Labor, the Courts and the Future. , A declaration of intent for future action, is sued from a conference of leaders of interna tional labor unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, sounds very much like a f eneral defi. It will bear some examination, how ever, and may not prove so terrible when it is carefully looked into. Principally, ir thunders against the injunction. This is no new sounding of a doctrine, but has been set forth again and again by the federation in its conventions, 2nd with little or no appreciable effect. Courts have ruled entirely around the circle from pole to pole in labor disputes, and the terms of the in junction usually indicate not the law or the equity in the case, but the temper of the attorney who draws the order and of the judge who signs it. Men have been sent to jail for violation of these orders, which are not law, but the emanations from a judge, and probably will be again, but the struggle goes on. Just now it is taking the form of a test of strength between the organized employers and' the organized workers. Under the guise of the "open shop" the employers, according to tho view of the union leaders, hope to establish an advantage. We will not here take" up a discus sion of the merits and demerits of this proposi tion. It leads nowhere. The right to sell his labor power is inherent in each man, and not to be .denied him; the right to join with his fellows in a common effort to sell his labor power to better advantage is also inherent and undenia ble, and the right of the purchaser to make the best bargain possible is equally established in law an,d equity. What must be done is to set Up a balance between these natural rights, which conceivably may be harmonized, but only when justice and not selfishness or arbitrary power prevails. The academic discussion of the injunction leads only to wider divergence or a more rigid attitude in the stand of the contestants. How to soften this stand is the real question. So far governmental interference has not been happy. Both labor and capital resent the well meant but more or less bungling intrusion of the state or federal authorities into the dispute, and yet it is recognized by both sides that finally some power must be potent to check the one or the other and so prevent excessive abuse of an advantage tem porarily gained for any advantage gained in the way f force is but transient and settles nothing. Bad examples galore may be cited, involving evil practices on either side, yet such recitals are of no avail, and rather tend to hinder the approach to 'the ultimate adjustment. Two things must be kept in view: Labor will continue to demand a steadily increasing share of created wealth; labor must give in return for its wages an equivalent in productive effort. High wages and scant work are no more consistent than t big day's stint and short pay. Capital 4nust recognize the right of labor to a just share f the output that is made possible by the joint efforts of the two. Questions of open shop or closed shop, of injunction or no injunction, and all the inconsequential will vanish when men engaged in industry, whether managers or muckers, come to realize that only as they work together will they prosper and that neither can perpetually thrive at the expense of the other. Nebraska's Consolidated Budget. Cutting more than two and one-half millions off the estimates submitted by the goirjtrnor, the legislature presents the state a budget that con templates the expenditure of $21,284,774.43 to support the public undertakings during the next two years. This is at the rate of a little over $7 per- capita for the population which is not at all excessive, when it is remembered that it will pay for all the activities of the state, adminis trative, executive, educational, charitable, cor rectional, for highway extensions and improve ments, for the work on the new state house and all the innumerable things in which Nebraska takes part as a business concern. The budget has a formidable appearance, simply because it is the first time the figures have been consolida ted and presented as a whole. As a matter of lact, it is but $94,000 greater than in the pre. ceding two years, and this figure is more than compensated for in the increase of $352,220 al lotted the Department of Agriculture. Economies effected in other items reduce this to the figure stated. However, examination of the summary of the budget indicates that the legislature s proceeding on safe lines in holding expenditures down to practical requirements and is making no allowance for fads or fancies. The size of the budget merely serves to show to what txfnt the machinery of government in Nebraska has been extended with the growth of the state. Holding the Island of Yap. The League of Nations itself is getting an Impressive illustration of the advantage possessed by the United States in not being a member. At ths present convention of the council of the league, an entire day was spent in consideration ef the American note with reference to man dates. Right here let it be said that the first real information the people have received con cerning the attitude of the Wilson administration towards the mandate awarding the former Ger man Island in the Pacific to Japan is now fur pished through news from the council's meeting. What is of more interest is the apparent firmnes with which our president has resisted the sacii fice of American interests by turning over to Japan the important cable landings in the Pa cific. Yap is vital to the system of cable com munications, and its control means the domina tion of the business in peace or war. The United States declines to permit this domination to be exercised by Japan; from the incomplete text of the note as transmitted front Paris the inference is drawn that Mr. Wilson would consent to have Yap denationalized, and put under a joint con trol. This, of course, is in full accord with his international policy. With the promised reversal of this policy under Mr. Harding, it is not unrea sonable to think that the demand will be made that the island in question be turned over to American control. This will assure us against possible interference by rivals, and while it may appear selfish, it is no more so than any other reasonable step the government has taken for de fense. Yap is needed and should come to the United States. Loose Talk and World Peace. A phrase that is attributed to Charles E. Hughes, soon to be secretary of state, is that, "There is too much loose talk jn the world." Examples of that are easy enough to find at home, not only concerning our own institutions, but our relations with foreign nations as well. This, however, is not confined to America, but throughout the world. Every one is a stales man these days. In France, we are told, the theaters are setting up as international forumsThe Paris police have acted to prevent a comedian from repeating nightly a ditty making a scandalous attack on American soldiers and coupling vulgar insinua tions with a demand for the cancellation of the French debt. Another example of the reports afloat that tend to set up nations that lead to misunder standing, comes from Canada and concerns a new history reported to have been adopted in the public schools there. This book informs the children that the conduct of the United States upiuntil our entry into the war was without con science and accuses us of being a nation of war profiteers. These are things sometimes said in the bosom of our domestic circle, as anyone who remembers the heated discussions of the last few years will realize, but to give Canadian chil dren the impression that our faults are greater than our virtues, and to neglect the good and speak the bad, is not policy. So say the news papers and those citizens of Toronto who are objecting to the text. Backed by the Navy League of Canada, the board of education is standing firm, both perhaps believing that pa triotiivn is bred in contempt of foreign countries and might be weakened by admiration or even understanding of lands beyond the border. In seeing the mistakes of others, Americans might well take to heart the wisdom of fairness and restraint in discussing foreign affairs. Loose talk on our part will not bring any of the friend liness that is now so sorely needed for world reconstruction, and nothing is more foolish than to speak despitefully merely because abroad there are silly groups lacking balance. Australia Meets the Japanese. Australia, as the frontier of the white world, may indeed have more to fear from the Japanese nation than has the more thickly settled America. It is thus that nature works, abhoring a vacu-.m, and if the Australians should neglect the op portunity to develop their own resources, the same biological law which has forced I the Japanese to find new outlets for the energies and population might be expected to carry them into the southern continent. Accordingly, Australia is energetically set ting about the task of building up its own. civ ilization without depending on the cheap Oriental labor that once toiled on the great sugar planta tions. The policy of the government has been to aid citizens to become farmers and settle somewhere else than on the fringe of the coast. Food is necessary, and if white men coujd not be enabled to produce it profitably, then some other race with a lower standard of living would have to do so. For ten years the Australian com monwealth has been establishing co-operative communities and homes for farm workers. Since the war more than half of the irrigated farms established in this way have been granted to dis charged soldiers. Good homes, fine orchards and productive fields now exist in places where in 1910 not an acre was cultivated.- These farms average 52 acres each and the settlers are al lowed 31 years in which to pay for' them. By making it possible for its own people to live on the land, Australia is meeting the threat of Japanese competition. California, which likewise holds attractive pos sibilities for the yellow race, has in the last three years adopted a similar system of enabling farm hands and landless poor men to secure homes of their own. These new homesteaders are in tensive farmers who prove that the white men, if given encouragement to start, can supply the vacuum that has been filling up with Japanese vegetable and fruit growers. Through their co operative associations they have found this neglected branch of agrciulture profitable. The plan worked out there by the state under the supervision of Elwood Mead is one well worth study in other parts of the country where it is complained that men are leaving the land for the city. One of the disadvantages of competition in -armament is that as soon as America outstrips its rivals they will find it advisable to join their forces and thus maintain their load jointly. The only trouble with this public regulation of industry seems to be that the public is always called on to guarantee profits to the poor cor poration in question. Rumors of war preparations in France are declared without foundation, but it is hoped that the rumors of peace so often heard will not also be denied.

The taxicab had collided with a large auto mobile (continued the fair Saidee), the occu pants of which did not tarry to discuss the mat ter, but hastened down the street: male and female hastened they, for reasons best known to themselves. With less reason the three ladies of Bagdad followed their example, and Nathan Weatherwax was left with his driver. 'What is the damage?' he inquired. The taxicab man' looked at the wreck of the meter and replied, 'Eight dollars." 'That." said the importer, hand ing him the money, 'should give you a new start in life.' Said tlie man, 'Beat it if you don't want your name in the paper.' Mr. Weatherwax thought the advice good, and walked rapidly for several blocks before he paused to look about him. There was little to see. because of a fog, and that little was not attractive frame tenement houses, a gloomy cavern beneath an elevated railway structure, and a eingle street light, shining nebulously. The importer recalled that Chicago was little better than a mining camp, and his mind beginning to run upon marauders he advanced with increasing trepida tion. His direst suspicions were presently eon firmed, for when he reached the street light he was halted by a highwayman, who flourished a pistol of disconcerting size. As the diamond merchant had left Mr. Weatherwax to pay the bill at the cafe the importer had little money remaining on him, and the robber voiced his disappointment roughly. He seemed, however, to be more displeased with himself than his ill luck, and was about to depart with his slight takings when his eye fell suddenly upon the shirt which the importer was wearing. At his suggestion Mr. Weatherwax removed the gar ment, which with undercoat and weskit the highwayman threw across his arm. He was considerately allowed to retain his greatcoat, and for the second time within the hour was invited to beat it, a vulgar phrase which was. becoming odious in his ears. But. as on the previous ocasion, he thought the advice worth following. (Again Miss Perkins paused in her narra tive, the which the excellent Wezeer extolled as a most marvelous tale, and of which he would not lose a syllable for a great sum of money. Houssain, too, had fallen under the spell of his First Stenographer and Private .

A child of 7 years who dominates bis family bad the vocabulary of a child of 3 years of age and could not go alone two blinks to KChonl. Ho was investigated by Dr. Sinilry Plantou. He found that at 7 months cf age this child had practically re fused milk and ltvd on a diet of hhked potatoes with an occassional bottle of one of thi sweet starchy baby food. Ever since this child had eaten what it pierced and re fused the foods chosen by Its par ents. At " years the food is de scribed by Hlanton us Infantile In type. Another finicky, nervous child was found by Rlanton to be living on potatoes, jelly and gravy. It Is true -.hat some part of the trouble of the nervous children in vestigated was due to the diet in no fnstn nopthat, best for a growing child. Fvery bad effect is itself KOinethiiv; of a bntl cause. The wrong eating habits of nervous chil dren in time operate 1c bring about Intestinal disturbances, which tend to increase nervousness. The main point of Dr. Wanton's address on nervous children was that capricious appetite and general tinickincss about earing is one of the. first as well as one of the most important signs of nervous insta bility. Dr. Blanton discovered that the bahtes with verv bad nervous hered ity were slow in learning to swal low. When they were first put to the breast they swallowed poorly, si,'ked poorly, regurgitated, and generally fed poorly. At 1 month of age they could not swallow their food any better than p. normal baby that was younger. Older babies that will only eat cer tain foods and are generally peculiar about their eating habits are almost certain to develop into nervous children. Some of them become persistent bad wetters. many de velop speech defects, such as stam mering and fluttering. Dr. Hlanton lays it down as a fundamental law "as being abso lutely essential that children of neurotic parentage he taught? reg ular and healthy food and sleep habits. The very fict that they are finicky about their eating and are restless sleeper.? make It the mom necessary that they should ife well trained, since it indicates that they are headed for the class of nervous children." ' Unfortunately nervous children in most ca-es have nervous parents of a type poorly calculated to train a nervous child. A young child Is el ways intensely self-centered. He 'ikes the position of family czar. The education and training of a child is a socializing process, one ir. which, if the training be carried out properly, the child gradually and contentedly surrenders the cen ter of the stage. No other circumstances so hap pily gets the youngster out of the center of the spotlight as doea ac quiring a baby sister or brother. This ranks 100 as a socializing force. When there is a combination of nervous parents and a stubborn, bad tempered child, who is at the same time an only child, the probfCrn is very difficult. Some form of nervous instability is very apt to develop. You Qne In the "Good Old Days." A. N. writes: "Please inform me of the virtues or medicinal effects of Haarlem oil.
