DEPRESSING.

Our friend the Hon. B. S, Rodey, takes us tc
task in this manner over our editorial on Gal
luses"
at isn't CALI, it is plain calluses. The word
has become English language word long ago
like many other Latin and Spanish and French
words"
The best authorities we had at hand to de-
termine what was the plural of "callus," were
the Standard and Webster's International Diction-
aries. They gave it cali" We glad to have
a final authority pass it. Judge Rodey says it is
causes We like the latter word better and shall
use it on his voucher of its proprety.
Continuing the Judge says
How long, oh Lord, how long to have
this din kept up about every being a cap
italist if he has enough laid by to pay for tomor
rows meals! And about the hard work of the poor
capitalist (pity be to him) How he does suffer:
and his wife and his children! the poor fellow.
Something must be done for him, or he will die,
of money burden is it?
you know gets just little tired of this
eternal preachment of the press of this country
intended to quiet things and make working men
satisfied with their condition, and make it easier
for capital to make profit and for profiteers to
profiteer. Yes to make all workers be good little
boys and not make fuss and disturb things"
1t is painful to US, after careful effort at
analysis, to brilliant lawyer like Judge Rodey
miss point entirely We not engaged in
effort to make any one satisfied with his lot. A
reasonable dissatisfaction with present status is
the spur which hastens us on to renewed effort
Nor attempting to support property
rights in any unfair way. We were doing exactly
the contrary-were emphasizing the fact that hu-
man rights paramount and property rights
incidental to them.
What trying to do to make the
real distinction it. All, men who believe
in the primary Importance of human rights
whether these possess property in large
small amounts belong in class, while those
who believe in the superiority of property rights
belong in the other.
In truth. we were trying to convince Those who
work with their hands, and so develop "causes"
that men like Judge Rodey, whose hands have been
innocent of "calluses' for thirty years but who
think in terms of sympathy with the rank and
file Of ordinary men. are their friends, belong in
their class. and should be listened to with sym
pathy
Judge Rodey, by his comment, would force
classification of himself with those without zeal
luses" and therefore enemy to Labor. That
10 not where he belongs. He thinks in terms of
human rights and therefore belongs with all men
who believe in the superiority of people over"
things.
We astonished that he should SO grossly
misunderstood US. We astounded that he
would agitate against himself.

"wHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT OF MORTAL?

Twenty-Five years ago. with ceremonies of i'm
posing splendor, Emperor Nicholas II crown
ed car of all the Russias in Moscow.
Today he lies buried in some obscure grave
and his domnions are partly in the hands of a
gang of boodthirsty bandits-slayers of his fam
lily and himself, and oppressors OF his subjects
Car Nicholas was more sinned against than
shining. An exemplar of private, domestic virtues
he permitted the scepter to be wrested from him
by self-seeking bureaucrats and a mystic monk,
who allowed him only the simulacrum of kingship.
If he had not been so weak, he might have
sted the rumblings of discomfort among his sub
jects, But he advised by his cynical coterie,
and the wrongs of the peasantry remained
rghted.
During the war, too, he allowed treachery to
flourish about him. His brave mouzhiks were
forced to fight with wooden guns their
bare fists against the well-trained, well-equpped
armies of Mackensen and Won Hndenburg, be-
cause German spies were busy at Petrograd seeing
to it that ammunition and supplies were kept
away from the hard-beset Russian soldiers.
Again, whether from petty vanity from an
unfortunate yielding to sinister counsel the car,
transferred his uncle, the Grand Duke Nicholas
from the eastern to the southern fron-transferred
him, in word, from post of primary import
ance, fighting the Germans, to the Caucasus
gion where only second-rate military machine
the Ottoman army-confronted him.
This was one of the greatest blunders Nicholas
committed during the war. Historical criticism
probably viii accord the grand duke a place in
modern military strategy only second to that of
Marshal Foch. When he supplied with the
munitions of war, he almost invariably outwtted
Won Hindenburg the German idol Even when
treachery at home had stabbed his armies in the
back, he made the most of his material, and aided
by the courage of the Russian soldiers, relieved
the pressure the western front by keeping the
Huns busy in the east and probably saved Yer
dun.
Yet Nicholas relegated him to comparatively
unimportant position, and assumed personal COM
mand in the east. With what result the Brest-
Litovsk treaty attests. although the Bosheviki
shared some of the responsibility for that gnom-
inious piece Of treachery to the allies.
Nicholas had neither the strength to enforce
humane reforms nor the efficiency to quell the
upheaval of his disconnected subjects.
Truly, he was a liking of shreds and patches

AN UNEXPECTED VISIT
CHAPTER CXXXV.

| NI1AE L EN- IAAAN.
AS the day wore on l became

a few moments after Norah had
cleared it way and taken the
| children to the park 1 gave way
and cried for an hour Then
Helen Thurston came and while |

She had scarcely left when
Carol Blackjack came. l was so

Norah being out l, of course had
to answer the door. He had not

Vivian wanted to stop on our
way in this morning, but l want
ed to see you alone. Don't shrink
away from me, because of any
feeling you have about Tom. He
and Miss Coleman are pretty in
innate you know. He has no
right to say anything to you.
You have been crying, Sue, tell
me dear, what's the trouble,

Before we had talked much

Then Vivian Morton stopped to
see if l had entirely recovered
from my headache.
Il wanted to stop on our way

reproachful glance at him. HE

Carol said to her with mean

Just before Norah came in he
had told me that l needn't feel
so badly because he had made
love to me. and had insinuated
that Tom was in love with his
stenographer, Miss Coleman.

But Vivian's entrance made any

ACTUAL EQUALITY.

In New York speech, made by President
Harding on Monday. he said
at may be true that some of these chill
dren are not prepared to embrace opportunity
but the wonderful thing of America is that
opportunity beckons to all thege young Amer
leans alike"
This statement is true as far as our organic
law is concerned Basically our government is so
organized that every boy and girl has an equal
political opportunity in life.
OF course. no political system can give that
equality Of mental and physical endowment which
will give its children equality of opportunity
for success in life. Nature is kinder to than
TO others in the natural equipment she affords
them. No governmental system overcome this
native handicap. To weigh the feet of those who
are strong to run, and to carry those who are too
weak to walk, is not possible desirable. Amer
lea has grown great by leaving the individual to
his own initiative and allowing him to work out
his own salvation-or damnation. The government
can not make brilliant, industrioush frugal
or moral. That is "up to u.s. as individuals.
However, the government can go, and must CO.
much farther than it has yet gone in equipping
its boys and girls to be prepared to embrace
opportunity"
We are sorry that the president spoke as
though the lack Of preparation to embrace oppor-
ttnity inevitable and beyond remedy.
We can fool ourselves to hearts content
about equality of opportunity in America but we
have not done our duty a government to our
boys and girls or to the republic until we make
that equality much nearer reality.
Let illustrate. Here are two boys of equal
age and of equal mental and physical endowment.
One is the son of man who possesses COM
potency sufficient to give the boy college and a
technical education. The other is the son of a
poor washerwoman and is compelled to drop out
of school in the eighth grade in order to go to
work. That is bad for the boy and bad for the
country His circumstances have denied him the
chance to embrace opportunity"
governmental system which functioned as it
should, would have provided this boy. capable and
desirous of education, the opportunity Of ac-
quirng 1t. Society is the loser by its own negli-
gence. We might multiply illustrations.
Our point is that should not be resigned
to things as they-are inevitable and incurabIe
To political equality of opportunity must grad
ually and inteigently add actual equality of
opportunity.
In fact, political equality is only theory as

THE WEST vIRGINIAN FRONT.

The hostillties on the West virgnian front,
arising out of the strike troubles in NIingo county
will shortly be investigated by congress, if reso-
luton introduced by Senator Johnson and to be
considered today, is passed.
Such disgracefu condition of affairs, involv-
ing as it does not merely sporadic shooting but
open attacks on two three towns, clearly merits
governmental inquiry. The American sense of law
and order will not tolerate situation of this
kind.
Despite the surface goominess of the affair
1t is encouraging to learn that the three parties
the workers, the employers and
the property holders-have Joined in a request for
an investigation.

How shall I choose a dressing
for a certain salad?" is a question
my readers ask me frequently. In
selecting dressing a good rule to
follow is this: If the salad itself
is very rich and contains much
fat, use a boiled dressing rather
than a mayonnaise or French
dressing (the two latter contain
much fat in the oil used). If,
however, a salad is deficient in fat
mayonnaise or French dressing
will combine well with it.
For a fruit salad the dressing
may consist Of mayonnaise, either
plain or combined with whipped
cream (preferably sour whipped
cream, or it may he of distinctly
sweet type such as the honey dress
ing given above or the sweetened
French dressing. Or an unsweet-
ened French dressing may be used
for fruit salad if desired, or the
boiled dressing containing peanut
butter given above
