GOING TOO FAR.

While the Federal authorities will
be justified In going to any extent in
enforcing the terms of the injunction
against strike violence granted by
Judge Wilkerson in Chicago, those
who endeavor to suppress lawful criti-
cism OF the propriety of the courts
order are even more autocratic and
arbitrary than those who openly defy
the injunction. The law is not beyond
just criticism, even though it should
be obeyed by all.
The editor of labor paper in Mem
phis. Tenn, violated the injunction
and was arrested. The editor OF the
Memphis Press, G. ". Sanders, made
this arrest the text of an editorial in
which he argued that the injunction
was a violation of the Constitution.
For this he has been cited to appear
before Federal Court to answer a
charge of contempt. +
| Here is a proceeding that should be
estopped without further hearing.
Criticism Of the propriety or legality
of the injunction is not lawless, so
long as it stops short of actual viola
ton Of the courts formal order. The
law is not so hallowed that it is TO
be held as above all criticism, although
it should be obeyed implicitly or Of
tenders who violate 1t made to suffer
punishment, as long as 1t remains in
force.
Those agents of the government
who go to such extreme measures In
an endeavor to suppress honest criti-
cism of public matters are as much
the enemies Of law and order as those
who would punish Judge WilkersoI
of Chicago for issuing the injunction
or impeach Attorney General Daugh
erty for asking for it. The judge hat
a right to issue it, and it is the dut,

A true case of the bargaining fever
is described by the London Daily News.
In order to secure a 30s. costume ad-
vertised for rs. lid. at Walton-on-
Thames diapers sale, a woman arrived
at $3.50 in the morning and guarded the
door handles.
She was equipped with a stool and
friends came and brought her refresh
ments.
Although she was so early, however.
she was only just in time, for by 4
a. m. eight other women arrived.
Finding they had been forestalled,
the eight women returned home, leav-
ing the $50 a. m. woman in triumph

And she got the costume.

JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest.
THE TEST OF FAITH.
Copysight 1922 by Edgar A Guest

Laughter and music
And sunshine and mirth,
Blossoms to border
The pathways Of earth,
And after the dancing
And after the song,
Day brings the burdens
To carry along.
Burdens Of duty
And burdens Of grief.
Trials to test us
And prove our belief,
Long roads to travel
And long hours Of pain,
But always to sunshine
And laughter again.
Each has his burden
OF something to bear,
Each has his moments
OF doubt and despair;
Creeds cannot save us
The ultimate test.
They can but help us
To live in our best.
Blue skies above us,
The peace of a smile,
Then the clouds gather
To lnger awhile;
Heartache and anguish
And pitiful need
Pour down the acid
On every mans creed.
We who profess
In our God tc believe,
Bravely must trust Him
Whenever we grieve.
This is ife's story,
And every mans share:
After the laughter
Come burdens TO bear.
