A Troubled Conscience.

A Norwegian, John Larson by name,
a lumberman had a couple Of SwedeS
working for him. One day one Of
the Swedes got little fresh and the
Norwegian threw him into the river.
Then the other Swede got into an ar
gument with him, and he, too, went
into the river and was drowned.
In about six years Johns con-
science began to bother him. He
went down to the sheriff, Ole Oleson,
and said:
lola, sax var ago Ay kill couple
Swides, and my conscience Is begin
to bother What skoll Ay do?"
well, I dunno. John. Ay bane
sheriff only Is months and dunno the
rules. You better go and see Knute
Nelson, the county clerk. Maybe he
know what to do"
SO John proceeded to the county
clerks office, and there unloaded his
troubled mind. Knute, after hearing
the story, took down a big book,
rushed through it's pages, then took
down another book, and studied it.
Finally, looking a bit puzzled, he
spoke up:
"There amt no bounty on them"
he said.-Exchange

Alarming.

A certain actor who shall be name
less here but who has been known
for his matrimonial adventures, one
day approached physician and asked
for a thorough physical examination.
II want to see that I'm fit for good
many years yet, doc" he said. "You
know I'm to be married again soon,
for the fifth time"
Hmm" muttered the examiner as
he put the stethoscope to the actors
heart. "Of course this fifth lady is the
only girl in the world for you, and this
is positively your last matrimonial
venture?
ooh, come, DOCTOR" cried the
thespian, much alarmed. "I'm not as
bad off as that, am I?"-American

Altoqether Too Tame.

One was twelve and the other was
eleven-Ethel and May let's call them,
because those are not their names.
They had their usual weekly one af-
ternoon at the movies and, as it was
their custom to sit through the reel
for a second showing, they were not
expected home at the hour they
showed up.
"What was the matter with the show
that you didn't see 1t through twiceT
was asked.
"Oh," was the bored reply, "the
man was married and had a family
and there was no lovemaking."

of Sweden were defeated when the
question of whether the country
should be wet or dry was submitted to
a popular vote. The cities especially
voted wet by huge majorities.

EURTHER instances Of violence an,

FURTHER instances Of violence and
several short and unauthorized
strikes of trainmen marked the prog
ress of the railway shOpmen's strike.
Trains of the Alton were tied up for
several days at Roodhouse, ILL.,, until
the trainmen, threatened with loss of
their charter, went back to work. At
tempts were made to blow up several
of the Atoms bridges. Dynamite and
bombs were used by the strikers in
Florida, Alabama, Illinois and else
where, and in various places attempts
were made to wreck passenger trains
by pulling up rail spikes.
Striking shopmen under arrest for
wrecking a Michigan Central train at
Gary, Ind, have confessed, duplicating
others, and have admitted that the
climax of the reign of terror that was
planned was to have been the wrecking
of the Twentieth Century Limited near
Elkhart, Ind.

bill because of his desire to curb
profiteering, though he did not believe
that kind of legislation would wholly
perform it's expected purposes. 1t was
understood that the Cummins bill with
the same objects would be taken up by
the senate as soon as the bonus bill
was disposed of.
In order to make clear the admins
tration's policy in the matter of the
railroad and anthracite strikes, Presi-
dent Harding authorized the announce
ment that he thinks it desirable and
necessary that congress, before adj
jOurnment, should authorize him to
take over the railroads and mines to
meet great national emergency
should one develop. Such legislation
must come voluntarily from congress,
however. Mr.. Harding will make no
formal request for it.

HENRY FORD has announced that
his entire plant at Dearborn,
Mich, will be shut down on September
16 because of the coal situation. He
says he could get plenty of coal-if he
were willing to pay the price. But he
declares he will not stand for the
profiteering of the dealers and that he
feels he better than most manufacture
ers can afford to make this form of
public protest against eXtortion. If
he is sincere the American public will
be with him in this action, just as
Mayor Couzens of Detroit says that
city will support him in it. FOrd's
enemies, in Wall street and elsewhere,
say he is bluffing, or is planning to
shut down because of decrease of de-
mand for his cars, or is making a
grand stand play because he hopes to
run for the presidency or some lesser
office. Ford earnestly denies all these
charges.

d EFORE the senate passed the SOL
- diers' bonus bill it adopted two
important amendments. The first, of
fered by McNary of Oregon, Repub-
lican, provides for the appropriation of
$3.50, 100000 for the reclamation Of arid
and swamp lands to provide farms for
ex-service men. The second, by Sim
mons of North Carolina, Democrat,
provides that the interest on the for
eign debt shall be used to pay the
bonus. Both Of these amendments
will make more difficult the task of
adjustment between the house and
senate bills, and for this reason they
were supported by many senators who
are avowedly opposed to the bonus
The Simmons amendment is directly
contrary to the wishes of the admins
tration as expressed often by President
Harding and Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon. Probably the bill will be got
out of conference as speedily as pos
Sible, as the congressman who support
it wish ID reap the political benefits in
the fall campaign, but the feeling in
Washington at this time Is that Presi-
dent Harding is likely to- veto the
measure.

" f. CRADLE, representing the
LIE Brotherhood of Maintenance Of
Way Employees and Railroad Shop
Laborers, last week petitioned the rail-
way labor board to establish new
wage scale for railway workers and in
doing SO to recognize the principle of q
living wage" The board refused to
do this, the majority holding that
"just and reasonable wage" as con-
ceived by the board, is Giving wage"
Thereupon Mr.. Cradle wired Chairman
Cummins of the senate interstate COM
merce committee, asking that the
transportation laws be so amended as
to insure railroad employees a mini

OIL QUESTION
 BEFORE FARLEY

Lausanne. Dec. 1s.-(By the Asso- ciated Press) The Near East con- ference entered it's fifth week today with three of it's biggest problems still unsolved, but with the sub-com mis- sion to which they have been entrust- ed making every effort to reach set dement's
 Difficulties over the control of the Mosul oil regions, the question of de- porting the Greek patriarch, and the status of the Turkish capitulations, have caused the conference many an anxious moment and their final set clement is still hanging fire.
 On the other side of their ledger, the delegations believe that they have virtually disposed of the peTplexing question of the Dardanelles and they nave overcome many of the obstacles in the way of the solution of the min oritles problem.
 Today was a fresh supply of optim- Ism from the reports that America was considering lending her assis- tance to the economic rehabilitation of Europe.

DR. DAY ON
 UNPOPULAR
 PURITANISM
America Needs Men and Women of Puritan Spirit Today, He De- Clares.

Dr. Wm. Horace Day preached a Forefathers' Day sermon at the United Church yesterday morning Let us select from the many things we might discuss with interest, some of the characteristics which will help us to bear the respOnsibilitier- and meet the obligations of our age as the Puritans served theirs, said Dr. Day. The first thing l would have you rotice is that Puritanism was unpopular.
 ''The Puritans began with a vision of God, and hence. a new valuation of man. Our civil liberty has al- ways been the child of religious lib- erty. There was no democracy In the state until there was democracy in the church. and there was no dem Ccracy in the church till men had 8 new vision of God and a new vision If man. What did the Puritans do? They erected a very few buildings. They were. however. great producers If furniture. They exalted the sane the Sabbath holy and insisted that man have an opportunity for rest and worship. They condemned extrava- gance luXuriance and waste, and in sisted that life should be sober and temperate in manners and dress. If America has character and ideals, it s in large measure because of the Puritans and Pilgrims"
 Today America needs men and women of the Puritan spirit" declar- ed Dr. Day, but not with their vices. their intolerance. We need people popular when the crowd is wrong; those who still exalt conscience and obey 1t. The world is waiting for men and women who are willing to stand for what their conscience dic- tates, even though they have to stand
