effort ever made In human history for the development of liberty and the right of men to maintain their independence, unfettered, unbossed, unhindered by any conspiracy of any kind. It Is necessary to use 'very plain language at the present time and to call a murderer a murderer, whether to a dark alley a man is filled for the purpose of robbery or whether in open daylight or in the dark a man Is murdered by a mob which seeks to prevent a man working.

UNJUST CRITICISM. As far as gettina square deal these days from either mill operators or strikers, the newspapers of the country stand between the devil and the deep blua sea. The harder they try to get the facts and nothing but facts, the more roundly are they condemned. We have on the one hand e-uch men as E. H. Gary and W. P. Gleason coming to bat with the statements that they have nothing to say. On the other hand it is about as hard for a camel to jump through the eye of a needle as it is to get fair and impartial statements from some 'of the strike leaders. They do not -want to be quoted and they spend a portion of their time at mass meetings damning the press. As far as we see it. the newspapers are making the best of a herculean task. They are endeavoring to sift from unverified reports and rumors the truth and nothing but the truth. None of them is printing lies as they have been accused of doing. Certainly they are not going to take sides In the issues of this controversy. The only side'they are on is the side of the great American public the millions upon millions who have no direct Interest In the outcome. Xo matter who wins in the colossal argument, the public will have, in one u ay or another, to pay the bill in the long run. Of course, there will have to be a goat in this strike and the newspapers might as well bit as anybody else. It seems as if a determined effort Is being made at labor mass meetings to make the press the scapegoat. Fitzpatrick. the strike leader, said in Pittsburgh yesterday that the strikers in the Chicago district "were getting a raw deal from the press." How? Where?

THE AMERICAN LEGION. The large gains reported In the membership of the American Legion should give general satisfaction because of the increasing evidence that this national society of veterans of the great war, organized for patriotic purposes. Is not going to be content with mere talk, but intend to act when the welfare of the nation la jeopardized. It is becoming more and more clear that these welltrained soldiers' are willing: to reinforce the National Guard in giving military protection to communities menaced by disorder incidental to strikes. A significant example Is given in the resolution adopted by the American Legion of Massachusetts in reference to the crisis in Boston which was brought about by the strike of the union policemen. Threats are made that other labor unions of that city will Join in a general strike in support of the policemen. The vote which has been taken on the matter is now being counted. All subordinate posts of the American Legion have been called upon by the state officers of the organization to be ready, in the event of the strike, to fight on the side of law and order. The resolution bid3 members to "urge those who can do so to join the organized forces of the state which are under the governor's control; obtain the names of all who can be relied upon in case of emergency to assist in the preservation of law and order; arrange local organizations for such men as do not join the militia to be available in case of emergency, and communicate the results to state headquarters as soon as possible. The American Lgion means business- It Is a force that must be reckoned with by the elements that incite disorder. The grc-ater its size the greater will be its influence. If. as is hoped, a majority of the 4.000,000 men who recently composed the United States army join the Legion, it will be invincible.

I The Passing Show

FACE JT SQUARELY. How true it is we do not know, but the New York papers of last week told of how one man had been murdered by a gang of laborers who attacked him because he was at work while they were on strike, and from various parts of the country come reports of riots and bloodshed and the terrorism of men who have dared to assert their right to work, uatrammeled by regulations. This is a situation which must be faced squarely and fairly, or else the country is doomed. Xo one would for one moment say that laboring men have not a right, legally and morally to organize into unions and to use the?e unions for the betterment of their own condition whenever end wherever this can be done by legal and moral means, but the moment that union labor overrides the law all human liberty demands that terrorism shall be suppressed. Lincoln said that this government could not live part free and part slave. If Lincoln weTe alive today he would say that this government, and civilization itself, cannot live partly free and partly controlled by the power of men who are .taught that crime is not a crime if committed in the name of union labor. The American people will have to meet this situation or else make up their minds that the American government will ceas-; to exist and that Bolshevism, run wild, will build its accursed work of chaos on the ruins of the American republic, the greatest

PUMPKIN PIE. The poet who sang "the melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year," meaning thereby that autumn

had arrived in the. offing with winter only hull down on the horizon and coming along at a thirty-knot clip, must, ihave had his mind on an empty coal bin. That, it must

J-be admitted, would be enough to give anybody the blues.

But why look on the gloomy side? There are a lot of things about the fall season that might be worse. Consider, for the sake of illustration, our old standby of late

September and early October, the luscious pumpkin pia.

No, no. Mr. Hallroom, we do not refer to that thin, anemic,

P discouraged looking monstrosity peddled out over lunch

counters at ten cents per cut. Before the war the price 'was five cents, and dear at that. This variety of the venerable and venerated New England dish is the black sheep of an old and honorable family, dating back, we understand, to Mayflower days in the vicinity of Plymouth Rock. Unlike some families of long lineage it has not run to seed, but keeps right on improving with each generation. Only the kind that hangs around lunch bars and restaurants has deterioratedPumpkin pie comes each autumn like a long-lost friend of our early youth. It is at once a reminder of boyhood days and sunlit summer seasons, and a solaca for the hardships of winter to come. BroWn of complexion, sturdy as to size and alluring as to general aspect, the pumpkin pie that mother u?ed to make (does still for that matter) was a thing of beauty and a joy forever for its flavor is a continuous delight that lingers lovingly about the tongue on the bare thought of its sweet succulence. Melancholy days, indeed! There "ain't no such thing" for the fellow with a full quarter-size clab of old-time

J pumpkin pie beside him.

FAILURE out of running his own business WON'T keep him from trying to run yours. WHEN a woman locks ! PARTICULARLY well in a new fall hat , I THE neighbor women will say "HUH, you wouldn't catch me putting

WE must be more vigilant In our hunt for THE old-fashioned round garter LOOKING over the labor situation WE must admit that the unions certainly GOT fine weather for it. WE distinctly remember that at one time IN our young life we ached to be a CIRCUS clown AND we often think how much betfr

( Vision of Women's Clubs" will be fot- ' lowed through the. year by the studies I of arious timely subjects, including Americanization, child welfare problems, children's gardens, the sanitation of grocery stores, a study of community

A BULLETIN STGOESTIOX Just suppose club members of Indiana, that an opportunity were given to your individual clubs to have regularly for a nominal sum, say once each month, a neat little Federation pamphlet of from four to eight pages, coming direct from the president's headquarters and containing important messages from the president herself and from other state officers, district chair men. heads oi departments and chairman of committees, also reports direct from other clubs as to what they are doing :n the way of club work would you ffive it your support? That seems to be a real need in Indiana as seen from headquarters. The state Bulletin has been able to do an efficient work, to be sure, but Us mailing list has necessar;l been limited and that has meant that many clubs in the state have not had the opportunity Of reading its messages. In fact, it has been necessary to refuse some requests for the Bulletin in order that the mailing list be kept within the limit. Clubs are asked to consider the advisability of a state-wide bulletin for Indiana and send their delegates to the convention prepared to vote upon the question. Other state federations have live magaiznes. The Indiana Federation with Its continuous growth needs some medium by which every club can keep in touch with the state work. We need a state publication. Will yuu give it your support?

STl'DY IN CITIZENSHIP Mrs. Edward Franklin White, chairman of the Political Science Committee in both the state and the General Federation, has prepared a simple outline of study in Cittdenship for use in club programs. The topics for study are as follows: 1. Woman's Relation to the Family as a Citizen. 2. Woman"? Relation to the Community as a Citizen. 3. Woman's Relation to the State as a Citizen. A. Woman's Relation to the Nation as a Citizen. 5. Government Through Political Perties.. 6. Iroperty Rights and Duties. These topics are subdivided and analyzed and may be explained to suit the rieds. By enclosing a stamp for reply, this outline may be secured of Mrs. White, 5222 E. Michigan St., Indianapolis.

In time for the convention at Kokomo. Mrs. White will have ready a third edition of the Quiz Book, which will contain about 225 questions founded on this outline, and serve to- direct study and research. STEW CLUB DIRECTORIES. Mrs. John E. Moore, state president, has received several more year books from clubs. The contents show some interesting and profitable studies outlined for the coming season. The Woman's Club of Clinton, in the Fifth district, will study the problems of reconstruction. Among the general topics to be considered are: The status of women immigration, the broken fam-
