Reds Lose Ground d.


Oficlal advices reach the United
States government which lead 1t to
believe that bolshevism has shot
it's bolt as far as European organ
lied labor is concerned. This is
said to be the case particularly in
Great Britain and Italy. The bet
ter class of workingmen across the
Atlantic, as in the United States, Is
reported to have set its teeth firmly
and irrevocsbly against the demo-
cratic slavery" for which Lenine
and Trotsky stand. In France, too.
the situation is depicted to the
American authorities as increasing
ly satisfactory. The scandinavian
peninsula is thought to be abso-
lutely bolshevistproof.

Europe pronunciamentos revealing

sponse to the Colby note will take
plies from governments. To date,
though the United States declara-
tion was made two weeks ago, only
France has returned specific
answer. The British and Italian
governments are still silent as the
grave. There have been private
and informal assurances from those

Baker Boosts "Cartridge SILK"
Newton D. Baker, Secretary of
War, is doing his best to popular
ize a new and inexpensive fashion
in dress goods for men and women
Cartridge silk" is the stuff In
question. Mr.. Baker bought il not
long ago at sl.00 a yard from the
army stores, had his tailor make
him a business suit out of IL, and
found it so satisfactory that Mrs
Baker decided to order a dress of
the same material. Cartridge silk"
Is described as embodying cheap
ness, stylishness and durability.
Finds Austrians Starving.
An American fnancier recently
returned from Vienna found that
even the noblest scions of the Aus
trian aristocracy are under-nour-
! ished to the point of semi-starva-
tion. He had business dealings
with prince of ambsssadorial rank
and invited him to dine one nigh,
at the famous Hotel Bristol The
prince, his host says, ''ate as IL hi
hadn't had square meal for
years" On a second occasion, the
prince arrived with an. equally for.
| midable appetite. and the American
came to the conclusion that it would
be an act of charity to have him
at the hotel a third time. He wa.
eager to come and once again de-
veloped an astonishing capacity fol
food.

Browsing Round in
Politics
By LABERT ST. CLAIR.

Z J. Frank Hanly, former governor
Of Indiana, who recently was killed
In an automobile accident, came very
near being United States Senator
from Indiana at one time. He once
told me that he could have had the
place II he would have agreed TO
permit a certain politician Of
national repute aid him in handling
the patronage.
when the time came to select a
Senator" Hanly said, I had more
votes than any other candidate and
ii seemed that l was destined to
win, although / did not have enough
votes to elect me. One man, who
once had held a cabinet position,
however did control enough votes
which, il added to mine, would have
made me the nominee. Word was
sent to me through an old friend
| that II I would agree TO permit this
nationally known politician TO
! handle certain national patronage
! for the State. could go to the SEN
ate. l refused to enter into such a
deal. although some of my Oldest
! friends urged me 10 agree to it, and
! was defeated"
In his early days Hanly dug
| bitches in Western Indiana and il
was there, too, in a small burg, that
he made his first political speech,
! substituting one night for a man
! who did not show up. Since his
| death it has developed that within
recent years. he went back to this
little country town and tried TO
buy the weekly paper there.
Allen Congratulated.
General satisfaction is being
voiced in Republican circles over the
denomination of Henry Allen by the
q. O. z. for governor of Kansas. IL
i. generally conceded that Allen will
be reelected, and his party friends
think that is what he has coming Ia
him after the rather shady deal he
was given in Chicago anent the Vice
Presidential nomination.
Bill White, who was Henry's po'
litical manager, probably is the only
man who can tell the whole story OF
how Henry was hurdled. and he will
not do it. But some of the details
have leaked out. Bill never was foI
Harding, and 1t is doubtful If he is
very strong for him now, but he was
strong for Henry. Word was passed
around. however. that Henry coulc
have the Vice Presidential nomina'
tion If the Kansas crowd would &c
for Harding> Soon thereafter all OF
them except Bill went over. He told
them when they harassed him toe
hard that the rest of the crowd
could do what it pleased, but he di6
not think he would throw up his hal
for Harding.
Anyhow, with the general under
standing that Henry would get sec
end place. the Kansas crowd vOtec
for Harding. Then Coolidge wa;
nominated and put across. Mean
time Bill White stood in the aisle
shaking off various members of thu
delegation and emitting zip onct
in a while about the whole business
why wasn't Allen named?" q
friend asked White.
We'll, sir" White replied, the!
told us they didn't want him!
