is SOMETHING WRONG WITH OUR
HOME?


By Mrs. John d. Sherman
President of General Federation of
Women's Clubs
What is the matter with the Ameri-
can home? If I were to summarize its
chief defects in the present era, I
think | should say there were six of
them
/. American homes are far too few
in number because of our national
lack of thrift.
g.. We lack a sense of home respon-
sibility.
8. Too much miscalled indepen-
dence in the family circle is under
mining our homes.
4. American homes lack simplicity.
5. Their mechanics are inexclusably
inefficient.
g. American homes are not as at
tractive as they should be to hold
chief place in the family affections.
The first and perhaps, the most des
perate charge to be made against the
home is that it is nOn-existent in far
too many cases.. There is an old re-
cipe for scalloped chicken that very

FOR PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
AND THOSE THAT PAY.
1000 FIGHTING PLANES.
FOB ONE DREADNAUGHT.

President Coolidge recalled Secre-
tarv Wilbur. of the Navy, to Washing
ton to discuss with him 1.-The relative
value of battleships and flying ma
chimes in war.
This means, of course, that the
President will LISTEN to others, and
TAKE COUNSEL with himself. 1t
means that, with all his work, he has
found time for the serious problems
of air defense, and does not intend to
keep this country among the back
ward nations, as regards real prepare
ton.
Facts alone will influence the Presi-
dent, and they are not lacking. For in
stance:
One battleship of dreadnaught
class cost forty-five million dollars.
For that sum the nation could build
and mobolize TWO THOUSAND
FIGHTING AIR-PLANES. Does the
President or any other sane man ask
what chance battleship would have
against 1000 fighting air machines
dropping INT from the clouds?
The French have come through q
real war, with invasion to the very
gates of Paris, millions killed, other
millions wounded THEY know some
thing about fighting. What has
France done to prepare against dan
ger across her border?
France has first line of air de-
Tense consisting of two thousand
fighting air machines, with a reserve
of two thousand more.
And that fighting French air fleet
is what makes England, with all her
numbering battleships, cruisers, etc.,
1.-The worlds greatest battle fleet, so
pitifully polite to France. She will con
time to be polite until she can domi-
nate in the air, as she used to domi-
nate the sea.
The two thousand first line fight
ing planes that spell security for
France, cost in Europe, less than half
the cost of one first-class dreadnaught
here. No wonder France insists that
Germany shall build no fighting
planes.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-10-09

Mr.. W. j. Davis, of San Diego,
earnest advocate of air defense, says
truly, "The nation foremost in the air
will win the next war at the drop of
the bomb, and before the world wakes
up the next morning amid the fumes
of phosphorus or of bombs of some
other kind, if it does wake up at all,
the war will have been won.

We continue spending millions on
big guns and ammunition for practice.
They also will soon be classed among
museum curiosities, used to make a
loud noise in the Presidential salute,
or tickle the vanity of some admiral
returning to his ship.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-10-09

A sixteen-inch gun costs as much
as two fighting airships. 1t lasts only
long enough to fire one hundred and
twenty shots. Then it is burnt-out
scrap iron. The life of a fighting
plane, costing half as much as sim
gle big gun, is equal to that of an or
binary forty-five million dreadnaught.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-10-09

Battleships, besides being obsolete,
are frightfully expensive, soon out of
date, worthless in peace. Flying ma
chimes, enough of them to make this
nation safe against attack by sea or
land, could be built without burden
some taxation, kept up with slight ex-
pense, and they would pay their way
in peace, twice over, in the mail SER
vice, and in spying out forest fires.

Bankers Decide To
Make Sacrifice OF
Governor McCray

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 2s.-
The attack of the government in the
trial of Governor McCray. on trial in
Federal Court on charges of using
the mails in a scheme to defraud, was
concentrated today on the character
of the paper offered by the governor
as collateral for loans or for discount

The prosecution was laying the
foundation to introduce evidence in

notes did not represent legitimate
business transactions and that in
many cases they were forgeries. More
than 100 bankers were sworn in as
witnesses for the government as court
opened today.
In rapid succession, District Attor-
ney Elliott called the banker Witness
es to the stand and quizzed them
briefly on their loans to McCray and
his efforts to get them to discount
"cattle paper" for him.

Young Rockefeller
Too Sick To Pay

he could not keep his engagement
with representatives Of 1900 Stand

of having cold, worker remarked:

BRITISH PRESS
SAYS AMEN TO
COOLIDGE TALK
Think MacD onald Will
Also 20. K" 1t
fspecIaI to The Daily Workers

LONDON, April 23.-The British
press joins in a fervent "Amen!" to
the views expressed by President
Coolidge in his New York speech.
They are especially delighted over
Coolidges Endorsement of the Nor
gan-Dawes Preparations plan, which
means the granting of a huge Ameri-
can loan to Germany to help her meet
her financial obligations to France.
It is generally claimed among the
organs Of British big business that
the Macdonald labor government can
not help but accept the propositions
advanced by Coolidge, especially the
one urging so-called limitation of
ornaments.
In view Of the Labor party's plat
form, urging limitation Of air, sub
marine and land forces, and Prime
Minister MacDonald's declaration
that such limitation is vital to the
preservation Of world peace, it is con-
sidered foregone conclusion that
Great Britain, as in the case of the
Washington conference, will be the
first nation to express official ap-
prevail Of Mr. Coolidge's suggestions
Expect MacDonaId's Approval.
1t is confidently expected MacDon-
aid will take the earliest opportunity
to make an official declaration of Brit
ish approval of the Coolidge sugges-
lions when Parliament resumes after
the Easter recess.
Meantime the British press warmly
praises the American Presidents re-
marks.
Characterizing the conference sug-
gestion as "of the highest impor-
tance," the Daily News adds:
IF a serious attempt is made by the
French government to torpedo this
new effort for peace, with all the
hopeful consequences that it implies,
the isolation of the French republic
then must be final and complete"

New York also Gets Police Visit.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Local New

was from the Department of Public
Welfare. Agents sent to the local
office had the books and literature of
the local placed at their disposal and
according to the report of Secretary
Weinstone, left, very pleased with
the administration.
Following the visit Of the agents
the secretary of the local received a
call from Deputy Commissioner Dod-
worth and went to the offices of the
Department Of Public Welfare ac-
companied by his attorney. Here
they learned this investigation and
questioning came as a result of a
complaint made by a member of the
Painters Union, A. +. of L. local
from which the F. S. r. received a

Third Degreeing Of
Prisoners Criminal,
This Judge Admits
(By The Federated Press.)

ST. LOUIS, April 2S.-Police bru-
tally toward suspects as means Of
exacting confessions to crime was re-
buked by Circuit Judge Hamilton in
his instructions to the grand jury.
The jurors were, told:
"Those who are sworn to detect
and suppress crime must not employ
illegal means in the performance of
their duty, and if it should come to
the attention of the grand jury that
any persons connected with the po-
lice department resort to illegal vio-
lence, they should be dealt with the
same as any other person who VIC
lates the law"
This same Hamilton then gassed as
follows to the new grand jury:
"You have no right, and l am sure
you have no disposition, to question
or assan the great foundation prin-
ciples upon which the structure of
our state has been erected, and in
this day, when the theories of bolshe-
vism are publicly proclaimed, and a
small but active minority of our peo-
pie are turning itching ears to radi-
cal, foreign and unwholesome doc
trines of government. / trust and ex-

Phillips Price Tells
How Socialist Party
Betrayed Germany

Right in line with what Alexan-
der Trachtenberg has been telling
workers audiences thruout this coun-
try is the material offered by M. Phil
lips Price in his recent book, Ger
many in Transition" The book shows
how between the betrayal by the So
cial Democratic Party and the Ger
man Capitalists the workers of Ger
many have been ground all along
and more than ever since the revolu-
ton of November, 1918. AS far as
the worker is concerned, the present
regime, dominated by industrial and
imperialist capitalism is no better
than was the monarchical regime. Ac-
cording to Price, there was nobody
except the workers to take over the
government after the debacle Of the
imperial regime. But instead of vic
tory for the workers we witnessed
the Social Democrats compromising
one point after another with the capt.
talist class.
AS for the role of the industrial ba-
rons of Germany, Price shows how
the industrialists were calmly max
ing business deals with the French
and English and other capitalists, and
did not hesitate to speculate with the
lives of German workers thru deliber-
ate currency imitation at the same
time that the workers were bearing
the brunt of the Ruhr fight. Prices
book can lead us to only one conclu-
sion, that if the workers OF the world
do not come to the aid Of the Ger
man workers, they will indeed be
crushed between the upper and meth
er millstones.

that means tram men on the low
level had to depend upon the skip or
cage. The cage would only accom-
modate about eight men to the trip
and each trip would consume three
minutes. The cage was unprotected
and the men often had their coats
torn in travelling up the shaft.
Saw Danger Signal.
At the 135-ft. level OF the mine
workings ran north from the main
shaft about 200 feet and drop about
80 feet to the 165-feet level. At this
point was timber slide and a tiimsy
ladder. The mine was wet and muddy
and some of the rooms were still hung
up and the blast men we're in danger.
Hung up means that the blast did not
cause the rock and upper strata to
come down solidly and allow for
proper bracing.
One miner quit work few days be-
fore the pond broke thru. He had
noticed the warning signals given by
the seepage of wet sand from above.
There were only three feet OF rock be-
tween the sand and the pond and he
decided to give up his s4.40 day job
for a while until things got safer.
Miners Ordered to Death.
The management had been asking
anxiously for a number OF days
whether the braces were holding pro-
perly but in spite OF the plain evidence
OF disaster they continued to order
the miners into the pit.
Then came the roar OF the torrent
as the pond suddenly disappeared
from the face of the earth and the
miners were overwhelmed and drown
ed like rats below.
The relentless greed OF the steel
trust has contributed to the strength
of the Farmer-Labor movement in this
part OF Minnesota.
