SHUT-IN BAY.

Come this way to Shut-in Bay Shut-in Bay where the soldiers stay, The soldiers wounded in France. Fair are the fields with flowers in
 bloom, CThere are no hoWrs in the narrow
 rOom) And the birds are singing a lullaby; (There is no music where sick men
 sigh)
 The skies are red with the sunset
 glow (Inside, the night means a dream of
 woe
 To those in the white cots row on TOW, For pain is raging and time is slow With the dwellers of Shut-in Bay) Come this way to Shut-in Bay Shut-in Bay where the wounded pay The cost of the war in France.

Did Learn Something.
est. Louis Globe-Democrat.

ISt. IOuIS NIOUe-D -DcIn OCTat1
 The stubborn optimist had declared there was no one from whom he could not learn something.
 We had disputed him, and had plotted to heap confusion upon his head by shutting him in with the vi1- laGe bore who never knew anything for use.
 After two hours with the V. F., the $. o. emerged pale, but smiling.
 "Arrh- harrh." we snarlngly gloat- ed, And did you learn anything from him ?"
 "Yes.' replied the Optimist brave ly. "I learned what an awful thing it is to be a person from whom no one can learn anything."

LABOR UNIONS VS. I. w. ".

The New York Times sees in the vindication of industrial justice, the victory of right over threat and, most important of all, the fortifying of the safe and sane labor unions and the decline of the dangerous I. W. w. The strike has been cancelled and the strikers have gained nothing. Their treasurer reports that funds have been overdrawn. That is the net result of an attempt to intimidate capital rather than appeal for in creased wages through legitima te channels and by legitimate methods. Commenting on the labor trouble, the Times says:
 A strike of that sort deserves to fail, for it is rather a political than a labor strike. The failure is worth insisting upon, for two reasons. Firstly, the lesson is that when strikes are of that sort they should be met with firmness rath- CT than sympathy for the general interest suffers more than labor can profit. And, secondly, the re- suit of this strike should teach labor that jt can gain more by peaceful tban by forceful meth ods What it was not possible to concede to threats in Lawrence, under the condition of that time, it is now possible, under better business conditions. to give freely to- Dover, .Lowells Fall River, New Bedford, and, in fact, the whole Industry of New England.

The question Of how wartime pro-
hibition is to be enforced after July
is still engaging the attention of
authorities of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, as well as other officials The
vets and the drys are greatly inter-
ested in il.
Legal advisers Of the Government
fail to find specific authority for the
Bureau of Internal Revenue to en-
force wartime prohibition.
1t is pointed out, however, that
President Wilson, under the Overmau
act, giving him power to transfer
functions from one bureau to another,
might delegate power from the De-
partment Of Justice for the enforce
ment. This, however, would leave the
bureau without adequate funds to pay
the cost Of maintaining a large Fed
eral police force.
DFys Seek Quick Action.
Legislation early in the special ses-
sion Of Congress might simplify the
matter and give the bureau the need
ed funds as well as authority. Drys
will endeavor to force through early
legislation.

Roper Is receiving many kilograms

time prohibition.

tive order of the President, dated Sep
tember ?, 1917. under the Overman
act, the President delegated to the
Revenue Bureau and the customs di-
vision the enforcement of the pro-
vision Of the food conservation act OF
August 10, 1917, which prohibited the
use Of food materials in the produc-
tion Of whiskey and paved the way
for restriction OF beer brewing.
But this does not apply to war
time prohibition as IL was exacted
long afterwards. The bureau will
have power to prevent manufacture
contrary to law, but it will not, un-
der the old order, have authority to
prevent sales.
Would Have State Enforce.
William Anderson, State superin-
tendent OF the>Anti-Saloon League In
New York, in a statement said prohi-
bition would be brought under State
laws, requiring State officials to en-
force it He said:
practically all the States, includ-
ing New York, forbid the sale of
liquor except under license and un-
less demobiliZation was proclaimed
before July / no licenses could be is
sued after that date and those now
in force would be invalid. This would
bring the prohibition question under
the State laws requiring State officials
to enforce &C."
