Much comment was aroused by
the sudden outburst Of violence and
hoodlumism that followed the walk
out. "Over night a great cofanlu-
nifty has slipped back centuries into
the Middle Ages, where every man
must protect his own life and his
own property by his unaided efforts"

scarcely less outspoken in compar-
ing the Boston situation to what
happened at Seattle:
Flight 1t, Boston,"
I'VE hope Boston will realize it's re-
sponsibility. To Mayor Peters fate has
brought the duty and the opportunity
Of stopping at its birth in the United
States a campaign to deprive the ordi-
nary citizen OF the protection he pays
TOR, by forcing the unionizaton Of the
police forces. The issue must be met
and fought out. The place to fight it
IS the place where it first shows its
head. 1t must be killed That is what
Mayor Ole Hanson did with Bolshevism
and the general strike; that is what
ice unionism and the general strike
LET Boston take cool grip on its
courage and go through with it. The
average American, as sick of labor
union tyranny as of that of rich prof
iteers, will back Mayor Peters to the
end.
Fight it, Boston,"
The whole question Of unlonism
among public employees is much dis
cussed, and here, also, there is very
general agreement, first, that police
men should be permitted to organ
ize, and, second, that they should
not be permitted to affiliate with
other labor organizations. The
question of the right to organize
waSnot at issue in Boston, it is held
by "The indianapolis News:
There is no question of unionism in
volvcd, or Of the right Of public en-
ployes to organize for the purpose Of
administering pension funds or for
mutual instruction and entertainment.
Public employees may even organize for
the purpose Of obtaining salary in
creases by reasonable means, or for
purposes calculated to stimulate pride
in their work and satisfaction with the
scale OF living that it permits
utilization
The same point is made by 1.-The
St. Louis Globe-Democrat" and a
sharp distinction drawn between the
right to organize and the right to
affiliate with other unions:
"But the primary question at issue
in Boston and Washington is the
utilization of the police with the labor
unions. 1t is no aspersion on the
labor unions to say that they are or
ganized for the advancement of their
own interest, in itself laudable pur-
pose. But they cannot deny that in
the effort to accomplish their purposes
they often come into conflict with the
law. Afiliation of the police with the
labor unions would create a partner
ship Of interest and would put every
city where it was permitted under
class control. Even if the labor
| unions in cooperation with the police
were to exercse benevolent despot-
ism it would be despotism none the
less, an oligalehy as obnoxious to
American principles and ideals as the
autocracy of Prussia"
In Washington the question of
utilization is still in allegiance, pend
ing the industrial conference called
by the President. Every opinion
thus far expressed agrees with the

FLIGHT NOT PRINCES FIRST
Former Heir to German Throne
Jumped From Window to Escape
Oncoming French.

The former crown prince of Germany
never took unnecessary chances. His
flight from his radieal-swept father
land" is in keeping with traits he eN-
hibfted to the French during many in
cidents of the great war. In a letter
received at Chicago from Sergt. Ralph
Sinclair of the mobile ordnance repair
division, veteran of Chateau Thierry,
the one-time heir to the German crown
is described as jumping from a window
to fee from the oncOming French.
The story was told Sergeant Sin
clair by the mistress CT a French
chateau near an American camp.
cit was during the first German drive
in 1914" Sergeant Sinclair wrote,
when they swept down into France
in the full flower of their military
power. She saw the tired Poilus fall
back, worn out with nine days of cease
less fighting to stem that apparently
irresistible army. Then she saw the
great German war machine roll on.
Some of the German high command
came to her chateau, and then a re-
splendent figure on horseback. He
swung an emerald-headed swagger-
stick and bore himself with an air Of
conscious superiority-the crown
prince.
HE informed the lady of the cha
teau that on the morrow his troops
would be in Paris. But SIX miles back
the tired Poilus had halted and fought
the first battle OF the Marine. And
quite suddenly and Unexpectedly the

back-with them the resplendent
crown prince, who at the first news Of
defeat jumped from the window Of a
neighboring chateau where he was
staying and fed"

What He Wanted to Saw.

General Biddle said at a London
garden party:
''The doughboy in France has a lot
of trouble with the French language.
A doughboy sat on a bench in the
Tuileries gardens one day and
thumbed a French phrase book discon-
tentedly.
""This here book he grow1ed, don't

1t tells you how to say the uncle Of
your mother is sixty-five years old, or
the sister of your wife has bought a
COW, or the umbrella of your neighbor
is in the attic, but I don't want to say
nothing Of that kind.
What I'm after said the dough-
boy, is a book that tells you how to

HOW WOMEN HAVE ADVANCED
interesting Now to Recall Their
Status in Great Britain Less
Than Century Ago.

Should women be whipped?
Just a century ago wiseacres, poll
ticians and noble lords of Great Brit
ain were debating the point. 1t was
quite a new idea to worry about what
was happening to women, but after
some discussion it was decided that
they ought not to be whipped-that
the best way to handle them was on
the "gentle-but-frm" method-and in
1920 the wiseacres, politicians and
noble lords passed a bill known as
the whipping act, prohibiting the cor
poral punishment of women.
Having made this exertiOn on wOm-
ems behalf they returned to the dis
cussion of things which interested
them.
Fifty years passed. The seed which
had been planted in 1920 began to
take root in 1870, and the question of
special legislation for women again
bobbed up. This time an act was
passed allowing women to be posses
unanimous document known as the
married women's property act
Those two acts, small in themselves,
were of great portent to women They
we're the first admission that women
had any rights or legal status.
In the last fifty years women have
come to the foreground in leaps and
bounds. BY the Interpretation act Of
1889 the government went so far rs
to allow that words in any act of
parliament passed after 1870 imputine

TAKE PRIDE IN UMBRELLAS
Indo-chinese Workers in France Never
Fail to Carry Them on Sundays,
Rain or Shine.

Riding along through France on
Sunday in these times, one is reason
ably certain to meet many Cinnamon
under umbrellas.
They mostly hail from IBdo-China.
The French imported them by thou
sands for service in the labor battal-
ions behind the lines. During the
week, dressed in nOndescript mixtures
Of native garb and cast-of uniforms,
they work at road -mending or at
ditch digging or at truck loading jobs.
On Sundays they dress themselves
up in their best clothes and stroll
about the countryside. And, rain or
shine, each one brings along with
him his treasured umbrella and carries
It unfurled above his proud head. 1t
never Is a Chinese umbrella, either,
but invariably cheap black affair Of
local manufacture.
Go into one of the barracks where
these yellow men are housed, and at
the head of each bunk there hangs a
black umbrella, which the owner
guards as his most darling possession.
If he dies I suppose 1t is buried with
him.
Nobody knows why every Sunday
the Chinaman sports an umbrella, IN
less it be that in his Oriental mind he
has figured it out that possession OF
such a thing stamps him as person
OF travel and culture. who, like any
true cosmopolitan, is DESTROYS of con-
forming to the custom of the country
to which he has been transported. A
Frenchman, if careless, may leave his
umbrella behind when he goes forth
for promenade; Chinaman never
does.-Irvin S. Cobb in Saturday Eve

Eyes Had to Be Blue

Blue-eyed babies always claim n pre-
ponderance of admirers. The fact has
just again been emphasized-this time
at Hampstead, England. 1t was an
nounced in the press that the town Of
f1cials had a "bonny blue-eyed baby"
for adoption, and straightway $50
would-be adopters wrote to secure it.
Unfortunately it was found that the
infants eyes had been wrongly de-
scribed. The eyes were not blue, after
all, and when they heard of this some
of the ladies withdrew their offers.

Whenee the Red in Elans

The actual defenders of the red flag
do not know or have forgotten that
red was formerly the color of the
church militant, and also of royalty IN
til the epoch when Henry VI, king of
England, took the title of king of
France. Then red came to be consid-
cred as an inimicai color In France
and was replaced by white, which in
its turn was given up by the English.
The red flag was displayed by the
Catholic troops OF Charles TX and
Henry III, while the flags of the Prot
estants were white.

The Fragrant Weed.

The use of tobacco was first discov-
cred in America when Columbus in
1892, sent his first party to explore
the island of Cuba. It was first OBJ
served that these herbs were burned
and carried by the natives to perfume
themselves. It was later discovered
that these herbs were also used for
chewing, and later as America was
opened up and explored, it was obsery-
ed that they were smoked in large
quantities.
