THEFT THROUGH FLATTERY.

The meanest kind of thief is the man who steals an0ther's good judgment by fattering him. Some people are so sus- ceptible to praise that, like strOked kit tens, they just lie down and roll over whenever they are offered a compn- ment. The difference between the fiatterer and friend is that the for mer wants to buy something with pleasant words, and the latter wants to share his mind with you. There has been altogether too much dependence on smooth talk" in business. If mon ey had depreciated in value as much as words have, there would be very little business done. A mans word of praise ought to he as sound and as good as his word of promise, and that ought to be as good as his bond, says Dearborn Independent. The only thing that justifies a compliment these days is that it he detached from any form of self-sseking.

that the capitalist slave" got in Am erica
 When Soviet worker strikes he ceases to eat. Also, he is very likely to be punctured with machine-gun fire. The American worker who goes on strike is usually forehanded enough to have a strike fund or a private bank roll. Nevertheless, Big Bill rather likes the Russian life. He certainly does not care for Leaven- worth.
 Butter is forty cents pound here; other foods range along in propor- tion. Soviet rubles are now regard ed soJpOorly that ir takes 2O,O00-of them to buy an American dollar A Petrograd workman could take his months wages of maybe 10000 ru- bles, buy pound of butter and may be have enough left over to get an egg, maybe. An American quarter of a dollar is equal to 5000 rubles. A.$12-a-week office boy if paid in ru- bles would be getting 24O,000 a week.
 In Russia no man asks your sal ary; he is interested in your food ration. We are rationing nobody in this "capitalistic land" Our cities are not falling to pieces. We are not starving any human being or or ganizing conspiracies to starve any body into submission.
 Haywood, maybe, is "spoofng" the Russians. Certainly, he knows that he is talking utter rot.-Ketchikan Chronicle.

To live in too dry an atmosphere Is unhealthy and adds to the doctors bill. Statistics shoW that about one-third of all deaths in this country have been due to diseases of the throat and lungs. Fresh, clean, pure, humid air as found out of doors Is the treatment generally prescribed for such ailments; and until people understand the need for the proper kind of air in the home, especially during the seasons when the doors and windows are kept closed, the recurrence of such discomforts are to be expected, says Farmers Bulletin 1194, recently published by the United States Department of Agriculture.

No economic situation n which waste is a factor can be satisfactory or profitable. It makes no difference whether it Is a waste of capital, as in the bad management, or In waste of labor, as in a case of reducing the capacity of capable men to the ca- paclty of the least capable. All such waste goes into the price of the prod uce and not only makes 1t high for popular consumption, but, remarks Springfield Union, in the case of manu- factured products, handicaps their sale abroad in competition with others.

Against Low NeCks but
 Short Skirts?-.

Zion. H.. June POT h e cit y fathers Of the City oi Zion evidently overlooked the fact that dresses would have a tendency to shorten at both ends. They covered ;he tops with an ordinance. but neglected the bottoms.
 W. Hurd Clendnen. Mayor of Zion, had his attention called to this palpable neglect on the part of the civic powers. He was thunder struck when he saw how weak the ordinance was and how helpless the law was to act in cases where wo- men had paraded in short skirts.
 The present ordinance imposes a fine of not more than 200 dol lars. of from five to six months in the city bastile for appearing in public in 'peekaboO" or mosquito net stockings, in sleeves that do not come down to the middle Of the fore arm. or in blouses that expose, or partially expose, the neck and the shoulders a greater distance than a third part from the neck to the tip of the shoulders" The wearing of such attire is deemed "immodest, vulgar, indecent and suggestive of low and vicious morals. tending to debauch innocence and purity, and degrade the best interests of so- ciety." But the length of the skirts are not mentioned.

slve personality, abidTng convictions, recognized learning and statesman like foresight, expected to promote team work by the court, so as to give weight and solidarity to it's opinions. One of the striking qualities of Chief Justice White had developed in him the same quality. He was winning in his way. strong in his responsi- bility for the court, earnest fh his de- sire to avoid divisions and highly skilled in reconCiling difficulties in the minds of his brethren.
 A native of Louisiana. son of its seventh Governor, Confederate soldier when not much more than a boy. taken prisoner of war at Port Gibson, the political antecedents of Chief Justice White were Federal istic and Whig; and while he went with his section in the struggle of '65. he was ever Nationalist in the construction of the Federal ConSti- tution. No Judge ever sat upon that bench who was more deeply patriotic more strongly American, more anN- ious for the welfare of his country. His opinions and his conversations yyera ful of a conscientious sense Of responsibility to the people for the maintenance. in it's pristine strength, of the Constitution of the United States, and in the preservation Of the public interest and private right. with the same nice balance of his predecessor. John Marshal. In the exercise of the great function of in terpreting our fundamental law Judges attain highest distinction by their statesmanlike foresight as to the future operation and effect of the principles established by the judg- ment of Lhe court. Prominent in this class were Marshall and Bradley: and the late Chief Justice is entitled

In 1891 he became United Stated Senator from his own State, and served there three years. In 1894 he was appointed from the Senate, by President Cleveland to be an As sociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States; and in Decem- ber. 1910. he was promoted to be Chief Justice. He was engaged for years in the very active practice of h.s profession. and became intimate ly familiar with both the common law and the civil law. He filled the measure Of the definition of a great iur.St when called 10 the bench. In thc politics of Louisiana he led the fight against the ocIopus-like power of the Louisiana Lottery and won it.

that those living the nearest to Dover
were the last TO arrive.
Senator Alice replied to this and in
doing so made reference TO some
committee meetings that Senator
Palmer had not attended.
Senator Palmer then charged that
he did not attend the meetings OF
on the new school law because he
objected at the start to any move
that would in any way keep infor-
nation from the public.
Senator Palmer had spoken on a
question of personal privilege and
when Senator Alice arose TO reply,
Lieutenant Governor Bush, who was
presding. inquired IL the Senator
from Kent was also talking on a
personal privilege. Senator Alice re-
piled that he was not, and that he
arose TO reply to a new matter that
Senator Palmer had injected into the
discussion
The chair ruled Senator Alice out

the resolution before the Senate.
Senator Alice appealed from the de-

was sustained by a vote OF 9 70 3

Senator Alice, in reply to Senator
Palmer, said that the meetings TO

and that the only restriction placed
on newspaper men was the request
that they not quote any Individual
member on any suggestions that he
made m committee.
The Walker resolution was next
passed by a vote OF 10 to g.
Senators Palmer, Prettyman and
