LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

You can be acquainted with a girl for years. But a sure way to discover that you do not know her is to marry her. No matter how stingy a man may be he is always willing to help you to the
 extent of telling you how to run your business. Every married man believes that he has to waste a whole month of time each
 year hunting for something his wife has put away when she was cleaning up. One of the easiest ways for a girl to
 snare fellow is to get him to tell her all about a lot of things that she knows more about than he does. The old-fashioned woman who. when the children told lies, used to wash their
 mouths with soap and water, now has a married daughter who is the champion liar of the neighborhood. We are fair-to-m -middling prophet. And we fear that Ben Tillman's famous state I ment, ITO HI with the constitution, '' will be repeated many times and oft
 after this nation goes dry. Another bird we would like to locate is the fashioned ten-twenty- thirty | actor who used to yodle on the stage. Most of the exclusive propositions that are sent out in printed circular letters seem to be intended exclusively for the
 waste basket.
 The reason we know that Awwoman has only one servant is the way she talks like | she had a doZen.v

 has one.

World Almanac and Its War Record

7TaHE World Almanac and Encyclo- I J pedia for 1919, as a compen- dium of knowledge, is of inestimable value. It is no bulkier than former editions, but if some of the statistical features usually included are lacking,
 the public is nevertheless the gainer.
 Everybody is interested in the rec ord of the war. This comes above all
 things else and the World Almanac
 gives it with completeness in "handy form"

AN AMAZING CHARGE

From the Chicago News
 At meeting of league interested in problems of reconstruction, Basil NJ dent Taft of the war labor board, has preferred the charge that fin many cases employers have hired operatives from detective agencies for the specific purpose of preaching bolshevism and l. w. w. ideas among workmen, and in stigating acts of sabotage and violence, the object being to bring discredit upon law abiding union labor. This practice, according to MT. Manly, has been so widespread that he is almost afraid to expose it.
 Despite Mir Manly's fears the charge should be thoroughly investigated by the department of justice or by Congress. The National Chamber of Commerce ought to take a hand in the investigation If many employers" committed the crime or hiring men to preach bolshevism and lawless violence, some of them ceretainly must be known to agents of the govern ment. These employers should be named and questioned. Grand juries should make suitable reports on the matter
 If. notwithstanding MT. Manly's posi- tive statements, the whole amazing charge rests on gossip and suspicion, that fact should be established to the satis- faction of the public, and MT Manly should be censured for repeating such gossip and hearsay nonsense
 Surely the employers of the country cannot permit so grave an accusation to so unchallenged. Bolshevism is a real and serious menace, and to play with it, explosives.

Will Attend Inauguration

"A friend of mine jocularly asked me if was going to camp down at Mont gomery, now that the legislature was in session." said John D. McNeel, but 1 replied that I had absolutely no business at the capital with either the house or the senate, that my job with Uncle Sam made me immune from meddling in state of national politics.
 Ut is true that l will run down for in- auguration week, but my visit will be social and not political. If fellow ever played the game there are those who will always look on him as ready to sit in every political jackpot which is opened when the lawmakers are in session.

"I keep in close touch with the big eastern dailies and I make it rule to read the editorial pages" said Herman B. Litton, and for several years have been noting the editorial page of The Age-Herald and have been particularly struck with the short and snappy para graphs.

First Call on Jobs

"I am back in Birmingham after hav- ing put in several years in Washing ton as one of the police guards around the White House." said "Jim" Marshall, and somehow I feel more at home here in the Magic City than anywhere else. l was told that a fellow could get a job without any throuble, but on inves- tgation I find that hundreds of returned soldiers are arriving and re-entering their old places. Now I think this eminently correct. If they gave them up to serve Uncle Sam they ought to have the first call on them when they come home"

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 1N R. KARL LIEBKNECHT and Rosa
 JO Luxemburg are dead-killed at the G hands of a mob. As leader and chief lieutenant of the Spartacus group of radicals in Berlin, they were untiring in their efforts to take advantage of the social unrest and chaotic conditions which followed in the wake of the sign ing of the armistice. By the making of impossible promises and by the use of any and every method against constituted authority, or at least the best semblancs
 of authority existing in the German
 capital, they were able to secure a pow
 erful following.
 Then came the inevitable period of reckoning. The promised period of com
 munism and the sweeping aside of all individual and separate property rights failed to materialze. In place of cure
 for social unrest followed reign of ter
 TOT. The house of radical socialistic and
 anarchistic principles, with its guaran-
 tee for the immediate cure of all public
 and private ills being builded upon the
 sand and without foundation, fell before
 the first storm.
 One of the laws of natural physics is
 that to every action there is an equal and corresponding reaction. There is a Biblical axiom which as- sures those who SOW the wind shall reap the whirlwind.
 The deaths of Liebknecht and his chief lieutenant were part of the inevitable re- action promised by natural laws, and they also reaped the whirlwind in keep ing with the scriptural teachings. The lesson is not without meaning for any other nation or community SunerlnS

LIEBKNECHTS FINISH

from a period of unrest. There is a mob psychology which reckons only with the immediate present, although it promises everything in the way of roseate future. unhampered by the evils of selfishness and materialism. Radical so- cialism and the germs of bolshevism are part of the aftermath of the armistice and the direct result of Germany's worldwide propaganda campaign for the purpose of starting strife among the ai
 lied nations and neutral countries.
 It is well to remember that the sign
 ing of the armistice, while it meant the cessation of hostiities, did not mean the end of the war The present social un' rest following the sudden cessation of military operations is as much part
 of the war waged against the central powers as was the charge at Chateau
 Thierry. Remedies for tidng over this present readjustment period are under way. They do not promise instant allevi- ation of all human ills, as do the dis ciples of bolshevism, but they are based on long experience and backed by the American government, which was found ed on the principles of freedom. They are not alone worth waiting for, but deserve support which so quickly brought the military operations to an end With such support the return to normal con- d;tions will follow speedily and cer- tanly.
 As for those who promise everything and perform nothing the end is certain destruction. This is history in keeping with the immutahle laws of the universe and practically proved by the swift finish which followed the teachings of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg.
