An Aye Opener.

That is what 1.-TWO Minute Talks
on Today's Topics" published by
1.-THE Toiler,' in my humble
opinion, may without exageration
be fittingly designated. Elmer T.
Allison, the author, has certainly
made unique contribution to Com
munist literature. The startling
events of the past two years and
their evolutionary significance are
vividly portrayed in the order of
their occurrence. The evident in
tent Of the author in presenting
this retrospect is to keep these
events fresh in the minds of the
workers, whose besetting sin is
failure to retain an intelligent
grasp on world happenings and
their relation to the changing So
cial order. It is a pamphlet deserv-
ing of a place in any workers.
library, for it can be read again
and again with profit. Nothing has
been recently printed of equal pro.
paganda value, as it deals largely
with social events Of recent date
and cannot fail to enlist the attCn-
tion of the reader. The Illuminated
cover is an added attraction, but
the contents is the stuff that "brings
home the bacon''. Wide awake
Communists who know a good
thing when they see it will not
rest satisfied until they have
placed few copies in the hands
of the unenlightened. I cannot re-
commend 1.-TWO Minute Talks" too
highly.

Go To Kansas.

If monstrosities you seek
Go to Kansasl
On that living fossil freak
Cast your glancesl
Yes, he's there, with legal whip,
Herding labor lest it slip
Lest it take flying trip,
Where thought advances.
Think you old King Nero's deadi
Go to Kansasl
Pillage kept and profit fed,
There he prances;
Gone full long, but back two soon.
With his jig and rigadoon,
He's still fidding his old tune
While labor dances.
Seek you rOtton politics9
Go to Kansas
There's where legislative sticks,
Turn to lances;
There g where recent laws were made.
That belittled and betrayed,
And put labor in the shade
To dim its chances.

of the World War, is the application

with Mr.. Daniels but for the sake Of
consistency and that same golden rule
of doing unto others as we would be

The Golden Rule is not an integral
part of the Christian religion but is
basically a part of the religion of
Confuscius, it having originated
amongst the Chinese.
John Grieb Hibben, President Prince
ton University is quoted, "The spirit
of Christianity alone can successfully
cope with those influences in our
country which tend to destroy our
great institutions, both religious and
political. Our great religious insti-
tuition is the church, which has ever
been stumbling block in the path

est political institution is the State.
which is class institution, maintained
by one class for the purpose of keep

the esprit of Christianity can be de-
pended upon to save these. institu-

economic usefulness then the spirit of
Christianity can be depended upon to
uphold and perpetuate slavery.

Babson says, "For our own sakes, for

MEN get behind the churches and their
preachers! Let US from this day give
them more time, money and thought,
for upon them, the value of ALL WE
OWN ultimately depends" :" There is
the cold raw, blunt, brutal truth. Labor
has created all the values in the world.
US BUSINESSMEN by the legalized
robbery of the wages-system have come
into possession of the wealth of the
world until now, one builds and another
inhabits, one sows and another reaps,
one produces and another consumes.
The VALUE of all that the business
men posses is stolen value-values
stolen from labor-and labor is learn

iails of the capitalist.cOntrolled state

ers of this great truth and still the
state finds itself powcrless to stop the
spread of the truth about the origin

state fails of its function, we must
get behind the churches and their
preachers, for upon them alone can we
depend to protect us and our stolen
loot. Such is the wall of tho business

ministration stated he was sure the
President was pleased because the
Republican nominee for President had
left no doubt as to his ."irreconc,i-
able opposition" to the league.
The absence from Washington OF
all Republican Senators precluded a
statement by any Of them here a. 10
how they regarded senator Hardinss
speech. The Democratic senators
here. however, stated they welcomed
the speech as an "unmistaka able indi-
cation" that Senator Hardtng's stti-
tude on the league was that OF sem
stors Borah and Hiram johnson ana
other "irreconcilable" Senators who
fought ratincation Of the Treaty OF
yersailles, with and without reserva-
tions.
MEETS ISSUE sQUARELY.
"It In my opinion Senator Harding
has met the issue squarely." Senator
simmons of North Carolina, one OF
the Democratic leaders of the Senate
said. "Those who read Senator Hard
ing's speech accepting the Repub-
lican nomination for President could
discern his purpose to oppose the
League IL elected President. His
speech yesterday, therefore, need oc-
casion no surprise. ! am glad the he
publican nominee has left no DOUBT
as TO where he stands on the League,
or what he would do IL he were per-
mitted to direct the foreign policies
of the United States. The situation
has been completely clarified by his
utterance."
mo one should be surprised at
Senator Harding's characteristic at
tack on the League Of Nations SEN
ytoh
recognized during the treaty night In
the Senate that Senator Harding was
one of those Republican Senators Bit
terly and irreconcilably hostile to the
League Of Nations. The Senator has
simply stripped his attitude on the
League Of all camoufage.
LINED UP WITH JOHNSON.
"It Is also known that at the Chi
cago convention Senator Harding was
in sympathy with Senators Borah and
johnson, and not with Murray Crane
and other Republican leaders who IA
yored ratification. Senator Hard
ing's Interpretation of the Republican
platform was that Of Senators Borah
and Johnson-a flat. open reputation
OF the League and q commitment or
the Republican party to a constant
fight against 1t.
1T Is not surprising. therefore,
that Senators Borah and Johnson have
been invited to participate actively In
the Republican campaign in the East
or that they are to make the same
kind Of speeches against the League
as they made in the Senate.
Senator Harding has simply
thrown off the mask. His course Is
reactionary. 1t Is regrettable he and
Governor Coolidge. the Republican
nominee for Vice President, should
carry on a campaign Of vituperation
and abuse Of the President, whose
contributions to the cause of social
justice and international peace and
order will make him the foremost
figure OF this age.
President Wilson will be remem-
bered when Penrose and Lodge and
