The People Should Know. ORSON is directing a widespread campaign in the United States for the overthrow of the American government. This is the alarming state- ment of William J. Burns, head of the federal bureau of investigation to a congressional commit- tee. He declares documents obtained during the past year flearly indicat?’ the “communist {nterna- tionale is behind a strong “movement among ne- groes, labor unions, aud various social organiza- tions end women’s clubs,” its ultimate purpose be- ing to undermine these organizations with the view of overthrowing the United States government and establishing dictatorship of the proletariat. Reds have established “schools,” where radical- ism is taught without interference by the govern- ment. Such schools have been found in Seattle and near Boston and are springing up in other sec tions. . “We have no authority to stop it,” Burns de- - clared. Burns testified 858 new radical publications had ‘sprung up in the United States the last year and there are now 611 in circulation throughout the country. Mere suppression, arrests and deportations will not defeat this evil in the United States. We must beat the agitator at his own game. His radical pro- aganda must be counteracted just as steadily as = spreads it. Enlightenment ofthe masses and not force alone will hold this nation safe against the inroads of the Russian Reds. Our’ people must be shown the fallacy of these arguments and the condition of Russia today is the strongest objejct lesson that can be advanced to show why sound thinking Americans should steer clear of any program that has landed the people of a nation in the plight that Russians find them- selves in today. eg ec Plainest of Radicals. RECENT convention of so-called “Progres- sive National Party” at Cleveland, came out for government operation of railroads, public con- trol of waterpower, nationalization of coal mines, direct election of the president and vice president, rotection of civil libert. s and rights of organized labor and the enactme.: of a soldiers’ bonus law through funds secured by the re-enactment of ex- cess profits taxes. Numerous other planks were discussed. : The aim of the new party {s similar to that of all previous radical or semi-radical political move- ments in that it is attempting to combine the sup- port of labor organizations, farmers’ organizations, co-operative societies, liberal political parties and other organizations and groups who are in accord with radical and socialistic policies. Resolutions were passed requesting “Progres- sive” United States senators and representatives to organize a “People’s bloc” in the new congress. By sailing under the title of’ “Progressive” in. stead of “Radical.” the new party hopes to gain votes which it could not otherwise secure. Business Not Politics. rF THE experimental days of road building and| hard surface highway construction it has been a common practice to let contracts involving mil- lions of dollars to the “lowest bidder.” Immedi- ately the job was done it was accepted as a mat- ter of course and the contract price paid. No private business of any consequence would be conducted on such a basis. In the majojrity of | private contracts for the manufacture. of various, products the articles delivered to the purchaser carry a guarantee’ against imperfection and poor workmanship. . If we get a poor pair of shoes, a defective auto. mobile tirc, n rotten piece of cloth in a suit, a| typewriter that does not do its work properly or a dozen bad eggs, we can go back to the man who sold us the articles and get replacements or re. pairs that make our purchase worth the 100 cents | on the dollar that we paid Not so, however, when it comes to contracting for | public work. Why should an irresponsible con tractor who refuses to give any sort of a guarantee on his job, be allowed to experiment in road build- ing with the taxpayers’ money? Of course, a policy requiring such safeguards of | the taxpayers money immediately brings down on a highway commission an avalanche of abuse from irresponsible tndividuals who claim that they are thereby deprived of an opportunity of bidding on public work. If a2 ma ncannot show a satisfactory record and refuses to guarantee work which he does for the public, why should the taxpayer be These reasons ate all very good in themselves. | But there is another factor that must be kept in mind. It is the fact that to be successful a man must depend to some extent on others. No matter how much his individual actions may count, there are always others who contribute no mean share| in carrying out his plans. And so it is. No matter) whether the business concern is large or small; no} matter what its purpose is—there must be a com-/} pact and homogeneous organization to it which} makes its operation successful. Welfare activities | of large business concerns have played an import:} ant part, and so have every other means of caring for the employe individually. Entire co-operation | jamong those high and low must be there before any one can attain succes: A Rising Demand. | | | MODERN PROGRESS is becoming so rapid in! | JM every line of industry, there is bound to be an| jincreasing need for swift methods in transporta- tion he airplane represents that progress and be | Very grea while it will be permanently tablished as a mode of travel which has the co: dence of everyone. | The airplane industry is still ‘a young one, and as every youth develops slowly into fullygrown manhood, the industry is developing slowly. Ite development is also a certain one, for the last few | years have shown that it holds great promise. Every concern which is manufacturing airplanes or equipment maintains constant experimental work. It is-only through experimentation work that the industry can be developed satisfastorily. Of course, this is the unremunerative side, but it is of vital importance if the airplane is to continue to get nearer to full development. Some persons have the idea that experimentation work which is carried on by the government or by private concerns is unnecessary and wasteful to a certain extent. A little thought will show the folly of such a belief. The war supplied a great deal of practical experimentation with the airplane which resulted in its advancement as a means of transportation. With peace this experimentation must not cease if progress is to continue. Our Fail ure in Aestheticism. HE DEGREE to which the artistic sense of this nation has been developed may be judged from the expression which is given to the various ramifications of art. Painting of the masterly style is virtually unknown. There are a lot of “daubers” who rave about their “futuristic” mas- terpieces without a thought as to what they may be intended.to signify. Why? Because the popu-}| lar demand is for this kind of work and the “ar tists” know it will be the first to bring them the coveted lucre. Music, such as we may claim to be distinctly American, is also a reflection ‘of the spirit of the times in this country. We are not producing any- thing lasting; nothing which may even lay claim |to the artistic. Our stuff is all of the “pot-boiler” type, something that will satisfy the public palate of the moment and will die with it. It brings sus-! tenance and shelter to its creator, to be ‘sure, but there is nothing about it to label the composer as great when the petty, group which has lionized his work is gone. All this is to be lamented. It is known that ‘only. an old civilization appreciates and develops this| side of life. Our expression of it would indicate that we are still in the formative stage, as far as the cultural aspects of a nation are concerned. Jt would also show that our wealth, which is the first requisite of art, is being turned to producing | more wealth and not to assisting in a line of en-! deavor which is clearly one of its by-products. We | can not long hope to endure as an advanced leader | in thought or as a high type of civilization unless | we turn more of our attention and funds to this very important work—the development of the es-} thetic sense of our people. ‘Agriculture and Freight Rates. PSENEVER some radical politician wishes to draw national attention and try and curry public favor, he directs his stream of oral sbuse at, the railroads or any other industrial group that best suits his purpose. At the present time the farmers are told that | freight rates are the cause of depression prices for | crops. and that the railroads are to blame for the} general agricultural depression, As a matter of fact, James R. Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, shows that the farmers’ bill for freight and passenger railway transportation is $1,103,000,000 annually out of annual total farm expenditures of $9,784, 000,000 for the purchase of materials, interest and taxes. If Mr. Howard's estimate is correct. the farmer's expenditure for railroad transportation is only 1L per cent of his total outgo and his expenditure for freight alone is not more than $800,000,00%, or onty & per cent of his outgo is for freight transpor tation. This is not an argument against reducing trans portation costs to the farmers or any other indus- try as soon as the railroads can do so, but is an argument to show that there must be many things besides freight expenditures which have caused | depression in the market for farm products. Instead of trying to further wreck the American transportation system through political regulation why do not our lawmakers give n few of these plain everr-day facts to the public for consumption? The radicals through distortion and mis-state- ments in regard to the American railway system are trying to force government ownership and oper- ation. If they should be successful in such a pro- gram, the farmers can easily anticinate the in- creased costs that would immediately result in freight rates and tax bills if they care to check up the record of expense that this nation paid as a result of “political” operation during the days of the railroad administration and public control. | { Jno man can possibly Talking to Babies. It seems as if the hardest thing @ man can have to do is to admire somebody else's baby, especially when that baby is colicky and mad and as homely as a young baboon. A womn can do it as easily as you Please. On a moment's notice she can,lean over a baby carriage and look Gown into a face that's a cartoon of a bystanding parent, and talk for hours on the beauty of what she Is looking at, spinning les as fast as she can think. But when {t comes the turn of a man to do a thing like that he Jsn’t “there”; he can no more tell a great, bie caricature of a baby that he is a iovely lttle snookums than he can Pick that baby up in his arms with- out spraining the baby’s neck, which do. It can even be said that should a baby actually be a lovely little snook- um# @ man could not even tell It so then. For there is something in the nature of a man which makes him dumb in the presence of infants; by | giving him a baby to talk to, you can even shut up a Congressman. The other day a Congrestman from Illinois encountered in Wash- ington the wife of another Congress: man. She was airing her four-month baby, this lady, and there was noth- ing for the Congressman to do but pay his respects to the youngster. So he leaned over the carriage-and said, “@h,° there!” and then, what never before had thappeneé in his life, he found himself emptier of {deas than a statue standing in a park. He peered at tho baby and the baby peered at him, but neither of Raisins in Tins With the Freshness of Fresh Fruit H Maid Raisins that to try—dainty, tender fruit-meats packed in tins.

And the next morning her husband went over to Congressman So-and- fSo's apartments, and hit him on the nose with his fist, and a lot of strange and interesting things began to happen. _ _ oo Labor’s Profits Up | “While the total share of the value product of the industry received by operators and investors was increas- ing from $34,305,000 in 1909 to $85,- 230,000 in 1973, the total share of the | value product paid to employees in Mail coupo you will want tested Sun-Mai » juicy, seeded than the follow’ you buy them, 20c; 8 oz. tin ( Sun-Maid Raisins in should cost you no more than the fol- na cake or pie lowing prices: 7 pkg.), 20c; Se time you buy they are. oz.), 15e, Sun-| Dept “Recipe N Fresno, Califoreia Crrr. \ Sun-Maid Seeded Rai labeled tins should cost you no more pkg.), 18c; Seeded or Seedless (12 N.932-19, Please send me co} the form of wages and salaries was Jumping from $173,200,000 to $421,- 200,000," declares the National Bu- reau of-Economic Research, a disin- terested scientific collector of econ- omic statistics. This is good evidence that labor profits by an American merchant marine, whatever our for- eign born labor leaders may say about it. According to the bureau the number of men actually at work on the vessels of the American merchant marine increased from 149,200 in 1909 to 222,200 in 1919, while the estimated average annual earnings of all em- ployes on vessels of the merchant ma- rine rose from $901 in 1909 to $2,152 in 1919, or 250 per cent. That is the answer to the statement of the dry- landers that we do not pay our sea- men any more than the British pay theirs. The 1919 average for all our marine employees is almost equal to that of the chief officers of foreign lines, eS Ancestor of Flatiron. “Yes.” never would think {t, but the electric and fas trons you see us using today are the legitimate offspring of a round, water worn stone.
