II JACKSON D. CARLISLE Of Chicago
= is no more than anybody else
would be after having his head almost
Acompletely separated from his body
by sharp instrument, with suspi-
tcions fixed on an axe. Our interest
lcenters on Carlisle because Of his
hconnections with various adventures
that did not have the welfare of any
body in particular, except Carlisle in
hnind. One of those was the reaction
lary Orozco revolt in Mexico in 1912
against the Madero government.
iONE of Carlisle's accomplishments
" in that revolt was attaching boxes
tof dynamite to the cowcatcher of a
locomotive, opening the throttle and
running it into the ranks of the Ma
dero troops, many of whom were
slaughtered by the ensuing explosion.
Now, Carlisles surviving friends
I would not be at all surprised to learn
THAT Carlisle got the axe from some
lone who did not appreciate his serv-
ices to civilization. The fellow who
said that the wages of sin is death
said mouthful tho all people ex-
cept christian scientists die sooner or
later.
MAS Frank Harrington justified in
w accepting a position from coal
| company at five times the salary paid
/ him by the Illinois Miners Union? All
progressive trade .unionists will say
t"No.'' The reactionaries will say
nothing, not wishing to put anything
on paper that could be quoted against
I them when they cash in. Harrington
/ is no more of a political turp for
having accepted a salary from the
! Peabody Coal company than William
! B. Wilson, in accepting a paid job in
the Wilson cabinet. Yet Wilson is
supported for senator in Pennsylvania
on the democrat ticket by the so-call1
ed labor press that will not dare ex-
onerate Harrington.
HARRINGTON has done all the
harm he could to the Illinois min
lers while he was their district presi-
dent In all probability his salary is
much in the nature of a compensa-
tion for past services to the Peabody
Coal company as for what he may
be able Ito do for them in the future.
1t would be we'll for the coal miners
{of the United States if John l.. Lewis
/ got on some operators payroll and
stopped drawing large salary from
the international union.
TIME Coolidge hackers for another
L term insist that the man who
claimed that he broke the Boston po-
! lice strike is responsible for the pros
perity that obtains in this country at
the present time. Needless to say, the
workers who produce this wealth re-
ceive only a minority fraction of Vt.
! Coolidge has no more to do with At
f, than the ashes of King Tut, but his
I presence in the White House assures
capital that in case the workers in
sist on getting a bigger slice of this
prosperity, the injunction will be kept
busy and the armed forces, If neces-
sRry.
Z QUEEN MARIE Of Roumania will
VI not be able to get here as soon
as she expected owing to the inability
of the steamship companies to pro-
vide her with royal suite. Marie
will not travel otherwise. All the roy
al suites were engaged by sausage
magnates and screen princesses and
what had the queen of Roumania on
them? Nothing One of those suites
costs $4,000 for a one-way trip. This
means that the queen will drop $1O,-
900 for the 'hwo1way jaunt.
DoUMANLA is rich IN mineral
~ wealth, but is hampered by a re-
dictionary and grating government.
Its aristocracy is about the most use
less aggregation OF parasites In Eu-
rope. Marie is coming here on a Ash
ing expedition. She is a good col
lector and has a daughter for sale. II
she can get rid of the daughter on
the American market. before queens
get to jostling each other on Michi-
gan Avenue, she should be able to
