W., have been driven out of an Arizona mining town and are now being fed by the government at Columbus, N. M. It appears that the mine owners and their hirelings took advantage of the I. W. W. scare to remove not only the strikers but everybody who sympathized with them or had given them assist ance in any way. Included amontr the two thousand are business and professional men, own ers of homes and property. While without doubt there were militant I. W. W. amonjr them, a number were loyal, patriotic citizens who had proved themselves as such by purchasing Liberty Bonds and contributing liberal!' to the Red Cross. Then, the mine owners by misrepresentation and fraud induced the telegraph and telephone com panies to recognize a censorship so that their un lawful work would be kept from the outside world as long1 as possible. The I. W. W should be suppressed and its members severely dealt with if found guilty of any crimes, and at the same time some way should be found to punish all unscrupulous persons and corporations who use the name to hoodwink the public and take advantage of a chaotic situation to further selfish personal interests. If the citizens of any community contributed as liberally to the support of an educational and amusement feature, operated and controlled locally, as they do to the Chautauqua, better talent could be secured for the same expenditure. In other words, a community, with the same amount of money, if not less, could provide a better week's entertainment than is given by any concern promoting Chautauquas and lecture courses. Then again, if all communities, or most of them, would refuse to give the usual guarantees demanded, the Chautauqua and lyceum pro moters would assume the financial risks and provide the talent just the same. A circus comes to town, puts up its tent and gives an exhibition without guarantee. Chautauquas and lyceum courses, like circuses, are run for the money there is in it, and one is no more entitled to favors than the other.

V. that is dangerous to the peace and happiness of this Republic. While it has never been charged that any of the "gentlemen" comprising it have fomented a strike, poisoned a well or put pul verized glass in any mule's lunch basket, they have made such a "reputation" in their particular work that Mr. Hoover, the government food ex pert, says that they ought to be hung. It looks as if the average family will have to go on short rations this winter unless the government steps in and does some dictating". It's up the head of the house, whether male or female, to put aside as much as possible now for the lean days ol December and January. It seems to be the prevailing habit of the daily newspapers to bunch all the "scares" and "plots" on the first page under glaring headlines and then run the denials tht next day on the market or woman's pages, fir ' 4 X ft i' rt-A if) -AlJl If I if UI'I'tH, MAJOIt OI'DYCKC; LOWER, SIGNAL COUPS NAN.
