COULD NOT HOLD HIS JOB. jim
> CROWiSM PASSES.

Ex-Lieut. Governor Harper, Insur-
ance Commissioner, lost his job be-
cause the Senate failed to confirm
him. Thus is removed one of the few
remaining Carlson's obstacles at the
Capitol Recall with us that it was
he who took the bull by the horns
and ignored all republican organiza-
tions Of Color and put in office on his
nerve, a man who never was entitled
to any consideration politically, be-
cause he was working for the demo
Gratis during and after campaign.
When white men select Negro lead
ers after We put them in office, The
Star will sit up with them and take
notice. We hope that with the pass
ing Of Mr. Harper will be the passing
of all Jim Crowism at the State Capt.
toll.

THE WINNING ARGUMENT.

ut is idle to argue from prophecy
when we may argue from history
pithily said Sidney Lanier. What
has really happened as the result of
dry law is Of more value as prohibit
ton argument than all the prognostI-
cations Of liquor advocates in and for
territory now wet. In a recent cam
paign issue the Union Signal gives
column after column to this worth
while history argument. Flrst-hand
testimony from IA dry states (there
was no space for mOre) proves that
prohibition Is a boon and a blessing,
socially and economically; that 1t In
creases man power and money pow
er. 'aThe success argument" says
the editor, SIS the winning factor In
present-day prohibition campaigns. It
effectually slIences the liQuorites."
That argument is abundantly sup
piled by enthusiastic statements con-
tinually given out by governors, attor-
ney generals, mayors, sheriffs, bank
ers, by business managers, labor COM
missioners, and prominent residents C
prohibition states.

about 140 and hasn't a pound to spare
that is the real prize for military sery-

Tests made at Princeton and In the

He scores relatively low Ia strength

status Of Arab Nation.

The Arab nation is without money
or natural resources. Its territory con-
tains neither mineral nor external agri-
cultural wealth-but the redemption
of Mesopotamia will afford the Arab
Of the future opportunity for aggran-
dizement. There, under semi-inde-
pendence, after barrages on the Tigris
and Euphrates have been built by Brit
ish energy and cash, Bagdad may rise
to a higher scale of learning, splendor
and wealth than under the caliphat Of
Haroun al Raschld.
OF the entire outcome from the war,
therefore, notes a correspondent, the
Arab renaissance is assuredly not the
least momentous. Historically, 1t will
mark the advent Of a new era; ethno-
logically 1t becomes. a charming study

LIQUOR AND LABOR.

A department superintendent Of one
Of the big tire factories in Akron, O.,
uses 60 men In each shift. They are
making gas masks, miners respirators,
and other vital war material. That de-
partment is working only two shifts
day instead Of three, because Of tho
scarcity of labor. They pay off on
Friday. On one Saturday only six of
the sixty men in one shift reported for
work. NINETY per cent of our labor
troubles are due to BOOZE" says this
superintendent. If the government
would shut down on the liquor traffic
we could increase our output enor-
mously. There is no lack Of labor.
The only trouble is to keep 1t working
full time"
