WASHINGTON,-Th new alignment of the people is coming up that will sweep away existing political parties unless they face and solve re- adjustment problems was the warning sounded to chieftains recently by Senators Kenyon ond Borah, progress sive leaders.
 They caution against ostrich tac- tics" as means of disposing of the menace of Bolshevism in the United States.
 They urge honest, fearless, straightforward tactics by the govern ment and political leaders to cope with reconstruction problems affect ing the great mass of the American people.
 After sounding the warning to "standpatters" in both parties that "a terrific jolt is coming to them from the American people" unless present conditions are remedied, Borah and Kenyon outlined ways of meeting the Bolshevlsm menace to this country.
 Their statements represented the sentiments of the progressive group in the senate.
 Those in power, whether in po- litical parties or in the government, who blind themselves to the menace of Bolshevism in this country are courting disaster" said Kenyon.

 Appeals are being made to repub- lican and democratic leaders to put their respective parties on record for a broad, wise governmental welfare policy that will recognize the rights of the workers as they have never been recognized.

 What the people want is acton, not talk; results, not promises. The wise political party is the one whici will go on record and then obtain laws like the following:
 Il. Creating at once a commiscio on public works to cooperate with the states in pushing necessary public work during hard times and to act as a buffer in absorption of surplus labor in the reconstruction period. This will remove the unemployment menace which is growng by leiaps and bounds.

A NEW CALENDAR

In this era of change all the world
over, even the calendar is not free
from restive minds and hands. Already
the face OF the earth has been re-
modelled. The geography lessons of
our youth seem to be wasted There
are new boundary lines and new coun-
tries TO be learned The old clock has
been tampered with, and the hours
run on a different schedule so as to
provide for daylight saving. Nothing
seems now to be sacred The rest
less spirit of the times now has at
tackled our centuries old calendar Of
months. and Congress is asked to tear
down the old and to build up a new
system.
The new calendar that is proposed is
based upon strictly mathematical lines.
No longer would it be necessary to
keep a famous nursery jingle in mind
to determine whether month has
thirty days or not. Each month would
have the same number of days, TWEEN
ty-eight, and the February of today
would be the new model for all of its
colleagues. And superstition would
be defed. There would be thirteen
months instead of twelve. Every month
would begin on Monday, and so do
away with the present vast amount OF
figuring. No longer would it be nee
essary to use pencil and paper and
arithmetic to know upon what day of
the week Christmas would fall. and
the Fourth of July, and the other hol-
iday festivals. They would always
come on the same day
The new month that would be add
ed would bear the name of Liberty.
and its place in the calendar would be
between February and March. The
name seems to be well chosen from a
weather standpoint, for that is the
season when the weather takes the

greatest liberty with the inhabitants
of earth. But there seems to be one
great drawback to the proposal There
would be thirteen months of rent to
pay instead Of twelve, and most per-
sons find the present number of rent
bills amply sufficient to prevent a fam
lily surplus. And there would seem to
be the further question Of whether the
United States could adopt such
change without the consent of the
League Of Nations. Altogether it seems
to be a change that should be very
warily made, and only after deep and
devout consideration. And if the cal
endar is to be changed. is there any
thing that can be deemed safe in our
daily life?-Philadelphia Press.
