Military Authorities Round Up
American SIackers in Paris

Paris, Nov. 22-The Paris Herald
reports that more than 200 young
Americans, wearing the uniforms OF
ambulance drivers, have been
rounded up recently by the American
military authorities. The numbers
of their passports were taken and
they were told to call at headquar-
ters, where all but five appeared.
There they were informed again that
they must enlist in some branch OF
the active service overseas or they
would be sent back to America, where
they would be dealt with as the cir
cumstances warrant.
AS for the five who did not appear
at headquarters, the Herald says il
is reported that when they are found
harsh measures against them will be
taken. ..

When Resignation Effective.
The resignation of Governor Ne
vile, filed with Secretary Of State
= Pool yesterday at Lincoln, does not
mean that the governor will quit his
job right away.
It means that his resignation an
nounced unoficially several weeks ago
is now a matter of record and that
when he leaves the state ithwill be-
4 come effective. The governor does
Snot become an active warrior until
such time as his regiment is federal
lied and he comes under the SAME
regulation.
The regiment may be called, as in
the case of the other regiments, or it
may be drafted, probably the latter.
However, the governor can still re-
tain his office as governor of the state
after he has been inducted into the
federal service, unless the Seventh is
called away, when,- in that case, of
course, his resignation would become
effective and the lieutenant governor
would become governor.
Then, again, his resignation might
become effective afonce, or next week
or next month, if the governor only
took proper steps to make it so. AS
to that deep secrecy prevails.

noble and high princIpled things.
 You cannot very well denounce appropriations made for your own locality although it may be pork of the porkiest; but it is when the dough goes to the other town that Virtue insists upon calling attention to the damnable condition under which the public money is squander- ed in useless enterprises.
 It is all right to appropriate for certain interests and certain cities and towns. But in the last analysis it will be all right or all wrong ac- cording as you are getting your whack out of it. And as the workers get mighty little out of any of the appropriations but hard work. they are under no delusions as to pork being pork.
 But pork was never meant for them any way.

BI-METALISM

Those who' fondly believed that the gold standard had for ever and a day dominated the monetary sy- stems of the world are likely to eX- poricnce q shock by the way that silver is going up and its use is in creasing in the belligerent nations. The British, French and Germans are now using silver in larger and larger quantities. To be sure it is ill the nature of fiat money, and so far the value of silver is only, withal it's increase about 72. But it's use is meeting a long felt want" and men who study these things declare that it will be much in use after the war and some system of bi-metalism will be introduced.
 Now is the time for the free silver advocates to overhaul their Coins Financial School and discover that monometaTism is responsible for all our woes. Anything is prefer able to the facts, and if the people get side tracked with sixteen to one doctrines. it is likely that they will leave the real vital questions un- touch and unconsidered.

THE FIELD OF HONOR.

There is one page in English lllu- strated papers which is especially interesting. It is devoted to the photographs of officers killed in ac- tion; dead on the field of honor.
 The most appealing thing about that page is the fact that intruding among them are no privates, corpo- rals or other non-commissioned ot- ficers who died for king and coun- try. Instead those who were off cers and gentlemen are thus reel pients of the tribute.
 Now it may ve.y well be explained that to devote pages to photos ol unofficered ranks who fell woulC fill a whole illustrated paper, and hence just few of the best of then are given and naturally the officers are the best. That is certainly thu case. But consider, first Of all tha all those officres are fighting fol something. They have homes, wealtl business, prosperity, rents, proht and position to defend Not honol , but self interest should dictate tha they fight. The real honor victim l' the worker. He hasn't rod of soi to call his own. All he can look for ward to is a bad job at best. More often than not the workhouse is hi | portion. All he has got is his lift 'aLd he risks that
 There is more truth however thal poetry in the significance of tba page. War is for the officers thu field of honor and for the worker the field of service for those whC have exploited them in peace as wei as war.

protection that stood between the


 and tyranny in every age and assured some sort of eGuit- able treatment even from courts hostile to defendants.
 It is one of the best known facts that when justice is to be denied and the will of tyrannical powers is to be enforced, the first thing to go by the board is the jury trial. And above all else an impartial jury is shelved so completely that in the hands of tyrannical men packing juries has become fine art.
 The Magma Charta calls for d jury of ones peers. However the law may interpret that word, it cer- tainly meant then, whatever it may mean now, the social and economic peer of the person tried. The feudal lord was tried by feudal lords, the freeman by freemen and knights by knights.
 Today there is in the United States no such social disparity due to the absence of feudal conditions. But there is just as real a disparity and that is due to our present day econo- mic system a disparity of wealth and proprietorshir. Briefly there arr two classes, those who own and ope rate industries and those who do no' own but labor in the industries. 1 Jrunuuestionably should the con ception of trial by ones peers bt lived up to, working men would b i tried by workers and business mc1 by business men. Now nothing O the kind takes place. It is very se' dom indeed when the workers art being tried that there are any work CTS called to try them. On the con trary. retired or active business men pensioners, and others who have no worked for some time are called t hear and try the cases of the work CTS.
 Because under such conditions ver diets are arrived at which are scorning and loathing, the whol
 system of trial by jury falls int disrepute. But the system IS no properly tried It is the system de
 based to the ends o
 modern commercialism that Ina
 made the great jury system c
 the country hissing and by a wor as Cochran intimated when begir
 ming the Mooney trial.
 The most important fact to rt
 collect in modern criminal trials
 that the prosecuting attorney is, min
 times out of ten, not so much intel
 ested in securing justice as in secul ing a conviction. Hence it is ths every effort is made to secure ths conviction whether the party bein tried is innocent or not. Even tn boast is made by such officials mai
 ing effort to secure reelection an l that to the effect that they secure f more convictions than their pred I cessors in the same office. To col l vict has become a monomania wit i some, when the fact that conviction S are not obtained is often enough Il e finest testimony to the prosecutir { attorneys justice, honesty and fai r ness.

JUDiCIOJS POLICY.

Ladies III ftOTld Sldi Itu d4i III vestigation about high prices on thier account. They may not have And they discovered that far from been socially very prominent, be- cause their main concern was about the plebian spud for which two bucks per was paid. there being an actual shortage, there was an excess ill their vicinity, and dealers had been dumping in Ill., inois River carload after carload of the delectable tuber. Ton after ton of murphies were thus re- moved from the market ana the artificial shortage thus produced enabled the dealers to Keep up prices and net fine profits.
 That was exceedingly good busi- ness. In this way the dealers most ingeniously were enabled to make the spud function profitaDly to them, and after all as far as they are con cerned. that is the reason of spud's existence. It is true that the potatoe is also supposed to satisfy hunger and to form a staple article of the social diet. But the nam thing about it is that profit is made. The farmer grows it for the profit oi growing and the dealer speculates Ill the product of the farm for the money he gets out of it. He does not care three thraneens whether the hungry are fed or not. The main thing is mohey.
 And we can peddle all we want among ourselves about the social functions, there is, gentlemen ol th3 urv. just one function in any com modity and that is that it make pro- fit for the producing company, indl' yidual or dealer.
 That in thus making profit, the SC social activities also somewhat act in the direction of satisfying human want is merely an incident which adds to the very efficiency of profit getting. Thus if one manufactures an article of which the country has urgent need. that manufacturer Will he able to make much money. II one controls the means whereby the rest live. such ownership will enable one to make considerable profit out of the situation.
 So with the spuds in the state of Illinois. They were plentiful. They were too plentiful, and more than needed by the spud-eaters. But spuds were a fine price which had to be maintained, and if the supply was placed against the demand the form CT being greater the price would fall. Good business, ordinary commercial sagacity which profits by the occa- sions Of human need directed the dumping of this excess supply and commercial aaeatity had its way. That if meant that many would have to go without their potatoes is as we said au incident. It was mo concern oi the potatoe dealers. The two dollars per was. And that is what they as dealers were interested sl maintaining That is the system. It is the system that finds laudation in luIer and pulpit and only those blasted red flag wavers would think of changing it. Sarely to change it and bring the spud io the spud eater quickly reasonably and without eX- cess of charges, would be to break Ip the home and destroy the family.
