AN IMMORTAL SONG

Has anyone heard the folk songs of any country without wishing to see something of the land which, perhaps, inspired them, and the natives to whom they are espe- |cially inspiring because they make articu> late the dumb deep emotions of the peo- ple'' toward their birthplace and it's famiI- jar scenes?
 When Foster wrote My Old Kentucky Home he gave to this state folk song which has had much to do with spread ing the fame of Kentucky. Millions who do not know the name Stephen Collins Foster" have a distinct impression of Kentucky life as result of familiarity with the most widely sung of the many
 pngs written by Foster:
 James Lane Allen, in his masteriy short stories and in several of his novels, has depicted admirably and attractively the life of section of Kentucky. He is read widely but Beyond doubt the drop of ink with which Foster wrote My Old Kentucky Home" has caused millions to think of Kentucky who never have glimpsed the state through the literature that is racy of the soil.
 The tremendous and enduring power Of simple words set to simple music is well illustrated in. the song which General Ni-> velle heard in Constantinople.
 Such illustrations make comprehensive the familiarly quoted preference for writ ing nation's songs as against making its laws. Assuredly no law made in France has been worth as much to France as The Marseillaise," an everlasting in- spiration to patriotism. and no single law maker has left to Kentucky a legacy so cherished as Fosters song.

THE HOBOEs ARE COMING

From the Tampa Tribune.
 This is going to be had winter for 8 lot of young fellows who have becn working at good wages, spending what they earned, and now find themselves out of work and out of money.
 Hundreds of them are due to drift through communities of all sizes and in all localities before spring comes. Organized charity takes cAre of a cer- tain number. It cannot reach all. When a man faces you, asks straightaway for the price of meal or of a bed. how will you answer him?
 For advice go to the king of tramps, William Davies, whose volume on his experiences is a veritable encyclopedia of hoboery. Davies has some simple rules. Here they are. in brief:
 .Ask some questions of your accos- ter. If his story hangs together we'll he is probably an imposter, ap old hand at the game.

Many ho- boes dress for the part. A man worth elping will beg soap and water at the first farm house--and get itr
 After the tramp has gone on. if you've given him something. don't reproach yourself. Perhaps 1t is against all the charity rules. but you'll have a little glow within that will remind you: "It is more blessed to give than to re- ceive.'"

French Government Still
 Looking for Trouble

T RANGE, who won the worlds U admiration by her heroism in the war, has assumed a new role. She is getting to be the. common scold of Europe. Ever since the armistice was signed, the nations associated with her in the war, particularly Great Britain, have labored to keep France in good humor and soothe her ruffled feelings. Her hostile attitude toward Germany and her demands that the future of France be safeguarded from aggres- sion have given European diplomats serious concern. On several occasions the tension between the British and French governments was alarming. Just lately France threatened to bolt the League of Nations if Germany were admitted without going through more extended period of probation.
 In keeping with the policies which have characterized the French gov- ernment since the World war ended, Premier Leyguez announced in the Chamber of Deputies Tuesday night that the government would warn Greece against the return of King Constantine. That monarch is charged with having shown marked and con- stant hostility toward the allies" and with having been an accomplice of their enemies. Greece is to be told that she will forfeit the friendship and cooperation of France if Con- stantine is permitted to resume his throne. The attitude of the British government is believed to be similar to that of France.
 The overwhelming defeat of Pre- mier Venizelos in the recent Greek election was partly due to the resent ment of the Greek people at the in- terference of the allied governments in Greece during the war. venizelos twas the spokesman of the allies and did their bidding.
 The result of the election clearly indicated that the Greeks would have

Bolsheviki Would Organize
 Soviets in United States

~ USSIA'S bolshevik leaders are M planning to take advantage of industrial unrest and unemployment in America. A dispatch from Wash ington says official advices have been received from Moscow that the soviet authorities estimate there will be 5 1000 ,000 idle workers in the United States by the end of this year. Two representatives of the Third Inter nationale, which is boldly seeking to bring about world revolution, have been sent here to organize soviets.
 The bolsheviki may exaggerate the number of men who will be out of employment, but they know full well that there is already an industrial reaction taking place in the United States, as the inevitable result of the war, and such conditions offer the opportunity they seek to make con- verts. A man out of job, particu- larly if he is the shift1ess, inefficient type of workman, will listen to the pernicious doctrine of bolshevism, 
 which ostensibly would place the pro- letariat in charge of industry, but is in reality a gigantic scheme to set up
 ar oligarchy, forcing it's will on the
 worker and the capitalist alike. Bolshevik propaganda is being car
 ried on in the United StaU3 now, and
 has been for several years, but large ly' under cover. By appealing to the
 radical elements and by trying to overthrow the conservative leadership of organized labor, it is hoped to cre- ate a powerful bolshevik sentiment in this country.
 Obviously it is the duty of the American government to keep a close watch on suspicious characters already here and to prevent, if possible, the
 soviet organizers from entering the United States. One of the require
 ments Great Britain has made of the
 soviet government, before it will agree
 to resume trade relations, is that it must not carry on propaganda in
 Great Britain's Asiatic territory. Great Britain fears the menace of bol- shevism, and has good reason to do so. America has refused to recognize the soviet government and should be equally firm in dealing with it's secret agents whose capacity for evil is unlimited.

 wishes without showing high-handed

 nations.

After the revolution the custom gradually extended to the middle states, and later to the west. and more slowly to the south; but since 1863 it's observance has been annually recom- mended by the President. Custom prescribes that the date shall be set by the special proclamation of the President, and adds that the date shah be the last Thursday in November. This would seem to stamp the feat with a sort of official character possessed by no other American holiday; but this is only apparent: for it Is not for the Federal government to tell the people quit business and take to pleasure. It only makes 1t a legal holiday In those states which provide for its legality by statute. and while generally ob- served is not legal holiday in, all of them. It is only recommendation on the part of the President that the peo- ple cease from their ordinary occupa- tions. and observe the day with proper ceremony.
