The Salem Knights of Pythias have adopted resolu­
tions denouncing certain, disloyal elements who have
raised violent hands against America and its laws, and
who “ by their venemous and murderous acts are disrupt­
ing the peace, harmony and safety of society” have tried
to bring about a state of anarchy. The resolutions de­
clare it the duty o f the government to stamp out this dan­
gerous element and its anarchistic propaganda, and pledges
the Salem Pythians full aid to accomplish such a result.
A minimum wage o f $20.00 for a 48-hour week for
female employes, and $4.00 for an 8-hour day are the pro­
visions o f a constitutional amendment filed with the secre­
tary of state last week. But is not to apply to farmers or
women employed at housework, though it is difficult to
see why the hardest workers of all are excepted. A more
sorely needed law is one limiting the labors of economic
“ nuts” and law tinkers to about 5 minutes per year. The
rest of the workers might then enjoy"a little freedom from
the activities o f the half baked law proposers.
Home is where the heart is, but the
heart picks out some most unusual
locations at' times. Rather near, ’as
Pacific ocean distances go, to the So­
ciety islands, is Pitcairn island. It is
certainly a lonesome spot, says the
New York Sun, and as fay back as
1856 the British authorities decided
that it was no fit place for human
habitation. So, the descendants of the
mutineers of the “Bounty” who had
settled there in 1790 were transferred
that year to the more inviting Norfolk
island.
Several families, however,
were so homesick that they went back
to Pitcairn.
The population from these few fam­
ilies has now increased until about 150
people are on the Island. Through in­
termarriage and other evils of isola­
tion these islanders have degenerated
and their retrogression undoubtedly
will end In their extermination.
