IS THAT ALL?

Men who escaped from the Herrin
massacre have been telling the story
of their experience. 1t is story of
treachery and cold blooded atrocity.
It is a story of first hand knowledge
and there is no cross-examination by
counsel for the defense. At the
close one Of the latter asks one ques-
ton: "You were one Of the guards
sent down by the Hargraves agency"

Tense: "That is ALL"
Is that all?
That is a question not only for the
jury at Marion but for responsible
unionism and for self-respecting
citizenship. Is it justifable homi-

versy? Is unionism 10 be granted
the right to pass beyond the laws of
society, even of civilized warfare, to

will?
The men butchered at Herrin sur

bedside DECISIONS" STARTED
BY LEGION

Joseph Sparks, chairman of the
National Rehabilitation Committee of
the American Legion, has announced
that the bedside cleanup" inaugm-
ated last month in U. S. Veterans
Bureau Hospitals by the Legion in
conjunction with the Veterans Blu
reau had resulted in compensation,
awards being made to 1904 disabled
veterans of the world war now in
government hospitals. Checks for
the amounts due under the awards
have already been mailed by the Blu
reau.
There are still 2,454 men in hospi-
tails whose claims haven't been ad-
Indicated, Sparks said, but pointed out
that this is less than ten per cent
of the total of 1886 veterans now
in government hospitals.
Bedside decisions" were given dur
ing this Christmas clean up campaign
which was inaugurated at the request
Of The Legion. Under the usual
bureau procedure, awards in the in
dividual cases would have been made
at the ID District Offices of the bu-
reau. The bedside decisions" re-
suited from Sparks desire to have
each disabled soldier in government
hospitals whose claim had not been
approved, adjudicated by Christmas
and check forwarded him by that
date, if his claim proved to be legal

"WALLY REID-PLAY BOY OF
THE MOVIES

The same public which felt nausea
when the Arbuckle episode was aired
showed feeling of pity and SYM
pathy when "Wally" Reid began his
fight to overthrow the dope" habit.
And now that Reid is dead, millions
of Americas motion picture fans
mourn.
Wallace Reid and his wife, Dorothy
Davenport, never tried to make Sc
cret of the fact that the famous star
had become a drug fiend. 1t was
proved to the satisfaction of nearly
everyone that Reid assimilated dope
in order to keep on his feet and turn
out pictures according to contract,
when he should have been in bed
recovering from a physical break
down.
When the habit fastened itself upon
him and the inevitable physical col
lapse came, Reid kept up his fight
against the drugs which would, doubt
lessly, have prolonged his life.
1t is a sad case, deserving Of hui
man sympathy.
The death of "the Play Boy of the
Movies" leaves void which will be
hard to fill. Reid was a true opti-
mist of the screen, and he left a clean
wholesome impression in all his pic
tures.-Camden Courier.

ON GOING oITHE EXTREME

Six hundred and four years before
Christ, there lived in China phil
osopher named Lao-Tzu. His name
sounds like sneeze, but his wisdom
could give most Of us of the present
age aces and spades and then beat us
at our own game.
One of the choice bits of philosophy
he uttered is typical of his tcrse wis
dom. Ii follows:
Extreme straightness is as bad as
crookedness; Extreme fuency is as
bad as stammering."
Think it over.
A man who talks so confoundedly
fast that you can't understand him,
may as well stammer his head off.
A man who is so clever that he over
steps the boundary of honesty and
squareness in his mental gymnastics,
is actually more dangerous than an
evidently dishonest man.
But extreme straightness carried to
the extreme is another way of saying
that he will fall over backwards.
The extemeist is usually crank with
no redeeming features.
The reformer who howls like a fan
attic and tries TO cram his theories
down the threats of the whole people
is as bad as the crook who picks your
pocket or robs your house. He is
in the same category with the hypo-
critics who We're denounced by Christ:
'Ye pay tithes," he said, land have
omitted the weightier matters of the
law, judgement, mercy and faith"

PIIT THEM TO WORK

The gospel of work is being neg
leeted today. Mother and father are
working about as hard as ever, but
the young people are loafing as never
before.
The mother who allows her daugh-
ter to dawdle her time away, to think
of nothing but dress and fashion, to
play the piano and use the family auto
mobile when she should be washing
dishes and helping to make the beds
and performing other useful tasks
about the house is neglecting her duty
The girl who grows to womanhood
without knowledge of household man.
agement is not a credit to her mother
Her mother has been remiss.
The father who allows his son to
grow up loafer is not a good citi-
zen. He should take enough interest
in his family to see that the boy is
brought familiar with work. Not
dainty jobs alone, but good old-fash-
toned jobs like cleaning out the cellar
handling the ashes and bringing up
the coal. 1t won't hurt him. He
can wear gloves if he is afraid of
running his banjo hands. He can
wear skull cap SO as not to ruffle
his patent leather hair. And the
work will build up his physique just
as efficiently as the gym and the base
ball diamond.
And working will fit them for life
Many of the young folk growing up
today have never looked a job of real
work in the eyes. They look upon
work as something to dread, some
thing to look forward to with fear
and trembling, something to be avoid
ed and skulked as long as possible.
Put them to work early. Honest
work never hurt any one yet. Give
them plenty of playtime, but familiar
ize them with some form of work.
Then, when they come to shift for
themselves they won't be astonished
and hurt because they are expected
to toll.
Put them to workl-Fall River

LEGION SUPPORTS FRANCE

The action of France in occupying
certain territory in the Ruhr valley
was given a stamp of approval by

meeting in Indianapolis attended by
representatives from every state.

deemed necessary by the Legion heads
The resolution charged that the Ger

financial system of their country for
the purpose of avoiding payment and
"by evasion and trickery sought to

Lambertville, N. j., Jan. 2o, 1873
To the Editor:
1t was with deep regret | read
the article in last weeks issue of
your paper attacking prohibition, and
assuming you are fair-minded enough
to be willing to give your readers
both sides of the question and that
you agree with me that in discussing
a national measure we should judge
it by it's effects on the nation as a
whole, | am asking you TO publish
the enclosed extract from an article
by Rev. S. Par1es Cadman, published
in the Presbyterian Magazine, and
may ask you to give it the same
prominence you gave the article
against prohibition. 8.
Respectfully,
Margaret Hoppock.
What the Amendment Has Done
The Amendment now locked in the
Constitution and sanctioned by the
United States Supreme Court was in
tended by its promoters to be as a
body blow at one of the chief sources
of individual and corporate wrongdo-
ing. Their aims were laudable. Their
motives were sincere. Constant ref
erences to their cant and humbug
are themselves among the worst ex
hibitions of cand and humbug.
Let me quote from an exhaustive
treatment of the question by Clifford
Gordon. He came to the United
States from Australia in July, 1921,
with the express commission to scru-
tinize the operations of the prohibit
tory amendment. He reports that
his mission took him to every part
of the country; that he Travelled 25,-
600 miles, visiting almost every large
city and numerous smaller cities and
also typical rural neighborhoods.
During these journeyings he inter-
viewed hundreds of citizens in every
walk of life. conversing with employ
ers and employees, with political and
labor leaders, criminologists, physi-
clans, alienists, Federal, State and
municipal officials, and private indi-
viduals. "The man on the street,
editors of newspapers and magazines
periodicals they edited, and any
other personal or possible source of
information were utilized by him.
He declares that prohibition as a
national law has succeeded and pro-
duees statistics and collected facts
to certify his declarations.
The cities named are strategically
saituated in the East, the near West,
the Middle West and the Far West
Of the country. They indicate a
general decrease of offenses of this
character of over 100000 in the ma
ton as whole. Besides under the
saloon system drunkard was sell
dom arrested unless he or she was
menace to himself or the bystanders
Under the new system he is liable
to arrest if he shows signs of intox-
lication. In the light of these sta
tisties, which are conservative, what
becomes of the universal gossip that
there has been a large increase in
alcoholism during the last two
years?
No matter how much "moonshine"
or Bootleg whisky is distributed, it
is not drop in the bucket when com
pared with previous distributions of
liquor by saloons and breweries.

(From the Marine News, Organ of

Subsidy cannot make ship operation
nor promote commerce. The former
is matter where the efficiency and
ability of the ship operation concern
is the only consideration. As to the
development of commerce, this is a
matter where the willingness of Amer
leans engage in world affairs will
be the deciding factor.

PARIS TO NAME STREETS AFTER
A. e. F, VETERANS
VETERANS COLUMN

1t is reported that the municipal
council of Paris will soon resume the
remaining of some 200 streets in that
city after world war veterans. This
is to honor the A. E. F. participation
in the late war. 1t is one concrete
expression of the gratitude France
feels toward America.
Among the thorofares to be re-
named are many bearing German
names, and those bearing names of
former owners of property thru which
the streets were cut. In additional
to these there will be 15t streets
opened following the demolition of
the city Notifications since the war.
The municipal council soon will re-
sumo the task of remaining some 200
of the city's thoroughfares and, ac-
cording to French custom, the leading
figures of the war will be freely
honored.
Thus far only General Gallieni, the
defender of Paris; Guynemer, the
"Ace of Aces" in aviation, and Col
onel Bonnet, who distinguished him
self at scissors, have been the hon
ored. General consideration when
the work was suspended on account
of objections to the abolition of old
names because of sentimental or his
torical reasons. Pershing, Clemen-
ceau, Foch and other leaders are on
the new list, however.
Paris streets and squares with
American names at present are Ave.
President Wilson, Rues Lincoln, Frank
lin Louisiana and Washington and the
Place des Etats Unis.
