Kdtvard Du'iglas White ! .is died i

very recently he had taken a
part in the decisions of some of the
most important cases the court hus
had in years. In his death t:;;« «-»>u:i
try loses one of the great r.en whc.
have headed that tribunal. !'o was
the only Chief Justice who hid serv

lie was promoted. For twenty-seven
years he had directed him immense
energies, his highly sensitive < ui.
science, his vibrant love of countr;..
his great abilities, his tremendcus
power of trained logical reasoning
to solving the important constitution

The country will feel deeply the
loss it suCfers in his death. Whe'i
one says "the country" in respect to
public opinion on such a subject he
means generally the American bar.
because it is through individuals of
that great body : .rough their obser

te;.m work by the court, so as to give
weight and solidarity to its opinions.
One of the striking qualities of Chief
Justice White hud developed iu him
the same quality. He was winning
in his way. strong in his responsi
bility for the court, earnest i?i his de
sire to avoid divisions and highly
skilled in reconciling difficulties in
the minds of his brethren.
A native of Louisiana, a son of its

soldier when not much more than a
boy. taken prisoner of war at Port

,Chie( Justice White were Federal
istic and Whig; and while he went
with his section in the struggle of
"65. he was ever a Nationalist In the
construction of the Federal Consti
tution. Xo Judge ever sat upon that
bench who was more deeply patriotic
more strongly American, more anx
ious for the welfare of his country.
His opinions and his conversations
were (ill of a conscientious sense of
responsibility to the people for the
! maintenance, in its pristine strength,
of the Constitution of the United
States, and in the preservation of
the public interest and private right,
with the same nice balance of his
predecessor. John Marshal. In the

Judges attain highest distinction by
their statesmanlike foresight as to
the future operation and effect of the
principles established by the Judg

class were Marshall and Bradley:

and served there three years. In 1S94
he was appointed from the Senate,
Iiy President Cleveland to be an As

of the I'nited States: and in Decem

the politics of Louisiana he led the

of the Louisiana Lottery and won it.
As Chief Justice. he was profound

of t :;it high place: lint he was so

And now after a span of years

'.earn tiiut many American working
men are striking for a higher pay
scale, despite the fact that their
weekly base wage of $5S amounts
to 1.110.000 rubles at present ex
change rate, that they made about
$100 a week, or 2.000.000 rubles, us
a rule. Yes. the Russian printer
who is getting 5000 rubles a month
will be interested in that. He may
be getting'as much as 10,000 ru
bles a month now. and he is a high
grade workman. Haywood's friends
should compare that with the 4,640,
OuO tj S,000,000 rubles per month
that the "capitalist slave" got In Am

When a Soviet worker strikes he |
ceases to eat. Also, he is very likely
to be punctured with machine-gun
fire. The American worker who
goes on strike is usually forehanded
enough to have a strike fund or a
private bank roll. Nevertheless, Big
Hill rather likes the Russian life. He
certainly does not care for Leaven
worth. J
Butter is forty cents a pound here;
other foods range along in propor
tion. Soviet rubles are now regard-1
ed so^poorly that ii takes 20,000 .of
them to buy an American dollar.
A I'etrograd workman could take his [
month's wages of maybe 10,000 ru
bles, buy a pound of butter and may
be have enough left over to get an
egg, maybe. An American quarter
of a dollar is equal to 5,000 rubles.
A.$12-a-week ollice boy if paid in ru
bles would be getting 240.000 a ]
week.
In Russia no man asks your sal
ary: he is interested iu your food
ration. We are rationing nobody In
this "capitalistic land." Our cities
are not falling to pieces. We are
not starving any human being or or
ganizing conspiracies to starve any

Society of Quartermaster Officers in

firms that stood behind the men be

is this fact which has pleased Mr.
Edison so highly. In compliment to

Legislated Against
Low Necks but
Short Skirts?
I Zion. 111., June 20.—The city
fathers of the City of Zion evidently
[overlooked the fact that dresses
would have a tendency to shorten
at hotli ends. They covered '.lis tops
with an ordinance, but neglected the
bottoms.
\\\ lltird Clendinen, Mayor of
Zion, had his attention called to
this palpable neglect on the part
of the civic powers. He was thunder
struck when he saw how weak the
ordinance was and how helpless the
law was to act in cases where wo
men had paraded in short skirts.
The present ord.nance imposes a
fine of not more than 200 dol
lars, of from five to six months in
the city bastile for appearing In
public in "peekaboo" or mosquito
net stockings, in sleeves that do not
come down to the middle of the fore
arm. or in blouses that "expose, or
partially expose, the neck >aud the
shoulders a greater distance than a
third part from the neck to the tip
of the shoulders." The wearing cf
such attire is deemed "immodest,
vulgar, indecent aud suggestive of
low and vicious morals, tending to
debauch innocence and purity, aad
degrade the best interests of so
ciety." But the length of the skirts
are not mentioned.

It is a strange household that

Homer Sidney. Under what in
explicable tyranny from the
past do these people live?
What is in the manuscript

Moral Breakdown
"If the present jazz music contin

high scoot boy or girl in the United
States," said Mrs. Marx Oberndorfer.
chairman of the music and art divis
ion of the Federated Women's clubs
in her address before the women of
Pocatello yesterday afternoon at the
Congregational church. The unnat
ural half tones in combination with
syncopation, such as are fourd in
modern jazz music atrophies the
nerve centers that affect the moral
senses, stated Mrs. Oberndorfer who
emphasized the fact that the United
States was facing a serious jit nation
due to the wave of jazz music which
was sweeping the nation.
In the opinion of medical societies
dancing school masters and moving
picture men something must be done
immediately to counteract the bane
ful influence of tho present era 01'
poor and degrading music, Mrs. Ob
erndorfer continued. She iilustratei
her lecture with references to the
"Necker and Prune" type of girl
which is spoken of in certain eastern
college circles. Mrs. Oberndorfer
urged that greater attention he plac
ed on good music in the home and
stated that a child could not -he forc
ed to practice good music when
mother and father turned on the
phonograph and started a dance to
some lively jazz tunes.
The lecture given in Pocatello by
Airs. Oberndorfer was unique and
brought to the attention of her audi
ence a condition which is not gen
erally realized to be so serious. Sue
brought out clearly evil effects and
degrading tendency of a large port of
the so-called popular music today and
warned her audience 'hat a situation
faces this country which is really
critical. Mrs. Oberndorfer was very
outspoken in her references to the
present musical situation and she
brought to light a condition which
the Intelligent people in America
must realize is serious altho it has
received little or no attention.
Mrs. Oberndorfer left today for
Twin Falls. She is making a tour of
the country in the interests of awak
ening the women of America to the
present degrading element in music
and secure their aid and co-opera
tion in cultivating a higher and bet
ter appreciation of the best kind of
music.—Pocatello Tribune. .

THEFT THROUGH FLATTERY.
The meanest kind of thief is the man
who steals another's good Judgment by
flattering him. Some people are so sus
ceptible to praise that, like stroked kit
tens, they just lie down and roll over
whenever they are offered a compli
ment. The difference between th«
flatterer and a friend is that the for
mer wants to buy something with
pleasant words, and the latter wants
to share his mind with you. There has
been altogether too much dependence
on "smooth talk" In business. If mon
ey had depreciated In value as much
as words have, there would be very
little business dune. A man's word of
praise ought (o he as sound and as
good as his word of promise, and that
ought to be as good as his bond, says
Dearborn independent The only thing
that Justifies a compliment these days
is that it he detached from any form
of self-s«eking.

Statistics shoiy that about one-third of
all deaths In this country have been
due to diseases of the throat and
lungs. Fresh, clean, pure, humid air
as found out of doors is the treatment
generally prescribed for such ailments;
and until people understand the need
for the proper kind of air In the home,
especially during the seasons when the
doors and windows are kept closed, the
recurrence of sucli discomforts are to
be expected, says Farmers' Bulletin
1194, recently published by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
