"Poor Fish,"

The Federal authorities claim to
have evidence that the Communist
party through the !. w. w. and at
the instigation of the Russian Com
munist Internationale has been en-
couraging and directing this outlaw
strike on the railroads. Anyhow
there isn't the slightest doubt but
the purposes are in line with bring
ing about Il world revolution such as
Lenine has Sought, and further con-
firmation appears in the evidence
that Foster. who led the steel strike,
is back of this outlaw. strike with
the purpose to break UP tie railroad
brotherhoods and establish one big
union.
Our local readers will recall that
these demonstrations bear out the
predictions Ole Hanson made in his
address here several months ago.
To date, results encourage the hope
that there are enough Ole Hansons
in this country to curb the traitors.
How has it been possible for this
reasonable poison to be SO success

fully administered? Men have been
infected who are among the best
paid, whose employment would seem
to require good grade of intelli-
gence, who have yielded themselves
to an effort to destroy this Govern
ment, to debase our civilization;
they have been puppets at the end of
a string the other end of which is
held by those who are recruiting
armies in Russia by means of food
and are compelling them to work.
Stop transportation in this country
and millions of people who would be
thrown out of work, become discon-
tented and SO likely subjects of re-
bellion.
A deviiish scheme, dazzling TO
those who saw it, but how many
saw it? Not the poor "boobs" dane
ing at the end of the string! We
may be sure of that. They are
moving about in a hypnotic trance,
infested and bewildered by propa-
ganda favored with CAB. In every
organization. associating with every
group of industrial workers--and
with some others--are men hired to
administer this poison, to propagate
discomfort, to play upon the emo
tons of selfshness and prejudice
And so it happens that otherwise
sensible men become the dupes of
those who can talk, swallow false
promises with the greed of d hungry
fish leaping at fly.
1t is pitiful TO see the gaping mob
we make of ourselves in the pres
ence of a glib tongue. We wish
more might have heard the brief ad-
dress before the Abnaki Club by
Rev. Mr.. Knickerbocker, Wednesday
evening, on this subject Of Talk"
We are all susceptible to it, fortu-
nately some less than others. In
deed this revolutionary hypnotism
appears to have accomplished little
with the hard-headed New England
employees of the railroads. One in
Portland referred to the dupes as
"crazed by the heat" The men
capable and willing to think for
themselves are the only ones COM
paratively immune from this CAB
favored with malice and greed. The
menacing feature Of the situation is
the growing disposition on the part
Of people to permit others to do their
thinking for them, being too indolent
to do their own. "A poor fish" is an
expression with much the same
meaning conveyed by the word
'gudgeon." Either term will apply
to those unwilling to make an effort
to think intelligently.

Oriental Labor.

A Chicago bank official who has
been wi,.tering in California has re-
turned with the almost incredible
information that the great coast
state is about ready to withdraw her
long and bitter opposition to the i'm
portation of Chinese. and Japanese
labor.
The reason for this, if the report
be true. must be that California has
to decide between oriental labor and
no labor at all. The danger of no
labor at all is by no means confined
to California, however. There is q
nation wide scarcity, and the short
age is not being made up by immi-
grafton from Europe as it used to
be. Recent immigration reports
showed that the bulk of the 'immi-
grafton at present is made up of
girls and war widows, while many
foreign born men who have been
here a few years are going back,
avowing their intention to stay.
Our labor shortage must be made
up in some way. Chinese labor. has
perhaps never been called in ques-
ton as to its efficiency if properly
directed. Certainly the record of
the coolies in France was good in
getting things done. The trouble
with the orientals has been over
other things, their Willingness to
work for small wages, their social
usa ges, their boarding of wealth to
taAe back home, their religious
practices and their clan organiza-
TONS If some method might be de-
vised to import oriental labor under
supervision, the danger of having
nobody to do the nations work
might be relieved. And if California
ceases to object, what about others?

Getting 1t in Plenty.
fpatl, Tt,n,nrA

The United States has been pass
ing through one of the most trou-
blous times in its history during the
past six months and today the situa-
ton is perhaps as critical as at any
time. During all these months. since
last September, President Wilson,
the chief executive of the nation. has
not called meeting of his cabinet
until the session called for TODAY.
The people have become tired of the
League OF Nations talk and the pro-
hibitory law and are demanding a
reduction in the costs of living.
Every day that something is not done
to meet this problem is productive of
greater trouble and danger. The
people have stood period of profit
eering, and neglect of necessary
legislation, such as was never known
before. Today they are demanding,
in all parts of the country, that this
profitecring shall cease and that liv-
ing costs must come down. The
governemnt is to put on sale moro
goods at it's srmy stores. This might
be a help if they could be supplied all
of the people at reasonable prices.
but these army store sales benefit but
comparatively few and much of this
material goes into the hands of deal
ers and it is doubtful how much
benefit the public receives.

Instructed and Uninstructed
New York Times, Ind. Dem. J

New York Times, Ind. Dem)
1t may be true that this or that
candidate has the greater number of
instructed delegates, but this is u
matter that should not concern or
deeply interest the public. 1t is the
uninstructed delegates on whom the
public attention should centre. They
are not the opinionless herd that the
| word "uninstructed" might seem to
convey. They are chosen with defi-
mite intentions. all the stronger for
their being "uninstructed," and, as
they are the great majority, they
will determine the vote of the con-
ventions.
There is, in fact. no practical use
in having Presidential preference
instruction. if given at State con-
vention--does not bind any dele
gate beyond a time which is usually
determined by a caucus, and may
come directly after the first ballot.
In the Republican Convention GER
tainly, and in the Democratic Con-
vention probably, there will be no
decision on either the first or the
second ballot. Therefore these ex-
pressons of preference in one State
or another mean little.
On the other hand, the attitude of
the uninstrueted delegates is a mat
ter of the most serious importance.
They will cast the deciding vote. and
not only that. but they will be the
only consequential delegates in the
convention. II anybody knew how
they would vote, he could predict the
outcome at once. They are not likely
to be bartered by managers and
bosses. and in the Republican Con-
vention and a large part Of the Dem
ocratic there will be no unit rule.
Some of the delegates may go to the
conventions open to argument and
some with their minds irrevocably
made up. The chances are that the
majority of them will belong to the
latter category.

Dandruff Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls--if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy. silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash 1t out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandrufi is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this. get about four ounces Of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub il in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most IL not all, of
your dandruff will be gono, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. 1t is
inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff YOU have. This simple
remedy never fails.-Adv.
