Money Talks.

1t must be lovely to suddenly become a mil
lionaire and with the milonaires swash. There's
the case of Tadasaburo Yamamoto, of Tokyo He
awoke morning to discover that war prohteer-
ing had put so many millions in his Golfers that
they were likely to explode
Now. when you become millionaire, you've
got to do something different" to show that you
the real thing. So, first thing Mr.. Yamamoto
does is to hire twentyone newspaper reporters and
blazed away at tigers boars, deer, bears, leopards
death yell of wild beasts. But huhl that's some
thing like old game of millionaires, so Million
airc Yam-etc. took his biggest tiger and made a
great banquet on it, for his friends and reporters
at Tokyo
Of course, tiger, fried baked stewed or boiled
Is just cat, intensified undenatured cat; but every
banqueter said it was delicious. When you eat off
millionaire, it is proper that you like cat kitten
anything else that he pays for. Anyhow, Mr..
Eam-etc. had done something that distinguished
him from all other sudden milonaires, and every
body who full of his kind of cat said So
But he wasn't through sparkling yet. He de-
sired that the whole world should know of his sud
den arrival among the malefactors of great wealth,
and so he shipped the skin of that big tiger to
own Col Roosevelt. AS soon as the Colonel
is convalescent he'll get a note something like
this:
Most High, Gracious friend: Please accept
honorable token OF mightest esteem in shape
OF honorable tiger skin. We ate the inside.

Trotzky, His View.

Ii TrotzkyS purpose is honestly and reliably set forth
in his book The Bolshevid and World Peace" the
American public, generally speaking, has the wrong
view of the and his aims
According to Author Trotzky, the crux of the Boil
sheyii doctrine is THE industries for the working
men; the land for the peasants" and it must be ad
mted that there is whole lot of thought along that
line in America and not little attempted, though per-
haps indirect legislation We have least got as far
government regulation of the wages hours, work
ing conditions and ages of the working classes We
least have acknowledged the vciousness of large land
holding and the injustice of system of taxing lands
But If Trotzky is misunderstood by US, he is equally
mistaken in Us. since he pfoclams that purpose

The Shipping Strike.

The significant warning of President Wisoa
to the striking carpenters in the New York ship
yards means that labor must go as far as bus-
ness has been forced to go in making its own
class claims secondary to those of the nation in
war times
The President stands for the principle of arb-
tration; by taking a personal stand in the New
York strike he restates his own belief that this
principle should be into the warp and
woof of labor relations during times as vital to
the future of the nation, and of the world, as
these are.
Secretary of Labor Wilson has called con-
ference in Washington next week to consider the
entire question of national labor policy during
war Five representatives of the employers, and
FIVE representatives of labor, will compose the
conference. These men should be able to reach
definite and fixed points of agreement on the ord-
nary questions of controversy in labor relations
They will not be binding on anybody a per
manent policy, although it is quite possible that
they will be accepted as permanent, if mutually
satisfactory and fundamentally just
No class of labor ought to be backward about
confding its to arbitration now. There may
be certain circumstances connected with the ship
carpenters strike which make arbitration in this
particular instance hardship and disadvantage to
the strikers. Certainly the aborites could make the
defense that the employers have refused arbitra-
ton so often in the past that they are justified
in taking a hand in the same game themselves
when strong enough to do But that defense
can be met, because these days war days,
and every interest should be subordinate to that
of the nation.
With real craftsmanship in Washington there
should be no menacing labor trouble in the United
States while it is engaged in the mans-sze job
of winning the war. We confident there will
be a solution of the present difficulty without
further ado.

its strength by struggling through
! generation after generation in a bat
tie against the ravages of liquor. If
we remove it now by sudden and
sweeping legislative act we remove

A great weekly contends that the
transportation trouble of the last
three months did not result from a
breakdown of the carriers, but of
public regulation.
An analysis of this statement can
not but lead to doubt, however.
Public regulation has been only per-
| functory. 1t has touched only the
| high spots. 1t has never invaded the
actual operating realm. 1t has pre-
scribed medicine In great amounts for
all the ills, in other words, but we
have yet to find the concrete evidence
that it has either compounded the
medicine or remained by while the
patient partook of it according to d.
rections.
II public regulation had really been

fall-down. The trouble is there was
no public regulation. We all thought.

FOR HOME GUARD
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAKE
AN APPROPRIATION
OF $500.

Pursuant to the powers given by
an enactment of the late extra ses-
sion of the legislature, the county
commissioners this forenoon appro-
priated $500 for the use of the home
guard. This money will be used in
the purchase of equipment, Capt. M.
II. Colgrove said this afternoon. The
officers of the company were not so
modest in their request as what was
granted would indicate, but the COM
missioners said that, due to a slight
stringency of f,~ds at this time, they
would appropriate the sum of $500
now and when the company needed
more to let them know. 1t was pur,
posed that the men be reimbursed fol-
their uniforms and equipment, but
this cannot be done at this time, and
the money will probably be used IN
the purchase of guns and amrouni
ton, or possibly some other equip
ment.

made for registering those who are

cards may be in the hands of their

THE blue BIRD"
AT THE LYRIC THEATER MON
DAY AND TUESDAY,
MAY ~ AND %.

The pursuit of happiness is one of
the e%nnobling characteristics of man
kind. But for it, civilization would
lapse back to primal savagery. Phil
osophers have sought 1t as being the
panacea for all the manifold ills of
society of every degree.
Maurice Maeterlinck, the Belgian
Shakespeare" and world-famed phil
osopher, tells how happiness may be
found in his wonderful symbolical
play, THE Blue Bird" which has
been picturized most deliberately for
Aircraft pictures by Maurice Tour
neur, one of the most celebrated di-
rectors in the cinema world. This
superproGuction will be displayed at
the Lyric theater, next Monday and
Tuesday, May 27 and %.
The story Of The Blue Bird" is a
philosophical dissertation upon life,
in which all things are endowed with
life and speech, and in which one is
given a glimpse of the hereafter. The
dead awaken, with messages for the
they im~patiently await their advent
into life upon earth. A production
of surprising beauty, with IN exqui-
site theme and a plainly discernible
allegory, it is, nevertheless, so clearly
interpreted, that the simplest child
