Exercise of this power was limited, of course, to situations in which the welfare of the public was affected. Well, the experiment hasn’t been suc- cessful. Readers are familiar with the turmoil that ensued in Kansas as the new court endeavored to carry out the work assigned to it. Sam Mowat, miners’ lead- er, went to jail rather than comply with the law and—supreme tragedy !—William Allen White came mighty near doing the same for daring to say he believed the strikers in a certain case were neare right than the employers. It was fortu- nate for the United States that Kansas, rather than one of the industrial states, elected to try the experiment; there might have been really serious consequences in a highly industrial state. Here is what was wrong with the Kan- sas theory: In principle it undertook to Say that men can be compelled to work. (Oddly enough, the present supreme court decision resulted from a complaint that the Kansas court was attempting to com- pel capital, well as labor, to work.) Forced labor went out of the American scheme of things at the very beginning of the republic and no state, not even self- righteous Kansas, can put it back. The Kansas idea never had but one leg to stand on. That was the rights of the public. More often than otherwise the public is a victim of labor disputes. The Kansas court was launched just at the time when many men in national public life were declaiming the necessity for pro- tecting the public against the hardships growing out of strikes. Now we are back just where we were. Kansas didn’t find the way. Probably no law-making body ever will find the way. It does not seem to be a job for govern- ment. Perhaps it is up to the public itself. The Government on the Job EPORTS from Great Falls, Mont., where Senator Wheeler is on trial, State that from 20 to 30 department of justice detectives are on hand to “look after the government’s interests.” The government apparently intends to give itself a square deal in this case. Sen- ators Walsh and Wheeler will not be per- mitted to drug the jury or otherwise tam- per with the true course of justice. But it seems the government is a little bit tardy in this zeal to look after its own interests. Would it not have been well for the government to have had just two or three of those agents on the trail of Colonel Stewart, oil man, and thus prevented his undignified flight to Mexico just at the time the government needed him at Chey- enne? And wouldn't it have been a splendid idea for the department of justice to have guarded its own interests by making doubly sure that the indictments against Chicago Bu; Bs The Seattle Star Bpectal Published Dally by The Star Rydiiahing Oa, Phone Mata Representatives, ftiee, 410 North Mio n office, Ta T b, § months $2 Ban Francteco n Ave) New t Bt @ months $1.08, $00 @ mont Fall, Sinclair and the Dohen jeopardized thru error? But then maybe the government at- taches greater importance to the Wheeler case than to the alleged stealing of Teapot Dome and bribing of a secretary of the interior, The Little Girl’s Apple LIPPANT Eastern newspapers have criticized the action of a U. 8. cus- toms inspector in refusing to allow an Iowa youngster to bring ashore an apple and orange New York because a gov- ernment order prevents importation of fruits and plants from certain countries of Europe. “That's carrying things far,” said these critics, But was it? The agricultural department order was designed to insure the exclusion of fruit pests. Any violation, however slight, is likely to bring in a scourge for our farm- ers and fruit growers. Failure to observe such little things has caused this country hundreds of millions of dolla For more than 30 years the government has been fighting the dread boll weevil simply because no attention was paid to it when it first crossed the Mexican boundary into Texas. Now the annual loss to our cotton crops from weevil dam- age is estimated by the department of agriculture at more than $200,000,000. The chestnut tree blight, which has ruined this magnificent species, got a start the same way. The pink boll worm, the corn borer, the Japanese beetle and numerous other pests all originated abroad, So, while it is unfortunate that the lit- tle girl’s feelings had to be hurt, she probably forgot it in 15 minutes. In the case of some of our imported insect pests the country may never be able to forget s were not entirely too | them. PP Answers to Your Questions ? ? Jackie Coogan Retires ACKIE COOGAN is to retire, 5 J word from Hollywood. Wherein Jackie enters a new bid for undying fame. He is the first rich and famous personage in history to retire for the purpose of going to school! Jackie is going to take the hard knocks of the classroom and the playground so he can grow up to be a regular citizen. He’s going to forget about acting and adulation and learn what it feels like to be an ordinary little boy with an ordi- nary boy’s problems and worries. All of which is one of the most sensi- ble ideas to emanate from Hollywood in a long time. No film career, no fortune, can be worth the sacrifice of a boy's boyhood. No money in the world can buy for this child the things he will gain from life by leaving his gold-strewn pathway for a rockier road. And what's more, this investment of whatever genius the Coogan boy may possess will undoubtedly pay big divi- dends a few years from now. When Jack returns to the screen a young man, he'll be a better actor for his training off stage. He will learn things from living with us ordinary folks that he couldn't learn any other way. y HE SEATTLE STAR DAY, APRII 22, 1926, dD By wittiAMs} WILBUR TELLS WHERE A THE WORST, OF SPRING— MOVIN. | Something for Men Ay BY MRS. / COME.
