BEFORE THE UNIONS CAME.

Those must have been the grand old
days-before the unions came,
When master worked his men long
hours and little kids the same,
When the whole darned family had to
toll to make both ends meet
And half the time the family bed was
somewhere in the street
When to ask what you were getting
made you guilty Of crime
And the bastinadoe was his portion
when he dared to ask for time.
II he dared protest he was fiogged till
for weeks he was lame,
Oh, yes, they were the grand old days
before the unions came.
But those were the peaceful days-be-
fore the DANCED old unions
came.
II some poor worker got killed-there
was no one to place the blame;
No one TO say when the day was done,
no one to call the hour,
Till the owner tired of watching them,
his face too fierce and sour.
Fourteen hours was "'fair days
work" before the unions came,
And the calaboose yawned for he
who'd shirk-it wasn't in the
game;
And man could work till with old age
he reached the end of the lane,
In those grand old, DANCED old days
before the unions came.
Then there were no agitators before
the unions came.
And the sun and moon and stars went
on just the same,
And there seemed less grief for the
masters game,
In those grand old days before the
unions came.

The Busch family Of st. Louis
bought at least 81 100000 worth Of
German war bonds which were sold
in this country for propaganda and
for the purchase of the New York
Evening Mail and other newspapers.
News Item.
The Busch million that went into
German war bonds and was used to
poison the wells of information in this
country all came from Budweiser.
You, and millions of other Ameri-
cans have contributed directly or in
directly to the Busch millions. We
have furnished the money with which
treachery and treason have been
financed.
We have built the Busch castle on
the Rhine and have made the name
Of Busch famous in kaiserdom for its
luxurious surroundings and support of
Hun institutions.
Buying Budweiser has done this
maybe more. Perhaps the Busch war
bond million has bought bullets for
the Boches to kill our American boys.
We are tolerant people. Budwei-
ser is still selling and many of US
are still buying it.
II we do not drink beer the Busch
family supplies us with Bevo.
Bevo, Budweiser and Busch are all
the same. They suggest treachery

HOW TO STOP CHILD LABOR
By WILLIAM MARION REEDY in the St Louis Mirror

matter in all its aspects it may well
be reproduced here in part:
"A tax on child labor would be a
valid internal revenue law. For a
short time it would produce revenue
from section of the country which
produces very little now, but the rev.
enue would be of brief duration. Child
labor would cease because it had be-
come improbable.
What l propose is an excise tax,
and no constitutional objection can
be offered to it. Congress can put a
stop to the employment of child labor
by this method whenever it sees fit.
There is no limit to the power of the
federal government to lay an excise
tax, provided it is laid uniformly thru
out the United States. 1t may be ar
gued that We must tax things, not
business. On the contrary, we now
pay a federal tax at theaters. There
used to be a federal tax on the busi-
ness of selling tobacco at retail-not
on the tobacco, but on the business.
The government taxes the saloon
keeper.
by such a tax society may either
express its disapproval of a business
because it is harmful to society and
make men pay for the privilege of en-
gaging in it; or society may blot out
the business altogether. / would not
have Congress inquire painstakingly
into the profits of child labor, and
then assess a tax to offset that profit,
but would have Congress obliter-
ate it.
1--WE have employed three methods
in applying national legislation to the
states. We have used the police pow
er, the Interstate commerce clause
and internal revenue. / was much
opposed to attempting this legisla-
tion thru the interstate commerce
clause, and submitted brief to show
the constitutional objections to such
an effort, and to show that, if sus-
! tanned, the law as drawn could not
be enforced. The decision, therefore,
brought kind of melancholy salts
faction.
"The child labor law passed by
Congress penalized the goods, penal
lied the place of manufacture, but did
not penalize child labor except by in
direction. 1t provided that goods
must not enter interstate commerce
if children had been employed within
thirty days in the factory or mine
where they originated. 1t was, l
think, an absurd law. But that need
cause no despair. believe the pow
er inherent in taxation is the remedy
in this case, and will come to be more
and more used for the accomplish
ment of social betterment.
Objection has been made that this
is covert legislation; that is to say,
it is legislation meant to accomplish
something other than its obvious i'm
port. If you impose a prohibitive tax
on child labor, the intention is to stop
the employment of children, not to
derive tax. present that objection
merely as one which has been offered,
not as one with which / have any
sympathy. There is ready at hand a

Work and Play.

Is generally known as play, says the
New York Times. For instance, ones

monotonous occupation, and decided
change of occupation, Notwithstanding
it be what we usually call work. will
permit the first brain center involved
to rest while another works. But we
come back to the fact that what most
people regard as play is an occupation
that they are not required to perform,
and, it would seem from psycholog-
lcal standpoint to give greater rest II
1t be an occupation that is particularly
useless from the standpoint of produc-
Ing economic results. Therefore there
should be time set aside in the work
of the day, no matter whether 1t be
varied or not, when the environment
may be changed and play should be
taken up.

TWO NOTED RIVERS
TauIiamento and Livenza Become
important in Italy.
One Stream of No Value Commercially,
While the Other Is Known for
Many Tributaries.

The National Geographic society al
Washington has issued the following
war geography bulletins on the Taglia.
mento and Livenza rivers, mentioned
in the cable dispatches concerning the
German drive into Italy:
"The Tagliamento river. whose flood
ed banks served as rampant for the
retreating Italians for only few days,
and which was crossed by the Austro-
German forces. is a stream of no value
commercially. 1t is one of many small
rivers rising in the Carnic Alps and
flowing through the Venetian plain into
the Adriatic. Its headwaters are
near Mount Clapsavon, about sixty-five
miles northwest of its. entrance into
the Adriatic but the course of the
stream is meandering. flowing first to
the east and then south through
marshy valley, thus traversing dis
lance of 100 miles.
"Just 100 years ago the Tagliamento
figured prominently in another great
military campaign in northern Italy. 1t
was during Napoleon's campaign of
1897 that re-enforcements were greatly
needed by the French. Bernadotte,
who afterward was placed by Napoleon
on the throne of Sweden as Charles
XIV led his army with signal dispatch
from the banks of the Rhine to his
commander in chief. and at the pas
sage of the Tagliamento won enduring
distinction.
"The Tagliamento passes no import
ant cities of Venetia. The most import
ant of the small towns that squat upon
its marshy banks are Venzone 20 miles
by rail from the Austro-Italian frontier;
Spilimbergo and Latisana. The last
named is equidistant from Venice and
Trieste on the 1OO-mile railway which
connects these two important cities.
The Taglamento flows Is miles to the
west of Udne, the first italian city of
importance to fall before the Onrushing
Teutonic forces in the present often
sive.
I'm ancient times the Tagliamento
was known as Tilaventus.
"The Livenza, like the Tagliamento,
Is one of many streams which rise in
the Carnic Alps and flow through the
delta region Of Venetia. Its course is
not more than seventy-fve miles in
length. but it has numerous tributaries,
chief among those on the east being
the Medina, the Fiume and the Sile,
while the Monticano and the Meschla
are affluents of the west bank. The
point at which the Livenza mingles its
waters with the Adriatic is only 229
miles northeast of Italy's priceless
jewel city. Venice.
1.-THE plain lying between the paral-
lei courses of the Tagliamento and the
Livenza is dotted with Italian towns
of great historic and art interest. Chief
among these are Pordenone. probably
the Pontus Naonis of the ancients, but
now many miles from the sea; Porto
gruaro San Vito. AZzano and the ruins

Switzerland Like United States.

Switzerland is the only European
example of a federative and demo-
cratic republic of the American type.
observes writer Switzerland. as the
United States, was born from desire
for emancipation from autocratic des-
potism; like the United States, Swift
zerland never believed in the divine
right of kings. The very past which
the ancient federates, on that quiet
SPOT, the Ruth, on the classic Lake
of Lucerne on August l, 1921, sWore
to, embodies that great principle for
which now, 626 years later, the United
States is fighting, namely, to quote
President Wilson's own words, For
the right of those who submit to au-
thority to have voice in their own
governments" There the old Swiss
proclaimed self government against the
autocratic rule of the Hapsburg, in the
following words: 1--WE Ordain and di-
rect with unanimous accord, that in
the aforementioned valleys we shall
recognize no judge who shall have
bought his rights with money or in any
other manner, or who shall not be a
native and an inhabitant of these dis
trictS."

the rich father was attempting to
