as yet.
 This system Is known as supcr-or- ganization. Some call it semi-na- tionalization. But whatever name it goes by, it means that the entire governmental system is to be de- voted wholly and entirely to the benefit of Big Business.
 That idea is not by any means new. Shipping owners long ago wanted subsidies from the govern ment. railroads long ago obtained much free land to assist their enter prise, Cortelyon turned over mill ons to New York banks in the panic of 1907, so 1t is not wholly .uhtried.
 But these were only sporadic ef- forts, wholly without system and purely fortuitous. What is now wanted is a. systematic control of government for the benefit of Biz Business. Not indirect like tariff but direct and open as in Germany and Great Britain during war time and as in Germany and Japan dur ing peace.
 It is coming of course. Big Business gets whatever it sets out to obtain. It never yet was denied. And because of its economic power and it's organization it never will be. The question is what are the work CTS going to do about it? Sit still and listen to the Milwaukee Leader expound the delights of government ownership and the achievement ot themillenium by returning Victor Berger to Congress?

Scott Nearing speaking before a socialist meeting the other day said that the capitalist papers practically controlled the dissemination ot news and the authorities on social subjects were all capitalists. He said it was time that the workers did their own writing.
 True enough; but tho more imme aliate need just now for the work CTS is to do their own thinking.
 That is the trouble right along Tho workers accept thoughts ready made. like a pair of overalls, from the thought mills of the employing classes. They don't stop to work out their. own ideas when they have ideas. and prefer to follow in the rut the great capitalist social ma chine has marked ahead of them to follow in.

This man represented himself as a union man asked the suspect what he knew about the killing of the strike breaker. The suspect said he knew nothing, and thereupon he was beaten up into a shapeless mass in the jail.
 The police methods of some of these cities are sure to make the union workers celebrate the Fourth of July with greater zest.
 American capitalists east and west are getting alarmed: The reason for this alarm is that they observe in European. countries now at war the industries being con. ducted under government aid and government supervision. This was brought about by the emergency created by the war and has resulted in the increased efficiency of all those factories.
 This system of organization oD- tained in Germany before the war. The government aided and super vised and directed the great indUs- trial organizations. The profits were private, the ownership was private, but the industries were aid ed and assisted by the government
 That system obtains right now In Japan and that system is respons- sible for the great commercial and industrial growth of Japan.
 It has tho great advantage of ab- solute control of labor. and 1t has the added advantage of making tie government purely an adjunct of business.
 American capitalists proclaim the fact that a similar condition must obtain in the United States if American industry is to survive the competition with European manu-. facturers and European industria! organizations after the war. They say that first of all they must cut down their costs of production, and equalize the conditions of labor here and in Europe, they must further obtain government support in their ent -rprises so that government will practically be a very active and sl- lent partner in the operations, al- though sharing nothing in the pro- l fits.
 They turn to the Hamburg-Am. erican line, the Nord-Deutcsher Lloyd and point out the enormous progress made with and by the aif of government assistance. They turn to the more private industries su"h as ore reduction, dye manufacture and the like and point out how completely efficient became those in Germany by and with government aid. They then turn to Great Bri- tain and publish approvingly the fact that because the government i'm mediately came to the aid of the British Chemical works and British Dye Works, they became In few months wholly independent of Ger man products whereas the United States has not reached that stage -

1 So far no one s hecrd suggesting that the Columbus raid case be sub mitted to arbitration.
 Arbitration is trusted by on one. The only man willing to submit to { arbitration is the man who cannot get the best of it otherwise. It is the same in international squabbles. We are about realizing that Justice is the interest of the stronger, and it's the strong man and the strong class and the strong nation that gets there.
 Because the employing clGss are powerful they can dictate terms to the workers and have nothing U arbitrate."
 When the employing class at any time feels itself up against a tough proposition it's as willing as any other class to arbitratc. They ar bitrated the railroad troubles and they arbitrated the anthracite coal struggle. They knew beforehand how it would end. It appears to be only the workers who talk arbitra. tion unless it's Williem Jennings Bryan when peace prophet. And even Bryan wont discuss the suh- ject over these Mexican raids.

It may not be generally known these days of preparedness and con- scription and federal militia ana continental armies, that according to the British Constitution a stant.- ing army is illegal unless sanctioned especially annually by parliament. But it is so. Under the Bill o1 Rights it is declared illegal for the Crown to maintain a standing army unless parliamentary sanction is re- ceived yearly. Hence every year what is known as the Army bill is passed through parliam ont whereby a standing army is authorized anI monies appropriated therefor.
 The reason for this is that Par liamcnt discovered that Q standing army had been used to crush the '- bertics of the people, s.Ed it was de- sired to control it absolutely.
 It's funny thing that tho claim to fight German militar.sm is re sulting in the establishment of mill. tarism' just as bad as anything of the Pruosian brand throughout the world.

Glory HallclujGh! It is an nounced by Q multitude of editors who have been interviewed by the Literary Digest that tho Tariff is to be the election issue. Infant indus tries which have been lccking in the proper and most nourishing fool are languishing, and war babies need protection. For noble ideclism Am orican politics certainly reach the ,5 53rd and last degrec.
 So it will once more bo the con tention of excited employers and em- ployees thah the country will fare but i'll if the tariff is not restored to it's pristine purity of republican, protectiveness, and full dinner nails

More than a year ago The Mas ses, a radical publication of New York city, was with Art Young a famous cartoonist made co-defendant in libel suit at the instance of the Associated Press.
 The suit arose over the charge that the Associated Frees nows on labor matters was tainted at its source, and specifically the .nfor- nation published as news during the West Virginia coal strike was furnished by gunmen. A striking cartoon emphasizing the mental pro- stitution of such a condition by Young added to the indignation of the plaintiff.
 Last January, after the Associated Press had gone to greet lengths telling what it was going to do to the Masses, and the Masses had ac- cepted the challenge with vigor anu aiacrity, the case is dropped.
 What other Inference IS there from this with New York juries be- ing what they arc, and New YorH courts being what they are, an1 New York prosecutors being what they are, but thGt tho assertions made in the Masses far from beins untrue were on the other hand tne oxGct truth?

1t Helps Children to Grow

ACCORDINGLY. children ought to be
encouraged to laugh instead Of being
trained to be non-laughers, as too often is
the policy nowadays. The trials and prob
lens of life will soon put sufficient check
on their mirthfulness. Parents, for that
matter ought to make it point to keep
alive in their children the saving sense Of
humor. In later life the children will not
need laughter to help them grow, but
most assuredly they will need it to help
them keep healthy and at high level Of
working efficiency. Gloom and weakness
go together; laughter and strength walk
hand in hand.
More and more, it is to be observed,
medical men are recommending laughter
to their patients. That veteran New
York physician, Doctor James j. Walsh,
who has never had the reputation Of
being @faddist," is loud in his praises
Of its upbuilding power. He even ad-
vises those who are weak in the sense
of humor to practise laughing as daily
exercise.
1T seems almost absurd he admits,
athat physician should tell patients that
it will do them good to practise smiling, to
take every possible opportunity to laugh,
and even to take frequent glances into
looking-glass to see that they are not pull
ing long faces.

better able to meet the incessant and ex-
treme demand Of modern life for quick,
accurate, and forceful thinking.
Here another factor enters to double
the favorable influence exercised on mind
and body by laughter.
Everybody who is hearty laugher is
well aware that laughter, unless it be too
prolonged engenders most pleasurable
emotional state 1t makes man afeel
good mentally as well as physically.
Recent scientific researches have def
nitely established that pleasurable emo
tional states stimulate every vital process
healthfully. They promote the digestion
OF food, its assimilation, the elimination of
the waste products Of digestion, the cir
culation Of the blood, the action Of the
internal glands of secretion, etc. This
means greater physical vigor, and it also
means greater efficiency for ones daily
work, whether that work be mental or
manual. Hence laughter, psychologically
as well as physiologically, is good for every
man. QsA
Let me pause moment to add that
these facts throw q luminous light ON that
much discussed problem, the frequency
and ardor of laughter in childhood.
Children, unless their exuberance is
too sternly repressed by unwise par
ents, always laugh more than adults.
They find causes for laughter in anything
and everything much that is not
laughter-provoking at all to grown-up
men and women.
Usually this is accounted for on the
ground that children are care-frne that
the reasoning faculty is not adequately
developed in them, and that they are
full of animal spirits. Now, in addition
to all this, it becomes possible to see in
their tendency to an abounding laughter
the working out Of benefcent design.
They may laugh because they are care
free, unthinking, and high-spirited; but
they also laugh in order to help their
bodies grow, and in order to help promote
the development of their minds, both by
easing the strain Of learning and by keep
ing their brains well nourished.

in this strenuous, complex civilization of
ours are conditions Of great strain. People
have more to think about than used to be
the case; there are more occasions for
worry; the demands Of modern profess
sional, commercial, and industrial life are
much more severe than in the primitive
days of the founders of the Republic.
Every opportunity Of giving mind and
nerves chance for momentary rest should
be eagerly seized. And, of all means
offered by nature for attaining this de-
sirable end, few compare with laughter.
1t may not be "refined" to laugh, but it
is decidedly hygienic.
Besides, laughter has more than the
negative value Of securing temporary free
dom from strain. 1t has a positive value
of the utmost importance.

The Truth About Laugghte7 g

"HE next time you see anybody
laughing heartily at humorous
drawing, a funny incident in a
- moving-picture play, or the lines
and action in a farce, don't fall into the
common mistake of thinking that he
ought to be more restrained in his express
sion Of the amusement he feels. Instead,
try to become a hearty laugher yourself,
il you are not one already.
The prejudice against laughter as "bad
form" can not be too vigorously opposed.
1t is mischievous prejudice. Its result
is to deprive people of an invaluable
agent III maintaining mental and physical
health. The increase in functional ner-
vous and mental troubles, so evident in
recent years, must certainly be attributed
in part to the anti-laughing training many
persons receive in youth. Also, the feel
ing against laughter has undoubtedly had
abad effect on the working ability of many
people, by aggravating nervous stress and
robbing them of natural tonic that is
most helpful to body and mind alike.
And, to make matters worse opposition
to laughter has grown with changed con-
ditions of life that make laughter ever
more necessary.
just what happens when person
laughs?
Laughter Relieves Tension
IN the first place, there is an immediate
feeling of relief from mental and bodily
tension. 1t is an interesting fact, not
generally appreciated, that the mere see
ing or hearing of anything that appeals
strongly to ones sense of humor instantly
gives rise to peculiar physical conditions
of more or less intensity. These have been
variously described. Some years ago an
Investigator at Clark University asked
number of people how they felt the mo-
ment before they laughed. Ona replied
that he always felt "a ticklish sensation
in the stomach" Another spoke of "a
funny feeling coming up from the stom-
ach." A third had "a creepy feeling in
side, spreading over the whole body" A
fourth @must laugh or BURST A fifth
found it "an immense strain to hold in.'
A sixth 4felt full of something to the point
of bursting" A seventh experienced "a
quiver, thrill, or creepy feeling, passing
up from the stomach to the mouth" And
SO on.
THESE feeilngS ceased as soon as tnOSe
experiencing them laughed. They were,
that is to say, manifestations of nervous
energy seeking an outlet. This outlet they
obtained in laughing, expressly provided
as natural safety-valve. To be sure, if
ones sense of humor be entirely blotted
out, SO that nothing ever seems Sunny
the physical sensations ordinarily finding
a vent in laughter are not experienced.
Then their repression would not cause
nervous stress and disturbance, because
they would not be there to be repressed.
But, observe, it is not simply from this
special form of nervous strain that laugh
ter brings relief-it is from nervous strain
in general.
Indeed, it seems scientifically sound to
affirm that the sense of humor is given to
man largely for the purpose of causing
sudden increase of nervous activity such
as to compel. through laughter, COM
plete let-down of nervous tension. When
a man laughs, his whole organism, SO to
speak, takes momentary holiday. This
is one of the principal reasons why the

) PACKING FIRMS TO
PAY $4,000 FINES

Jefferson City, Dec. 13.-Attorney-
General Barker stated today that he
could not give out any definite infor-
nation as to the payment of fines i'm
posed upon five big packing companies
by the Supreme Court of the State
Feb. Q, 1915. The companies took an
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court, and yesterday they dismissed
this appeal, which leaves the mandate
of the Missouri court standing. The
following five companies were fined
s25, 900 each: Swift & Co., Armour &
Co., st. Louis Dressed Beef and Provi-
sion Company, Hammond Packing Co.,
and Nelson, Morris & Co.
The st. Louis company no longer is
in existence and perhaps one of the
other companies has been absorbed.
The State was not able to collect
some of the fines imposed by the Su-
premc Court, although most of the
| fines were paid. The Attorney-Gen-
eral said that the State had not en-
tered into any agreement as to the
dismissal of the appeals in the United
States Supreme Court, but he did not
/ know at this time what arrangements
would be made about paying the fines.
He is desirous of collecting all the
fines and interest thereon from the
date of the decree of the Missouri Su-
preme Court. These suits were insti-
tuted by Gov. Major while he was At
tornev General and were based on vio-
lations of the antitrust and anti-com-
! bine laws.
