On the other hand, Herren Krupp
and Thyssen, although not Officially
announcing that they had no money
to meet the payroll, gave the workers
to understand that today's envelopes
would probably be thin.
Five thousand workmen in the
state mines and ovens in the Reck-
linghausen district protested last
evening against the eonfiscation of
the properties there and the impris-
onment of Herr Rochstein, the direc-
tor. They framed an ultimatum 10
the French military authorities de-
manding the withdrawal of the sol
diers and the release of Herr Roch-
stein within twenty-four hours. The
latter request was refused point
blank, whereupon the workers adop-
ted a resolution which said:
I'VE will not work under French
bayonets."
The resolution threatened strike
on Monday unless the troops we're
Withdrawn and the director set free.

minister.
A few years ago the communists be-
gan to bother the Bulgarian farmers
At first the agitators made little head
way: but the grossest fiction r1ay as
sumo the aspect of sober fact ii II IS
repeated consistently. BY dint OF repe-
tition the propaganda Of the communists
began to make an impression upon some
OF the Bulgarian farmers, and they en-
braccd the gocs-into doctrinc-that IS
the doctrine Of division. Two goes into
four. four goes into twelve, and So on
Very well. But does 4 thousand 60 into
ore: 1t docs--if communism, the
science of dividing up, is put INTO
economic practice.
Stambulisky had an idea, an inspi!ra-
ton. Why not let the COMMUNISTS
among the farmers practice their doc
trinc5 He would and did. He dccreed
that in every district containing more
than ten Theoretical dividers-up the
theory would have to be put into prac-
ticc. so far as the communists were
concerned. In execution ct his plan
he ordered that the property OF the
communists be placed in sort OF pool );
or. more accurately, that it be cXpro-
priatcd. This would give the preachers
of communism a chance to put their
nrcachments to an actual test. With
their possessions consolidated, they
would have work to do in common
for the common good. III short they
must practice among themselves what
they had been urging upon others, If
communism proved to he good for them
and the community OF which they were
part. why, then. it would be good
for the entire state.
Recently, it appears, Stambulisky has
been having little trouble with dissent
inators of communistic propaganda.
Seemingly the communists, ii there are
any left. are keeping their convictions
to themselves. Their property, too
might be designated for common use.
That is one way OF dealing with and
getting rid of people who preach ral,-
cal doctrines concerning property. 1t
commends itself not only from the utlli-
tartan standpoint, but also because 1t
affords humorous solution for humor-
less problem.

T One might think that Bulgaria, with

Yet. upon second thought, one might
realize that many strange things are

the case may be, in that far-distant Sec

of a traveller who encountered there a

Watching the Parade
By John Pilgrim.

NV lady wife came in bubbling and
steaming this afternoon. She could
hardly give me time in which to drive
a valued customer out of the private
office before she whistled three times
for the right of way.
81 have never been so insulled III
my life" said she. II want you to
get your hat and coat and come with
me-this minute! And make that hor-
rible old creature apologize"
/ should have burst into the coat
room, 1 know, and damned the first
hat at hand Gown upon my seethlng
brow, but old acquaintance with the
highly inflammable temper of my lady
wife gave me pause. asked first to
know.
"Only tell me what happened, my
love-" said /.
So it developed that, being out upon
an errand of mercy and happening,
Mrs. Pilgrim had entered the office
of Old Bill Jones to demand that he
buy, at once, over the counter, a peck
etful of tickets for the entertainment
which the Ladies Give 'em a Life So
ciety is promoting. And Old Bill had
refused.
Il do not know you" said he, land
never heard of your society. Write
me about it. Give me references. Put
your begging on a business basis. Ask
for an appointment. If l want TO
help you then, l will. But l never
give a penny to strangers, male or te-
male, who burst in through my front
door and present u charitable gun at
my head"
So Mrs. Pilgrim. in n number of
well-chosen words. let him know Just
where he got off so far as one member
of the city's elite is concerned. and
then hurried in to get me to beat Old
Bill to fringe. But | would not do It,.
Because Old Bill and j and others on
tie same floor worked that plan out to
protect ourselves against grafters. II
Old Bill had been given time he would
have told.
Il" No use your wasting time on this
floor" he would have said. I'VE are
oathbound not TO give a penny over
the counter. Good causes get more
money from us in the long run-and
we protect ourselves from grafters. v
None of us. perhaps. give as much
ms we should to charity. But it is GER
tain that in this way we give wisely,
and each of us has seen enough of UNI
wise charity to esteem it n very dan
gerous thing. Sometimes we give as
group and sometimes individually
but we have collectively noted one odd
fact.
We do not see a lot of the wise
smiling faces that used 70 push in past
the head office boy. Not any more
Their owners know better.

For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit. too;
For the human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned ME.
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that / can do.
I live to learn their story

And to follow in their wake:
Bards, patriots. martyrs, sages.

Whose deeds crowd history's pages
And Times great volume make.

With all that is divine,
To feel there is n union
'Twixt Natures heart and mine;
To profit by afflction.
Reap truths from fields of fictioI,
Grow wiser from conviction
And fulfill each grand design.
l live to hail that season.
BY gifted minds foretold,
When men shall rule by reason,
And not alone by gold:
When man to man united.
And every wrong thing righted
The whole world shall be lighted
AS Eden was of old.
/ live for those who love me.
For those who know me true,
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit, too;
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance.
And the good that l can do.

ZEALOTS' LAST RESORT

Members of the Texas Legislature
have made material addition to the con-
fession of prohibitionists the country
over that under the American form of
government prohibition is an impossi-
bility. Since the enactment OF Nolstead
and Dean laws, which were originally
thought to be drastic enough for any
contingency prohibitionists have been
complaining against the inefficiency, in
practice, OF those statutes. Realizing
that those laws could not be enforced,
they have been striving to make them
more drastic. But nearly all these at
temrts have been predicated upon an
obvious disrespect for basic principles
that are as old as this country's gov
eminent.
The Bell bill, which was finally passed
by the Texas House of Representatives
on April 90, and which. according to its
author, was designed ito make it prac-
ticable and possible to prove the viola
ton of the Dean law" is merely another
such attempt That it betrays disrespect
for fundamental legal principles, prin-
ciples which define free government, is
made plain by a statement inserted in
the House journal by three representa-
tives who voted against the measure.
They voted against the Bell bill. they
declared. because if adopted it puts the
burden of proof OF innocence on the de-
PENDANT instead OF the burden OF proof
of guilt on the state
Small worry to the author and Sup
porters OF the measure. What do they
care about basic principles OF govern
ment? Their concern is to make pro-
hibition enforcible. To them al other
considerations are as nothing They
would probably deny and resent such a
conclusion. But no denial and no show
of resentment could explain away the
fact that they have voted their prefer
ence between enforcing prohibition and
respecting the principle that the burden
of proving person guilty OF any tn
lawful act rests upon his accuscrs.
The Bell bill, in short, is but another
confession that prohibition is not possible
under this country's form OF government
Authors and supporters OF such measures
are trying to change the American form,
Of government as means OF making
prohibition possible. They have made
assiduous efforts to enforce the inost
drastic prohibition laws that ?ealot,
have been able to devise Those efforts
having failed, they are undertaking tc

stands in the way OF their pet enterprise

the satisfaction or the nelghDornoou.
Still, there were many who could not
understand the reason for the
change.

these.

"Why did you take off the sign of

UNFAIR TO BREAD-WINNERS

Among the eternal why's" of human
conduct it would perhaps not be I'M
pertinent to consider at this season the
almost universal discrimination that
parents and their friends practice in
favor of students who display any APP
parent talent for art. Sometimes the
talent displayed is not merely apparent {:
it NAV be genuine, awaiting only an
adequate opportunity to flower into
genius. But unfortunately it is far
more frequently of negligible account
This does not imply that boys and
girls who seem to be artistic should be
discouraged Far from that, they should
be given every opportunity their par
ents can we'll Afford. But there is an
other phase of the matter, and it is OF
no less importance.
Whv is it that those who seem to be
artistic arc nearly always given better
opportunities than those whose abilities
run in other directions? One boy may
show signs of having good business
head" In a comparative sense he IS
neglected; littlesis done to develop his
talent In fact his prediction for pro-
sale, vital affairs is not so likely to be
recognized. and if it Is recognized at
all it is seldom defined as a talent. He
mas to depend largely upon his own
resources. At least. nobody goes into
raptures over his future; the field of
his prospects is not such as to create
enthusiasm.
Otter times, no doubt, such discrimi-
nation works out in ways contrary TO
the aims of those who practice it. The
neglected boy. the one who displays no
talent" that is recognized as such, be-
comes self-relant-a quality that is. an
indispensable asset in prosaic occupa-
tons On the other hand, the artist-to-
be, conscious OF the admiration and sup
port lavishcd upon him, may become so
"soft' and unpurposeful as to check the
development OF whatever real talent he
NAV have If he has none, the coddling
he receives NAV spoil him for any useful
work; his entire life may be wrecked.
Many of the worlds greatest artists
| have been those who, instead of follow
ing lines of least resistance laid by their

formidable odds Sometimes that seems
to be the best test Of whether a person
| is born an artist; if the divine fire" is
really there, nothing can eXtinguish it.
To make opportunities too easy for
the young is to discount their chances
of success in the field for which Nature
seems to have intended them. AS a
cynic once said, pounding the piano has
spoiled many a good dish-washer.
The moral is not that embryonic Padc-
rcwskis, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Rem
brandts, Schumann-Heinks or Kreislers
should be discouraged, but that greater
value. should be placed upon the latent
capabilities of boys and girls who may
distinguish themselves in more prosaic
fields OF gainful cndeavor. The former
the artists-contribute much to the JOY
of life, but it is the Woodworking pro-
ducers of vital necessities who make life
possible.

NO BRIEF FOR DEFAMERS

Because it reafiirms an old and tunda-
mental principle, Americans in general
will be gratified by the decision OF the
Supreme Court OF Illinois in the libel
suit brought by, or rather i'll the name OF,
"thc city of Chicago" against the Chi
cago Tribune The court says that 1t
is the inalienable right OF free Amer
lean citizen to lambast his government
to his hearts content, so long as he does
not advocate destruction of that gov.
eminent by violence or the violation OF
any established law"
In considering the significance OF this
decision. however, it might be well to
invite attention to the fact that the
court did not undertake TO ascertain
whether the city had actually been
damaged by the publication OF the al
legged libelous matter complained OF.
The Judge who wrote the opinion was
concerned only with the safeguarding OF
a principle. 1t is easily conceivable
that a city, in the broadest sense, might
suffer immediate damage as result OF
the publication of discreditable state
ments concerning it, and irrespective OF
whether such statements were true or
false.
While the court declared that it is
the right of a citizen to 'lanbast his
government to his hearts content and
made it plain that the principle could
not be a principle unless the right were
possessed by all, irrespective OF their
motives or their vcracity, it did not offer
any moral brief for those who d"fame
their city for no other reason than to
gain political domination over it.
Thus the responsibility OF those who
publish or otherwise circulate false
statements concerning their city-statc-
mcnts designed to impair its interests
and those OF its citizcns--is all the
greater by reason OF their freedom from
prosecution. The question Of guilt or
innocence, of truth or falsity, is one TO
he decided by the people themselves.
If they patronizc and support any IN
stitution or publication or other agency
that wilfully dcfamcs their city in an at
tempt to gain its own selfish ends. the
responsibility becomes theirs, too.
Moreover, the citizens of a city arc
the most competent Judges Of facts and
motives, and they have the power 10
assess and execute the most severe pen
atty. If the freedom Of speech safe
guarded by the Illinois Supreme Courts
decision was granted only to those who
tell the truth or to those who have no
reprchensible motives, scarcely an cleo
ton could be held anywhere in the
country without somebody's laying a
predicate for libel suit And those with
no Interior motives, but with only the
best interest of their city ut heart, would
be deferred from performing their pub
lie duty as they saw it. Silence would
be their only insurance against litiga'
ton.
The courts decision does not, in short
mean that those who maliciously defamC
their city, in poltica! campaign OF
under any other circumstances, are gooC
citizens. The best test of integrity il
one that is free from legal compulsion
