So they will have another trial in another hamlet of West Virginia and scores of witnesses will be brought in for a prolonged comedy of justice at tremendous cost to the taxpayers and to the United Mine Workers of America: } Mh, no, it is not just Blizzard who is on trial. If Blizzard were fighting alone, he would have been hustled off to prison long ago. But it happens that Blizzard has behind him the strength of the United Mine Workers, who by reason of their numbers, can afford to hire legal talent, to bring witnesses to trials, and to see generally that Blizzard gets a square deal, These trials, which drag on year after year in West Vir- ginia, are not to mete out justice at all. They are the bat- tle grounds between the coal mine operators, who run West Virginia, and the miners’ union. Their object is to exhaust the funds of the United Mine Work It costs much r to hire lawyers and transport witnesses, This is a happy means of fighting the unions, from the operators’ point of view. The operators’ lawyers are used by the prosecution. They are on the state’s payroll. The operators’ witnesses are produced at state expense, be- cause theoretically the state is supposed to prosecute all murderers. So all the operators had to do was convince the state Officials that Blizzard was a criminal. That was pasy, in view of the fact that the operators run the state, Re- peatedly, the states’-operators’ attorneys have failed to convict Blizzard, but just as often and once oftener the states’-operators’ attorneys trumped up new charges, brought new trials in new and hard-to-reach villages, and the mockery of justice went on. It will go on as long as the United Mine Workers’ money holds out. The miners say that will be until the operators give up their attempt to jail union men. Thus West Virginia doles out her dollar marked justice, Wouder if Mrs. Harding forgot to stop the newspaper before she went Away with Warr While wheat makes flour, wheat prices don't make flour prices.

If God had designed that His intelligent creatures should travel at the frightful speed of 15 miles an hour by steam, He would clearly have foretold it thru His holy prophets. It is a device of Satan to lead immortal souls down to hell.” One might sty a Spokane fireman who rescued a Itile girl climbed the ladder to fame. 3 They are using rye for money in Saxony, the rich, of course, having ao pocket full of rye.

The “Winnings” at Lausanne Well, our job of “observing” at the Lausanne peace conference is finished. Our “observer” will presently de- liver a long-winded report, which we now proceed to con- dense and ‘publish in advance, to wit: The Turks, united by defeat in the big war, have won all they were after from the allies, divided by victory. Turkey is admitted to the league of nations on an “equality” basis. Foreign troops and warships get out of Turkey. Foreigners in Turkey must submit to Turkish courts. “Exchange of populations,” as between Greeks and Turks, will proceed, regardless. The allies get a Turk promise of peace! The American diplomats remain at Lausanne to ar- range a separate Turco-American treaty. We will later on be able briefly to inform the reader as to how much apple the Turks leave on the core for Uncle Sam, if any.

Some Psychology for Landlords The shady side of the street is the more popular side for women’s establishments, as every experienced merchant knows, comments Frank S. Slosson of Chicago. Easy to understand, just a case of following the line of least re- sistance—comfort. Slosson, addressing building owners and managers, also claims: “It is well known that women will walk down to a basement more readily than will men.” This trait probably was acquired thru generations of women going down cellar to get canned fruit, potatoes, etc. But give the men time, Frank. A generation of going down cellar to inspect the home brew-may work wonders with the men. Here's good news. Young m will control the next congress, No- body controlled the Last.

A practical joker printed ads in European papers, falsely claiming that the Russian soviet would pay 250,000 rubles apiece for cats to fight the rat menace in the Don valley. Result: Cats are disappearing in Europe, thie steal- ing and shipping them to Moscow and Petrograd. This news is brought by Vladimir Gezikavitch, Russian tallow merchant. He says crates of $ are piling up by the thousands in Moscow, and filling the air with their meowings. However, it’s an ill wind, etc. Russian fur merchants tay they can use the cats. | our | ter , THE LOOKS BAD FOR LETTERS 52 EDITOR Authority Respect for Editor The Star | street from the 10th avenue tb An A grandmother, could I ray) over to the Stadium, “All th k esident Sumlin wishing a vanee dads Ai oach to the campus, is the about the youth of this mode said one ma t of his prope government authority. | high price a thru the Just last week I was visiting in| council a bill condemning # half me real They do seem to lack respect ate wants to unload some and those lota.

Repeated testsin the lab- re oratory and on the road have shown that Zerolene enables the average car to go from 25% to 50% farther before valve-grinding and carbon-removal operations are necessary. Also, tests show that Zerolene, hav ing the right body atall operating tem- peratures, maintaining constantly a perfect piston seal, and giving better lubrication continuously, enables the Zerolenelubricated automobile toav- erage 5% better gasoline mileage thar when other oils are used.
