"This work and the other important
work which the national organization
has undertaken can not succeed un unless
less unless our membership increases and
dues are promptly paid. This is vital
to the success of the entire program.

a million and a half. As was pointed
out at the recent gathering of adju adjutants

ed the following editorial
The editor of a contemporary, in
discussing the proposal to take fire
arms away from the people in order
to disarm bandits and robbers, ex expresses
presses expresses a fear that such action might
interfere with the constitutional right
of the people to 'keep and bear arms.
The right to which reference is made
is a quotation from the second amend amendment
ment amendment to the constitution of the United
States, which reads: 4 A well regulated
militia being necessary to the security
of a free state, the right of the people
to keep and bear, arms shall not be
infringed. It appears extremely
doubtful if this amendment to the
constitution was intended to preserve
the right of any individual to maintain
an arsenal in his home or to carry it
abroad. It surely did not mean that
any person should be encouraged to
keep weapons that would aid him in
the commission of crime. The fact
that the term, 'a well regulated mil
itia,' is used in the amendment would
indicate that the right to 'keep and
bear arms' is not an individual right,
but one of collective character, given
through a regular organization for
the protection of the state, as is plain
ly indicated by the wording of the
amendment. Bandits will get pistols
and other weapons for their thievish
and murderous uses, so the only plan
that seems to be feasible is to round
up the crooks and disarm them. There
is nothing to fear from law-abiding
citizens, even if they should provide

As the criticism was evidently aim aimed

days ago remarks similar to those
commented on, we made a criticism in
return; and much was our astonish astonishment

of Wednesday, Feb. 2 (reading the

of the liquid had caused us to see dou double,

to hold copy, we reading the Tribune

soon convinced that the two articles
were as exactly alike as tho one was
a carbon copy of the other.
Now, we are flattered to have two
such powerful minds as those on the
Tribune and the News take enough no notice

upon them; but will they kindly con condescend

We have no idea that either jour journalist

The Star has no special fault to find
with police regulations in regard to
firearms. In this state the laws in
that egard, and as carried out by the
officials, are very fair and necessary.
But they are nothink like disarming
the people, which the mollycoddles
and bureaucrats and perhaps some
other pernicious influence advocate.
The constitution strictly and plainly
forbids any such disarmament; let the
people be careful that this great right
is not taken from them.
Let the people pay. Congress pass passed

bill the other day setting aside $365, $365,-000

MORRIS GEST BRINGS
SUIT AGAINST FORD
Chicago, Feb. 3. The praecipe in
a $5,000,000 damage suit against Hen
ry Ford and his paper, the Dearborn
Independent, was filed in circuit court
yesterday by Morris Gest. theatrical
producer, who alleged that an article
in the Independent on Jan. 22, 1921,
contained "libelous, slanderous and
false statements" concerning Mr. Gest
and certain stage productions he has-
handled. The article mentioned in the
suit was said to have attacked "Aph "Aphrodite'
rodite' "Aphrodite' 'and "Mecca" in particular.
terming them the "most salacious
spectacles ever shown in America.
Gest's attorneys here announced it
hadbeen planned to file similar suits
in Detroit today. The article which
was alleged to have been libelous was
quoted in the paecipe. It asserted
that the American stage was "under
the influence of a group of former
bootblacks, prize-ring habitues and
Bowery characters.' After saying
that "Mr. Gest stalks before his fel fellow
low fellow Jews as the most successful pro
ducer of the year," the article declar
ed that Mr. Gest was not a great pro
ducer, but a "great panderer to a
public whose taste he has been no
mean factor in debasing. Gest, it said,
sold newspapers in Boston and in
1906 was a member "of a notorious
gang of ticket speculators who were
the bane of the public. There is noth nothing
ing nothing in Gest's character to indicate
that he would ever contribute anv-
thing to the theater's best interests."

CINCINNATI CONCERN BUN
ON GOLDEN RULE BASIS
Cincinnati, Feb. 2 Since employees
of the A. Nash Co., a manufacturing
concern of this city, voted to take a
oluntary vacation if necessary to
give work to unemployed there have
been further developments in this
business which is being run on the
Ct'lden Rule basis. Mr. Nash outlined
tcday these recent steps:
"Business men of Chattanooga,
Tt nn., have become so interested in re results
sults results obtained by application of the
Golden Rule to this business that they
have subscribed stock to open a Ten-
ressee company.
'Employees of the Cincinnati fac
tcry have bought into ownership to
the extent of $50,000 since opportunity
vas given them in January.
'Employees are so much interested
in the Golden Rule that they conduct conducted
ed conducted a service in the Cincinnati People's
church in January.
'Arrangements have been made to
conduct classes in business manage
ment and economics for employees.
"Business has expanded so much
since employees presented their peti
tion proposing they take a vacation
that a new shop has been opened.
"This growth has employed a large
number of men out of work and with
the reopening of activity for the
spring, the need of Nash employees
stepping out to make room temporari temporarily
ly temporarily for others has passed.
Mr. Nash said he had salesmen in
many other cities and that the goods
of the firm were sent to nearly every
state in the Union.
"I am not interested in this busi business
ness business simply from the standpoint of
production, but from seeing what re results
sults results can be obtained when everybody
works from the basis- of doing to
others as he would have done by," Mr.
Nash said. "I am not interested in
making money. I have already more
than I ever dreamed of having. In
fact, I am worried about the money,
for I have seen too many crimes com committed
mitted committed under the shadow of great
wealth. j
"That the Colder Rule pays in the
operation of a business I think has
been demonstrated in ours.
"No other manufacturer can pro produce
duce produce the results that our workers do,
when they know they are working for
themselves and the good of others
around them.
"Increased output of course would
not count and we would have broken
up. if we had not had the business.
But the Golden Rule works right there
too. It has gotten us the business.
Through the period of depression as
well as through the period of high
prices we have kept right on growing.
"Incidentally we have written into
the charter of the Chattanooga fac factory
tory factory that it shall be co-owned by the
workers. The men who subscribed
stock I insisted should give themselves
in a measure to the work.
"We have treated our customers as
we would be treated. So the chain of
the operation of the Golden Rule has
completed itself."
Mr. Nash was ordained a minister,
but after a short experience in this
field gave it up abruptly, and took to
labor at whatever he could find to do.
For a time he carried a hod.
FLETCHER .WANTS BETTER
INFORMATION FOR FARMERS
Washington, Feb. 1. To extend the
service from the pony system to one. of
large proportions, Senator Fletcher of
Florida, has Offered an amendment to

market reports of fruits and vegeta vegeta-bies
bies vegeta-bies from $390,000 to $1,100,000. This
amendment, if agreed to by the com com-mittee
mittee com-mittee on agriculture and adopted in
conference, will mean that shippers of
fruits of all kinds in Florida, Georgia
and lower South Carolina, will have,
effective July 1, 1921, a large and com comprehensive
prehensive comprehensive system of market reporting
respecting fruits and vegetables while
recently, because of reduced appro appropriations,
priations, appropriations, only the pony or small plan
has been in operation. While Florida
with her large fruit and vegetable
shipments would probably be more af affected

In the south, it would also touch wa
termelons and peaches from Georgia
ar.d vegetables from the fertile section
in lower Carolina. This amendment
will be of incalculable value if agreed
upon and voted in the bin.
