CAPITAL STRIKING FOR PROFITS. It U labor's turn to complain. Aftrr all the yclpir.fi: th.tt has been golnt; the rounds for moons, hlamin? high wages and under-production for the hi?h cost of llvir.nr, plutocracy is beginning to phow Its dirty hands. We uaeil tho injunction to fjuell the ccal strikers and the militia to subdue the fcteelworkers, the popular rry being for production, coupled with a ?necr at labor's demands for more profits for itpejf. If it Is wrens for libor to chock production by Quitting work. In a tim of shortage. Is It not just as wror.fr for capital to check production by closing Its factories? This aoeusinc; parallel is drawn by employes of tho American Woolen Co., which has recently closed many of its plants in MatMchusetts and Ithod" Island. Representatives of the employes Insist that this is nothing le.s3 than a "strike" on the part of capital. Intended to k,eep up price. ju?t as labor strikes for higher wages. Insofar as it is calculated to hurt production, they argue that it i.s in violation of tha Iver act. They also argue that it Is morally vron. inasmuch as It tends to deprive the public of sorely needed woolen cloth, and force consumers to pay exorbitant prices for what they pet. and a'so imposes hardship on thousands of families by throwing people- out of work unnecessarily. This Is true, if thf so-called woolen trust has really closed Us mills for the rea?on charged, and not, as It maintains, from necessity, owing to a lack of orders to keep thrt plants running. Whether there was enough business to keep the plants going could probably be determined from an examination of the company's books. Thn matter Is not simple, however. The element of price enters ir.to it at the -very beginning. If there was a lack of new orders, was it because the manufacturers asked too much for their cloth? Undoubtedly lower prlres would have stimulated business. The president of the company explains that "th margin of prrflt as fixed lis February would not permit of a reduction in the prico of cloth." Hu was vhat margin a fair one. or a rrofiteering one? Interest is lent to tho controverry by the fact that in the sim1 citie? where the "trust" plants have closed, the "independent" woolen mills are still operating. Surely here is something that the federal department of Justice should look into. L'ither a wronged corporation .hould b justified or a wronged public should be protected. U i.s no tim to tolerate "capital strikes." We have always had them, but we are gradually appro. ichine an age of nearer-consistency, and what is "sauce fcr tho goose is sauce for the pander." The attention of tbe federal department of justice might also be directed to the attitude of the Pennsylvania railroad, in the matter of laying off its men, following the award of the railroad labor board Iikewle with th coal barons. Hituminous miners have been enjoined from itrikinc:, but where is th mandate requiring the mine operators to put the mjr.ers back to work, and let them produce? None, and tho people are raying the penalty in tha high pnoe of coal. Kvery coal mine in the country should be placed under a federal receivership, with instruction to put those miners to work and keep them at work until every coal bin in the country i full. There is just as much law for it as there was for restraining the miners. Pome day. perhaps, America wi'.l grapple with this problem as it should and s ive itself from revolution. If capital is to be permitted to trie for profits, to stifle production, and to kerf up price, railing: at labor for demanding wag-s and :horter hours, the latter that more men may have employment, merely serves to fan the M.imes of hate and revolution lurks Jus: around the corner.

"HARDING AND HATE" OR "GOTT STRAFE WILSON" AS G. O. P. CAMPAIGN SLOGAN. Mayor Carson's idea that the republicans hhould wak up and open their Indiana campaign in South Bend Id a good one; a good one bu-t for one thing. How are they golr.f to bring Candidate Harding here; that 1. without bringing his '"front porch" alcr.& thl. or without snatching him away from that perch? Do that and lo. what then becomes of their "looks like McKinley, halls from the same täte as McKinley, will preside over the nation like McKinley, and is voir.g to campaign like McKinley," elogan? Poor McKinley! He seems mere and more likely to be discredited e . ry day. More and more we hear it from rt-publicaji h. ad-;u'.r ters that. well, "it was never definitely decided" to imitate McKinley by lucn wholesale In the first place. Mr. Harding ia foing to make a ech or two it: large centers utyhow, and we ob?-rve. speaking of "slogans." that the Harding managers are advertising for a nw o&e, &d are willing lo pay for it. That is re

publicanism for you. With no Imucs that rt!r th soul, they have to po out and to' to make the Ur villi money. We are pin? to end the two that head this comment and see if they cannot rake oon at leat an "X." "Harding and Hate." It h all that the republicans have to run on. Their platform la a "hymn of hate;" their candidate's acceptance speech was a "hymn of hate;" he -en hates hlma'lf to the point that "if elected," h? is going to "restore party. government to its constitutional functions as against personal ?ocrnment," and "re-c6tabl!sh Kich coordination between the executive officea anl the tenate." as, if we read It in the lljjht of republican history, will leave the presidency naught but a senatorial "rubber stamp." If that isn't enouRh. and the sr. o. p. -wants to mik sure 'that tho populace, particularly of proGerman mould, will understand. "Gott Strafe Wllson" would make a fit alternative. Each is explanatory of the other. They constitute the "multum In r,arvo" of the party's inspirations and Its aspirations. If there Is an ounce of sincerity or regard for truthful application, in the Harding flogan committee, we ought to gt J25 on one and $10 on the other. You cannot tell. however. Probably these "boughten" slogans will never get any farther than the g. o. p. 's JlO.OOO-contest made platform got at the Chicago convention. It never reached the platform committee at all. It was too progressive; too remedial, too positive, too assertive of truth, we anticipate, and If there Is anything that the republicans do not want in the campaign this year, it is the truth. Without legitimate Issues they hope to win on humbuggery. They "welcome a referendum on the League of Nation?," saith the once mooted McKinleyan ghost, but bays he, quoting from his acceptance speech: "It will avail us nothing to discuss in detail the League covenant," and there you have it. They "welcome a referendum" on what they propose to say the covenant says, rather than what it says, their appeal not being based on the "details." but a humdrum combination of "Harding and Hate" and "Gott Strafo Wilson." hoping to utilize prejudice, impulse, partisan pique and pin-headed ignorance. You have never seen the text of the league of. Nations covenant in any of the anti-League literature that has been distributed, nor heard an anti-Ieaguo orator rive you the League language that he presumes to criticise. It avails them "nothing to discuss in detail the League covenant,' can avail them nothing except certain defeat. Should the people find out once, which they wil, tho amount of pettifoggery, misrepresentation and fraud, that has been resorted to to poison them against the League of Nations, the republicans have just sense en-ough left to know that their name will be "Dennis." Yes. we think we have the slogan, one of them, or two, that the g. o. p. should adopt: "Harding and Hate" or '"Gott Strafe Wilson" the mainspring of their inspiration, and the source of their activities. In fact, whether they "blazon them from every dead-wall in the cities and towns of the country, coast to coast," or not.

RAILROAD EXCURSIONS. Some of the big railroads are abolishing 'Vxcursion rates" altogether this year. Most of the others are offering far less than they used to in the way of excursions. It Ls the end of an era of stimulating and competing for passengc- traffic, and the beginning of an era in which freight is king. It is more than the railroads can do now to haul their freight. Goods are regarded as more remunerative and more Important economically than people, and so, contrary to the old policy, they have right of way. Only ?uch r a("?.nper accommodations are provided as will not interfere unduly with the handling of freight trains. And thus "traveling for pleasure" is a vanishing pastime. It Is becoming prohibitively expensive. Moreover, there is little "pleasure" left in it nowadays, what with shrunken, inconvenient passenger train schedules and poor Pullman and dining car pervlce. It cannot be helped, perhaps, but it Is a doleful thing o contemplate. Alas for the old-tlms excursion trains, and the cheap round-trip rat?s to far-away convention cities and vacation places! Will railroad travel ever again be what it used to bi? Or must touring be done by motor car?

OF INTEREST TO FRANCE. Mrs. Benedict Ie Croix of Worcester, Mass., recently gave birth to four children at once, all boys. In six years the couple had 13 children, the others being three set of twins and one of triplets. Although birth reports of this kind would cause rejoicing in France, Arthur Brisbano Is alarmed for fear they may become common in which case, he optimistically predicts, the human race will engage in continuous warfare to keep down the population. Hut Brisbane has no occasion to lose sleep. According to statisticians, the simultaneous birth of four children occurs only one time in 757.000.

The Horoscope

SATURDAY, JULY 31. The astral forces for this day are not in very friendly attitude, according to the astrological chart. The rule of the troublesome planet, Mars, is strong, indicating rash and impetuous conduct, quarrels and litigation growing out of this, and generally intemperate and excitable conditions. This may be carried into the domestic, social and affectional relations, since Venus is also in most unkindly mood, being opposed by Luna. The situation is ,not helped any by an inimical Neptune, threatening duplicity, treachery and erratic conditions or occurrences. Those whose birthday it is should bo- careful to tvold quarrels and consequent litigation. In business and at- home they should conduct themselves amieibly and temperately. A child born on this day will be Inclined to be quick in temper and speech and headstrong.

More Truth Than Poetry

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

A PA UTA PLATFORM. We iew with alarm the man eating shark; We point 1 ith pride to the setting sun. We highly commend the song of the lark; The poisonous snake we severely shun. In fact we have very decided views On almost everything barring booze. We hold that burglars are bold and bad, We're strong for virtue, and books, and schools. We find all funerals sad, We don't believe in the wo.d of fools. We disapprove of a rainy day But as for booze, we have nothing to say. We fearlessly speak for the good and right. We boldly denounce all evil and crime, We firmly d'lare that black's not white. We give great praise to the summer time. We bravely say what we really think. Of all great topics, excepting drink. Of what we have done wc are truly proud. Our record's a glorious thing to see. We say straight out that the other crowd. Is all that a rarty should not be. Our platform makes our party Hut booze Is safer to let alone! (Copyright. 1920.)

WHAT'S IN A NAME

LVITLLA. Luclla i.s not the simple combination of Louise and Ella nor yet Lu!u and Elsa as many people suppose. It is a distinct history of its own. It appears early in Welsh genealogis where it is spelled Llew. The first blow was the king cf the Orkneys who married King Arthur's sister and was the father of CJwalchmal. From this name was formed the masculine Llewelyn of romance. Another Llewelyn came over to Ireland with Richard Strongbow. History does not record when and where the feminine Luella was formed. It seem.s merely to have sprung up in England when need arose for a feminine counterpart to the i opular Llewelyn who rapidly became Lionel under the magic touch of romance and poetry. Luella has had much more vogue in this country than in her native Wales. It is considered rather quaint and old fashioned nowadays, but it is still in common usage. Tne ruby is Luella's talismanic stone. It will keep her strong and healthy and will bring her material wealth. Friday is her lucky day and six her lucky nlmber. (Copyright, 1920.)
