining, or uny ref-| crence to compuny miners. | As a striking contrast to the ad-| | dress made by Mr, Newton, the Ob- | E presents herewith extracts | from the report fqr the year 1923 | made by Mine Inspector B, 1, ans, | an official clected by the people, for | one single district” §¢ Central Penn- sylvania, for the year 1923, | Mr, Evans, who is ene of the most xpert mining engineers in Penusyl- | vania, shows in hig report that in nine | collieries, operating mines, within | a radius of a few miles, there were men Killed and 64 injured in one | year. He showed that, there are 387 under 21 years of age em- ployed underground and 587 more employed at the collieries above ground betyween the ages of 14 and 21, His report says that in an annual production of 3,421,648 tons, there was one fatal accident inside (under- ground) for evbry 146,579 tons pro- duced #nd one fatal accident outside (ubove ground) %or every 148,767 to produced. | here was one fatal accident dur- | ing the year for every 281 persons cmployed. In the same proportion to the number of people cmployed and | the size of the population affected, this would mean in New Britain about 47 men killed in factories in one year. Inside the mines there was one non-fatal aceident during the year for every 7% men and boys em- ployed, - During the year in this one dis- trict, the central polnt of which is a town of 17,000 people, Mr. Evans re- ports 10 wives made widows and 11 children became orphans in one small district in 12 months. 1t was necessary to operate 33 large is, (these fans run anywhere from 10 to 20 feet in diameter) h\l server order to force air into the mines so men could breathe while working. In | addition to thes fans there also were 23 lary ir compressors wark~| ing for the same purpose. H Of the 29. mines in operation, 18 | of them contain dangerous explosive | gases, making it necessary for men to | work with safety lamps and making it impossible to strike matehes or smoke while working. This report applies to a total of 6,656 employes, as compared to approximately 20,000 in New Britain factories. ewton created a hypothe- | size of New Britain and said there were 67 people killed in lo factoties in a year and about 200 seriously injured, that ail of thera worked in dark places, with | insufficient light, that some of the was was that of the deadly black damp which works quietly and effec- tively similar to the ecarbon mon- oxide gas from automobiles, that the men worked in wet muddy places with | pools and ditches of water under their ‘ feet and water dripping through the | roof overhead, he would have made us | realize the situation. _Had he stated that the place where | these men and boys work wunder- | worke: Had Mr. Ivania prohibit | nfiderground, mistake the taking of had he shown 15 ¢ the setting oif of a blast may mean L & Tartar,” SR | the lives of scores, had he told of the numerous times men have been im- prisoned by a “fall of top,” for days land wecks, or crushed into shapelcss when the overhead structure The most irritating sign of the times MOSt disagreeable nights of the year |suddenly slipped, he would have been' giving the other side of the story. Mr. Newton did not state that the contract miners who seem to be so well paid, usually are engaged in the which in plain English simply means that they are taking out the support of the surface at the risk of their lives and the companies pay high rates to these contractors because they can't hire men any other way to do the work Mr. Newton should ascertain why the young men of the coal regions ins | leave home and why coal miners are | had sud. not satisiied for some vague reason, or why there is general that region. Probably it is nothing the operators can remedy. Assuredly there exists the non-resident owner- ship which makes for lack of gx)?n- pathy, to employees. Few coal operators, and some la- bor agitators, know little from ex- perience of what the miner is up against. He may be a bolshevik, but slightest |if he is, he is raised in a bolshevik | environment. Another thing Mr. Newton made no mention of-—the ‘“badge of a miner.” One who .has lived in the coal fields can always pick a miner. Few there are who do not show on their faces i1y rash guess, but we will leave it to somewhere those tell-tale blue streaks or marks indicating that some time or another they have figured in an explosion and coal dirt has been blown into their faces by gunpowder | and dynamite, while the medical treatment they received was from amateur first aid men at the mines Nor did he say anything of miner’s inheritance, known as “m er's asthma,” a form of tuberculos caused by gas, damp air and some- times too much compressed air, which sends many miners coughing and hacking to their graves, when should be in the prime of life, figures of asthma vietims do not find thein w into mortality reports at the mine ¢« s “Scratch a landlord and you'll find said Bill Bumps as he lounged back in his chair and began to engineer his gold plated tooth pich which some aldmiring fricnds had given him, Yep, they're most of same, Just look at what doin' in New Britain right Boostin’ the rents, many of them, and puttin’ good tenants out on the street because the tenants refuse to buy the them the they're now, | house and hand it back to them every |javish with menth, “Rent raisin’ is something like the measles,, It just spreads and spreads until every landlord is scratchin’ for a larger income, The way some of them break out is a cuution, That gent named Shylock* which William Shakespeare wrote a piece about had a heart as big as West PPeak com- pared to some of the people who think they should stop work for life just as soon as they get their first pay ment put down on a three decker, If it is possible for the dead to know what is going on in the world of the living, Shylock must be whirling around in his grave like a turbine.

The best story about a landlady I have heard in many a day reached my ears this morning. It seems that the wife of a landlord in a certain section of the | city is extremely jealous of any atten- i tions shown one of her tenants., So in roder to show her authority she went to the tenant the other day and isaid: ‘If you let your little boy play |this summer with the little boy next door you'll have to move,’ It hap- pens that the voungster is only five |years old, so I can see where moving is far off. You may think that story is made up, but it's the gospel jtruth because I know the parties con- erned. “You can always” tell a landlord who has never had anything hefore |in his life.
