1.-THE GOSPEL OF HUMAN WELFARE"
WRONGS AND REMEDIES
"a review by Judge Robinson of his

| "a review by Judge Robins on Of his
book of the above title)
This book is for rich and poor, for
Judges, lawyers, doctors, and for
toilers who would better their con-
dition.
1t points the way to health and
prosperity; to better health, longer
life and more comfort.
1t breaches the gospel of human
veal, law and order, peace and pros
perity.
1t breaches against the ruinous
| taxes, excessive usury, extortionate
railway rates and cruelty in the
name of the law.
In this land of plenty, and even
superabundance, there is no necessi-
ty for poverty, nor for laws and con-
stitutions which permit few nom
toilers to capture all the wealth of
the country. Thus far they have
captured at least fifty per cent, and
every day, in every way, they cap
ture more and more. AS things go,
in few decades they will have it
all, and the country will have anar-
chy, poverty and bolshevism. For
what man soweth that shall he al
so reap. In the gospel of human
welfare there is no class hatred
Honesty is the best policy. The well
fare OF the poor assures the welfare
OF the rich. What is not good for
the bee, neither is it good for the
hive" 1t is not good for the hive
or the bee that few surfeit in
honey while many suffer from want.
The drones should not have all the
honey. To promote human welfare
and to protect the masses against
the classes, the Constitutions and
laws should be amended thus: To
put some reasonable limit on the
capturing and amassing of wealth;
the granting OF special privileges;
the squandering of public money and
property. To Congress and the Fed
eral Courts the Constitution gives
vast power which has been used to
capture and amass wealth. Youewill
find particulars in three volumes by
Myers on Big FortuneA, and in one
volume by Myers, on The U. S. Su-
preme Court. To railway exploiters
and others, Congress has given in
land and money billions on billions
of dollars--enough to build and
equip all the transcontinental roads.
And in special privileges Congress
has given twice ten billions to banks
and protected industries. Within
three years, Congress has given to
railway carriers 20 per cent on pass
enger rates; IS per cent on freight
rates; SO per cent on Pullman rates,

CAN PREVENT
POLLUTION OF
C0STAL WATER
Remedies Suggested in Report
of Bureau of Mines After
an Investigation
EASTERN, SOUTHERN & CENTRAL
DIVISIONS

Washington, Oct. ,3.-Pollution of
river and coastal waters by leaking
and refuse oils, with consequent in
jury to shipping and riparian prop
erty, can be practically if not entire
ly prevented, in the opinion of the
Bureau of Mines.
This decision was announced to-
day, based on the preliminary report
of special committee which has
been working on the problem for
more than year in response to
legislation enacted by Congress. In
vitations for an international con-
ference on control of oil pollution
will be sent out by the State Depart
ment under authority of the same
congressional resolution, as soon as
the committee has rendered it's final
report.
Remedies suggested by the COM
mittee include control of waste from
stream-side industrial plants, in
stallation Of devices on shinD to pre-
vent egress of oil waste, and pro-
vision of barges or other receptacles
in harbors for rccaipt of necessary
refuse.
Study Origin
Study of the origin of oil in the
coastal waters, the report said, show
ed the principal sources to be:
(a) Oil swept in from outside the
three-mile limit.
CD Oil-contaminated waters and
oily material from oil-burning and
oil-cargo ships.
(c) Oil refuse from ship repair
yards.
(d) Oil waste and oil-water mix
lures from reflneries and oil fields.
(e) larry matter or heavy oil
from gas plants.
CD Oily material from other in
dustrial plants.

per treatment and disposal of such
wastes, would seem to offer the most
Immediately available means for cop
ing with the situation after the yes
sci has arrived in port. 1t would be
advisable to have apparatus for skim
ming and collecting from the surface

sometimes result from accidents in
spite of all precautions"
The report was signed by F. w.
Lane, of the Bureau of Mines, Chair
man.. A. D. Bauer, oil expert of the
Bureau, H. F. Fisher, representing
the American Petroleum Institute
and p. N. Harding, of the American

over and above the excessive war
time rates. By the Tariff Act, Con-
gress levies on consumers nearly 600
millions a year; gives protection
against competition so the indus
tries combine and by excessive prices
levy twice this tax; and Jones pays
the freight.
The wealth amassers lave an in
visible empire. They organize, pull
together, control or influence Con-
gress, the Government and the
Courts. They control the currency,
control commerce, and every great
means of communication and trans
portation. The result of it all is an
aristocracy of wealth and special
privileges with prevailing and wide
spread poverty.
AS Joseph of Egypt traded on the
necessities of the people till at last
they sold themselves as slaves, SO
do our. modern Josephs. At half
price the traders buy all farm pro-
ducts and at two prices sell to the
producers, merchandise, money tok-
ems, gaming chips, paper currency,
bank credits, farm machinery, auto
mobiles, tractors and every thing.
The ruination of the farmer is the
low price at which he must sell and
the high price at which he must
buy. He must pay the excessive
railway rates, the excessive 'usury or
interest, the excessive motor vehicle
and farm machinery prices, and the
ruinous taxes. All these rob the
farmer, make him a slave, daily
toiler for mere existence.
Do you know the cause of Bolshe-
'vism in Russia and other countries,
the cause of the French Revolution,
the World War, and the decline and
fall Of Empires? 1t was nothing, on
ly the amassing of captured wealth,
and the resulting poverty and OPP
preston. In Russia the State, the
Nobility, and the Churches held
nearly all the wealth; the masses
had nothing; they 4ere virtual serfs.

Sugars that cost from SIS to 1875 per
bound, because of the excessive care
required to make them, are used in
scientific laboratories. One Is useful in
detecting typhoid germs, as these tiny
organisms multiply rapidly when feed

another, manufactured from scraps left

Soviet Picture Cars Draw

BY sending trains Of picture cars into
the rural districts, the Russian govern
ment is attempting to educate in the
principles of communism more than
100, 100000 people who, heretofore,
have shown little or no interest in
politics. Painted on the sides of the
railroad cars by the nations most
