U. s. GOVERNMENT IS
KISSED BY CROWD
Socialist Meeting Cheers Pre-
diction Soviets Would Take
Over Country.

The United States Government was
Kissed and a prediction that it would be
taken over by Soviets, patterned after
those OF Russia, was cheered vociferous-
~ last night by $500 persons who packed
themselves into the Central Opera House.
EOS East .SiXty-seventh street, where the
Socialist party OF New York officially
welcomed L. A. c. K Martens. the Rus
sian Soviet Government representative
here.
The hisses came when Gregory Vein
stein, editor OF Novy MI. the Russian
Socialist newspaper. criticised the United
States for sending American soldiers to
Russia despite President Wilson's decla-
ration that I'VE are not at war with that
country"
I'VE have come here to tell Conrade
Martens" said he, that we intend to
prepare to take over this great country
Just as the working class has taken over
Russia
Weinstein was unable to continue for
some seconds while his audience burst
into frenzy of applause.
8. John Block. a lawyer and chairman
Of the New York Socialist County Com
mittee, who was chairman Of the meet
ing. declared that capital was "in its last
desperate fight against the inevitable
coming of Socialism" He said that al
though Martens had not been here to
give out Boishevlki propaganda. the So
Wet Government in Russia nevertheless
had been reaping the benefit OF ''unoffi-
cial propaganda distributed by the Unit
ed States Supreme Court
ut made a few hundred thouea nd
votes for US in declaring the child labor
law unconstitutional" he said. When
II declared few days ago that the man
beloved inc ~
this country-Eugenc V. Debs-must go
to prison, II brought socialism so much
nearer in the United States. But he will
not stay there long. We Socialists will
zee to It that Mr.. Woodrow Wilson OF
Washington and Paris must declare a
general amnesty TO political prisoners in
the United States. Those men and
women who have gone to Jail for saying
less than capitalistic politicians say al
most any day in Albany. Washington
and New York city. will be with us again
in a few weeks and Eugene V. Debs will
be here"
The uproar which followed this state
ment again threw the hall into confusion.
Just before ne introduced Martens.
Block paid his respects to Mayor Ole
Hanson OF Seattle. whose name was
loudly Kissed.

set back the whee.s of progress" said

Common Sense

It has no trumpet-nor does it
puff itself up or tie blue ribbons
on its breast. 1t simply moves
along on a straight road upon
which it is not possible to be lost.
It's presence makes itself felt,
not by antagonisms or self
assertiveness, but by percepti-
BILE sense of the existence of a
present force to mark out safe
and sensible course of action.
Just to be at" and do the
right thing is not an impossibility
and is we'll worth striving for.

MENACE OF BOLSHEVlSM

A few days ago the Gazette COM
mcnted upon "a suggestive picture
which appeared in a Baltimore paper
1t represented Il savage, virtually
naked, with rings in his nostrils
laughing at civilization and its many
movements to bring about peace and
coed will toward men.
Dispatches today from Europe rep
resent the old world as being in .
frrmcnt, such as has not been seen in
centuries. The strides of Boishev!sm
are becoming more rapid every day,
and representative men Of the world
are standing aghast at present condi-
tionS and viewing with alarm what
events seem to ba in the future. Our
own country is liable TO become n
fected by this tide of disorder which
is ercroaching upon the civilized
portions of the world, as violence and
disorder are reported everywhere.
The announcement that Hungary,
inspired by Eolshevism. is about t"
war on the allies has sent forth an
alarm everywhere.
ST. Brice in the Paris Journal says
the situation is as serious as that
which arose when the Congress Of
Vienna learned of Napcleons return
from Elba. Today, as hundred
years ago, negotiations have pro-
vokcd and have hecn surprised by
destiny.
Socialism, iconoclasm. hunger. en-.
forced idleness, distrust of govern
n ent. wilif:ll experimentation. grow
ng contempt for all Of Illustrations
these are the forces that are every
where rampant at present.

aries, have almost succeeded in wiping
out the practice of selling little child
rem like chattels in the market place.
In the past it was the usual thing
for father or mother to sell or give
away surplus offspringl:, or fling the
innocents into the river or leave them
in the fields or forests. This is one
of the surviving pagan customs o.
China, which it is hoped to destroy
entirely through the spreading of
Christian democracy to that nation by
means of the missionary centenary of
the Methodist Episcopal church which
was organized to raise $l2O,OOO,OOO
for furthering mission work of the
two branches of Methodi;m at home
and abroad.
Prominent Chinese strongly object
to having such deplorable incidents as
the selling Of babies by their mothers
called typi:al' of the worlds largest
nation. They say these are simply
"throw-backs" atavistic reminders of
the bahbarisy Of bygone centuries,
which crop out now and then as do
savage and cruel characters in the
most highly cultivated races.
"This curse shall! meet the same
fate as opium smoking and foot bind
ing" said a Christian Chinese recent
~. at cannot stand the strong light
Of education, enlightenment, and
better living conditions. These are
the cure.
Toward the better day, when
heathenish cruelty shall be only a
memory. China is progressing with
giant strides. Such generous assist
ance as will be given by the Metho-
dist centenary movement is hasten
ing the change. China, better than
perhaps any other backward nation
today, recognizes the boon which
Christian civilization is holding out
to hey and is grasping this good. gift
firmly"

ANOTHER SAD DEATH

Elsewhere in the Gazette will be
found the announcement Of the
drowning of an Alexandrian, member
of the American Expeditionary Force
in France. The young soldier who
will not come back was Thomas Cook,
and the circumstances IN connection
with his death, months after the
close of hostilities, are distressing.
The deceased had been walking, and
coming to a bridge which spanned
a river sat upon the railing Of the
structure, upnconscious of the fact
that Death was logging his steps.
The unfortunate young man had been
in the CLASH of battle, had escaped
bullets and shells, but the simmer
inc stream over which he was gazing
was waiting for him, and the railing
of the structure giving way, he found
himself laundering in the current.
He soon drowned ana his body was
| carried on and had not been recover
! cd when the notification of his death
was sent to his widowed mother IN
this city.
The above brings to mind many
equally sad occurrences after the
sword of war had been returned to us
scabbard. A large transport bearing
federal soldiers who had received
their discharges at the close, of oul
civil war foundered on The way W
the coast and most of those aboarC
persisted. An ammunition factory at
Danville blew up and killed about
thirty men after the scenes at APP
pomattox.
+, The death Of young Cook bring;
TO mind the death Of another Alex
andrian who persisted in the Congo
fifteen or sixteen years ago. The lat
| ten, Rev. Henry G. Slaymaker, was
a Christian solder, who had gone t.
Africa to proclaim the Gospel to th'
natives. The small steamer rrol
/ which he CHANGED to be at the time
was caught in current, capSlzed
and he and about twenty natives wore

which he dug out of the high bank 1T
the White House about twelve miles
below Alexandria. 1t was evidently
fired from British man-of-war dur
ing the COMMANDMENT of American
!, forces at that point during the sec
ond war for independence.
\ fey days ago another reminder
of the second clash was unearthed at
the plant of the torpedo factory
which embraces the area bounded b.
Lee. Cameron and Union streets and
Fayette alley. also the ground on the
Strand from Union to the river front.
1t was Il, the shape of solid can

reclaimed u century ago. This solid
shot was doubtless dropped where

city during the war of 1912.
