Mnpunity of BolsheDisn,
rFrom the New York Timesl

lFTOn Une new i OTh llllSoI
In this city and number of
others on Friday and Saturday
nights agents of the Federal Gov
ernment, assisted by the police, in
vaded certain centers of revolution
ary propaganda. Some hundreds of
persons were arrested. The second
anniversary of the Bolshevist revo-
luton lin Russia was thus remem-
bered. Long accounts of the vigiA
lance and vigor of the officials were
printed in the newspapers. Rightly
or wrongly, the public is becoming
cynical, suspicious of all these spo-
radio incursions of the Federal au-
thorities into BolsheYikia. Is the
public.to be contented with ''the in
ference that it is the Governments
purpose to deport as many of those
taken as can be proved to be Grim
inal anarchists"
Always there is talk about future
deportations. 1t hasn't been noticed
that any great amount of ship room
| has yet been required for the actu-
ally deported. THE inference"
about the Governments intentions
| in last weeks raids" is drawn from
the fact that the warrants upon
which 149 persons were. held were
signed by the United States Com
missioner of immigration. OF those
149 deportables, how many will be
deported? And what proportion
are the caught to the uncaught? On
October 16 a Federal official at
Washington told The Times CORES
pondent that "he estimated that
there were at least $4,000 aliens in
the United States who were openly
or secretly working for Bolshevist
form of government for this
country"
Even when one of these undesir-
ables is convicted in the courts. he
or she seems able to roam at liberty,
on bail, or stay, making incendiary
speeches. The evidence of far
reaching Bolshevist- activ-
ity has been spread before the
country for months. Something is
always going to be done about it,
Not much has been done about it.

Why They Did 1t
by Stoddard King.] ]

"The gallant men of our forces
have accepted my statements as the
of their own thought and
purpose. President Wilson.
Joe Jimsonweed, corporal from
out in Kankakee,
Went forth to meet a German squad
and chased them up tree,
And as he did so, loud he cried
above the battles roar:
"Hurrah for our dear President, and
Peace Point No. A."
Pat Murphy of the horse marines, a
leatherneck of old,
Met up one day with seven Huns and
laid the muckers cold,
And murmured as he put an end to
all their evil tricks:
my only motive was my love for
Peace Point No. g."
Upon the battlefield was found right
at the point of death,
A gallant lad who said these words
with scant and failing breath:
"'Tis sad to think that in this War
1 should have met my fate;
But never mind, I've done my bit for
Peace Point No. g."
oh, many times in bloodstained
France the standersby could
hear.
Our Yankees charge into the fray
with this resounding cheer:
"Hussah, hussah Well win the
day and never shall we cease
Till we have forced upon the foe oui
fourteen points of peace"

When Poets Mia in Politics
I From ILLUSTRATION, Parisl


Certainly there are points that
ought to be considered in this zeal
of poet and novelist (d'Annunzio)
state. 1t is obvious that govern
ments would be very much embar-
rassed if all artists were to follow
the example of Gabrielle d'AnnunZio
and take it into their heads to regu-
late the most delicate military and
diplomatic problems. To-day, doubt
less, Italian ministers are realizing
that Plato was not wrong in refusing
to poets the right to mix in the af-
fairs of the republic.
But the case of d'AnnunZio is eX-
ceptional. 1t is the adventurous sol
dier, the mntilated aviator, the en-
famed patriot, much more than the
subtle author of the "Martyre de
saint Sebastien" whom the Fiume
grenadiers have followed. If the
glory of this intellectual, who does
not make war in slippers, were pure
ly literary his appeal would not
have aroused the warriors. That is
why this foolish demonstration of
| irridentism has provoked among us
only rather indulgent brand of CEN
sure. The enfant terrible has been
scolded with gentleness.
Franco is not an migrate. She has
not forgotten the generous artist
whose earnest adjurations in her be-
half brought the sword of Italy
flashing from its scabbard. For the
second. time we are present at u tri-
umph of lyricism. And to-day we
can hardly remain insensible to
words which transform themselves
| into action, to voice which be-
comes living flesh. The imprudent
prank of d'Annunzio preserves the
| nobility of an ideal called to life by
| the Tyre of Amphion. And we must
reflect an instant to appreciate how
| inconvenient such miracles are tt
! statesmen who are trying to decide
! what moves to make.
, While we have the deepest com
| passion for the veXed diplomatist!
, who certainly are perfectly right il
| defending the peace of the worlC
against the patriotic exaltation' o
one Latin, at the same time the ma
tional cooperation of poet shoulC
not be underestimated. Among oul
peoples poets keep the flickerini
fame of idealism alive. Plato wa
deficient in prudence in condemn
ing them to exile.

Education

tHeywood Broun in the New York
Tribune.]
When the managing editor gave
us the book reviewing job he said
that it would be an education for us.
In a sense he was correct, but look
ing back over the many books we
have read since we find it a little
difficult to arrange the various facts
which have swept past us. We re-
member much, but as yet it is largely
unrelated. 1t suggests no theory of
life to us, no plan of general culture,
no scheme of human conduct. Per-
haps if we outlined the things which
we have learned someone else can
help us to discover the interpreta-
ton:
History-"Mr. Mantell first played
Louis XII in st. Louis the night of
November 6, 1908"
Economics-"A girl may start at
about SIS O week in florists shop to
gain experience"
Etymology-"Th beetle feeds on
the leaves of 'solanaceous plants and
prefers the potato above all others
World Politics-'As never before
the Irish are united"
Mathemati icS-"Black, on the other
hand, as people still remember al
Nj Onte carlo, one uay came ul
twenty nine tines in succession and
the second dozen twenty-eight times
without break"
| Natural History-''Alcohol, even In
minute quantities, is Invariably fatal
| to guinea pigs"
Thalassography-'Waves are un'
dulations of the water surface, us
ually caused by winds and extend
ing down into the water sometimes

! most unattainable by any singer wht

The States ETecutiDe and
Food Costs
[From the Scranton Republican,

[From the Scranton Republican,
AS a result of the meeting of may
ors, burgesses and district attorneys,
held in Harrisburg last week, Gov
ernor Sproul is much pleased with
the spirit of cooperation revealed
and is hopeful that return to the
old habits of thrift and industry will
be effected. From chats that he had
with men who attended the confer
ence. the Governor says, he is con-
fident that they were deeply inn
pressed with what was said and
done at the gathering and that at
home they will take up the principal
problem of the day.
Unauestionably 1t will require a
general movement to restore the
normal conditions for which every
one yearns. but step in the right
direction is action against boarding
and profiteering which constitute
very grave evils.
There really has been no sugar
shortage yet the people have been
unable to get it and prices are ris-
ing. Various kinds of foodstu uffs are
plentiful yet that fact has not af-
fected prices. Even when some
! wholesale prices have dropped the
retail figures have remained the
same. s
There is nothing more certain
! than that there is no justification
| for the prices that the people are
compelled to pay, but how is the
wrong being done daily to be cor
rected? 1t must come through CO.
operation and through the influence
of public sentiment.

German Opera
1.-THE Americdn Legion weeklyl

1.-THE Americdn Legion Weekly
German opera in the German
language is not going to be profit
able enterprise in the United States
this year. The American Legion, in
sections where German opera has
been attempted, has elected to fight
this nuisance to the limit. Without
going into a lot of detail it might be
said simply that we do not like the
sound of the German ,gutturals. The
trouble with German opera in Ger
man is that our minds hear not the
theme so much as the shrieks of the
Lusitania's dying. Its measured
cadences picture not tender human
emotions but "a firing squad march
ing at the goose step upon defense
less women and children. II 1t con-
jures up sequestered sylvan glades.
we see lying thereon the moaning
victims of poison gas.
The last German opera In German
we heard or want to hear was the
Imperial German Swan song as
rendered by Herr Hohenzollern,
November IL. 1918.

Fundamental Principals
Scottish Rite
By BRIGGS

Mr.. McCumber. Mr.. President, in
these times of social upheaval and
unbridled radicalism, when old stand
ards of justice and right are dis
tinctly scattered to the winds, L
think the voice of any organized So
ciety calling out through the din of
frenzied clamor for sobriety and
sanity of both word and action is
most timely.
L therefore present and ask to
have read a resolution of the Su-
preme Council of the Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite of Free
masonry for the Southern Jurisdic-
ton of the United States of Amer
lea, which has lately been in ses-
sion in the city of Washington and
only closed it's labors yesterday.
The resolution is very short and 1
ask that it may be read by the Sec
retary.
The Presiding officer. Is there OBJ
lection? There being no objection,
the Secretary will read the resolu-
ton. sy
The Secretary read as follows:
Whereas the Great War has dis
turbed old conditions and relations
between men, and
Whereas the transition period is
fraught with danger to our coun-
try and it's institutions through
preeipitate judgment and i'll di-
gested remedial measures on the
part of the few but mostly through
the indifference and apathy OF
the many, and
Whereas fanatical visionaries and
! criminal intelligence with baser
| motives have seized this oppor-
tunity to promulgate their doc
trines of force and direct action
! regardless of right; now be 1t
"Resolved That the Supreme
! Court of the Ancient and Accepted
| Scottish Rite of Freemasonry foi
| the Southern Jurisdiction of the
J United States of America, assembled
| in biennial session, does now re-
affirm it's ancient doctrine and re-
peat it's belief in:
"The fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man; that justice
truth and equity should govern al
| human actions; and above all, the
need of organized government ant
constituted authority to express the
will of the people, for the people
and by the people, as distinguishes
| from all forms of anarchy and moi
rule;
THAT we commend in the high
est terms the efforts of the Presi
dent and the Congress of the United
States of America to maintain thu
! fundamental principles as pro
| claimed in the Constitution.
1T further calls on all it's sub
ordinate bodies to read this resolu
ton to their members and whel
next assembled and to pledge then
collectively and individually to th'
support of it's purpose to maintail
sane and reasoned judgment on al
public questions, that our libertie
and rights as Americans may be pre-
served and the freedom and dignit,
of our country be upheld"

American literature. unlike Ameri-
can popularity, appears to have
thrived in Germany during the past
five years, if the sale of "Over the

cal. This book. which did not sell
very largely in that country before
the war has increased its sale since
1918. reaching the highest point in
