A DANGEROUS MENACE.

A member of the federal government
estimates there are $4,000 aliens in the
United States today who are advoeat
ing the destruction of all government
and the establishment of revolution in
this country. The government has in
its possession copies of radical papers,
printed in foreign languages, that open
" urge the destruction of government
as the enemy of anarchism and radi-
calism.
A New York radical paper printed
in the Ukrainian language recently
said:
A bourgeois is a lazy, dangerous,
bloodthirsty creature who has not the
slightest right to exist. His character
is just the opposite of the workers
character. He is nature greedy, ego
tistic, vulgar. He cannot live without
the exploitation of the worker, and I'M
less he can feed upon the workers life.
Victims and more victims are needed
for the upkeep of his existence The
bourgeoise, in other words, is a class OF
parasites, whose existence is not justi-
fed either by biological, moral, or ec-
onomic laws.
This is only one of the statements
even more radical that are being dis
tributed among the poorer and ignor-
ant classes of the country. They are
distributed almost wholly among for
eigners who have come here to exploit
American employers to the fullest pos
sible extent.
The st. Adams Messenger in an able
editorial says:
Now a great element of the radica
strength is the attitude of the public
which cannot believe that it is posi-
BILE for a revolution to take place il
this country Especially does this be
lief exist in the minds of those who un
derstand our form of government, VIII

olution and who know that if the hope
of men cannot be realized in this land
then, indeed, has hope departed fror
the world

When the Vermont branch of the
American Legion holds its first annual
convention in Burlington during the
latter part of October there should be
no indication of split in the mem
bership, with the veterans of the 26th
division on the one side and the other
members arrayed against them as was
evidenced in the political Vaccinations
of the Massachusetts branch conven-
ton recently. The ranks should be
closed up and kept closed up from the
very beginning of the Vermont branch
There should be no military aristocracy
and no class distinctions in the Vermont
branch. Let it be united American

little horse.

There are some creatures who would
not be happy If they were in my
place." he continued.
"W'hy not. neigh. neigh? asked
Kitty.
you would be happy If you were in
my place. and you are happy in your
own place." said Prince. "for you are
a sensible little horse. But j didn't

happy in my stall.
''What meant was something quite
little bit different"
"What was itg asked Kitty. Wont
you tell me?"
Yes, indeed, neigh. neigh" said
Prince, land this will be my story.
There are some creatures" he be-
gan, "who always want to be some

thing they haven't got. or they want
to be doing something else from what
they're doing.

Without Fear or Favor.
(Rutland NeWs0

The Brattleboro Reformer charges
that some of the subsidiary courts in
Vermont have disregarded the law as
to reporting to the secretary of state
automobile accidents. 1t may be true
as alleged, that the automobile depart
nent depends upon the newspapers for
most of its facts in such cases. Per
haps not all automobile accidents in
which state officials themselves are in.
volved are reported to the proper au-
;hority. In this, as in all other matters
the law should be enforced without fear
or favor.

Explaininc Geysers.

In word, the whole secret of the
intermittent geyser lies in subterran-
can reservoir, the contents of which
are forced out by steam expansion ev-
cry time it gets filed up. The Yellow
stone park is region which not SO
very long ago was fiercely volcanic.
In that role it has ceased to play an
alarming part, but locally the earth's
crust is extremely thin. A very liter
al hell RACES not far beneath the plac-
es frequented by tourists, and thence
is derived the heat that causes the out
bursts of the geysers.

ing of something else they can't be
possibly enjoying the thing they're do
ing at the time. All their thought and
time is used up on something else.
For instance there are people who
are tired OF their horses and who want
automobiles. OF course that is sore
point with me, and l suppose I'm a
little jealous of the automobiles so it
is just as well not to talk about them.
Il try not to be jealous of them
Most assuredly I do.
But there are creatures who are
in one place and they're always wish
ing they were somewhere else. They
are at a party and they wish they were
on paper chase. They are driving
and they wish they could be walking
and so having exercise.
There are children who wish their
papas had the money that other chill
dren's papas have so they could wear
more beautiful sashes and own more
toys.
There are the papas, too, who wish
they were other papas and had great
big business dealings which made
them very rich. There are mothers
| who wish they had as fine motors and
| horses and dresses as some other
mothers they know, and they wish
they could dress their children in the
beautiful clothes that some children
| dress In.
There are little boys who wish they
could be big boys and big boys who
wish they could be little boys.
There are little girls who wish they
could be big girls and big girls who
wish they could be little girls. There
are people who go to the seashore who
keep wishing for the mountains and
people who go TO the mountains who
keep wishing for the sesshorc.
There are people who long for hst
weather and when 1t comes they wish
1t were cool. Then when IL gets cool
they wish the heat would come bac',
again as they don't like it quite cno'.
There are people who draw pi,
lures who wish they could W.T.
stories and there are people who write
stories who wish they could draw
pictures.
None of these people are really

TRIED TO SELL
 $500 COAT AND
 WERE ARRESTED
Actor and Wife Held Under 1000 Bond for
 Theft

While trying to dispose of a $500 mink coat in Waterbury yesterday afternoon, Henry and Joyce Bier, of 11S Clinton avenue, Hoboken, N. J., were arrested by Detective Jack Ger rity, of this city, charged with steal ing the garment from Helen McCar- thy, of 1,04S Main street.
 The man and woman were arraigned in the City court this, morning on charges of theft, and the case was continued until Saturday. Bonds were fixed at S1 900 for each prisoner.
 The couple became acquainted with Miss Mccarthy about two years ago, when they roomed at her house. Mon day afternoon they called on their former friend, and Mrs. Bier became infatuated with a mink coat which Miss Mccarthy recently purchased. While the woman kept her hostess attention in the kitchen, Bier secured the mink coat and left the house.
 Proceeding to Waterbury MT. and Mrs. Bier attempted to sell the gar ment, but only succeeded in arousins the suspicious of the Waterbury po- lice. A telephone call to Bridgeport tective Gerrity placed the couple un- der arrest a short time later. They were brought back to Bridgeport last night.
 Bier claims to be 19 years old, and says he is an actor. He has played in vaudeville in this city. His wife gives her age as Is, and is also said to be a vaudeville performer.

 One of them grounded during the night in the upper St. Mary's river near the point where the Kotcher went ashore yesterday. Another steamer was reported ashore on Whitefish Point. The w. c. Rich ardson, disabled while seeking shel- ter from the storm, wes being towed to this port today by tugs.
 No word that would indicate the fate of the crew of thu Myron which went down Saturday, has been re- ceived here, and the owners of the vessel have all but abandoned hope for their rescue.

New Bill Provides For Two Irish ParliamentS MOST HOPEFUL SIGN OF AGREEMENT IS ST LENCE OF SIR EDWARD CARSON TENDS
 TO CANCELLATION

London, Nov. 26.---A new home rule bill setting up two parliaments in Ireland, with a council or senate of forty to be chosen by the two, will probably be introduced in parliament within the next two weeks Daily sessions are being held by the cab inet committee m> charge of the meas ure. the subject under discussion at present being finance, which is in charge of a subcommittee under the chairmanship of J. Austen Chamber lain, chancellor of the exchequer.
 Control of customs has always been a point of sharpest difference when other home rule schemes have
 been debated and was one of the rocks on which the Irish convention
 was shipwrecked. Control of police is another knotty point.
 The most hopeful sign of an agree ment is the silence which Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader, has pre- served since the latest Irish kite was flown. Sir Edward has not issued any mandates to the Ulster volunteers to keep their powder dry" while the presenc eof two hitherto staunch Unionist leaders, Walter Hume Long l and Baron Birkenhead, on the com- mittee shows that Ulster is tending | toward conciliation.
