BOLDLY SELFISH

The fundamental difference between men of the type of President Lewis and Secretary Green of the United Mine Work CTS and those radical labor leaders who are seeking to Oust the former from control ill the national union Is forcibly brot out by the views expressed by each side in Mon day $ session of the Mine Workers cOu- yentIOn Ill Columbus.
 The views of President Lewis and Na- uonaI Secretary Green are those of law abiding American citizens and their action such as was to have been expected from citizens of that type. On the other hand the radicals openly express their contempt oI the law, of the government and of the will o1 the majority of their fellow citizens
 They show themselves to be dema- gogues who are endeayorlng to secure for labor an unfair, illegal and ruinous control of American industry. They would msti- tute the rule of the minority, and very small one at that, for that of the majority
 The view of the laW-abiding citizen Is well expressed in the report made by the national officers which declares that the strike as a strike was short lived and under. the processes of the government degener- atcd into a contest between the government (which Is the peopIe) and group of work men. The refusal of the national officers to consider fighting the government needs no explanation, it is easily understood by loyal citizens. The result that would have fol lowed such a refusal Is also understood by President HoWat, of the Kansas district union, who when brOt up for contempt of court, ordered his men to return to work upon the agreement of the government to drop the proceedings.
 Cold selfishness is at the bottom of the radical attempt to gain control of the coal miners national organization. No consid- eration of public welfare enters into their calculations. They are themselves secret believers ill syndicalism, sabotage, and the political general strike-men who wish to overthrow the constitution and establish a new order of life, an order by which the control not only of the industries, but of every phase of public life would be in the hands of the leaders of labor, or they are controlled and guided by men of that type
 Should President Lewis and his follow CTS be busted and the radicals gain control of the United Mine Workers, it would be a disaster not only for the miners but for the entire country. It is to be hoped that sanity will prevail over the mad prompt 4 Il tion.

THE MEDICINAL VALUE OF CHEER
(By Dr. Frank Crane.)

And, above all things, try and keel cheerful"
 Such is the rule emphasized by being placed last in the list of recommendations issued by the officials 10 inform people how to avoid the flu.
 For the U. s. health service says this dread disease may come again.
 The last time it visited us it was par ticularly deadly. Pallida Mors accom-. panied it, and as in the days of Horace came "With equal footstep to the hall and hut"
 Now the authorities seek to forearm the public, and have issued leafIet telling what to do to resist the pest. And after the usual advice, to avoid crowds, sleer with windows open, bathe frequently, not ovcrcat, shun the common drinking cup and so on, the medicine men wind up with Keep Cheerful"
 Which brings to the front again the medicinal value of happiness.
 Which, also, is not new under the sun for King Solomon observed, "A merry heart docth good like medicine"
 The underlying truth herein is that the health of living bodies (and minds) is best preserved by offensive tactics, not by de- fensive
 Every body is a battlefield. Armies and fleets of germs, microbes, bacteria, ol whatever you have a mind to call the in finitesimal bugs and things that are sworn and leagued to take our life, continually as sail us.
 Even the healthiest of mouths and nostrils swarm with Black Hand OCOcci members of every Bolshevik bug union from cholera and diptheria to plain colds
 No matter how impregnable our Hin denburg line of care and cleanliness, they creep thru and kill
 That which really routs the attacking destroyers is Health, Vital Force, the core of which is Cheer.
 To be cheerful and unafraid is better than all carbolics and peroxides, also cheap CT.
 Fear, the nastiest of spies, creeps in and opens the gates for the storming mi crobian soldiery.
 Worry is our corporeal Copperhead and chief organizer of our hygienic Knights of the Golden Circle.
 Of course reasonable precaution is nee essary, and no sensible person will trifle with dirt or intrude unguarded into areas of infection.
 But the King of Antiseptics is Cheer
 Happiness is the friend of life and as
 Satan trembles when he sees
 The weakest saint upon his knees,"
 So Sickness and Death are confounded when they see their victim walled about by Contentment and guarded by Smiles
 Depression, Gloom, Pessimism, Des- pair, Discouragement,t these slay ten human beings to every one murdered by Typhoid Influenza, Diabetes or Pneumonia.
 If Tuberculosis is the Great White Plague, Fear (with his aids, Worry and Gloom) is the Great Black Plague.

 Be Cheerful!
