Honor Discovery Day.

The knights of Columbus of the
National Capital, celebrated "Colum-
bus Day" last Thursday evening in
their hall in Washington, with per-
haps the most impressive program
ever formulated by the organization
on the occasion of the anniversary
of their great patron.
The significance of the fact that the
Rev. DR.. Abram Simon, Of the Eighth
Street Temple. was one of the princi.
pal speakers Of the evening was re-
marked by other speakers and fully
appreciated by an audience composed
of Knights that for years have upheld
and furthered the principle of extir-
patton of religion bigotry in the
United States.
In his address, in which he flayed
religious prejudice and narrow con-
sciences, DR.. Simon said: America
will be the arbiter of the future and
to her will come the task of pointing
out the way to international claims
and ideals.
I'm this season when the country is
more or less hectic with political cam
paigning, one term which has been
thrust before us is that of American
ism,'" he said. THAT word existed
long before Wilson, Roosevelt, or
Hughes shouted it in clarion tones as
slogan of campaigning. In its full
est sense the word means the home
of religious liberty and freedom, and
until it reaches that meaning America
cannot take her place in the center of
the worlds stage. ...
II will never apologize for being q
Jew, but l am willing to scrap for it
any day. Since it was announced that
was to be the speaker before the
Knights of Columbus, have received
ten letters of anonymous origin be-
wailing my lack of judgment. That Is
but an instance of the narrowness that
prevails today"
As prelimination to the exercises
in celebration Of the day, a laurel
wreath entwined with red, white and
blue colors, was placed on the Column

Putting a crimp in business.

Leslie's: The statement that for
twenty years the government, both
state and federal, has been trying to
put a crimp in the industries OF this
country" made by Secretary John M.
Glenn OF the Illinois Manufacturers
association in a paper on National
Problems" read before the annual
meeting of secretaries of state asso-
Citations OF manufacturers, has atrac-
ted wide attention. 1t emphasized the
fast that, while industrial leaders in
European countries have enjoyed the
cooperation of their governments in
enlarging plants and extending trade,
the American business man has made
progress in the face of adverse legis-
lation and government antitrust suits.
Mr.. Glenn attributes the handicaps
underi which the American business
man labors to the lawyer politicians,
and proposes to do away with the law
making craze by making lawyers in
eligible to participate in the delibera-
lions of legislative body" While
much that Mr.. Glenn says about the
meddling of the lawyer politician with
business is true, all the meddling has
not been due to lawyers. A better plan
is to let the people know the men

Cedar Rapids Gazette: The as

given for the advance to $500 Of the
price OF soft coal in the Ohio field.
Usually car shortage which oper-

price.
Soft coal Sin the hill,' that is still
in the veins of bank mines, is worth
in Ohio about five cents the ton. No
attempt will be made to quote the
exact cost of mining, but it will prob
ably not bring the price OF lump coal
on cars higher than $1.25 the ton.
Common prices at the mines in the
past have been: Lump. $50; nut,

screens or sold at twenty cents the
ton.
II $125 Is the fair value Of coal, on

the mine owners made twenty-five
cents at $3.50 the ton. They would
be making 1915 the ton now, or one

tons would have been worth at an
earlier date. Moreover, the owners

CHEATING THE GUARDsMEN.

According to Captain rupert hughes, VIZ
recently served on the border with the Sixty
ninth New York regiment, and who IS writing
illuminatingly in Golfers Of conditions pre-
vailing in the soldiers camps in Texas, the ma
tional guard has gone to the demnition bow
vows and never will come back III It's present
form into which it has been shaped by the
hands of Messrs. Wilson, Garrison, Baker and
Co. The guardsmen are sick of their treat
ment, and will leave the service at the first OPP
portunitv. ''The fault is Uncle Sam s." says
Captain Hughes ''He has cheated and is
cheating hundred thousand of his most will
ing citizens'' Here is the situation as Hughes
sees it:
Call country doctor out at midnight to ride ride
baby: he will not complain, provided the baby is
sick He will fight hard for its life and reproach
no summons. But let him find that
baby is well when he gets there. and ask him
to walk the with it at regular rates for
tme-and see what the doctor says. He ought to
be glad that he not really needed but he vii.
be hopping for the FOOLS errand.
SO the guard would have made no protest If it
had found hostile army at the border, and had
disease Finding the border sound asleep, the
guard is only human in resentng the call and the
compusion to stay. Its health has peen excel
lent, and it has learned something. but it is bit.
terly unhappy. and almost completely cured OF all
desire to belong any longer
The Army and Navy Journal says the gen
eral impression about the war department is
that the national guard will not be relieved
from Mexican service within a year. Whyf
Because the regular army has not been re-
cruited to the strength commanded by con-
gress There are not enough In the regu-
lar army to patrol the border. The guardsmen
still expect to return home. Hope springs
eternal in his breast. But when will he return
--av there's the rub!
What is particularly of local interest in Cap
tain Hughes broadside is the statement that
the guard is kept on the border ''by the ingeni-
GUS and perhaps necessary device of refusing
to accept designations or grant discharges ex-
cept on the most exceptional terms. The popu-
-laritv of the service is indicated by the fact
that if designations and appeals for discharge
should be favoraby received, the guard would
oil be home, and there would be no guard.''
The war departments promise that men
needed for their families support would be re-
leased has been ruthlessly violated. Jobs are
gone relatives are suffering, business rivals
are forging ahead, opportunities are disappear
ing-and there is nothing to do on the border
but await the relief that fails to come All
this while the country continues the absurd
pretense of tying to recruit the regular army.
