Kansas has some peculiar laws In rela-
ton 10 striluee and other labor dis
putee-it would not he Kansas without
some freak laws-and one OF them for
bids expressions Of PUBLIC sentiment
during the progress OF labor disputes.
Editor White violated this law by plac-
Ing a sympathetic labor plscard IN the
window OF his newspaper Office. and
Governor Allen ordered his arrest.
Alien and White have been bosom
friends for many years, but this oon-
troversy does not seem in any way 20
strain their amicable relations. The
governor says Bill is a good fellow"
and "Bill" assures the public, through
the columns of his paper. that the
governor u perfectly right In doing

AND COAL
PRODUCTION

The per cent emergency immigra-
ton law is n factor in the coal strike
whose Importance is not sufficiently
recognized.
For years the coal operators do
pended on foreign labor TO perform
the unskilled work necessary In the
profitable mining OF coal. The new
Corners would drift into the mines and
remain long enough IS learn a little
English and something of our standard
of living and then forge on to mere
congenial and better paid work. But
always they were replaced by new
corners, immigrants willing TO start at
the bottom of our American ladder.
Now there is no host of newcomers
waiting to replace those who are un-
willing to work for the wages offered.
The restrictive immigration law acts
as bar to the profitable operation Of
our coal mines and similar industries
Until the law is repealed it will be a
constant source OF labor trouble. for
capital will find difficulty in getting
Americanized workers fer the plants

DEBS STIRRING UP STRIFE,

Just as Debs endenvored TO obstruct
the government in the prosecution of
tho war with Germany so he is now
endeavoring to obstruct 1t in any eff
fort it may make to repress violence
by bodies of strikers. He is the same
old Debs. and nothing can change
him. The prison term he had to serve
for an offense amounting to treason
has had no perceptible effect on him
The pardon which many thought was
unwisely extended to him has not
softened his bitterness of feeling. He
'seizes an occasion when, II ever, pru-
dence and selfrestraint are demanded
to stir up class hatred and provoke
armed conflict. For if that is not the
consequence of his plea to the strik-
ing union men. to strike together
vote together and fight together" it
will not be his fault
His language is provocative. There
has been some slight disorder" he
says, and few scabs have been
hurt" Thus almost gaily he dismisses
such episodes as Herrin and Clifton
Vile. They are nothing in comparison
with the use OF armed forces, State
or Federal, to restore order. you
will have no trouble in guessing" hi
says, what kind of action is thus
meant. Now that the war is over
and kaiserism is dead, and democra-
cy and liberty are on top, this sam,
same crowd to a man, TO whom yo,
rallied in such frenzy OF enthusiasm
to compensate you for your notable
patriotism, is now lined up agains
you in battle array and ready to shoe
you down like dogs" Such is tn
Debs version of the protection by tn

High chair days arc tho best OF all.
Or so they poem to me.
Days when tumbler and platter fall
And the King smiles merrily:
When the regal arms and the regal feet
A constant pattcr OF music beat.
And the grown-ups bow in a gracious
way
To the high-chair monarch who rules
the day.
High-chair days. and the throne not
dressed
In golden or purple hue,
But an old style thing. let It be con-
fessed.
His grandmother used TO use;
It's legs are ecarred and a trife bowed,
But the king who sits on the chair is
proud.
And he throws his rattle and silver cur
For the Joy OF making US pick them
up.
The old high chair in the dining room
is a handsomer thing by far
Than the costly chairs in the lonely
gloom
OF the childless mansions are,
For the sweetest laughter the worlc
has known
Comes day by day from that humbl,
throne
And the happiest tables. morn ano
night,
Have high chair placed at the moth
er's right.
The old high chair IL a Joy sublime
| Yet It brings us its hour OF pain,
For we've put it away from time +
time,
Perhaps never to need It again,
Yet God was good, and the angel
! tapped.
And again was the old high chair un
wrapped
And proud WAS when heard the ca
To bring it back 10 the dining hall.
There are griefs to meet and cares I
Through the years that lie ahead.
The proudest monarch must lose h
place
And lie with the splendid dead;
/ know there are blows shall ha,
to meet,
. must pay with the bitter for all life

When forever the high chair go

there is not a purchaser OF clothing in
