The Sentinel would suggest that some e

G;erman~y is in for' it now, sure! The
little rep~ublic of San Marino, with a I
population of about 9,000 and an army (I
of less thani 1,000, has declared war
against Germany. Austri-Hungary and
Turkey.a
A news item says Secretary Lansing
has "returned to the duties of his office
after an absence of two weeks" Now,
if' Mr. Bryan had been on the job what
a howl would have been set up by a lott
newvspap~ers we could mention!
WVe had a poem in our system for this
week, but we also had the doctor shoot
us with someC typhoid anti-toxin, and
the blame stuff has eradicated the poem
as wvell as the tever. Which gives us
*an idea that some fellow could render a
*;reat service to mankind by discover
ing a poetry anti-toxin.
The problem of what to do with Mex
ican ex-presidents has been partially
solved, at least. Uncle Sam has put
one of them in jail, and that seems to
be a very desirable way to get rid of
ulndesirables. If he would only reach
out now and grab the rest of them per
haps the fuss down there would come
to an end.
"Virginia justice" still has teeth in it.
A rich young man has been sent to jail
in Richmond for involuntary manslaugh
ter. Hie and a young woman were joy
riding at a great spee~d wh'en the ma
chine collided with another, causing the
death of the young woman. "Justice
John" Crutchfield of the Richmond city
court is no respecter of persons, rich
or poor.

Yet, ineredible as it may seem, we have be.
fore us the sorry spectacle of the recent ection
of the iloston Central Labor union in adopting
a resolution which calls oi organie(Litabor to
oppose the passage of the ilobson-Sheppard bill
for natlon-wide prohibition of the liquor traffic.
This central labor union, which represents the
Dentralized authority and speaks for the feder.
sted labor organizations of iostson, bases its
tetion squarely on the ground that the abolition
if the d istilleries, breweries and saloons would
hrow a large number of laborers out of em.
)loynent, and that nsiious argument is the
sait by which the whiskey trust, the brewery I
onilne and the grogshop interests have caught
Iis labor organization and Rre trying to enlist
ll- suptiort of others throughout the country.
It is the most cruelly selfish appeal that was
!ver ntide. besides being absolutely faliacious
is will appear (m close scrutiny. I fear no con'
radiction inl isserting that no man has a moral
-ight to make the destruction of other men his
neans of aubsistence. Must we, then, as a
wople. forever submit to all the poverty, mis
ry, disease, crime and loss of lifle that intoxi
atitng liquor (ausies in order to enrich a few

As a purely economic proposition. iguoring

lie nation to support these men in idleness at
heir lceesent profits or wages than to have
hen employed in the manufacture and sale of
his deatructive product for which the people
of this country pay one billion and seven hun
lred and twenty-four million dollars a year, to
othing of the inealculable millions of loss and
lamage they smuaer by drinking it.
llut the abolition of the liquor business in
'olves no oroblen of idle capital or unemploy

vhich the people pay for the product is enor
