HUNGRY FOR AMERICA AGAIN

Emma Goldman, Alexander Burk-
man and lot of others who were
deported from America about a year
ago, and who left the dock at New
York cursing America and singing
Socialist songs ridiculing American
institutions, are working in Russia
at anything they can get to do, and
wishing they could get back to Amer
lea. They sailed from New York on
the Buford, which they called the
Soviet ark, and now they have been
trying to blow up Soviet officials in
Russia.
Emma Goldman is writing history
in Russia, Burkman is working as
common laborer, and many of the
others are working where conditions
are hard and forbidding and food and
shelter scarce.
A few weeks ago when w. d. Van
derlip, the San Francisco capitalist,
was in Moscow he met Emma Gold
man, the woman who has spent many
years condemning capital and capt.
talists, and while talking with him
she made an appeal in these words:
"Oh, let us come back to America"

EIGHT YEAR OLD
SCHOOL GIRL OF
FALLS MISSING
Child Fails to Return
From School and
Searching Parties
Sent Out

IDAHO FALLS.-The police were
notified at midnight Monday night
that S-year-old Dorothy Tote had
failed to return to the home of her
parents on Williams street between
X and L streets in the north part
of the city.
The father of the child, accompan-
led by Oscar Paul, called at police
headquarters alt IL o'clock. Chief
Carlson sent out general alarm cal
ling in all patrolmen, giving them a
description of the child and instruct
ing that a search be made. In the
meantime the telephone was used
to call number of people whom the
child might have visited, but without
result.
The little girl attends the River
side school, which dismisses for the
day at 3:45 in the afternoon. On
leaving home for school the little
girls told her parents that she was
to visit family by the name of Han
son, who lives on Whittier street in
her neighborhood.
The family did not become alarm
ed until near midnight, when they
called on the Hanson family. The
child had not been there. The father
accompanied by Oscar Paul called at
the police station. 1t was learned
that the little girls is one of those

the auditorium. Mrs. Linford of 18th
street, who has charge of the re-
hearsals, was called on the telephone

attended the rehearsal and had left
the auditorium at o'clock.

that the girl might have visited her
sister Violet, who lives with a family
at Idaho and G street, but that prov
ed not to be the case. A number OF
people were telephoned to help look
for the missing girl.
She is described as 8 years old,

Beauty. No artist could live all his
life opposite homely woman with
out eventually medicorizing his art.
Beauty is not practical; neither Is
art; so the two go hand in hand.
Secondly, a woman to be good
wife, should be Intelligent. Espe-
cially is this SO for the singer, the
artist, the writer or the scientist who
travels. So many details of daily ex-
istence should rightfully belong to
the wife's share Of management in
families such as these. My wife has
learned to plan my tours, make our
reservations and attend to all the
little details Of voyaging, so that |
am never bothered.
Thirdly, q wife should understand
that although she is her husbands
partner, she is only the junior part
ner. 1t Is the husband who battles
with the world for their daily bread.
1t is the husband on whom the re-
.sponsibility of their dual welfare
rests. Therefore the wife should
tacitly admit that the husband is
senior partner in the concern and
that his wishes, If not law, should at
any rate be thoughtfully considered.
Fourthly, wife should understand
the science of household manage
ment. She may not have to cook her.
self, but she should learn what is
infinitely more important-how to
manage cooks. She should be econo-
mical but not parsimonious. In all
matters of personal comfort she
should not stint.
Given a wife with all these char
acteristics, a sort of "soul commun-
ion" will inevitably materialize-if
such thing can be called material
and welded life will be continuous
honeymoon. .iig#-
Now you know why in spite of all
those thousands of photographs l ex-
amined last year in Chicago | finally
found my bride, not in America, but
in Europe-in France.
| An American woman might be
beautiful. She might be-and gen.
orally is intelligent. She might be
household marvel. She might be as
economical as Andrew Carnegie. But
l am thoroughly convinced no Amer
lean woman would be willing to ad
NIT herself only the junior partner
of the marriage pact!

Predicts Pillaging
Of British Capital
Reprisal for Cork

WASHINGTON. - The loot Of
London that will follow the burning
Of Cork and the devastation that will
be worked will make the charred re-
mains of this Irish city ''look like q
playground"
This was the prediction voiced by
Right Rev. Bishop Shashan, rector
of the Catholic University of America
in a formal statement evoked by the
terrible story of arson, pillage and
terror in Cork.
"The burning of Cork surpasses in
grim horror and fierce injustice the
crime of Louvain. The little acad-
emic city of the Belgians was given
over to arson and pillage in the name
of the German empire and under the
direction of the German military
force whereupon England aroused
the entire world with her passionate
denunciation of the crime of the
ages.
mo, she has herself committed a
super-crime, not in the name of any
authorized government, but in the
name spirit and principle of anarchy.
"Maliciously the English parlia-
ment squints at it's own agents,
clothed by it with omnipotence and
irresponsibility and encourages Boil
shevist practices that tomorrow will
come home to London with sanguin-
airy interest, insofar as the Loot Of
London surpasses that of Cork aud
the red eyed rage of its dumb masses
can work out in deeds of horror that
will make the ashes of Cork look like
a playground. Again, and when
Charles v. surpassed both, it was
done in the name of law and order,
the cruel law and order OF conquest,
but still proclaimed and enforced,
fierce and bloody as were it's rules,
al d inhumau as were its sanctions.
But in Cork wild-eyed anarchy,
wearing the insignia Of English
authority, its agents encouraged and
abetted by the English parliament,
tho unnamed and irresponsible,
waves the torch, pours the oil, casts
the bomb, cuts the fire hose, shoots
up the peaceful and unarmed city
and retired to it's lorries and its bar.

night to repeat this saturnalia of
murder and arson and loot.
