JOHN REED SLAIN BY FINNs

A special to the Chicago American
says that John Reed, the American
journalist, magazine writer and radi-
cal, who was an active propaganda
for the soviet government in Russia,
and who is under Indictment at Chica-
go for red activities, was shot and
killed by the Firms, while trying to
make his way across Finland in dash
for America.
This information, according to Hen
ry Berger, special counsel for the
states attorneys office in its prosecsl-
tin Of the red cases has reached
Chicago from confidential and
secret source"
The information states further that
Reed, captured while acting as a
courier for the Russian soviet, car
rfed money, diamonds and secret doc
uments when captured and killed by
the Finns
Just after Mr.. Bryan left the cabinet
as secretary of state he visited Flor
ida and Mr.. Reed was deputized by
Golfers Magazine to follow Mr.. Bryan
to Florida and furnish Golfers with
a story of his quittig the cabinet and
other incidentals.
Mr. Reed followed Mr.. Bryan up the
Ocklawaha to Silver Springs and
Ocala.
The editor Of the Banner happened
tc be a passenger on the little boat
at the same time and heard Mr.. Reed
tell his thrilling experiences, his cap.
ture and escapes, in Mexico and in
Russia. but did not pay as much Gre
denee to them as did the distinguished
ex-secretary of state.
In due course of time Mr.. Reeds ar
ticle was printed in Golfers He went
out of his way to paint an altogether
false and scandalous picture of the
native Florida crackers" he met at
the different landing places. Meet
ing Mr.. Bryan afterwards he said
that concerning himself it was the
most scandalous and mendacious ar
ticle that had ever been written about
him.
So John Reed being killed by the
Films may or may not be true. It may
be one of the methods the young man
mas of advertising himself and keep
ing his name on the front page of our
big dailies.

SHOULD MARRIED WOMEN Work.

Editorial in the Detroit Free Press
Whether married women, who have
husbands able to support them, should
fill positions in outside business life
or not, is a mooted question as a home
maker, is supposed to take charge Of
the family residence and look after
its innumerable details. But business
qualities are not uncommon in women.
nor the lack of them in men. If the
wife has talent and ability in some
remunerative occupation, if she has
never been trained to housekeeping
or has dislike for it, and if her earn
ings are sufficient to pay another wo-
man whose tastes are domestic to take
charge of the home and manage it
more completely than she could,
why should she not be permitted to do
SO without being subjected to criti-
cism?
With modern conyeniences in the
home and husband lunching down
town, house work in an apartment
leaves a woman with considerable
leisure on her hands, which, if she is
ambitious or was, prior to marriage,
engaged in work she enjoyed, makes
time drag heavily. Her husband usu-
ally opposes her desire to take up her
old work, saying he is able to support
her and feeling her resumption of
work is reflection on his ability to
do so. If there are children, the wo-
mans primal duty is to them; no paid
attendant, no matter how worthy, can
replace the ''mothering' only mother
can give.
The grandfather of the present gen
Grafton felt it disgrace If daughter
took up work outside the family. She
might teach, or sew, but any other
business was derogatory to his dignity
and a reflection upon his ability TO
support her until she married. The
Civil war forced women into outside
life, and parents and brothers exper-
fenced a change of heart, expecting
daughters and sisters not only to sup
port themselves, but in many cases
to contribute to theirs, The old Jest
about the man who, asked to do
days work, excused himself. but said
he would "send Hammer, may become
averty. When have often been charg-
ed with marrying for economic. rea-
sons. Are circumstances to be revers-
ed and a man look over 'the rosebud
garden of girls with view to select
ing the one most likely to be able to

CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRATIC
cLU5r

Mr.. A. s. Hough, Mr.. Cromwell Glib
bons, Mr.. Pleasant A. Holt, Mr.. w. K.
Sigh, Mr.. Ernest Metcalf, and per
haps, a handful Of others. have organ
lied in Jacksonville what they are
delighted to call constitutional
Democratic Cub"
We are told that Mr.. Sigh read a
paper giving his views as to what
were the principles of the democratic
party. Then we are told that he op-
poses the prohibition amendment on
the theory that it invades state rights.
The prohibition amendment was
adopted III precisely the same manner
as were the seventeen others, to-wit:
Pursuant to the fifth article of the
constitution Two thirds of both
houses of congress submitted it to the
several states and it was ratified by
three fourths of the several states.
Indeed it was ratified by all the states
but two.
We are told that the children Of
Israel longed for the flesh pots OF
Egypt but an eternal destiny carried
them forward.
So likewise destiny is carrying
the democratic party forward and
those who long for the "open saloon
shall no more have their longings
realized than did the children of Egypt
who longed for those delectable "flesh
pots
Surely the democratic party has q
higher destiny than to tie itself to the
liquor interests which has been de
throned after long and prostracted
fight in every hamlet in the nation
With such an il1ustrious past it can
not afford to come to such miserable
ending.
Then we are told that Mr.. Sligh
also opposed the nineteenth amend
ment, which if adopted at all. will in
like manner be adopted, but Mr.. Ern-
est Metcalf opposed this view saying
that the Constitutional Club must
not be areactionary."
So at. its very outset the "Constitu-
tional Club is running against snags
and will continue to do so for what
is constitutionally adopted will appear
to ordinary mortals as constitutional
The constitution has always been and
will continue to be the chart and com
pass of the democratic party.

Now, again, it is news that the

that the publishers refuse to suppress

PAYING TRIBUTE NORTH OF THE
LINE TO A CONFEDERATE
VETERAN

Mr.. William H. Anderson. a Con
federate veteran. died at Roodhouse,
Illinois, on April 6.
Mr.. W. P. Strunk, a valued subscri-
ber of the Banner, writing of Mr..
Anderson's death says: He was a
member of the 18th North Carolina reg
iment, Company X. AS there are a
number of people in and around Ocala
from that state. it may be possible
that he was known to some of them.
He was a good man and bore fine
reputation. There were seven or eight
G.. AR. men at the funeral. It gives
me pleasure to say that Mr.. Anderson
endeared himself to the members OF
our Post and we never failed to in
vite him to our festivities and dOings.
We had several Confederates in our
city several years ago but they have
all passed over the river. He is the
last to go. He was laid to rest in our
beautiful Fernwood cemetery with an
abundance of fragrant flowers on his
bier by loving friends.
This mark of respect is certainly
commendable and worthy of emula-
tion. In behalf of the Confederate
Camp of Ocala we return thanks
through Mr.. Strunk to the G. A. R.
Post of Roodhouse.
