Six games have been played in the
opening week of the pool tournament on
the odd Fellows tables, Captain Will
liamson's team leads Captain Burnham's
men by 46 points, the scores standing 272
to 226. The closest game of the week
was that played by l.. II. Prefontaine
and II. II. Wentworth, the latter who is
a member of the Burnham contingent,
winning by one point.
1t is the plan of the committee in
charge of the tournament to have six
games played each week and the sched-
ue has been nearly completed on this
basis.

FIND BOGUS $50 BILLS.
Raised From 81 And Circulated Around
CIaremOnt.

CLAREMONT. y. H. Nov. G.-Fake
500 bills are circulating in this town.
The Claremont National bank changed
one of them but caught the second one
before payment had been allowed. The
first was offered for deposit and got by.
The second came along the same chan
mel, but was caught and an investiga-
ton was begun.
The first bill was traced it is believed.
to a farmer who took it in payment for
vegetables and then passed it along in
ordinary trade. The second has been
traced back to two different parties and
further investigation is going on.
The biz. an ordinary 50 denomination,
easily passed for a $40 as cypher had
been scratched alongside Of the figure ,.
The word two on the face of the bill
was also scratched out and printed in
pencil was the word twenty. This was
glaring defective piece of work and
plainly noticeable. On one of the bills
the word two dollars on the back was
not changed; on the other it was obit-
Grated by the use Of a green cray0n.
The cypkers are much smaller than the
figures, but in quick counting the bill
would pass easily. The work on both
bills appear to be by the same hand.

Limiting the rounds to a maximum of
fifteen or a minimum of ten is proof
positive that the promoters plan to stage
the contest in some state where boxing
is legalized, with the chances largely fay-

POLL TAXES
New Orleans, Dec. II. 1920.

New Orleans, Dec. II, 1929.
Editor of the New Orleans States:
Dear Sir-While the attorney gene
raj has given an opinion that women
voting in Louisiana are not liable for
poll taxes until the constitution has
been changed, in this I think he is in
error, but whether ne is or not the
matter is of sufficient doubt and inn
portance for it to be resolved in favor
of the payment of the poll tax, and be-
sides as women have been the most ar
dent supporters of the public schools
it is hardly to be supposed that they
will refuse or neglect to pay the one
dollar poll tax when such dollars go 70
the public schools; now that they have
the right to pay the poll taxes even
though they might not be obliged to do
so they all ought to do it to help the
public schools.
Besides this, wha It's the use of TAX

wrecked by the bad temper or i'll Judg-
ment of employees on whom the policy
was dependent for its success. 1t was
not the employer who created the I'M
fair conditions, it was the employees.
The relations between men in the
shop are often oppressive, more de
structiye of freedom and happiness in
work. than are the relations between
the management and the operative
forces.
-EJntil we begin to think Of each 9TH
er in our total relations as human
beings, and get rid of the notion that
the basis of our relations are coldly
economic instead of warmly human,
there is bound to be inner friction.
And it is this inner friction that &C
counts for most of the anxiety and
unhappiness of our everyday life.
It is time to utter warning word
both to employers and employees who
consider themselves opposing forces,
and who take advantage of economic"
changes to push the fight one against
the other.
The highest human privilege is to
learn. We are learning now that
what we did last spring when jobs
were plentiful was wrong. Whenever
we do anything wrong. Nature holds
court and assesses damages. Work
men said; 1--WE have got. the bosses
where we want them;" they quit on
any pretext; per capita production
decreased. We should have learn
ed something for the consequences
were not long in coming. But no;
we now hear the same thing from
some employers: "The tide is turn
ed: the workmen will have to come
to our terms" This is not getting
even;" it is doubling the evil. Why
match one folly by another? Natur-
al law will as quickly penalize So
ciety for the uhwise employer as for
the unwise employee. There are no
classes" there is only human So
ciety. We prosper or suffer together.
Let us be wise.
Just let your mind pass back to con-
d1tions in the United States at the be-
ginning of the year. Labor was scar
ce then. Men threw up their jobs on
the slightest pretext because they
knew they could have their choice of
five or six other jobs. There was
competitive bidding for men among
some of the industries. Changes were
so frequent and the per capita pro-
dAction sIumped so seriously, that
anyone who Knew anything at all
knew that the time would inevitably
come when those things would have
to be paid for.
AT that time, those who nurture the
idea of industrial war" is the normal
condition between employer and en-
ploye were rather jubilant because
they had the upper hand Their tone
was: Now we have got the bosses
where they have got to come to US;
we can do with them what we like"
1t was not wise, it was not hui
name; it was industrially suicidal.
Worst of all, it revealed in flash
how little we really know about our

ing the chance Of losing their votes in
1921 and 1922, because their poll taxes
for 1920 have not been paid? When
the fifteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States was adopt
ed the supreme court of the United
States decided that in effect it strikes
the word white" out of every cOnsti-
tuition and law provision of every
state in relation to suffrage, including
the right to vote and the RICH ito hold
office, and as the words of the nine
teenth amendment are similar the re-
suit will be the same as to effecting
women, who are given the right to
vote and with which right must go the
obligations and one Of the obligations
is the paymnt of tn poll taxs.
am surprised that so few women
have paid their poll taxes in 1920 and
l certainly advise all to pay some with
out further delay
The coming constitutional cOnven-
ton if one is held may exempt women
from poll taxes or may regulate how
they should be paid; but it is incon-
ceivable that it was the intention of
the trainers of our government to have
a privileged class of voters as would
be the case with women if they are al
lowed to vote n1921 without the pay

relations one with another.
The time came when for all this
carelessness everybody had to pay.
And everybody is paying a little bit
now. You cannot fling broadcast and
expect the barrel to hold out for the
baking and you cannot fling time and
material wages away and expect BUSH
ness to go on supporting that kind
of thing. Indeed, society itself can
not support that system of things,
and that is where the day of judg-
ment dawns for such things-in So
ciety itself.
But now what do we see? Why, we
see certain employers adopting pre-
cisely the same attitude and showing
precisely the same temper as char
actemzed the thoughtless workmen
earlier in the year. We see and hear
signs of a thought like this: THE
tide has turned; it is our innings
now; we have got the workers where
they will have to meet our terms"
1t only needs to be stated thus bad
ly to enable everyone to seeA- how
wrong it all is.
1t is a very great mistake and it
only goes to show how foolish we all
are together.
There is no such thing as getting
even" in this wa Nobody ever
gets even" anyway; only nature and
the moral law have control Of the
evening up I. ocoss, ard this process
arises because ali Of us in our human
relations have gone out of line.
When you try to even the score"
you only double it. The old law of
IAN eye for an eye, and atooth for a
tooth" meant, at the very best, two
eyes instead of one two teeth instead
of one doubling the evil instead Of
curing it.
The situation seems to be that, be-
cause Of human folly in months past,
NATURAL law is now operating to bring
matters back into equilibrium. But if,
on account of this process another
portion of the industrial organization
undertakes to have its little fling too,
then it only means that natural law
will have to come back again and, by
another painful operation, restore the
damage done by the second folly.
All of these matters are within hui
man control From the war and its
antecedents. to all the consequences
thereof nothing has been inevitable in
the absolute sense; all has originated
in the human will unwisely directed.
If now human will and wisdom were
directed in cooperation with the law
of right relations, not only would the
restorative process be comparatively
brief, but there would be no relapses.
If any party gets the idea that now
is its innings, then another party will
strive hard for its innings again, and
the consequence will be that the law
of right relations will be constantly
hating, checking and penahzing US.
We are free to go as far as we like,
but we are foolish to use that freedom
to our own hurt or othe hurt of So
ciety at large. And free as we are,
we are absolutely bound by the law
