THE CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR. It bats all how tli doinir of .1 worthy thini: onrr in a whii- and tlu- cor;.-r'iunt popularity, oes to ome ptorl:'.s hf-ad. ruidlos thfir hrains, and thou .-t.Trts them running off at th mouth. .tayor f 1 Flinson of Sea ttl, - f-pakinr t( for- a jritherini; ur.!T tin auspices of tlu American l2rlon, dcIaroJ: "If I V.'i r? a ,' t vi, m an .-c'v l',ak r If . !ln'l t can l th honorald discharges vranttl t the ydlow hounds conscirntious nhi'.'tor roP'aJ-'oii aft-r tlx- war.

This is pretty strong lamr'srie, and ipiii" as defiant of federal law a I. W. W-tsm. It afr nines that thr i no -uieh thintr as a really conscientious objector to wir, and that is a pretty dif'Vult assumption to make in this land which owes so much to Quakers and other pacific s.-cts. It would -.-Tr. that the dl-tinction should be ma b in th dot ntion ramps where these gentlemen were retaind lurinff thf war. Th objector who was really conscientious about his objection, who worked faithfully at whatever unwarlike but useful task was kiven him durinpr th period, who honestly tried to help his country, deserves, without question, his honorable discharp. He was disqualified by mind iuite as much as the I'.at-footrd boy was by body, t'onsress itself said soAs for the really yellow on.s and many wro found such nothing honorablo of any kind is ominr to them- Hut to lump th man whosi- spine is yellow with tho honest and loyal wearer of the Quakrr gray does not Found quite fair to the American who remembers the early days of his people. Congress its. -if took care of the true conscientious objector in the conscription law and be is as much entitled to his honorable discharge, or to his deferred classification, as the man who stayed at home to run his business, conduct his farm, or care. Tor Ids brood of children. Religious bigotry is themain thinpr that ails our friend Hanson in his dislike of the conpclcntlous objectors. One thing, at bast, he mifrht consider. He never found a true one among those enemies of the country that have afforded him occasion to become known. They never turn bolshc-vist or embrace 1 W. W-ism.

TRADE WITH GERMANY. Department of commerce reports show that Great Britain and the I'nited States ate rapidly renewing: trade with Germany. I'xports from this country to Germany from tho signing of the armistice up to Oct. 31 were over $52.000.000, and imports from Germany were about $.",':C''O00. Great Britain in the same pei iod sold Germany $ SO, 000,COO wnrth of floods and boucht -M. 03. 000 worth. The volume of trade is incrasinqr rapidly. Th United State today is selling nearly as much 5 tu IT to Oermnny as to all of South America. This i particularly interesting when we recall the propsuanJa in KnglanJ and America during trt war for a "r?rpetual boycott" against Germany. A Rood many people lost their head over that, particularly the American Defense society, which went so far as to arraign as pro-derman and traitor? people who pointed out that any such thing us a "perpetual boycott" of the enemy wa impossible and undesirable There are no patriotic objections raisvd now to trading with the Germans. Nearly everybody realizes that money made by selling goods to Germany is Just as good as money made by selling to any other country, and that it is foolish to deny ourselves anything that we need and cannot buy anywhere but in Germany. Nearly everybody sees, too. that unless Germany can revive her industry and trade she will be unable to pay h r war ohMnratiors. and will r- a last in dra on the prosperity rf all the allied countrus. including the United States.

THE ALLEGED MINE OPERATORS' AND WORKERS' CONSPIRACY." Institution by the uovi mm ut of a grand jury invfstigaticn of rumored conspiracies between mine operators an! min- workers, hinging responsibility oi the part of th form r .is well as the letter for failure of . oal-di-gers to return to woik with th- withdrawal o: th 'r;ke order as direct d by the federal court, 1.- a spb ndid accompaniment to the court's citation of the miners for onttmpt. The charges set forth by the district attorney in his reouct for a ;rand jury, r prt sent that the mir. operators vio',atd the I.ever ml ionc in aiiance of the .-ink, not pein.uti.n51 the men to work ar.d keeping duwn prjducti'n, tliis for tlie maintenance of high prices Thev art- held responsible

In like degree for the scarcity of coal with which the country in confronted after a month of mine Inactivity. f It is also claimed that riydit now, while the court's eitntlon for contempt is pending, conspiracies between mln operators and mine workers exist, under whbh the worker are paid by the operators to not return to work In certain competitive field for what reason heaven only know, but It 4s to be Investigated. It is hiyh time that the government rive some atervion to such anlea of our industrial dilemma. Such trickery on the part of employers of labor hag been resorted to incident to Htrike controversies, all too often, and almost always without consideration from go ernment.nl powers, while every little complaint acainat the worklnrman Is taken as all wooj and a yard widt wl th quite the same lack of consideration. The juirpo.se of the operators is, if they are Induluinie in such cussedne;, quite without question to bring the United Mine workers into ill-repute with the people of the country and destroy the union, by creating for It a fiat unpopularity. Kight h re the public interest steps in, the same as it did In applying for the injunction. The public demand is for coal, and union or no union, operator or no operator, miner or no miner, the public Fense declines to suffer from the machination? of any of them, in the nature of conspiracies to hinder the? mining of coal. If the operators are up to that kind of work, r.o punishment ould be, to great for them, and here is hoping that the grand jury does them Justice, and after the grand Jury the petit jury. In case indictments are found- Let u have respect for tho law and puMic. welfare from all angles-

ARCHITECTURAL NECKWEAR. The question, what to buy him for Christmas, has found one novel answer. "We particularly direct the attention to neckwear," advertises one store in an eastern city. There arrived but a few days :u;n, it sa-, "four-in-hand ties whose purity of colorings and tone re exquisitely rich and harmonious. Their patterns were sketched in the Central library. Hue de iVKcheilo, Paris, and dpict the architectural designs of the famous war-stricken cathedral of Rheims. Themes included are those of liie Kose Window, here pictured, a window above tin central portal, and groups of three rosettes on tho south facade " It sounds absurd. And yet there is another side, beautifully proportioned design has just as good a right to he found in neckwear as in church windows. Certainly the exquisite rosettes of Rheims, reduced to miniature, must, be handsomer than some of the cheaply drawn figures so often seen, lacking in all imagination and in all respect for aesthetic principles. The ad proceeds: "In the same class of worthiness are the Champleve designs sketched in the Metropolitan Art museum from enamels on the Morgan collection. The colorings and materials are similar to tho Rheims designs, the Hgure-s smaller, price same." If the enamel designs are really beautiful, and if they are suitable for transfer to textiles, why not? There is nothing strange to an artist or designer about such a transfer, which is common enough. The only strange thing is that the .store should know whence came the designs and should advertise the knowledgeIt concludes. "Let us aid you to select a sulk shirt to wear with the tie.'t Wf defend the Rheims and Champleve neckwear. We defy the reader to ridicule it. It is probably very good. Yet, somehow, we fall back both amused and appalled before this esthetic triumph. Ah. yes. we will indeed allow them to t-elect the shirt. Wo wouldn't dare!

Tacoma has a sense of humor as well as a sense of justice. When a jail-full of bolshevists went on a hunger-strike. Tacoma simply let them have their way about it. Whereupon the strike came to an abrupt end.

About this time of year everybody who will have to pay an income tax begins to get sore about it. Likewise everybody who won't have to pay an income tax.

One year ago everybody was rejoicing because industrial conditions were so good in the United States.

anotiii:k political, fiasco. (Tho Warsaw Union.) Thouch the spirit which conceived and the methods which have characterized the republican "Investigations'' into the conduct of the war have merited the condemnation they have received even from organs of the g. o. p., there partisan scrutinies of democratic administration have not been devoid oi value. They have completely refuted the republican charges that there was crookedness, corruption or incompetence among those in high places. Moreoer, these inquiries have demonstrated that tho republicans undertook them not 50 much to discover and punish wrongdoing as to find material for the next presidential campaign. These two tilings have Inen made abundantly evident to tho people of the country. They have become clear also to the shrewder republican leaders, who are now manifesting a desire to drop proceedings and seek other and better issues. The democrats, on the other hand, have never sought refuge in any denial of the great sums of money spent but have constantly conceded that such would be found an inseparable by-product of th stress and pressure under which the country labored to enter and win the war quickly and decisively. The administration had the choice between two courses when this country declared war against Germany, in April. 1917. There was the option of moving slowly and cautiously to prevent loss of money, but with inevitable sacrifice of more previous time; or of making haste at the rik of waste Economy of money purchased at the expense of delay would ha cost thousands of lives and perhaps the victory itselfIf the administration had elected to economize with dollars while it postponed effective participation in the conflict; if Germany had crushed the allies while we haggled over expenses, then indeed the republicans would have been able to bring an indictment against democratic management of the war-

Money-Talks Before Children By Winifred Black

Sho is going to high school and she has to ask for money once in a while. Money for a class pin. money for class dues, money for class refreshments and every time she mentions tho subject, there is a doloous moan from mother and a scolding from father. Sister Kate says she ought to be ashamed of herself. Brother Tom grows sarcastic and asks her "How many pairs of silk stockings have you hidden away in your bureau drawer?" And she's desperate and she thinks of running away from home and earning her own living and going to high shool at night and then they'll see! Poor girl! I'm sorry for her, aren't you? And I'm sorry for her mother and I can't help feeling a faint, little throb of sympathy for father, too. Poor father, he is trying so hard to put by a penny or fo for a rainy day and it does seem as if he never gets a nice new $10 bill folded up in his wallet without having somebody come and make him break It into small change and when that's done obracadabra it's gone. The Allowance PLan. But sister can't go to nigh school and be different from all the rest of the girls she really can't. She's different enough now. She doesn't buy sundaes after school nor take chocolate to class with her She doesn't go to the movies herself rr invite others to go, but when it tomes to class dues really now, I think brother might chip In and help her out and smoke less cigarets that particular week. The thing to do in that family is to have a plain, simple, commonsense talk about the whole situation. Let father and mother make up their minds whether they really can afford to have daughter finish high school or not. If they, can, let them give her a certain allowance, so much a month, and make her stick to that allowance, counting the dues and the extras and have them stay counted. You can't smooth them out by pretending they're not there. After the thing is talked out and the allowance is paid the first of every month, the matter will be settied once and for all. and this high school girl won't go to bed in tears so many nights and father and mother won't wish they'hadn't, when they see her come down to breakfast with swollen eyes so many mornings. Nagging, fretting, scolding they never did any good in the world and have spoiled moro dispositions and broken up more homes than all the other habits in the calendar of habits. Let's lio Careful. People ought to be careful how they talk about money before children. I remember .a few years ago in Chicago two little children wandered away from home, fell into the canal and were drowned. They left

a letter behind them saying that they couldn't bear to stay at home and eat so much, when meat and potatoes cost so much money, so they ran away to try and earn their own living and the mother who loved them dearly died of a broken heart six weeks after the poor little things were found locked in each other's arms at the bottom of the clear

water. They hadn't meant to commit suicide, but they were tired and desperate and bewPdered, so they probably fell in. one trying to help the other. They were the idols and the delight of the home from which they ran away. The father and mother Idolized them, but they were worried about money matters and talked about the price of food every' time they sat down at the table. Thev didn't realize In the leat

v hat a dreadful thing they were doing. Ever since I have heard of that case 1 have been careful not to throw any cloud of apprehension over the young hearts that look to mo for comfort and maintenance. Things are so tragic to children. They can't understand that words are sometimes merely words, even when they are spoken by the allpowerful, all-knowing grown-ups, who are the arbiters of their fat 4 Let's be careful what we say to the children and what we say before them. , Strange seeds spring to mysterious fruition in the hearts of youth.
