PAGE 8 ttle Star bitehin a My Shooting Into a Crowd The policemen had better be deprived of their entirely and made to depend on their ubs and their fists than that Wednesday afternoon's shooting of by standers be repeated Under no circumstances could the use of a gun by a pursuing officer in a thronging busines: treet be justi- fted. The wounding of somebody other than the fugitive would be almost certain to result, This is not a drunken frontier mining camp. Better that the already pedestrian be safeguarded, even tho dozens of shoplifters run away, than that all the shoplifters be captured and one innocent citizen be wounded pistols precarious existence ®f the Buffalo man had stomach taken out without anaesthetic.

We say a toud hat speaks for itself They think Caruso’s successor has been found, We don't If You Create Robots Most of the nation’s worke: e subnormal, to Thomas A. Stroup, superi of the Utah Fuel Co, He makes the assertion in 4 ured for the American Institute of Mining ¢ rgical Engi- neers. It deals with the cause and growth of unionism among the coal miners. Unionism, he says, is an unnat ural condition and he would check its growth by a “thoro mechanicalization of the mines.” His own words: “The first steps in checking the spread of unionism and restoring the industry to a sound position, on labor at least, will be to abolish the contract system, to mechanicalize the mines thoroly, to standardize every operation down to the minutest detail so that no respon- sibility of any kind will fall on the worker ; “Such artificial handicaps as the check-off of union dues and the certification of miners by the state must, of course, be swept away, and then the labor relations phase of the industry can function in a healthy and normal fashicn.” See the picture presented? The subnormal miners made more subnormal; reduced, in fact, to the status of machinery, and the worthy superintendent, Stroup, left free to devote his energies solely to the ‘business of grind- ing out dividends for his stockholders, without any human factors to disturb operations. Pleasant for Mr. Stroup. There was a man named Rossum. He thought a lot about the labor problem, too, and he achieved & solution much sounder than Mr. Stroup’s. Being a chemical engi- neer he invented a new kind of laboring man, a laboring man without a soul; naturally, not being God, but only a patient, industrious engineer, like Nr. Stroup, he could not give him a soul. He called his invention a robot and he organized a concern called Rossum's Universal Robots —or R. U. R., for short. Ina very short time R. U. R. "was supplying its product to the whole world. Ther Was an enormous demand for the robots, especially for use as soldiers. Well, the play goes on to tell—you understand, of course, that Rossum and his robots were “only creatures in a drama—how after they had spread all over the world, crowding out human labor, doing the world’s work ind its fighting, the robots one day revolted and wiped out the human race. Then they were faced with the terrifying fact that they didn’t possess the chemical formula and didn't know how to create themselves, There's more to the plot, but the above is enough to furnish the necessary warning to Superintendent Stroup and those who may listen to him. according PROTECT G? BIRDS (From the Vashon Island News-Record) A week or so ago it Was suggested by an island resident that Vashon Maury island be declared a game preserve in so fa: as the native blue grouse is concerned. This bird is diminishing in numbers so rapi it is only a comparatively short time until it will be extinet. The island Is admirably adapted for a home for this splendid game bird and it should not be allowed to vanish from the realms of bird life. It is not destruct ive to growing crops and so long as there is timber left to shelter it it should be left in peace. This week another resident bursts forth in an eulogy of the qual. He is absolutely right in every statement he makes in favor of this iful little bird and his contentions should be supported by everyone who is interested in birds and bird life. How- ever, legislative action is necessary in each case and unless some island resident calls it to the attention of future members of the legislature, no action will ever be taken. Before long farmers won't know if ft fs a cloud or only an airship going to St. Louis, One tells us her husband has the foolish notion his marriage license is a driver's license. The pouch of a pelican will contain seven quarts of water, if he ever gets that thirsty, When Pigs Ain't Pigs Relations between the United States and the rest of the Americas were never better, Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes tells us. Outside of incipient revolution in Cuba, the result of dollar domination; dissatisfaction thruout South America over our naval mission to Brazil; a lot of kicking in Porto Rico, Panama, the Virgin Islands and elsewhere against “too much American influence,” and a general disinclina- tion all over the Americas to accept our definition of the Monroe Doctrine, we suppose he is right. Still and all, compared to the rest of this trouble-ridden world, the western hemisphere is really a happy land as the secretary intimates. We may have our little d a entes over here, but, so far as we can see, we have no international wars in the immediate offing. Our half of the world, Secretary Hughes points out, has only six per cent of the total standing armies. Which is certainly bully, The maximum of amity with the mini- mum of armament. And that ought to teach us all something—even our Henry Cabot Lodges and our Hiram Johnsons. The influence of the United States, the.Monroe Doc- trine and the Pan-American league of nations, or union, are directly responsible for the amity, and the amity is directly responsible for the reduced armament. Arma- ments automatically melt when the sunshine of security spreads over nations, a‘ The colossal influence of the United States put behind a world peace union would be as productive of world amity and armament reduction as it has been in the Pan- American union. And it would offer no more entangle- ments. We shall all see this some day, when politics cease to blind us to the fact that pigs is pigs and truth is truth.
