LlFE's TOURISTS


,By Edgar Grant, @t,y,,
over the road we're touring, travellers
one and all,
Seeking the towns of gladness ere
ever the night shall fall:
Some of us driving wisely, some Of us
jogging along,
Snne Of us racing madly, needless of
right or wrong.
Hui all of us going somewhere, yes
all in the self-same chase.
Seeking the wales of pleasure and the
charm of happy place.
Over the road we're touring, now on
level way
With never danger, near us or
trouble to mar the day;
Then turn and the road grows heavy
and the ruin has bitter sting,
Then some of us lose our courage
and some of US blindly steer.
And some of us turn in byway and
wait for the road to clear.
=. Over lifes road we are touring, and
there's many hill to climb.
And many a detour rugged to make
in the course of time
And many an hour of trouble that
each in his days shall know,
And the swiftest shall sometimes fall
"- ter and find that his pace is
slow.
But the wise and the brave and faith
full that have driven lifes road
with care.
Shall come to the towns of gladness
and rest in the valleys fair.

migratory Worker and 6olsheVism"
Was His Theme.

John Spargo on Tuesday afternoon
addressed the Rotary Club of Roches-
ter at the Hotel Rochester on the
Migratory Worker and Bolsheyism.
A part OF the address was as follows:
III we turn to other nations We
find that the more democratic they
are the more bitter and aggressive is
the Bolsheyist agitation in them.
Switzerland, the most democratic OF
nations, is today a sec thing ealdron
and one OF the danger-s9ots OF the
world. Even in England, where such
movements in the past have had lit.
tie appeal, Bolsheylsm is spreading
and causing the statesmen the great.
est concern.
in our own country we have not
fully awakened 10 this serious men,
ace to our. democratic life and institu-
tons. For the most part we have
/ consoled ourselves with the belief
that Bolshevism is confined to q few
cities and to small groups of foreign
ers in those cities. AS a matter of
fact it Is far more extensive in its in
fluence than that and embraces a
very considerable section of our popn
lation.
In our so-called intellectual cir
cles Bolshevism is hailed as new
emancipation. There are Bolshevist
propaganda societies in practically
every city OF considerable size in the
United States with the possible OK
eeption OF some of the southern
states. It is q very surprising thing
to find among the names of the adj
mirers and supporters OF Bolshevism
good old honored American names
clearly Of revolutionary and colonial
origin.

ing. We must realize this and we
must make up our minds that the old
days Of Industrial autocracy are gone
that the workers in ali industries are
demanding and must receive an In.
creasingly large share In the govern
l ment and control Of the industry In
which they are engaged. The Whit
