N + H | Prohibition and (Copyright, 1919, On the Issue of Americanism There Can Be No Compromise Organized Labor BY DR. FRANK CRANE by Frank Crane The other day a great crowd gathered at the National Capital to protest against prohibition, There were representatives of Organized |Labor, for these reasons: (1) Organized ‘Labor contains a large number of those whose “craft is in danger,’ such as bar- tenders, brewery hands, and the like. (2) It is more responsive to appeals that are addressed to the desire for more pay and better working conditions than to any sort | of an ideal. (3) It is composed largely of men who are not very far removed from Europe in their habits and’ modes of thought. -Organized Labor made a mistake when ‘it opposed Prohibition, which will be the | best friend the workingman and his family | (accent on the family) ever had. It made this mistake because all along it has lacked | vision. 20g ¥ | Samuel Gompers is a very able man and | has been of inestimable benefit to his group and to the nation. But he has the same trouble Woodrow Wilson has. He is a | partisan. He considers himself the repre- entative of the Federation of Labor. He is. Just as Wilson has the idea that he is {responsible to the Democratic Party. He is. But the U. 8.

But the Class that has helped Labor most is that despised Class known as the Bour- geoisie. That is, the Class that don’t belong to any Class, that think for themselves, that are honest, just and square, that do things | because they are Right, and not because they get some advantage from it. Charles Henry Melzer, in a recent article in the North American Review, called at- tention to the immense significance and real power of this unorganized “intermediate” mass of our citizenry. Political Parties are selfish, so are Labor Organizations, Churches, Lodges, Clubs, and ‘all other groups. They have to be. It is nothing against them, for it is simply the instinct of self-preservation. The only Unselfish Class, the only Class that can and does respond to an Ideal, that can do a thing because it is Right whether | it pays, hurts or not, is the Class that is no Class at all. It includes the clerks, business | men, teachers, preachers, lawyers, physi- | cians, servant girls, stenographers, farmers, and store keepers. These are the backbone of the country, or rather the only dependable Soul and Con- science of the country. It is this Class, that is no Class at all, that put Prohibition across. It is these that Congressmen are afraid of. They cannot organize processions and mass meetings and | such quick demonstrations. But they can | vote. y They have said Alcohol must go. And \*it must go.

It will help to protect rose@ and other plants, like currant and gooseberry bushes, from mildew. If you have a crimson rambler rose, by all means give it an occasional dusting with pow- dered sulphur, Dusting the potatoes helps to control early blight, and a combination of dry arsenate of lead and sulphur in equal parts makes an effective all-around garden protector, being both an insecticide | and a fungicide, It is fairly effective even in keeping the striped beetle and the flea beetle away from the melons, the cucumbers and the squashes. -”.

Keeping Up With the Joneses” is the title of the comic strip for Star readers, which will make’ its nce in a few days. . The Joneses are social climbers, who set the e for Ma and poor perplexed and henpecked Pa of comic strip. Ma wants to do everything the Joneses ‘Tegardless of Pa’s comfort or the state of his pocket- If Mrs. Jones comes out in a camouflage bathing it, Ma does likewise, and probably poor Pa is required adorn himself in like manner, much to his discomfort. ' The situation provides no end of fun. It is a daily medy, reflecting human nature. There was a time when comic strip artists relied upon age-old slapstick tricks to entertain their followers. Now the comic strip artists tell a story every day— bit of life carefully and artfully exaggerated. Harvard professor, not long ago, was quoted as laying that many of the comic strip artists would some yy be counted among the great humorists of the genera- n gia of drawing a comedy every day! That’s what y do. “Keeping Up With the Joneses” is one of the best strips in America. The Star is pleased to be able to present this new and wholesome feature to its readers. Villa realizes that he must behave with circumspec- tion, else we may chase him a few miles or even kill off a few of his ignorant followers? The Kirkland Ferry Route A shorter route from Kirkland to the downtown dis- of Seattle has been proposed for the King county It ought to be adopted. The proposed run is from and°to the south end of Lake Union instead of to on park as at present. The shorter the distance the er—and the more economical for the ferry. Also, omi blackface make- up between acts of “Attaboy.” “You know that dandy speech I pull about Theda Bara?” he said. “Nobody made that up. We first heard it on the wet special train that leaves Washington ev- ery day for Bal- timore.” This the Theda Bara speech that Tinney murmurs and splutters along in and always wins a big laugh: “Yes, I like the moving pictures. I go to see Theda Bara * * * Yes, I go to see her every day (Slight ripples of laughter).

(Shrieks of laughter; audi- ence refuses to subside for two minutes). “Our military jokes, the good ones, all came from our army camps,” said Tinney, One speech always gets a laugh. It is spoken slowly in a trench scene, with the stage dark and the German guns booming. Tinney tells the commanding officer: “The Germans will never come where I AM. ° * * They might come where I WAS.” Another army joke that goes big is when Tinney is asked, “Were you drafted?" he replies: “I don't know that they missed any. * * but I wasn't drafted,” and then in tone of having had @ great distinction bestowed on him, “General Crowder selected me.” (Storm of laughter.) eee is .

In 1916 on the 9th of July, the German submarine Deutschland arrived in Chesapeake Bay after @ voy- age of 16 days from the island of Heligoland. The Deutschland, a merchant submarine 315 feet in length, was the first submarine to make the voyage from Europe to America thru an enemy fleet. On her return trip to Germany she carried a cargo of rubber and metal from Baltimore and again, safely running the British blockade, arrived at the mouth of the Weser river in Germany on Aug. 23, after a 22 days’ voyage. “AND GOD TOOK HIM” a BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE Staff Writer for The Star on Religious Topics. “Bnoch walked with God,” Daily, in quiet places, where they could be alone— away from the noise and the bustle of the crowd, And one evening Enoch took a longer walk than usual and God said to him: “It is late, Enoch, and it’s a long way back, You'd) better come along with me—all the way—it's nearer to my home than to yours.” And God took him. It's a beautiful story Enoch was an old man. And I guess he was tired. And, as the days advanced, he took longer walks with God—until he was invited to “come home,” where he belonged. Whatever else this may teach men, it's a picture of the normal life. As good men grow older, their grip on the things of the earth loosens, and their view of heaven widens. And they come to know God better, And some day, as they “walk with God," He will take them home, so that where He is, there they may be also, And “death” loses its sting. victory. “Death” is merely the new life—where God is, Miracles BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE Do I believe in the miracied sign As wrought by the ancient prophet? The miracled water turned to wine That the wedding-guest might quaff it? Miracled fishes and loaves of bread, And Lazarus miracled bask from the dead, Or any miracle heard or read? Well, pray you, why should I scoff it? And the grave its departure for the and home, For I loomeup thru my miracle eyes To the miracle skies above me, Then I look at you and I realize A miracle for and of me.
