Xo sooner have the armed bands of miners .in West Virginia dispersed than clashes with 'similar group arise in tlie coal district of south 'em Illinois. Disorders between the striking ; miners and the mine guards have existed there ..lor several days, and from the hills come re- .'. ports of plans for marching in force to two '-towns from which the workmen had been driven. . There is a dearth of correspondence from thc front, but it is probable that during the ten months of this strike there has been wrong' on ".'both sides. The claim is made that private detectives de ,-stroyed the tents in which the miners and their "1-Ciilics had been living and forced them to .leave. I he story is an oiu one lorce is met avith force and wrong with wrong. Although vr-e Constitution. of the United States guarantees rbe right of citizens to bear arms, it clearly did itot contemplate the settlement of industrial dis putes by guerrilla wariare or countenance tne shouldering of rifles for the purpose of settling private grievances. J. In Vet Virginia thc state government broke !rtovn, ami i'i Illinois the governor is under a' !rloud which ran not but lower the respect: In Hwhich his authority is held. Either' no effort ;1'ijs been made on behalf of the public interest "t.i adjust the dispute in the Illinois coal fields or ttnrough the corruption or weakness of the local 'authorities the situation has been turned over to 'nettlement by tcrroriration.

" This, h6wever, is not the wise way l..t ri the iit ' Industrial rltemite must not "be put on a bloody or revolutionary basis. There fis only one way to settle these problems; and 'that is by law and justice.

Tttal receipts for Visiting Nurse tag day fell ;short. of hopes of the women who keep the serv ice moving. This is a matter that can and will !be remedied later on, for Omaha will not allow 'the work to lag for lack of money to meet its requirements. Some features of the day de ', serve notice, one of them being that $900 of the 'amount collected was in the shane of nickels. Eighteen thousand nickels' requires explana tion. Many of these, no doubt, symbolize the nnrcininnv nf tile ffiver. wlirt riMiM a Rft tittle cost flaunt his tag as bravely as did the man' who gave a dollar or $10, or even more. Such "charity" carries its own cure. Other of those ; nickels would tell a different tale.. These came 'from the children." to whom the sum looks. big. !and, when contributed to the Nurse fund means sacrifice of material pjfasure. Still another source 'of these nickels is from the man who from Astern necessity right now is counting, the nickels. 'Even so small a coin means something to cat " to .the jobless worker, who is just now drawing " his belt a little tighter each day, keeping a stiff 'upper lip, and waiting for his luck to turn. .Yet lie is wilting to divide, as he always has been; ...:.t. i .1,-- ...j u. ::.... u ..... -to pay for his tag carried with it a sentiment "that is not to be bought with money. Such Miickels are blessed and deserve to rank with the niost costly of gifts. ;.. No coin detector or counter, no human de ' vice of any sort, can sort these nickels into piles land say this one came from a miser, this from la child, and this from a man who may have gone . i.unirrv Because ne cave u. ici we mav de verv Csure that the separation has been made, and that !the record will stand straight and clear on the 'Big Book. Sensational But Not Satisfying.' Boston lias been diverted and the -world "edified by an' "auction" of unemployed workers. Aside from restating an obvious fact, that dis tress incident to business depression' exists," the exhibition on ' Boston Common serves no pur- pose. The transparent attempt to connect it by J analogy with , the anti-slavery plea of William Lloyd Garrison has no force, for the conditions .are not the same, workers in America are tree, i wage-slavery is a mouth filling phrase, but it ' only means that man must work if he would Mire. - - . . the best possible answer to the correspondent who would convert all our Liberty bonds into federal bank notes for . immediate use. Thirty J years ago two young men rode their bicycles i across Asia, and found that a few pounds of silver, carried about their persons or in the head- posts of their machines, were enough to defray I all their expenses; yet in Szech-chuan they 'needed a wheelbarrow load of copper "cash" to buy a breakfast. - Values arc staggered, and no longer measur able in a standardized money; society is moving ie-c or going in circles, h,i"f for an cty y out of the mores, still bewildered ind rrn fu'rd.

Utterly new commercial practices designed to meet changed conditions are being evolved by the war finance corporation, which under the farm export bill has been authorized to make loam to co-operative marketing associations and any other concerns engaged in handling the crops. Europe, it has been found, now prefers to take our commodities gradually instead of in short period as wis the rase before the war, and does not want to buy in great quantities for future shipmenfcTcn if credit is offered. Al though farm exports have been large, purchases have been of the hand-to-mouth 'ariely.' A year ago America did not realize this change and went ahead as usual, attempting to sell European cuttomeri a year's supply in a few months. Trices broke and foreign exchange went wild; the task of the war finance corporation as viewed by the manager, Eugene Meyer, jr., is to avoid a repetition of this error. He .ays: It is of the utmost importance to recogni.e a new condition in our foreign trade. This condition has less to do with credits to for eigners and more with credits to Americans. We must now recognize the necessity of sell ing our agricultural products more gradually than we did in former years, and therefore a corresponding necessity to carry our com modities here in America in larger quantities for a longer period of marketing. If we provide financing to hold our com modities for more gradual marketing over a longer period we will be doing only -what any sensible merchant should do to handle his business. It is not a question of holding for speculative purposes; conditions compel us to hold for gradual marketing if we do not want to cause disaster to ourselves and to those that buy from us. In the current news Is reported an agree ment to advance $1,200,000 in this way to a cot ton growers' association in Arizona for financ ing the domestic sale of cotton, and of a loan of $150,000 to a California co-operative organiza tion to finance the exportation of canned fruit. Already the advance of $29,000,000 to producers and handlers of farm products has been approved, and negotiations are under way for as much more. Mr. Meyer announces that in a few days he will start on a tour of the farming and live Stock sections to study the farmers' problems and acquaint himself fully with their credit needs. Merchants and bankers understand that they can not pull themselves out of the hole without pulling' the farmer out, top, and this lifting power of this law is immense. . In authorizing. aid to agriculture and placing a fund of $1,000, 000,000 at the disposal' of the farmers, congress took what is hoped will be a most important step toward financial and industrial recuperation. Red Cross and Russian Relief.. How complicated the matter of sending food to the starving in Russia may become is excel lently illustrated by a line or two in the dis- patches from Geneva.' Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, the Norwegian explorer,' and head of the Interna tional Red Cross, spoke of his hope of raising' 30,000,000 pounds" sterling,-with which, to pur chase 200,000,000' tons of wheat, for Russia. On his way to Geneva Dr. Nansen passed through Enplandr but declined to outline his plans, be yond the expression that he looked to the" British for the larger part of his working' funds. - : , . Dr. Nansen is known to have mad A an ar rangement with the Soviets, and for this reason Secretary Hoover declined to deal with him, fear ing to trust any part of the relief work : to the Leninites. In England a similar- distrust is noted, and British relief will largely be bestowed through the ' American Relief commission, - to which the American Red Cross has turned over its' share of the work. ' Leaders in both Englarjd and the United States regret the action of. Dr. Nansen, although the' latter .says he has an un derstanding that all work will be Carried, on under his direction; that his 'agents will have charge of distributing alt relief in Russia, and that he has confidence that the soviet govern, ment will carry out its agreements in full. This is not enough to establish a deep1 trust in the reds, nor to dispel the; dread that supplies intended for the starving women" and children will, be intercepted and diverted to the com missary of the red army. Incidents of the kind already are reported, and may be repeated. The situation is interesting as showing What follows when one government or nation entirely earns the distrust of those to which it must turn for assistance. Russia will be fed for humanity's sake, even if the Red Cross is not to function as it properly should. The claiias of the independent oil 'men that two big companies, which may or may not be under the same control, are trying to put them out of business has a familiar sound, but every one is supposed to Icnow that this sort of thing; went out of date years ago. A switch engine nudged a motorist at one of Omaha's many grade crossings how long be fore this dangerous system is done away with? For the price of a few damage suits enough subways could be built to eliminate all these perilous crossings. : Democrats on the senate finance committee are suddenly struck with liorror at the prospect of a deficit. Where have they been? The coun try has been running behind every day sinc Woodrow . Wilson was inaugurated in 1913. On account of the bad business year, it is proposed to repeal the excess profits tax, but the very fact that this is urged would indicate that .there ' are some ' w hose profits still are large enough to fall under heavy taxation. For an organization which has been accused of having been formed by big business, the Amer ican Legion is adopting a surprising tone in its controversy with the United States Chamber of Commerce over the bonus. ' Somehow, the announcement that the rail roads have made a big increase in their income does not arouse any great enthusiasm among the jieople that pay the freight "Judge Landis has handed down his decision as umpire in the building 'industry controversy in Chicago, and now it is up to the contractors and workmen to play ball ' . Yes, Europe has the Rotary spirit it is go ing 'round and 'round.. .- ...... John D., Junior, Leads Son, Not Father, Riche.t Man in the World Today. (From tht Philadelphia Ledger. John D. Rockefeller, jr., not his f.tlicr, is the richest person in the United States, says Henry II. Klein, author of "DvnaMic America and Those Who Own It," and first deputy commis sioner of the city of New York. Mr. Klein esti mates the Rockefeller family wealth at $2,400, 000,000, including the holdings in the founda tions. Mr, Klein said: "The latest stock lit of Standard Oil of New Jerey. the largest Standard Oil corporation, dhows that John D. Rockefeller, jr.. holds 452.080 common stock and 38,970 siffircs preferred and that his father own only 1,000 ohares preferred. The son's holdings are worth $70,000,000, while the fathers are worth JIH'.OOO. "The foundations touetlier hold about 410,000 shares common and 125.000 shares preferred and John D., jr.'s sisters, Mrs. Edith U. McCormick and Mrs. Alia Kockefellrr 1'rctiticr, hold to srelher 125,000 shares common and 50.000 pre- ferred The total value of the Rockefeller hold ings in this one company exceeds $200,000,(100, In 1919 John D. Rockefeller, sr.. held 149,130 shares common stock (.old issue) and Ins son 63,020. "1 he Rockefeller holdings in Standard Oil of Indiana were appraised in 1915 at $00,000,000. At that time the capital of the company was only $30,000,000, having been Increased from $1,000, 000 by the distribution of a stork dividend of 2,900 per cent. At that time 65,000 shares were held by Herbert W. Gumbel, secretary to John D., jr. Harry P. Fish, secretary to John D., sr., held 6.895 shares and Andrew H. Bates, another Rockefeller "dummy." 6.500 shares. "In 1916 the Rockefeller holdings in Standard Oil of California were estimated at $85,000,000; Standard Oil of New York. $45,000,000: Prairie Pipe Line and Prairie Oil and Gas. at $20,000,000 each, and Vacuum Oil. Ohio Oil and Atlantic Refining at $11,000,000 each. Each of these hold ings is today worth half again as much. The foundations hold about one-seventh of these se curities. "Other large Rockefeller holdings arc in the name of John D jr., and of 'dummies.' John D., jr., is credited with holding many thousand shares of Pennsylvania railroad; Colorado Fuel and Iron and Manhattan 'L "The Rockefellers own $17,000,000 of $40, 000,000 par value Consolidated Coal company stock, none of which is held, in thc foundations. This company controls the coal fields, of West Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky. All these shares are held by Andrew H. Bates, Harry P. Fish, Robert W. Gumbel and Bertram Cutler. "Cutler, Fish, Gumbel and two others hold $4,000,000 worth of stock in Consolidated Gas company, New York City. Gumbel and Cutler sre 'dummies' in the Illinois Central and Fish in Wheeling and Lake Erie. "The market value of all the Standard' Oil companies is about $3,000,000,000. The Rocke fellers own about 30 per cent, besides which they own many millions in so-called independent oil companies; such as Magnolia. Royal Dutch and Sinclair. Their total oil holdings are worth at least $1,000,000,000. They are the largest secur ity holders in the railroads, mines, public utilities, banks and other industrial corporations, their ag gregate holdings in these properties being an other $1,000,000,000. They: own about $300,000, 000 in national, state and city bonds and about $100,000,000 in real estate and mortgages in New York, Cleveland, Tarrytown, Lakewood and other cities. . "The foundations hold about $400,000,000 of all the Rockefeller wealth, most of the balance being in the name of John D., jr. When John D., sr., dies his estate will undoubtedly show less than $500,000,000, the balance having, been distributed. When John D., jr. said a few days ago that his father's estate never reached a bil lion dollars and has been greatly reduced by large gifts from principal in recent years, he un-. doubtedly meant gifts to himself and his sisters, as well as to the foundations, which young John D. himself controls.

In eases of chronic bromide poisoning Li Hunt foftiul bromido In the urine one month after the. use of the drug was discontinued and In ex periments on dogs It wa.t found that the drug was still belns excreted four months after Its use was discon-. tinucd. . i A3 is the caso with all other drugs. some people are more- easily affected Vassals of the Lobby Should Save the Hawaiians Congress ha passed, an act looking to the rehabilitation of the Hawaiian people if that be found possible. Public lands are. to be sub divided and allotted to families,: and any expense involved taken from the rentals of lands already occupied by sugar plantations. This so-called Hawaiian homes act was passed in the hope that the remnant of the race which once owned the islands which we now occupy may be saved and made self-sustaining. At present this people is rapidly dying out. , If the race can be saved it is a humanitarian duty which devolves upon us. Like other South Sea islanders, they were livl.ig and thriving ac cording to their ideals when we tound tiiem. un doubtedly they' would have, continued to' do so had the whites who discovered them' sailed away and never come back. They were inhabiting; islands on Which a very simple life could be lived with almost no" effort, and the races had adapted themselves to their environment and were con tent. Some vestiges of virility were maintained by the continuous petty fighting which, partly from ineffective weapons and partly from con stitutional laziness, were not very destructive of human life. : In contact wjth whites theyare all -disappearing. . . To put the Hawaiians in a condition to sus tain themselves in the struggle for life they must be reconstructed. It is, not certain that it can be done. The people are mentally bright. There are no brighter pupils than. Hawaiian children of the public schools. But, having graduated with honor at the high schoolsT they tend to go back to living on fish and poi, with all that that im plies. They lack initiative and energy and power to resist disease, and whether that can be bred into the race is uncertain. But it is our duty to do all in our power to encourage that and it is a duty which we shall discharge with most hearty good will. San Francisco Chronicle. Churches as Polling Places. The election commissioners of Boston have found what appears to be a happy solution of the problcmof providing the additional voting facilities made necessary by the advent of equal suffrage. Some forty or more Sunday school rooms have already been designated as regular polling places. The churches and Sunday schools in the. sev eral sections of the country have made consider able progress in recent years in the work of es tablishing themselves as important civic centers. Voting is one of the most important civic obli gations. In becoming as they are in Boston regularly established polling places the churches are performing a particularly valuable service. The precedent established by the Boston churches might well be followed. Cleveland Plain Dealer. ' The Antis Paradise. America surely is a land of opportunity ill more ways than one. Here anyone who desires to found a league, society or club with "Anti" as a prefix to its name is sure to succeed. We have such a variety of good folks among us that there are always tfq be found a respectable num ber who are against something or other. Form ing a league to spread their views is a harmless diversion as a rule and tends to keep the mem ber out of mischief generally. St Paul Pioneer Press. . - Four, Four, Four Years More.

(From the Kew York World.) "Here wo have threo bodies of the legislature," said Senator Reed in ids speech dealing with the. activities of the prohibition lobby, "one the house, another the senate and the. other the Anti-Saloon league.",' Tlw senator from Missouri claims for the house and the senate an in fluence and a prestige (hat they do not possess. He-- makes them equal and co-ordinate with the Anti-Saloon league, whereas the record proves that in all matters" of prohibition they have been subordinate and. vassal. , The war-time prohibition law was not drafted by any member of con gress or by any commiUe of con gress. It was framed by the paid at torneys of the Anti -Saloon league and enacted under the. -whip of the paid lobby tf. the Anti-Saloon league. The eighteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States was not drafted by any member of con gress or by any committee of con gress. It was framed by the paid at torneys of the Anti-Saloon league and driven through both branches by the paid lobbyists of the Anti Saloon league. The prohibition enforcement act,- wnicn Dears Mr. Volstead s name, was not drafted by Mr. Volstead or 'by any other member of congress or oy any committee , of congress. It, too, was framed by' the paid, attor neys of the Anti-Saloon league and enacted Into law by the paid lobbyists of the Anti-Saloon league. The so-called anti-beer bill, which is now engaging the attention of .crn. gress to the exclusion of -.natters ot vast national consequence, was not drafted . by the members whose names it bears or by any member of congress or by anjf committee of con gress. ; It also was framed by the; j;aia attorneys or tne Anti-saloon league. . v ' After the bill reached the senate the members of that body ventured, in an apologetic mood, to provide that it must be enforced in a consti tutional manner; but while the con ference committee was in aession to adjust the difference, it is charged that Wayne B. Wheeler, the paid at torney of the Anti-Saloon league, was allowed to be present, although representatives and senators them selves are not permitted .t meetings of a conference committee of which they are not members. J- This is what Senator Reed de scribes as ."lobbying gone mad"; but it is the kind of lobbying to which congress has supinely submitted year after year. Even now the execu tive branch of the government, which long ago decided that the eighteenth amendment and the 'enforcement legislation did not 'prohibit the medicinal use of beer by prescription of registered physicians, has held up regulations that were prepared last spring, because the paid lobbyists of the Anti-Saloon league are engaged in enacting legislation to nullify the ruling of the attorney general. . When Senator Reed insists that the house and the senate of the congress of the United States are co-equal with the Anti-Saloon league in the legislative branch of the government he accords to them a distinction which cowardice and hypocrisy long ago surrendered.
