We are reaping the rewards of the
recent World War in the wide spread
depression and distress that is laying
such a heavy hand on the people of
this and other countries, yet despite
this terrible and lasting reminder of
war and the distress that follows in
its wake for long years after, we
hear the rumblings of another one
that threatens at any minute to
involve us.
We even hear ridiculous remarks
that another war will bring pros
perity, Embarrassing prices, etc.
But war does not bring prosperity,
it's results are the direct opposite of
this, as conditions throughout the
land at this time prove.
Generations yet unborn will not
finish paying for the last war in which
we became involved,-th "war to
end war;" so we were told.
Our present troubles may be traced
to that war, and to talk of taking part
in the present scrap in China leads
one to think that even experience
does not teach us anything.

Prohibition cases, resulting in 81
convictions out of every 100 trials
during January, now show the most
efficient prosecution of all types of
suits brought by the Government.
Col. Amos w. w. Woodcock, Direc-
tor of the Bureau of Prohibition,
declares.
The record for successful prosecu-
ton was established in January
when the ratio of convictions of total
cases rose to 81 per cent, four points
above the average for 1881, which
was 81 per cent, and two points above
the average for the last half of 1881,
SO per cent. Col. Woodcock said
orally, adding that the prosecution
statistics were the most encouraging
part of the January report.

Artists Praise of Trips

Like many another famous artist.
Auguste Rodin gave considerable
thought to the amenities Of the table.
and laid 1t down that the two finest
dishes ever conceived were roast rab-
bit and boiled tripe. writes q columnist
in the Manchester (England) Guar
dian. He carried his gastronomic taste
into his criticism Of art, and used his
two favorite dishes as standards of
perfection. His strongest charge
against colleagues work was that
it ''had no rabbit"
OF tripe he grew almost lyrical.
Does it not look like the stones of
an old cathedral?" he once demanded
of a guest. "This tripe, with its warm
tones. its crinkles. its crevices, makes
me think Of the cathedral Of Beau
vais."

1t is too often assumed that reduc-
ton of ornaments must necessar-
lily mean increased unemployment;
that such unemployment is just one
part Of the price which we must pay
for the achievement Of a great end.
But the assumption is entirely false.
Disarmament will not diminish en-
ployment, it will increase it; it will
be one of the ways out of unemploy-
ment. The assumption upon which
the contrary opinion is held is fall
lacy which we should all do our best
to explode.

Frat Apple Dumplins

1t is said to have been George III
who asked how the apple got inside
the dumping. Here, then, is the true
story of its origin, as related in Nor
folk. 1t goes like this: Once upon a
time there was worthy Norfolk farm
er who had pretty Norfolk wife. He
compared her cheeks with apples. He
asserted fondly that he would like
to eat them. $50 you SHALL" replied
the wife. swat until tomorrow" And
when the morrow came she set before

So the farmer laughed hugely and gave

shot from the watchcman's gun. The

ployed veteran.
The aftermath of this affair was
brought about by the reign of terror
against unemployed workers by the
police and boss class TO suppress the

oppression that has been directed
against these homeless men who are
forced to live on the garbage and the

been made by the police who are
making q series Of arrests of all I'M

ges. Stanley Broczynski, and Igna-
titus Panik, two unemployed men
have been arrested, and every effort
is being made by the police to frame
them up on charges of having mw-
dered the Waterman.
Shortly before the murder took
place, 8 unemployed men were ar
ranged in the bosses court here on
charges OF vagrancy. Two OF these
were held for further investigation,
while the others received sentences
Of go days imprisonment. These
men had been forced to find shelter
on the city dump on account of their
