CONGRESSMAN BERGER SOUNDS
sOCIALISTIC KEYNOTE TO

WASHINGTON, July IS. II Con-
gressman Berger, the Illinois social
list member, sounded a socialistic
keynote in the house today Cap
italists are willing to deal with the
democrats as well as with the re-
publieans, declared Berger.
THE democrats are reactionary
and the republicans are conserva-
tive. A glance at the honest pro-
gressiyes setting out to purify poll
tics, demonstrates that Robin Hoods
famous assemblage had nothing on
the gang that is rallying around
Roosevelt and Wilson to perpetu-
ate bosses power and inaugurate
another era of prosperity foe
men are like Belmont and Ryan.
ut is not necessary to explain
where Taft stands, but It is natural
for a man Of his type to be allied
with Root, Crane, Guggenheim and
Hammond We must have new
constitution or a bloody revolution.

STRIKE IN THE
CRESCENT IS LIKE
The Big FOUR
CLOSE RESEMBLANCE NOTICED
IN MANHATTAN GOLD
BEARING ROCK

Special TO the BOnanIa
MANHATTAN, July IS. The
Crescent strike, which has been de-
scribed as resembling the Big Four
in point of appearance Of the gold
bearing rock, is proving now to be
like it in more ways than one. Its
present striking point of resemb-
lance is in the enormity of its ore
body, fact which previously was
not patent to the discoverers or
other observers.
A shaft down 16 feet has been
widened to, if possible, determine
the width of the ledge. At 10 feet
wide it was still all ledge matter
and no walls. From the north OF
foot wall side of the shaft to the
lime contact to the south, the dis
tanee is % feet, so that it is prac-
tically assured that the ledge will
be that wide for starter, if not
great deal wider. Therein it is
another Big Four.
As for length it has been exposed
for so feet. That is to say, the
high grade has been opened that
far in the easteriy and westerly
course of the ledge and about the
same distance at each from the
lime contact to the south.
The high grade, as previously ex-
planned, occurs in spar and inter
laoes the schist without any occur
renee of quartz. The gold does
not run through the schist without
the spar, hence there is consider
able waste that is easily screened
and sorted. For that reason al
present it is not all ore. but a,

 All that, however. is mere idle persi- flage and this is not going to be that sort of a story. Regardless of just how rich Croesus may have been, according to present day standards. he was both rich and powerful in GOO B. C. He ruled a land called Lydia. in Asia Minor, and at his court he gathered at one time or other most of the wise men of Greece, for Croesus was a patron of the arts.
 One of the men who came to Croesuss court was Soon, the Athenan sage. (Not a member of the legislature as his name might imply) Croseus showed Solon all tho glories of his capital and his palace rich in gold and silver, and then he asked him whether he, Croesus. was not the happiest man in the world And Solon. pondering, shook his head and replied;
 'One cannot say that any man has lived happily until his life is ended, for none know what lies aheadr
 The King. though not much pleased. paid little heed to the reply and Solon eventually returned to Greece. It was years after this little incident that the rich King decided to make war upon the Persians. then an active and warlike idNts ihltu bN NiliS Udiftu " 9lttS Croesus felt sure that with all his re- sources he would have little trouble in disposing of the Persian King, but never theless he sent a messenger to the oracle of Delphi to learn if the omens were fav- orable. The oracle (whose duplicity has already been exposed in these columnsp sent back word that if he marched against the Persians he would overthrow a great empire, and it also advised him to make an alliance with some Greek nation
 Croesus, overjoyed at this response. hastened his preparations and sent am bassadors to make an alliance with Spar ta. The agreement was made, the Spar tans expressing great willingness. but all that they ever sent to Croesus was a gift that failed to arrive, there being no parcels post in those days. Not soldier ever crossed to aid Croesus. and the Spar tan leader paid no more attention to their promises than if they had been members of the county court. So. to make a long story short. Croesus was defeated, his army scattered. his country overrun and he himself captured.
 Cyrus. the Persian monarch. ordered him burned at the stake and Croesus was accordingly taken out and the faggots piled about him. And then it was that standing within sight of the palace in which he had once been so happy. he re- memhered the ng-forgotten talk with Solon. and he cried aloud:
 "Soon. Solon Solon,''
 King Cyrus heard and asked what it meant. learned from one who stood by him the whole story. He was much affect ed by it. and. perhaps. there came into his mind the thought that he, too, might some day stand in need of mercy. At any rate he gave orders that the fires be uuenched and Croesus's life saved. But ;he fagGots were alreacv well ablaze and could not be put out until the doomed King prayed aloud to Apollo. when there fell at once from the heavens a mighty rain and saved King Croesuss life.

Bedford attracted much criticism and was frequently charged with inconsistent cy. This criticism is said to have in- fuenced his resignation.
 The same charge is made concerning his recently issued edct covering picture productions. In particular his prohibition of mixed bathing is ridiculed. One pro- testant point out that it is splendid ex- ample of inconsistency in a country which permits its bathers to appear on the beach in costumes which would cause the immediate arrest of their wearers in any part of the United States Mir Red fords defense probably would be that he has no control over the bathers them selves.
 American and colonial film producers. particularly the Americans whose meth ods are far superior to the English, view the new censorship with some apprehen- sion, for MT. Bedford received his appoint ment from the representative society of English film producers. And while this is a private organization, he will have practically the authority of a public of- fical for he will work in cooperation with the London council which has the power to cancel the license of any picture theatre on complaint which in the opin- ion of the council Is sufficiently grave The only arbitrary power left to the En- glish throne is that exercised through the lord chamberlain of prohibiting any dra- matic performance which does not meet with it's approval.
 The declaration of the new censor in regard to the sort of films that will fall under the ban, indicates that If his plans are supported by the proper authorities. American, Continental and colonial film makers will suffer severely. The first on
