Some people are so unfortunate as
to have gained their first Impressions
OF St. Patrick from the r0llicking old
song which bears his name. was
one OF them, but received a new light
on st. Patrick from one OF whose an
cestral country he was the patron
saint, and now, whenever a fiippant
thought OF the good saint comes to
mind. there comes also picture Of
the reyereHtial face of little Irish
woman who kept a shop in an old Mis-
souri, toxin, a pleasant shop with q
flower garden 70 the rear.
On a certain spring day when the
elm trees in the courthouse yard
across from the shop had begun "a
wearin' o. the green" and the shop
windows were decorated with sham
rocks, some young people entered the
shop seeking fayors and games for
st. Patrick's day party They espe=
cially desired comic head of st. Pat
rick, the sort that has a wide-open
mouth, into which blindfolded players
attempt to toss potatoes. They found
no such pictures In that shop. and
after the other customers had left the
proprietor said to me. with a sweet
tone Of tolerance softenIng the indie-
nation that WIS mIrrored on her face:
"Those girls are merely thoughtless.
They do not realize their lrreverence.
But suppose someone should plan a
party for Washington's birthday and
should have a caricature Of our great
lIberator and throw cherries into the
mouth. Think what an uproar of con.
demnatlon there wonld be! 1t is a
great deed to bring civil liberty to a
country, and likewise 1t Is great, as
St Patrick did. TO strike the shackIes
OF paganlsm from the souls Of people
and cause the truths OF Christianity
to shine upon them"
Then for me was stripped from st.
Patrick's name all the impossible sto-
ries with which tradition has clustered /
It. and St Patrick the man, human
and kindly, brave and gallant. a mis-
sionary OF the very first order, stood
out TO view.--B. E. r., In the Kansas

Washington, D. C.-Senator
Norris gives notice that he will
combat a repeal of the publicity
section of the income tax bill.
The tax bill, with its repeal provi
sion Of the publicity clause, was pass
ed by the house, but the Norris dec
laration indicates that fight awaits
it in the senate.
The Nebraska lawmaker insists
that the cry for secrecy of income tax
returns is simply a demand on the
part Of interested millionaires to
avoid tax payments. He will insist
on greater publicity. The special SEN
ate committee of which Senator Couz-
ems is chairman, he said, has already
shown that "big business" through
secrecy of the internal revenue bu-
reau, has been able to avoid the pay
ment of many millions of dollars and
that the MANIPULATION in the bureau
continues.
He charges that secrecy meant giv
ing to the steel trust about $21 ,000,-
900 in tax refunds; to the Gulf oil
company, one of the Mellon interests,
about $4,000,000; to the aluminium
trust, another Mellon interest, about
$2,000,000; to the Standard Oil COM
pany of California, about $3,000,000
and that the treasury has so handled
the returns of the Sinclair Oil COM
pany that the cases of that concern of
1916 are not yet closed.
Senator Norris denied that any evil
dence has been produced to show harm
or injury by the present inadequate
publicity provision. He said that al
extension of this unlimited publicity
would increase the revenue of the gov
ernment by many thousands of dollars
and save abuses.
"There will be full discussion in
the senate of these conditions" he
said, "and we will know just what We
are voting for when we vote for Sc
crecy. | feel confident that the SEN
ate is not going to vote for secrecy
in governmental affairs in the face 81
this record"

SOME PROFIT
Eighty-Six Million Dollars For the
Van Sweringen Brothers

Washington, D. C.-The Van Swer-
ingen brothers, promoters of the pro-
posed Nickel Plate railroad m merger rye
stand to pile up profits of $4,000,
coo, said Henry w. Anderson, counsel
for Chesapeake & Ohio minority
stockholders, before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The attorney presented list of the
methods by which this profit will ac-
crue. The purpose behind the mer-
ger is not public service, he said, but
large private profits for powerful
banking interests.
"The present plan," continued Mr.
Anderson, provides no new road OF
facilities and no new capital, but pro
poses an immediate increase in divi-
dends of $6,700,000 annually. The
public gets nothing, but pays 10 pei
cent on the $86,000,000 of profits, and
we are told that this is in the public
interest"

Labor Would End
Injunction Evil
Which Is Menace
Trade Unionists Want to Be
Free From Judicial
Abuse of Power

Washington, D. C.-Labor is
determined to abolish the labor
injunction evil, says President
Green, in a leading editorial on
this subject in the American
Federationist, current issue.
This question will have priority
in labor's program the coming
year.
"At no time in its history" says
Mr.. Green, 'has the A. f. Of l.. been
studying with greater concern the
problem of finding legislative meth
cd to wipe out misuse of this pro
cess.
"After experimenting with efforts
to define conditions under which in
functions might not be issued, the
executive council recommend to the
Atlantic City convention the following
legislative method: That the field OF
industrial relations be specifically eX-
cluded from equity jurisdiction and
that all legal questions arising from
such causes be referred to courts Of
law for hearing and necessary re-
Dress"
President Green says every effort
has failed to define terms and condl-
tions which should apply to industrial
relations, and to check judges from
exercising their discretion in extend
ing equity power to the industrial
field.
With the extension of this power
and the building up Of irresponsible
equity law, which influences other
courts, the situation constitutes a
menace not only to labor, but to the
principle of government by law, said
Presiden Green.
"All federal courts except the su-
preme court are constituted under
legislation enacted by congress. Con-
gress has the right and the duty to
amend or modify that legislation in
the light of experience. A similar
situation holds with reference to state
courts.
Labor, therefore, proposes limita-
tion of equity jurisdiction to the de-
termination and protection of titles to
tangible properties and to questions
arising herefrom, and that all other
judicial questions, especially to those
pertaining to contracts of employment
individual Or collective, or arising out
of industrial relations, shall be con-
fined exclusively to law courts.
"a conspicuous example of why
labor makes this proposal is the sit
uation in West Virginia. The equity
courts of that state treat the miners
unions as illegal organizations and
forbid organizing work and other
normal functions of a union. The
courts have sought to prevent collec-
tive action on the part of the miners
at a time when important industrial
issues are in the making.
"Trade unionists want to be free
from the tyranny of judicial discre-
ton.
eve are determined to be free
from injustice through the abuse of
the injunction writ.
