ANOTHER ENOCH ARDEN

A pathetic story comes from Yates
Center of a man who made lifelong
sacrifice for the woman he loved, with
a fidelity and self abnegation rarely
met with in real life. The mans name
is Leonard B. Blocker. He died at
Yates Center last week, leaving a
statement that he had wife and fam
lily living who supposed he had been
killed in the Cici1 war. As his wife
had married again he did not let her
know of his existence. Although he
was entitled to pension he never ap-
piled for one for fear it might reveal
his identity. When Blocker entered
the army he left his wife and children
in Michigan. After much hard ser
vice he was captured and confined for
18 months in Andersonville prison.
In order to escape punishment for an
effort to escape, BIeker exchanged
name and military designations with
dying comrade and he was reported
dead to the war department.. Bleeker's
wife being officially notified of his
death married again and when the
soldier returned at the close of the
war he found another man in his
home He left the neighborhood with
out making his identity known and
never returned.-Iola Register

REAL PEOPLE

That's what the doughboys called
the Salvation Army workers on the
battlefie1ds and back of the lines in
France.
They were real people to the sold
ier's because they were just like the
folks back home with hands accus-
toned to work and eyes always ready
to smile.
And now these same real people,
back from the war with new laurels,
have built their trenches in the streets
ofpoverty and distress in America.
They will wage the fight for the poor
and unfortunate at home, just as they
| have done for years, only larger
scale.
The Salvation Army conducts Res
cue Homes, Day Nurseries, Industrial
Homes, Homes for Helpless Ages
Fresh Air Farms, Free Clinics, etc.
It Is going to extend this service
| wherever misery and proverty exist
It must continue to reach down anc
lift up men, women and children whe

RADICALS CALL "A MEETING

Al call has been issued by a body
called seThe Committee of Forty
eight" for a meeting of Socialists,
.BoIshevists and other radicals to be
held in the near future The object of
the meeting is to try to crystalize the
radical movement of the United
States into a party or some sort of
political organization
Invitations to attend this meeting
have come to people in Kansas who
subscribed for the Nonpartisan Lead
er out of curiosity but were out of
sympathy with the Nonpartisan Lea
que Precisely the same spelling and
form was used in the address issued
by the Committee of Forty-Eight as
were used in the address as used by
the Nonpartisan Leader, and it is per-
fectly evident that Leader loaned the
use of its mailing list to the radicals
who are fomenting Socialism, discon-
tent and revolution.
This is only one of the many
proofs that the League is closely
identified with the radical Socialist
movement of the United States. And
yet you occasionally run across peo-
who claim the League has nothing tic
do with Socialism.
| The Appeal to Reason, which has
gone back to its old name and its ole
wild-eyed red tactics since the end Oh
| the war, is publishing long articles
praising the League and contains ad
vertisements for that organization
| This is just one more straw.
