EDITORIAL
JEFF DAVIS AGAIN.

JEFFERSON DAVIS, president of
y the Confederate States, was cap
tured 81 years ago this May by Mich
igan cavalry, near Irwinsville.
Thomas Mile Hunter, one of the
cavalrymen, reminiscing at his home
in Spencer, Ohio, has put the lie to
the malicious myth that Davis, when
captured, was trying to escape in
women's clothes. Davis was too dig
nified and fearless for that. The
story started because they caught
him early in the morning, wearing a
bath robe.
Each member of the Michigan cap.
tors was awarded a bonus of $60t
in 1868. But Hunter says they
didn't get the money until 10 years
later. 1t will interest veterans of
the World War to know that govern
ment slowness is chronic disease,
nothing new.

NANCY and Nick and the Magical

ment at the Moon-Man's story.
"You see, my dears," said Mr..
Peerabout, the Naturalization, as
he leaned back comfortably in his
rickety old chair and stroked his
beard, "the moon is different from

"The things you value on earth
We moon people don't care about at
all, and the things you throw away
down there we prize highly.
Take our cities, for instance, that
you think are so wonderful, one
built of carved ice-blocks, another OF
white marble inlaid with jewels, and
one of ivory and pearl.
"They might be called handsome
on the earth, but up here they are
slums where the poorest people live.

roasts and cake and fruit and fine
sauces, and nothing to wear but vel
vets and satins and embroideries and
laces and handsome furs live in

A THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.

Even the youths shall faint and be
weary, and the young men shall ut
terly fall; but they that wait upon
the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up like wings as
eagles; they shall run and not be
weary; they shall walk and not
faint-Isaiah 40, 30-31.
By persisting in a habit of self
denial, we shall, beyond what ! can
express, increase the inward powers
of mind, and shall produce that
cheerfulness and greatness of spirit
as will fit us for all good purposes;
and shall not have lost pleasure. -
Henry More.

THE MUSICAL DOCTOR.

DADIO fans will be pleased tc
learn That music has medicinal
powers, according to DIR. Alexander
Lambert of Bellevue Hospital, New
York City.
Discussing the therapeutical value
of music, he makes out such good
case that the audience cheers and
votes enough money to install a SUI
per-radiophone in Bellevue. Says
DIR. Lambert:
'Music can ease the strain of
life for a great number of patients,
but not for all. 1t calls up cheerful
thaughts and lessons monotony, and
it is of enormous benefit to the ner-
vously broken down, to children, and
toSmust surgical cases, for music APP
peals more to the emotions than to
reason.
@People differ, not in opinion but
in ,Btages of intellectual and spiritual
development. SO some want jazz and
some want fugues, and neither is
soothed by the music that plcases the
either. Music might heal or injure
Wherever it cheers; it heals"
Eazz might cure one dying person
and kill another, thick with the dust
of culture. What's one mans meat
is another poison.

BEAUTY SUPREME
 IN "SINGED WINGS

How would you like to be known as one of the most beautiful girls in Hollywood, Calif., where the worlds most beautiful women live? For to be one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood means to be one of the most beautiful in the world.
 For "Singed Wings" his new pro duction for Paramount featuring Bebe Daniels and Conrad Nagel, Penrhyn Stanlaws, the director, demanded twelve of the most beautiful girls in Hollywood" ...
 Great care was exercised by his as sistants before the I2 beauties were finally chosen In addition, they had to go under the critical eye of MT. 'Stanlaws, himself famous artist and excellent judge of beauty.
 Unusual beauty, not only on the part of the girls, but also in their cos tuning, was necessitated by the big ballroom set in which they took part for scene in "Singed Wings" This big set was SO massive and so inn pressive that it was necessary that those in it be equally impressive and beautiful. In addition, Miss Daniels, in the moth costume created for her presentation of "The Moth Dance" :" added more beauty to the scene, which is easily one of the most pic turesque ever photographed for the screen. "Singed Wings" comes to the Rialto Theatre next Thursday. The story is thrilling.

Then novel Ade twist to the eternal story is introduced, with interesting results.

PROFITEERING MEASURE
By E.. A. Bates.

ecretary-Treasurer, New York State
 Federation of Labor.
 We cannot understand here why President Harding should advocate such a monstrous measure. It gives the Shipping Board power enough to bankrupt the United States if they choose to take advantage of 1t with no benefit to the people. It will be a positive detriment to the producing classes-the wage earners and the farmers. The advocates are creating wicked if not criminal, myth. The farmer would get fooled by paying more than he does now for shipping his products and paying an increased tax through the manipulation of the Shipping Board. The wage earners will realize a reduction in wages for operating the ships besides paying the tax created by the monopoly brought about by the Shipping Board.

MISSOURI SAYS SHOW ME-

Secretary-Treasurer, Missouri State
 Federation of Labor.
 First, the bill provides that mer- chant ships which have cost the tax payers three and ~one-half billions dollars to build are to be sold by the Shipping Board at a price estimated at one hundred and fifty million, Or a price fixed by the Shipping Board and not sold by competitive bids.
 Second, the bill also provides that the Shipping Board be given one hun dred and twenty-five million from U. s. Treasury to be loaned out by it at 2 De rcent to the ship owners for fit ting out and constructing ships; this in the face of the fact that our gov ernment IS now borrowing money at AZ per cent.
 Third, the bill further provides that subsidy shall be allowed from H per cent gross ton for the same miles travel, to. 2 and 6-Io cents per gross ton for the same distance and that this is to go on until the ship owners make a met operating income of 10 vestment. The railroad companies, under the "Esch-C Cummings Law" during government control were $ fence we have not forgotten.
 Fourth, the bill finally abolishes Army and Navy transports and pro- vides that all troops and war supplies shal lbe transported for the Govern ment in private vessels, at the gov ernment's expense. What a fine bunch of graft --.-.. .---
 Fifth, the bill gives the Shipping Board enormous power. It may give or withhold loans from shippers at its arbitrary discretion. It may even de clare shipping agreements void, re- gardlesS of court decision. Such tre- mendous power should not be given to any administrative body, nor such complete control over the U. s. Treasury for the benefit of it's hench- men. -..
 Sixth, the ships subsidy bill no, only fails to protect American sea men, but actually repeals the Free dom Clause" of the present "LaFol- lette Seamen's Act", which aims to insure our seamen decent standard of living. The U. S. Shipping Board, under it's present administration, is hostile to labor. It has not only aid ed the big ship owners to cut wages of it's seamen but has even permitted them to man government owned yes sels with cheap Asiatic labor in pref erence to American seamen This is the most vicious piece of legislation sought by special privilege in de cade. The whole principle of the ship subsidy was repudiated by the voters, both in primary eelction and on No vember 7th The bill by all means should be defeated
 I am sure that this represents the sentiment of the great mass of the people of this state, and especially so of organized albor

Overwhelming Disap-
 prOval of Subsidy
(Continued from Page Five.)'

This bill does not require the Ship ping Board to make any report or ac- counting to the President or any one else. It confers upon the Shipping Board the most autocrat1c and unpre- cedented powers ever conferred upon any board.
 The labor provisions of the Sea mems Act would be partially de- stroyed, and there is no doubt that eventually the shipping business would gradually come into the hands of powerful shipping combinations

legislation decried by the very inter ests who are pushing this measure.
 It is a fact that monied interests attempt to obtain possession of the government owned ships now under the control of the shipping board at a nominal price, and we then put pre- u1ium on such near robbery by grant Ing money to operate same ships to the same interests. President Hard ing is i'll advised to urge such legis- lation. This measure should be de- feated and it is to be hoped that enough. votes can be mustered in both houses to effect the defeat
