against intelligence, skill and trained ability.
1t is a downward movement. 1t seeks to de-
prive those who have succeeded by merit and
by character of the legitimate fruits of their in
Iustry. 1t is the outcome of envy, greed and
malice.
1t might be contended with some plausabil-
ity that bolshevism is the logical development
of socialism. But let do justice to the mod
crate socialists. They never contemplated that
their claims on behalf of labor that it was en-
titled to living wage" and that it should not
be the slave of capitalists would degenerate in
to a demand for the subsection of every other
class in society to a rabid and senseless prole

enemies of their country-for by the Brest-

Russia to Germany-and their present policy
is an appeal to the worthless, the lawless and
the constituencies portion of the Russian popu-

Moreover, they seek to propagate their doc

Of Samuel c. Pandolfo, who chose st.

stage for this adventure, the most am

have kept the wolf from the Pandolfo

southwestern states, and no one seems
to know just how he came to pick the
pretty little town Of st. Cloud this

We are not concerned with the de-
tails OF the enterprise. and are citing
some OF them here merely to illustrate
the lengths to which promotion can go
without tangible industrial achieve
ment to back it up. A national blue
sky law such as the treasury depart
ment's capital issues committee has
asked congress to enact is needed
greatly to protect gul1ible investors.
Iowa has a fairly effective law which
probably will be revised by the pres
ent legislature to make It stronger.
But in several states the oily promoter
can work for months and garner al
golden harvest, often without laying
himself liable under any statute.
Millions have been sunk in fake
stocks which could not have been is

A FEMININE AGE.

Is it possible that the movement for what
used to be known as woman's rights is not con-
fined to the women of particular countries nor
yet to the femininty of the world but is uni
versal aspiration, cosmic impulsion toward
sex equality manifest even in the lower forms
OF life? At the poultry show in New York City
Miss Emma Steiner, an exhibitor, has not only
noted the passion of her hens to develop char
acteristics of masculinity but finds that some
among them have made extraordinary progress
along this line. A striking evidence of this is
the persistent attempt of hens which are the
leaders In their suffrage movement to vocalize
as the ROSTERS do and convert their feminine
cackle into a masculine crow, jubilant ere
scendo outburst, canorous and reboant, to
which the roosters listen in what seems stupi-
fed surprise. Already one of the hens owned
by Miss Steiner-C ristabel as the feathered
one is fttingly named-has far surpassed the
best performance of the males being able to
sing perfect tenth, melodious strain com
pounded of an octave and a third
Is this movement general throughout the
feathered world2 Are there in every species
ornaments to their sex, accomplished females
who aspire to take all masculine activities for
their province? Has feminine cycle in crea-
ton begun in which the intuitive sex. with its
quicker apperception of truth, is destined to
outdistance the finest achievements of the old
man-dominated age7
