HE MEANT SALT.

Arthur Giovanitti, the associate Of
Joseph ]. Ettor. the strike agitator.
has stated, according 10 a press dis
patch, that Mr.. Ettor did not mean
poison should be used in the food by
the hotel and restaurant strikers, but
that he meant salt"
II is TO be hoped that h< explana-
ton is correct. But Ettor should have
said what he meant at the time he
made his talk and not left It to be
explained or inferred. Some strikers
might have been led to use poison and
caused serious illness. even though
the poison was a mild one.
II Ettor meant salt or sugar or any
other ingredient that is not necessar.
fly poisonous It would have saved any
explanation and any danger from a
mistake had he made his meaning
plain.
The explanation bt Mr. Giovanitti,
n accepted as the true one, does not
lessen the fact that Ettor is not a
safe and true labor leader.

CHANGING THE PENALTY.

There is a story that tells OF an
Englishman who was once riding IN a
special car in this country with the
superintendent of a division of the
railroad. The train overlook some
men who we're walking the track;
they stood aside to let the train pass,
and as soon as it got by they got on
the track again and resumed their
jaunt.
The Englishman snorted and ex'
planned that such trespassing IN
Europe would result in the prompt ar
rest Of the offenders, that surely fol
lowed by fine; and second offense
would bring Imprisonment. The Eng.
lishman expressed his establishment
that the practice brought no punish.
ment in this country.
The superintendent Of the road
spoke up and said: "Oh, 1--WE punish
them more severely than you do in
England. We don't fine and imprison
them; we kill EN-"
There is a decided point in the lit.
tie story. There is punishment OF
the American people for their prae
tice of walking on railroads. In ouI
case the punishment is death, and II
is about time for US to awake to the
fact that this punishment is exces
sive.
Railroad arrangements all over the
country have started a crusade in this
matter and are asking the support Of
the public. The aim is to reduce the
punishment from death to fine, add
ing short imprisonment in a few caset
II need be. II is wondered how much
encouragement railroad management
will get in this.

commercialized vice commonly called
the white slave traffio. In two years

have been 1877 convictions and only 50
acquittals.

jecting an extension OF its operations,

of this new and surprising application

Her Mistake

Owing to the fact that the car
lurched suddenly as he was passing
along the aisle, Bronson was de-
prived OF his balance, with the result
that in attempting TO save himself
from falling he clutched one of the
shoulders Of a handsome woman who
had succeeded In getting seat. More
over, he knocked her beautiful hat
awry and with great difficulty avoided
stepping on her toes. AS he sue
ceeded in recovering his equilibrium
the lady turned toward him and said:

$50 involved is the situation in ILL
nois that neither the democrats nor
republicans have a dependable major
fty in the legislature.
"A condition such as existed in 1909,
when Lorimer was elected, again con-
fronts Illinois. The legislature dead
lock, due to factional differences
among the republicans, was broken
only after weeks OF futile balloting by
a combination of republicans and dem
ocrats, a number Of whom we're con-
fessed Nhribe-takers. For three years
Lorimer disgraced the United States
senate by his presence, until at last
It declared his seat vacant
In the new legislature, where no
one Of the four parties alone can elect
United States senator, there will be
every opportunity for deal, and cor
rupt deal. With two senatorships at
stake, the price will be valuable and
the temptation great
IF any argument In favor Of the di-
rect vote OF United States senators
were lacking. the Illinois situation
would supply 1t. The sooner the pend
ing amendment TO the constitution IL
ratified the sooner the death blow will
be delivered to Lorimerism."
The Illinois legislature can only hsr.
monte its action in accordance with
the vote Of the people in the last
election by sending two democrats to
Washington to represent the state in
the United States senate.
