It is planned by William J. FLYNN,
chief of the bureau of investigation
of the department Of justice, to
thwart the reported plot of anarchists
to terrorize the country with bombs on
July 4 by placing under arrest 1000
redfaggers listed by himself and his
assistants in various parts of the coun-
try. Five hundred of these terrorists,
men and women, have been listed in
the city of Washington, which goes to
show that the national capitol is a
hotbed Of anarchy. Chief Flynn says
that the source of recent bomb out
RACES is known and the element fos-
tering the red outbreaks traced. In
the course of time, he declares, he will
clean up the whole group, and he can
be depended upon to do it. Flynn is
one of the shrewdest detectives in the
world and the department of justice
made no mistake when it selected him
to ferret out the anarchists with
which this country is infested.

All Depends on the Boy.


In a recent study of business success
in the United States list of questions
was sent to large number of business
men, and from the results it now ap-
pears that, of the fifty men selected
as the foremost, twenty-four were
born poor, seventeen were born in
moderate circumstances, and nine were
born rich. The figures will prove a
little disappointing to those who like
to believe that the poor but ambitious
boy is necessarily father to the rich
and respected business man, but the
fact that nearly half were poor boys
is reasonable example Of success
against all possible handicaps. Per-
haps, too, it is just as we'll that a
democracy should realize that the
boy whose parents are in moderate
circumstances is about as likely to
succeed as the boy who sells newspa-
pers, and that even the boy whose
parents are rich is not out of the run
ming. After all, it depends on the
boy. Christian Science Monitor.

Milo B. Campbell Of Michigan, a
member of the national agricultural
advisory board, charges that the far
mers and the government were de-
frauded out of millions Of dollars by
big wool dealers acting as government
agents during the war. He says they
bought the wool in the grease" from
the farmers for IS and 81 cents a
pound and sold it as secured wool,
to the government for $3.50 to $1.85
a pound, and that not a single pound
of wool sold in that way was secured
at all. Under this scheme, he said,
wool buyers and dealers made huge
profits. Washington Correspondent
Minneapolis Journal.
So far as defrauding the govern
ment is concerned who is to blame :?
Certainly the government itself by
employing incompetent or dishonest
inspectors. Whether these fellows
were unable to distinguish the differ
ence between wool in the grease" and
secured WOOL or whether they were
in conspiracy with the dealers is i'm
material. The responsibility for the
fraud lies with the government.

Parents of boys who are in Russia
would like to know when Secretary
Baker is going to order these soldiers
back to the United States. Baker, in
Washington press dispatches, is said
to have promised to release them not
later than this month, but there is no
indication that he has made any effort
to so do. American people are sick
of this Russian campaign, in which
their sons are being killed for no other
purpose than to protect men who have
big financial interests there, and it is
a damnable shame that these boys are
kept in country with which we are
not at war and never were. The
sooner Baker orders these men home
the better, and we would not advise
him, as he contemplates, to replace
them with other troops.

Colonel Harvey: The president, we
are told, will not intervene in the tele-
graph and telephone strike. Why
should he? His politicalmaster gen
eral has saddled all responsibility for
it upon the companies. And indeed
why should the companies worry? If
the strike costs them lot Of money
the United States treasury is bound to
make it good. So the only people who
really have occasion to feel concerned
are the ordinary citizens, who use the
wires and pay taxes. They may have
the service bedeviled into worthless
ness, to their Unreasonable inconven-
fence and loss, and they may have to
put their hands into their pockets to
pay for having such bedevilment. But
what of that? They have no friends.

Experimenting With Concrete.

Now the concrete ship is followed
by the concrete freight car. The con-
crete car is, Of course, still an ex-
pertinent, for the final test can come
only in servece, and to become an
everyday part of railwoy equipment
it must prove, in comparison with a
steel car, that it costs less to build,
less to maintain, and lasts longer in
use. The material is new, light
weight concrete, reinforced with iron
rods and driven into the molds by
compressed air, thus making a reason
ably thin coat Of concrete which it is
believed will prove as durable as the
steel car. The concrete ship was
more spectacular, but, if.the magma
ton multiplies the concrete freight
car into concrete freight train, the
pisture becomes equally impressive
And who knows but the future may
justify imagination in adding con-
crete locomotive - Christian Science

Ireland. The Unionists demand that
the form of the country's government
be not changed they are satisfied
with the rule of King George while
the republicans ask complete seces-

Ireland home rule such as Australia
and Canada enjoys, but the main diff

Here's a chapter of Minnesota
political history boiled down, which is
interesting at this time: James A.
Tawney was defeated for reelection
to congress in 1911 by a single speech
in Mr.. Tawney's district by the late
Theodore Roosevelt. Mr.. Tawney re-
fused to desert Joe Cannon and other
friends of the old guard and immedi-
ately the ex-president marked him for
slaughter. But for Mr.. Roosevelt's
speech Mr.. Tawney would be alive and
speaker Of the house of representatives
today.-Fairmont Sentinel.
Even admitting that Theodore
Roosevelt's speech defeated Jim
Tawney politically, we are unable to
understand how this could be respon-
sible for the arterial sclerosis which
caused his death.

Max Eastman saws that Frederic

Max Eastman says that Frederick
c. Howe, the man set by the admin
istration to guard the gate against un-
desirable aliens at the harbor of New
York, "did everything short of re-
signing his office" to prevent the re-
cent deportation of bolshevik revolu-
tionaries. This is an authoritative
and interesting statement. When an
uplifter like Mr.. Howe almost re-
signs place on the public pay roll it
may be assumed that his feelings are
all narrowed up. Just why he is the
one man picked, out of hundred mil
lion, to pass upon the entry of aliens
at the nations chief port of entry is
something that might require ex-
PLANTATION to those who do not under
stand all the implications of the pres

Is this man Howe himself bolshe-
visit or just a plain darphool? But
it matters not which, he is certainly not
the proper person to guard the gate.

1t is. obvious that petticoats exer-
else a great influence over many of
the governors of the states-at least
they have decided to call extra ses-
sions Of their legislatures to ratify
the suffrage amendment of congress.
We are opposed to the special session
in Minnesota for the reason that it
will place an unnecessary burden on
the shoulders of the taxpayers
necessary because this suffrage fad
can be acted upon at the next regular
session. There is no time limit on the
ratification proposition, and the tax
payers noses have already been placed
on the grindstone to the extent of
metamorphosing them into the re-
trousse.

Announcing that the airplane mail
henceforth will leave Chicago for
Cleveland at 2:3G p. M, Assistant
Postmaster General Praeger said that
the arial post shortens the time of
mail transmission between Chicago
and New York 16 hours. He expects
that the airplane mail service will be
extended to Omaha and St. Louis in
the fall Minneapolis Journal.
It must be admitted that the air
plane mail service has so far proven
disastrous, but what matters this if,
as charged, Postmaster General Burle-
son has big holdings in the Cleveland
corporation which furnishes the
planes? A few more men dashed to
earth and killed would be of no ma
terial Importance!

German generals have been in con-
ference with the ex-kaiser at Amer
ongen. castle, and there is reason to
believe that conspiracy exists to
ultimately spirit him back to Berlin
and place him on the throne. One
thing is certain, and that is, Wilhelm
has thousands of devotees in Germany
who would again flock to his standard.
1t is to be deplored that the allies have
not ere this rooted him out of his
refuge and hung him. So long as he
remains in Amerongen he is in con-
slant touch with his supporters in
Germany and is consequently a men

It cannot be denied that Villa is a
villain, bandit, murderer, horse thief
and all that sort of thing-but Car
rama, who pretends to be a pious
gentleman Of pure Castilian blood, is
a liar in addition to being guilty of
as many crimes, or probably more,
than Villa. They are both bad men,
without an iota of difference between
them so far as criminality is con-
cerned, and the United States govern
ment should recognize neither.

That was surely a bright idea of
the allies in permitting German sailors
to remain in charge of the battleships
which constituted part of the vessels
to be surrendered. AS might have
been expected, the Huns scuttled the
ships rather than turn them over to
the victors, and, consequently, millions
of dollars worth of property is lost
to the allies. It would seem that the
allies had experienced sufficient Hun
trickery to decide them to place their
own men on the vessels and thus not
run any chances.

A chauffeur named Warren Whip,
with the Red Cross in Paris, is re-
ported to have invented an appliance
by which a car will run 80 miles on
a quart of gasoline or $50 miles on a
gallon. With this appliance, it is
said no carburetor is necessary. The
introduction of this device should, in
the natural order of things prove a
boon to car owners, but upon it's gen
eral introduction the oil combine would
be liable to raise the price of gaso-
line to such point that there would
be little or no saving in cost of opera
ton. You can never tell.

dollar trial against the Chicago Trib-

National Republican,: IT, is

National Republican: It is an
nounced that twelve pre-dreadnaught
battleships of the American fleet will
soon be taken out of commission and
either "scrapped" or sunk in target
practice. A good many lay minds
wonder why ships of this kind should
be "scrapped' or sunk. That they
would have some value in naval de-
tense in time of war is certain. They
could be used as transports in emer-
gencies. Their upkeep would be a
matter of small cost. Why the anx-
iety to sink or break up such ships
representing an investment of many
millions Of dollars, and still possessing
more value as ships than as junk?

of the task of peacemaking has made
many mistakes. When he succumbed
to the forces of secret diplomacy he
