Economic Pressure of Industrial Conflict Not
Unlike War Blockade
By JUDGE W. L. HUGGINS, Kansas Industrial Court.
The economic pressure of industrial conflict is not unlike the eco
nomic pressure of the blockade in international warfare. It is the duty
of the government to protect the life, the liberty, the health and the
peace of the people. It makes no difference by whom the public is
threatened, whether by organized labor, by organized capital, by organized
insurrection or by a foreign enemy.
All over this land today the domestic tranquility is being impaired,
justice is failing, the general welfare is threatened, the liberty of the
individual is denied, and there is no common defense because there is
no law by which their conditions can be controlled. If prompt, vigorous
action be not taken in the near future, the people of America may suffer
infinitely more than they suffered in the "World war.
1 am confident that power lies with congress to provide for tho com
mon defense against such conditions as now exist, as adequately as
against invasion from a foreign foe.
I believe that congress should and will in near future enact a law
aimijar in import to the Kansas industrial act, that a tribunal of a high
judiciary nature will. Ik1 established and be given jurisdiction over indus
trial controversies in interstate and foreign commerce and in the pro
duction of fuel. This, it seems to me, Avould be clearly within the com
merce clause of the Constitution.
"I Say That That Is Utterly Destructive of Our
Scheme of Government"
MARTVRS TO ACTIVE LIFE
Reading hi the obituaries of a single
day of the death of two famous and
strenuous disciples of outdoor living
and sportsniifnship, one of whom was
bum in 1870, the other in IS?'-, you
cannot but question, as often, the ef
fect on the heart and other organs of
mountain climbing, bunting trips and
other similar forms of hard exercise.
Probably if the appropriate actuarial
statistics could be gathered it would
appear that enjoyment of such di
versions should be attended with
knowledge that instead of lengthening
life, as popularly supposed, it often
leads to a premature cud, says the
Lowell Courier-Citi '.en. If, of course,
a man prefers to take that chance
rather than lose the fun of running
up Pike's Peak or rafting down the
Nelson river, that Is his right as a
rational human being. He should at
least be aware that persisting in his
course in middle age he is more likely
to commit suicide than to stick around
until lie is one hundred, bragging to
the young folks about what u life-long
habit of roughing it has done for him.

various activities which are property the function of
the states is fundamentally and economically wrong.
The extension of federal aid and undo;1 that
g-:i-e, the cn-a'aoii of h;:ge administrative agencies
at. Washington to supen ise activities which can really
effect ivelv he done onlv bv the localities, is econom
ically wrong, becau.-e it results, as cery such effort
has in the past resulted, in building tip expensive
and huge administrative machinery, in the waste
th Mvfor uf funds xvhich are diverted to furnishing
jobs for people rather than to accomplish th" pur-
roe which is ahvavs aligned for those worthy measure.-.
Tii is sort of thiim is utterly contrary to ve,r scheme of govern
ment, and will really in the end xindennine it.
The fath.-rs . arefullv divided the powers of government between
two sovereignties the Mates, on the one hand, ii which wen1 reserved
all the power not. gien to the federal government, and the federal gov
eriimeiit. on the other hand, to xvhich were delegated carefully defined
power.-, thought to be -utTn ient, and which, in fact, have proven to be
s";it!i-'irnt to enable The federal government to do ethcieutly and effectively
l. -. thim.;s nhi. ' ought t be undertaken by the federal govern
ment, leaving all cl-e to the states.
ruder thi- plan of extending federal aid for purposes worthy in
and of th.;,is,de. to ncourag.' state action, and going with it the super-v..-ie.!
bv that high oflicial authority of -ui h action, the result inevit
ij will follow tii.it the .-tales and the local subdivisions of the states
will cwin" to lean mop- and more upon tho federal government at Wash
ington. Local initii;i! e and locai enterprise are bound to be undermined,
and we -hall create at Washington a huge bureaucracy which will under
take to supervise the activities which reach down into the very homes
of the people of the stale and of the nation. And I say that that is utterly
de-tnutive of our sclc-nic of government.
Education of Public to Reduce the Death Toll
bv Avoidable Accidents I
A new camera possibility lias been
recently developed in P.oston, where a
scientific camera enthusiast has en
gaged in the business of microscopic
photography. He makes photographs
of fine instruments, jewels, textiles
and similar things for the purpose of
jiennirung deliberate and .-a refill f-x-amination.
For instance, a micro
graphic photograph reveals eluo-act er
istics of the material entering into
textiles which cannot be seen in any
other manner. The amount of silk,
wool or cotton o'ltcrins into its com
position can be seen at a glance, as
well as the tightness or looseness of
the twist of the thread, winch is an
important m:;trer to ;i person buying
such material in quantities. New uses
for such photographs are being found
every day.

A .iail prisoner in New York Is j
found dcai! and his cellmate tells po- ;
lice that he bent him to death be- !
cause "he was making too much noise j
and I wanted to sleep." Some of the
rest of us have had a similar impulse
on such occasions as when a neigh
bor plays his phonograph "alter
hours." How much worse is the actual
deed than committing a crime or
transacting evil mentally?
"Gang punishes barber" declares a
headline,. It was bound to happen
sooner or later. Probably he wanted
to give them a massage, tonic, shoe
shine, manicure, hath, and mange cure,
when all they wanted was a haircut.

Best and Most Prosperous Days, Agriculturally,
Are Now Passing
By LUTHER BURBANK, American Agriculturist
Many of us now living in the United States will go hungry in the
next fifty years unless inventions to increase the productivity of the soil
are marketed. The maximum production of foodstuffs per acre has been
reached. The greatest number of people who can be supported on an
acre of land is about five. If all want food luxuries, only about two can
be supplied.
The United States is beginning to be over-populated in a measure,
1 believe. The best and most prosperous days, agriculturally, are pass
ing. Wdirn they are gone we will never see them again.
W'e must begin to live more economically. The average person very
shortly will be obliged to give up all food luxuries just as the Chinese
and other inhabitants of densely populated countries.
I do not believe that any of the so-called intensive cultivators of
land will bring in better yields. Agriculture today has about reached
the stage where it is impossible to get greater returns from the eoil.
Modern methods of agriculture secure for the average farmer today all
that the ground has to offer.
Never before has there
been produced, at so low
a price, a car so service
able, so trustworthy and
so economical of mainte
nance as the Ford Touring
Car. Millions of owners
say so. Buy your Ford
