Digging Deep REGARDING the principles of arbitration there can be no dispute. If the quarrel between miners and operators is to be settled at all, it will be by arbitration, either on the basis suggested by the President or on some other basis more nearly satisfactory to the disputants. But when arbitration comes it must be concerned not alone with the simple issue of present day wages. Whatever tribunal is chosen to try this case it must have the autlOrity—and the willingness—to gather and study every fact related to the industry. Its investigation must go as deep as the mine itself, must extend from the mine to the coal bin, must spread into the home of the miner .and the office of the owner. The conditions under which the miner lives are no less pertinent to the issue than the price he gets for his labor and the price the owner gets for his product. Make the operator open his books. Make the wholesaler open his hooks. Make the retailer open his books. Clothe the arbitration board with the power to turn to the public light all the evils that have brought about the conflict and then we will have the basis for a settlement that will eliminate its causes. But will they do it 7 Peculiar Moods DO you ever, in walking aiong a street, try to step on every crack in the sidewalk, or change the length of your strides to avoid stepping on cracks altogether? In going upstairs, do you have impulses to take certain steps “two at a time,” or count the number of steps? Famous old Dr. Samuel Johnson had a similar habit. In taking a walk he could not resist hitting each picket of a fence with his cane. Sometimes, he wrote, it became an obsession with him that he had missed a picket. Then he would walk back several j blocks and hit the annoying picket with great satisfaction. These absurd impulses or habits are mild symptoms of psychasthenia, according to Dr. Abraham Myerson, who teaches neurology in Tufts Medical School. Psyckasthenia, says Dr. Myerson, is a disease—one of the forms cf nervous and mental disorders which the public calls nervousness ’ and the scientist calls “psychoneurosis.” Generally these peculiar impulses can be eliminated by will power. Every one has them at times, so no use worrying about them. We all have “crazy moments.” t Persian Satraps THE doctrine of States rights has been revived by Senator Borah, of Idaho. A lot can be said in favor of States rights. And Borah says it. We don't.wa*it satraps sent from Washington to rule any part of us. 'We like local self-Governraent. Eachcommunity knows best what is best for the/community. But there is another side. Local sentiment in North Carolina may be controlled by cotton mill owners and “poor white” mountain farmers who are willing to be supported by their small children working twelve hours a day in the mills; local sentiment in Mississippi still maintains the negro in actual slavery; local sentment in Georgia keeps wives as chattels and a wife’s property as the property of her husband; local sentiment in West Virginia supports gun toting and feuding; local sentiment in our big cities would favor the saloon; local sentiment in some country districts wmuld oppose decent .roads; local sentiment in the Cumberland Mountains would legalize mo. nshine. There is a good subject for debate in this matter and we would like to see it thrashed out thoroughly.

WATSON SHOWS SENATE FUNNY SIDEOF TARIFF Indiana Member Relieves Tedious Debate With Stuffed Monkey. By KENNETH W. CLARK United Press Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, July 12 —The Senate has entered the show business: “Smiling Jim” Watson of Indiana, assisted by Senator McCumber, North Dakota, and members of the finance committee, is chief “barker” and exhibitor. During the long, tedious debates on the tariff Watson and McCumber originated the idea of illustrating the effect of tariff rates by bringing articles into the Senate for exhibition. The Senate Sideshow The “Senate sideshow” includes everything from a-toy monkey to the latest design' in foreign made shotguns. / The toy monkey exhibit drew unusual attention, both from the Republican and Democratic sides, and afforded a packed gallery with considerable amusement. Watson picked up the'stuffed monkey and looking straight at Senator Harrison of Mississippi declared: Reference to Bryan "Now I come to something which will excite th<y risibilities of my good friend from Mississippi. He has exa nined it' carefully and I thought he might be interested in the address that WilHara Jennings Bryan has been making in which Bryan is attempting to convince the American people that there is nothing to the theory of evolution and that neither he nor his ancestors descended from monkey, in accordance with the Darwinian theory of evolution. “The foreign cost was 19 cents: the landed cost was 31 cents: the retail cost was $2; the spread between the foreign cost and the retail price was 952 per cent; the spread between the landed cost and the reail price was 545 per cent." BORAH OFFERS PLAN TO FIGHT HIGHER TAXES ! Idaho Senator Would Have People Organize in Smaller Units. Bu HARRY B. HUNT, NEA Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON. July 12.—Organization of “taxpayers associations” in every village, township, . city and county, through which the average ictizen can make effective his demand for relief from mounting governmental taxes is (suggested by Sjenatqr William ' E. Botalf. J&piibfccitiv'oi I#aho. • “It ‘is only by pressure from 'the folks back home. ’”-Borah says, "that relief will be secured. And In order to make the demands of constituents effective on Congress, taxpayers must be organized. “Once organizations of taxpayers, . not single Individuals, begin rfemand- ! ing that their [ representatives., hwe. | act to relieve their tax load instead of making it heavier, then and only then will they get results.” Work Two Ways “Taxpayers' associations,” Borah ' j declares, “would be a distinct aul in two ways. They would enable men and women back home to band together in their demands for tax relief in- a manner that would force attention of their representatives in Washington. “And they would also, through the Increased discussion and study of tax and other governmental problems, give the people a better understanding of the matters at issue. “Constant increase of governmental expenditure has reached the point where it breeds ' revolution. Everywhere, men are denouncing and criticising their Government The people’s faith and patience are nearing 1 exhaustion. “It is proposed as soon as the tariff bill is out of the way to take up the ship subsidy bill. That will provide a drain upon the treasury hy a vicious system of tax exemption, in my judgment quite'as much as if it voted bonds or obligations of the Government. REFUSE Broad Ripple Man Thinks Town Needs Garbage Department. ■ To the Editor: If Mayor Shank wants to convince those people in Broad R;pple. who are bitterly opposing annexation that the city will benefit them, he should make an effort to have the city sanitary bo.±rd extend garbage collection. No other one thing could be of greater benefit. The town of Broad Ripple has gone to great expense in erecting a town hall and establishing a metropolitan fire department but does not furnish a garbage collection system. Broad Ripple’s tax rate as it stands, I am informed, is higher than that of Indianapolis, and no one will • assume that Broad Ripple residents have the advantages of tjese In the corporation limits. This one single act accomplished will see a large number of the annex--1 ation opponents who are backing court litigation cease their efforts and be a great .boon to all residents of the Ripple. ' W. li. M. To the Editor: With so much talk of Jack Kearns about matching Dempsey with Harry Wills, -Jess Willard and Georges Carpentler, why have they all forgotten young Anget Luis Firpo, the promising Argentine heavyweight? Firpo's visit to this country was almost as disheartening as that of Les Darcy, the Australian, who died with a broken heart. In size, Firpo la a monster, towering above Dempsey and considerably larger in air proportions. Young Firpo isn’t the slowest lad that ever lived, either. He’s a pretty j speedy chap and mighty ambitious. It Isn’t fair for Americans to ban every foreign pugilist, just because he’s liable to win a championship. RINGSIDE.

Before this clear-eyed, mild-man : nered little man, 1,200 wayward girls of Denver County have presented themselves during the last two years, asking for help and advice for themselves or punishment for the partner of their sin, and over 900 of these have come voluntarily without even suggestion of parent, friend or probation officer.

JUDGE BEN LINDSEY. me that he’d celebrate his twenty-fifth anniversary on the juvenile court bench of Denver next April, it came with a shock. Asa reporter, I have visited every kind of a courtroom from Mexicali to Montreal. I never saw one like this one. No robes for the judge, no raised dais for his official chair—not even an official chair. Just a worn, old office chair, reminding of the one occupied by Judge Priest, the lovable old Kentuckian, created by Irvin Cobb. No Court Officials But. stranger still, there is no desk for the clerk, no chair for the bailiff and no tables for the court stenog- \ raphers, for in this court there is no clerk to take down proceedings, no bailiff, and no stenographer to take down your words. Ben Lindsey believes and acts on the principle of law that a person is innocent until proven guilty. In twenty-five years thousands of men, women and children have come to him, confessed their guilt and told

of the railways In interstate commerce and the transportation of United States mails have necessitated the oraployment of men who choose to accept employment under the terms of the decision, and who have the same indisputable right to work that others have to decline to work; and, “Whereas, the peaceful settlement of controversies in accordance with law and due respect for the established agencies of such settlement are essential to the security and wellbeing of our people. “Now, therefore, I. Warren G.

Striking Miners Live Without Conveniences

By United Netrs JOHNSTOWN, Pa., July 12.—Hundreds of women and children throughout the bituminous coal fields in western Pennsylvania are watching with anxious eyes the coal strike conference in Washington. They are families of union miners, evicted from company-owned houses. They live in army tents furnished by the United Mine Workers. Huddled together—in many instances entire families sheltered by a single tent —the miners live an existence devoid of the comforts of civilization.

REVEALS IDEA BACK OF HUGE CONCRETE PILES England Had Novel Program for Combating Under Sea Fighters. By CHARLES MoCAHN United Press Staff Correspondent. LONDON, July 12.—Mystery sup. rounding the huge concrete towers built by the admiralty just before tha armistice was cleared up when Lieu* tenant Commander •‘Kenworthy, during debate at the commons, explained that\they were new anti-submarine weapons. The Government consistently refused to say what they were for, one of them had been improvised as a lighthouse and the other, at Shoreham, Sussex, after attracting thousands of visitors, remained in the harbor unoccupied. During the submarine campaign, it was vitally necessary to keep open the Straits of Dover, the main channel for troops and munitions from England to France. The admiralty invented the towers to combat, the submarines. They were to be towed to sandbanks along the straits and sunk. They would have been occupied by the anti-submarine crews, where, reinforced by steel, they .would have become island forts. In addition, there would have been apparatus for the detection of submerged submarines by sound, and there would have been "keys” for exploding minefields through whiejj. the passage of submarines was suspected or established.
