Apples by the Carload
Dumped Into River

Washington Senator Jones of
Washington stated on the floor of the
upper house that he would not be sur
prised if 5000 carloads of apples were
dumped into the Columbia river be-
cause of car shortage. He said these
apple growers are receiving 100 cars
a day when they should be receiving
three times that number.
This indictment of railroad "effi-
ciency'' was followed by Senator
Stanley's suggestion that an investi-
cation be made "of the national fruit
company, or whatever agency it is
that gets western apples, and is pre-
pairing to throw them into the sea on
one seaboard and is selling them on
another part of the continent at ex-
orbitant prices"
Senator Jones said apples that are
retailing in the nations canital for
10 cents apiece are the same brand
which the apple grower in his section
is selling at profit Of cents box.

A BOYS PECULIARITIES

If you want to wreck a boys life,
force him to hold his baby sister for
half an hour each dav and he'll be-
come broken In spirit and will fade
away and wither into an invalid be-
yord cure. If the young fellow is not
imposed on in this way he will grow
and develop into a strong, healthy
man,and when grown can sit and hold
on his lap for hours without tiring a
girl weighing all the way from 120 to
180 pound. 1t is strange, but it is
so, and we can quote number of in
stances to prove that the theory is
correct. A boy can run all day while
at play, travel for miles and never
think about being tired. But it is an
awful punishment to require him to
run two blocks on an errand. We once
knew young man who walked seven
teen miles to see his girl, but he
couldn't stand it to follow a plow for
two hours. Another young fellow
walked four miles across fields to
"hook'' watermelons, but several
blocks was too far for him to walk to
church. Yes sir-boys are certainly
peculiar.

COOlie Labor Plot
To Import Chinese

Washington-A heavily financed
conspiracy to bring coolie laborers
into the United States is operating
successfully, declares Secretary of
Labor Davis. "Some of the best
brains in America" are being en-
ployed to carry out the plot, and the
situation "is simply disgracefu," he
said. Bribery and corruption are in
cluded in the charges.
The use of Chinese seamen makes
the admission of large number of
coolies possible. These Chinese are
employed on vessels owned by the
United States shipping board. I'm
der the law an Oriental seaman can
take 60 days leave in American ports
while waiting for other shins. The
secretary of labor calls attention to
the well-known practice of Chinese
seamen concealing themselves in their
vessels, while coolies walk off the ship
unmolested by government officials,
who are told the coolies are seamen.
$50 extensive has this practice
grown" said the secretary, chat the
reported desertions at the port of San
Francisco amount to from rs to $50
monthly. Desertions of the same type
of seamen at Atlantic ports have been
very frequent. The evidence seems
conclusive that nearly all of these are
not really seamen, but secure berths
as such with the sole view of obtain
ing shore leave at an American port
and never returning. 1t is practically
impossible to locate such deserting
seamen of the ORIENTAL races as have
reached sections inhabited bv others
of their race in our large cities"

What the Tariff Law
Did to the Consumer
(By Federated Press)

Washington-What the Republican
tariff law is doing to the cost of living
is indicated by two authoritative
statements from business quarters.
"Due to the increased cost of pro-
duction and materials, am compelled
to advance the price of all suits $40.
This increase will become effective
December A." Frederic A. Cochran,
of Cochran & Co., in circular sent
to customers.
The American Woolen Co. (wool
trust) hoists the price of it's products
from 10 to As cents a yard. The rise
in the price of textile materials and
clothing was 219 per cent between
November l and December /, or at
the rate of 27 per cent year.

Impeachment Fizzle
A WhiteWaSh Game

Washington-The house judiciary
committee has adjourned and will
submit its report on the Daugherty
impeachment proceedings to the
house after the holidays. 1t is agreed
that the committee will find for
Daugherty.
The proceedings ended when Con-
gressman Keller, author of the i'm
peachment, withdrew from the case
because of glaring favoritism to
Daugherty by the ''lame ducks" on
the committee. The committee then
subpoenaed Mr.. Keller, but he ignored
the call. Jackson H. Ralston, counsel
for the A. F. Of L., frankly told the
committee he advised Mr.. Keller they
have no jurisdiction over him.
Some of the "lame ducks" who
would bluff witnesses were shocked
at this frank statement by Mr.. Raj
ston, and various punishments were
recommended for the disobedient
congressman. One of the committee
finally suggested that Mr.. Ralston be
asked for his authority for such ad-
vice. The A. F. of l.. counsel accepted
the invitation, and for Is minutes
proceeded to explain to these lawyers
the dangerous precedent they were
contemplating. When the rights of
congressman were enumerated, the
committee tactfullv referred the mat
ter to a subcommittee.
A feature of the proceedings was
testimony by Mr.. Daugherty's as
sistants on how earnestly he is pro-
scouting big business.
Opponents of Daugherty are not de-
~ressed at the outcome. They show
that Ballinger, in President Taft's
cabinet, was whitewashed, as was
Senator Newberry.

Vol. vi
The Presidents Tax Plan
Meets With Violent
Opposition

Washington-A proposed consti-
tutional amendment based on the
presidents suggestion that the is
suance of non-taxable bonds be pro-
hibited, is having rocky travelling in
the house
One of the arguments of excess
profits opponents is that wealth is
taken out of industry and invested in
non-taxable bonds when excess profits
are taxed. In his message to con-
gress the president said non-taxable
bonds are increasing the public debt
because of the tendency Of wealth to
seek investment in them, and that
this condition justified 'a proposal
to change the constitution SO as to
end the issue of non-taxable bonds.
Debates in the house bring out the
point that under the amendment the
federal government would have the
power to stop the issuance of every
state, county, city, or school bond by
the simple eXpedient placing high
tax on same.
The plan is also favored by Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Mellon, which
would indicate that bankers will not
oppose the amendment.
Congressman Garner of Texas chal-
lenged advocates of the proposed
amendment to select any five lawyers
in the house, and if he could not con-
vince them that the proposal took
from the states and municipalities the
right to issue bonds he would retire
from the fpht.
1t was also stated that the amend
ment would increase by 10 or Is pei
cent the value of more than $11 ,OOO,
100000 of state and municipal bonds
now held mainly by banking interests
insurance companies and other cor
porations.
Friends of the proposed amedment
say money could be used "for othel
purposes" if these bonds were not is
sued This is answered by the claim
that no "other purposes" are more
important than schools, roads, sewers
etc.

Foreigners Are Roped In
By the Rail Road
Companies
(By Federated Press)

Hartford, Conn.-Three Germans,
former soldiers in the kaiser's army,
brought here to work as strikebreak-
ers in the shops of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad, have
been arrested on orders from the de-
partment of labor at Washington, and
are being held pending deportation
proceedings.
The men, evidently victims of their
ignorance of American immigration
laws and of the railroads attempt to
crush the shopmen's union, have been
used, among others brought here
from various places, to take the place
of some of the 800 local employees of
the New Haven, many of them vet
Grams of the American army in the
war for democracy.
The detection Of these imported
workers, officials of the shipments
union say, frustrated plans of the
railroad to import several hundred
mechanics from Germany and other
European countries. The union Of
ficials declare that the existence of
this plan shows the length to which
the railroad will go to break the
union, as well as the desperate situa-
ton still existing in the railroad shops
of the New Haven.
The 5000 shopmen who went on
strike in the shops of the New Haven
are maintaining a good front, and the
shops are being operated largely by
machinists and mechanics with neither
the skill nor the experience to per-
form their work properly.
1t is understood that an action will
be brought against the railroad for
violation of the contract labor clause
of the immigration law.

If it is possible for one fashion

only the false prophets, who. are
now dominating small national

throned. AS it will always be
difficult to make an appeal to the
intelligence and sense of justice
of the world, we would suggest
that the peace propaganda be
launched with a symbol that
might become the reigning fash

dove of peace as that symbol if
we were not fearful this would
bring about a war of extermin-
alton against this most peaceful
bird.
Human sheep will follow any
suggestion readily enough if it
appeals to their. vanity. And that
