LAFOLLETTE UP TO HIS OLD
 TRICKS IN WISCONSIN


 Senator Robert M. LaFollette opened his campaign for renomination to the United States Senate from Wisconsin with his usual "sound and fury Predatory wealth" is favorite term with the pompadour statesman, and he proceeded to tell his audience he has done so often in the past, that corporate greed is strangling the nation.
 To one of the first statements made in his Milwaukee speech by Senator LaFollette we must take strong exception. He said he was not pessimist. On the contrary, he is one of the most pessimistic men who ever sat in the halls of Congress and sowed the seeds of so- cialism. As an example of his socialistic doc Urine, he would have the government break up monepolistic control of industry by seizing all natural resources and maintaining strict leas- ing system. similar idea has been put into practice by the enlightened statesmen who have made shipwreck of Russia. It is not far step from taking control of natural re- sources to confiscating private property.
 Senator LaFollette charged that the rail roads have robbed the American people of billion and half dollars. Leaders in the coal, iron, steel, cotton, wool, grain, meat and other industries 'have accumulated more wealth than they ever dreamed of possessing" and the World war is estimated to have made 10000 millonaires.
 Excessive appropriations for the army and navy were criticised, and the four-power treaty was called "un-American.' The disarmament conference was not, the world was led to believe, an honest attempt to reduce the bur den of military armaments and promote peace, but was designed solely to protect financial interests.
 There was more in the LaFollette speech 70 the same purpose. This is the sort of stuff demagogues feed to voters, and unfortunately there are enough radicals in Wisconsin who believe in the LaFollette type of statesman to keep him in public office. The most dan gerous quality in such utterances is mixture of truth and falsehood, confusing the minds of people who are unable to tell the differ. ence.
 There is a foundation of fact in some of the charges LaFollette makes, but many of his assertions neither he nor anyone else could prove. Some of them are so palpably an ap- peal to prejudice that they may be dismissed the mouthing of a demagogue.

BELIEVES STRIKE SERIOUS

"The papers don't seem to have so much to say about it, but it seems to me that the railroad strike is getting serious," said O. S. Finch.
 Let the maintainence-of-way men come out and it will appear that the car men have about won what they are fighting for En- gineers will not run their trains over lines that are not being looked after.
 "It is my opinion, however, that the rail- way men are doing an unwse thing in strik- ing against the decision of the United States labor board. The railroads have been forced to cut their freight and passenger rates. Wages in other lines of industry have dropped, and the railway men should not seek an exception" !"

A FINANCIAL PARABLE

From Everybody's Magazine. {.
 A colored preacher set aside Sunday for making a missionary appeal to his people and receiving contributions. The day came and he preached powerful sermon
 Before the offering he announced that he had bit of bad news. His chicken house had been broken into the night before and six of his best chickens were gone. He added:
 "Now 1 doan' want to condemn nobody on- justly, but had my suspicious dat the nggah wat stole dem chickens is n dis here aujienee dis mawnin'. futhamo hab a sneakin' sus-' picion dat when de collection plate am passed, he will frow muffin into de box. shall keep an eye on ebery man. We must hab big col lection fer mishuns. De deacons will now pass de plate"
 The deacons went down the aisle while the minister kept his eagle eye on the flock. Every one put something into the boxes. The largest offering for missions the church ever gave was gathered in. Then the pastor announced:
 T doan' want none O you niggahs to miss yo dinnah or lose any sleep worryin ovah who stole dem chickens. De facts is dat de whole story ain't so It was only pahable got up fer fi- nancial pupposes.''

GLAD TIDiNos FOR DTxIR

From the New York Telegram. .. Y. Inventors for half generation hsxs besm concentrating their attention upon eshe Asvetcp- ment of some device which will wage suceezzfnl war upon the boil weevi, that curse of tho cod ton fields upon which rests the larger burden of the advances in the prices of the staple dus- ing recent years.
 It is just agricultural application s8 ths principle of the vacuum cleaner.
 Failing to find chemical srsdieaeo4 tnst would not eradicate tho cotton along with tho weevil. despairing of successfully poisoning the destructive little bug out of existence. unable to combat him with any device of merely hand labor, the theorists set to work to find curs. Apparently they have done so.
 We record this with joy and satisfaction. Not because we own cotton field, or gin, or warehouse, but because it is symbolic of the way America does business. When the fstes conspire we turn to native inventive genius for the circumvention of the harms they wreak To parody the old parody, it is just thiss

A POISON THAT PARALYzEs

From Adventure Magazine.
 Practically all Central and South American Indians (such as use poisoned arrows at alb use the same poison--the dried juice of spe- cies of strychnos. Its physiological action is to paralyze the nd-plates of motor nerves. Thus, without affecting the central nervous system at all, it causes complete paralysis of all muscles. Death is due to paraylsis of heart and respira- tory muscles. Curare, it is called, has no other action; it does not affect consciousness nor is it anaesthetic. The important and in- teresting thing about curare is that it is inert unless introduced directly into the body-fluids. It can be swallowed even in large quantities without i'll effects, because it is broken up in the stomach by the digestive process. Intro duced into the blood-stream, however, by hyTo- dermic injection, or by dart knife or arrow impregnated with 1t, curare is highly poisonous. It acts almost instantly, paralyzing all muscles, so that it's victim drops at once, inert. And that victim may be eaten with impunity, because curare is broken up during digestion.

INCREASING BUSINESS WITH
 THE PACIFIC COAST

Two vessels left Mobile Monday with car- goes for the Pacific coast. Deliveries are for San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles and San Diego and inland pointspeeast of the Pacific states Not only was the tonnage large, but it included variety of products among others from this district being high pressure and sanitary pipe and fittings, steel rails, pig iron, nails, staples and wire. From ten to dozen mills represented in these shipments.
 The business between the Pacific coast and that have caused first one and then smother steamship corporation to place it's ships on that route. The latest is the Steele Steamship company of New Orleans, which will install 10-day service between the coast and Mobile August 1. Mobile will then have sailngs both ways more than once week.
 New ships are entering this trade to get both the westbound business and the return eastbound tonnage, which is increasing rap idly.
 Back of this new-found commerce is a udsic oiriniiiSiidm uiStrict OugpuC US cast iron pipe has travelled the world over, and low rates to the west coast out of Mobile caused thousands of tons to go that way when rail rates, more than twice the water-borne rates, shut off business by land.
 Birmingham pipe blazed the path now trav- ersed regularly by several large steamship lines.

THE GOLDEN RULE APPLIED TO BUSINESS

With industrial unrest menacing the peace and welfare of America, Arthur Nash of Cin- .cinnati brings timely message to the people of Birmingham. As the guest of the Civic Association he will speak tonight to the pub- lie in Capitol park at o'clock. MT. Nash's subject will be, "The Golden Rule in Busi- ness"
 What has been accomplished in the Nash factory at Cincinnati has attracted national attention. MT. Nash's lecture, describing the application of the Golden Rule to the cloth ing industry, the most unlikely industry in which one would expect to find it tried, was sued in pamphlet form last year. It is in such demand that several editions have already been make numerous addresses, showing how it is possible for employers and employees to CO., operate without the constant friction that is disrupting industry in the United States.
 The Golden Rule is perhaps the oldest for mula for human conduct in existence. It is beyond all question the best and most service able Mir Nash tells in his lecture how he de- cided to devise some method that woud in- prove practical from business point of view. His employees were taken into the firms con fidence. When production and profits justified an increase of wages, these increases were made Close contact between the company and its employees was established and main tained. As result, the organization, from the humblest and lowest paid worker to the high est is 100 per cent loyal. Although the Nash factory is not unionized, it has the support of union organizations and labor troubles are unknown.
 Everyone knows the Golden Rule, but for thousands of years humanity has disregarded it. Nations and individuals have alike offend ed. Yet they complain of war and pray for peace, when the cause of all the trouble Is their violation of this fundamental law.
 Business men and all employers of labor, who are striving for some way to end strikes, lockouts and other labor disturbances. might profitably study the methods that have been so successful in the case of the Nash com pany. Henry Ford's factories offer another good illustration. Ninety-nine men in hun dred, if treated fairly, will reciprocate.
 In the major industries there are, of course, many factors to be considered. The solution may not be simple, but start be made. No success has ever been won in business or industry without certain degree of loyalty among the employees Would it not be worth while to increase that loyaty, without sacri- ficing efficiency? It has been done, and it can be done again.

EARS

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Irene Castle brings the startling informa- ton that Paris women are showing their ears A western world of skepticism greets the an- nouncement. Paris has been guilty of nume- rous acts of daring, but this-this taxes the imagination Women, the world has discovered, have calves, some plump and delectable some that had been better hidden; they even have knees, some dimpled and desirable, some over inclined to boniness But who ever suspected our lady fair had ears!
 Irene proves the point by uncovering hers to the amazement of New York. Hesitatingly at first she confesses, lifting the barrage by degrees, she finally reached the auricularly un- dressed stage of complete ear exposure. And what Irene has dared do countless others of her sex may be expected to emulate Out with the ears.
 Ears, we suppose, are in one respect much like knees; some of them were better covered than exposed. But on the whole it is to be hoped that Irene proves no false prophecies. Women who vote and cling to car straps, wear flat heels and run for office, asking no odds on account of sex, may well, likewise waiving sex privileges, acknowledge the possession of ears

SWEEPING DEMANDS ARE MADE
 BY STRIKING sHOPMEN

The striking railroad shopmen have an- nounced five demands as basis for agree ment. They include: "The restoration of se- niority rights to strikers; establishment of a national adjustment board to insure quicker action on their grievances; abolishment of out side contracting by the railroads, known as farming out contracts for repair work; the restoration of certain working rules and Agreements and return to the scale of wages in effect before the railroad labor board or dered cut, beginning July l..
 In other words, the strikers want the status quo restored. This would mean that the labor board rulings would have to be ignored or re- scinded and the shopmen would score tac- <tical victory. These demands will have to be compromised before a settlement can be reached. If the strikers are given copsd- ersble advantage over the railroads in short while there will be another rupture.
 Some of the railroad executives seem will ing to abandon outside contracting, but the

 CHARACTER OF A HAPPY LIFE

By Sir H. Wotton.
 How happy is he born and taught
 That serveth not another's will; Whose armor Is his honest thought
 And simple truth his utmost skfIll Whose passions not his masters are,
 Whose soul is still prepared for death, United unto the world by care
 Of public fame or private breath, Who envies mono that chance doth raise,
 Nor vice; who never understood How deepest wounds are given by praise,
 Nor rules of state, but rules of good, Who hath his life from rumors freed,
 Whose conscience is his strong retreats Whose state can neither flatterers feed,
 Nor ruin make cpprsssors great; Who God doth late and carly prsy
 More of His grace than gifts to lsndJ And entertains the harmless day
 With religious book or friends This man is freed from servils bands
 Of hope to rise, or fear to falli Lord of himself, though not If lands;
 And having nothing, yet hath all.

UNSCRAMBLINC THE MERIDIAN
 RATE CASE TANCLE

The Meridian rate case has come to the fore again. The interstate commerce commission has allowed the Alabama Great Southern and the Mobile and Ohio railroads to charge the low intrastate rates charged by the Louisville and Nashville between Birmingham and Tus- caloosa and between Tuscaloosa and Mont gomery.
 This ruling was made because the Louisville and Nashville, not being party defendant in the Meridian rate case, was not bound by the former decision, hence continued charging the Conner intrastate rates on points in Alabama within 100 miles of Meridian while the South ern and it's allied lines, party defendants, charged the higher rates fixed by the com mission, and naturally lost business to the Louisville and Nashville where their lines were parallel
 But citizens along the Southern and allied roads in this Meridian rate territory, and not on parallel lines of other carriers, will con tinue to pay the higher rates. It seems an mpossibility to make anything out of the

HIDDEN MEANING OF THE DANCE

From the Pattern of the Eastern Dance, by
 Gertrude Emerson, in Asia Magazine for Au-
 gust.
 There is an essential difference between the dance of the east and of the west. Both spring from rhythmic creative impulse, of course, the desire to express an emotion, but western dane ing has come to signify little more then an elaboration of movement, multiplicity of com plex steps, while eastern dancing still strives to symbolize by graceful gestures identified with a succession of beautiful pastures some funda- mental concept of life itself. The dance of the east carries with it something not of time. For it is half sculpture. The sacred origin of danc- ing in India-typified by the god Silva who con- veys through rhythmic play a sense of all movement, of all creation, within the cosmos, together with the release of the souls of men from ensnaring illusion, may be traced in the half-ruined reliefs of Indian inspiration found as far east as the island of Bali beyond Java, and north throughout Burma and Siam into Cambodia. And still today 1.-the figures repeat the familiar patterns. The lifted foot with bent knee, symbolizing release from the material, tbe upraised hand with thumb and forefinger hold ing an imaginary flower tribute, these and hundred other gestures give out their identical message of spirit made manifest in the ancient ful formulas. It does not ask for variety of self-expression. Beauty once found, is beauty worshped throughout the ages.
