LOVE Dream OVER.
SHELNESFORBA BABY

with ner DaDy boy Dy aner Slue, MIS-
Henry starr is seriously ilI in her
basement home at IA Grant place
northwest In a brief moment Nher
wOmanly hope as loving mother
and faithful wife. the dream OF her
girlhOod, has faded Her faith is
broken; and only the love for her
child remains.
On the night Of July 9 the tragic
hand OF fate scattered sorrow In her
hitherto happy life. Her husband. on
that night, as a policeman, killed
Leroy Mcleod, a youth Starr fred
at an automobile, which ne claims
failed to stop at his signal The buf<
let struck Mcleod, who was a pas
senger in the car.
Mrs. Starr believed in her husband.
She shared his trouble. She smiled
and cOmforted him in his restless
moments. Love had triumphed. But
it was not the end
Starr sought other employment.
But he was not the man his wife be-
lieved him to be- Last week he was
charged with the theft Of S532 from
his employers, the Liggett Drug
stores. And yet his wlfe's trust In
him did not fail She did not under
stand, but she stood BY him.
Another woman Appears.
But then another woman appeared.
starr proved undeserving Of his Wife's
affection and guiding companionship.
Love fled.
II will never go back to him. ]
will not forgive him, said Mrs. Starr.
Starr is now under arrest in Gin
cinnati with a woman named Mar
garet James. He Is wanted IN con-
nection with the Staying Of Emmett
Wood. q young soda fountain clerk.
'If Margaret James Is the woman I
think she is Mrs. Starr threatened,
II will teu all know s5Out her.
Some years ago I met an actress
at the Piedmont Hotel Atlanta, Ga.
She invited me to take an automobile
-ide with her one day told my
husband about 1t. He became very
angry and said I should not notice
her again.
.sHe denied that he knew her. but
later admitted that he had been ac-
quainied with the actress before We
were married"
Believe she II James WOman.
Mrs. Starr. perhaps. believes that
the James woman Is this actress. III
she is, Mrs. Starr viii bare every
thing to break the woman who ran
away with her husbaid
Mrs. Starr is trying to forget. It Is
hard 70 do so with the rapid success
sion of sorrow which has been her lot.
The strain has been too much She
collapsed and is now in a physicians
care
Perhaps. she would go away from
1t all II her health permitted. Her
one concern now Is her baby. Moth
ing else matters. She will live for
the child alone, away from her un-
happy surroundings in place where
the boy can grow up In innocence
Of his fathers blasted career.
Il do not believe Henry had any
thing to do with the staying" said
Mrs. Starr. "He had $500 when
last saw him. Why should he, with
so much money, kill q boy for $40. -
Yet her love for haf husband is
nearly dead. She says she wants to
forget him and win never forgive

DON'T FAIL THEM NOW.

The union man who does not keep
up his dues fails to meet an honor
able obligation which he has volun-
tarily made. He is reaping the bene-
fits of organization yet, through in
difference and neglect, he fails to play
fair with his fellow craftsmen.
He fails to be square with those
who are acting with honor and good
faith. He is a Stacker on the good
union man who pays promptly with
out tagging behind.
The working man who fails to save
a part of his earnings each pay day
fails to keep an equally solemn obli-
cation he has voluntarily made to his
family.
There are two things every union
worker should make the first order
of the day the pay envelope comes
around-pay his union dues and buy
some war savings or some thrift
stamps. He should buy thrift stamps
for the kiddies' card and then get
at least one war savings stamp each
week for the wife's card.
A man who keeps up his union dues
and saves something each week is for
tifying himself against the dangers
of future adversely.

busy building the heaven of riches.
Larger and larger amounts of income
are being concentrated in fewer and
fewer hands. In 1914 there were
101,718 persons with incomes of from
$4,000 to $4,000. By 1917 the num-
Der had increased to 150,551 persons,
almost exactly so per cent. The num-
ber of persons with incomes of $685.
$$$ to $4,000 more than doubled dur
ing the same period, (11,144 to 49,
724). At the same time, the number
of persons with $4,000 to 100000 in
creased almost threefold (3,616 to 1O,-
654) and the number with incomes
of 100000 and over increased four
fold (1,598 to 6,693).
The immense increases have occur
red among the highest incomes and
with increasing rapidity.
The people of the United States are
building the heaven of the rich, and
in order to secure the necessary ma
terials, they are digging graves for
their most cherished and their dearest
liberties.

PRESENT UNREST NOT A BLUFF

Present unrest is founded on the
determination of the workers to gain
a more equitable distribution of the
products of industry, declares The
Labor Clarion, official organ of the
San Francisco Labor Council. The
Clarion says:
"The person who asserts that the
stand-pat employer is a menace to
the orderly progress of this country,
is not indulging in mere attractive
phrasing, as some of them will learn
to their great hurt if they do not
change their course The feeling of
discomfort now sweeping over the
country has something more behind
it than the desire to bluff the boss.
at is founded in the determina-
tion on the part of the workers to
gain a more equitable distribution OF
the products of industry, and the fell
low who wants to grab it all will SIM
ply have to yield to the just demands
of labor or shoulder the responsible
ity for what follows refusal.
"The day of the industrial die
tator is passing, and men of foresight
will observe this fact and shape their
conduct accordingly. The other kind
will get caught in the storm and be
swept unceremoniously out of the
path of progress.
Democracy is in the air. The peo-
pie are thinking about it, talking
about it and insisting upon it. What
are the industrial masters going to
do about it, yield gracefully to the
inevitable, or wait to be forcibly
elected from their seats of power"

SOLD THEIR 1919 QUOTA.

Columbus, Ohio-Morrow, Licking
and Warren counties have sold their
1919 quota of War Savings Stamps.
These counties are the first in the
United States to reach the marks set
by the United States treasury de-
partment for this year.
According to figures just issued at
Ohio War Savings headquarters, Nor
row county leads all others with per
capita sales of $24.97, and total sales
of $436,564. Licking county has a
per capita sale of $17.64 with total
sales of $972,185, while Warren coun-
ty has per capita sale of $15.56 with
total sales of $364,152. Although
these counties have reached their 1919
quotas the sale of War Stamps will
be continued until the end of the year.

EVERY ONE CLAIMS AN ALlBI

Washington-Every one is claim
ing an alibi at the high-cost investi-
cation conducted by the senate agri-
cultural committee.
Wholesalers blame the fellow
above, who, in turn, blames the re-
taller, while that abused person holds
up his hands and invites a thorough
search.
At one of the hearings a St. Louis,
Mo-, meat dealer said he never heard
of profteering in meats, although he
did agree that profiteering in shoes
was possible.
And the great American game of
passing the buck" goes merrily on,
with everyone denouncing the profit
teer.

PAIL OF SORROW
Cast Over Convention By Death of
President John Mitchell.

Cleveland, O.-Deep and sincere
sorrow if felt by the 1000 delegates
present here at the convention of the
United Mine Workers of America
over the death of John Mitchell In
New York City. Mr.. Mitchell has
served as international president for
the past ten years and his death
comes to the membership as a per-
son loss to each individual, to whom
he stood in the relationship of friend
rather than a successful leader of a
great labor body. A committee was
appointed to draft suitable resOlu-
tions and will report later.

THE MENACE OF RICHES.

Hugo's famous statement that "the
heaven of the rich is built upon the
hell of the poor" meets with a ready
response from the poor. Their life
is hell. They realize it; they admit
it. What of the heaven of the rich :?
Is "riches" a synonym for "heaven,
or it is still true that it is easier for
camel to go through the needles
eye than for riches and heaven to
come together?
Much has been said about the fu-
tility of riches from the standpoint
of the individual possessor of wealth.
Probably no one realizes more keen
ly than the rich that he who would
amass wealth for himself "arrives
with pains and sweat and fury no
where" Too little attention has been
devoted to the matter by those who
are interested in building vigorous
body-social in the United States.
The terrible menace of "riches" lies
less in the extravagant, careless,
blase idleness that pervades this
"heaven," than in the abysmal chasm
that yawns between it and the hell
of poverty, and the forces that are
at work widening and deepening the
gulf.
The present economic order makes
poverty as it makes riches-the poor
are poor, primarily because of the
paucity of their wages; the rich are
rich primarily because of the gener-
Gus amounts of rent, interest and
profit that falls to their share as
owners of income yielding property.
The same system that blights the
poor, fattens the rich-necessarily,
because riches is built upon poverty.
Ruskin puts the issue in this un-
answerable way:
"What is really desired, under the
name of riches, is essentially power
over men. :. And this power Oh
wealth of course is greater or less IN
direct proportion to the number of
pearsons who are as rich as ourselves,
and who are ready to give the same
price for an article of which the sup
ply is limited. - E" So that as
above stated, the art of becoming
erich" in the common sense, is not alb
solutely nor finally the art of accu-
mulating much money for ourselves,
but also of contriving that our neigh
bors shall have less. In accurate
terms, it is "the art of establishing
the maximum inequality in our own
favor"
The "heaven of riches" depends up
on establishing and maintaining "the
maximum of inequality''-truly a
questionable variety of "heaven."
The rich may remain rich only
while they keep their neighbors-
brother humans-poor-tr truly an ex-
traordinary basis upon which to build
society. Society? How absurd!
Upon such a bisis there can be found
ed naught but tumult, conflict, chaos!
Daniel Webster saw it coming ana
warned against it. Abraham Lincoln
lamented over it's imminence.
Today, it is here, and we are busify
engaged in making it more thorough
going and emphatic.
The people of the United States are

A PERTINENT QUESTION

What do the telephone of Newark think is fair
return on the investment in the plant necessary for their
telepone service?
What do the city officials think is fair return2
These pertinent questions especially when addressed
to city officials
The total investment in the plant of this company is
somewhat in of its total of stocks and bondSthere
fore there is "Watered stock.
Upon part of the stock dividend of per cent is paid
and part of the stock and all of the bonds per cent is
paid.
In other words upon total capitalization of something
less than the actual investment less than per cent is paid
Is that too much is it about right or is it not enough?
We would welcome expression this question, es-
pecially from the mayor and city solicitor
