Good Evening!
EM DON " NALL Tnh
BY ROY X. MOULTON

A LITTLE SLICE O. LIFE
The other night
Some thoughtful burglars
Broke into the grocery store
And stole everything in sight.
1hey left the safe and the phone and
The account books and cheese case.
But otherwise the store was as clean
AS though a Kansas cyclone
Had passed through it's midst.
1t was the first laugh
The people in that neighborhood
Had enjoyed since the war started
And the world was made safe for
Profteers.
The next night the neighbors
Got together on the common
In front of the wrecked grocery
And held a celebration,
Including a large bonfire
And speeches and music
BY the Silver Cornet Band.
The only drawback was
That the burglars were not present
10 receive the ovation
Which was all ready for them.
An invitation has been posted
Asking the burglars to return
In the near future
And visit the butcher shop.
The only cheerful thing we have
heard about the income tax is that it
can be paid in installments.

In their book, "The Plebiscite,'
Erckmann- Chatrain gave US not only
the tragic story of what happened in
Alsace and Lorraine in 1870 and 1871,
but warnings of the German designs
on the rest of the world. Before most
of us dreamed Of this awful war they
told the story of 4S years ago, and in
the telling pointed a certain finger to
the future. Only a year after the
Franco-Prussian war ended, after pic
turing freshly remembered German
brutalities, they said:
"Those who shall come after will
see worse things than this since men
are wolves, foxes, hawks, owls, all this
must come round again.
''Those Germans are the most per-

a party which "has so little to diff
ferentiate it from the Reds, who
would overthrow our government by
force" This feature is bound to lead
to the failure Of the party, IS it will

"The Detroit News" sums up this

difficulties of their position and should
have approached their problem with

believes the attack on the Senate to
be inspired by the fear of anti-strike
legislation, while the suggestion Of
electing Federal judges for short
terms is reply to the injunction.
But as for this last proposition:
"ls it possible to conceive of a
greater injury to all interests than
would inevitably fo low the throwing
of the judiciary int politics, and con-
demning it to frequent rough-and- tum-
BILE contests ? Would not justice in such
circumstances have tough time get
ting through Would not chaos be
substituted for order? What chance
would a man learned in the law, and
qualified by learning and temperament
TO interpret the law, have in such a
scramble against a shallowpate with
gift of shaking hands?
"Give us the initiative, referendum
and recall, demands the labor party.
Would not such a policy put premium
on agitation, making 10000 agitators
grow where but one agitator grows
now? Would not unrest and insta-
bllty become chronic-a veritable
order of the day? Would not condi-
tions become, and remain, so unsettled
that all interests would suffer?'
Bolshevistic elements are seen in

or three radical associations; that
is, it is trying to gather in any one
who cannot find home in the older
parties. "The Republic" also be-
lieves that it may have a good eff

older parties platforms. "The Utica
Press" also foresees some good re-
sulting from its effect on the pres
ent political situation, hoping that
it will "divide the sheep from the
goats" ''The' Press" says:
"The danger always is that both the
old parties try TO win the support of
all the dangerous elements simply as
a political eXpedient, and having &C
copied favors they can be rightfully
expected to give them. If the Reds
and radicals could be put into enc
camp and the loyal Americans into an
other it would be about the best thing
that could happen"
The platform has received much
more unfavorable comment, espe-
cially on account of the demand to
abolish the Senate, a proposition
disapproved even by the extreme
Democratic papers. 1t is called "a

cal means of accomplishing their
doctrines. For months the radicals
avoided Hartford and it was not un-
til the visit of Rose Pastor Stokes,
released on bond and facing q long
prison term for seditious utterances,
that the radicals began making their
temperance. The notorious Mrs.
Stokes gave her address under the
auspices Of the so-called Communist

radical Socialists. Several speakers
of minor Importance then visited the
city, attracting little attention.
"A month ago Elizabeth Gurley

nents of radicalism in America, slipped
