SUNDAY ICE DELIVERIES.

Topeka Sunday school leaders are
passing petitions for the elimination
of Sunday ice deliveries.
This hardly can be c!assed as Sun
day school business.
On not more than nine or ten Sun
city. On these days the deliveries are
a real benefit to the citizens of the
community. Housewives should not
be required in midsummer to be
without ice on the one day of the
week when the family is most in need
of it and can enjoy it.
There are certain Sunday jobs that
cannot and should not be abolished.
If the petition passers are consistent
they will close down the Edison COM
pany, the street railway, the gasoline
filling stations, the ice cream fac
tories, the UNNECESSARY departments OF
drug stores and probably a few other
public service operations.
The Sunday schools are doing a
wonderful work in the training of
children along religious lines. The
Topeka teaching, forces are especially
original and appealing in their week
ly meetings. But their energies
should not be diverted to matters that
are of general public concern. con.
venience and necessity such as ice de-
liveries.

Altho X comes from a Democrat.
the advice on the tariff given to the
senate by Senator Jones of New Mex
leo should not be ignored. He sug-
gests that the tariff be taken out of
politics and be placed on a scientific
basis. II this we're done. however,
the subject would lose interest for a
considerable number of senators.
among whom might be mentioned
SOME from the wool producing states.
Senator Jones was not far wrong
when ne declared that lin all history
of tariff legislation there can be found
no instance where a tariff bill, during
ita consideration. received so univer-
sal condemnation as has the bill now
under consideration"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1922-08-09

Senator Carraway of Arkansas arose
in the senate a few days ago to COM
plain that a certain senator had voted
in favor OF the protective tariff on
wool while that senator is declared in
the Congressional Directory to be the
Largest producer of wool and mutton
in the world" Carraway's argument
was that this man was voting to put
money in his own pocket. thru the
protective tariff. He insisted that
when a senator votes in his own inter-
est he should disclose that fact.
While Senator Carraway was making
his protest Senator GoodIng called at
tention to the fact that Carraway had
voted for a protective duty on rice,
altho he was opposed to protection on
everything else. All OF this accentu-
Rtes the truth of General Hancock's re-
mark and illustrates the fact that an
immense amount OF log rolling is nee
essary to put over a tariff bill that
will satisfy all the interests.

THE REAL ISSUE.

There Is an issue in the shopmen's
strike that gees deeper into the labor
problem than the issues OF wages,
hours or working conditions. 1t IS
that OF who owns the job. 1t is
whether the job holder can voluntar-
lily giveNup his job and still maintain
a hold On it. On this point the diff
ference between workers and en-
ployers appears to be unreconcilable.
Probably they will never be able to
agree. Hence the necessity that it
shall be determined by arbitration, by
the courts or by some other outside
and disinterested agency. It can
never be settled by force.
There exists already a legally es-
tablished tribunal which was set up
by congress for the purpose of adju-
dicating such questions. Neither party
to the existing controversy could do
better than to leave this question to
the railroad labor board.
Whatever the decision be it prob
ably will put an end to railroad
strikes. II It should be in favor of
the workers the roads in future would
be powerless to defend themselves
against demands of employees. If 1t
should be IN favor OF the roads. EN-
pioyes would not strike unless they
were prepared to give up their jobs
permanently.
In view OF these facts the necessity
of leaving all matters OF dispute to
the labor board and abiding by its de-
cision should be apparent to both
sides. If this plan had been followed
from the time the board was estab-
lished there would have been no strike
and no seniority problem 70 be solved.
The time has come for the railroads
and the unions to back up and start
all over. Bysso doing they can elm
mate the question of who owns the
job. The title to it of the man who
remained at work could not be ques-
toned

BY EIIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young married man and have been
married a year and a half. About
year ago I lost good position
afford my wife and me living.
Her father came to our rescue and
helped monthly. Now I have a bet
ter position and we could get along
ing to stop giving us money my
father-in-law wants to go right on
with it and says we could do so
many more things and we could
even buy a machine, 1t seems to
me 1 cannot accept such a thing.
1t is hard enough on my pride to
accept his help when II was impos-
sible to get along on what 1 earned,
but now I simply can't do it. My
wife says it gives her father plea
sure to see US use his money and
she can't see why we should not
enjoy it now just as well as after
he Is dead.
I don't want to be stubborn, but
I don't want to take the money. Do
you think l ought to do it?
ARTHUR IT.
You are right in wanting to live
on what you yourself can earn. Stand
on your own feet and become a sue
cess because you are a capable and
conscientious man. L am sure that
in the end your wife will love you
more if YOU have been independent
you can give her instead of the bounty
furnished by her father. In a way
her father is kind in wanting to help
you, but he is spelling You and his
daughter.
Dear Mrs Thompson: I am fiji
teen years old and have had one boy
friend, but he has stopped going with
me and is going with another girl.
My chum is just the same age and
she with n lot of hOYR.s Her
mother doesn't seem to care, but my
mother says she is glad I am not
going with-boys when 1 am so young.
1 feel very lonesome and would like
to win some boy. What can 1 do.
LOUISE.
Your mother is right; you are too
young to go with boys. Enjoy your
girl friends and try not to think about
boys for a year or two. Probably be-
fore you know it another boy will
take an interest in you of his own ac-
cord, which will be much better than
for you to try to win a boy.

JUST FOLKS
THE PURPOSE.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST

THE PURPOSE.
Ten thousand born to hew and haul,
To dig the trench and build the wall,
Face dreary duties day by day,
Fashion the steel and mold the clay,
Bear sorrow's hurt and failures blow.
Keen disappofntments bitter sting
And seek thru life's long wandering
What oft but very vague appears,
The purpose of mans term of years
Stripped of the pomp of outward pride,
In city walls, by country side,
All men piece out of pain and strife
Some patchwork of the joy of life.
A few to Leadership attain.
But most of rs uncheered remain,
Bearing the duties OF the day,
Checking the years that pass away,
Adding our little mites unto
The work mankind is called to do
What do we reap from all the years
Of strife and bitterness and tears?
A bit OF laughter hera and there,
A ribbon for the wife to wear.
Her smile OF welcome and caress,
These are the threads of happiness.
True friends whose voices ring with chez
Make sweet the days OF toiIlng here,
AND to possess a baby's smile
Makes every hour OF care worth while.
We should regret a baby's birth
II care and anguish ruled the earth
Yet worldwide over smiles OF joy
Welcome the newborn girl or boy
Into this realm of 3ife where tears
And pain and burdens scar the years.
Because. with oil we've known and met,
The trials that have made Us fret,
The disappointment and defeat,
Life to the human heart is sweet
