its virtues were extolled by the good
natured auctfoneer TO such an extent
that it realized extraordinary prices.
The only excuse for the ~conhscation

automobiles in which il was carried, Is
the contention that il should not be US

is that liquor belongs in the category

BUYING WAR DECORATIONS.

Only 100 often the sale is forced by a need for mon.
ey which the owner os the badge o. honor Is too proud
to reveal. There are also many plain, prosaic souls who
would rather have q dollar in real money than the croiy
de guerre. This is especially true OF the lonely youth,
Indifferent because ae has 10 kin TO care whether he be
decorated or not
Nobody should buy Z soldiers decoration, however,
without first satisfying himself that the sale is legiti

tioning may reveal q condition which can be helped
without the soldiers parting with his badge Of honor.
Also the purpose Of the purchase should Be q fair
one. It is perfectly legitimate for a collector to add
such a worth while trophy to his treasures if he 50 de
sires.
OF course, the inexcusable thing Is to wear a decora-
ton to which one IS not entitled. Words fail to express
the dishonesty and meanness Of such a proceeding. But
where the sale is honest and the object OF a purchase
clean, no stigma should attach to the transaction.

CREDIT OR THE Y. M. c. A.

After the many attempts to discredit the work Of
the J. NJ G A among the a.. z. f., it is pleasing to
learn that carefully conducted Investigations are prov
ing much of this criticism unwarranted and due to mis-
UNDERSTANDINGS. The y" a. a whole seems to have
performed a great and unselfsh service, and many Of
the workers showed marked heroism.
The principal trouble, as indicated BY the govern.
ment inquiry, arose from the taking over Of the canteen

why this association, like some others, did not give
things away without charge. But as a matter Of fact. il
would have taken ten times as much money as was

q free basis.

If Theodore Roosevelt had no other distinction, the
continuous peace that has followed in The coal regions

The great anthracite strike is still remembered, but what
is not 50 generally known is the unrest, frequently eN
pressing itself in smaller strikes. and the individual dis.
content Of mine workers. that preceded the situation Of
1902 and has since been practically eliminated by the
permanent board Of Cancellation for which President
Roosevelt was responsible. His action All the time not
