Hail Columbia!

Emma Goldman is homesick for the
United States, according to a letter
from her just made public by friend.
81 miss America" Emma says, and
she wants TO hear from the old home
town. 1t will be recalled that Miss
Goldman was one Of the reluctant
passengers on the "Soviet ark, which
recently carried a number Of her kind
back to that dear old Russia for which
they longed while they were yet with
US.
Now, Emma Goldman is homesick.
"Not a word has reached u.s." she
writes, "irom anyone in the United
States 50 far. You can imagine how we
feel about it.
OF course, we didn't know she would
feel that way about it. We had formed
the opinion, some way or other, from
so.ae OF her casual and constant re.
marks while here, that she didn't
think well of US. We are, therefore, at
loss TO "imagine" how size feels at
not hearing regularly from the old
folks at home. 1t is easier to imagine
Red Emma as being quite happy and
contented under the government OF her
old friends and schoomates, the soviet
1t was the kind she advocated during
her somewhat prolonged stay with us.
She simply would not be happy while
she was here.
There is an illumlnatiye object les
son IN the spectacle for others Of her
kind who are following the doctrines
she preached here, aside from the en-
enlargement in the situation for the
old-fashioned Americans, mentioned
above, who still hold The faith Of the
fathers.-Kansas City Star.

Eugene V. Debs is the Socialist can
didate for President for the fifth time,
Unless he is pardoned by President
Wilson he will not make many stump
speeches as he is a prisoner in the fed
eral penitentiary for violations of the
wartime espionage act. As the mar
tyr" candidate, however, the Socialist
windiammers may be expected to keep
his name and virtues before the public
The incendiary speeches turned loose
at the convention which nominated
Debs, and the selection as their presi-
dental candidate of one convicted Of
unpatriotic conduct during the war,
gives the measure of the Socialist party
and bars genuine Americans from any
participation in its activities.

We saw one of these diaries once.
Six months Of it were filled with two
entries repeated over and over; "Saw

the world that 1t was all faxed up
afterward to jolly along Moy.-Los

THURSDAY MAY 20, 1920

If Admiral Sims is not court-mar
tailed and retired from the navy in dis
grace he will be more lucky than de
serving. Secretary Daniels revelations
in the naval scandal created by the adj
miral's attacks on the navy's conduct
of the war show that Sims was very
much in need of the admonition
Don't let the British pull the WOO
over your eyes" In spite of that warn
ing they pulled the wool over his eyes
so successfully that American con,
gressmen who talked with him in Lon
don were convinced that he should be
on the British payroll instead of the
American navy. Indeed he was very
much peeyed because he was not per
mitted to accept an honorary post in
the British admiralty, and he lost no
opportunity to impress upon American
visitors the superiority of the British
naval establishment and accomplish
ments over those of his own country.
When the President sent him a cable
gram expressing surprise at the failure
of the British TO deal effectively with
the submarine menace in spite of their
naval superiority and seeking his adj
vice as to how the situation might be
dealt with by pursuing a holder course,
Sims replied with long cablegram of
generaities, consisting mostly of praise
for the British admiralty, which cxcit-
ed the Presidential disgust to a degree
which maryland should haye-re-
suited in Sims recall
1t is apparent that the one big naval
mistake made by this country in the
war was in sending Sims to London
and permitting him to remain there
after an inkling of his unftncss for the
job reached his superiors, The only eff
feet Of Sims effort to besmirch the
American naval record in the great
war has been 70 reveal his total unfit
ness for the place he occupied. The
wonder is that with the handicap of
Sims the navy was able to make the
glorious record it did

A Farmer S Viewpoint

as farmer appreciate the space

But we all need the products Of the
soil. Shorter hours and higher wages in
industry has drawn away our farm

down our prices until we have reached
the parting OF the ways. No gentlemen $
agreements or a spirit OF chivalry

If the almost bloodess revolution in

both countries, II is said that General

and will make INSTRUMENTATION
friendship the cornerstone of his pol
icy.
In fairness to Carranza it may be
said that his administration saw much
improvement in internal conditions II
Mexico. Carranzas greatest mistake
was his arrogant attitude toward for

The outcome is a yindication, how

porations which have large investment,
in Mexico, we would have been al

WIN NAVY Blue

The blue color so prominent in the
uniforms of almost all marines is of
hOary origin. Vegetins, in his fifth
book on the military affairs of the Ro-
mans, traces the origin of this color
to the Yeneti, an ancient people dwell
ing near the coast Of Biscay and wen
versed in seamanship. 1t was custom
airy among them to paint their outgo-
ing ships as well as the masts and sails
with blue color; also their soldiers
and sailors wore blue uniforms. Ac-
cording to our author the Latin word
"Venetus," which was both the name
Of the color and that of the people,
points to les origin. From the Ven
Ell the custom was adopted by the Ro-
mans. Thus the son of Pompeius, af-
ter defeating Caesars fleet in a naval
battle, wore the navy blue, although
entitled to the purple. The Veneti
were subdued by Caesar after Sc
we're maritime war in So B. G.

The economy claim OF Republican
House Leader Mondell and others OF his
party in Congress has been completely
exploded by Representative Byrns, of
the Appropriations Committee. Mr..
Byrns' analy sis showed that the Repub-
lican claim Of having saved the Trea-
Aury millions upon millions OF dollars
was founded on nothing more than the
fact that actual appropriations were
below department estimates There
have been few Congresses that have
not cut department estimates way down
when the time came to make appropri-
ations, and il the Republican claim for
this Congress were well founded, then
the last Congress, in which the Demo
Gratis were in the majority, may claim
10 have saved the taxpayers more than
five and one half billion dollars, anC
the Democratic Congresses that have
sat during the two Wilson administers
tions may claim total saving Of more
than nine billions OF dollars,
But economy claims must be mea
sured by appropriations for ordinary
purposes, as carried In the big annual
supply bills, and for these purposes, al
most without exception the RepubH
cans have made increased appropria
tions this year.
AS everybody who has taken thu
trouble 10 analyze the Republican
claim knows, II is based on 'pape
saving" and is made with no othei
purpose than to try to fool the people
