MAKER OF HOME
BREW DUMPS TT
DOWN THE DRAIN

The saddest words of tongue or
pen. at might have BEEN" were re-
peated by Reuben Lebouitz Satur-
day afternoon as he toiled in the
city hall garage, emptying into the
drain $3.50 worth of beer he him-
self had made.
9That was the penalty exacted by
Judge r. ]. Landee in the county
court last week, when he put Lee
bouitz on parole and ordered aim
to dispose of nearly two thousand
bottles of beer seized by the po-
lice two weeks ago when Leboultz. s
place, Az Ninth street, was raided.
Lebouitz was arrested for manu-
featuring the beverage and having
it in his possession. Officials say
the test of his oldest stuff showed
about / per cent alcohol.
Reuben thought that the amount
of beer taken by the officer from
his place would be worth about
$3.50.
Pedestrians who smelled the old
time brewery odor emanating from
the omen doors of the city hall ga=
rage late Saturday afternoon and
into the evening made many con-
lectures as to its source. Little
did they guess the sardonic pen
ance Lebouitz was undergoing, that
he was Iaboriously opening bottle
by bottle, the home brew, and al
lowing it to trickle down the sew
er. But yesterday the huge heap OF
cases and sacks full of bottles
which had taken up one side of the
garage, to the inconvenience of the
city mechanics, for many days, was
gone and only some bottle caps in
the alley and a faint hop-yeast odor
on the floor remained of the Lee
bouitz beer supply.

The Real Issue.

The real issue in the railroad
strike so far as it has gone and so
far as ii is threatened, is not whether
the wages decreed by the Railroad
Labor Board are absolutely fair, but
whether a decision by duly consti-
tuted government tribunal shall be
observed. 1t is question of law and
order.
No one will question for mo-
ment the right of any individual
workman to quit his job at any time
for any reason, but quitting by con-
certed action for the purpose of OBJ
structing transportation and coercing
the nation is an entirely different
thing. The United States govern
ment, which limits the charges a rail-
way may impose for its service, has
also undertaken to supervise, thru
the Railroad Labor Board, the wages
the roads shall pay. This is done in
order to protect both the workers and
the public. 1t was an attempt to as
sure nearer approach to justice
than has ever been attained before.
The need for this was indicated in
letter written by Warren G. Harding
while still a member of the senate.
He said:
''lf the government, representing
all the people cannot guarantee
transportation service under any and
all conditions, it fails utterly. If that
same government cannot provide
just consideration of the workmen
operating the transportation system,
it fails again. 1t ought and must do
both"
1t may be fairly assumed that the
present Harding policy is set forth in
that quotation. The government must
not only assure the workmen just
consideration, but, having done that,
it must guarantee transportation SER
vice under any and all conditions. !"
Whatever course the railway work.
ers may take, it is safe to assert that
trains will be run if Mr.. Harding
continues to be president.-Pendle-
ton Tribune.

How About It?

The railroad brotherhoods will es-
tablish the Transportation National
Bank of Minneapolis in the city Of
Minneapolis. 1t will open Septem-
Der with capital Of 100000 and
will be patterned after the Big Four
brotherhood bank at Cleveland. Div
idends to stock holders are TO be lin
tied to 10 per cent.
1t would be interesting to know
how the brotherhood officials would
like to have their rate of return reg
ulated by law far below 10 per cent
as are railroads and public utilities
and also how they would like to have
the wage and working conditions Of
their institutions established by leg
islation.
As the leaders of the big railroad
unions are strong advocates Of gov
ernment ownership and public regu-
lation OF the other fellow, how would
they like a dose of the same medicine
for their own financial undertakings
instead of being left free as they
now are to manage their own bank
in accordance with their own ideas
and to establish rate Of return
which they deem satisfactory instead
of having such return established by
third parties having no financial in
terest or responsibility in the bank

What Of America?
Rich, luxury loving, money grab
bing, politically corrupt, lawleSs Am
erica. Land of liberty, land of sac
ri6ce, land Of soldier dead, of patriot
devotion, of patriot ideals sealed on
50 many heroic fields, watched over
now BY the cold, inanimate monu-
meutS that are Americas last re-
naming sentinelS.
The most lswleSS country in the
world. A country of universal cyni-
oism, SkepticiSm and inhuman ma.
terialiSm. A country that raises a
stately memorial to Abraham Lin
coin and forgets or openly jeers at
his teaching, A country where class
hates class and class arms againt
class, shooting and lynching and
burning and dynamiting while the
law looks on and the public is so
Indifferent that it even looks away.
A country that throws open its gates
to alien criminal and alien hired as
sassin, and where few Americans
are born, few vote and few lead.
Land of shotgun, dagger and
bomb-America! Land of lawless
might, cruelty, injustice and ribald
laughter; of sneers at mortality,
winks at patriotism and open admir-
alton at triumphant wrong.
What of America?
What of its liberty and laws, its
beliefs, faiths, sobriety and gravity
of thought and action that were the
America Of old? If this republic
could not endure half slave and half
free, can it endure half law abiding
and half lawleSs? Is there no lead
ership left to this land, on which so
much of the last hope of humanity
is fixed, TO point out the course il
is travelling and call upon it with the
voice of a Washington or a Lincoln
or Roosevelt to stay?
