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

Misleading Statements Alleged.
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

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,

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

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.

'8uspicious Storage” of Booze-'VoV
•re May Rcfrent Pra-Primary
Ad vie*—Can’t Restrict Spe
cial Session—“Politics”
Defined.
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.
