EEK-END THOUGHTS.

Each of us owes more to other peo-
pies than they will ever owe to U.S.
Every beautiful thought, every gem
erous act. every noble feeling that we
send out, has its bearing on the I'M
folding goodness of the world Even
as the very flowers that bend and
meet, in sweetening others, grow more
sweet"
We can never hurt others quite as
much as we hurt ourselves in hurting
them.
When you have a thrilling impulse
to do a worth while thing, do il at
once. To do so. is to build about you
the atmosphere of an inspired life.
The humanest thing we do is to
make mistakes. But they never stay
around long If we look them straight
in the face-and learn how to walk
away from them.

CAPPER AND STRIKES.

Senator Arthur Capper. according
to his own newspaper. has been elect
ed president OF an organization that
denounces strikes and opposes govern
ment ownership of railroads.
Furthermore. the senator has en-
dorsed without reservation the full
program of this organization-the In
ternational Farm Congress-and has
laid before the people his ideas and
future policy along these lines.
The senator. once upon a time, came
out for the League of Nations, and
lately has been rather indicating that
he was hunting a soft place to alight
in case the league fell thru
1t will be interesting to note what
action he will take hereafter in up
holding his attitude against labor
walkouts and the government owner
ship of railroads.
Just as a matter OF record. the In
ternational Farm Congress took the
following action:
% Demands legislative action to nd
just the difference in prices between
producer and consumer.
(2) Condemns the growing tendency
toward idleness among all classes of
people
(s) Opposes government ownership of
railroads.
90 Views with apprehension and dis
favor the turbulent conditions exist
ing. particularly in the ranks Of
organized labor.
90 Expresses the idea that the OBJ
legation of labor to society Is not less
than that OF the farmer.
In other words the senator takes a
direct slap at strikes of organized la
Dor and deplores conditions existing in
the ranks of the unions.
The above deductions and quota
senator's own newspaper. which car
ried a front page article to this effect
and which. as a seal of trust. used the
senator's photograph.
This is the first time Senator Capper
has taken such a staunch stand in la
Dor matters.
Now we will turn over few pages
and read what II has to say editor
tally.
Despite the senator's view with
alarm" over the labor question we
find an editorial reading:
MANY people are asking for states
mAnship adequate to settle this labor
question. They will ask in vain. .
II will not be settled definitely today
or tomorrow or by this generation.
Those who are alarmed about
the labor question would do better
n consider that on large issues such
as those relating to industrialism
there is virtue in patience. :"
In other words. Mr.. Senator, don't
be alarmed-just be patient. This is
what you are telling yourself editor
tally.
To continue the editorial:
"Tbe public is unduly alarmed by
strikes when great strikes are less
frequent than 20 years ago and less
bitter when they occur. The public
has not credited organized labor with
the services II has just rendered 10
capital and the security Of property
not only at home, but abroad. . -
Here We find the senator denounc-
ing and bewaillng the strikes on one
page and smoothing over their effects
on another.
For a man in public office. Senator
Capper has adopted an unusually
shrewd policy of filling his publica-
tions with all sides of national ques-
lions and allowing the voters to pick
out the variety they approve and revel
in IT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-The res
ignation of DR.. H. A. Garfield as
fuel administrator, rendered last
night, was forwarded to President
Wilson this morning by Secretary Tu-
multy.
"Of course it will be accepted" it
was said at the White House.

tor, handled recently through DR..

Garfield's authority will be continued

said. This does not necessarily mean
that Mr.. Hines will be made fuel ad-
ministrator in DR.. Garfields place, it
was added
I'VE are all sorry that DR. Garfield
feels as he does-he's done a fine JOB

The view at the White House is
that DR.. Garfield was not ignored in

ment said was interfered with by

ABANDON FIGHT

Emma Goldman Makes Plea to
Garry Food With Her
Rv The Associated Press.

New York, Dec. 12.--Counsel for
Emma Goldman evidently has aban-
doned hope of preventing her depor-
tation, before going to Ellis Island
today to ask her if she cared to con-
tinue the fight in view of the stay of
one week granted by the Supreme
Court. he telegraphed the Depart
ment of Labor asking If she and Alex
ander Berkman might carry food
with them when they are deported to
soviet Russia and that they be per-
mitted special privileges for the short
time they have to remain.
Officials at the island professed to-
day to know of no plans for immediate
deportation of Berkman, whose ap-
peal the Supreme Court refused to
consider.
Scores of prominent New York
women modified in lower Broadway
of Wall street in protest against the
United States governments refusal to
issue clearance papers to vessels for
Russian ports.
The American Women's Emergency
Committee, which organized this and
one previous demonstration, main
tains that the governments refusal to
clear ships is causing the death of
thousands of children in Russia.
Mrs Frank A. Vanderlip is raising
a fund of 100000 to charter q ship
which will be stocked with food, med
icines, toys and clothing for Russia.
1t Is planned to have the vessel sail
from New York on Christmas Day If
clearance papers can be obtained.
