Why Was Not Labor Drafted7


 At the time when the United States entered the war there were men who pleaded that not only should soldiers be drafted, but that all labor of what ever kind should be drafted. The plea was that virtually every man, woman and child in the United States should be brought by law into the service of the government
 If this had been done the men and woLlen who remained in the field of peace would have had not only their work directly but their pay fixed by the government of the United States. The man engaged in peaceful war work was essentially lahorer for the government, and why the govern ment should not have control over him as we'll as over the man who was fighting in the field, no official who locks at the logic of the situation can understand.
 This view of the case Is now gen erally taken in Washington, and 1t can be taken for granted that out of the lessons learned from the great war the Cnited States never will get into like fix again If unhappily it has to issue another call to arms. The draft was democratic and successful In another war. if the feeling of to- day shall prevail, no worker of any kind will escape the draft, and if any combination of workers in the field of labor shall attempt to strike while their brethren are fighting there prob- ably will be something coming to them Higher officials here say that Uncle sam has learned one lasting lesson.
 It is understood that if Congress finally shall decline to pass the bonus legislation at this session renewed drive will be made to make 1t Cer- tain from now on that no disabled vet eran shall continue to suffer for a Io.. .Nf oh

Alton, Tenn,-"I want other suffering women to know what Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound has done for me.

payment of the btnus would mean in ;he way of increased living costs and increased taxes. Naturally opposition tC the bonus is one of the most thank less positions which q government Otfi- cial can take. It makes little differ cnce how the majority of the senators and representatives may feel about the legislation for knowing that they will run the risk of the charge of in- gratitude to the veterans if they op- pose the passage of the bill most of them show outwardly at least kindly disposition toward the legislation.
 Trying to Pass the Buck.
 What the outcome will be it is as yet of course impossible to say. but the senate has shown a marked diSpo- sition to support the legislation almost unanimously. and therefore. so to speak, the buck has been passed to the house of representatives. Each house unquestionanlY wished that the other would take the burden of refusing to sanction the measure. Each house is hinorous about taking q course of op- possion to. the legislation.
 There Is lot to be said for the bonus. Not man will get the money who did not serve his country for rnitN pay while hundreds of thou sands of other men were waxing fat in pocket in the peaceful pursuits of trade. The contrast between the con dition of the men who worked in ship yaroS and n the arms factories at big wages and that of the men who worked for S33 month in the trenches IS the one strong inspiring cause of support of the bonus bill by veterans of the service who happen to hold po- sitionS in the varioAs veteran organ. izatjons
 If there had been no slackers and no S20-a-day workers in the great war. nothing today would be heard of the bonus. The government in a way is reaping what it sawed. If the serv- ice of some men prominent in public life Including many general officers of the army. had been followed, bonus leri*lation would not be here to dis turb conditions.

Will
Be Serious Blow
To Jap Industries

Toxic, Sept. If the Washing
ton Conference ends in an interha-
tional agreement on naval limitation
one effect will be to add to the pre-
sent difficulties of Japanese ship
building companies. which have only
been able to keep in full operation
because of orders from the Navy
department. Continued depression
in the merchant marine has already
hit the ship builders seriously.
Of the leading shipyards, most of
them depend upon naval orders. At
the moment naval orders are very
important to the shipyards and it is
difficult for those which do not or
cannot undertake to hold their own
against the prevailing depression.
1t is said that for reasons connect
ed with the budget or some other
reasons, the naval authorities are
postponing the issue of new orders.
Cincinnati, Aug. 31-The average
Englishman, with all of his proven
bal insistance upon his personal
rights, calls less often upon his
courts for relief than does his VIM
erlcan cousin, declared John W. Va
Wis, former ambassador to England,
in an address here tonight before
the American BBar Association in
which he gave "some random obser-
vations on the organization of the
legal profession in England and the
administration of English Justice
"Who shall come forward with an
explanation of this fact if fact it
be?" asked Mr.. Davis. as it a sur
vlval of days long gone when justice !
was not only costly but tardy and
is it because there exists
in England a class of lawyers whose
business lies wholly outside the
courts and in whose hands MANY
controversies are settled without iu-
dicial aid; or is there a reason deep
er still in the age-Iong habit of this
Island people to respect the law they
have made and live their daily lives
within its well-marked circle?
Startling as it may seem, the lit
cation of England and Wales is rel
atively little more than the litigation
n our Federal Courts alone; and the
'ast tide of controversy that flows
through our state tribunals may be
redited to us as surplus belliger- .
ncy." /

ranks and orders into which the lie
gal profession in England is divided
declared that ain comparison with
the close knit organizations shelter
ed by the Inns of Court and Law So
ciety, we in America seem so many
scattered grains of sand" 1t is diff.
ficult to make one familiar only with
the English atmosphere, he contin.
ued, understand that, in truth not
withstanding this Association, there
is no such body as the Americn Bar,
There are, instead, scattered groups
consisting Of county, city and state
bars, with a Federal bar here and
there composed in part of the same
members but united by no tie of
common origin or discipline"
A marked spirit of progress, espe-
cially in the dominion of criminal
law procedure, Mr.. Davis said, has
been shown in recent years by the
legal profession of England. In adj
dition to sweeping changes in the
Judicature Acts of 1872, 1874 and
1875, he declared, "justice has been
brought nearer to the masses by the
enlargement of the common law iu-
risdiction of the county courts"
when all comparisons have been
made, and all differences recounted."
Mr.. Davis said in conclusion, "the
fact remains that the members of the
legal profession in England are in
very truth CUR brethren over seas.
The common law by which we live
has its roots in English soil. The
judges who inter ret it on both sides
of the water loof to their distant COL
leagues for cou sci and assistance,
and the principles of liberty which it
are the rod and staff by
which our peoples walk.

Nova Scotians
Celebrate 3OOth
Anniversary Day
(By Associated Press)

Annapolis Royal, N. S., Sept. l.
Sixteen years before the MayAowel
with brailed sails cast anchor of
Plymouth Rock, the Sieur de Monts
sighted the Annapolis Basin from
the stern deck of another ship, the
Acadie, and landed to form the first
settlement of white men north OF
the Gulf Of Mexico.
Today Nova Scotians celebrated
the three hundredth anniversary of
the granting of the charter of New
Scotland) Nova Scotia, by King
James 1, to Sir William Alexander,
in 1921, and paid tribute to the
sturdy. Scottish pioneers who laid
the foundations of settlement and
government in this Province three
centuries ago as well as intrepid
French Adventures whose landing
and settlement in 1904 makes this
town second only to St. Augustine,
Florida, in point of age, in North
America.
A tablet was unveiled by the gov
eminent of Nova Scotia cSmmemo-
rating the grant to Sir William AL
eXander and the Scottish founda-
ton of Nova Scotia, and another hon.
oring the 200th year since the estab-
lishment and sitting of the first court
administering English Common Law
in what is now the Dominion of Ca
NADIA. A third tablet is in honor of
Thomas Chandler Halliburton, the
eminent Nova Scotia statesman, iu
rist and humorist who, as creator
Of "Sam Slick" tht Yankee clock
maker, won fame as the father of
American humor. Judge Halliburton |
was admitted to the bar of Nova |
Scotia a century ago, and his famous
book, "The Clockmaker, or Sayings
and Doings of Sam Slick of Slick
lille" appeared in 1887.
The Annapolis Valley afforded
appropriate setting for
he impressive ceremonies. The
quaint, old-world town perched on
he bluffs called by deMonts, Port
Royal, lie port royal for the beauty
f its environment, but later named

When the smoke cloud rolled away not a figure was to be seen. Shelby stood up, grimly smiling, and replaced the cartridges in his weapon. The end was not yet, but he had taught them a lesson in caution.
 For a moment, blinded by gazing out into the sunlight, he could see noth- ing clearly about him, not even the figure of Olga. "Where are you?" he asked.
 Here, by the other door. What has happened"
 He laughed, put at ease by the quick response of her voice.

REVERE'S BELL PRESERVED
still Hangs in Kings Chapel in Bostof Was Man of Many Accom-
 pIishments.

In the belfry of Kings Chapel built when Boston was in its infancy still hangs a bell which was cast by Paul Revere. It was his 161st bell Besides being a bell caster, Revere was also an engraver. a goldsmith and a dentist. Rising above the modest houses in the Italian district on Hull street Is the old North church, from which Revere received his signal previous to his famous midnight ride.
 Christ church, the Second Episcopal church of Boston, is situated in the north end, and is an offshoot of Kings Chapel. Its spire, designed and bull in 1723, has served as a landmark tc guide ships into the harbor.
 In 1904 this spire was blown down by a great gale, and was shortened by sixteen feet The chime of bells now silent, which hangs in the tower was made in 1774, in the foundry Of Abel Ruddall, of Gloucester, England Each bell has engraved upon it an in scription denoting Its history.

 back wall. Before the smoke blew away Shelby replied, sighting out through the small aperture, determined to make every shot count. The near est white man flung up his arm which dripped blood, grabbed it and ran; the crouching Indian behind, crum- pied up as though crushed by some sudden weight and never moved. Laud sprang backward, startled by the swift response from within, the smoke swirling up between his fingers, and Shelby let drive. Whether the speed ing bullet struck or missed he never knew, but the squaw-man gave one startled leap into the concealment of
