HOW They
Win Strikes

~ HE Italian Government pun
ishes fifty thousand railroad
men for participating in a
general strike. The fifty thousand
have been suspended or perma-
nently dismissed. That plan has
been suggested for the United
States, but it wouldn't work here
under our laws.
However, there ought to be pun
ishment for any worker stupid and
heartless enough to leave trainloads
, of passengers, with whom they have
no quarrel, stranded on the tracks
with the thermometer near 100.
That is not striking-it is brutality
and stupidity mixed, and some law
ought to prevent it.
The President says workmen have
the right to stop work when they
choose. But they have no right to
betray a trust once undertaken.
When they leave the station with a
trainload of passengers it is their
duty to land them at their destina-
tion, as it is the duty of a ship
captain to land his passengers.
Owners of railroads, and other
big employers intent on destroying
unions entirely, or in winning indi-
vidual strikes, will tell you every
time:
"For our victory. we rely chiefly
on the stupidities and blunders of
the strikers. Give them time and
they will do something that will
turn the public against them"
Intelligent workmen, and leaders
with intelligence, know that, unfor-
tunately, there is too often truth in
that statement.

There IL q certain type Of
woman that gets its name Of

q purring smoothness It conceals
q sharp and treacherous cruelty.

includes the most beautiful and
the most bloodthirsty. The lion,

Gr0lDn Up Industries
IT is refreshing to hear New York
and Massachusetts, Senators de-
clarinR that the boot and shoe


and Massachusetts, Senators de.
i claring that the boot and shoe
industry needs no protection. So
boots and shoes are on the free list.
Here is a rare industry which has
realized the object for which the
protective tariff is granted to
American manufacturers.
American wages are higher than
European because our standards of
living are higher, and we want to
keep them so.
Therefore few American indus
tries could have started in competi-
tion with long-established rivals in
Europe except by the help Of a
tariff.
Manufacturers claimed that Amer
ican labor was more expensive, but
more efficient. Hence, it would
produce goods to sell as cheaply as
Europe, once our labor got trained
to use the superior machinery
Americans would invent.
That is, they promised the infant
industry would grow up, hop out
Of the protective tariffs baby car,
riage, and walk alone. So boots
and shoes have done.
Other "infant" industries like
woolen cloth and steel, have been
combined into trusts and are chronic
victims Of the dropsy of watered
capital.
They left the baby carriage for
the permanent invalid's chair.
But boots and shoes stand on
their own feet. May their tribe in
crease.

The Fear of Life

IT sometimes seems as If the senti-
ment were becoming these days
i more common that life is too
much for us.
1t is ghastly thing if, with all
our culture, we arrived at last only
at the end that would make life so
complex and terrible a thing that
death would be preferable.
Ask the next dozen intelligent
people you meet if they would be
glad to live their lives over. We,
venture to say that few of them
would unqualifyingly say eyes"
This state of affairs is rather to
be expected when we take into con-
sideration that almost all of the
leaders Of literature are more or
less pessimistic, if not cynical.
The contempt of life seems to be
rather an important cult.
The secret of all this is quite
simple.
Life is worth living in proper
tion to the amount of happiness
which it secretes.
And the amount of happiness
produced by any given life is ex-
actly proportionate to the amount
Of self-discipline it has learned.
And this is an age of reaction
against discipline of any kind.
whether from ones self or any
body else.
Pessimism is by-product of self
indulgence. Cynicism is the shadow
Of a disordered and masterless
mind.
The old Puritan, grim and stead
fast as he was, got more joy out
of living and more pleasure from
seeing the pleasant sun than the
dawdling anemic who sits up half
the night slipping booze, sucking
cigarettes, and writing world-weary
reflections for The Smart Set.
The prevalent sentiment among
the younger generation that the
greatest of all calamities is sorrow
and that the negation of life is bet
ter than life of trial is indeed
alarming. It would indicate that
the race is getting softening of the
backbone.
Not the least alarming symptom
is that so many people seem happy
only during the few brief moments
Of escape from the problems Of life,
as though life itself contains no in
herent joy.
1t would seem that the world
had experimental long enough to
find out that the multiplication Of
things and the deliberate search
for felicity never bring happiness,
but that it is rather simply the nor
NAL condition of a self-mastered
and well-adjusted life.
Happiness Is repose," said Tur.

Something to Think About
by Bruno IeSSlng-
WHAT WOMEN ARE LIKE.

THE clever writer Of the
l. STARS and Stripes" pro-
vides an alluring theme.
Women" says he. ARE like
cigars. There's many a sweet
filler inside a cheap wrapper"
Right-O! Real truth told in a
good Jest. Women. in some re-
spects. are exactly like cigars.
But in other respects they are
like q lake, a mountain. a To-
comotive, an ocean. "a violet by
a messy stone, half hidden from
the eye" a volcano. a Beethoven
sonata, an attack Of indigestion,
the heights of Olympus and an
epidemic Of smallpox. All ac-
cording to how, when. where
and why.
The Washington times., 1922-08-21

TlHEN there are all kinds Of
l. cigars. from Wheeling
stogies to q rich Havana perfec-
to. Some have good wrappers
and poor filters, some have poor
wrappers and good filters, some
are good all the way through
and some are pure trash all the
way through. And II you have
lived long enough in this world
you probably know just those
kinds Of women.

This monster sneep was last seen
alive five years ago on the western
slope of the Rockies just outside the
boundary of the park. Many big
game hunters tales of this huge ram
were often laughed at as fabrication
by other hunters who had not enjoyed
the good fortune of seeing the animal.
The recovery of the "big head how
ever. now brings vindication to many
hunters who had described the animal
as having been much larger than a
Shetland pony.
The Blackfeet Indians always had
religious regard for the existence of
this mammoth animal, and they never
would try to kill it, They attached
legends to the giant ram and contend
