smuaaler,s Ingenious Trick.

Arthur Mason. author OF "The Fly.
ing Bo'sun." tells. apropos OF the
current news Of liquor smuggling. a
story Of very prosperous smuggler
with whom he was acquainted on the
Pacific coast number Of years ago
This mans wares we're Chinese. He
brought them In, there was no doubt
Of that But for long his professional
secret remained undiscovered. Rev
enue officers boarding him could never
find anyone but his crew. His trick
was to have some curious collars made
and nj the approach Of revenue men
he dropped his Chinese overheard In
these, securely attached by line
When all was clear he fished them up
again, apparently none the worse In
health.

of tons, maintaining standing armies
greater than they did before the war
and spending untold millions On ar
mament of every nature for future
wholesale killing and murder.
Borah says either make them at
least partially disarm or make them
pay up, and he IS just exactly right.
Why should we, tie American people,
be continually taxed to the tune of
five billions a year so we can let
those Kingdoms across the sea go on
spending the money they should pay
to us on more and more war prepare
tions? What sense Is there In that.
If any?
Late dispatches state that France
is real mad about Borahs speech, and
is not inclined to disarm, and maybe
won't even attend the disarmament
conference called by President Hard
ing. 1t wants to send lot more OF
soldiers into Silesia, and also into the
Ruhr valley of Germany, help Poland
fight Russia and keep on rubbing it in
on the Germans. Having been saved
from similar licking as they got In
1871 by the timely aid of the United
State. they are now all swelled up
again with their own Importance and
do not seem to realize that the war Is
over But they make no effort to
pay any part of the billions we loaned
them to keep their necks from being
broken.
Borah is right. Make them disam
or pay up their honest debts.

A MOMENTUOUS
OCCASION

The coming meet " of the repre-
sentatives of the world powers in this
country Is the most important move
made in many years. 1t is freighted
with the most important problems
imaginable. and questions which
come home to every one of us. In
their individual answers to these prob
lens lie the future of the nations of
today. The hour has struck which
calls for national self-sacrifice and
the sitting of the national hearts.
The main question will be the
nations throughout the ages-the
question of righteousness. The nations
of the world are not only to meet In
the United States, but at Arranged
don, where even greater things than
war must be untangled and agreed
upon. Armageddon is the fight be-
tween liberty and domination, between
purity and impurity, between selfish
ness and self-sacrifice, between the
demands of principle and the false
gods often set up in the name of prin-
ciple. Greed and lust for power must
be subdued to a large extent by ma
lions as we'll as by individuals, before
world war will cease.
1t is like the fight in heaven which
the apostle recognized as he looked
out across the waters of the AEGEAN,
with the realization that the stand of
nations. as of individuals, must be
taken sooner or later either for
Michael or the dragon.
Disarmament and peace are wanted
by everyone, so long as the United
States Is not made the goat.

the coming winter. and the outcome
Will probably be as 1t always has
Deen-the people will be robbed go-
ing and coming. A big howl has gone
up from Colorado because the coal
companies there restrict production
in order to initiate prices.
One big city paper says that surely
the coal companies would not be so
unpatriotic as to deliberately restrict
production unless they are allowed
to charge exorbitant prices, to the
government, the railroads and the
general public. Our contemporary Is
wrong in deduction. That is Just ex-
actiy what nearly all coal companies
have been doing. One Colorado COM
pany has monopoly on the coal field
OF that state. and that outfit, IL IL
said, would borrow the crown of
thorns from the crucified Savior on
the cross.
1t has no honesty and nothing but
coal territory, money, power and gall
and exercises all In the interests of
dividends, emulating all its life Van
derbilt's famous slogan-"the people
be damned" Coal will be high again
next winter. and scarce.

THE DIVIDING
UP PROCESS

Herbert Hoover, on behalf of the
United States government is offering
to assist starving Russia.
Is starvation the result of commu-
.nism? 1t looks very much that way
Dividing up the other fellows prop
erty is all right 70 long as there is
anything to divide, but In a short
time there is nothing eft for division
After wealth has been dissiparad and
industries dest Eyed, ther, is no fuel
left to feed t.'h. r the Industrial d
human machine. While n new tart
is being made from nothing millions
starve.
In mild form we have seen the re-
suit of communism in our taxation
and labor system In this nation. The
dividing up process which heavy sur
taxes and excess profits taxes were
supposed to accomplish. simply killed
developments OF new sources OF
wealth and prevented employment.
The radical labor theory of curtail-
fng production and increasing pay In
order to give work to more persons
at higher wages has at length caused
widespread unemployment due to the
fact that few persons can afford to
hire labor.
Commenting on the Russian situa-
tlon the San Francisco Bulletin says
Carlyle was right: A lie can be
passed from man to man, but no man
can pass lie on to nature. The lie
of communism has been passed from
lip to lip, from cunning brains to the
brains of ignorant people, but when
the Russian people tried to pass that
lie on to nature. back came the
answer in millions of starving men
women and children"
Our people can learn a wonderful
lesson from Russia today and profit
by its experience as we try to help
her people. The price of the lesson
to Russia has been appalling, but ma
ture has a way of teaching in a Ian
guage that admits of no mistakes.

TEACH CHILDREN
TO SWIM

When swimming becomes compul-
sorry for children, the toll of lives
taken annually by accidental drown
ing is bound to shrink to a small and
insignificant number, declares an ex-
change. What city or town will be
the first to include instruction in
swimming in its prescribed school
work?
The Boy Scouts offer an excellent
precedent No Scout can get any
where in the craft without, knowing
how to swim. Instruction In the art
is emphasized in the program of every
troop. AS a result. who hears or reads
of Boy Scout drowning? On the con-
trary, do not the newspapers fire.
Quently record Instances of Scouts
saving others from death in the
water? Their knowledge is not only
useful to themselves. but also valu-
able in keeping down a death total
which, II 1t appeared as a casualty
list from the field of battle, would ap-
pal every reader.
Thousands of drownings that occur
every year during summer months
must be classed as avoidabble acci-
dents. Ignorance of one of the sim
plest arts causes them that is ali.

Heavy Lumber Orders
Cancelled by Railroads

Discussing conditions in the lum-
Der trade, the American Lumberman
of Chicago says:
Interest of the lumber industry
| this week is centered on the action
OF the Department of Justice in
Washington in filing with the United
States Court for the Eastern District
OF Missouri a petition for an injunc-
ton against the Southern Pine As
soclatlon restraining it from holding
any further meetings, or from issu-
ing any trade barometers, cost state
ments, sales reports or from perform
ing any of its ordinary activities.
The petition for injunction is based
on a recent report of the Federal
Trade Commission upon an investi-
cation conducted in the early part of
1929 when lumber was at the peak
price. lnasmuch as prices on South
ern pine, as well as practically all
other building lumber, have rapidly
declined during the last four or five
months until they have reached a
point below the cost of production,
members of the industry are at
loss to understand this action of the
esAIllLSnG VI y uSJICSy especially as
it taken just on the eve of a change
in administration, and as the state
ments made are not in accordance
with facts as demonstrated by pres
ent conditions. Conditions in the in
dustry are far from satisfactory or
encouraging. The slight advance in
pricese recently noted did not con-
tinue and there have been further
declines. The market this week is
practically lifeless and while there is
great nedd throughout the country
for homes, it seems that prospective
builders generally are determined to
hold off until other materials and
building labor have-declined in the
same proportion as has lumber.
Railroads, which are heavy lun-
Der consumers, recently have been is
suing wholesale cancellations of or
ders for lumber, thus working a Sc
we're hardship on the industry. It is
hoped that the present, lull in lumber
demand is but temporary and that
buying will soon begin again in some
thing approaching normal volume.
Curtailment of production continues
in effect and stocks gradually are be-
ing reduced.

Being a student of the regulations
