THE DUKE MILLIONS
plan.

Much slush has been appearing in
the daily newspapers about Miss
Doris Duke, called the richest girl
in the world. Miss Duke, daughter
of the late James B. Duke, tobacco
magnate, came into possession of
some $30,OO0,OOO on her 21st birth
day, on November g. She has ''five
palatial homes, a corps of servants
and every luxury that wealth can
bring" to quote the tabloids.
How much better it would have
been if Miss Dukes father had left
her less and during his lifetime given
more to his employees and to the
farmers who raised the tobacco used
in his factories. His daughter has
many, many more millions of dollars
than she has any use for. Distributed
in the form of higher wages among
the Duke employees and in the form
of higher prices for tobacco, the
money would have been productive of
infinitely more good to society.

Anyway, be these things as they may,
there is going to be fun in the land.
There is going to be vast flying
of fur and feathers.
Not for nothing has the banking in
vestigation been put through its
PAGES.
Not for the sole purpose of parad-
ing old facts has it run its course.
The trick in that move was to pro-
vide staging of the horrendous ma
ture of Old Man Wall Street just as
the new congress comes into being.
Who, let us ask, can befriend such
an unspeakable institution as it has
been shown through these weeks to
be?
Mr.. Sprague should have given
thought to that before he penned his
love note to Wall street and mailed
it to the president.
These be parlous times for the
Big Money boys, ladies and gentle
men.
Stop, Look and Listen should be
their motto!
Move On will be the order to them.

The restaurateur is Otto Bonahoon

CIGAR MAKERS SHOW THE WAY

The Cigar Makers international
Union, which has been at the fore
front of every labor advance since the
days of it's organization is again
taking the lead in labor progress.
The Cigar Makers are proposing
that when the machine displaces
workers in the cigar industry, it must
bear a share of the burden of that
displacement, by a contribution of
cash per machine to help tide the
displaced workers over until they can
be placed in other occupations.
eve contend" said President /. M.
Ornburn, of the union, "that the time
has passed when machine can come
along and throw workers into the dis
card without compunction and without
relief"
The proposal is well described by
President Ornburn as the first con-
structive plan for meeting the issue
of unemployment caused by the in
PRODUCTION of machines. 1t shows the
way for all industry and it merits the
most serious consideration by those
administering the national recovery
plan.

Word Juggernaut Means
"Lord of the World"

The name Juggernaut itself Is an
Angelicized corruption of the Hindu
Jagannath, the name of vishnu or
Krishna In one of his manifestations.
It means literally "lord Of the world"
It IL the name Of an idol in the
temple ut Puri India. The temple itself
ID magnificent one, built In 1893. at
a cost Of $2,50O,00O, while the idol
consists Of an irregular block Of stone,
pyramfdal in shape, having two large
diamonds for eyes,
On its festal days the idol IL con-
veysd to another shrine on 4 mag
niflcent car, IS feet high and 35 feet
square, having 18 wheels. each Z feet
In diameter. The number Of pilgrims
who visit the temple was formerly es-
timated at 100000 year. At the
present day 100000 or more may as
semble there on the great festivals.
The statement that fanatical dew
otees OF Vishnu throw themselves un-
der the wheels Of the heavy car. hop
ing thereby to attain eternal bliss, has
been shown to be untrue. Loss of life
has occasionally occurred, due to the
pressure Of the huge throngs, but this
has been accidental. Death within
the gods temple, or the spilling Of
blood In his presence, is considered a
defilement.
The word Juggernaut has neverthe-
less passed into the English language
az a symbol Of blind devotion or ruth
less sacrifice.

LABOR AND PEACE

No individual or organization is
more anxious to obtain and maintain
peace in the nations industries than
organized labor. However, labor can
not submit to bargain offer for
peace. 1t will not promise the en-
ployer to maintain peace except un-
der certain conditions. The condi-
tions that labor expects of the en-
ployer in order to maintain peace, are
a decent weekly wage, wholesome
working conditions and equal rights
for all rs.-International En-

IN APPRECIATION OF
ROOSEVELT

Sometimes it is good for Americans
to see their chief executive through
eyes of an alien. Walter Nash, bril-
liant leader of the New Zealand la
Dor party, was in Washington during
the past month. To few friends he
said: "The speech of President Roose-
velt outlining policies of the national
recovery administration is the most
profoundly fundamental of any made
by any chief personality in any ma
tion in the last 100 years.
He had this fundamental declara-
ton in mind:
"In my inaugural I laid down the
simple proposition that NOBODY is
going to starve in this country. 1t
seems to me to be equally plain that
no business which depends for exist
ence on paying less than living wages
to it's workers has any right to con-
tinue in this country. BY business"
/ mean the whole of commerce as we'll
as the whole of industry; by workers
| mean all workers-the white-collar
class as well as the men in oyeralls;
and by living wages / mean more
han bare subsistence level-I mean
he wages Of decent living"

Jade 10 Valued Highly
by Chinese and Japanese

Jade is not usually counted among
the precious stones. yet to the Chinese
and Japanese 1t Is the most valuable
OF all gems, says the washington Star.
In fact, they measure the value Of all
other stones In terms Of jade. The
Chinese say jade is q combination Of
the five cardinal virtues: Jim, charity;
Gi, modesty; Yu, courage; Ketsu. jus
tice, and Chi, wisdom. They carve 1t
most exquisitely In elaborate and
fragile designs, for 1t Is no harder
than ordinary glass; and SO Is not diff
fcult to work upon. It Is frequently
used for carvings Of the figures of the
Chinese gods.
Jade includes two stones which are
very similar In appearance, greensboro
and jadeite. Both are fbrous and
tough and greenish Greensboro. or
nephrite as 1t Is usually called, Is the
more common and less valuable Of
the two. When examined under the
microscope, 1t Is found to be made Of
4 great many hard fibers closely mat.
ted together The color varies from a
sort Of gray to leaf and dark green,
the color being darker when iron,
which Is one Of the minerals in 1t, is
present In large quantity.
Jadeite Is much more highly priced
by Chinese than ordinary nephrite. It
takes greasy luster when 1t Is pol
ished. The color varies from white to
an emerald green. The finest is found
lying in dark green. ribbon-like for
nations in boulders In Burma. It Is
priced almost as much as the costly
rubies which pour out OF Burma's
mines and are carried away by cara
van. All the Burma Jade Is sent to
China to be made into Chinese
1ewelry.

lawyer, and A. l.. Scott, industrial
engineer, to make a sweeping study
OF ways and means to control the
liquor traffic. Their report, recently
released, is long, thorough, and dis
passionate. Theme song of the report
Is that the greatest of all liquor prob
lens is private profit, and that it
should be eliminated Each state
should form an alcohol control au-
thority with retail outlets of its own
"a la the system in vogue in the
Canadian provinces-for hard liouor.
1t would fix prices, and all profits go
to the state. Beer and wine could be
sold In hotels, restaurants, grocery
stores, ETC., under regulation of the
authority. 1t would have the author
ity to establish dry zones within the
state when local sentiment was IA
vorable.
The licensing system-which has
been persuasively pushed of late
is severely criticized, inasmuch as it
still leaves the problem of profit, be-
comes involved with politics, tends to
encourage, rather than to discourage,
overdrinking.
On the burning subject of liquor
taxes, Lne report recommends that the
tax rate should vary with drinks
alcoholic content, it's price, and it's
social value" The tax on beer would
not be more than 10 cents a gallon;
on such luxuries as sparkling wines,
So a gallon; and on whiskey, SO q gall
Ion. Estimated tax revenue, on this
basis, is s7OO,OOo,Oo0 year-almost
twice total federal income tax returns
for 1888.

themselves awake to conditions. In
advertisements they are
urging public cooperation and ad-
yocating temperance.

" Where with our
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly. !.

Great was the beating of tom-toms
when DR.. O. M. w. Sprague resigned
as United States treasury facto-
tum.
Here was big man of the world
of money who took it on the lam when
he couldn't have his way.
Unlike others who have crept away
from the Roosevelt cyclone, he didn't
go quietly out into the night. He
made big noise and the big noise
newspapers helped make the welkin
ring.
Soon Mr.. Sprague will be forgot
ten man. But let us not forget what
the thing means.
Sprague is a man among big money
men. The newspapers talk about
sound money, but really its big
money they mean. That's what Mr..
Sprague means, too, little lambs. BIG
MONEY with capital B and cap
ital M.
There is every reason to believe
that DR.. Sprague's important friends
are in Wall street. 1t is clear they
are not in the white house.
1t is clear that this event draws
to finer point the bitter hostility
between Wall street and Roosevelt.
The nation isn't paying enough
attention to that hostility.
Unless all signs are wrong, the
present occupant Of the white house
is determined to shear Wall street of
it's power to rule American industry
and politics. In other words he in
tends to give Wall street sharp
cleave across the neck, completely
severing the head Wall street is just
about dead now and doesn't know it.
Thumbs are down on excess prof
it's, unlicensed privilege and the gen
eral whoopee with which Wall street
got that way. Unless that is consid-
cred along with the Sprague exit the
story isn't half unfolded.
Labor is for sound money, too. Make
no mistake about that. Labor wants
no tin dimes or shrinking dollars.
Labor's trouble has been to get
enough good dollars to be good for
anything.
But labor has no intention of be-
ing tricked into worrying about the
fate of sound money just because a
Wall streeter doesn't stick around to
see the New Deal worked out.
Unquestionably Wall street is she'd
ding tears in the hope that it will
create an example for the rest of US,
so that we will dig in and help the
Royal gorge of New York save its
bacon.
Capitalists have always tried to put
square cap on labor's head, to make
him look like that kind of a block
head, but it just doesn't work out that
way. Labor is wiser than it's foes
give it credit for being.
