Don't you worry about your Uncle Samuel
Just now he seems to be having troubles up
to his chin, but he has had troubles before.
Don't be uneasy.

night. THE Red Dawn" and it was sure red.
Even the trees were red. And the speeches
were redder 1t was all about the Coming
Revolution. The Red Leader in the show
was supposed to startle us with the fearsome
information that we are about to be gobbled
up by an Army composed of million ex-
lconvicts. three million wronged gents that
have lost their jobs because of prohibition,
and ten million Negroes. not to mention the
parlor Bolsheviks OF Greenwich Village. the
embattled farmers Of Dakota and the back
wash of Europe that settles in lower Man
haitian Island.
To which our only answer can be. "Turn
over. Mr.. Dixon. You are on your back"
I'll admit we have some perplexing prob
lens.
There can be no relief until we end the
war muddle and get to work.
The Labor Unions threaten and strike
But this country is not going to be governed
by Labor Unions. They have their place.
They have a right to organize and agitate
and quit work. But the kind of folks that
grow in the u. S. A. are not the kind that
will stand for the Soviet idea of govern
ment.

stockholders and bondholders will be pro-
tected. There will be no confiscation. We
may have Government Ownership, but it
will be because the people want to try it,
and vote for it, and not because any organi-
cation holds pistol to our head.
There will be no Negro revolution.

Manly believes such a con-
ference of labor and capital,
called by the president of the
United States, would end
present labor-capital differ
ences, and would make future
conflict between the two inn
possible. This would pave
the way to legitimate, honest
prosperity for labor and cap
ital. By the same token it
would produce prosperity for
all, for the public's interest
and welfare is closely woven
into that of labor and capital.
The Manly plan has been

The Poindexter resolution
should be adopted so that the
president may know where

Sir Upton Sends

NEW YORK. Oct. 6.-The an.
nouncement of the receipt of chal.
lenge for the Americas cup from the
Royal Ulster Yacht club of Belfast,
Ireland, was made today by Secretary
George A. Mccormack of the New
York Yacht club.
The challenge was forwarded in
behalf of Sir Thomas Upton, who
named Shamrock ". as the yacht to
be used in the races of 1920. No
answer has as yet been made by the
New York Yacht club, but a favorable
reply is generally expected.
Sir Thomas inaugurated his fourth
attempt to lift the Americas cup in
1913. With the beginning of the
world war the international yacht
race was abandoned.

Following an extensive examination
made by him on Sunday of the prin-
cipals and witnesses of the shooting
and stabbing affray in Lowell on Sat
urday afternoon, when Otto Laine,
deputy sheriff, shot Tony Rimac, a
Slavonian miner, while the latter was
sitting on the sidewalk, and also
struck several others, after Rimac
had slashed with pocket knife at a
number of his counrrymen in a pool
hall, R. N. French, district attorney,
filed a charge of assault with intent
to kill against Laine. The charge
was filed with Judge ]. L. Winters.
Lame, who had been released from
custody by Sheriff James Mcdonald,
was arrested under the new charge,
and later set at liberty under bond
of $4,000. His preliminary is set for
Friday, before Judge Winters in Low
ell.
All the men who were shot or
stabbed in the series of events which
led up to the placing of the charge
against the deputy sheriff were re-
ported yesterday as being out of dan
ger. Rimac, who was shot three times,
is thought to be recovering, although
one OF the bullets penetrated his right

the negroes crossed the track and

Troops are occupying the strategi-

The outbreak of the strike was
preceded by a demonstration of Por-

cred because 6S of their comrades
had been sent to trial. A group of
syndicalists marched to the prison
in which the arrested syndicalists
were confined, announcing that they
would take it by storm and shout
ing "long live anarchy" Troops,
however. dispersed the manifest
ants, of whom 119 were arrested.
The postponement of the inaug-
