THEY NEED A BETTER ISSUE

The proportion of our population that
worries over women who smoke has scam
ned the weeks dispatches from Wellesley
to learn the fate of two young insurrectos
after their threat to sever connections with
the semiarny there because of an abridge-
ment of their inalienable right to inhale
cigarette smoke Since details have proved
meagre it is assumed they have departed
or have been properly canned and that
Tags no longer constitute solace in Wei
lesley life save where circumstances pro-
vide an adjacent air court to carry smoke
away.
Wellesley is not automatically purged
of plague by the performance and the
two rebellious spirits do not miraculously
become unshackled young women. The
twin martyrs will continue to be bound by
thousands of other and older conventions
Their judgment also is faulty in that
they might have picked a more important
reason for revolution, one not open to so
many objections on the ground of taste.
Most reviewers of their heoric struggle
have lot of difficulty visualizing the new
woman arising, liberated and cleansed
from the ashes of dead rose-tipped Gig
arctic. The girls need more important

$500, 900, 900 BOTH WAYS

AS the governments income was di-
minished by the internal revenue law of
last year, private incomes throughout the
country were increased accordingly. The
difference in each case was about $780,
100000. We read good deal of the diff
ficulties of the Treasury in meeting its OBJ
legations, and of predicted deficit for the
end of the fiscal year. We must remem-
Der that the Republican Congress deliber-
ately denied the Treasury the revenue it
otherwise would have had in order to
stimulate business. In doing so the stabili-
ty of the country was immensely improved,
and great additions to the national wealth
was made possible by the release of capt.
tai for investment purposes. Under the
able management of Secretary Mellon,
and the economy program of Congress
and the executive, the government is max
ing the best possible financial showing
with the means at hand. Meanwhile the
strength and wealth of the country are
rapidly increasing, the better to meet any
national emergency that may present it.

EUROPE'S AWFUL BURDEN

Europe, with an area about equal to
that of the United States and possessions,
is maintaining an army more than 80 times
as great as our own military establish
ment. Latest estimates place the total of
Europeans under arms at 4,14O,OO0, while
the United States army numbers about
$4,000. In the matter of population the
comparison is almost as striking. France,
with population with about third that
of the United States, has an army about
seven times the size of ours. Greece, with
one-seventeenth the population of this
country, has an army more than twice as
large. ltaly's population is one-third that
OF the United States, but her army is 60
per cent larger. In other allied countries
the disproportion is almost equally as
great.
The excuse given by France and others
for the maintenance of those huge forces
is the threatening danger from the Central
Empires, but we find that Germany, Aus
tria, and Bulgaria together have only 16O,-
900 men under arms. Apparently the real
reason for the big allied armies is not fear
of their former enemies, but jealousies
among the allied governments themselves.
The swollen military establishments of
Europe, and the state of mind that toler-
ates them, are the real difficulties in the
way of European rehabilitation, the pay
ment of Erope's debt to the United
States, and the refusal of this country to
become more intimately associated in Old
World affairs.

RANGE CONDITIONS CHANGING

1.-THE great cattle range country is In
transition stage Settlers are crowding in
and fencing more and more land. Large
cattle companies-the best of them, have
fenced lands and provided water, feed and
shelter. The shoe-stringer still operates
by the hundreds and is the cause of a
great share of the losses in winter. He is
being crowded out by settlers and the
western organization of wool-growers are
demanding that he be given no leases.
Rules and regulations on the Forest Re-
serves require that leases for pasturing be
granted only to owners Of cattle and sheep
who are able to show ownership of ranch
lands and ability to take care of stock
when it is taken off the reserves. That
practically excludes the shoe-stringer from
the forests reserves and has reduced fatali-
ties to livestock The shoe-stringer oper-
ates without owning foot of land and
generally without credit or capital, taking
his chances to make winning on an open
winter when his stock will get through
without losses Some way must be found
to hold him responsible for losses to his
herds. The shoe-stringer or irresponsible
herder should be shut off the state and fed
eral range lands, as he is off the Forest
Reserves"

SUPREMACY OF THE LAW

Inc perpetrators OF the Herrln Massacre
have been disillusioned. They had taken
the law into their own hands, forced the
officers of Williamson county to forget
their oaths, and without capable leader
ship, INDUCED in crimes so horrible as ac-
tually to shock society. To cap the climax
they practically challenged the authori-
ties of the state of Illinois to inflict on
them the punishment prescribed by the
laws of that state.
The challenge was accepted and the
process of law and order was set in mo-
ton. A grand jury has indicted 434 per-
sons, 245 of them for murder. The trials
are under way and it will be soon seen
whether or not law is supreme in William
son county and in Illinois and those who
have violated the law are subject to its
penalties.
It has to be remembered that the men
on trial are ably defended by criminal
lawyers and that unless there is change of
venue the jury will be composed of men
once in sympathy with and forced into
practical subserviency by the accused. Yet,
even so, the authorities of the state, backed
by public opinion nationwide, may OBJ
tain verdicts convicting the men who
placed themselves above law and COM
mitted the most shocking crime in the his
tory Of American industry.

CATASTROPHE THREATENS

The Oregon State Humane Society has
had surveys made Of range conditions in
that state and authorizes the statement
that there will be heavy losses of cattle
and sheep this winter on the ranges from
starvation. A report to the Chicago
Drovers Journal says: There are bone
dry conditions over large areas of the
western range states. Livestock is going
into winter quarters with famine staring
it in the face and prices of hay advanc-
ing rapidly. Credit has been largely ex-
hausted and advances by the War Finance
Corporation to banks and cattle loan COM
panies have relieved the banking situa-
ton but vii not save the stock. Cowmen
are u1orsgzging their ranches to buy hay.
Losses from the slump IN prices OF cattle
are heavy, and individual herders and cat
tie firms viii be helpless to save their
stock Losses of SOC, 900 head in eastern
Oregon last winter will reach into millions
If the coming winter is not mild and open. !"
Col Hofer appeared before the national
Humane convention in st. Paul with a plea
for the range stock and advocates state
and national action to save the industry
from terrible losses, if the coming winter
is hard one.

Of ten chicks. After she left them to
shin for themselves she laid a few
more eggs and was ready to set again
when her attention was attracted to
the pups, who were bewailing the tenn
porary absence Of their mother. The
hen then forgot all about setting and
went over to comfort the pups. When
the mother dog went to suckle her
young. they reluctantly approach ed her
one by one. When the hen would find
herself deserted she would 10 and
hover over the dog and pups. The

PAWTUCKET MILLS
 RE0PENED TODAY
Military Guards on Duty--Riot YiCtim'S Funeral This Afternoon

Pavtucket, Feb. 23.--lTnder mili- tary guard, the mills here affected by the strike of textile workers opened today without disturbing incident Comparatively few pickets were son duty. These who did appear were obliged to keep moving.
 At the Jenckes Spinning company's cotton plant where Mondays fatal rioting occurred, no attempt was made by the strikers or their sympa- thizers to organize the usual demon stration.
 At the Royal Weaving company's plant where over 1000 silk workers walked out yesterday the gates were opened as usual but only employees of the cotton departments entered.
 Cause is Unknown.
 The cause of the walkout at this plant is still uncertain, some of the strikers saying they acted out of sym pathy for other textile workers and others saying it was because of the presence of soldiers.
 This afternoon a general demonstra tion was arranged by strikers of all the Blackstone valley villages at the funeral of Jose d'Assuncao, the vic- tim of the riot Monday. Military of- ficers gave permission for the demon stration.
 Col. Wells. in charge of the mill tary forces, ordered the 349th con- pany from Westerly today, explaining that this sixth company was being called here to provide against any possible emergency.
