Anachronism In Stamp.


 An interesting addition to the re- cent issues of British Colonial post age stamps is the new issue just put into circulation for the islands of St. Christopher and Nevis, forming part of the Leeward islands in the West h. dies. For many years both of these islands have had their individual is- sues of stamps, but recently they have been combined, the stamp being h. scribed St. Kitts-Nevis, the former name being the popular term for the island of St. Christopher.
 The new issue Is practically twice as large as the former stamps, bearing two distinctive designs in oval frames, one being the portrait of King George and the other that of Christopher Co., 1umbus on the deck of his ship gaz- ing through telescope at the distant land. It makes a picturesque an achronism in the history of philately, for the telescope was not invented for more than a century after the discov- cry of St. Christopher island by O. lumbus. The stamp is also the first in the combined issues for these two islands which has borne the portrait of King George.

UNCLE SAM MAKAES THE
PUNISHMENT FIT THE
CRIME

Uncle Sam makes the punish
ment fit the crime when he re-
fuses to give any hearing to the
outlaw railroad strikers. They
made themselves outlaws by their
own deliberate act in striking !;
thy struck out. They threw up
their jobs, deserted their posts,
joined the army Of loafers and
lived on those who were working
and producing. They were no
longer railroad hands or workers
Of any sort, but idlers and slack
ers. AS such they had no more
to do with the railroads than any
rank outsiders. AS long as a per-
son stays at work he has right
: to have his grievances heard and
remedied, but after striking he
IS no longer an employee and so
he has no claims whatever. Let
the punishment fit the crime; let
the strlekrs starve when they
try to starve the public. w. s..
Gilbert developed that doctrine
as a joke in the comic opera of
The Mlkado', but nothing more
logical and just was ever devised
Humanity now demands the max
mum OF production, and any
worker who forsakes his Job in
this crisis is an enemy Of human
lty. Ii the evil he does is hurled
back partly on his own head it Is
a wholesome lesson to him and to
others who would take the same
lawless and immoral course. Sup
pose the farmers should all 90 on
strike and refuse to produce
any foodstuffs! Then indeed the
railroad men, factory workers
and city dwellers who live fIbm
hand to mouth would learn the
wrong Of striking. And the
farmers have just as good a right
to strike as the workers in any
other line have TO strike is te
levy war on society, and society
Will have to foot a heavy hill a,
long as it permits such lawless
ness.
