Omaha, Neb.-ln an effort to keep the
farmers of Nebraska from brandishing
the notorious knife in the direction of
the covering peas when at dinner, a very
extensive set of table rules has been put
into circulation at the Agricultural Col
lege of the University of Nebraska, The
regulations cover every move from the
soup, which is regarded as a menace, to
the last wavering segment of pie crust.
The means by which ears may remain
dry when eating watermelon and the sys-
tenn of cooling coffee without blowing
across a saucer lake. are set forth with
earnestness and simplicity, and every de-
tail regarding the position of the feet.
arms and torso during the entire ordeal
are made clear and promising.
At the very outset it becomes apparent
that Nebraska is to become the indiges-
ton center of the world, for the first
lesson states that no farmer, however
garrulous, will ever, in any circum-
stances, inform the hostess whether the
food is good, bad or tolerable. If he
likes it, says the care-free pamphlet, he
is to eat plentifully of whatever sub
stance has impressed its excellence upon
him.

Washington.-The resignation of Mil
ton Smelling, of Washington, Vice Presi-
dent of the International Union of
Steam and Operating Engineers, from
the office of First Vice President of La
bor's National Peace Council, was an
nounced at headquarters of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
Following closely the clash between
Representative Buchanan and the White
House, because President Wilson did
not see delegation from the Peace
Council, and repeated statements of
Samuel Gompers that the Council had
no connection with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, Snelling's resignation
added new chapter to series of events
which stirred organized labor circles.
Snclling's letter of resignation was
addressed to Buchanan as President of
the Peace Council.

MANUFACTURERS ORGANIZE.

Philadelphia. The new State COM
pensation law is effective the first of
next year, and manufacturers are pre-
pairing for this event by organizing a
casualty insurance company.
Thomas s. Dando, who favors the
plan, says that employers in this coun-
try last year paid to casualty companies
more than $31 100000 in premiums
while the losses paid by the companies
amounted to $9,5OO,0OO. Unionsts point
to these figures as the reason why OPP
position is shown against workmen's
compensation legislation.

MINERS LIVE IN TENTS.

Because striking miners were evicted
from their homes by the Pennsylvania
Mining COMPANY and the Sterling An
thracite Coal Company, officers of the
Miners Union have shipped one hundred
tents to Jimtown, where these mines are
located.
The miners were unorganized when
they struck because of wage reductions
They then applied for membership il the

The Sixteenth Annual Convention OF the Anti
Saloon League of America, by far the most notable
meeting of the foes of liquor ever assembled this
any other continent has passed into history. Over
10000 delegates, to mention VISITORS from every
state in the Unlon thronged the two great halls
the Million Dollar Pier, where the Convention
held.
The spirit of this great gathering aggressive
eager, confident, defiant. The dominant impression
that the liquor traffic is at bay, fighting every
where the defensive and fighting losing battle.
The Convention was revelation of the strength Of
the antisaloon movement of great progress made and
of its certain success better fighting political
ganizaton than the Anti-Saloon League
listed. The liquor dealers have greater resources in
the way of money, but in the OF the Antl-Saloon
League this is than counterbaanced by the
greater efficiency of its leaders and the absolute right
eousness of its cause. The various conferences
veaed the fact that every is thoroughly organ
led and is making progress against the enemy, with
every prospect of ultimate success. No who
tended the Convention but believes that the slogan of
the League "A Saooness Nation by 1920" is no idle
boast, but prophecy which will be realized.
The Convention addressed by SO many great
speakers and presented many splendid features,
that it would be impossible in many Issues to do
justice to it. We give below few echoes, merely:
League Opposes Mann for President
That Prohibition is national issue is clearly
shown in all the proceedings of the Convention and
especially in the attitude of League speakers toward
the candidacy of James r. Mann for President. Mr..
Lynn Haines, secretary of the National Voters
League was the chief mouthpiece of this opposition
Mr.. Hanes said, in part:
ITO those who hope to Congress less citadel
of pie and pork politicians, the defeat of Jim Mann
would be worth the retirement of half hundred ordi
nary congressman Even though Democrats are in
