In calling a strfkeof the 400, 900 rail-
road shopmen OF the United States.
B. NJ. Jewell, head of the railway de-
partment OF the American Federation
or labor. declares that "the issue is
clean cut" It is. 1t is whether the
members Of the union can successful
~ defy the law OF the United States or
not.
Notwithstanding frequent assertions
that the American people are show
ing a tendency to look with leniency
upon lawlessness. the fact remains
that the American people are the most
law abiding OF any in the world. They
recognize as the fundamental princi-
PIE OF American Institutions that this
IS a government by law and not by
men, and that liberty depends abso-
lutely upon the maintenance and en-
forcement OF law. This being true
there can be no hope for ultimate
success OF a general railroad strike in
defiance OF the decision of the railroad
labor board in the matter of railroad
wages.
It may be readily admitted that
perhaps the railroad labor board in its
decision did not reaL-. exact Justice
for exact Justice is impossible so long
as human infirmities continue. But II
may be safely asserted that the deci-
sion OF that board. after due consider
alton OF all the facts and circum-
stances, is a far nearer approach to
justice than can be attained by any
other means or thru any other agency
In the reductions OF wages, which
have been ordered, there is just as
much probability that the cuts were
too small as that they were too great.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State Journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs Thompson: Five years
ago 1 fell in love with a young girl
in this city and was true to her until
a year ago when a fellow went to her
home to board. She went places with
him and I asked her not to. I left her
and fell in love with another girl and
married her. Now my wife says she
doesn't love me any more and won't
to get her to live with me, but she
says she wants to be free.
The other girl has written me a
letter saying she loves me and wants
to meet me. but as 1 am a married
man 1 don't think 1 ought to meet
her, altho my wife does not live with
me and says she never will. She says
she is going to get a divorce.
What would be your advice in my
case? Would you let my wife have
'-o- . - WORRIED HUSBAND.
Something must be wrong with
the character of the girl you loved
first or she would not be writing
I would lot encourage her in any
way because If you do, you will re-
gret it later on. A girl of honor
does not write to a married man ask
ing him to meet her.
Since your wife wants a divorce so
badly. 1 would advise you to give it
to her. I do not see why you want
her to remain your wife when she is
so very ANXIOUS 10 De 1ree. OT
course it will be hard for you, because
you still seem to love her. but time
will soften your wound and you will
not miss her so much as you think
you will. Doubtless you will learn to
love again, and 1t is to be hoped
that your third venture will be more
fortunate than the other two.
Dear Mrs. Thompson. Please tell
me what is a good skin whitener.
Also what can I do to make my legs
larger; they are small for my size?
MOTHERS GIRL.
A teaspoonful OF the tincture of
benzoin 10 an ounce of rose water
forms a well known lotion, which is
excellent for whitening the skin.
Swimming would be better than
anything else to develop the legs. You
will also find it helpful to take brisk
walks daily, TO play tennis. and to
exercise in various ways. Every morn
ing and evening point your toe and
kick as high as you can. This should
be done about ten times with each leg
every time you exercise.

PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX.

An urgent appeal TO the Illinois con-
stitutional convention to eliminate
from the statutes the personal prop
erty tax is made by the Chicago News,
as follows:
Men of the constitutional conven-
ton, abandon the personal property
tax Cast it out of the newly framed
draft of the states basic law. BY so
doing you would enormously stimulate
business enterprise in Illinois. To tax
the people on the agencies by which
they make their living and upon their
stored up savings, instead of upon the
income produced thru those agencies,
is to cling stupidity to an unworkable
makeshift tax handed down to the
present day from the dark ages of
finance.
What the News says OF the personal
property tax in Illinois is as true and
forceful when applied to Kansas or to
any other state. The whole principle
of such taxation is wrong. In its exc
cution it invites fraud and a shifting
of the burden of taxation.
Chairman Edward r. Litsinger OF
the Cook county board of review has
recently called attention to the out
rageous injustice Of the personal prop
erty tax as 1t works out under pres
ent conditions OF high cost of govern
ment and correspondence high taxes.
A depositor in a savings bank whose
account at the established interest
rate Of 8 per cent brings him $40 a
year, said Mr.. Litsinger, would have to
pay in taxes on that account $40 a
year, or all the interest and $40 on
the principal, If the legal tax rate
were enforced against him. Every
other depositor would be robbed to
the same tune. This, needless to say,
is confiscation. Yet here and now the
100000 depositors in Chicago savings
banks are subject to that legalized in
fanny. How long would their deposits.
amounting in the aggregate to about
s50o,0OO,oo0, remain a source of rev.
enue to them and a source of strength
to the productive industries of this
community IL the reckless agitators
who demand the full enforcement of
the personal property tax had their
way?
The tax, II enforced, says the News,
would work ruin. Therefore it is not,
it cannot be, enforced. Why retain it
in order that it may be lodged?
A small and uniform income tax as
a substitute for the personal property
tax. It points out, would be absolutely
equitable, easily enforceable and pro-
ductive of far more revenue than is
the existing wicked old sham which if
should replace.
Tax payers in Topeka are in the
same situation as are those of Chi
cago- Bank deposits drawing but 3
per cent interest are taxed at a rate
above per cent Naturally only the
honest and conscientious citizen paws
but is It fair to penalize him for his
honesty and his thrift?

That the Herrin massacre was the
beginning of the end OF the coal strike
was pointed out by The State Journal
The calling of a conference OF union
heads and operators IN Washington
by President Harding is the second
step. Both sides have grown tired of
the strike. mainly because neither is
getting anywhere. The Herrin affair
has aroused the interest OF the pub
lie. Neither the miners nor the pub
lie can afford a repetition of the hap
penings at Herrin. An early settle
ment of the strike. temporary tho it
may be in character. may confidently
be expected. If the parties to the
controversy canRot settle It, the gov
ernment will find way to do so.

respect as any other decision by any
other governmental tribunal.
The country in presented, therefore,
with the question whether It will be
governed by lawful procedure or by
mob rule. There can be no question
whatever as to the position the great
body of American people win take.
The same government that bestowed
upon railroad men the wages they are
getting can take any part of those
wages away when It is deemed desir-
able. in the public interest, to do SO.
The power which fixes the price
that the railroads can charge for serv-
ice also can fix the price that railroad
labor can charge for service.
When the railway unions invoked
the aid of the government and OBJ
tanned the passage of the Adamson
law they raised up a Frankenstein
which threatens to destroy them.

Signs of Age-1.
BY DOROTHY DIX
vOz4d.s R1EhesG Paid Woman WrieaR.

S1RnS Oh AEsO-ls
There isn't a woman in the world
over thirty years of age who isn't on
a perpetual still-hunt for signs of age
in herself. She cannot pass a mirror
without looking in it to see if a wrin-
kle is beginning to form at the cor
ners of her eyes, or she has acquired
a tell-tale gray hair. She cannot go
by a weighing machine without hop
ping on it to find out if she is not
losing her girlish figure, or drifting
into the living skeleton class.
For age, which is a tragedy to US
all, is an -obsessing horror to woman,
and SO do they fear and dread it that
the greatest compliment you can pay
any woman is to tell her how young
she looks.
Now, women make the mistake of
thinking that the way they register
age is in their faces and figures alone.
Therefore, they spend their time, and
money, and efforts on cold cream,
and massage, and cosmetics, andSdiet-
ing. 1t never occurs to them that
age is a matter of the spirit far more
than it is of the body. and that If
they want to look young, they must
keep their souls young.
Little as they think it, 1t is more
important to rub out the wrinkles in
their dispositions than it is in their
faces. And there is more profit in
amounting their temperaments with
the oil of tolerance than in applying
A woman never dreams that she
gives away her age by her attitude
towards life far more than she does
by her appearance. but she does. For
just as Culver. the great naturalist,
could reconstruct any animal from
a single bone, so any discerning per-
son can observe a woman's talk and
conversation for a day, and tell you
how old she really is, no matter what
camouflage of youth she hides be-
hind. or how many lies she tells
about her birthday.
Perhaps the first indication that a
woman gives of age is when she be-
gins to speak of herself and her fe-
male friends as I'VE girls AS long
as a girl is a girl she never calls her
self one. She says I'VE college wom-
en-" And she affects age and So
phistication just as the woman of
thirty poses as being artless, and in
nocent
Also, when a woman gets to be
along in the thirties, she begins to
tell you how young she was when she
got married She says that she was
just a mere child, and she is very par
ticular to explain to you what she
knows about things that happened ten
or fifteen years ago, are "reminiscences
told her by her mother. A woman
never permits herself TO remember
anything that happened longer ago
