WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. I'll
Out of the industrial controversies
that have racked the country for the
last year and threatened a crisis dur
ing recent weeks two distinct schools
Of thought have developed. One IS
militant; tht other, pacifist. One is
inslstent that the time has come TO
fight to finish the differences between
capital and labor or between the I'M
ions and the antiunion element. The
other contends that the psychological
hour has arrived to stop fighting-to
effect an armistice and negotiate a
peace that will be permanent.
Of the two schools the militant has
been more largely in evidence and has
asserted its views the more vehement
ly. 1t would appear to be the strong
er numerically. Strangely enough its
membership runs from one extreme to
another, including both the ultra-con-
servativeS or reactionaries who be-
lieve in the absolute capitalistic domi-
nation of industry and those immoder-
ate radicals who would destroy prac-
tically all our existing social, econo-
mic and political institutions.

Mrs. L. NJ. Turner, formerly Eva l.
Nicholson, of 1895 Sheridan St, this
city, has been suffering for several
years with nervousness and was sub
ject to fainting spells that would come
on her at most inconvenient times and
places, finally she discovered about
eight months ago that she was carry
ing tape worm in her system that
was causing all her trouble Mrs. Turn
er mas tried seven times since then,
with local remedies, to remove this
parac1te that was making a wreck of
her, and the only result was that she
got worse instead of better, finally she
attended the free show that Redwood,
the Indian medicine man, is giving
and bought a bottle of his Tepee Herb.

afternoon Mrs. Turner passed a tape
worm SO feet long, head and all and is
feeling better than in several years.
Redwood says that his medicine NOT
only removes all kinds of worms and
paracltes from the intestinal tract, but
is for the blood, stomach, liver, kid
neys and bowels also. Tepee Tonic
is sold at the Quigley durg store, 81

wonderful display in the window Of
the Quigley store on Main near Eighth

lenses against law and order, and the
average good citizens idea of the way
to deal with such lawlessness is to
stamp it out, room and branch. And
many such a man has been betrayed
by his righteous indignation into max
ing declarations fully as incendiary
and subversive of law and order as
those things Of which he complains.
The radicals or reds" are militant
because that is their creed. They seek
to overturn existing forms of govern
ment and social organization and they
know no better way of bringing this
about than through a finish fight be
tween capital and labor. They are the
ones who commit or incite and are re-
sponsible for practically all the law
lessness that is so inexcusable and so
disastrous to the cause of labor.
Those Who Would
Stop Fighting.
The other school of thought-those
who would end the industrial conflict
by involving ways and means of set
tllng differences without fighting
them out to a finish-includes stu
dents OF the problem of industrial re-
latlons, employers who view the re-
latlon of capital and labor in the light
OF a partnership, and government Of
1lclals who have tackled the Job OF

Ripping Rhymes

ANGER

In anger I rose, in the face of my
foes, and called them some sumptuous
names; l said they were fit for the
bottomless pit, and sinful and dark
were their games. My enemies smiled
at my eIoquence wild, and said that
my statements were fibs; they weren't
disturbed by my passions uncurbed,
for wind doesn't break any ribs. They
all went away to their work or their
play, to movie or office or home; and
if they recalled how I Numbered and
bawled, they thought l had bats in
my dome. But l have been sick since
l made the big kick, I'm loaded with
three-cornered pains; it's bad for a
jay when he's withered and gray, if
his blood ups and boils in his veins.
My nerves are unstrung since / brand
ished my tongue, and sleep has de-
serted my couch; my appetite's gone

ghost of my crouch The doctor re-

Fight 1t Out Or Stop Fighting
Militant and Pacfist Schools of Thought Developed by
Great Industrial Conflicts.

Between these two extremes the
membership of this element is recruit
ed from the fighting men capital en-
gagged in the management of industry,
from the ranks of the employers, large
and small, who have always been rest
i've under the compulsion of dealing
with the unions and union leaders, and
from the public group that suffers in
convenience or loss as a result of the
ever-reoccurring conflicts between
capital and labor.
The ultra-conservatives of capital
say that the hope of civilization lies
in the perpetuation of the existing or
der of things, and that this means that
the growing power of unions and IN
ionism must be crushed, at least to the
extent of making it impossible for any
combination of workers to grow so
strong as to be able TO interfere with
capitals absolute domination of in
dustry.
The fighting men in management
are even more jealous of the rights OF
capital than capital itself Moreover,
they have a personal interest in max
ing good in their executive positions
and instinctively they resent and re-
sist any attempt on the part of labor
to assert voice in the control of in
dustry. The employers who have al
ways been FESTIVE under the compul-
sion of dealing with unions believe
that the man who has a job to give has
the right to fix the wage and condi.
tons of the work, and labor can take il
or leave it, as their saying goes. Their
dealing with unions has always been a
| matter of concession, rather than CO
operation, and it is human nature not
to want to make concessions.
Public Sentiment

O. Was gunpowder known or used
before guns were invented?-A. T. W.
A Older historians agree that gun
powder was known before it was ap-
piled for use in guns. All the COM
ponents and mixtures for Greek fire,
similar to gunpowder, were known as
early as 1890. Guttman, who has
made an exhaustive study of the sub
iect, says that "gunpowder was grad
ualiy developed from Greek fire, and
was known years before cannon and
guns were thought of. The use OF
purer materials in making it, devel-
oped its propulsive power and led to
the subsequent invention of cannons
and guns The Arabians were the
first to make gunpowder like mixtures,
probably about 1880 A. D., while the
idea of using their propulsive force,
that is the invention of guns and can
mons, belongs to the monk, Berthold
Schwartz, of Freiburg, SaXony; the
date of the latter invention being
probably 1913 A. D." 1t is accepted
as indisputable that gunpowder mills
existed at Augsburg, Germany, in
1910. and at Sandau, Germany, in
1874, while the English used gun
powder in guns at the battle of
Creecy, in 1916.
@. When was the first worlds fair
held?-R. Z.
A. The first industrial exposition
in which all nations might participate
was that held in the Crystal palace,
London, from May 1 to Oct. /, 1851.
France held an Exposition Universellc
in 1855 and in 1862 the English had
their second great international expo
sition in London.
@. By what right can they throw
g man out of public meeting?-J.

A. Those who convene meetings
have under the law the right to expel
Objectionable persons, providing they
use only such force as is necessary
for that purpose.

We often wonder what kind of an
ambassador our old friend H. L.
Mencken would make. Inasmuch as
he has the sometimes unhappy faculty
of telling the truth, he might not be
so good. George Harvey got into a
peck of trouble when he first went
over there by telling the truth. This
is something diplomat should not do
We do not mean to say that he should
lie, but when it comes to telling the
truth about any subject the real di-
plomat should change the subject.
Mencken who is now over there, new
er takes the trouble to change the sub
ject He believes it is easier to say
what he thinks than to hunt around for
some insane subject about which he
can equivocate When our cousins
heard that Macken was coming over to
see them they arranged to have very
good time indeed, and Mencken is not
disappointing them. He is giving a
good performance and, not being in
any official capacity at all, he can go
as far as he likes.

said as soon as he landed. We don't

probably the most interesting caller
