STOr THAT STRIKE A railway rtrlke. paralyzing all Industry, adding to human discomfort and multiplying every difficulty fared by the pt op'.e I unthinkable, yet one of ration wide extent impends unless It te stopped by public opinion. There ls a body at Washington called th railway Labor board, organized for preventing Jua: such happenings. There are thre Interests upon that board one repre?entlTirf the workers, another the own era and tho thirl the general public. The group representing the public has spoken. It jtcfrgcfoa a a rnan of kteping the roads running that tho owners put Into effect at once a reduction of rates authored last July. iLf voice is the only authoritative expression of what Is best for tho public lt argument Is that the reduction of rate will lower the cost of living to consumer -and bring about a condition whoro wago reductions ran be nuule without public Injury. That group, presumably, has examined the facta In the case. It ha er oken. Neither the greM of the owners for profit and dividends nor the obstinacy of the railway workers who refuf" to accept any part of the burden of readjustment, should be permitted to bring about a national calamity. Until It can be shown that tho so-called "public group" dofvi not represent public Interest, it's word should be binding. Industry mu.vt be kept alive. The roads must run and freight kept moving. This la no hour for an industrial conflict.

that public conscIencA will demand Its complto enforcement. No law is rongr than the public cntiment b-

j hind it. If murder, robbery, blackmail or other

crime did not shock the conscience or tne great majority, the laws ngalnvt th-?m would ! Ineffective. A law against robbery me ana nothing to the Albanian, for centuries a community of thieves. The stiength of prohibition lies in tho fact that each day it I proving its worth and benefit. The Increased number of comforLs In homes which were formerly ravaged by liquor appetites, the growln bank accounts of men who before had none, theacknowledged fact that fewer homes are being wrecked by the Insanity of drunkenness are th things that are making prohibition moro popular and tho law itself more effective. Men aro coming to know, in rapidly increasing numbers, that whisky wnsi a curse and that a dry nation Is a happier, more comfortable nation. Chain gang have a harnh wound to the ear and heart. Few are terrified from crime by tho thought of punLshment. Th-j personal degradation of any human being, convicted or not, but add.-? to hl3 criminal impulse. Less than one hundred and fifty years ago boys were hanged for stealing. Women were once put in the stocks for gonslping. Cutting off men's ?axs was once a common punishment. Brutality of any ort has never lifted or saved a man. Its only result wan to further brutalize him. It is likely that the wie politicians of the wet forces will Join hanJs with this latest suggestion of the good-Int ?ntiond, knowing as they must, t-fal there are still thoso who are unconvinced as to tho benefits of prohibition and who might be turned against it by an act which was repellant to their instincts of humanity. Instead of demanding particularly harsh punishments for offenders, a real work in behalf of prohibition can be done by so thoroughly convincing the public of its benefit that the people will demand that the business bo wiped out. The remedy lies In an Increased conviction that violation of the law is as s-hocking to conscience a crimes of violence, not In harshness of punishments.

HISTORY'S LATEST IRONY The Turkish woman, for centuries a harem rfave, now has hope of liberation from that thralldom which has prevented her from keeping pace In development with her sisters In other lands. There have been efforts for years on the part of Christian organizations to wipe out this stain and blot. Prayers have failed and protests have gone unheeded by the sultana who have ruled from time to time. Turkey Is now under I.trltlsh control and the wild orgies, the open barter of women, the extremity of debauchery in which the Turkish woman is an unwilling participant, have aroused the conscience cf France. There is to be a protest on tho part of the French government, lodged probably with the Leagu of Nations, and a demand made by the women of France that the harem a an institution be abolished and the veiled ladles permitted to walk out into the sunlight to nssume a status above that of chattel and slave. Henry Watterson once delivered a very convincing address, showing that men of the south, labelled cavaliers and presumably dominated only by emotions of chivalry, wer; at heart 2uritans and that the descendants of Plymouth Rock, designated Purltans, were In reality the chivalrous cavaliers. Of the same cloth Is the striking fact that Britain, advertised zw phlegmatic, defender of virtue, and founded upon the rocks of sober regard for the Ten Commandments, sits silent, while France, whose capital has been known as tho center of lascivious, luxurious lust, steps forward to protect the virtue of womanhood. History ha always been Ironical, rather than con. latent.

GREENFIELD ACTS The city of Grecn:i?ld. in Hancock county, believes that "faith without works In dead" pnd also that words without action are idle. It's civic organization, which proudly prints upon its letter heads "Kiley'a homo and ours," more as a tribute than as a matter of boosting, took the callIns of the unemployment conference eriously. It did not wait for tho national conference to count the number of idle and make up Its list of recommendations but proceeded upon the theory that the best remedy for Idlenc Is work. The organization found that tne city had considerable money In Its treasury and that ILancooJt county had some funds and demanded that theso dollars bo made available to solve the problem. It demanded that all public works be carried out at once and that Idle men be given a chance to earn a living. Then it appealed to private citizen to haw any i.dd Jobs of rep.Hirhig that had been rut off, done this winter. Tho plan is working, it Is reported. Ths remedy for Joblessnew Is a pob. The way to settle the unemployment question !s to give employment. Tho governmnt at "Washington, with vast Irrigation projects all mapped out that will add to th nubile wealth, with miles of roads ne eked In evensection, might learn from Greenfield and take the price cf a couple of battleships to accomplish the double object cf making needed public Improvements nnd giving men who want work and cannot find H a chsnce. o Only way icm rlrla will ever get Into the movies Ls buy a ticket, o THE ONLY REMEDY Enthusiasts In any cause are quite likely to rua into excesses and to Jeopardize their real aims by extremes. The Anti-Saloon League appealed for its support to the Christian conscience of men and women, who believe In humane principles and the "brotherhood of man. Its success was due to the fact that the cause It advocated promised to wipe out one of the great ca uses of human misery, of unhapplness and brutallty of man to man. Now its Ohio branch comes forward with a demand that every' person convicted of violating the prohibition laws be f-nteneed to work upon a chain can? as an additional punishment to a term of Imprisonment. More reforms have been wrecked ty their advocates than have been prevented by their enemies. The real friend of prohibition will recognize that tm aucccsa lie in o reneral an acceptance of the law

WHO OWNS A BOY? A most interesting legal and social question has been raised by the action of a Texas mother who has attempted to "deed" her three-months-old boy to another woman. A lawyer wan found who drew the papers, describing the child as a "chattel" and it has been placed upon the records of the county. The old idea that there is any ownership of children, even by parents, is passing and while lawyers are eiuibbling about the powible rights of inheritance of this boy, dlscucsir.g the effect of this new legal document upon his future .status should tho woman who holds the deed die, the law and public opinion have more or le-ss settled that every child belongs to the state. The selective service law was enacted upon the theory that the rights of the government to the services of citizens are above any private right. While always asserting the control of children, it might be remarked that In many communities the state shows little interest in the child beyond sumptuary laws proscribing the duties of parents. There are compulsory school attendance laws, child labor laws, prevention against crueltlee 'but very few mothers' pensions acts and very few official organisations to see that the "property of the state" in child form is preserved through provisions for securing proper care when parents may be ununable to furnish it. The most pricele-in right of every child is a mother's love and protection. The most useful esset of the government is the care which good mothers give to their children. "When financial difficulties drive mothers into "deeding" away fiielr children, much as they mis?ht a pet dog, the real party in interest ought to find some way of helping that mother keep her own child and giving to it the care and love which generates every Ideal upon which America has been built. o "Good for a Headache." reads an adv. Most people want something bad for a headache.

OthQrEdiforsThanOars TIIC .VILMS COXraiEXCE." (Ilnltltnorc Sun.) The invitations to Belgium, Holland and Portugal to participate in the armament conference in Washington will make It possible to assemble about one board the representatives of all nations which have a decided Interest in the Far East, and the inclusion of the three additional nations will serve to center the attention of the conference mort definitely on the Pacific. The French have never been able to free themselves from the idea that the conference will in some way attempt to influence their domestic military program, for the outstanding fact in France Ls the army, and any discussion of the limitation of armaments Implies revision of the relations between France and central Europe. It may be of service therefore, and it Is certainly in line with the administration's policy of non-intervention In Europe, to Insure that the conference shall fix Its gaze on the Far East and net the country Just east of the Ithine. The problems of the Pacific aro certainly of enough importance to deserve the undivided attention of the delegates. corrrnt. (San FTnncisct'"!Scw?.) Copper prices advance a trifle. That cheers an Industry that has been nearer dead than any other. Better days are ahead for copper. Steinmetz has learned how to send 1,000,000 volt 1.00; miles. That means, we are close to the Electrical Age. when electric power will take the lead away from coal and gasoline. Water power will be harnessed. Coal will be burned at mines, turned into electric current for transmission to distant points. The Electrical Age will depend on copper. Fe industries have such a future. o MOVING.

DU J LB NESS IS AN AWFUL CURSE The News-Times ran a content last week, asking its readers which was th? greatest woman in American history Martha "Washington. Dolly Madison, Barbara Frletche, Molly Pitcher. Betsy Ross. Poeohontas and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Of course all the contestants knew that Martha was Oeorge's woman, and

that ILarriet Beecher Stowe won !

fame with the way she played Little Eva In "Uncle Tom's Cabin." bu some of the others seemed to stoi some of the brothers and sisters. The idea of anyone living In this enlightened age that don't know that Dolly Madison Is the name of a cigar and thi '.etsy Ross bakes for the South I Und Bread company, al the bulk of the time makes a bread named after her.- And who among you can say that they never heard of Pooohontas coal? We'll have to confess that we aro a little lame In our own Information on this party, Mollle Pitcher, but we presume this is the nickname for a baseball player.

Ddilv Poem

SONG OF KING CONSTANTIXE I'm a wily and far sighted monarch With an eye on the sweet bye and bye; Some bone-headed rulers may languish in coolers When thrown from their thrones; but not I! Though other great sovereigns go hungry I'll never be scantily fed; My purse won't grow lanky while still there's a Yankee My royal relations can wed. I have seen many scepters grow shaky And palaces totter and fall; I have read in the headlines. "ExKings In the Breadlines!" And never have worried at all. No matter how lavish my living. No matter how much I may draw For balls and cotillions, Lspend the millions Of my Pittsburger daughter-in-law. But still with an eye on the future, Lest her son with the dollars goes through, That somehow or other he'll get from his mother. Why he's in the family too. And so, though my subjects depose me And drive me unkindly away,, I'll have no employment except the enjoyment Of an Income from Pittsburg P. A, I'm a wily and far sighted monarch. As I think that I recently said, Some kings of tomorrow may well need to borrow Their houses and clothing and bread. But the troubles of bankrupted sovereigns Will matter as nothing to me, I'll not lack for rations when half my relations. Own mills In the land of the free.

THE LIMIT. The lady just east of my flat Ponfte-sse a shrill-singing cat. The people below Have a poodle or so Their barking is loud, but I bear it; Tho man at my west has a flute Which waktH me at elawn with Its toot. It's a (bit of a strain But I still remain sane Till the lady above got a parrot. I flnid I am able to laugh In spite of each loud phonograph; When tennants have fancies For two-o'clock dances It's fun. and I'm witting to sh"are it; But oh, gentle Uady above, Though I'm müld, quite? as mild as a dove. You'd grow pa3id Jn tint If you had but a hint Of the things that I think of that parrot! I'm Kick of the. maddening screech Which you may imagine is speech; That bird in his cage Makes me purple with rage. And as for my hair well, I tear it; I hat to be raucous and rough, But, listen enough Is enough, Put the muffler upon Tha darn pest, or I swun You'll ft9 mourning the death of a parrot!

When We Women

decide to have a party, the masculine members of the household can't see "why" it takes so much fuss and preparation. But they don't know what a party means to us. It isn't only preparing entertainment and food not by any means. At the first thought of a regular party we begin to look at our homes with a more critical eye. And usually we find something to be freshened up about it. Usually the curtains are the object of attack and they are either cleaned or laundered or new ones bought. Now that fall days are here and winter is close at hand, entertaining at home will be more often thought of and we have a wide assortment of the curtains and drapes that will just suit. 50-inch Orinoka Madras in rose, blue and green is $3.00 a yard. Orinoka in silk finished Madras in a beautiful shimmery rose, blue and gold and the new silver green at $3.50. Blue, mulberry and brown is $2.00. 50 inches wide is a two-toned Sunray in changeable tones at $3.50 a yard. Damask for drapery, upholstery, portieres and pillows is $7.00. Velour in plain and two-toned for drapery, portieres and upholstering, pillows and table runners, is $6.00. Tfrpestry for upholstering, pillows and table runners is $3.75. $7.50 and $8.00 a yard. Madras in all colors, 36 inches wide, at $1.00 and $1.50 a yard 45 inch at $1.50. Pongee, 33 inches wide, at $1.10 and $1.25 50 inch Pongee at $2.50.
