Unwise Leadership.

The causeVf union labor is seriously dam
aged by such utterances as those made by John
walker. labor leader and coal miner chief. in q
speech at Joliet Wednesday night, when he
dened the federal government to stop the coal
strike. declaring that "the government was
acting pretty ugly" and that "the strikers, both
in the steel mills and coal industry, would
lick hell out Of them"
The frequent assertion that the labor lead
ers do not truly interpret and represent Ameri-
can labor seems to be finding proof in deeds
in these trying times in our industrial life.
II the public did not know that the great ma
jority Of union labor in this country are loyal
Americans and do not share the same spirit az
John walker, labor would soon find itself
without outside support.

mysterious and uncharted Mimosa

II was not an easy task and 1t
strained his resources to reach the
presumed vicinity Of the old cap
tain's Whereabouts and hire others
to assist him to his quest.
Vance was greeted by half

bearing spears. clubs and darts.
They were about to attack him
when their attention was focused
on his carmine- bedaubed nose. He
was led to a rude habitation and
there, seated on a broad dias, more
rubicund than ever, his nasal APP

was Captain Holcomb.

captain had been able to navigate
the dismantled vessel into a cove
at an unfrequented part of Mimosa
island.
"She's here now" said the CAP
tain, but I have 80 played on the
superstitious fears Of my subjects
that they believe she is haunted,
for when they first discovered me I
played some tricks on them with
fireworks, q victrola and an cleo
trio battery which impressed them
that I was a sort Of wizsard. They
made me their king. l told them
OF the coming of my red-nosed rel
ative and they believe red noses to
be distinctive mark Of great dig
nifty and power. They will never
let me go willingly and my escape
and the conveyance Of the Defi-
ance to some friendly port il now
to be your task"
Vance received explicit orders
from the captain and rowed away
that night. At the settlement he
engaged a steam launch to proceed
back to the island after dark. All
due preparations were made for
towing the whaler to a safe port
the following evening.
And upon that occasion, claim
ing that he wished to exercise the
haunted spirits, the captain was
allowed to visit the cove alone. BY
midnight the old ship was free Of
the island and two months later
the ex-king and Vance were vel
coined home By pretty Rhoda, with

Trouble, like hre. has habit Of spreading
when allowed to take its course. A firm hand
to rsytrain Austria in the summer Of 1914
would have averted the world war. and. 30 II
has bssn and win be with most other struggles
between nations.
Subject to the red tape which The senate
reservation imposes America would not be Of
Much use as IN international policeman. It
may be that the associated countries will be
willing to do the heavy end Of the work in
the League Of Nations and feel amply COM
pensated merely by the pleasure Of our com
pany. In that case all well and good. II the
senate can get the United States under the
protecting wing Of the league without agree
ing to give anything in return that is not SO
much our concern as that Of the others join
ing in the compact
Something tells Us, however, that the SEN
ate will have trouble putting it over. That is
the view Of the president, and he ds in better
position than any senator to Judge how closely
the bargain can be driven.
OF course 1t makes good talking point
with the home folks to point out how the
treaty has been "Americanised" and no talk
ing point ever gets past the senate nowadays.
And people, too, always will be found capable
of believing 1t possible to get something for
nothing.
The president once remarked that article
10 was the heart Of the treaty" That was
the cue for the opposition to center its fight
on this particular clause. 1t was determined
to "show" Mr.. Wilson at some point along the
line and the way it struck at this bsit was a
caution. Whether there was a hook inside
the worm only the president and perhaps a
few Of his closest advisers know.
