Gompers on Unpatriotic Americans.
1t is indeed All encouraging sign
when Samuel Gompers, head of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
nounces as "unpatriotic Americans
those who endorse the Russian soviet
government-partic those who
urge the United States government to
recognize the existing force in Rus
STA which is now styled its govern
ment.
MIR. Gompers states that those
unions that are taking their stand in
favor of sovietism are ignorant of
conditions as they actually exist in
Russia today. He openly declares
that the stand of many unions on the
soviet question has been influenced
and, in several cases controlled by &C
tive propaganda. Mr.. Gompers to use
his own words, describes the propa-
gandists as those who bring them
selves to aid and comfort a propa-
ganda that has for it's purpose the de-
struction of the trade labor move
ment in America, and, the overthrow
of our republic" He is in a position
to know tho things which closely con-
Germ the affairs of organized labor,
and when he states that these propa-
gandists would destroy the trade
labor movement in America" his
words deserve credence to a greater
extent than would those of most men
on that subject.
1t is not to be believed that Samuel
Gompers is not a friend to organized
labor. He has been at the head Of
the American Federation for num-
Der of years and has fought many d
hard and bitter fight in behalf of his
organization, not always successfully,
but invariably with courage and abil-
ity. 1t may, truthfully be said that
as the president of the American
Federation OF Labor Samuel Gompers
on more than one occasion unwisely
took his organization into the realms
of politics, but no one can honestly or
fairly say that he ever proved recreant
to the trust imposed in him by the
workmen of America. 1t would seem
as though they would be wise in
needing his counsel regarding soviet
ism.-Miami Herald.

Ial prosperity, and that fact, clearly
forseen long ago by the keenly observ-
ant, is just beginning, apparently, ia
dawn upon popular consciousness. For
the first time, perhaps, our people as
la whole are beginning to visualize, If
not completely to comprehend, that eco
Inomic conditions in Europe have their
reactions here, and vice versa; that
consequently, we must think of Europe
in terms of American conditions.
I'm brief. we are just awakening to
the realization that while we did not
iannex a square foot of Europe politi-
cally in the war, we annexed, almost
unwittingly, a large part of that con-
tinent economically, and find now, that
| we cannot withdraw from it, if we
hwould, except at the sacrifice of our
kown prosperity-except, indeed. at the
hearful cost of great economic loss
b ere.
Stupidity has always exacted ire
rp endous penalties from the human
RAJ e, but the most Grass and costly of
ae stupidity would be for the Amer
lean people to fail Of full appreciation
ofsthat paramount fac.
Our Economic Dependence.
while 1t is true that the United
StaAes is more nearly economically in
depo ldent than any other world power
and that the great market for our pro-
ducts, is our own country. nevertheless,
we ase economically dependent upon
other nations to a larger extent than
has generally been understood. And
not only has that extent not been ap-
preciatad by the mass of our people but
also. it's vital significance to our well
fare. Were that fac properly under
stood, wa would no be less selfish in
our point of view and international
policies but far more selfish; and,
paradox though it seem, through
greater selfishness we would be less
selfish. In other words, we would
realize that by helping others more we
would help ourselves most.

DRUG STORE BEER.

Druggists throughout the country
are giving expression TO a refusal to
become dispensers of the product of
the breweries, even if the government
does grant permission for the issu-
ance of prescriptions for beer for
medicinal purposes" The opportunity
to become the successors of the out
lawed saloons does not appeal to them.
Druggists who are conducting an hon
est business have trouble enough with
dealers who make use of the reputa-
ton Of the business to sell liquors or
drugs illegally.
Only % per cent Of the druggists of
the United States have permits to sell
Intoxicating liquors, which may be ac-
cepted as an indication that a great
majority of druggists do not hold
whiskey in high repute for it's medi-
cinal value. Why should they place
their endorsement on beer by dispens-
ing it on prescription? The records
of liquor sold upon the prescriptions
of physicians lead to the conviction
that much of it is sold in violation of
the Volstead law, which requires that
physicians shall give the same consid-
Grafton to issuing liquor prescriptions
as they would to prescriptions for any
other medicinal compound.
In prohibition states, before the ad-
vent of national prohibition, many
mushroom drug stores were started for
the purpose of selling whiskey, and
pharmacists were employed only as a
blind. This had the effect of bring
ing discredit on the legitimate drug
business. Druggists in large numbers
will hardly care to assume the risk
that will go with giving recognition to
the dispensing of beer as medicine"

PRESS COMMENT
That Fractional Coin


Recent advocacy of the coinage of
a two and one-ha1f cent coin in these
columns has received the endorsement
of the Fourth Estate, newspaper trade
publication of New York, which brings
out some sound arguments in favor of
such q coin.
A two and one-half cent piece would
be far more useful than the proposed
two cent coin, which would save no
body anything, and would be little
more than an added coin to be con-
fused in the pocket or in the dim light
with the nickel.
But a half nickel would be a bird of
another plumage. 1t would fit into our
scheme of government taxes and have
its place in the bargain sales of de-
partment stores. In many a transac-
ton the taxpayer or the buyer pays
an extra half-cent. There is no good
reason why this should be and the
extra half cent would be saved to the
individual by coinage of a half nickel
which would be far more practical
than either the proposed two cent piece
or the sometimes talked of half-cent
coin.-Palatka News.

REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY ADELE GARRISON.

Thank you" I said quietly. You are
very kind. l shall be glad to have you
teach me-"
He came down the bank eagerly and
picked up the rod lying by my side.
you do not need to move from
where you are standing" he said. / had
arised from my seat upon the stone
when he came down the bank. Just
take the rod in your hand So" He
placed the rod in my hand and put my
thumb against the reel. His touch
was gentle ana delicate as a woman's.
Look" he directed. This releases
the reel. When you cast be careful
not to let your line get tangled among
the stones, or caught in the trees over
your head. Just lift your rod in this
fashion So" He raised my fingers as
they clasped the rod and illustrated
his meaning.
1 lifted my rod and made my first
attempt at casting Dicky, my surround
ings, everything forgotten in my ex-
element at having realized a long
cherish ed dream. At my first attempt
only tiny bit of line unreeled, withl
my second the line flew over my head
and the flies caught in the underbrush.
My unknown friend carefully and pa
tiently untangled them, arranged the
reel and put the rod in my hand again.
Don't get discouraged" he said in
his curiOsly melodious voice. "All be-
ginners do those things at first"
My next attempt was more credit
ablen and for fully ten minutes prac-
ticed diligently under the scrutiny of
my companion, whom even my mex
perience recognized as a skilled angler.
Then the moment had been waiting
for came. I felt swift. jerk at my
line. and then the line went out so
fast that it burned my thumb.
Let him have it for a minute"
whispered my companion, Now, reel
him in, slowly, very slowly. There he
goes again. Now pull him again, near
err this tine. I'll land him for you this
time" He sprang down to the waters
edge with my landing net in his hand.
When he had landed the fish and had
taken the hook out I could not for
bear a little squeal of excitement-I
had hardly dared to breathe before.
"Oh; what a beauty!" l exclaimed,
bending over the net in which a big
speckled trout thrashed madly.
Beginners luck" the man said, with
a little courtly bow, which somehow
did not seem homogeneous even with
his threadbare appearance. But I
think this will not be your last fish
today. You did that very we'll"
1 had been so absorbed in the fish
and its capture that I had not noticed
Dicky's approach. His voice startled
me so that 1 fairly jumped.
What in thunder does this mean,
Madge?" he demanded angriIy.

Mrs. Seal shivered. You must have
been very brave!" she admired.
"Oh, just a trifle!" Mr.. Seal swelled
out his chest.

Seal.

can bend in the middle"
How awful" shuddered Mrs. Seal.

TALK OF THE TOWN

A car driven by John Cross OF
Mortified and large Maine ear col
lided as the latter was approaching
Barre on the Montpelier road Thursday
night and both machines were dam
aged considerably, not enough, how
ever, to hinder the cars from continu-
ing on their way, though it was some
three hours before Mr.. Cross, who was
returning to his home in Mortified,
after business trip to this city, was
able to to resume his ride. So far as
can be found out, no one was in
jured.
TO the common gardener, with his
knowledge OF what should be, and what
shouldn't be in the line Of seasons, a
couple of baskets of native strawber-
ries, picked only Thursday, you'd seem
something like native fake. Never
theless, one Of Barre's fanciers did this
seemingly impossible stunt in his gar
den the other day, after the frost at
that. The berries were large, unusually
large, and had all the earmarks of be-
ing hundred per cent spring crop. The
vines also were in the pink Of health,
apparently not at all disturbed by the
freezing they had undergone. 1t is well
known among fruit growers that there
is such a thing as an ever bearing
strawberry, and also a fell-bearing spe-
cies, but attempts to raise them in
this district have been anything but
successful. The plant grows all right,
but the fall berries mo!
