THE STORY OF THE PEANUT
SHELLS.

AS everyone knows, C. W. Post oi
Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only q
maker of breakfast foods, but he is a
strong individual who believes that the
trades-unions are a menace to the lib
erty of the country.
Believing this, and being natural
born" scrapper for the right, as he
sees it, Post, for several years past
has been engaged in a ceaseless war.
fare against "The Labor Trust" as he
likes to call it.
Not being able to secure free and
untrammeled expression of his opin'
ions on this subject through the regular
reading pages of the newspapers he
has bought advertising space for this
purpose, just as he is accustomed to
for the telling of his Postum story
and he has thus spent hundreds of
thousands Of dollars in denouncing
trades-unionism.
AS a result of Posts activities the
people now know a whole lot about
these organizations: how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they OBJ
struct the development of legitimate
business, curtail labor's output, hold
up manufacturers, graft upon their own
membership, and rob the public. Natu-
rally Post is hated by the trades
unionists, and intensely.
He employs no union labor, so they
can not call out his men, and he defies
their efforts at boycotting his products.
The latest means of getting" Post is
the widespread publication of the story
that car which was recently wrecked
in transmission was found to be loaded
with empty peanut shells, which were
being shipped from the south to Posts
establishment at Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated with
President John Fitzgerald of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor, who, it is
said, stated it publicly, as truth.
Post comes back and gives Fitz-
gerald the lie direct. He denounces
Fitzgerald's statement as a deliberate
talsehood, an underhanded and coward
ly attempt to injure his business, hav-
such an effort it must be regarded. It
Is significant that this statement about
"the peanut shells is being given wide
newspaper publicity. In the patent
inside" of an eastern country paper I
find it, and the inference naturally is
that labor-unionites are insidiously
spreading this lie.
An institution Tor a MANI which
will resort to moral intimidation and
to physical force, that will destroy ma
chinery and burn buildings, that will
MAIN and kill if necessary to effect its
ends, naturally would not hesitate to
spread falsehood for the same pur-
poses.
We admire Post. While we have no
enmity toward labor unions, so long as
they are conducted in an honest, live
and-let-live" kind of a way, we have had
enough of the tarred end of the stick
to sympathize thoroughly with what he
is trying to do. He deserves support.
A man like Post can not be killed, even
with lies. They are a boomerang, every
time. Again, we kno40, for hasn't this
weapon, every weapon that could be
thought Of, been used (and not simply
by labor unions) to put us out of bust
ness, too?
I am going to drink too cups of
Postum every morning from this time
on, and put myself on a diet of Grape
Nuts. Bully for Post!-EditoriGI IN

ARK

JUST A PAlPABlE SORT OF
|. MYTH DECLARES RABBI
HlRSCH OF CHICAGO,

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE crown
ing nature fake is the biblical story
of Noah's rescue of animals from
the great flood, according to a
statement by DR.. Emil G. Hirsch in
his sermon Hast night at Sina
temple.
There may have been Noah, y
said DR.. Hirsch, "but the inundation
story is the most palpable sort of
myth. Even if there had been the
flood mentioned by the bible, and
Noah really built him an enormous
ark for the safe conveyance of the
favored people and the beasts, it
would have been a physical impos-
sibility for such large group of
living things to have survived a voy-
age in single vessel.
The primitive peoples of the
earth were as impressionable as
children today. They would easily
give credence to such tale as that
of Noah's voyage and pass it down
to their children. But today we
must accept it only as pretty fab
rication."

SAYS WOMEN INVADE RIGHTS
OF SMOKERS ON STREET CARS

Los ANGELES, Feb. S.-[Editor
Herald: Women of Los Angeles have
won their fight to have smoking on
street cars confined to the rear section
of open-air seats. A city ordinance
now bars men from smoking either in
the enclosed part of the car or on the
open seats at the forward end.
Now, this part of the fight won, why
can't the women of Los Angeles be
fair? That is a question asked not
only by the writer. but IS becoming
more and more a subject for comment
and just comment, l belieVe-not
only on the street cars, but ON the
streets and in the business Offices of
the city.
The writer is night worker and
takes a car from his home to his work
at a time in the afternoon when the
cars are not crowded For the last
five days he has noticed q condition
that calls direct attention either to the
absolute unfairness of Los Angeles
women or to their thoughtlessness.
ON EACH ONE OF THOSE FIVE
DAYS. BEFORE THE WEST JET
FERSON STREET CAR REACHED
SIXTEENTH STREET ON ITS WAY
DOWNTOWN. EVERY ONE OF THE
OPEN AIR SEATS IN THE REAR
OF THE CAR, WHERE MEN ARE
CUPIED BY A WOMAN, WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF ONE SEAT. ON
THREE OF THE FIVE DAYS ONLY
ONE SEAT IN THE OPEN PART AT
THE FRONT OF THE CAR. WHERE
SMOKING IS PROHIBITED, WAS
OCCUPIED.
On one of these trips seven men
who were smoking when they boarded
the car. were forced to stand up on the
10 oh 1,1a nj PC
they had just lighted. although there
was room enough for all the women
and all the men without either dis
turbing the other, had the women o.
cupied their proper places.
Because of the occupancy of rear
outside seats by women when ther
was ample room in front, away from
any annoyance by tobacco smoke,
three men, to the writer's knowledge,
have gone to the vacant seats in front,
angered by the attitude of the women,
and have been put off the cars for
smoking on the front part of the car
contrary to law.
1t seems that The Herald world be
doing a service to the public in general
If the women of Los Angeles were
asked to fill up the front open-air
seats before they invade the rear open
seats. ] believe that the men of Les
Angeles are courteous enough to see
that no disrespect is done to woman
passengers, and I am confident that,
if crowded conditions made it neces-
sary for mon to ride in the open-air
rear of the car, seven men out of ten,
at least, would throw away their
cigars as a matter of almost involun-
tary politeness.
But if women insist on edging in and
taking advantage of a privilege ac-
corded them, how long will mankind
look upon them with the difference
and respect to which all good women
are entitled? TAXPAYER.

BAUBLE MARKET

Peeler in thirty-third degree, he buys

The men and women who are ready to

hard bargain drivers in real estate
transactions and Industrial operations.
This makes their easiness in respect of
the gewgaw market difficult to under

Take away that bauble," shouted
Cromwell pointing to the emblem of
royalty on the table of the English
parliament. (Yes; it was the English
parliament This was before the
union.) But the bauble lovers still
cling to their queer tastes and foolish
fancies; and if Portuguese and other
noble shysters and crooks-at-arms find
easy money in the United States then,
