BE NOT AFRAID
BE not afraid of Rolshevism !
ny DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919. by Frank Cranc)

BE not afraid of Boshevisml
It is the violent reaction Of peoples long
battened down under the matches OF
tyranny.
After while it will spend its force.
After the first mad excuses Of anarchy,
once liberty has appeared, men always come
back again TO the arms of law.
For in the end. only in law is liberty, only
in order and self-restraint is real freedom.
Bolshevism and revolt have not changed
human nature. The reservoirs Of kindness,
justice, and intelligence are still in the
people.
This storm will soon be over. even as the
horror Of the French Revolution passed
and left a surer order.
BE not afraid of the outcome Of Capital
and Labor.
There will be no Revolution in this
country.
Ingrained in us all is the Anglo Saxon
respect of Law and Order.
We are not Russians nor Germans, and
we know how 10 govern ourselves. We
know how TO get what we want without
smashing the furniture.
American Labor and American Capital
are both sound at the core. If they Shout
dered their rifles and marched TO war to-
gether, they will know how 10 attack the
problems Of reconstruction together.

SECOND PLACE NOT

Boston, Dec 14.-New England is
bubbling with speculation and sur
mise about the Republican Presiden-
tial candidates. their prospects and
| their real strength. More interest is
being displayed in the preconvention
situation than has been observable
with one exception. that of the
RooseyeltTaft duel Of 1912, in 20
years.

discussion has to do almost altogeth-

or about their leading candidates, if
there are any such persons No. the
| talk is all Republican that one hears
in Boston streets or street cars and

shops OF the country towns. for New
England seems to be penetrated by
the feeling that whoever gets the
Republican nomination will be a good
man and unbeatable
The conviction is shouted eXultant.
ly by all brands of the reunited G. O.
p. and confessed TO with gloom and
despair by good many Democrats.
For many months before the by
elections of November there had been
Il feeling in the air that Republican
victory in 1920 was sure and certain.
The result OF the elections solidified
that "hunch.' New England there
fcre, exhibits tremendous interest in
the chances OF the various Republi-
can candidates, but wastes little
gray matter guessing on Democratic
possibilities. The recent election had
one definite effect on the political
future. It produced a New England
candidate in the person of Gov. Cal
vim Coolidge, and by that much
checked the undoubted trend toward
Gen. Leonard Wood. About these
two personalities the talk is now
boiling
The Governor is an out and out
candidate for the leading place on the
national ticket and is not TO be nut
off with a second place honor That
much was assured in a talk with the
Governor today His position. sue
cinctly put. is just this
He would like to be nominated but
he declines to scramble for the honor
He cherishes the fine old notion that
the Presidency should seek the man.
He believes that the Governor of
any state has quite enough to do in
such times as these if he simply
stays ON his own job But he has
not discouraged his friends who have
cried his qualifications to the country
at large nor will he discourage them.

WHERE ESKIMO IS SUPERIOR
Home Life Declared by Stefansson to
Be Practically ldeaI--Hospitable
in the Extreme.

Vilhialmur StefansSon. in writing
of his 13 months stay among the Es-
kimQs, tells of their great kindness
to Il guest who could not pay for his
keep, says Harper's, a stranger whose
purpose among them they did not
know. thus:
in an Eskimo home | have never
heard an unpleasant word between a
man and his wife, never seen a child
punished nor an old person treated in
considerably. The household affairs
are carried on in an orderly way and
the good behavior of the children is
remarked by practically every traveller
In many things we are the superb
ors of the Eskimo and in few we are
his Interiors. The moral value of some
OF his superiority is small. He can
make better garments against cold
than our tailors and furriers; he can
thrive in barren wastes where a New
Highlander would starve.
But of some Of his superiority the
moral value is great. He has deveI-
oped individual quality further than
we, he is less selfish, more helpful to
his fellows. kinder to his wife gentler
to his child, more reticent about the
faults OF his neighbor than any but
the rarest and best of our race.

STRIKES HAVE COST
COUNTRY TWO BILLION
Labor's Share in Great Loss Since
January I, Estimated at
S723, 47s, 800

New York, Dee. 10. According to a
computation of reports from all sec
I lions of the country by the New York
Sun, there has been a loss OF over two
billion dollars through strikes since
Januery l. The Sun says:
Since January this year strikes
in this country have cost labor Just
about $723 ,47S,300 Meanwhile, and
incidentally, capital was suffering a
f loss of approximately S1.266, 957 ,450
THE Sun has made this calculation
from unofficial figures obtained from
several States. Where States have
kept tables and statistics upon indus
trial conditions figures were obtained
from those official files. In other in
stances. where there were no official
tGbula ions, recourse was had to pri-
yate files and to the figures kept by
labor organizations and such repre-
sentative bodies as chambers of COM
merce and the like.
1T was estimated that with the con
tinuance of the present strikes until
the first of the year the total loss in
wages for the twelve months will reach
81 100000 600 and the loss to industry
$2,000,00O, 0O0'
