paper, Solidarity, but this 10 weekly
publication and comes at too infrequent
periods to convey much news concern
ing quickly moving strikes.
A practice of the /. w. w. Is for a
member when arrested for any crime or
misdemeanor to resist arrest. This
brings to his support all other mem
bers of the w. w. in the city or dis
trict and they proceed to commit the
same offense. BY doing this the fra
ternity is certain that publicity will
follow, and the news get out to every
other member in the country. The OBJ
ject is to flood the courts until they
cannot handle the cases. and with the
spread of the news almost Immediately
the trains are filled with members of
the band on the way to the scene Of the
| trouble.
Sioux City history affords one OF the
best illustrations Of |. w. w. methods
| yet brought to public notice. In the
winter Of 1876 several members OF
the l. w. w. were arrested here for
minor offenses and considerable pub
licity of the fact given. Within two
weeks a couple Of thousand of them
had swarned into the city and there
We're scores Of near riots and much
general disturbance Petty crimes in
creased and policing the city became
difficult.
Eventually the police and the news
papers awoke to the fact that the 1.
w. w. was anxious for them to do the
very thing they had been doing. Then
the publicity ceased and prisoners were
no more questioned as to whether they
were members of the l w. w. Within
another two weeks the rovers had al
most entirely disappeared from the city
and those who remained were consid-
cred merely as hoboes.
Sioux City two years ago was one
of the great I. w, W. centers of the
country. There was an actual member
ship here Of more than 1000 and large
hall and club rooms were maintained.
Then the publicity ceased and the
membership faded. Today there are
probably less than 100 active members
in the city and these are not dis
tinguishable except when one Of them
is heard clamoring on the street against
all men who go armed except l. w.
VS.. The latter are always armed
If the council of national defense will
ask the newspapers to cut out all L.
w. w. strike and riot news there will
probably be rapid dissolution OF their
forces.
Peace loving people can take care Of
all I. W. VS. without advertising how.
| they do it.

THOSE FEET OF CLAY.


[SiouX City JournaL]
The governor of the commonwealth
-er-state of Iowa has written a note
to the attorney general. The attorney
general has answered it. Each of the
ninety-nine county attorneys OF Iowa
has also received from the attorney
general note. And the occasion Of
all this writing is the fact that the
governor suspects somebody of con-
spring with somebody to sell potatoes
and things to the consumers Of Iowa
at price that reeks of extortion
Not without reason, apparently Gov.
Harding thinks the public is being
souged when it buys food and fuel. He
sees on the one hand the moderate
price that is going to the producer,
and on the other the immoderate price
That is going to the retailer. He sur
misses that somewhere on the route
from mine or farm TO bin or table an
unfair profit is being added, and that
the means employed to add to it are
in violation Of the states anti-trust
laws. Therefore as becomes a chief
executive having the interests of the
whole people at heart he puts his sus-
plcious down in black and white and
calls boy to deliver them to the at
torney general. several doors down the
nall. He includes in the note the sug-
sestion that since the attorney general
by act of the legisla ture has at his dis
posal the services of various state
agents" and fund with which TO keep
them energiZed, that official proceed
promptly to get the goods on the trusts
and bust 'em-"bust'' EN- higher than
kite. as ii were.
The attorney general. answering
thanks Hon. Governor for thinking Of
him at all. mentions that he had in
vestigated these things before the gov
ernor had even begun to sniff adds
that he would welcome any. informa-
ton which his chief has been so lucky
as to collect concerning the bad prac-
tees, and signs himself Yours very
truly" Also, the attorney general
tells the county attorneys to talk it
over with the sheriffs and IL the sher-
ifs know Of any trusts running around
in their districts TO take them in and
hold them until the attorney general
can-just once!-get his fingers in the
scruff Of their necks. And while they
are about 1t. the county attorneys and
sheriffs can take up a hitch in the en-
forcement Of the anti-speeding law for
automobiles, too.
Now. in this little penmanship exer-
else the Des Moines newspapers being
Des Moines newspapers, profess to see
politics; whereas really there is merely
a demonstration on the part OF both
the governor and the attorney general
that they possess an earnest devotion
to the welfare Of all Iowans-not unas-
'sociated with a meat az sense Of
humor.

WHAT A RAILROAD WANTS.

Clifford Thorne didn't do thing to
the president of the Pennsylvania rail-
road when the latter went into print
with a criticism of the interstate com
merce commission because it did not
give the railroads the whole IL per cent
increase of freight rates they asked.
Thorne showed on the hearing before
the commission that ali the eastern dis
trict railroads had earned 101a per cent
on all their capital stock. including tn.
water" But citing Mr.. Rea's testi-
mony that per cent is a reasonable
dividend on railroad stock, Mr. Thornc
said:
During the past ten years the Penn
sylvania railroad has paid this diri-
dend every year, and, in addition. the
public has given the Jennsylvania, a

Scot of today, when no dresses up in
his native tartan; for, on his left
shoulder, holding up the folds of his
plaid, he wears a huge silver brooch,
generally round, sometimes rectangu-
lar, made somewhat on the order of a
buckle. II is most interesting, trying
to decipher the inscriptions and SYM
bols. A great deal Of history is often
recorded on these brooches.
Among the most famous of the
ancient ones is the Hunterston
brooch, which was found in the early
nineteenth century in Ayrshire. not
far from the battlefield where a con-
flict ragged, shortly before the battle
of Largs, in the year 1852. This is
of silver, beautifully adorned with
gold filigree and engraved or chased
with ribbon and other patterns, and
incrusted with pieces of amber. Upon
the under side several runes are en-
graved. The diameter Of this brooch
measures nearly five inches.
Another exceedingly interesting
piece Of the old-time jewelry of Sept
land is the brooch Of Lorn. Tradition
has it that this brooch was torn from
the breast Of Robert Bruce, by one
Alexander of Lorn. an ancestor Of the
Macdougals, when he engaged in
combat or a match with the king.
This measures some four inches in
diameter and is adorned with a circle
Of jeweled obelisks. as they have been
called, around the central boss.
Brooches on the large fiat disk or
der were made in Scandinavian coun-
tries, during the days Of the Vikings,
and these are copied or initiated quite
largely by the craftsmen of today.
Many are made Of copper and are ex-
tremely beautiful.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 9.-Dr.
Dudley A. Sargent. director Of Hem
ingway gymnasium, Harvard uni
versity, has recently declared that
the average woman would make as
good. a soldier as the average man.
DR.. Sargent says that the physical
inferiority of women is hardly great
enough to discount their superior
energy and vitality.
Pound for pound the average
normal woman in good health can
endure more pain, discomfort and
fatigue, and can expend more muscu-
lar energy than the average normal
man Of similar condition, declared
DIR. Sargent.
Woman Of necessity comes nearer
the primitive type than man. She is
biologically more of a savage, more
of barbarian, and she has there
fore greater physical endurance. She
can undergo many strains a man
cannot.
