Round Up the Parlor Reds!

A report comes that government
agents are now busily investigating
the activities of those who are cur
rently known as "parlor bolsheviki,"
theorists, faddists, followers of strange
social doctrines, academic advocates of
social revolution. They form the bulk
of the membership of societies de-
voted to the "study" of problems. They
deliver themselves of speeches and
they write articles for the "proletariat
press They argue about the suffer
ings of the "downtrod" and the sins of
capitalism. They point to the glori-
Gus future state of equality and de-
plore the slow methods of evolution
toward the emancipation of the work
ers.
Consciously or not, these amateur
revolutionists are sewers of the seed
of anarchism. They infame the minds
of the discontinued. They furnish
nucleus for the seditious work of the
active agents of revolt and destruc-
ton. They are recruiting agents for
the army of terrorism. STEPPED in
theories of communal government and
equal ownership and syndicalism, they
are capable of making plausible to the
uneasy minds of the disaffected the
arguments for change by radical meth
DDS. From their diatribes to the max
ing of bombs is but short step.
These 'parlor bolsheviki" do not
make bombs themselves. Far, far from
such horrid work! They do not even
suggest bombs. They deplore bombs,
especially when one has been ex-
ploded. They abhor violence. They
denounce ineendiarism-in public.
They even accuse the police of plant
ing the bombs when explosions occur.
They are doing SO now, in New York,
where the officials of large socialist
organization are accusing the govern
ment agents Of firing the murderous
machines that wrecked houses in eight
cities and took innocent lives-and
one not innocent.
Now these advocates of exotic po-
litical schemes are to be winnowed by
government agents, to ascertain
whether any of them are guilty of ac-
tually promoting the outrages of Mon
day night. They are to be sounded
upon their beliefs and connections.
They will doubtless all profess the
greatest possible love Of country and
the utmost horror Of the incendiaries
who sought the lives Of public men
and capitalists early this week. They
will perhaps denounce the attention
paid to them as unwarranted and an
intrusion upon their privacy and their
rights Of free thinking. Some will
perhaps be defiant and will argue that
they have a constitutional guarantee
of liberty of speech. But none of them
will justify bombmaking. Oh, mol
Between them and the criminals who
stink about in the dark with internal
machines there cannot possibly be the
slightest connection.
This dragnet procedure will be help
full. 1t will bring many amateur
propagandists Of revolution to their
senses. 1t will demonstrate that they
have been playing with fire and are in
danger of being burned. 1t may drive
some of them into the ranks of the
actively seditious, where they belong.
And it should put an end to at least
the open meetings Of the parlor plot
tiers, who, if they have not directly
promoted these crimes, are at least
contributory to them by their preach
ings and printings.

President of Costa Rica Leaves as
 Brother is Slain

Washington, Aug. 13.-President Tinoco has left Costa Rica. This re- port reached the State Department today but details have not yet been received.
 Information that Tinoco had asked permission of congress to leave the country was received here some time ago, but it never has been made clear whether he intended flight or planned to be absent only short time.
 There also was no indication wheth- CT the president quit the country be- fore his brother, Joaquin Tinoco, vice-president of the republic, was assassinated on August 10.
 Departure of the president and the killing of his brother led state de- partment officials to hope that the re- public would set up a government which the United States could retog- nize.
 Tinoco seized the reins of govern ment through a revolution and his regime never was recognized by the United States.

James Gould Oil Company Expects
 We'll by Sept. l

Drilling on the holdings, in the Burkburnett field, of the James Gould Oil company, composed of Pine Bluff people, was started August 8, and so confident of striking oil in paying quantities is the driller, D. c. Boyd, that four 5O0-barrel tanks have been erected, to take care of the product ion, until connection can be made with the pipe lines. This information was containing in letter Judge Gould found awaiting him upon his return to the city yesterday. The letter was from D. c. Boyd, driller, and reads .3,ft
 q take pleasure in advising you that we have both derricks up, we will start to active drilling today. We have taken the precaution to put in two five hundred barrel tanks, and will have two more built next week. This will give us two thousand bar rels tankage, and take care of the first flushing of the wells until can connect up with the tank line. So you can see how certain we feel about bringing in big production.
 ''I will wire you when to come down>to see the big show, when the well comes in, which should be not later than the first"

5O,0O0 Autos in
 State This Year

( Little. Rock, Aug. 13.- -Automobiles in Arkansas will not be so numerous this year as anticipated by the State Highway department, though enough license will probably be issued to use up the 50,OO0 tags ordered by the de- partment. To date 46,587 license have been issued, against 39,752 for a similar date in 1918, and Al ,459 for the entire year of 1918. According to the showing made in the last of 1918, only about 2,000 more license will be issued this year, but last year at this time it was almost impossible to se- cure machines, and now the manufac- turers are just getting back to some thing like pre-war production. This may cause demand for cars, but Commissioner Owens does not expect to see more than 5O,000 tags issued this year.
 An effort will be made in the next legislative session to make change in the law covering dealers license. many who are not legitimate dealers have secured these, and it is figured that the state has been defrauded out of much revenue thereby.

 Questioned as to the proable date of the government crisis, the under secretary replied:
 "It may occur any time between now and November 15. The govern ment has called all absent deputies to Madrid"

Organize Arkansas
 Auto Association

Little Rock, Aug. 13.-The Arkan- sas Automobile association, with A. c. Remmel as president, was organized in Little Rock Tuesday afternoon. Under the plan of organization, ten men in each county of the state will be asked to take out charter, and then organize the county, and all county associations will be affiliated with state and national associations. The association has two objects-to prevent theft of cars and to secure the enactment of legislation protecting automobile owners.
 Judge w. w. Wade of Puluski cir cult court, Municipal Judge Harry C.. Hale, Chief of Police Burl Rotenberry, and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Abner McGehee addressed the meet ing, giving their ideas of what laws ane necessary to properly portect the propert of Arkansas owners. They will prepare these proposed laws before the next session of the legislature and the state organization will fight them through.
 The newly created organization went on record as opposing any par dcns for men convicted of automobile theft. and Gov. c. H. Brcugh will be asked to grant no pardons GO per- sons convicted of automobile theft without giving the association a chance to be heard on the subject. This he has consented to do, for Gov. Brough has been victim of auto mobile thieves and has no praise for them.

Says Asquith, in
 1917, Launched a
 Feeler for Peace

Berlin, Aug. 13.-H. H. Asquith, who retired as British premier m 1916, launched a peace feeler" Tn August 1917, according to letter written by Frau Friedo Perlen, presl- dent of the Stuttgart branch of the International Woman's League for Peace and Freedom to the Freiheit. She quotes letter she received at that time from Jonkheer J. O. Jonk Van Beeken Donk, secretary of the Dutch anti-militarist league in which he informed her that MT. Asquith had asked him to put the direct question to the German chancellor, saying that a "good answer would be of tremendous importance
 The letter to Frau Perlen said 1t was thought that Mir. Asquith was ready for an understanding If the reichstag should demonstrate 1t ruled the situation and really possessed power in Germany. This point, 1t was said, would be carried ii the ma jority of the reichstag should suc- ceed in bringing about an unequivo- cal official statement regarding Bel gium. The letter begged her to do her utmost to induce the ,relchstag to issue such a statement.
 Van Beeken said that the declara- tion of Dr. Georg Michaelis, then German imperial chancellor, relative to safeguarding boundaries had, as he conceived it, created an unfavor- able impression abroad and declared that he wanted to establish whether the reichstag would not make clear the German stand regarding Belgium. Frau Perlen states she took the letter to members of the reichstag who promised to present the matter be- fore committees, but she adds:
 "The leading men of the reichstag parties were so weak against the government military dictatorship they were guilty of collapse"

Reports Gratifying.

The sessions yesterday were devoted almost entirely to hearing reports from departments of this jurisdiction and from other jurisdictions. All were gratifying, as showing continued growth and increase of Masonic in- fluence. The report for Arkansas showed 400 lodges with combined membership of 25,000, more than A. 900 being taken into the fraternity the past year.
 The report of Prof. s. T. Boyd of Prescott, secretary-treasurer of the M. B. A; department, { pa showed collec- tions of $6,172.
 Addresses were delivered yesterday by Dr. A. w. Edwards of Cleburne Texas, high priest of the Prince Hall chapter, R. A. M. of Texas, and Rev J. H. Clayborn of Philadelphia.
 Grand Masters Address.
 The report of the grand master Prof. J. H. Harrison, has been de clared one of the best ever heard containing information and advice ot value. He pointed out that the grand jurisdiction is in better condition than ever. and that the individual mem bers are prospering, men "who have never owned homes are buying farms town homes or city property" he said. sThere is nothing to mar our success other than few chronic kickers and office seekers"
 The report showed that the print ing plant has been operated without cost to the grand lodge, though it has not returned profit, but this was not to be expected, in view of the high cost of materials, he said. How ever, the circulation of the monitor has increased, and this publication has had good effect on the membership
 The grand master called attention to instructions of the state commits, sioner of insurance that no payments be made on temple bonds until the grand lodge gives authorization te the board of trustees.
 Relative to property of the granc lodge, the grand master said that by accepting of his suggestion to i'm prove the property it had been con verted from producing property to dividend-paying investment. "The rents have taken care of every note and the buildings are now almost out of debt," he said. He suggested building on a lot 60 feet by 75 feet in the rear of stores now owned by the lodge, and it was considered prob able that the advice would be accept ed.
