THE MADNESS OF COMMUNISTS.

ing sanity and sanctity in feminine
nature that ressts beastliness.
The naturalization of women in
certain soviet states in Russia has
been OF little avail. All women were
ordered to register and We're to be
awarded to men. Offspring were to
be taken from the mothers when a
few weeks old and thenceforward the
state would rear them and parents
would have no further control.
In one town two girls who did not
register We're seized and comrades of
two claimants decided the eaptors
were entitled to possession. They were
carried away and their parents have
not since heard of them. In the town
of Kovrov the only women who reg
istered were two who had never been
wed, but were willing
Women of Russia do not seem to

would pigs,

BY HELEN ROWLAND.

Spreading your wings in the cloud

My spirit cries out to be WITH you
there,
Far from all battles and wars, and

And Bolsheviki and strikes and things.
From treaties and trenches. and new

And income taxes and city flats;
From servant problems and profiteers,
And loves and heartaches, and hopes
and fears.
To sail with you there. in an endless
flight, Is
And play hide-and-seek with satel-
lite!
To fly forever, nor care how far!
To race with q comet and hurdle a
star,
To dash through cloud made of I'M
spilled dew.
And spin round a frightened planet
or two
Till we've lost our way to this world
And can never, NEVER come back
again!
But the Brdman smiled, as he heard
my plea,
NAY, LADY," he answered, mot for

For I'm home again in this Land O.

And shads in season--and bright eyes

And it may be sweet where the planets

But give ME Fifth Avenue-in-Sp Spring.

THE SOUTH MAY BREAK.
Post

perhaps not in the next national
election, but certainly within a COM
paratively few years, the so-called
solid south will be broken" remarked
Fl. y. Jackson of Georgia. And the
southern democrats themselves will be
largely to blame for the loss of their
stronghold. They have been lin the
saddle for six years and have made
themselves so unpopular by their at
titude that even their own people are
dissatisfied. 1t was the first time in
more than half century that the
southern democrats had a chance, and
instead of being temperate they got
intoxicated with power.
1T was the southerners who passed
the prohibition laws and other re-
form legislation, yet we know there
is an amendment to the constitution
which intimately affects the southern
democrats, but which has never been
enforced. If North Carolina, for in
stance, had the protection of that
amendment it would come close to
winning the electoral vote Cor the re-
publicans in a national election.
Chairman Hays for the republicans IS
preceding along the right lines, ana
If he persists and perseveres the time
will come in the not distant future
when North Carolina and other south
ern states will show republican plur-
alities."

New England telephone strike. They
asked TO have him fired.
The governor of Massachusetts, ca
bled that the state government would
if allowed, settle the controversy
which Burleson had caused and would
not adjust.
In one of the southern states the
Federation of Labor had taken hand
by asking for removal of Burleson
from office.
When 10000 men employed by the
telephone company struck in sympa-
thy, Secretary Tumulty at the White
House at once got busy When a
strike vote began among 10000 cleo
trical brotherhood men all over the
country and returns We're coming in
for going on a strike. First Assistant
Postmaster General Rooms rushed
over to Boston and the girls were
victorious.
The operators of the five New Eng
land states returned to work, having
secured recognition for the telephone
union and increase of wages, Burle-
son had refused to permit the COM
pany manager to bargain collectively
with the operators. He was not
afraid of mere girls.
In all probability Burleson viii be
the goat before the next political
campaign, and all troubles charged to
him in an effort to excuse the real
party leader. President Wilson au-
thorized seizure of the wire lines and
could release these utilities any day.
There is no such complication as
exists with regard to the railways, AS
to the latter, a huge debt must be pro-
vided for and regulations arranged by
congress, The railway companies do
not desire properties returned until
adjustment has been made.
The Postal telegraph asks for i'm
mediate return of its lines and would
cancel increased rates ordered by
Burleson, The Western Union is no
infant industry and needs no coddling
1t could surrender the nice. guarantee,
manage its own business and prosper
under the old rates, as it did before
Burleson became manager.

HOT SUMMER PREDICTED.
Boston Transcript.


Evidently we are in for fierce old
summer The Burlington Free Press
has dug UP an old copy of the Boston
Journal, issued in the early autumn
Of 1870, which reviews the eXtraor-
binary weather of the winter of 1863
70 and the summer of 1870. 1t seems
that the winter was extraordinarily
mild. in lust about the same way that
this winter has been. There was no
frost in the ground until the last week
in January. and not much then. June
in January" people called it. The
pussy willows We're out in the first
week in February. A farmer in
Raynham left his potatoes in the
ground all winter, and dug them un-
injured in the spring, like parsnips.
Violets blossomed all winter. Farm
ers near Boston''-they had them in
1S70-finished their spring blowing in
March. There was no reaction of the
cold weather--no killing spring frost.
And what happened then? People
said that the cold winter preceding
the terribly cold summer of 1916,
when there was no crop except hay,
was exceptionally mild. and predicted
a cold summer in payment for the
warm winter. Nothing of the kind
u
summer of 1870 was the hottest that
had been recorded for 10S years. The
Journals account of that summer,
just after it was ended. is enough to
make one dream of the Internal re-
gions. Here is an extract
1.-THE hemispheres on both sides the
! Atlantic groaned beneath the rays of
n sun that seemed to be seven times
heated. The mercury had in June,
for many successive days gone up
above 100 degrees. But now in July,
| and the first half of August, it APP
| peared as If the south winds blew
from a land of fire. Roads became
dust heaps. Mills stopped all over
New England for want of the needed
water. If thunderstorms came they
| failed to cool. the fevered air. All
fruits ripened early. and as natural
consequence there is much complaint
of an early decay The first week In
July the mercury exposed to the sun
ran up 119 degrees On Sunday, July
II. it rose in the sun to 1923 degrees
fahrenheit. Hundreds of horses and
men went down before the heat,
struck dead as with the blast of 81
moon.
ITO the end of July and on to the
middle of August the weather all
over the north was such as usually ex-
perienced in the hot season in Bur-
nah. August 9 the mercury at Mill
waukee was 100 degrees in the shade
and $50 degrees in the sun, while the
