COLD COMFORT FOR RAD1cAL1sM.

There is cold comfort dor the radicals within
and without the various groups which are to be
found in this country in the message of President
Harding to congress on the industrial situation.
With the facts of a long period Of disturbance plain
1y before him, and with ample time to digest them
the president denounces i'll terms which there is no
some of the more conspicuous of the outs
RACES which have characterized both coal and rail
strikes during the past weeks, and which attempts
have been made to excuse or paliiate. With com
impartiality the president tells what he
thinks Of the murders at Herrin in connection with
the coal controversy, end of the act of railway men
IN leaving passenger trains abandoned on the Ari-
iona desert. And what he thinks is not compli-
~nientary either to the men who committed those
acts or to those who, directly or indirectly have in
Dictated a sympathetic attitude toward them.
The presidents message calls the attention Of
congress to conditions which exist. He declares it
to be the duty of the government, and the govern
ment's purpose, so far as he is concerned, to protect
the man who wants to work lin his right to work,
and the people WHO need the service of coal pro-
dueers and transportation agencies in enjoying that
service.
Lest the patching up OF a truce in the coal in
dustry should be made the occasion for negligence
IN this matter, the attention of congress is directed
to the fact that the present or prospective condition
is only that Of truce, with nothing to hinder the out
break OF fresh h%ostilities next April. In connection
with the rail situation he declares that the country
must have transportation, and> that transportation
must be provided, in spite of the failure of railroad
employers and employees to agree OH terms.
The message presents no demand for specific
legislation intended to provide adequate and per-
manent relief. That is the business Of congress, and
congress cannot evade the duty which is before it..
1t is the business Of congress to initiate and carry
through legislation which will deal properly with
the situation. If congress does not know what
should be done, it is time for congress to find out:
This business is of more Importance than tariff,
bonus, subsidy, or anything else over which con-
gress is in the habit of squabbling.

TWO POLICIES coNrRAsTED.

In striking contrast are the attitudes of the
former governor and the present governor Of North
Dakota toward the wage Garner, and especially the
transient farm labeIer. g ,,s
Governor Frazier during his entire adr,inistra-
ton played into the hands Of the I. w. w. BY OK
hibiting a sympathetic attitude toward the agitaters
OF that organization, and IN spite Of the fact that
during his administrator each harvest witnessed
the INVASION of the state by large numbers of men Of
this class, and that both private citizens and public
authorities found the resulting situation a most diff
feult and dangerous one to cope with, the real labor
ing man, who sought to earn an honest days wage
by delivering an honest days work on the farms Of
North Dakota received nothing in the nature of
support, protection or friendly counsel from the man
who sat ir1tthe governors chair at Bismarck. On the
contrary, every u%tterance of the governor on the
subject of labor was directed toward the support of
the professional loafer and agitator, who not only
refused to work himself, but i%nterfered with the
right of other men to work peacefully.
Governor Nestos approaches the subject from a
different angle, and in a different spirit. He rec
ognizes the tactic which his predecessor delibcr-
ate1y closed his eyes-that in the harvest season the
state is invaded by a horde of undesirables who
hang upon the outskirts Of real labor, and impede
and menace it at every turn, and he speaks out man
fully in calling the attention of local authorities to
the duty Of preserving law and order, and Of taking
such steps as may be necessary to relieve both the
permanent resident and the transient working man
Of the menace which exists in the activities Of the
thugs, loafers and criminals Of many types who fol-
low the harvest and the harvesters, preying on hon.
est labor and on those who are able to provide labor
with employment.
The difference between the two men, as be-
tween their attitudes, is fundamental. Their atti-
tudes are different because the men are different.
The one partakes of the spirit Of the socialist agi-
tator, while the other is concerned in the %construc-
tive development of the state.

A REAL EDUCATIONAL TEST.

The state of New York has two educational
tests for voters. one practically worthless, and the
other capable of being made very much worth while.
The first of these provides that the applicant
shall be able to read "intelligibly," that is, in a man
ner to be understood, certain selections from the
constitution, to be prescribed by proper authority.
The presumption is that the selections will be desig-
mated under the authority of the secretary Of state.
1t is evident that the candidate may pass muster be-
fore a riendlysinspScto without any real knowledge
of the meaning OF the words which he pronourfeed,
and that an unfriendly inspector may disqualify i
person who is we'll fitted to vote. As 4 matter of
fact, any educational test which is applied at the
polling place is apt to be a farce. The qualifications
Of the individual sh0pld be ascertained in advance,
under conditions which will permit a real investipa-
ton Of his fitness.
q The other provision in the New York law has
in it the germs Of something useful. The applicant
may qualify without examination at the polls upon
the presentation OF a certificate testifying that he
has passed the simple examinations for which the
statute providesyrand which is held at another time
and place. The provisions Of this statute appear to
be crude md inadequate. but there il III icast the
attempt to apply ! sound principle.

BY FREDERIC ]. HAsK1N.

Washington, d. c.. Aug. 16.-Have
You. n Noticed the wax ladies' in the shop
windows lately? That IL. really q trick
question. because the wax ladies take
a long vacation every year. Being
wax they simply cannot stand the hot
summer sun for any length Of time.
But when you do see the patricians of
the show windows on display 4Eain
take q hard look at them. Ten to
one they are entirely different from
your mental picture of q typical wax
model.
The fact is the typical wax model
with its s%aceharine smile. its baby doll
expression. and Its eyelashes thick as
teoth brushes, is now declasse. In its
place has come q wax figure that Is
still sweetly beautiful. but much more
human looking. Each n has tho
pink cheeks and ruby lips that come
out Of q bottle fer wax as well as hui
man faces. But each figure is mod
eled from life, as q statue is and the
features Of h modal are faithfully
reproduced. One figure offered to the
display mel this yea IL a wax bath
ing beauty modelled from a champion
swimmer with Mary Piekford curls.>
In the. property room Of a big de-
partment store O sceFe or more Of
these highest types OF waxen pulchri-
tude may be, seen. In one small case
a window trimmer pointed out about
$4,000 worth OF wax.
: There. was one head of a. Spanish
type OF beauty. This q lady would
rank high iniany beauty contest, and
dressed in an expensive freck she
would undoubtedly be. triumph. Yet
she had rather strong features, and
a nose that was a trifle irregular
when viewed at clese range. &C
Her neighbor in the case, wore gray
hair to- represent a woman Of about
fifty years. This naAtron was even
more unusual for a figure than
the black haired debutante. She
had the perfect compilation and the
sroomed society woman. But she ALSO
had two distinct chine, and there
were ridges on the sides Of the nose
where eye elassesrhad pressed against
the bridge. This model usually wears
glassee when she appears in public to
show how q mature woman should
look at a bridge party or on a m OF
trip. :

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.
On the Saturday afternoon proceed

annual river marathon was held. The

for the geod time was the lack Of
glare. the day having been cloudy. z

are! And now you are being told
that you can have too much Of a good
thing. Because some doctor advises
q teaspoonful Of salts. is that any
reason for taking an ounce, or half a

Light is something like a, compound
