coDDLING THE REDS. !"

An uneasy suspicion is deepening into con-
viction that somebody influential with the gov
eminent or connected with it is protecting
against deportation of anarchists and bolshe-
visits who have been rounded up to be sent tol
the countries from which they came. just how
ii has happened the public is not allowed tol
know, but the plan to rid the country OF these
scoundrels appears to have broken down. "
the trainload of them taken to the east from
the state of Washington six months ago only
seven have been deported and all but three OF
the others have been turned loose more rablel
and dangerous haters of society and enemies OF
the government than they were before.
Ole Hansen, late mayor of Seattle, knows bet
ter. perhaps than anyone else what menace
to America these lawless miscreants are and the
lamentable ineficiency and paralysis OF the gov
ernnent's attempt to control them. It would
take, he declares, just one or two men OF .cour,
age in the national capital to end the peril and
bring their infamous plans to naught but
there seem to be no such men and the result Is
that while FIVE thousand arrests with view to
deportation have been made SO far this year,
and ninety-two convicted and sentenced to be
sent away, only thirty seven have been shipped
out of the country.
But a congressional committee has taken the
matter up and is sitting at Ellis island where
eighty eight anarchists are detained Tins
precious gang of radicals has refused to answer
questions why they should not be deported and
have roared out their song, 1.-The Red Flag
Forever" at the top of their voices, to show
their supreme contempt of the authorities. But
Congressman Isaac Siegel, chairman OF the COM
lmittee. is man of the kind that Ole Hansen
longs for. These reds are going to 60 ne
saws. every last man of them who objects to the
government of the United States; and refusal
to answer questions Is all the evidence OF their
ldisloyalty the committee wants.

LEAVING SOMETHING OUT.

One of the means most frequently advocated
in this day for the lettering Of relations be-
tween capital and labor is proft-sharing. There
are various forms of it, but the general method
of all of them is the same-the employer takes
{. reasonable return and the worker gets his
pay, then the profits after these are divided on
a pre-arranged basis This is expected to give
the worker an interest IN the business and to
allay his discomfort. But where do the rest of
us come in? Why are we left out Of the calcu-
lations? We unconsidered consumers have an
interest in the transaction and if the other
parties were wise, they would consider it. 1t
would seem to many of us that the ordinary
profit sharing scheme leaves out most import
ant element when it ignores the consumer The
worker is not the only one dissatisfied with
present conditions.
The sole aim of these proft-sharing schemes
seems to be to make the workers satisfied. If,
instead, it were agreed that when the business
showd reasonable profit for owner and work
ers the selling price to the consumer would be
cut down, not only would the consumer benefit
but the capitalist and the worker who are also
consumers would get the benefit of the lower

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.

The American Legion at Its recent national
gathering at Minneapolis very properly kept
aloof from politics; but it was inevitable that
national candidates. should be more or less dls-
cussed in private talks and the name OF General
leonard Wood was the one most frequently
on delegates lips Plans for the coming cam
paign are progressing, but very much quiet and
effective work is being DONE Astute party
leaders in the middle west are tlrelessly busy,
though keeping out Of the public eye, and there
Is much to indicate that the Wood boom Is grow
ing apace and that he is far IN the lead OF all
other aspirants at the present time.
When Conklin said of General Grant that : he
hailed from Appomattox and its famous apple
tree. he took that way of bringing out the fact
that the great civil war soldier national
candidate. rather than the fayorite son Of
state. The same is true of General Wood,
though it happens also that he IS the fayorite
son of New Hampshire the place OF his birth,
and in that state on March sixth the first presl-
Dental primaries viii be held
Next among the present apparent presidential
possibilities is Governor Lowden, OF illinois,
and there are men with reputation for wise
political forecasting who suggest that Lowden
and Coolidge is a combination of names likely
TO be much heard of as the weeks go on They
are strong men and their nomination would
make geographically well balanced ticket.
Both would make their states sure. and Illinois
has twenty-nine electoral votes and Massa-
chusetts eighteen But General Wood, who
more than any other American carries on the
Roosevelt tradition. is believed to be stronger
in a greater number of states than any other
candidate now in the public eye.

price. Moreover, the lower price would induce
increased consumption, thus giving employment
to more workers.
1t is to be hoped that some day employer and
worker will come to the point OF remembering.
that they are not the only elements In the COM
nlunity. Having come to this point, they will,
il they be wise, act upon it. They are likely to
find in that case that they are doing great deai
to lessen the general sum of unrest

BANIsHING A SCOURGE.

The fight against tuberculosis IN the dairy
herds of the United States Is being systematic
ally waged with more evidence OF success than
in former wears. In fact, it is believed by men
well informed regarding the work OF eradlca-
ton that bovine tuberculosis is in fair way to-
ward Punishment.
The accredited herd system is the means by
which this work of tuberculosis control IS beng
pushed forward with success. The United
States department Of agriculture, cooperating
with the various states, accredlts herds which
have undergone series of tests and have been
found free from tuberculosis. There are now
seven hundred and eighty-two accredited herds
in the country and six thousand, five hundred
and thirty-six herds which have been once
tested without reactors.
Virginia leads the states in tuberculosis
eradication work, with its one hundred and
ninetv-six accredited herds and four hundred
and eighty-six herds once tested. The number
of herds wholly free from tuberculosis is rap
idly increasing in all parts OF the country, ana
ir time not very far distant it is thought that
a herd of cattle in which there are animals at
fected with tuberculosis will be a very rare ex-
ception in the leading dairy districts.
The movement is succeeding because it is not
backed by compulsory laws, but by the willing
co-operation of owners OF dairy herds.

Exploits Of Father Mems. who

who worked with Edith Caveli, the
martyred British nurse. In aiding
British prisoners to escape from Bel
GUM, have just been disclosed by the
Roman Catholic periodical, the Uni

Brussels, was associated with the al
lied intelligence department.
Once he disguised himself as a
cattle driver and. making his way to
Ostend, found the hiding place OF the
German submarines.
Air raids to England, the priest
learned, were usually preceded by a
dinner of the officers of the Zeppe-
Inns and Gothas. BY pretending to
be a pastry cook. he discovered when
the dinners were to be held. Carrier
pigeons carried his messages to Hol-
land, and before 6 p. m. the British
admiralty would nave word of the
coming raids. =
Escaped British prisoners, seeking
Nurse Cavell, proceeded, disguised,
to Brussels and were met there by a
little girl of IL. She used to carry a
big doll, run about and play, and look
in the shop windows. Without any

soldiers, she would lead them to the
house where Nurse Cavell awaited
them. There the men were bandaged
