An undignified proceeding? Perhaps. But it represents the fight of the women a recognized place in the human scheme of things. They are fighting to save their self-respect. The courts of Kansas have assumed to tell their men that they can be compelled to work at wages fixed without their consent. Other men—of their own craft—los- ying principle involved and carried away by their feeling the miners themselves, have played into the hands of the eourts by taking the jobs which the Kansas miners refuse. The women are drag- ging these “interlopers” out. That is all : There isn’t, to the average eye, much that is dignified ‘about the life of a coal miner or a coal miner’s wife. What dignity there is is hidden @way in their hearts and minds. And that is the dignity of self-respect. However fortunate brothers and sisters they may be in worldly comforts; how little of culture and ease they may possess—they still hold fast to their inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; this no court can take from them. the undignified scramble across the Kansas plains is a rramble for dignity; a scramble to protect the freedom which these women believe is irs and which they are prepared to deferd to the death. One woman couldn’t hang Arbuckle so she hung the jury. Vacant heads are never rented. Where Many of Us Fail All sailors dread Rockall, most dangerous crag in the world. It's 260 miles north of Iretand. Tho it rises out of the sea like a black leeberg, and its exact blocs tion is known to all navigators, ships are constantly being wreck- ed on it, Rockall is symbolic of life. Most of us see everything except the obvious, That's why it's so hard to find anything “right under Your nose,” of which, “if it had teeth, would bite you" * Aviators stand a nerve test be- fore trying for an altitude record. Landlords don't need one. Buying Your Hat Back How much do you pay for your hats? A Seattle traveling sales man says his bats cost him about $10 apiece. He pays $4 for a new hat. Twice a day be has to check it when he cais in a hotel Tips average 10 cents each, to the hat checkers. The Star stands fourequare with the travelers and others who are conducting an organised cam- paign against that idiotic evil, the tipping system. If we corraled the horsepower wasted cussing congress it would de worth more than Muscle Shoals. ! What IsU.S. | to Do With Gold Flood?) BY AMATEUR ECONOMIST ‘The total amount of gold in the world is in the neighborhood _ of $19,000,000,000. This repre- gents very nearly the sum total Of all the gold mined and washed since its lure firet prompted the savage to save the glittering yel. low pebbles which he found in the river's sands. Other metals are mined, then used in commerce, where they Wear away and are lost. Gold, however, is carefully guarded and protected in every way, so | that the supply today represents » very nearly al) that has ever been found Never before in all history has the world paid tribute to any single nation as she is paying today to us. The stream of in- coming gold adds millions each day to the supply that already has flooded the vaults of our | treasury. If these gold pieces could talk, think of the tales they could tell! Undoubtedly some of this same gold glittered in the adorn. ment of Egypt's ancient queens: some of ft was treasured in As syria. and Babylon. It gilded Solomon's wonderful temple; it Was carried as tribute to ancient 4 Rome. Following its lure, the ’ Spanish conquistadors sacked ancient Mexico, destroyed the Inca nation, murdering and en- slaving its millions of people. For this same gold the renowned English buccaneers, Morgan and Drake, scoured the seven seas, sinking ships and plundering towns. For it our fathers crossed the continent with their ox teams in '49, and in "98 we opened Alas- ka’s treasure-chest and helped ourselves: At the present rate of import we will soon have one-half of the world’s supply here in the U If the nations owing us were to try to pay us in gold, all that they owe us, they would find that there was only about one 8. fourth enough. When the last gold piece by been paid we would still have coming some $15,000,000,000. It is most interesting to specu- late as to what is going to hap- pen during the next few years Is all the gold in the world coming to the U. 8.7 If it does, what will be the re- wult? Will not other nations have to establish some new standard of value? If they do, will our gold do us any good? Would we have to foliow their lead? If we have now all the gold that is of any use to us, how are we to stop the present importa? The economists and financiers of the world are doing some hard thinking along this line, and will probably seratch their heads for some time before these questions are settled. }ond day. | | my life would be worth too much to GOSPEL OF HARD WORK | BY DR.
