Maurer Tells "Young Democracy
Press Is Menace to Liberty

James II. Maurer, president of the
State Federation of Labor, told mem
bers of 1.-THE Young Democracy" last
night that the press is the greatest
menace to liberty in this country. With
great emphasis he announced that the
newspapers of the United States are
controlled by the crowned heads of
Europe"
The fifty young men and women who
sat scattered about in the auditorium
of Grand Fraternity Hall, Sixteenth
and Arch streets, did not appear to be
surprised by the latter piece of infor-
nation, but applauded the statement.
The second greatest menace. con-
tinued Mr.. Maurer. are the moving pic
lures. Whether these are directed by
the crowned heads of Europe he cid not
disclose. but he asserted that. both the
papers and the movies" hand out in
the oppressors want it handed out.
Mr.. Maurer further stated that he
has recommended to the State Fedora
ton of Labor that the working forces
of Pennsylvania publish a paper of their
| own. This publication would not be
propaganda sheet" he said; it would
merely print the news from "the labor
angle" ...-..
Mr.. Maurer declared he welcomed any
revolutionary measures as long as they
were constructive in their results. The
people higher up must wake up" he
said, "or a radical change in the form
of government will result"
On June "a, the speaker announced,
conference of allied laboring interests,
representing 800, 900 organized Pennsyl-
vania working men, will convene in
| Harrisburg for the purpose of inaugur-
! ating a political labor movement.

apologetic cough and said:
II think your idea is a good one,
Mr.. Duke; we ought to have sales

any plan that will enable him to do
better than the district managers?"
"Yes, Mr.. Brainard, I have a plan

half a bad yarn in itself. Now that ]

whether or no it will convince anybody
else, it makes me feel more certain than
ever that more has been going on in that

Professional detectives are no doubt
very useful men at jobs they are ac-
customed to and when pitted against
the ordinary criminal. But these war
problems are quite new, and utterly diff
ferent even from the German secret
service Vaccinations in time OF peace.
And the men they are opposed to are
very extraordinary criminals indeed {;
they are a highly trained. scientific
force. as much a wing of the German
fighting forces as their air service or
their submarines.
What chance has a man who looks
like cattle dealer against these ex
perts, especially when he is only in

assumption that the few invaluable
facts given him are mostly works of

gives no more trouble for the rest of

will have been uncommon lucky, be-
cause he seems to me to have overlooked
or dismissed virtually everything signif
cant.
Take, for instance. the actual words
used by my oilskin friend. They most
distinctly implied that he was living
on shore. Take the incident Of the
blind, which may perhaps have been,
as John Whiteclett says, an every day
incident, but which certainly happened
in the house where the one man they

CAREFULLY Grandma Dixon loos-
" cned the moist earth around the
roots of her famous larkspur, shook
the particles of dirt from the trowel,
and, standing erect, touched the tender
shoots very lovingly with her fingers.
The larkspur meant more than tall
blue howers to her. It meant mem
cries OF the past; memories of the morn,
ing when a young soldier in a faded
blue uniform had found her rejoicing
over their first blossom. There had
been four weary years of war and this,
their first meeting, the larkspurs had
witnessed. Since that morning the
flower had occupied a pleace of honor
in her garden.
"Want any help, grandma?" asked a

and stood beside her.

"but whose coming through the gate?'
"Why, bless me! if it isn't Betty"

girl dressed in stylish suit and
a very becoming small hat. Come on
Dick, you know Betty. Why, you used
to play with her when she was tiny
girl You remember, she is the only

Nothing loath, Richard followed
Grandma Dixon down the garden patti
and was reintroduced to Betty. For 6
moment a pair of laughing blue eyes

his while they uttered few common
place remarks, and then Betty followed
