TINE VEIL or ALL SAINTS DAY.

| Tonight is Halloween, the vigil OF
all saints day. when ghosts are sup
posed 10 be abroad in the land, and
| the youngsters roam about with jack
olanterns. tick-tacSs, and cans equip
ped with resined strings, TO brighten
their elders and annoy those whose
homes know not the joys Of children.
Altho Of origin in the misty past,
Halloween has become an American
institution. The present generation Of
youngsters has been educated TO OBJ
serve the night with more considera-
ton OF the rights Of others than did
their fathers before them. True. there
are needless boys today, but not in the
numbers that roarned the streets
generation ago, and necessitated each
year the doubling or trebling of police
force. In order to curb the acts Of
vandalism. To- .a. 80.
A modern Halloween has been ar
ranged in Fort Worth, Tex. and is said
TO be popular. There the evening is
observed with civic celebration In
whion pageant is shown. depicting
events in American history. The OBJ
servance so interests the youth of the
city that no thought is turned to de-
struction OF property.
While in the north We have not
reached the community observance Of
Halloween, we teach in our homes
each year the necessity Of making Hal
iowe'en an evening of innocent pastime
rather than one in which property must
inclined to become tnoughtless and
turn their attention to acts Of deviitry
tina, they would not think Of doing any
other night in the year. Boys so in
clined should bear in mind this Hal
lowe'en. above all others, when prices
Of building and repairs are SO much
higher than they ever were before,
that any little act on their part which
would necessitate repairs being made
for property damaged in Halloween
pranks, means dollars to the owner
where cents were involved'a few years
ago. Innocent amusement Is all right,
but damage OF property is all wrong.
Boys, let's make this Halloween the
kind that you would want at your ewii
home, If your fathers were TO foot the

TRIES TO SAVE BOOZE
Waterloo Conr,erJ

lNAlcTiOo SOuTleTI
The precise motive which prompted
the president to veto the prohibition
enforcement proposition may never be
known. but the general public will be
inclined to take the view that the eS-
ecutive must have scented serious
danger TO the republic in permitting
the measure to remain operative or
that very considerable pressure must
have been brought to bear upon him.
Considering that Mr.. Wilson's cond.-
ton Sunday was such that a visit OF
a cabinet officer was not permitted,
and that propped UP in bed and with
trembling hand he affixed his signiturc
to the veto. Mr.. WILSON, must have
been made to- believe esthat droth
acted as menace TO the nation. s.
However. there is one most refresh
ing aspect of the affair. and that is the
swift and impressive manner In which
the house, which represents the whole
people, put it's official kibosh on the
mo" OF the president. Like a game of
horseshoes. it's the hast veto that
counts and the house did no dallying
in registering its decision There was
no politics in the action Of the house;
democrats ard republicans fell over
themselves TO record an Overwhelming
protes. against the surprising action
of Mr.. Wilson. What the. senate will
do. remains TO be seen. and its veto is
of course necessary to make effective
the vote of the house but 1t seems
probable the necessary two-thirds
majority to override the veto win be
found in the upper house. Even Mr..
Wilson'S staunchest supporters admit
he does some strange and unaccount-
able things.

HARD ROUGH WORK

II has been customary in this coun-
try in the past to make the hard work.

most unpleasant work, and often the
most dangerous work, the work that
was not reworded as well as the light

dangerous work. --
The work that was, rough and dan
serous was left. to the immigrant, and
he stepped out Of It as soon as he
could and made room for other i'm
migrants. And thus. in short time
we came to depend upon the foreign
laborer. II WAS understood that the
American would not do that kind OF
work.

" MINERS WORKED FULL TIMED

Inc PUBIC, winch g canning the
coal miners just now. hoping that the
army will be sent TO the mines when
the strike is on. and which is about
to suffer an acute fuel shortage, Is
partly to blame for the strike. The
president Of the coal miners union ex-
plains that one Of the reasons for de-
handing such high wages for coal
miners and q six hour day Is that min
ers now are employed only part Of the
time. People win not buy coal the
year around, but insist on waiting IN
til the winter Is on The result il a
seasonable demand which rushes the
mines in the winter and lays off min
ers in the spring.
Coal miners as class can't stand
prosperity. Wages are 80 high now
that they have a habit Of laying off
even in the rush season to spend what
they have earned, but the industry
would unquesdonablr be composed in
most of its difficulties, and miners
could be satisfied with lower wages. II
they could mine the year around.
Granting that the miners asked IN
reasonable demands of the operators
last September. when the strike was
threatened If the demands were not
met, would the demands have been
as unreasonable If the miners were as
sured Of a years steady work? It Is
human to be better satisfied with
steady work than to know that in or
der to get along for an entire year one
must depend upon the income from
only part of a years labor. 1t is nat
ural for labor thus employed to want a
higher wage for those eight or nine
months work, to make up for the time
that must be'idle.
With this situation existing, at least
so far as the, idle time OF the miners
is concerned, the public could do a
great deal toward supplying remedy.

NOT CONVINCING.
KDas Moires Tribune

President Wilson is not very con-
vinctng when he urges upon the Cn"l
miners that the war Is still on :" J
that stoppage Of mining will be =
patriotic If not reasonable, and in the
same breath says to the congress that
the war is over and there is no further
occasion to enforce war time prohioi-
ton.
The president was right IN the first
instance and he should have had
clearness Of vision enough to see that
now If ever there Is need not only OF
keeping war time prohibition alive. but
of enforcing # to the letter.
Even II we consider the original
claim for war time prohibition, namely
that grain should be Conserved. the
claim can still be- made with effect,
for never probably was the world
shorter Of actual food than 1t Is today.
II Europe can get thru the winter
without facing starvation 1t will be
only because we are able to econoMsZe
in consumption here al home.
All OF these things should have i'm
pressed the president. and that es-
pecially since in barely. two months
the Constitutional amendment will
take the place OF the war time emer-
gency act. and then there will be no
question Of the law Of the land.
That the house Of representatives
should have instantly and without
debate overruled presidential veto
and that the senate is preparing Tor
like speedy action ought to warn the
president that these are not times to
deal with great matters in a technical
way. The president should have taken
the large view.

In the cold words OF the report OF

record:
We found in one OF the upper

the floor itself"
There is a tragedy in each syllable.
Those marks were not high up, as
where men had fought, but low down
and on the floor, as il unaTmed crea-
lures had cToUched TO avoid their
fate. The bloodstains from the floor
have disappeared. but the judicial in

On the same night that they de-

As Serge was beng pushed toward

the latter would ignite the dynamite
