in non-taxable. securities.A I appeal
to you if this should be the condition

greatest Industrial country in the
worId''
No one, it seems. disputed the
statement, or its meaning, which is
that the taxation system, made in war
ana as now revised in peace, drives
capital out of constructive industry
and into tax-exempt securities of
state and municipalities.
The Hartford Courant, commenting
upon the circumstance, points out
that Mr.. Schwab is a man of great
wealth, which, however, he did not
make by the purchase of "non-tax-
able securities" He is active in bust
ness at present, and, altho he might
make three times as much by selling
his business, he doesn't do so, shrewd
financier as he is. He is not alone in
continuing his activities and, if he
sold out his business. it would be to
others who would continue it if it is
wort maintaining.
In all this easy talk about non
taxables it seems to be forgotten that
the community is the gamer. The
exemption means that the municipal
ity succeeds in borrowing at a lower
rate. This is a saving to the people.
The intimation that by selling out his
business Mr.. Schwab would end it i'm
plies that the buyers would throw
away their money.
The non-taxahles are in existence.
If OIL man buys them. another sells
them. If new loans are issued, the
municipalities would have to pay a
higher rate, if the exemption were not
there.
1t strikes us. says the Courant. that
there is a good deal of bluff about this
non-taxs lie talk

Statistics indicate that the cisaret,
Notwithstanding restrictive legislation
in Iowa and Utah, is increasing in
popularity. Cigaret production in Oc-
tober was &c per cent above the fig
ures for the corresponding month Of
last year and gain was also noted in
the production of smoking tobacco
and snuff, altho the percentage OF
gain of the latter was less. The Off
ciaI cigaret figures for October stand
at 4,ss1.O52.324 units. Under exist
ing laws there is no way of estimating
the production of intoxicating bever-
ages but that probably would show g
bis increase. since a large part of the
population seems to be making its
own.

I.ABoR,s CHANGE OF FRONT.

Observant persons hardly can have
failed to note that recently the atti
tude of labor toward the courts and
other legally constituted authorities
has been undergoing a change. There
is apparent tendency to put it's trust
in these media for the settlement of
differences with employers rather
than in the strike and the walking
delegate.
Among the notable examples of this
change of front might be mentioned
where strikers in the oil fields ap-
pealed to the state for military pro-
lection. To come closer home, it will
be recalled that miners in the Pitts
burg coal field asked Kansas to send
her soldiers down there.
Labor also is beginning to awaken
to the fact that it can utilize the in
is illustrated by the granting in New
York the other day, for the first time
in American history. of an injunction
to a labor union against an employ
ers' association.
The International Ladies' Garment
Workers contended that the manu-
facturers' association was conspiring
to induce or compel individual en-
pioyers to break agreements with the
union, and thus was doing the union
irreparable harm. The facts were
cited, the precedents for judicial ac-
ton in analogous cases where employ
ers sought protection was overwhelm-
ing. The court issued an injunction
restraining the manufacturers from
changing working conditions and low
ering wages in violations of existing
contracts, and from declaring lock
outs"
In the attempt to end the check
Off system in the coal mines by in
junction, Judge A. B. Anderson was
reversed by the higher court. Judge
Anderson had served notice on en-
ployers not to withhold from miners
ages the union dues and other as
sessments levied by union leaders.
The miners union fought the temper
airy injunction in court and won.
Reverting to the case of the gar
ment workers union, it is worth not

Untermyer and Morris Hillquit, two
of the brightest lawyers in the coun-

city Tribune that unionized labor

Sir-Let me also ask you to read,
at least. Figures of Earth by the
much discussed Cabell, and read it in
a Observation-Disclosures attitude before
you confirm your opinion. If your
stand in this matter is a pose against
another writing man who you feel has
been oo-,greatly lauded thru an un-
toward incident. 1 feel it is poorly
chosen by you who have made a read
ing public for yourself by your sensi-
bie,-well-taken stands. In "Jurgen"

personalities that will live. Get on

''Dunsany'' or It'll Eulenspiegel" if
you have. ]. r. ].
Great horned toads, do we have-to
go over that again? Cabell bores US
stiff; and, besides that, we can't I'M
derstand him. If We could understand
him, we should not care for his stuff:
1t is a form of literary exercise which
does not appeal to the high low-brow.
Is it pose to say so? However, we
thank J. R. j for the ad.
Our own system of reading is so
simple and satisfactory that we are
disposed to divulge it. If a thing
neither interests nor entertains we
don't read it. When we bog down in
book we throw it away. Nobody gets
anything from the printed word if the
reading of it involves him in mental
travail. 1t is of no value to know a
thing if one doesn't care anything
about it after he has learned it.
Minor writing men are always read
ing major writing men in the hope
that they may improve their style.
Often the result is disastrous. We
once knew a very promising young
writing man who conceived the idea
of reading Dickens for style. He sat
up nights and stayed home on holidays
to read Dickens. By the time he had
finished his course he had stopped
writing himself, and was giving. in
stead a very poor imitation of Dick
ems. And he never did recover his
pristine Wallop.

KNOWS MACHINES HE BUILDS
Head Of Great Locomotive Works Has
More Than Business Acumen to
His Credit

On hot day last summer all ex-
press train between Philadelphia and
New York came to joltlng halt, says
Nations Business. The passengers
first iOked, then grumbled, then grew
impatient. A big man, white-haired,
but youthful in motion, climbed down
from a chaircar and marched up to
the engine, which was the center of
ring Of passengers.
Whats wrong?" he asked.
In effect, the engineer said chat the
engine had quit and he didn't know
what the several things was the mat
ter with it.
The big man peeled Off his coat and
waistcoat and rolled UP his shirt
sleeves. Then he sort of disappeared
in the interior Of the unwilling engine
and the ring Of watching passengers
grew.
Half an hour later he emerged with
Il smudged face and grimy hands, and
said, "She's all right now" put coat
and waistcoat over his arm and
walked back to his chair car, wiping
his hands on handful of waste he'd
picked up in the cab.
She was all right, and the man who
made her all right was Samuel Mat
thews Vauclain, millionaire president
of the Baldwin Locomotive works, and
a real boss of their 10000 workmen.
