sLACKERS AND sLACKERs.

No patriotic citizen can offer any
apologies whatever for the young men
physically and mentally fit to serve
their country during the war who
turned slackers and who escaped their
duty by running away or by trumping
up grOundless excuses. There was
quite a number Of these young men
and the war department is going to
publish their names. The only objec'
ton to such publications Is the pos
sibility, aye the probability, of many
mistakes being made and Of the names
of men paraded before the public and
disgraced who were not slackers in
any sense of the term. The depart
ment admits that there will be mis-
takes. but makes the excuse that if the
records at Washington are wrong Their
publication will give the offended per
son an opportunity to have the records
corrected. But that may not be SO
easy and even if the errors are recti
fled there would be many people read
the list of slackers who would never
hear of the correction. Before the de
partment publishes any such list II

The government loan organization
fixes the wealth of this great country
at approximately 10000, OOO.O That
is some sum. 1t means something like
$4,000 per capita or $4,000 per family

and child would suddenly become pos
essed of kahl to the value OF $4,000?
Well, lot of things would happen,
but not much that would benefit man.
kind, save to teach that such division
would do no permanent good to any
body-except perhaps to some of the
worthless millionaires like Harry Thaw
who inherited their wealth. In short
time they would be without resources
and would have to go to work, which
would be good for them and for every
body. These fellows would all be broke
in thirty days and the fellows who
were broke just before the division
would nearly all be broke again in less
than year. A large number Of now
,, millionaires would sprout and they
would have the bulk of the wealth In
short time. A few, very few. would
be able to keep the $1,000 all their
lives, while the successful ones wou.:l
become fairly well fixed in Il few
years. 1t is sure that large per cent
of the people would do nothing until
their money was gone. thus production
would be seriously interfercd with,
prices would mount and there would
be period Of extravaganza nshercd

Clara Hamon, who has been barred
from the Los Angeles movie studios,
will begin to suspect that her artistic
talent is not apprcciatcd.-Des Moines
Register.
The newspapers of the country are
entitled to some credit for the barring
of this woman from the movies. Her
only stock-in-trade was her disgraceful
connection with an Oklahoma million
aire whom she finally killed. The an
nounccment that she would capitalize
her notoriety through the film was not
accepted with cordiality by the press
of the country. On the contrary, the
press denounced the proposed plan of
movie sensationalists to parade her
upon the screen. That the sOrdid and
curious would flock to see her shows
there is no question, but her appear
ance would disgrace the business and
no doubt the managers who were con-
templating the capitalization of her
soiled reputation came to the sensible
though belated conclusion that it would
not pay in the long run.

GETTING THE RENT HOGS"

The Ball act, measure of congress
calculated to discourage rent profiteer
ing in the District Of Columbia, seems
70 be working fairly satisfactorily. The
supreme court Of the United States has
given its o. X, and the opinion handed
down, written by Chief Justice White
says:
The state has the same right to fiS
the proper rental rate that 1t has tt
fix the proper interest rate. Usury Is
not TO be permitted in four rooms and
a bath any more than in farm mort
cages
This means. Of course, that the vari
GUS states. through their legislatures
can file the tusks Of the rent hogs il
they are so disposed and it is reason
able to believe that the states will
sooner or later take action calculated
20 protect tenants if conditions keeI

II that be sound doctrine. and it un
doubfedly is. why cannot the principle
be carried further? If the profits OF

WORTH TRYING.

Sioux City Journal: The Webster
City Freeman-Journal suggests that
the railroads try the experiment of re-
ducing passenger and freight rates for
sixty days, for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether lower rates would
stimulate business. The experiment
would be worth trying, but it is not
likely to be attempted. 1t would be
bold and daring policy remindful Of
earlier railroad history, when railroads
we're not tied so hard and fast by gov
eminent regulations and were less tim
id. With the government restraining
them on the one hand, and labor UNI
ions intimidating them on the other, 1t
is scarcely surprising that railroad in
itiativc has been dulled. Rates are not
likely to come down before wages are
reduced.

Just as expected, the strike in the
eastern paper mills has resulted in the
boosting Of the price of print paper all
over the country. That strike in New
York hasn't added cent to the cost OF
western made paper but the mills take
advantage of the situation to increase
their profits. Yet some old-fashioned
people believe that the firm Of Supply
& Demand still regulate prices. Old
s. & d. may regulate prices in some
commodities, but not where trusts con-
troll. Nor does the cost of production
have much to do with current selling
values, which are fixed arbitrarily
and ut the point the traffic will bear.

The railroads Of the country, like
the farmers, seem to be operating at a
loss. These are the two largest and
most important industries and there
can be no genuine prosperity until they
are back upon a paying basis. Either
their earnings must increase or ex.
penses decrease The country can afford
to pay the farmers more for their
produce, but it cannot afford to pay
more for railroad service. If the far
mers could get good prices business
of all kinds would revive and it is pos
sible the railroads could prosper with
ont reducing wages for actual service,
The unrenumerative values of things
the farmers have to sell is at the bot
tom of most of our financial Difficult
ties. But how can remedial measures
be applied? That is the question that
is battling everybody.

WAR INITIATION.

Coal producers VINO are DcratlnS the
public for not loading up now with
coal for next winter at war-inflati0n
prices might as well save their breath.
At time when steel plants, textile
mills, railroads, express companies and
other industries are re-adjusting war
initiation wages, cutting war-inflation
production costs and lowering war-in-
flation prices the coal trade cannot ex-
pect to stay up in the war-inflation
clouds and get away with it.-New
York Herald.
It remains to be seen just what the
coal trust can do. The print paper
trust, the cigar trust, the railroad labor
trust, the restaurant trust and some of
the others seem to be able to maintain
war initiation prices, and perhaps the
coal trust can do likewise.
Senator Calder, chairman of the
senate committee investigating the
methods of the coal manipulators, said
they stole $500, OOO, 900 from the peo-
pie last year. Well, is the Harding adj
ministration going to allow this plum
dering to continue? Many people be-
lieve that the failure Of the Wilson adj
ministration to pursue policy of law
enforcement against the profiteers cost
the democratic party more votes Mt the
election last fall than any other one
thing. Thus far the Harding admin
istration has done no better in this
matter than the Wilson administration
did, but it is yet early to tell what the
rev administrations policy is to be in
this respect. 1t is pledged, of course,
to the promises Of the republican ma
tional platform, which declared:
1--WE condemn the democratic nd
ministration for failure impartially to
enforce the anti-profiteering laws
enacted by the republican congress .
= There should be no perse-
cutiOn of honest business, but to tho
extent that circumstances warrant we
pledge ourselves to strengthen the low
against unfair practices"
Now then. what is the republican
party rs represented in Washington
going to do in regard to these platform
declarations? Is it going to follow the
policy it denounced the democratic adj
ministration for following, and Is 1t
going to proceed upon the theory that
the coal and kindred thieves are con-
Quoting an honest business" and there
fore should not be ''persecuted!" Well
wait and see what we'll see.

THE sLACKER,s MOTHER.

Bergdoll's mother is to be tried in a
way for the sins of her son. This is
n poor substitute for punishment for
the boy. There would be more sense in
punishment of the idiotic dupes who
fell for the pot Of gold bunk.-IOwa
Falls Citizen.
The Citizen doesn't state the case
fairly. Bergdoll's mother is not going
to be prosecuted "for the sins of her
SON." She is going to be prosecuted
for her own sins, If at all. She as
sisted her son in evading the draft, if
reports are true. furnishing him
money and giving him advice. She pur-
sued the same course, though not as
publicly, as that pursued by Mr.. Debs
and Mr.. Berger. 1t does seem harsh
to prosecute mother for assisting her
son. but possibly the son would have
done differently had his mother taken
the patriotic view and told him of his
duty to his country. The great majority
Of mothers did that. though the sac
rifice was greater for them than for
the sons. 1t must not be forgotten that
the average mother suffered more than
the average son who went to war. She
waited in silence and apprehension for
news. There was no adventure or ex-
citement or sensation in the heroic
part she played. There was nothing
