CHAPTER XIII

Il was beautiful to waksethe next
morning with the birds singing
matin in he trees, and Al wonderful
Sabbath quiet over everything Tireo
ont "a she was and worn with excite
men and care, Shirley was the first to
waken, and she lay there qutet beside
Carol for a little while with her eyes
closed, listening, and saying g prayer
Of Thanksgiving for the peace on the
place, and the wonder that It had
come into her life. Then suddenly a.,
strange luminousness aooutsner SIM
ply formed her to open her eyes.
The eastern window was across he
room from her bed, and tho sky was
rosy. with the dawn, n ooaln the
room. It was the first years
she had watched the sun rise. She
had almost forgotten, in the little
dark city house, that there was a run
to rise and make things glorious. The
u had seemed an enemy to hpurn
and wilt and stile..
But now here was a friend, a radi-
ant new friend. to be waited for and
enjoyed. to give glory to all their
lives. She raised herself on n Ell
bow and watched until the red balt'
had risen and burst into the bright
ness of day. Then she lay down soft
ly again and listened to the birds.
They seemed. to be mad with Joy over
the new day. Presently the chorus
grew less and less. The birds had
gone about their morning tasks. and
only a single bright song now and
then from some soloist in h big tree
overhead marked the swe~et-scented
silence of the morning. 2

FIXING PRICES

Director General Hines refuses to buy steel for the
railroads under his charge at the prices lately agreed
in by. the steel manufacturers Of the country in confer
ence with the Industrial board. According to the very
meagre statements sent out following the meeting Of
officials concerned, the objection of Mr.. Hines is not
specifically to the prices asked because they are too
nigh, but because they are fixed. His point appears to
gsbe. that not that the war is over, he, as the representa-
tive Of the railroads, should have opportunity to buy
steel where he can find it, at the best prices that he can
get under freely competitive conditions. There is the
suggestion that any attempt to reach a general under
atandins on the matter Of prices will be illegal under
the federal statutes. ~ s@s
$ss Il is easy to seneraHze on this matter Of prices and
competition, but as a practical proposition the subject
ID full of difficulties. Unrestricted competition in the es-
sentials Of industry is as bad for the country al unresu-
lated monopoly, and both are disastrous. In fact. unre-H
sstricted competition tends to. create monopoly. because
under it the big concern can sell below cost, it It desires,
pntI II has put small competitors out Of business.

OUT ON BAIL

William D. Haywood and thirty-six others out of
the several score Of men who were convicted OF con-
spiracy to interfere with the governments war opera
tons have been admitted to bail pending appeal. These
men, all members of or associated with the l. w. w.
were convicted and sentenced. In the testimony it was
clearly established. not particularly that these men were
friends Of Germany, but that they were enemies of the
American government. and. legal technicalities aside
sentenced them. The release of a part of them on bail
courts will naturally be hailed with joy by the friends
archists.
* Some years ago, Judge Amidon, Of the federal dis
trict court for North Dakota. delivered a notable adj
dress on the need for reform in legal procedure.
Emphasis was placed on the fact that the delays and I'M
certainties in the administration of justice due largely
to the prevailing procedure impaired public confidence
in the courts and tended to bring the law into contempt.
Unless our recollection is at fault, it was in that address
that the statement was made in substance that the press
ing question of the time was not how to protect the in
nocent, but whether or not it was possible to punish the
guilty.
Haywood and his companions will be at large for
some weeks, months or years. They have been warned
that any resumption by them of such activities as those
Of which they were convicted, will lead to their prompt
incarceration. Apparently that means that these con-
victed men will not be expected to commit murder or
arson while they are at large. Unless there is a change
from the attitude in the Debs case. it does not mean
much more than that, for Debs, while at large pending
his appeal, was permitted to continue his anarchistic ut
terances without hindrance.

SELF DETERMINATION

IL The doctrine Of self determination is being worked
overtime in defense of the alleged right of the people
CT Russia, Of Hungary and elsewhere. to have the kind
Of government that they desire. AS the phrase is used
and intended, no such right exists. No nation has a
srtght to do as it pleases Internationally any more than
The individual has the right to do as he pleases just
as far as his doing SO does not interfere with the equal
right of other people. The individual has a right to his
share of the road, and only to that share. He has a
right to go and come in a peaceful, orderly manner. He
has not the right, by word or act, to attack or annoy
Others.
ga Within certain limits the family is an independent
unit, and the home an impregnable fortress. The par
cents have a right to control the acts of their children,
and to conduct the affairs of the family without inter
ference from the n%eighbors. But that right is limited.
The parents may not abuse their children. They may
not disturb the peace Of the neighborhood with quarrels
and acts Of violence. If they do these things the neigh
bors. in person or through their official representatives.
will interfere.
4s Similarly the Russians have the right to any form
of government that suits them, republican, monarchical
or communistic, SO long as it is a government, within
reasonable limits accepted and obeyed by the people,
!. and SO long as it does not involve the people of other
nations in danger. When this latter condition arises.
Fit is not only the right but the duty Of other nations
to interfere. i

be true. But there are decent people in Chicago. sew

down to brass tacks it is their fault that one of their

Here's a bit OF unwritten hisrory
that figured in the release OF soutaA
paw Willie Mitchell, who once gave
promise of being one OF Cleveland'8

But Willie was bit shy on nerve.
The Indians were playing the Red
Sox in Boston and Willie accidentally
cut one loose a little close to Iris
Speakers head. A fierce below came
from Spoke and several teammates

CENTRAL TO CLASH
WITH HATED RIVAL

Tomorrow decks will be cleared
for the Central High School-Busiuess
High School basketball game at the
Y. NJ. G. \.
Business has won five chamoiOn-
ship games without a defeat. Central
has won four and lost two. Business
has yet to play Eastern and Tech.
The game with Central tomorrow
offers the Stenographers a chance T.
get so far ahead that the title IS
assured.
Central cleaned up in the title race
last season. Business won its cham
pionship on the floor in 1914, while
championships in basketball have
been divided between Western, Tech
nical and Central since.
Central has a mathematical chance
only to win the title. Business must
lose to Eastern, which is improbable,
and must drop one to Central or
Tech before a tie could result.
Coach Carl A. Metzler. Of Central,
depIores the fact that the basket
ball series started so early this sea-
son. "Given a bit more :ima, 1
think Central would have come
through to another basekOtball
championship" says Metzls- THE
team is in first-class shape. We
lack a capable center this year and,
believe me, we miss Dave Wilson"

As matters now stand, only verbal
agreement has been entered into by
Tex Rickafd and Jack Kearns. Even
that is Of no value, but it is not likely
that either party will break il. That
isn't done, that's all; it isn't done.
Therefore, on Dempsey's arrival the
meeting at the Hotel CIaridge will be

articles may be signed and every
thing made strictly legal and binding.

Georges Carpenter. Until Fred Full

might have been given a chance at

failure-to agree to terms. OF course,

Since coming to Kew York Rickard
has heard from Carpenter. The great
French boxer asked the best terms

with Willard. If Dempsey were fool
fsh enough TO pass UP this opportun-
ity by demanding higher terms than
those already agreed upon by Kearns,
his manager, and Rickard, the pro-
moter, he would be discarded at once
and Carpenter would be brought
across the ocean and given a chance
at the worlds heavyweight title,
something for which he may yet con-
tend some day anyway.
The appointment of Harry Wills
