REDS AND EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN

We have learned that thought rules the
world While we are deporting Reds we
must never lose sight of the fact that
democracy and self rule, on the one hand
and socialism on the other are the result
Of a process of education. We can edu-
cate people in either direction. We have
repeatedly emphasized the fact that pub
licity is the universal panacea. Let 1t APP
ply to this problem of the Reds.
The surest way to suppress socialism, is
to meet argument with argument, prop
uganda with propaganda. If the socialist
proposes to rely on the ballot to right
conceded wrongs, he is manifestly within
his rights under the constitution guaran-
teeing free speech and a free press. If,
however he proposes to use force and in
tindation and terrorism and mass shoot
ing to secure the setting up of soviet,
he is manifestly fit subject for an ad-
ditional ark Of the soviet.
One of the best bits Of publicity or
propaganda against radical socialism that
we have seen is the utterance of Cardinal
O'Connel of Boston. In a forceful address
delivered at the union services of Holy
Name society men from several parishes
of the diocese. held at the Cathedral Of
the Holy Cross. the Cardinal excoriated
the keds, pointed out the duty Of every
man to obey the law of God and the legal
ly constituted authority of State. and
urged the men to stand firm In these days
of anxiety. He also pointed out the sig
nificant and gratifying fact that not one
Catholic is to he found among all the
Reds imprisoned or deported
LAS we love this country" said tho
Cardinal, land love it we do with all the
love of our hearts, must work for it's
honor and for it's prosperity and for it's
security. Obey the law Of God. Obey the
laws of properly constituted authority.
Love God and love your country.
Reverence all those wno in any Nv
whether in the spiritual or in the civil
order represent God. and with that feel
ing of reverence, loyalty love and obedi-
ence. every day of your lives will be a
lesson of how to secure for this country
prosperity and security
IF our American youth are educated
along these lines, we do not need to wor-
ry about their becoming future Bolshe-
visits or Reds. The same sort of propa-
ganda will prevent many workers from
yielding to Red appeals at this time.

THE STATE
CHARGE THEFT OF cows

Abraham Newman, a well known cat
tie dealer who conducts a brokerage
house at Rutland, has been held for
the March term of Rutland county court.
charged with the theft of five cows
value at s625. The case, which is an out
growth of the fire at the farm of Col.
H. Edward Dyer on November rs. when
several head of cattle were burned, has
attracted more than ordinary interest.
because of the mystery which surround
ed the origin of the blaze at the time
and partly on account of the promin-
ence of Newman. Joseph Perron, an en-
ploye of Newman, testified to driving
four cows to the Dyer barns on the
night before the fire and returning
with five Of the Dyer cattle on the
same night all under the cover of
darkness. In summing up for the State,
the prosecuting attorney said that Mr..
Dyer had lost five head of cattle, that
two of them had been later found in
the barns of Ex-Gov. John A. Mead
just north of the Dyer farm, and that
the manager of the farm had told of
buying these cattle from Newman.

POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT

not witnessed marked progress for any

CATTLE BRANDS
nance and Tragedy OF Southwest

nance and Tragedy OF Southwest
tFrom the Minneapolis JournaD
Romance mixed with tragedy might
be written about the cattle brands of
Texas and the southwest. Around them
have centered many thrilling deeds. They
have been the means of bringing swift
|retribution to a host of outlaws; they
have served as the basis for transactions
involving the sale of untold millions of
head Of cattle.
The records Of the Texas Cattle
Raisers' association show there are more
than 5000 registered brands in that State.
No two brands are alike. Usually each
represents a separate ranch. 1t Is often
the case that a ranch is much better
known by the brand of its cattle than by
the name of the owner. When fernando
Cortez conquered Mexico in the early 10th
century. he established a ranch upon the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The cattle bore
his brand. Although that was nearly
40 years ago. the cattle on that ranch to-
day bear the original Cortez brand.
ORIGIN OF BRAND EARLY
The origin of the cattle brand dates
back to the dim dawn of history. when
the brand was a necessity to identify cat
tie in the annual roundups. With the
coming Of wire fences this necessity
largely was obviated, but the brand serv
cd still to place guilt upon cattle thieves
Ingenious methods sometimes are used
by cattle thieves to change existing
brands upon stolen stock.
The cattle brands Of some ranches have
come to stand for honesty in breeding,
weight and dealing.
In the record of brands every letter of
lac.
are found in three or four positions An
exception Is co. and when fiattened at
the sides it is called a mashed Co." a
link or goose egg.
"N'' is not susceptible Of many positions
for horizontally it is ~" 'I' is another
letter with a limited use.
| &c" and tx" are used in four positions.
the ''tumbling X on its back horizontal
| ly, the "lazy X" and reversed a fourth
position.
SPECIAL BRANDS DEVISER
There is the Spur" ranch. the Turkey
Track ranch. and the Lazy X"
Often the ranchmen's sons and daugh-
ters have their special brands. and new
brand is not an unusual form of celebra l.
| ing a birth on the range.
! Among the peculiar brands is pig
extending to form the exterior angles.
Crescents are common. Only one ranch
man has Ratchet for brand.
| L. J. Kimberlin's ranch had a crutch on
the hip and a coffee pot on the side. The
coffee pot design is not so intricate as one
, might imagine. consisting Of only eight
lines.
Wine glasses are not uncommon as a
brand. A rocking chair is another.
A hash knife, a hat, the Masonic square
a key, turkey track, bell, crossed
walking sticks, an hour glass, a tree. a
boot, slipper. flag. an apple. a flower
ladders. rakes. spades. fence. a dol
baby, a cotton hook, fishhook. bottle,
bride bits, frying pan, ptcnfork and
even a comet may be seen among the
long list of brands.

compilation Of newspaper comment from
all sections Of the country, declared that
General Wood was far and away the
most prominent candidate, but that Gov.
Coolidge and Gov. Lowden Of Illinois
were the only other candidates possessed
of any strength outside their own States.
Representatives of New York, Washing
ton and Chicago newspapers, who have

view. Invariably they placed the leading
candidates as Wood. Lowden and Cool

cratic editors and "a from editors of
republican newspapers. William G. Nc
Adoo leads In the democratic column
and General Wood in the republican
column for president.
OF the 1913 editors of democratic news
papers, the presidential pool was as fol-

The chief center of interest for the
Democratic party at this particular time
is in the national capital. AS already
stated in these columns Bryan is suspect

his party not only as to the nominee Of
the party and the platform but also as
to action with reference to the early
jackson day dinner Thursday, January
s. is expected to be the greatest democrat
pre-convention event since the dinner on
the same date in 1912 when Woodrow Will
son made the speech which won for him
a sufficient degree Of notice among the
democratic leaders to prepare the way
for his nomination later on at Baltimore.
Whether Bryan can make his own his
tory of 1896. with it's crown Of thorns and
cross Of gold speech. repeat itself in 1920
Is the chief question as regards the demo-
cratic situation at this time.

One OF the "reminiscences that former

OF his maiden speeches, In which he

speaker was on that easiest of easy

without needing. Presently, in answer

Mr. Taft scowled, but continued his
speech.

the voice.
Angriy addressing the persistent in-
terrupter, Mr., Taft cried. Look here,

the government that would make mis-
