By Arthur Perry.
In all the battling spawned by the
longshoremen's strike, it Is signifi
cant that no labor leader has sus
tained a bruised head from a baseball
bat, or Inflamed lungs from tear gas.
The possibility of thla occurring la
aa remote as the Mikado being Jabbed
In the fleshy part of the thigh with

Cn.na should do to war. It has been
the theory that the way to stop wars
la to put those who benefit most on
the battlefields, and Industrial peace
might come quicker If all the brains
of a strike were on the docks with
the brawn, when the young civil wars
start.
Press reports reveal that a hungry
man who threatened suicide unless
given a hamburger aandwlch, was
aaved. They evidently did not give
him the hamburger, ,
Borne unscrupulous woman helped
DUUnger escape. She la more danger
ous to society than the desperado
himself. It Is she and her kind who
make him seek a life of crime.
(Klamath Falls Herald) Let's put
the blame right where It belongs. Her
father never took her to one side, and
had a heart-to-heart talk.
Stylea In backgrounds for Oregon
hell raisers have changed. Descend
ant of the recent Jackson county va
riety all arrived on the Mayflower.
In the current crop, all their Grand
paws crossed the plains behind a pair
of oxen. This adds considerable dig- j
nlty, and lends a pioneer atmosphere
to the nonsense. The a rand paws who
arrived on the Mayflower, and by bull
team, were full of sturdy American
Ism, and If among the living today,
their grandchildren would not be en
deavoring to rip the foundation out
from under the Democracy they
helped to establish.
Speaking of bulldog determination,
in the face of 17 brands of beer, and
67 beer-parlors, there Is the cltleen
who never recovered from trying to
be a home-brewer, and continues to
make his neighborhood smell of malt
and hops.

The action of the Oovernot in call

PLAIN INOKATITTnR.
An Italian barber of Baltimore,
brought up on Verdi, traveled all the
way to Jersey City last week, deter
mined to extirpate a crooner whose
broadcasts In the atudlo there were
not to his liking. He managed some
how to slip into the broadcasting
room and found his enemy busy at
work overloading the ether with sob
stuff. He fell upon him without ex
plaining the nature of his errand and
had bhn half strangled before the
proceedings were unfortunately Inter
rupted by the Intrusion of studio
hirelings.
For some obscure reason or other.
Instead of starting a movement at
once to give the barhrr the freedom
of Jersey City, or a life pension, or a
banquet, or at the very least erect a
monument to him atop of the Pall
aadte, the authorities ruthlessly led
him off to Jail. The rrnoner was let
go. (Boston Transcript.)

Editorial Correspondence
CHICAGO, 111., July On this extended eastern pilgrim
age we have heard no man in public life, more bitterly and
universally panned than General Hugh Johnson, major domo
of the NBA. "A martinet and windbag with no more knowledge
of practical business, than a jackrabbit," would be a mild sum
ming up of Big Business opinion.
General Johnson's practical knowledge of business may be
meagre but to our mind, in this industrial crisis on the Pacific
eoast, be has shown high qualities of intelligent leadership and
sound statesmanship.
lie has taken a middle ground, which in this crisis, as in
most crises, is the only right ground. He is alike opposed to
the dictatorship of a radical Or an ultra conservative minority.
He is against the foreign agitator who would incite a clans war;
he is also against the reactionary die hard, who would seize the
present opportunity to crush organized labor, and try to return
this country to a condition of industrial servitude.
He is for the upholding of our democratio institutions, the
securing of industrial and social peace, through a just and fair
settlement of differences, on a basis of the square deal to all,
and Bpccia! privileges to none.
On this program we are behind the somewhat intemperate
general till the cows come home, and believe a vast majority of
the people of this country, arc, or SHOULD be.
....
A score of people in this seething metropolis died from the
heat yesterday, and your correspondent considers himself lucky
that he was not listed among the number. There is only one
word for this Chicago combination of heat and humidity, and
that word is "killing."
That only twenty people succumbed, is a high tribute to the
powers of adjustment and resistance, that the human race has
acquired, under the strains and stresses of a modern civilization.
When the heat was at a maiimum, we undertook another
foray into the Century of 1'rogrcss, and about four o'clock were
packed in with about a hundred other "nuts" before an exhibit
in Ripley's "Believe it or not" Odditorium.
The neurotic appearing "barker" was showing the boobs,
the physiological idiosyncracics
mens, a man and a woman. Just ns some beetle browed and
evil looking female, masquerading in a nurse's costume, pulled
up the body of one exhibit and let it fall, on the operating table,
with a dull thud, and then vibrate, like a grotesque and macabre
tuning fork, someone in front of us dropped to the floor, as if
hit by an invisible sledge hammer.
The crowd fell bark. There a young girl lay prone on her
face, the World's Fair cane she had been carrying clattered
away from her on the wooden floor.
....
An usher forced himself through the crowd, brushed aside
the girl's boy friend, who stood there lookine at the nronc
figure as if he were paralyzed, knelt down and applied what
he no doubt regarded as first aid. This consisted in trvinir to
pull the poor girl to her feet, by main force. FORTUNATELY,
someone with as much sense as a primary-grade boy scout,
interfered, rested the younsr lady's head unon a folded coat.
elevated her feet, and applied
consciousness quickly, but was still dazed and as white as a
pan of milk. Her rescuer, now assisted by the usher, helped her
to her feet, and the nitwit escort, having retrieved the cane,
followed them to the nearest exit.
This incident only consumed perhaps a couple of minutes,
though it seemed to at least one witness as much longer. The
dope addict resumed his "barking" and the crowd packed in a
solid mass again, moved on to see a colored gent who looked ns
though he had just escaped from the chain gnng, push a hatpin
through his nose, and drive a ten penny nail, into one nostril I

Having a pass we were shunted to a side entrance where we
met the great Mr. Ripley, who presented us with a mimeograph

prised to find the Mail Tribune not numbered among his clients.

alone only when
he can find no
good excuse to

In one respect
it Is not quite
fair to compare
t.-.c g.uuci. with the drunkard. One
who craves alcohol has deliberately
cultivated a taste for liquor, In spite
of all warnings against resorting to
It In the first place. One who eats
too much good food la merely striv
ing to satisfy a demand of the body
for nutriment, a demand Jie certainly
did not cultivate. However, It ap
pears that what U good for the glut
ton Is good for the sot. There is
some similarity between the craving
for alcohol and the craving for exces
sive food, and perhaps by removing
or satisfying the latter we can cor
rect the latter. Mind, I don't know
anything specific about this. It's Just
one of those crazy notions that pop
into my head sometimes.
Years ago I conceived the theory,
and broached it here any of you old
timers remember? that the boiling
of coffee for breakfast must be what
drives a lot of men to drink. I had
observed that the men In homes or
boarding houses where you can smell
the coffee boiling before you get down
to stop the outrage were likely to be
confirmed drinkers, and I sympa
thized with them and thought by
Jingo if I ever marry wife who
treats the coffee like ' flat I'll take

But I manage to keep calm and un
flabbcrgasted when I smell the coffee
being ruined nowadays. I've revised
my earlier theory about the relation
between the foul concoction left after
you have driven the aroma off from
a pot of coffee and the craving for
strong drink. You see, we hadn't
heard about vitamins when I formu
lated my theory.
Now I believe the dissipation of the
aroma of the coffee Into the air is
only an earnest, so to speak, of what
the housewife or cook Is doing to the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Ivy Poison.
Troubled with poison ivy and su
mac. Have tried hypo soda, sugar of
lead, potassium permanganate, gaso
line and two prescriptions from doc
tors. It keeps coming back every
year. I have heard of taking fluid
extract of Ivy or eating a leaf In the
spring . , . B. O. H.
Answer Many persons subject to
recurring ivy poisoning believe they
gain Immunity by eating, not a whole
leaf, but a wee portion of a leaf of
poison ivy In the early spring, aay a
portion the size of a rice grain. If
this causes no Irritation of the mouth
or stomach, a week later eat half a
leaf. Then if no unpleasant reac
tion; after another week chew a
whole leaf. Or the same effect may
be obtained by eating the Ivy berry.
Send stamped envelope bearing your
address and ask for monograph on
ivy poisoning. It- gives directions for
taking a homeopathic dose progres
sively increased to develop Immunity.
Any of these methods may be of par
ticular value In cases of chronic der
matitis following Ivy poisoning.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
YOU may be tired of the strike, as
a subject for reading and con
versation, but you can't fall to be in
terested In this dispatch from San
Francisco:
The loss to business and commerce
from Paclflo Coast strikes since the
longshoremen started the walkout
movement on May 9 exceeds TWO
HUNDRED MILLION dollars, esti
mates obtained by the Associated
Press today Indicated.
"This doea not Include San Fran
cisco bay general strike losses, which
were Incalculable."
WHO will pay this two hundred
million dollar loss, do you ask?
Why, we ALL will, of course. In
one way or another, each of us will
dig down Into his pocket and pay his
share of this two and a half months
of Industrial warfare Just as each of
us, In one way an another, has paid
his share of the cost of the world
war.
No one can escape paying his share
of losses that affect the entire com
munity. YOU read In this volumn the other
day that the tax bill for the
United States last year amounted to
the enormous sum of nine billion
dollars- -approximately a 1 ,500,000,000
more than was spent for food In the
same period.
You may have chuckled, and aald
to yourself: "Aha, somebody ELSE
paid that bill, for X pay no taxes.'
Don't fool yourself. You paid your
share of that nine billion dollar tax
bill, whether or not you put up a
cent directly to the tax collector. It
entered into the cost of doing busi
ness, si- jad to jt added to the price
of EVERYTHING you bought.
Because of that staggeringly heavy
tax load, the burden YOU carried was
heavier than It would otherwise have
been.
IN ALMOST every issue of the news
papers and the magazines we read
and In practically every release of
newsreels we see, we are told of the
damage that is being wrought by
drouth In the Middle West.
Here on the Pacific coast, our
crops are uniformly good and because
of drouth damage in the Middle West
prices for what we will harvest this
fall are higher than they would other,
wise have been.
So we may say to ourselves: "The
drouth In the Mississippi valley is
helping us, Instead of hurting us.
What Is their loss back there is OUR
GAIN."
AGAIN, don't fool yourself.
Whatever hurts any considerable
part of this great country hurts ALL
OF US in the long run.
We may think at the moment that
because of the drouth In the Middle
West, which reduces production there
and ao Increases the price of what
we have to sell, we are better off.
But, In the long run, we WON'T
be.
THE MIDDLE WEST eats our fruit
and uses our lumber. When crope
are good and the great Mississippi
Valley la prosperous. It has the money
with which to buy what we have to
sell.
But when crops are bad and the
Mississippi Valley ISN'T prosperous,
we suffer along with It through loss
of markets for what we have to sell.
ALL OF WHICH brings us back to
the strike, and the losses suf
fered on the Pacific Coast as a re
sult of it. These losses will be shared
by everybody capital and labor and
the great neutral body known as the
public.
It's a pity we can't all get together
and settle our differences in a lf
costly way.
Communications
Thinks 40 Cents Reasonable.
To the Editor:
On Thursday night, July 19, the
Cannery and Agricultural Workers"
Industrial Union held Its wage con
ference, where they voted by the rank
and file that 40 cents per nour would
be their demand. Now we think this
a reasonable demand for which we
hereby present our figures.
According to figures gathered from
various farmers show that the cost of
producing one ton of pears, all labor,
water and material used for spray
figured, also delivery charges to pack
ing shed, ranges from 110 to 120 pe
ton, leaving the grower a profit of
13 50 at the maximum cost, If he

tratlon are full of bustle and serious
thinking.
The bustle Is produced not only by
the coming and going of messengers,
but also by the scores of candidates
for positions. Staifs for both of these
bodies have to be created and, besides
that, particularly In the case of the
stock exchange committee, an ex
haustive set of regulations has to be
worked out. It will be some time be
fore the machinery will be completed
and In smooth working order.
Incidentally, In regard to the stock
exchange committee, Joseph P. Ken
nedy, the chairman, red-headed and
father of nine children, appears to
have overcome entirely the suspicion
with which he was at first regarded
in anti-Wall street quarters. Because
he had been a speculator and opera
tor of several lucrative pools, the so
called liberal crowd was very frosty
toward his appointment and readv to
snarl when he appeared to take up
his duties. But this did not happen.
K-enneoy has such a ready, cordial
and engaging manner that he soon
had even the critical warming up to
him.
