Poindexter's Relatives
THE recent attack on Senator Poindexter by the reaction
ary organs is Ux> piffling to waste time upon The
Star, through Correspondent Oil son (tanlner, has t>>M
the facts The Star has told how Senator Poimiextcr knew
nothing about and never heard of seven of the eleven 1 oin
dexters whom the reactionaries label as his relatives on lit
government pavroll. The entire attack on 1 o.ndexter »lmh
no doubt, in sp.te of the plam facts, wdl be repeated again
and again by the reactionary organs, is of the same silly
C The' motive for the attack at this time is obvious.
Senator Poindexter is engaged in pretty bin work now
in the development of Alaska in the way which, i
successful, will be the worst blow the Guggenheim* and
their papers have yet suffered.
Tnat "relative* story has been concocted by tiie re
actionaries out of whole cloth for the purpose of sidetracking
interest in Poindexter's Alaska lull.
But The Star and the People refuse to be sidetiatked.
WE'RE WITH those Russian monks who are striking

The Month of the Bellyache
THIS being pre-eminently the month of the bellyache, it
behooves us all to beware.
Beware drinking iced water when overheated.
Beware eating: unripe fruit
Beware the poor dog who hasn t been allowed a fair
chance to slake his thirst. A thrist-cra*ed dog generally
mistaken for a mad dog: and we guess you d be mad, too. it
vour innards were sibling with dog-day heat and you couldn t
find a water tap. . . . ...
Beware omitting the bed covering at night; for while
Old Sol is prettv energetic at mid-day you have no license
«n suppose that the wee hours of the morning may not any
dav show up with a drop tiK> much.
5 Beware of an excess of alcohol; and. if in doubt as to
what constitutes excels, better lean toward the side of satety
and cut it out. ....... t
Beware of excesses of all kindi; beware of an exce** ot
grumbling about the weather, beware of the thermometer,
beware of the fellow who disturbs your serenity by asking
you how you manage to stand it.
Be moderate, temperate. g<*xl humored, philosophical ; m
short, be happy, in which event you won't have any need to
know that this is the month of the bellyache
ELLA FLAGG YOUNG savs the race would benefit if
everv woman would teach school a while before becoming a
mother. But we think we hear the mothers voting just the
other way.
A Splendid Lesson
SUPPOSE that profit-sharing scheme proposed in the
Poindexter bill for developing Alaska were in general
practice among individual employers. What grand results
would ensue'
Thus, John Smith would put $100,000 into a fac
tory, say, and inform his men that one-half the profit
above 10 per cent should go to them, in addition to
wages, and one-ha If to those who bought the fac
tory's products. A child could a most tell the results.
The workers would work to the limit of their
efficiency. ....
The consumers would buy that factorys prod
ucts in preference to othsrs.
There would be no lock-outs, or strikes, no ex
tortion or oppression.
You would think that every employer would jump at
such a condition, and every employer would, but for one thing
—the limiting of the percentage of his profit The difficulty
lies in getting capital to consent to a reasonable profit for
itself
But, let us get away from the profit considerations.
There's really something a preat deal higher and better in
the proposition than mere financial equity. There are ele
ments of morality and Christianity in it Push greed hack
an inch and you progress one inch toward common brother
hood. ....
The most splendid feature about this Alaskan measure is
not that coal barons shall not maltreat miner* and consumers,
but that it is a government example of humanity and mutual
uplift, a national demonstration of good resulting from the
elimination of the fruits of greediness.
May Uncle Sam give this great object lesaon in
the relations between employer and employe!
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE editorialize*
that, from a moral standpoint, it would he better for women
to go nude than dress in the present suggestive fashion. That
Advocate editor must have seen something awful.

If you should happen to be am

stlily. morning hour* —
Thinking of nature at rest and
the dawn of a brighter day for all
mankind —
And all at once hear a terrific
noise, like an automobile being
chased by a troop of Arsb* —
And suddenly behold a motor ear
rounding the curb, with tho ch*uf
four looking shead and behind and
scared, sll St the same time- —
While to the roar of the whl*

feet touched the ground st the

while *he puffed and panted like s

The following Incident may be
come a common spectacle In thla
man's town daring the early
morning houra. For the late«t.
niftiest and mo*t scientific recipe
for getting thin snd sylph-like Is
to grab hold of the stern of a swift
automobile and trot behind!
Not long ago a stout society
woman of Pittsburg began to get
slender all of s sudden Her
friends, who were mostly In the

that she Could dwindle In s.ich

"I sneak out In tho morning \nd

It'S more fun to grab s *tr*ngo one.
I don't ride. 1 simply grasp the

It's simply groat for reducing."
Iter fair friends refused to be
lieve her st first. They *ald It
nounded too thin.
Hut when she Invited them to
Join her In an early a. m "hitching
party" they all accepted greedily
and rsported at her home wearing
running bloomers nnd Hulgarlsn
Mouse* beneath thoir auto cloaks.
Then the fun started.
Most of the women were able
to run a little hit after the car
to which they had attached thorn
