patterned after the manifesto of the first congress- Of the communist inter- national helG at MoscoW in March,
 1919. and the constitution of that par
 ty, to convince any loyal American
 that its existence is inimica1 to our in
 stituticns and our government and
 that it should be sstsfnped out. I wish
 by every American citizen. There are
 thousands of sympathizers with the communists and other radicals who do not know the doctrines for which they stand. This very sympathy is a
 stumbling block in the way of the de- , partfnent of justice in its present eff l forts. All misunderstanding as to the aims of the communist party should be cleared away.
 Its manifesto clearly states: ''Conmunism does not propose to capture the bourgeois parliamentary state, but to conquer and destroy it AS long as the bourgeois state pre- ] vails. the capitalist class can baffle i the will of the people,
 Again:
 The proletarian revolution comes at the moment of crisis in capitalism. tof a collapse of the old order. Under l the impulse of the crisis. the prole- i tariat acts for the conquest of power
 by means of mass action. Mass ae- 1 tion concentrates and mobilizes the forces of the proletariat organized and
 unorganized; 1t acts equally against the ! bourgeois state and the conservative i organizations of the working class f Strikes of protest develop into genera. political strikes and then into revolu- i tionary mass action for the conques l of the power of the state Mass ac- 1 ton becomes political in purpose wh. {
 extra parliamentary in form; it i.
 equally process of revolution and the
 revolution itself in operation"
 l The program, although it does no say so in so many words, is an expres- [ son of the desire of a group of the
 people to possess the property oi
 others. To fulfill that purpose 1t i.
 necessary that all government and al religion shall be destroyed.
 Let us consider the porperty these revDlutionaries desire to seize. It | the savings bank accounts of II ,000,- 900 people, the national bank depositl of 18,000,000 people, the houses of 8, SSS o00 home owners, the lands of g.. SJ6,VG0 farm owners. The Libert, bonds held by 20,Q0O.000 people the.
 would fepudiate. To these seizure 1o0,000, 0e0 honest God fearing peopl
 are asked to submit for the benefit O a SA4dll group or LenlnS and TrotZkyk | It is obvious that the laws of tn f United States dealing with seditiol
 need amendment of the sort that now under consideration in congress But more than laws there is neede. full understanding on the part of tn American people of the true neaninI of the present red movement. When the people understand tha this movement is dominated by Leo Bronsteif1, alias Trotzky, an East Sid [ agitator who never did an honest day work. and men of his ilk they will be gin to see it in it's true light.
 ] When they understand that sabo
 tage, syndicalism and proletarian die ] tatorghip are only new names for rob bery and violence against the peopl, 7 the red flame that has so suddenl ? burst forth in this country will jus
 as suddenly die out, for it cannot liv l in an atmosphere in which it is under 3 stood.

sRINaTNe poWN PRIcEs.

For e long time the department of justice, charged with the responsibil- fly of bringing down prices, has been telling what was going to happen. that the cost of living was going down and that it was only a question Of a short time before 8, decided change would be experienced. but thus far it cannot be seen that much has been accomplished Tn fact the department, according to it's latest statement only attempts to claim that prices have remained stationary as the result of it's efforts, but it has nevertheless been the experience of many people that there has been q rise in several directions.
 While it is to be appreciated that the task of the department is not a sight one. 1t does not appear that it has been handled in the most efficient manner, and this is emphasized when the department admits that profteer- Ing in Chicago has become so wide spread that steps would probably be taken to appoint a special assistant 10 the attorney general to handle the sitEatson there. And what is true regarding that locality is likewise true regarding others, and the fact that the department is at this late cate considering the securing of more hep Indicates plainly enough that if is not now blocking the profteer and that the efforts it has made In tfds direction have been inadequate.
 And yet in spite of this there has been an appeal made to the people to do everything possible to eliminate waste and red1fce costs by careful buying The consumer has been car rying no slight burden for a tons time. He is stiH anxious and winine to dc his part but it is hardly to be e1peeted that he is going to respond 10 the limit when the department is falling down in it's responsibilities There are those who claim thai prices would be affected but little even if the prohteers were completei, eliminated but just as long as there are those engaged in such business there is work a plenty for the depart ment of justice te attend to.

CUTTING EXPENDITURES.

Senator Reed did his best to threw cold water over the action of the lower house of congress in cutting the rivers and harbors appropriation 6iil to the quick. He made it appar- e1t chzt he doesn't like the idea of ts11ng away the pork even at a ttme when there is need for the great eE End of economy and he even went 90 far as to intimate that the szzte would never agree to it.
 I1ere are some things in which the opposition of Senator Reed can be regarded as a boost and it cannot help being Seft that finis is one of the 1nsEznces. II cannot fail to appeal to the senste even as it has to the ho1ss dsat the time has arrived for BrDPpng needless expenditures. There is no question but what the country cs11d spend a bfiIdon dollars as the ssnEtor claim for internal improve menfs, but it Is eQuaf9y certain that m1cA or s1ca expenditure, based up- on past experiences, would be waste The twelve million called for in the xtvers and harbors measure as pass- cd by the house will be sufficient tc eake care of needs and gives evi- dences that that branch of congress 6 alive to It's duty.

AUTO MUD ARU WATER TsRoW.
 FRS,

There can11Dt help being a large amount of sympathy with the pre- tests that are being voiced as the re- suit of tAe manner in which autone- biies afe driven through puddles of mud and water regardless Of the ef- feet that it has upon the people on the sidewalks or the way in which it spetters the front of buildings.
 Whatever may be said about the fact that there ought not to be pud- dles in the street, the chief trouble is due to the manner in which the autos are operated. Not every driver of an auto would be able to qualify as a slapdaSher but those who drive their machines at a rapid rate are the ones who lift a water and mud bar rage for many feet to each side and whoever or whatever happens to De within the throwing distance, and that is largely measured by tine speed of operation, must take the conse- quences.
 Much of the legislation that has been enacted to govern automobile drivers has been made necessary by similar disregarding of others on the part of certain drivers. The many invariably are obliged to suffer be- cause of the few. but it is neverthe less time that it should be realized that those who walk along the side walk are entitled to some protection from the mud and water singing au to drivers. There is no Justification for such acts any more than there is for the speeding of machines through the streets when payemerAs are dry If anyone other than the driver ei an auto undertook to plaster the fronts of stores, and, Hespatter the clothing and faces of pedestrians the, could be expected to be prosecuted If the throwing of mud and water Som the street onto the sidewalk by an auto could be accepted as evidence of fast driving thert might be . means of checking such disregard fei others and. there would be few in. stances when it would not be possi- ble to get plenty of indignant wit. aesses willing to do their part to pu an end to such heedness work.

Christ: which is far better; never theless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. And, having this confidence, 1 knowe that l shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith" Phil. I. 21-25.
 The language of Paul is like some great river which flowing through some country bends first to the one ] side, then to the other. and then comes back again into it's straight course.
 The strong absorbing devotion Paul has to Christ. It transflgures life and adorns death. The one is simple conservation; the other advancement and progress.
 The noble theory of life in these words: '4Fer me to live is Christ" Rooted in Him, deriving my being from Him, drawing all it's energies from Him, my true life into me from { the Lord, the basis and the source. He is also goal and aim. Life from Christ, life for Christ, fife with Christ life like Christ.
 Contrast the simplicity and power there is in such 8 life, with the mis- cry that comes to all lives that have a less profound source. Life out of Christ is like the timid navigu fon of old who crept from headland to headrahd; and never lost sight of the low-lying shores nor saw the won- ders of the deep and the majesty of mid-ocean, we ever touched the hap py shores which they reach who steer ! by the stars.
 ]. Wherever life is thus simple and of a piece, death is gain.
 The second bend of the river is the hesitation that rises in his mind from the contemplation of life as a field [ for work '1 am in strait betwixt two"-ea man hedged up between two walls, not knowing where to turn. So we have two counter attractions death and life.
 The attraction of death-iI desire 1 to depart and be with Christ" This 1 is not one weary of work and tired ! of l;fe.- The reason for living that masters and overbeafs such a req
 son for wanting to die. To abide 1T
 the flesh is more needful for you
 There is work to be done. It is no'
 the dread of death; He saw yondel I a. great light and turned from it, ant said No, there is a work for me here, so notice the beautiful calm so. i lution, q know that I shall abide ant continue with you all" The true at titude is neither desire, nor shrink | ing. nor hesitation, but calm talk ing what God wills.
 I Here are two theories of life whicl are mutually exclusive. Here is on -'To me to live is Christ, and to di is gain" Here is the other-'To m to live is self, and to die is loss ant
 despair. Which? Which?

Stories That Recall Others.
Had a Good Rsasan.

Thomas aged 1-2, had been sitting stock still in his chair, as befitted 8 gentleman, while his family entertain ed company. This was unusual to those who knew his active disposition. F'l= ally the reason came out:
 q am sitting stin like this" he con- fided to one of the company, because my mother told we to- Thus having relieved his mind of the stain of perfect quiet as a voluntary act, he again relapsed into quiet and a rigid posture.
 Anxious. A city school principal was rushing along the street the other day when a youngster about years old stopped her Are you the principal at Blank buiIding?" he asked. The principal nodded her head "why, do you go tnere?" she asked in turn. "No,' he returned, '1 go to another building. But just wanted to know If the lfclkiu' had begun at your build- ing yeti"

THE MATER nEPARTMENr cAsE

E has taken some time for the ap- peal of former Superintendent Edwin l.. Burnap, from the action of the board of water commissioners in abolishine the office which he held, to reach g final decision but it IS held by the 9ate supreme court that his coutenrion was correct. that he was illegally deprived of his office
 The case hinged on an act Of the state IegSature by which the super ment was to hold office during good behavior instead of being elected each year. the aim being to get and keep an efncieut superintendent instead of making the office a political football. When the political control changed following the passage Of the act the democratic majority of the water corinisSoners refused to respect the law and to ge around it undertook zo abolish the offsce by placing the re- sponsiblities on the president.
 This threw Mr- Burnap out of of fee, against his protest, and the de- cixon of the supreme court in up- holding inc decision of the lower court eatirles him to recover for the per3ed from the time when he was busted until the law passed by the general assembly abolishing the spe- cial act making the office a perma ne1t one became effective.
 The decision therefore means that fhs legislative act was beyond the power Of the water board to change and thai Mir Bunap must be paid for the time he was illegally kept from the odice- In other words for that period Norwich must pay for two superintendents of the water de- partment in addition to meeting the expenses which go with the litigation and it will be interesting for the tax payers Of the city to learn in time just what the political plum gather ing Cf the democrats has cost them for t is the taxpayer rather than these responsible who must settle the biils
