One of Lies Ironies.

Time will bring its own revenge"
cries Tennyson. and cables have just
borne witness in a striking way to
its truth.
For years Emma Goldman and
Alexander Berkman have gone I'D
and down the length and breadth of
the land, denouncing the United
States and everyone connected with
It,. They have advocated fire. sword
dynamite, melenite and everything
else that was subversive of law and
order and destructive to civilization.
Not only by word of mouth, but also
through the pages of Mother Earth,
frankly anarchistic paper. they
have endeavored to spread red doc
trines in a red, white and blue ma
ton
They advocated everything soviet
Russia stands for: absolute anarchy,
destruction Of law and order, So
cialization of women. destruction Of
the bourgeoisie and canohization of
the proletariat. For years they fought
for these tenets strenuously by word

through the streets of Russia like

Emma and her illx had demanded
ever since the machinery of her
mouth had been set in motion. It
was confidently expected that she
would shake the gold dust OF America
from her number sevens and go to
the new heaven. Oddly enough, how
ever. she showed not the least desire
to do so. Therefore the government
came to her aid and transported her
to the heaven made by hands--red
hands at that.
No sooner had she gained the new
Elysium than disillusionment set in
She found hunger, cold and misery
rampant in what was to be a new

The Political Expert,

When David said in his haste
that all men were liars. IL he had
political experts in mind he might
have taken his time about 1t, for
the entire country cordially agrees
with him-at least so far as they are
concerned. A buckeye may cure
rheumatism. a rabbits foot may stave
off misfortune, and a fortune teller
may look upon a hand whose great
est need Is soap and water and be
able to tell us the color of our flu
ture spouse's hair and eves--we may
believe all these things, but our faith
in the political prognosticator is lost
for evermore.
How many times did the political
prophet glance up from his tally
sheet and tell us positively-at so
much per column, of course, that's
where the profit comes in,-that
Tennessee. because of the fact that
Charlie Ross was never found, that
black cat climbed a back fence in
the dark OF the moon. and the OPP
posing candidate found an oyster In
his stew would surely and beyond a
doubt give at least 10000 majority
to the good old Democratic party;
that because kentucky was all "het"
up over moonshlne in sunlight, that
the Cabbage Patch" might be moved
from Louisville and made into sauer-
kraut. and that Republican candi-
date had been seen to smile when
the Mammoth Cave was mentioned
for these and sundry other impor-
tant reasons kentucky would un.
dorbtedly go for Harding.
In the bright, beautiful days when
we were credulous and believed that
even political prognosticators were
human, upon reading these glowing
prophecies that Cox was going to
carry New York in one hand and
Ohio on his shoulder, and that his
majority in the Philippines, zap is
land, Alaska, Samoa and the Virgins
would be as large as Che printer
could make 1t, we would take our
weeks wages and bet the entire
amount on Ohio's favorite son; only,
leo astray by the experts, we made
a mistake as to which one was the
favorite-and so, in the allegorical
language of the street orientals, we
are off the experts for life"

Come on, Uncle Wlggily! Aren't
you ready?" asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy one afternoon, as she waltzed
down the stairs in the hollow stump
bungalow where the bunny rabbit
gentleman was reading the Cabbage
Leaf News in the sun parlor.
"Neady? Ready for what?" asked
Mr.. Longears, in surprise. IF you

"Oh, I had forgotten all about it!''
said Uncle Wiggily. You're all
dressed up to go, see, Nurse Jane"
Indeed / am" cried the muskrat
lady housekeeper, as she waltzed
around again, and Uncle Wiggily no.
ticed that she had on very newest
silk dress with accordion gored plait-

Uncle Wiggily, flattering like and
sincere. Il do remember, now, that

moment I'll get my best tall silk

Uncle Wiggily did not have to stop
to put any powder on his pink,
twinkling nose, so he was soon ready
to go with the muskrat lady to the
home of Mrs. Wibblewobble the duck
lady.
Off they started over the fields and

dress. DO you see the Fuzzy Fox

The / W. W. prisoners who have been
boarding there since last summer hac
been given their trial IN district court

At their trial last week they were de-
Tended by the attorneys, Harold
Much and Caroline A. Lowe who are
good lawyers for such work. They
understand how to delay court pro-
ceedings in every way possible and to
add up a big expense against the
cases. The I. W. W.'s have not been
given a very pleasant reception in
WaKeeey during the last few years
and it is hoped this will be the last
chapter in the proceedings However,
it may not be. While being taken to
the penitentiary, Murphy, who was
one of the prisoners and an organizer,
stated that it was his opinion that the
I. w. w. orgaizaion would advise its
members to stay away from Wa
Keeney and Trego County at next
harvest time and let the farmers
wheat rot on the ground. 1t is not
likely that the farmers will take this
threat very seriously.

sion of about 5000 acres of land which
includes the city of -Chi11icothe, Ohio,
together with about 600 acres in the

was made on the land which is now
expiring and Mr. Hickey has notice
that there will be settlement and

The original Mr.. Baker was an uncle

THE FARMERS ARE WATCHING
NORTH DAKOTA

While banks all over the country
have been prospering as never before,
an exception is noted in North Da-
kota, where many of these 1nstltu-
tions recently have closed their doors
Those conversant with the kind of
government existing there and its
itimate connection with the business
of the people will experience no sur
prise. It has been freely predicted
from the time the Nonpartisan
League came into control of the North
Dakota state government that disas-
ter for about everybody except the
league leaders would follow. 1t seems
to have arrived Money may be ac-
Quired by a few through sharp prac-
tices, but the masses must work for
what they get. Prosperity cannot be
snatched from the air. If there be
farmers who still think that the
league is a good thing let them keep
their eyes on North Dakota for the
next two years.-Industria1 News
