CnlcaRo calls RraEl Jury III
special session. to irdict swiftly
various labor leaders arrested
to some extent on suspicion.
The crimes were as atrocious,
as deadly to organized labor as
to organized society. But these
crimes have been compared.
with reason, to the famous Hay
Market killing of policemen.
The law should not initiate the
killers and lay itself open to
suspicious, as it did before. of
killing a certain number "to get
even" regardless of guilt. That
would be more dangerous than
the original crime.
Won Tirpitz saws the once
Kaiser shows signs Of religious
mania. and his frien.'s are wor-
ried. That is the Associated
Press report.
The Kaiser showed signs of
religious mania when he started
on his war. declaring that the
Lord was with him and fighting
for him. That was the time
for his friends to lie worried.
A little worry and restraint
then would have sav.i the Ger
man people much trouble.
Then he was crazy because
he thought God was with him.
Now, perhaps, he is crazy be-
cause he thinks tho Lord has
turned against him But it
matters little. since he is out
of office. With or without God.
he can do nothing without an
army.
While Carpenter was knock
ing out Lewis in about two
minutes owners of wireless out
flts were listening for news Of
the fight as it progressed. But
there was no fight to speak of.
Lewis compared to Carpenter
was as small as Carpenter
compared with Dempsey. Car
pentier did his work more
swiftly than Dempsey did his.
Fight records show that, pound
for pound, the Frenchman is
the better fighter. 1t is not
surprising, for Carpenters
weight includes a higher per-
centage of brain and every
blow starts in the brain. Mus
cles only obey mental orders.
In all these fights the impor-
tance resides in this: They prove
that fighting is the one thing
that interests all men. Not a
cheerful outlook for wars

Mr.. Schwab's Bethlehem
company has swallowed the
Lackawannas Steel Company,
paying sixty-two millions for
the mouthful.
There will be agitation in the
Kingdom of the Lambs, not
knowing whether to buy, sell,
or go fishing. Those that go
fishing will be the wise lambs.
Schwab is an able steel man,
great ship builder. But Gary
of the big company has not
been idle during the last ten
years, and the things he has
bought from Cuba to the far
Northwest would make Santa
Claus envious. If a big steel
fight comes, it will be worth
watching.
The stealing of 100000 Lib
erty bonds from the Chase
bank develops a new idea in
rascality, according to the po-
lice.
A woman asked a jeweler to
buy some of the bonds. Bring
them around and III let you
know" said he. She brought
them, was held up and robbed
of the bonds in the hall out
side the jewelers. office. He,
of course, knew nothing about
1t, and was spared the danger
of receiving stolen goods. The
ladv asks: SIS there no honor
among thieves?" There is not.
Conan Doyle says that in
fifty years his idea of spirit
heaven will sweep the world
and spiritualism will wipe out
all religions"
The Doyle pictures of heaven
or the after-world show you
spirits with bullet holes in their
temples, and mediums bring
them back to talk the drivel of
a village grocery store.
Doyle does not know human
beings if he thinks they will ex-
change a heaven of harps,
wings, singing, gold, and glory
for material heaven which
could be built up out of a sec
tion of west Chicago. Even
Mohammed's heaven is better,
because more exciting.
In 1917 the Federal Reserve
Bank passed the one-billion
mark in its supply Of gold In
1918 it passed The two-billion
mark. Two days ago the mark
had passed three billions. This
does not include other gold
hoardings. or our gold tonnage

chains. tooth Filings. etc. The
whole thing in itself amounts
TO nothing-thirty or forty
dollars for each inhabitant. one
