Rev. Harvey S. Hanson, an Episco-
palian clergyman, argued in favor OF
temperance vs. prohibition, alleging
that IL man is prevented from drink
ing he will crave liquor all the more.
Rev. Duncan Wallace of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church said he be-
lieved in giving winemen a chance to
make good the assertion that the use
of wine instead of strong drink will
further the end of temperance. He eau
toned the winemen not to become en-
tangled with the saloon question, stat
ing that in his opinion the open sa-
loon is doomed and rightly so.
Both pastors were loudly applauded.

In still a second group must be
placed diseases like Texas fever in cat

the meats, If not dangerous, at least
decidedly harmful to man and value

CONSIDER BETTER PAY
FOR CITY EMPLOYEES
Joint Commission to Decide
Upon Recommending Increase
for Electrical Workers

The police and fire commissioners.
sitting as joint commission on elec-
tricity, are engaged in revising the sal
aries to be recommended to be paid to
the employees in the department of cleo
tricity. The commissioners are unani-
nous in the opinion that the men who
look after the fire and police alarm
systems and the wiring of all buildings
are entitled to an increase in pay, but
find IL difficult to decide on what to
recommend TO the supervisors finance
committee, which prepares the budget
They fear that If they suggest more
than a nominal increase their recon-
mendations may not be acted upon
favorably by those who have the aIlot-
ment of the citys funds TO the various
departments.
The employees of the department of
electricity have asked that they be paid
the same wages as electricians and
wiremen working for private concerns.
Public Works Commissioner Day has
caused a communication to be sent to
City Attorney Long asking for a legal
opinion on the question as to whether
the per diem employees of the depart
ment should be allowed a full DAYS
pay for Saturdays. The charter pro-
vides for a half holiday in all public
offices and departments on Saturday.
and II has been customary to allow the
employees full time. Day is not salts
fed that the per diem employees should
be given a full days pay, as they only

MAKING oLIyE ON

The making of olive oil In France
is quite a simple process. but one call
ing for the exercise OF the greatest
care and cleanliness to produce the
best results. The fruit is first lightly
pressed in stone mills. almost Identical
with those used in ancient times. In
deed, French oil makers attribute much
of their success TO the continued use
of these simple. old time contrivances
The result of the first pressing is the
virgin oil OF premier quality A second
operation. with added pressure. but
still not enough to crush the pit of the
olive, produces an excellent oil of sec
ond quality. A third operation. with
strong pressure of the mill. crushes
the fruit and the pits of the olives and
results in oil of third quality.
The residum of these operations is
boiled in water. the oil being skinned
from the surface This gives a still
lower quality of olive oil. which sells.
of course. at a lower price than the
others. What remains after all these
processes is generally allowed to fer
ment. the resulting oil being used for
lubricating purposes and for soap maxi
ing. Sometimes. however, the mass OF
pulp. instead OF being allowed to fer
ment. is pressed into cakes and used
for food for cattle. when ordinary fod-
der Is scarce or high priced.

VICTOR HUGO ON CENsoRsH,p

Victor Hugo's views on the dra-
matte censorship may be of interest at
the present time. He gave them as a
witness before a committee of inquiry
sitting at the fine arts department soon
after the revolution of 1913:
Two great interests are equally in
volved in the question of the stage
one Is the progress of art, the other is
the Improvement of the people The
two great principles dominating all hu-
manity are again confronting each
other here-authority and liberty.
What has the principle of authority
done from the point of view OF the
education, the moral training, of the
people? 1t has fettered genius, checked
the production of masterpieces I shall
associate liberty OF the stage with lib
erty of education; the stage is one
branch of popular education"
In spite. however, OF this eloquent
protest. the censorship, which the rev.
olutionists had abolished. was restored
by the law of July, 1s50.-Westminster
Gazette.

Treasurer McDougald of Build

Charges Against Chief

Bad blood has developed in the build

the grand parlor of the Native Sons
and a member of the marble cutters
union. as we'll as treasurer of the local
council declares that Mccarthy is after
his scalplock, while Mccarthy waves
this charge aside. as pure bosh.'
According to McDougald, Mccarthy
declared at a meeting of the council
two weeks ago last Thursday that
there would be change in the officers
Of the council at the coming July elec-
ton, and that the pointed reference
was Enthusiastically to the treasurer. No
names We're mentioned, but McDougald
states that McCarthy's objection was
based on the charge that some per-
sons were too closely in touch with
the citizens alliance.
II am the only officer of the coun-
ell whom Mccarthy would like to see
changed" stated McDougald. HE is
against me because I attend to my
duties as treasurer and have refused
to mix up in outside matters or inner
controversies. There has been great
deal of talk in the council concerning
taking sides against certain indi-
viduals, but such expressions have
originated with an irate few and have
not met with the sanction of the con-
servative element. However, 1 expect
to be a candidate for reelection as
treasurer and am willing to bow to the
councils decision. McCarthy's attitude
may be explained by the fact that 1
refused his suggestion to appoint

cils for my attorney
Mccarthy denies having made any
statements directed at McDougald or
having said anything sderogatory of any
officer Of the council. and also asserts
that he did not indulge in the language
which has been quoted by McDougald.

.GOMP[RS ARGUES
RIGHTS OF LABOR
Gives Views on Proposed
Amendments to Sherman
Antitrust Law

WASHINGTON. April 4.-The pro-
trust bill, as framed by the national
civic federation and introduced in the
house recently by Hepburn of Iowa,
were advocated today before sub
committee of the house judiciary COM
mittee by Seth Low of New York. presi-
dent of the civic federation; Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
federation of labor; A. F. Garetson OF
Cedar Rapids, president of the railway
conductors, and Theodore Marburg of
Baltimore. That there Is strong oppo-
sition to the proposed measure was in
timated by number of kilograms made
public by Chairman Littlefield of the
subcommittee from manufacturing and
other business concerns throughout the
country.
Samuel Gompers was the principal
speaker at the afternoon session, and
he sounded a warning that the work
ingmen of the country would not wait
much longer for the passage of reme-
dial legislation.
Gompers told of the advocates of the
laboring interests when the laboring
people We're considering the antitrust
law, asking to have it amended to so
provide that the act should not be con-
strued to apply to any arrangements.
agreements or combinations between
laborers, made with the view of les
sening the number of hours of labor or
the increasing of their wages nor to
arrangements, agreements or combina-
tions among persons engaged in horti-
culture or agriculture made with view
of enhancing the price of agricultural
or horticultural products.
This act, said Gompers. was at one
time agreed to, but was not in the bill
when it was passed In 1901, he said a
hearing was given the house judiciary
committee on this amendment.
The socalled Sherman antitrust
law" continued Gompers, SIS not an
antitrust law: IL is an anti-combination
law. 1t is a law against associated ef-
forts; 1T is a law something like a law
which obtained about 1000 years ago In
Rome, that made every form of associa-
tfon or organization which was not ap-
proved by the emperor unlawful.
I'VE favor the enactment of laws
which shall restrict the Jurisdiction of
courts of equity to property or prop
erty rights, and shall so define property
rights that neither directly nor indi-
rectly shall there be held to be any
property or property rights in the labor
of any person.
In reply to a question by Littlefeld it
was admitted that the amendment he
had proposed would relieve organized
labor from the operation from the deci-
sion of the supreme court in the hat
ters case.

FEAR ONE OF STRANGE
PROBLEMS OF PSYCHOLOGY
Men Face Direst of Perils I'M
daunted and Flee From
Shadows

1t is said that Julius Caesar stopped
an eagle bearer in full flight and turned
him gently round with the simple re-
proof, You have mistaken the direction
of the enemy" According to the an
nalist. the veteran at once regained his
sang froid and soon after fell in the
forefront OF the battle.
The anecdote derives peculiar point
from the fact that the mighty Romans
name has for ages been an accepted
equivalent for serene and unfaltering
courage, while the race from which he
sprang rose to imperial power by virtue
of inexhaustible pluck. The legionary
who had shown his heels was OF the
same breed as the sentinels who were
found dead at their posts in Pompeii-
Why. then, did this humble Roman lose
his birthright of valor for a moment?
Why did the great captain assume that
the guardian of the eagle had merely
made a mistake of direction which
might be rectihed .on the instant?
These questions touch one Of the deep
est problems In psychology and upon
the answer hinges the method by which
masses of men are kept true in a crisis.
What is fear? Why does man, or a
people, face the direst perils undaunted
and. again. Gee from shadows which
should not alright a child? The mate
rialist will tell you that the secret lies
in the physical status of the man. or
the people-that cowardice comes from
the nerves or the liver, from the stom-
ach or the heart. But this explanation
does not fit in with the typical in
STANCES of heroism or baseness. OF
which history Is full. The garrison OF
Sara gossa, though to the last degree
hungry and wretched. fought to the end
without counting the cost, while the
gates Of the other towns were flung
open to the foe without firing a gun.

From birth to death we stand between
two worlds--the one Offering sure and
immediate rewards, the other holding
out guerdons which are impalpable and
distant. And we rise TO danger. or re-
coil from it's approach. accordingly as
we retain, or lose, our grasp on the
