Leaai Picketins



The fine sanity and common sense
of Chief Justice Taft have seldom
shone to better advantage than in
clarifying opinion concerning the
rights and wrongs of picketing.
The subject has been involved In
much judicial obscurity. Neither en-
blowers nor labor organizations, al
though DESTROYS of obeyirg the law.
have found it easy to ascertain what
is the law. Some judges have, in eff
feet, held that all picketing is neces-
sarily illegal; others that pickets may
do practically as they please. Jus
tice Taft intervenes to define with
homely particularly.
Strikers, says the Chief Justice in
his Interpretation of the twentieth
section of the Clayton act, may main
tain pickets adjacent to establish
ments where a strike is on, and these
pickets may accost workers in an in
offensive way. But they may not pur-
sue a conversation if the accosted OBJ
jects or turns away. They may not
importune, attract crowd, or other
wise modest or annoy. In a word, a
picket must display good manners.
If he does not it may be assumed that
under cover of exercising a right he
would commit a wrong.
The court makes it's doctrine clear.
The rules are sufficiently specific for
any one to understand. There will
not be a picket in doubt as to what
he may do.

"BETWEEN THE ANGELS AND
THE SOIL"

"There is a great painting that tells
Of American activity-a prairie
schooner with its oxen toiling West
ward, bearing family to some I'M
discovered home. Above the caravan
hover the Angels of Hope, and Faith
and Love, pointing the way to go.
Below is the Spirit OF Commercialism
and above the Spirit of Idealism. and
the plodding life Of America marches
on between the angels and the soil.
In the conflict of these two forces lies
the problem Of our future. Are we
to be victims of our own prosperity.
robbed by the very magnitude Of our
wealth; or shall we go on under the
leadership Of the wisest and the
best?"
This from the admirable address O:
Assistant Attorney General Golf to
the National Law Enforcement con-
vention serves to remind us that we
have for a chief one who is seen to
be fitted by temperament and train
ing to lead those who are travelling
the ways between the angels and
the SOIL" whose feet are on the solid
ground but whose hearts are open to
inspiration.

The Sim Fein delegates on leaving
London were nearly whelmed by
Irish sympathizers when they went
to take their train. But in Ireland
the news of the settlement was re-
ceived with noticeable apathy. One
writer speaks Of 1t as a hope long
drawn out and dulled, but thinks joy
unconfined will break forth when the
truth is realized. 1t is thought the
release of 1900 men from imprison-
ment will help to bring conviction to
the Irish people that a really great
event has occurred. And 1t Is an
event the full significance of which is
not fully realized anywhere. The
effect of relief from CALLING re-
straint that has been hated by a peo-
pie for seven hundred years, what
will that be, or who may estimate it's
influence on the character and
achievements Of the people? This
people, in every walk Of life, have
achieved distinction. May they as a
nation freed from the restraint
achieve correspondingly? Only the
years can answer. It is right that
they should have the opportunity to
demonstrate and that glorious chance
is now come TO pass.

GOOD SENSE IN WAR DEPART.
MENT


Because we have dazzled the world
by our magnanimous offer to strip
ourselves Of all means Of aggression
IL no good reason tor being our
selves dazzled by the deiusion that
our duty is done and our obligations
all fulfilled China has shown what
happens to a people that adopts the
defense of the ostrich when threat
ened with danger by sticking its head
In the sand.
plans now initiated for prepare
lions for national defense contemp-
late a more complete state of prepar-
edness than at any previous period
in the peace time history of our coun-
try" is a statement contained in the
report of Secretary Weeks Of the War
Department. The country IS to be
congratulated on having a man at
the head OF this who possesses the
foresight and good sense requisite for
avoiding the mistakes which we have
always made OF lapsing into a desue-
tude, anything but innocuous. after
period Of warfare. We paid severe
penalties in every war we have had
because Of unpreparedness.
But Mr.. Weeks sees that this Is not
all: the plan must have the whole
hearted support OF the country. ITO
insure success, they must lend f1nan-
cial support to the limit of insurance
demanded. The young men of the
country must train themselves to be
fitted into their places in the nation
al reserve. The industries must pre-
pare to cooperate IN war time pro-
duction."
True, every word of it. If we would
not expose ourselves to the awful sit
uation of the defenders of France
when subjected to the poison gas
against which they had prepared no
defense and because of which thous-
ands were tortured to death most
frightfully, we must prepare our
selves against such a tragedy. 1t is
not even humane to ourselves, our
own people, our children and grandl
children, to expose them to such a
terrible ordeal.
If it is objected that no one at
present is likely to attack US, this. as
we should have learned by this time.
is no answer. The people who are
unprepared invite aggression. Those
who are prepared discourage it. Be-
sides they have acquired habit OF
keeping fit which III every walk of
life is absolutely essential to the full
measure OF success. We may begin
this habit now when we have COM
pleted a lesson on how to do it. If
we don't begin now there is little
likelihood that we will do so, in which
event another penalty will have to be
paid, greater than any we have ex-
perienced.

GENERALS REPORT

In anti -adrpinistration circles So
-licitous comments were made re-
specting President Harding's selec-
tion of an attorney general, as most
will recall. The ranks of the solicit
Gus may, perhaps. be augmented by
some of those who learn that Mr..
Daugherty is proposing effective laws
to restrain ultra radicalism when 1t
encourages injury to life and prop
erty.
He would make It criminal Of
fence to send letters through the
-mails threatening injury to life and
property; and, pray, why not? He
would have laws that would reach
American citizens who are implicated
in the criminality of ultraradicalism
as well as aliens; and why not?
1t is said to be known to the de-
partment that 427 communistic prop
agandist came into this country from
abroad last year; that they are
spending a vast amount of money
here a part of which is through the
medium of so-called defense socie-
ties: that the Communist Interna-
tionale at Moscow has been working
to get control Of trade and industrial
unions IN this country and is meet
ing with marked SUCCESS.
Notwithstanding such evidence of
the mischief those at the head of
Russian affairs are trying to inflict
on America, our President advocates
a supreme effort on our part to re-
lieve the suffering brought about
largely through their mismanagement
which they seek to inflict Oh this
country. We are glad that he has
dome this. We hope the response will
4correspond to the need. This coun-
try is big enough to do this thing. to
give bread to those throwing stones
at US, giving in the spirit that they
know not what they do.
But these propagandists should not
be overlooked. They know very well
+. what they are trying to do. They
wish to loot this country as they have
looted Russia. What loot that
would be! Americas hand of fellow
pssilip goes out to the deluded and sub
jected Of Russia, but when it comes
in contact with the Russian delusion-
list seeking to delude us it should be-
come the hand of restraint. At home
they have put their countrymen I'M
der subsection and brought starvation
and disease upon them. In order to
bring about q change Of rulers there
must be bloodshed: the Russian peo-
pie must undergo great sacrifice If
they are to have this relief. Yet
those same rulers have for several
years been by every means at their
command telling the people of Amer
lea that we are down-trodden. And
in that time this country has seen an
!. entire change of rulers. without
bloodshed or serious bitterness. In
the light of all these facts, comment
Is entirely superfuous.
More power to Attorney General
Daugherty's elbow!

JONAHWOULD BE
ASTONISHED AT,
CHANGE IN JAFFA

Jaffa, Palestine, Nov. 12-(The AS
ISOLATED Press)-If the prophet Jo-
nah Should return within the next
few months to his little atavistic
port. whence he set sail some 1000
years ago on his tempestuous voyage
he probably would be amazed at the
metamorphosis.
| After all these centuries, modern
ism, in the form of Goth century
.harbor is about to make it's COM
mercial encroachments upon this
basking seashore, whose name was
Joppa when Jonah knew it.
For some years, and particularly
since the British occupation, har-
Dor for Palestine has been talked of,
but only now is this dream of easy
ingress and egress to and from the
cradle of Christianity about to be
realized.
An Italian banking syndicate,
having satisfied itself that
great commercial possibilities
are wrapped up in new-old Palestine,
has offered to advance the necessary
mental guarantees, and the actual
work is expected soon to begin.
The plans as drawn call for the ex-
pcnditure of sum not to exceed
| $1,OO0,O0O, to be retired with interest
within 80 years.
The harbor is to be located directly
opposite the section of the old city of
Bible times, making the present Gus
tom house central point from
which the extension will be made
/ northward and southwark. 1t is to
comprise three sections, one devoted
entirely to freight and passenger
ships. one to shipbuilding and re-
pairing and one to fishing.
Lack of proper harbor facilities
has been one of the greatest impedi-
ments to commercial development of
Palestine. and, consequently. the in
habitants are looking with keen an
ticipation upon the time when large
| ships can dock easily on Ralestine's
shores. When the weather is stormy
| and the sea rough, it is now practi-
lscally impossible for boats to come
even within three miles Of land.
Wnere even IN mild weather all ships
have to be loaded and unioaded with
the aid of small. obsolete craft.
Thus it is estimated at least 81, 900. :
200 year can be saved on the load
ing and unloading item alone, to say
nothing of the inevitable effect better
shipping facilities will have on the
cost of living, which is now excessive
ly high.
Commensurate with harbor i'm
provement. the city of Jaffa itself,
Is making plans to come out of its
lethargy and reap rich rewards In
dependent commercial interests al
ready are laying plans to develop
four miles of waterfront. intending to
build store rooms. restaurants, no.
tells and private homes for the bene-
TT OF traders and tourists. ~
