SAYSRED FLAME HAD.
TO CHANGE CARTOON
STORY RELATED OF DESTRUC-
TION OF $4,000 COPIES OF 1. V.
A. MAGAZINE. -

The second and probably the last
number of the Red Flame," official
mouthpiece of Kositzky and other
turncoats, has a cartoon on its first
page showing on bill board a rep
resentation of Governor Frazier with
the legend: "Townley's Choice for
President" There is another bill
board in the picture which is per
fectly blank. Information has leak
ed out accounting for this somewhat
peculiar and useless waste Of space
and also for the fact that this edition
Of the RED Flame" was late in max
ing it's appearance.
Leaguers who saw former edi-
ton of this issue with this billboard
covered by a picture, relate the fol-
lowing story: Through a bad break
on the part of the "Red Flame" ar
fist the blank bill board originally
contained an advertisement OF well
known tire company, usually seen on
prominent corners along the high
ways. It appears that the s"Red
Flame" crowd imagined they were
doing something clever in behalf of
the tire company and expected some
kind Of gift from this company when
the latter discovered the amount Of
advertising it had received.
The effect, according to the inform
ants, was entirely different than had
been anticipated. The tire company
was highly indignant over this use
of it's name without its knowledge
and consent in a cartoon defaming
the governor and farmers of the state.
Instead of having the goodness Of
being tickled to death, it demanded
that the ad be eliminated from the
cartoon.
Thirty thousand copies of the "Red
Flame had been run off containing
the tire company ad. There was
nothing to do but chisel the type and
picture OF the tire from the offend
ing bill board and run 10000 more
copies of the Red Flame" at the
present tremendous price of paper
and other expenses.

ference as between the skull of a
man from Neonderthal and the skull
of Yale professor.
The little knob on the end Of the
spinal column, knowing nothing but
hunger and lust, expanded into the
magnificent brain of the modern man,
a brain that gives us eyes to see a
million suns, a brain that hears the
harmonies floating on silent space, a
brain that drives palaces through the
waves with fire and lightning Dor
rowed from the bowels of the earth
and the winds of the heavens.
Life speeds round and round in
spiral form and each returning life
is on higher plane. Men have new
er been as good and as wise as they
are now.
He who denies the evolution of man
and tools from the lower to the high
er form, or who goes as far as pro-
claiming that man has fallen from a
perfect state to a lower plane denies
the very facts of life.
If the story of man teaches one
lesson only, it is that, ut was not
always so, it will not be always thus. .
AS men are born and die and every
generation surpasses the preceding
one in knowledge, strength and beau
ty, SO human institutions and econ
Eomic system are only born to die. Men
on their roads to the grave, give life
to those who will bury them; SO dy-
ing economic systems bear within
themselves germs Of future life, and
they too, rear their own grave dig
gers.
It is a long ways from the hairy
cave man who with blood dripping
jaw sucked the marrow from the
bones Of slain man, to Thos. A.
Edison. A long and painful way lead
ing over a thousand generations into
slavery, feudalism and capitalism.
Tomorrow comes Socialism, and at
ter that we do not know-we do not
care. For we are the children of
tomorrow. In our vein courses THE
quickening blood of youth. The rose
red flush of health is upon our cheeks,
the flash of victory in our eyes. To-
morrow, tomorrow. will soon be today,
and we shall be the smiling heirs of
all that was and all that is.-By Oscar
Ameringer.

FROM CAVE man TO
TH0S. EDISON

In every community we find a
number of old sages whose intellec-
tual stock in trade consists in the
hoary old chestnut, ct always was
that way and always will be that
way" and yet if modern science and
the known history of our race teach
anything at all, then it is "that moth
ing is eternal but change and inter-
change" Today is the child Of yes
terday and the parents of tomorrow.
What was good enough for our faith
ers is not good enough for US, and
what we regard as the sublime height
of perfection will be thrown on the
scrap pile by our children.
The world moves ever onward and
upward.
Those who refuse to- move with it
are left behind Those who throw
themselves in the path of progress
are crushed to death. Life is motion
even death is life, it moves the bodies
of those who are no longer capable
of movement; it's function is to make
room for the living and to clear the
arena for the next generation.
We are told that the first man was
created in the image of God.asBut If
one of us could meet this gentleman
in the road we would take to our
heels or he would scamper up tree.
The first and last man would not
recognize each other as long lost
brother.
| have seen the skull of the oldest
known man found in cave in the
Neonderthal, Germany. Scientific
men estimate that he lived about one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
years before Moses. The skull Of
this man is mostly jaw and teeth with
little brain on one side, or properly
speaking, on top. In fact the length
of his teeth exceeded the height Of
his frontal bone. In a pie eating
contest with modern boys he would
undoubtedly carry off the first hon-
ors, but l doubt seriously that he
could master the multiplication table
or do a sum in algebra.
There is as much difference between
the skull Of this old German citizen
and the skull of a south sea eannibal
as there is between the skull Of the
cannibal and Yale professor.
l have seen the crude dug-out Of
Aborigines and I have travelled on the
ocean greyhound OF today: nave
listened to the beating of the tun1-
tum, and I have drunk insthe tone
poems Of Wagner and Beethoven. I
have looked upon the crude walls Of
cave decorated by savage who
lived during the ice period and /
have Toasted my eyes on the paintings
of Raphael and Rembrandt.
have seen the weapons of men
from the club, the stone axe, the flint
arrowhead, the cross bow and blum
derbus to the Krupp cannon that

inches of steel armor plate ten miles
away.

A. CHANGE OF FRONT

When these franchises became less
profitable to the utility companies,
however, they Immediately began to
claim that the principle of fair deal
and fair profit should take the place
of strict observance of contract
terms. The success which this
claim has had elsewhere would APP
pear to show that contract or fran
chise is worth nothing to the public
because it can be enforced only
against the public.
Many companies rates have been
increased to Z cents or even 10 cents
instead of Z cents, and the companies
have lost SO much from declining pat
ronage that they are in worse posi-
ton than before. The street railway
of the Twin Cities failed to break
it's franchise but has been allowed to
fall down on the quality of service.
In fact, not only reformers but rep
resentatives Of utility companies are
generally advocating public owner
ship of street railways. The traction
magnates believe that the quicker
they can unload on the public the bet
ter the terms they will receive. In
Seattle the whole system has been
taken over by the city and it is al
legged that the company got a hand
some bargain while Ole Hanson was
saving that city from imaginary re-
volution.
The next move of the Twin Cities
traction interests must be to try to
jam something through the state
legislature which it can not force on
the people locally. This fact will
strengthen the alliance between the
, Nonpartisan league farmers and
workers of the Twin Cities for the
next state campaign. The opposition
to the farmers and workers, if sue
cessful, is certain to give utility in
terests what they want.
The present victory is. more note
worthy because the utility company
had the support of all the city press.

FOR OPENING CONTEST
Harlan Will Cross Bats Saturday
With Elkton Club of
Del-Mar League.

Reports from Elkton, Harlan's oppon-
ent in the opening game OF the Del-Nlar
League this coming Saturday. have eaus-
ed Manager Wagner to ''specd-up the
grooming of the shiphwlders for the
initial encounter on the local meadow.
The shipworkers' first defense will dn-
doubtedly be composed of doc i)olan,
first: "Rils" Smith, second; Jimmy May
hart. short, and Norman Wingate, thTd.
Bunting will be first string catcher from
the advance dope.
Hughes and McGonigle viii give the
shipmen a good right and left hand
moundsman. Wagner, and couple OF
gardeners vet TO be named, viii act as ny
herders, rounding out better balanced
team than last years ship league com
bination.
Little can be learned of Elkton S
strength, but the Marylanders are out Tor
the first rung honors and have been re-
cruiting some talent from Baltimore to
realize on their ambitious aims. Eikton
is especially desirous OF humbhng WI
mington and Newark few times before
the final curtain is rung down.
Despite the frenzied weather, Harlan IS
in better than fair shape for the opener.
The postponement of the inaugural was a
good thing for the fans, for they un-
Guestionably will see a snappier article OF
the national diversion this weekend, than
if the alliance had gotten under way last
Saturday.
Harlan's crack apprentice band, under
the leadership of Clarence Cox, viii serve
harmony throughout the entangling with
Elkton. The young musicians are causing
very favorable comment wherever they
display their tuneful wares and Whining
ton baseball followers are in for double
treat at reduced gate tariff, 2S cents and
40 cents, including war tax.
