AT AUGUSTA

Augusta followers Of the Open
Forum meetings. held each Sunday
pveuing In the Universalist church
under the auspices of the Augusta
associates, were stirred last evening
by the masterful oratory OF DR..
Elias Captain Of Portland, who, with
the exception of Justice Brandeis OF
the United States Supreme Court, is
considered as the foremost represen-
tative Of the Jewish people in Amer
lea.

ject 1.-THE Swing Of the Pendulum,
gave an absorbing. straight-to-the-
point address on Bolshevism; Its

manner that left no question Of doubt
in the minds Of the listeners.
DR.. Captain is q recognized author
ity on Russian questions and has for
years studied the political and econo
mic questions of the Slavic countries.
He spoke almost wholly on Russia
and its former conditions under the
rule Of the Gear and OF its present
condition under the rule Of Bolshev-
Ism. He analysed the population
with strict regard for the social.
racial and political subdivisions es-
pecially the peasants and the middle
classes. How Bolshevism, playing
upon the sympathies Of a race Of
people who have been oppressed for
centuries gained innumerable follow
ers throughout the nation. and what
Bolshevism is doing for Russia and
the cure for it, finally telling of the
future Of Russia and the reasons
why America should be interested iE
its welfare.
The meeting. which was largely at
tended. was presided over by Hon.
Willis E. Swift. who spoke on the
merits of the speaker and his sub
ject. The hymn America" as is the
custom at these meetings, was sung
at the opening Of the session by the
audience. The presiding officer them
briefly addressed the speaker of the
evening.
At the end Of the address a ques-
ton period was announced. during
which large number Of questions

DR.. CAPTAIN BARES B0LShEvISm
CARD|NER-AUCuSTA F0RUMITES
STIRRED BY JEWISH AUTHORITY
AT GARDINER

The largest audience Of the season
gathered Sunday afternoon at the
Omen Forum to hear DR.. Elias Cap
Ian of Portland speak on "The Swing
Of the Pendulum" DR.. Caplan has
spoken twice before in this city. both
times to a large audience. but that Of
Sunday was the largest and most ap-
preciative.
Prayer was offered by Rev. M. G.
Folsom, after which Chorister Guild
had the audience join in singing two
HYMNS, He announced that next
Sunday there would be special mu-
sic.
After the address, which was
warmly applauded, opportunity for
questions was given. DR.. Captain an
nounced that the question period was
to him the best part of the meeting
and he hoped that many would be
asked. He had his wish granted at
once and more questions were asked
him than have been asked at all the
previous meetings this season.
Asked whether the average Rus
slams understood Bolshevism, he re-
piled that they did not, and asked
how they could when some of them
were still praying for the Car. not
having heard that he was dead.
Asked regarding the spread Of Boz
shevism, he stated that it had spread
there and that whever there was dis
content there was fertile ground for
it. The question was asked if pre-
vious to the war there was not some
degree of self government in some
Of the Russian villages. He said that
there was and in this fact lay the
chief hope of Russia. Another ground
for hope was the fact that the Boil
shevists were offering education TO
the masses In reply as to whether
Bolshevism in this country was the
real thing, he replied that the real
thing was here and was typified ny
the Red radicals while the near imi-
tation was shown by the 1. w. WIS
Of America. He was asked whether
the Bolshevists of Russia had any
financial policy. He said that they
had a wonderful one and it was as
follows: They had robbed the i'm
perial treasury, they We're robbinS
everybody that had anything and
they were printing money by the car
loads. Asked as to the attitude of
the Bolshevists in Russia toward the
Russian church. he said that they
had no use for the church: they con-
sidered religion bad for Bolshevism.

There these men talked to. Nelson w.
BARLEY concerning several matters. AT
that time according to the man who re-
lates the story, BARLEY was IN the oest
Of spirits. There was nothing in MS
manner to indicate perturbation, worry
or any kind of trouble.
They had reached point about ~
miles south Of Jackman. 1t was about
O'Clock and growing dusk. AS they
went along they saw man in the road
ahead, wildly waving his hands as a
signal for them to stop.
I'VE thought" says the relator OF
the incident, "that it was one Of Sher-
if Mooer's deputies on the lookout
for rum-runners. Not having any
rum, we stopped without further no.
tice, although the man kept on ges-
ticulating until we reached him and
the machine came to a standstill."'
UponNbringing the car to a stop and
getting out they found that the man
who had signalled them was very
young and that he wore Canadian
uniform. His story was. that he had
been driving his automobile and gone
to sleep at the wheel, the machine
had wobbled, veered from the road
and run in among the trees at the
roadside. before coming to stop.
Investigation by the party showed
Buick roadster we'll in from the
road and up against a tree, which
had brought it to a standstill. Ev-
cry member Of the party, says this
man, marvelled how tine car ever
could have gotten there. mo man
ever could have steered 1t to that
position without wrecking the ma
chine" declares the teller Of the
story. But the machine was practical
ly uninjured. They maed tow line
fast to it and dragged it back to
the highway.
An examination Of the road show
ed that for distance Of nearly 1000
yards the machine had been webbing
about over the road. At the pu.,is
where the car left the road there
was a bank on one side over which
a car swerving in that way. would
have plunged, carrying the occupants
Of the cad to almost certain death
and the machine to destruction. At
the other side was the woods and
it was into these that the car plung-
ed.
Answering questions put to him
by those who were helping him out,
the young man said that he had
left New York the morning before
and except to eat and take gasoline
he had driven steadily up to the
time of the accident. He said that
he was in a hurry to get to Canada.
In no way did he indicate the rea-
son for his hurry. Questions asked
with an idea of bringing information
on that line were ignored.
He also said that he had served
in the Canadian flying corps.
When one of those in the party
suggested that it would be advisable
for him to get some rest before
driving much further, as the next
time he fell asleep at the wheel he
might not be so fortunate, he asked
where there was a good place to
stay. He was told that the Parlin
Pond camps were the nearest place.
So far as known he did not go to
those camps that night.
Because of his great hurry to get
to Canada coupled with his feti-
cence as to the reason for this haste
and the fact that he easily could
have reached Sugar Berth woods in
Moose River plantation early that
night, the Portland men recall the
incident as one of more than passing
interest

The Permanent Chairman
 Of The Convention.

One of the highest honors in the gift of the Democratic party was bestowed upon Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas when he was made permanent chairman of the national convention at San Francisco. The Arkansan senator was the unanimous choice of the Committee on Permanent Organ. ization. It goes without saying that the people of the state he represents in the United States Senate are greatly gratified to see him thus honored.I
 Senator Robinson is looked up- on as one of the strong men of the Senate and one of the strong men of his party. He has dis tinguished himself by useful work at Washington and has stood steadfast for the policies and have commended themselves to the great majority of Democrats the county over. His selection as permanent chairman of the national convention was a de- served recognition of his public services and a testimonial to the esteem in which he is held among the representative Democrats of the nation.
