Good wives are better conservators
of the public peace and morality than
policemen, prison statutes, and all the
terrors of the law. Let a man be thus
home anchored, and have an interest
in house and lot, and except he is
radically bad, he becomes a self-ap-
pointed guardian of the peace and of
public morals.

A man who sits shrunk up and
worthless in little place, because he
thinks it is not worth while to grow
enough to fill that, has little prospect

must do something besides play, tho
that may be innocent in itself.

Attorney General Palmer's Statement
Placing Blame For Strike on Radi-

Overland Trains Moving In West.
Rx Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Railroad officials whose lines
have been crippled by the un-
authorized strikes OF employees
waited today for the big break in
the strike ranks which they hoped
would be produced by Attorney
General PaImer's announcement
that the strike leadership had
been traced to radical quarters.
Mr.. Palmer's announcement that
William z. Foster. radical strike
leader in the steel disorders. was
back Of the movement, and that
the strike object was the "one
big union" was expected to in
duce many of the men to return.
Hope that the Palmer state
ment would break the back OF
the strike did not deter railroad
officials from making every ef-
fort to operate lines by volun-
teers and loyal employees.
Conditions In the west were
declared to be returning to nor
NAL, and increases In freight and
passenger service were noted in
the east.
The first sign OF the willingness
of eastern strikers to negotiate
came last night when Edward
McHugh, chairman OF the strike
committee, sent messages to the
railroad labor board saying the
men would welcome an opportun-
ity to Jay differences before the
board. This ray OF hope was dim
med, however, by his assertion
that the men would not return TO
work pending an agreement or
hearing.
