CO„ NO. 46-192S *Y ARTHUR URI»aaNG At 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon communists were Marching on Ber lin to upset the republican govej^i ment. In this blessed country, at about the same time, the public was learn ing of a tobacco combination a mountir.g to f 250,000,Q09, combining big interests, simplifying business— excellent, provided the public keeps track of what is done. Over in Europe they are tearing things to pieces. Here we are build ing up. Happy we. Judge Gary who runs the biggest industrial enterprise in the world isn’t worried about the United States yet. If business men co-operate with the president; If we mied our own business and realize that've can’t at tend to our affairs and Europe's also, this country will be all right for a long time to come. Judge Gary’s company employs tens of thousands of n.en, it practi cally IS the iron business of the United States, and he is probably as good a Judge of business conditions as there is in the country. His op timism means something. Lloyd George tells Pittsburgh he fears a new great war, worse than the last. England and America, he thinks, might combine to prevent it. At least one Russian editor hopes that the big war is coming and that it will start with bloody civil war in Germany. Men are like murderous wolves, tunning in packs. Bloodshed causes more bloodshed; disaster brings on more disaster. The Japanese government admits brutal massacre of Koreans in the excitement following earthquakes. Falsely accused of starting fires and of poisoning wells—an accusation as old as the human race—the unfort unate Koreans were hunted down by the mobs, the Japanese police unable to protect them, voluntary police re fusing to interfere. Such is human nature when the mob starts, whether in Japan, Rus sia, Germany, or here in the United States. The learned Harvard Professor Shaler, in his bdok on the mob, de clares that even a gathering of clergymen by certain influences cAuld be turned into a murderous, lynching mob. Our animal ancestors are still alive In the brains that we inherit from them. The St. Louis Star renders great service to the country in its ex posure of a medical diploma mill, turning loose upon the country an army of ignorant, dangerous men equipped with “diplomas" authoriz ing them to practice medicine and destroy life. This exposure by the St. Louis Star ought to fill with deep gratitude medical men in every part of the country, and with deeper gratitude the mothers and fathers, often at the mercy of “doctors” in whom the only knowledge required was how to find $500 to buy a diploma. Medical men who have been con tent to sit on state boards, confining their activities to attacks on other schools of healing, never finding time to investigate their own house and put it in order, ought also to be in terested in the work that the St. Louis Star has done for them. George Harvey says the United States will join in any conference that would promote recuperation and stability. That sounds innocent. You will ask: "Why not join a conference, any conference, what harm can that do?” Then you remember the old story of the loving mother that refused to let her daughter attend the picnic, reminding her of what happened “at the last picnic." You remember what happened at tl.e last conference in Washington, with Balfour and the men from France, Japan, and all Christendom. When they finished their conference, our distinguished “statesmen” re minded you of the canary bird that met the cat. No more conferences, if you please, George Harvey. Bear in mind what happened at that last pltcnic. In the United States 8,000,000 people go to the theater every day. Nearly one-tenth of the number go to the theaters of New York city alone. Goethe, asked how to Ger manize Polish territory, said the thing could be done most easily through the theater. The moving picture, which is 90 per cent, of the theater today, is more than 90 times as powerful as the old theater In its teaching and stimulating of Im agination. With its 8,000,000 students daily the moving picture ought to be the greatest university in the world. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. The ten commandments.—Ex 34:28. Whereunto shall we liken the Ten Commandments, and to what shall we compare the laws revealed upon Mount Sinai? They are fruits borne by the tree of wisdom, wherein the seed ef harvest to corao is hidden. They are jewels in the orust of earth, wherein the teachings of life are made clear as crystal. Wherefore it is said that God wrote thena upon the rocks, because they be long to the foundations; And he gave them to Israel, because they were his people chosen to en lighten all nations. Yet he hath broken and scattered Israel, and the tables of stone laid up in the ark have vanished. But the fruitfulness of their wisdom Is not lost, neither have the jewels of their righteousness been darkened. For in them we see clearly what Is good for man to do, end what things hinder him in die upward way of liv ing. Wherefore Christ hath putJhia seal upon the Ten Commandments, be cause their meaning is Gove to Gcd and our neighbor. Eskimo women put blubber of the seal onto raw skin, then chew this hide to produce leather and many of the old»r females’ teeth are worn to the gums from this constant chewing of pelts. The Island of Corfu, known originally as Corcya, was the site of the first naval battle fooght in the annals of Greece, the engagement taking place nearly 700 years before the birth or Christ._ The ultra-violet ray has been found very useful in photographing palimp sests (writings inscribe 1 over ok er writings.)

Under the heading of “Misstate ments of fact, or misleading state ments of fact,” the report says that “in several texts the strike activities of unions are so Inextricably bound up with the demonstrations of an archists that the student who is given no other basis for Judgment is very apt to confuse the legitimate efforts of workers to allavlate conditions with anarchistic activities." President Gompers in his speech, referring to the repeal of the child labor law by the United States su preme court said, “we have been sacrificing women and children of the United States on the altar of mammon. To say that the constitu tion is impotent to protect the child ren of our time is begging the ques tion. The courts have declared that laws which were passed by congress for the protection of minors from un due exploitation are void. That th> people through their representatives cannot pass a law to protect the child life is to lay the greatest indictment against our < ompetency.” The “defense fund” of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, amounts to $*.83,994.28 Secretary Frank Mor flson reported to the annual conven tion, with about $40,000 held in a special fund for general expenses. He set the total receipts for the year ending August Si, 1923, at $687,880 and total e^ponses at $662, 298. Total membership of the federation was announced as 2,926,448, showing a loss for the fourth consecutive year, and more than 260,000 in the past 12 months. The highwater mark of membership was attained in 1920, when the rolls of affiliated unions numbered 4,078,740. Details of the expenditures report showed the following items: Organizers’ expenses and salaries $187,618; legislative expenses, includ ing salaries of three legislative com mitteemen $19,381; salaries at head quarters $156,000; strike and lockout benefits $36,629; appropriation to United Mine Workers by executive gouncil $14,523. Mine Workers Bank First. Of a total voting strength of 30,486, based on the average membership reported or paid upon the federation by the 108 affliated unions, the United Mine Workers rank first with 4,049, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners beinij second with 3,160. penters and joiners being second with 8,160. A campaign fund of $1,000,000 will be provided to finance the arlve to un ionize the 850,000 workers in the steel industry of America, Secre - tary William Hannon of the execu tive council of the national and inter national unions in the Industry an nounced. All labcr unions in the country affiliated with the Ameri can Federation of Labor will contrib ute to the campaign treasury, he said. The convention will go On record as denouncing the activities of the Ku Klux Klan and will demand na tional and state legislation to put that and other secret organizaions that hide behind a mask, out of business, it was reported Monday night. Delegates to the convention will Introduce anti-Ku Klux Klan resolutions which, action of the con vention Monday afternoon indicates, will be adopted. In the reading of the report of the executive council strong denunciation was made of the Ku Klux Klan. It stated that no trade unionist can consistently par ticipate in the activities of that or similar bodies. The delegates rose to their feet and shouted their approval of the sentiments expressed in that sec tion of the report. The executive council, after three lengthy sessions laid down the law unequivocally to the rebellious ele ment of the northwest by ordering the Seattle central labor council either to obey the laws and policies i **• the American Federation of Labor or forfeit its charter. The action of the council in this matter is general ly considered as equal to revoking the charter, because no one expects the Seattle body to abide ,by the decision. The Seattle organization has 30 days in which to make good. If it does not make good in that time, the charter will be lifted and a new organization will be put in the field under American Federation of Labor auspfcies. South Sea Island Wedding.

BY DENNIS O’LEARY. Police officers in Des Moines raid ed the basement of John Hamery, special prohibition officer connected with the county sheriffs office, and found two stills and a considerable quantity of booze. Mr. Hamery immediately raised the wail that hs had been “framed” by forces un friendly to his operations. The bas ic weakness in his plea is that he admits putting these contraband supplies in his basement, claiming that such storage was only a tem porary arrangement until he could transfer the captured supplier to the sheriffs office. It is difficult to conceive or any situation calling for such Intermedi ate storage by an officer in the dis charge of hla duties. In this par ticular case, it appears, Mr. Ham ery had not even reported the neizures. Whatever the eventual outcome of the case may be, the suspicion will hold that he had a notion of diverting tho booze and still* to his own private ownership. No doubt there was a phase of ‘‘framing” in the raid which exposed the inventory of the Hamery base ment. Somebody knew of the cache and promoted the ‘‘John Doe” raid for purposes other than to uphold the sanctity of law. But "framing” of that particular kind is not pos- , sible against officials who keep their official and private operations fre* from questionable situations. Those in the field to promote re spect for federal and state prohibi tory laws cannot view themselves as privileged characters. They must be, like Caesar'* wife, above suspicion. Prohibition agents who divert seized liquors to their own use, or for distribution among their close friends, not only help to create dis respect for the prohibitory laws but are bad Influences in the general problem of creating and maintain ing respect for law. An Offensive Theory. If the Iowa republican "leaders” go ahead with the pre-primary con vention next February, as now in dicated, the move is likely to de velop into a phase of insurgency that lias not been equalled since the hey day of the Cummins revolt in the state. The proposed proceeding ia so clearly an expression of lack of confidence in citizenship intelligence, and so clearly an attempt to intrude on the functions of the state’s legal primary system, that the "leaders’ can’t get any thing out of it In the long run except a large measure of discredit for the self-asserted guardi anship. Brookhart probably will express his appreciation for the new ammunition. Had the early state convention in Iowa been proposed merely to se lect delegates to the national con vention, the shift in date would not have attracted much attention or discussion. So long as the custom prevails of letting a few of the poli ticians get together to select na tional convention delegates, it does not matter very much whether the meeting is held in February or a little later. But the state con vention last year, in declaring for the pre-primary state convention lu 1924, included as the instructions: “—and to include In the call therefore, as part of the business of that convention, the duty of Indorsing candidates for senator, governor and other state officers, to be supported by the party as a party in the ensuing primary.” The rank and file republicans may be willing to let “Jim” Trewin and a few other “leaders” decide, by and of themselves, what the state’s policy shall be as to a presidential nomina tion. but a reasonable percentage of the mere voters feel qualified to participate in local problems—such as the nomination of senator, gover nor and other state officers. The very purpose of the primary, in fact, 1* to permit the voters to decide such questions without being sub jected to abnormal influences from professional politicians. Even if a few of the ’’insiders” formally proclaim a program for "we, the republicans of Iowa,” the primary will Btill be there for mak ing amendments and modifications. Mr. Trewain recently announced by the way, that Iowa will send a Ooolidge delegation to the republican national convention. He ltnowe. ’ There will be no primary election interference as te that.
