IN THE EYE OF THE CAMERA
By K. O'Daker

Last advice is to the effect that
the Ford plant will not close down
the 18th, as coal in abundance
has been assured. Before closing
down a plant that is doing a bust
ness of 100000, 900 gross annually,
sober second thought vetoes the
idea. Henry is one of those ten
der-hearted philanthropists who de-
murs to taking his hands out of the
public's pockets.
For thirty dollars a st Louis
negro preacher told a female men,
Der of his flock that he would bring
back her husband by laying his
hands on her, but she protested
when he suggested that it would be
necessary for her to take off her
and had the parson
person arrested. The inference to
be deduced is that the preacher
believed in close communion in the
laying on Of hands.
Lovelock jurors in sentencing a
forger to ID years in the pen, while
they only hung 10 years on high
wayman, demonstrated their belief
that the pen is a more vicious
weapon than gun. Justice, most
assuredly, is a blind old bag.
The Illinois mine massacre at
Herrin was the cause of thirty-eight
men being indicted for murder,
with many more facing grand jury
The miscreants are
going to be taught that murder on
a wholesale scale is just as repre-
hensible as any other form; and it
is to be hoped that those who are
found guilty will receive punishment
to fit their crime. America must
not be proclaimed a rendezvous
for savages.
Former Vice-President Marshall
tells US that he learned, from un-
questionably reliable sources, that
there are only about 100000 bolshe-
visits in Russia. If this information
is trustworthy, Russia has nothing
on US in that line.
Wall streets belief that the shop
mems strike is no longer a serious
hindrance to the movement of
freight, finds expression in the
marked buoyance of railroad shares,
says a New York stock report. Att
that, however, it is noted that Erie
railroad stock is quoted at less than
II cents, while Famous-Players-
Lasky stock is held at 102. We sure
are SEEM things!
William G. McAdoo says he is
not in politics. Thank God, he has
found it out. The rest of us knew
he was out of the game when he
ceased functioning as the master
manhandler of the transportation
system of this country, while serv-
ing as director general of the
railroads. self-bestowed title
and, incidentally, ex-officio secre-
tary of the treasury.
Many men who staunchly advo-
cate the passage of ship subsidy
are sincerely honest in the convic-
ton that it is necessary to enable
ship owners to compete with vessels
flying foreign flags. Remove ship
owners handicaps by repeating the
laws that make it impossible for
them to hire labor on terms COM
parable with those of competitors
and the balance of US will escape
an inquitous tax, else levy tax on
foreign vessels entering our ports.
Ex-President Wilson and Mrs. Will
son graciously cheered President
Harding by paying a visit to the
White House during Mrs. Harding's
illness. We are a great people
first and last, decent American
citizens. At stated periods we rear
upon our hind legs and yelp like
coyotes to make it clear that we are
rip-snortin' Democratic or Repub-
lican partisans, but in hours of
peril or sorrow our heart-strings
chord in unison.
Shop crafts pickets and sympa-
thizers bombarded Southern Pa
cific shop employees at Bakersfield,
California, with mess of over-ripe
hen fruit yesterday. After the
melee was over many of the strike
breakers gave ocular proof Of hav-
ing a yellow streak down their
backs.
