not the decency to do as his arche- type has done, go and buy halter to hang himself; he has che deg9 nerate's indecency to boast Of his shame and to glory in his shama' lessness.
 Why shouldn't the United States then, be filled with spies? Haven't they been glorified in every labor struggle and in every labor prosecu- tion Haven't they been placed upon a pedestal of industrial hero ism and made part of the industrial system itself? It is not possible, even remotely so, that any spy who can be secured to join a labor orga- nization or an industrial plant f& the purpose of deceiving, betrayiR5 and misleading those with whom h. works. those who assist him i'll his daily labors, who clasp his hand in friendship and brotherhood, who in yite him who is friepdless to their homes. whc share their bread with him. and aid him in his own haze struggle, will have any hesitancy in betraying the country in which they live for the same contemptible pittance. Why should it be eA- pected that they would not do so?

Sam Lloyd never devised harder nut to crack than the problem which the Leak Probe Committee faced. Exoneration in such doubtful state of mind was the logical thing, but why make use of a goat in such per plexity? To exonerate officials and to blame newspaper men seems to make the problem only the more perplexing Tumulty says that Will son told no one-typed the note by his lonely on his own machine Lansing says that he divided up the manuscript to be codified among his own staff The question then is who told the newspaper men.

MANY SPIES.

When the Espionase Bill debate
 was On in the Senate, some sul,-
 prise, not to say consternation, was 1 provoked by the statement that in
 the United States were over one
 hundred and fifty thousand sorei ;,l spies. Yet how perfectly the cond;- ti9ns within the political system are adjusted to the economic system IS nowhere more fully and .atally typi- lied. As we SOW economically, We reap politically.
 Spying has become part and par. 1 eel Of the American system of m dustry. It finds it's tullese expansion and highest cultivation in this coun- try. The Pinkertons, the Ihiels, the Burns and literally a host of others, some of them gigantic corpo- rations, have wormholed the Amer ican industrial world with this de. testable cult. These spies infest labor unions and time and time again their activities often of a criminal nature have been revealed. Ii there was no crime they made or suggested or provoked crime. All was grist to the mill They have been the active allies of the govern. ment in labor prosecutions and have introduced into American Justice the most debauching and degrading feature that t has manifested.
 Now when the iniquitous system is revealed ill the national politics, the nation stands aghast
 Yet for years there has not been an industrial plant, not a railroad, not traction company which has not it's staff of secret spies constant ly sneaking upon employees, de- ceiying, spying, and suggesting in the interests of their employers.
 For the international spy there may be some excuse. At least he has to endure great risks and un- told dangers. In time of war he gets short shrift and he has the all truistic notion that he is laying down his life on the altar of his country. He believes wrongly, but not surely ignobly, that he is dying that his countrymen may live It is just as logical development of pa triotic idealism as any other. Only when his iniquity is experienced by hostile nations is the other side at ;tll considered.
 But with the industrial spy, the spy that is the hero of many a vici- ous and morbid tale. not one good word can be said. He is utterly and unspeakably contemptible. He is the embodiment of lies. He is deceit in- carnated. He is false to his fellow workers and he betrays for less than the thirty pieces of silver. He has

GRAIN FOR LITTLE PoRKERs
Placed In a Creep Away From Mother
Makes Weaving Easy-Best Time
for Castration.

If the young pigs have been taught
to look for a little grain in a creep
away from their mother, weaving will
be easy. With sweet skim milk as the
basis of their ration at this time their
growth need not be interrupted at all.
While still on the sow, and prefer
ably n couple of weeks before wean-
ing, is the easiest time to castrate the
young bears. Cleanliness and not too
awkward handling in the operation are
all that are necessary at this time.
If the pigs are older when castrated
more skill is required and the shock is
much greater on the pig.

ARMY NAVY FOOTBALL GAME
Little Chance That Big Grid Contest
Will Be Played This Year-See-
rotary Bakers View.

There is little chance that the Army
Navy football game will be played this
year. Newton d. Baker, secretary of
war, declared that he was opposed to.
having the contest played, ever for the
purpose of raising u war fund.
MIR. Baker explained that the Army
Navy game had been discussed by him
with Secretary Daniels and Col. Pal
mer Pierce, u. s. A. head of the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic association.
The decision reached was that so far
as West Point and Annapolis were con-
cerned, every ounce of energy ought
to be employed toward the prosecu-
ton OF the war, ever at the temporary
sacrifice of athletics.
At West Point Secretary Baker ex-
planned a system of very intensive mil
itary training has been initiated, while
arrangements are being rushed to grad
uate two classes ahead.
MIR. Baker also pointed out that the
feeling between West Point and An
napolis was naturally such that play
Ing of the football match would In
volve much training and preparation.
He does not think that this energy
should be devoted at this time even for
the advantage of raising a war fund.

Many Athletes In Various Branches Of

Since the exemption boards through

physically unfit, as were Tommy Glib
