Mexico is demanding Of the United States
government full satisfaction for the killing Of
~ citiseus in the Herrin massacre. That is
how this lawless outbreak that ought to be
dealt with by the local authorities gets linked
up with International affairs. Similar demands
have been made by our government upon Mex
leo, and good American sportsmanship urges
us to do unto others as We would be done BY.
We cannot believe that CUR government will
fail to take cognizance Of this demand and
maintain its reputation as great nation by do
ing the right thing, but all the federal govern
ment can do In the matter il to settle any
question Of indemnity that may arise out Of the
killing. The duty that rests upon the county
Of Williamson and the state of Illinois is the
arrest, conviction and punishment of the per-
sons who took part in that slaughter Of defense
less men. The county officers have utterly
failed to do their duty. The state must not fail
to insist upon the fullest compliance OF those
officers with the demands. Of law and justice:
1t is disgrace to the whole state and reflec-
ton upon its whole people when any body of
men should think it necessary to subscribe to a
fund to prosecute those murderers. But some
thing must be done to redeem the good name Of
the state of Illinois, and the people of the state
of Illinois must see that it is done

Friendliness to the Wild.

1t is encouraging to read that the story of
wild life at summer resort at McGregor, Iowa,
is expanding, that the camp on the Mississippi
bluff top this year is attracting all classes Of
people, The wild Life School" is a capital
idea. It is well that it should spread, as Kow
seems likely, to the upper Mississippi valley
Schools of that sort ought to spread through
out the country. The study Of wild life has
been too much limited to the view of living
things that can be obtained over the sights Of
shotguns and rifles. That view Of wild life Is
the view that the average savage knows; it is
the view that appeals to tho cruel instinct in
man, the survival of the primitive phase of the
genus homo, when the sole value of wild life
was its value as game. 1t is time that civilized
human beings glimpse the wonders of thought,
Of care, Of responsibility and Of reasoning wis
dom that develops in the furred or feathered
creatures. .+. =
Congress and the legislatures of practically
all states are responding to the development of
the humanitarian impulse in society. Laws
are being passed that impose the stern protest
Of society on the determination Of wild animals
for inconceivable amusement or for selfish pro-
fit But we need to 60 further than that in our
contact with animals. Men and women, and
especially the young. should be introduced to
wild creatures by those who know them best
To know is to love wild animals. Such study
opens breadth and depth of sympathetic en-
joyment which no man or woman, and espe-
ctally boy or GIRL should miss in we'll
rounded life. For, after all is said and done
animal life. and especially wild animal life
furnishes the mirror in which the mental and
moral processes Of mankind are to be seen in
fairly faithful reflection. But even if it were
more interesting than fiction.

Service and Personal Gain.

We all talk about the service we give, but
We make the other fellow pay for it. We speak
about the days when the boys were in the war
service as If they were not now in the service
Of their country. Because they were offered a
definite task that they understood and could do
the boys responded with enthusiasm, but when
the war was over the boys faced a complicated
world and dropped out Of service. The idea lost
its charm. The popular use Of the word serv-
ice is quite . different thing from the sacri-
ficing service performed by the boys in uni
form.
There Is in process Of formation a national
organization of busipess men who have adopted
service ~ thar motto and the teachings Of
Jesus as their policy. They place service for
others above personal gain, as an ambition.
They are banded together to search out the
meaning and application Of the Sermon on the
Mount in conditions Of the present day. They
viii hold preliminary convention in Kansas
City in October and . national gathering in
Detroit next March.
The remarkable thing about this organiza-
ton Of business men who aim at applying tho
principles Of Jesus to human conduct is that
1t is lay movement and is being supported BY
Jews and Gentiles and liberal as we'll. as ORTIZ

the fruit on the same twig is the

the two kinds of fruits? W. C. w.
A. The department of agricul-

classified as a sport. Occasionally

kind. They think that it is not an
October plum that you found but a

= Operators Assess the Public.

\ Illinois mine operators have announced an
advance Of $3.50 per ton in the price Of coal.
This means that the consumer will have q cor
responding increase in his future coal bills to
meet Since the miners have returned to their
Jobs At the scale Of wages In effect when the
strike began, and there has been NO advance
In transportation charges, the only conclusion
to be reached by the public is that the opera
tors have imposed this tax upon the consumer
to cover any losses they may have experienced
during the period when their mines were idle
in previous years the operators have always
been quick to explain increases by pointing to
the meeting Of larger wage demands and IN
creased transportation charges, and the public
was rsconciled by the facts presented.
I But this latest action Of the operators is
about the boldest piece Of public robbery that
has been attempted in years. II the $3.50 were
10 b. distributed among tho miners and others
engaged in the handling Of the coal there would
