ted of printing seditious articles in
"The Masses" which has since been
forced to suspend publication, is named

using as means of committing aapub,
lie offence againststhe O. laws of the State
of New York; of bringing about the
overthrow of organized government by
force; by unlawful means; by melting
riot, and endangering life and the de-
struction Of valuable property"
Raiders Find Doors Locked s.
When the troopers of Company X
entered the premises they found all
the doors of the top floor locked. So

not molested, and as soon as. the care
taker, James Donleavy, could be To-
Gated the search warrant was served
on him, and all printed matter, let
tiers and documents having to do with
anarchistic. Bolshevist or revolution
var topics were seized in the name of
the government.
There was little commotion and no
resistance. No one was, however, al
lowed to enter or leave the building
during tls search. After all the avail
able doekments had been taken from
John ResI's Office the effects of Maxi
milan Cohen, executive secretary of
the left wing of the Socialists, were
seized, together with those of Benjamin
Gitlow, the business manager Of "The

Under the caption "a Reply to a

davit quotes in part:
Hope for Easy Victory
"Do we hold that the revolution must
come by violence? To answer this

From "The Rebel Worker" an l. w.

quoted from the issue of April Is last
the following:
"The United States is in the grip of
a bloody revolution! Thousands of
workers are slaughtered by machine
guns in New York City! Washington
is on fire. Industry is at standstill
and thousands of workers are starving.
The government is using the most bru-

what we may expect to see on the front
pages of what few newspapers survive

WHY CONGRESS DON'T.

"Why doesn't congress do some thing?"
 That is the threabare inquiry we hear day by day from many tongues. It may refer to one thing, or it may concern another.
 Why doesn't congress do some thing?
 The answer is very simple, very tragic - because we do nothing ourselves.
 , We send a representative to con- gress and we expect him to consider our wishes, to do our bidding.
 Then we close our mouths and sit down and wait for him to do some thing"
 But what is he to do?
 How is he to know what we want done?
 Does he ever hear from us?
 While we are comfortably warm ing our chairs other interests-for- eign to us-are getting busy with Mir. Congressman.
 They are very agreeable to him, very enticing, and very tenacious they never let go.
 Their interests are kept before that congressman day by day, hour by hour Ours are lying dormant in the chairs we are warming. The congressman seldom hears of them.
 Senators and congressman are adopts at passing the buck. So long as the buck is kept moving it does none of them any particular harm, but once it slows up it is liable to cause an explosion. And they don't like explosions. It is safer to start the buck on again.
 Occasionally, between bucks, they do little work, because they al

SID SAYS:
If You Expect Any Miracles in 1920 You Have Got to Perform Them.

The New Year is at hand. But January and the days to follow will be no different from December 31 and the days behind, unless you make them different.
 One of the silliest of human delu- sions is the idea that time will bring everything out all right. Haven't you heard people get that off-and then proceed to do nothing whatever with time? The most pitiable busi- ness failure I know of was due to a self-deluded individual in the con- cern who did nothing but counsel the great things that time was going to do with the business. Just wait, ," was his advice. What we need is time. Leave it to time" So they did. And in time the business de- cayed.
 Foolish people leave all sorts of things to time. Some leave the ques- tion of i'll health to time. Others leave the question of thrift to time. Only today I heard $25, 5,0O0-a-year man, right here in New York, who at 50 is spending every nickel he makes saving nothing l suppose he thinks that God cares for the ravens, and that God will take care of him. | God will no doubt care for him-Just as He cares for the ravens. But ravens don't live until they lose their jobs because of old age. Neither do they require steam-heated apart ments, underclothes, and hair mat tresses to sleep on.
 Another most interesting case of leaving a thing to time has just come to my attention. A certain man in these United States, who thinks he is going to be nominated for the presidency next June, regards himself as a "man of destiny" To his intimates he thus refers to him self. But he is doing nothing te
 prove himself a man of destiny. Hi' friends are getting nervous. The!
 are beginning to fear that he is des
 tined to remain permanently seated
 in a rocking chair.
 Left to itself, time is nothing but 1 grand little passer. Look how l
 passes in the desert and in the Arc tic circle. Plenty of time-but m potatoes.

AN ARKANSAN TOASTS WATER

Col. Bob Make was at the annual meeting of the Bar Association of North Arkansas, and some of his friends thought it would be merry jest to propose that he respond to the toast, Water" but the colonel was equal to the occasion. He said:
 MT. Postmaster, Ladies and Gen. tlemen-You have asked me to re spond to the coast Water, the purest and best of all things that God ere ated. I want to say to you that l have seen it glisten in tiny tear drops on the sleeping lids of infancy; l have seen it trickle down the blushing cheeks of youth, and go in rushing torrents down the wrinkled cheeks of age. I have seen it in tiny dew drops on the blades of grass like polished diamonds when the morning sun

 eastern hills. I have seen it in the
 rushing river ripping over pebbly bottems; roaring over precipitous falls in. it's mad rush to join the mighty father of waters. And have seen it in the mighty ocean on whose broad bosom float the battleships of the world; but, ladies and gentlemen, I want to say to you now, that, as a beverage, it is a d-d failure"

We go to sleep at home, and the congressman, of course, follow our example and go to sleep in Wash ington.
 That's the reason congress doesn't do something"
 If each voter in the district would write an occasional letter to our congressman and acquaint him with the needs of the district and our at titude on public questions. then the congressman would have no occasion for passing the buck.
 He would have to buck up, instead.

On Monday morning about

On Monday morning about
$50 Mr.. p. ID. Broussard, the
Center Street merchant had some
experiences that will in the future
make him more careful in display
ing money in his store. As it
IS, he is out something like
$So.55 in money and checks. A
negro by the name of Homer
Sophas is mcarcerated in the Par
ish prison charged with the crime.
1t seems that morning Mr.. Brous-
sard had opened his safe to make
change for a lady and after Civ
ing her the change tossed the
bag over on a shelf which stood
near the safe. The lady then
started out and in came Sophas
who asked 10 buy some oats which
is kept in the back part of the
store. While Mr.. Broussard
stepped to the adjoining room, the
lille1 saw his opportunity to get
the cash and ran his hand in the
bag and withdrew the money,
concealing it in his pocket unno-
tlced by Mr.. Broussard. When
the negro stepped out Of the store,
Mr.. Broussard then went where
he thought the money intact and
glanced in the bag. discovering
the money gone. He then gave
chase to the negro but he made
his escape and was arrested later
and 1t now remains upon Mr..
Broussard to proove him guilty,
if he succeed to the pen Sophas|
will go.
