YOUTH HEARS NEWS OF ACCIDENT IN BED
 OVER OWN WIRELESS

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 12 (by As soc1ated Press). John Huston, II years old who is bedridden in his home here, was the first person in Phoenix except the Associated Press operator and telegraph editor on the Arizona Gazette, to hear of the burn ing of sleeping car on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad near Pueblo recently, and the resulting deaths of several persons. John received his information over his own wireless telegraph set.
 John, who has long been an invalid, holds a United States government license as a wireless telegraph oper- ator. He often helps to while away the long hours in his bed by listening to what other wireless operators ere saying.
 On the morning of the wreck he heard the following message, coming from a point approximately a tkcus- and miles away: Big wreck, !Ien- yer Rio Grande road, Pueblo, Colo, Pullman burned. Twenty killed"
 His mother immediately called tLe office of the Gazette to tip" tue newspaper regarding the story but it was already being received over the Associated Press wires. Except for the number of deaths, which ac- tually was five, the message received by young Huston correctly gave all important facts concerning the wreck.

PROSPECTORS HEADING
 FOR CANADIAN NORTH

CALGARY, Alberta, April 12 (by Associated Press) Railroad trains running north from Calgary are car rying record loads of prospectors, geologists, adveuturers and others bound for Fort Norman in the far northern Mackenzie river valley of Canada, where oil in great quantities was discovered recently.
 Trains from Calgary carry the men to Peace river crossing, where, when summer comes and the winter ice leaves the rivers, they will go down the Mackenzie river by boat to the oil country.

Col. GotWals, citing the instance of the construction of the Cache creek-Talkeetna project along the Alaska railroad by which the ter ritory by appropriating $30,0O0 for launching the work early last year. made it possible. for the Alaska road commission to add $45,000 to the original allotment after it's an nual appropriation was available. The project, without such a cooperative agreement, could not have been start ed last year. The operators of the district, during the past winter, he said, saved $30,000 in freight charges on 500 tons of supplies shipped into Cache creek, or an amount equal to that expended on the road by the territory. He also declared had it not been for the territorys aid under cooperative agreements last year the Alaska road commission would have been compelled to withdraw entire ly from the Second division at that time.
 During the discussion of the matter Chairman Ross explained that it was the object of his bill to restore the road building power in divisional commissions instead of entering it in the territorial commission. He stated that the existing law had been met with considerable criticism in his and other districts.

HOPING PARKINSON.

Mark Twain once sat in the smoking room of a steamer and listened to some remarkable stories. Then he drawled: Boys, these feats of yours that you've been telling me about re- call an adventure of my own in Hanni- bal. Old Man Hankinson got caught in the fourth story of a burning house. It looked as if he was a goner. None of the ladders was long enough to reach him. The crowd stared at one another with awed eyes. Then all of a sudden, boys, an idea occur red to me. Fetch rope! I yelled. Somebody fetched a rope and with great presence of mind I flune the end of it to the old man. Tie her a. round your waistp l yelled. Old Man Hankinson did so, and I pulled him down."-Ladies Home Journal.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. 29. Light receipcs brought a fresh ad- vance Tn hog prices. The market for most of the better grades was above the 9 cent level, compared with a price range under 9 cents at the low point last week. Here cattle receipts were about the same as a week ago, but demand improved at stronger prices. Best killing grades sold read fly. Sheep receipts were in bunch es in Omaha and Chicago and sharp declines at those points brought low CT prices elsewhere.
 Today's Receipts.
 Receipts today were 18,500 cattle, 6.50O hogs and $500 sheep, compared with 20,500 cattle, 7,5O0 hogs and 12,- 900 sheep week ago, and 24,6OO cattle, 6,130 hogs, and 4,1OO sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle.
 Best grades of killing steers were 10 to 15 cents higher, butcher cattle strong to 25 cents higher, and veal calves up 50 cents. Ordinary to plain steers moved more freely at strong prices, and medium steers were strong to 10 cents higher. The general mar ket showed greater improvement than price advances indicated. The quicker movement over the scales, caused by larger killing demand to- gether with higher prices for beef, were factors in the improved trade. The bulk of the steers were from pas lures and they sold at $5.25 to $7.25. Fed steers sold up to $10.25. There was considerable shipping demand for butcher cattle. Veal calves sold up to $9.00.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Stockers were in moderate supply at strong prices. Feeders sold read fly, with good classes higher. The be- lief that prices are at the low point is improving demand.
 Hogs higher.
 Sheep and Lambs Lower.
 Lambs were 25 to 50 cents lower and sheep 25 cents lower. Western lambs sold at $S.50 to $8.8O, native lambs $500 to S8.50. Ewes sold most ly at s3.50 to $4.00, and feeding lambs $500 to $7.OO. Most of the offerings were good western lambs.
 Horses and Mules.
 Demand for horses and mules showed a moderate improvement, though prices were not quotably high CT. Better quality in offerings would stimulate trading.

THE CUTE CUSS AND
 TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS

Every week this paper and every
 other paper in the country has num-
 Der of errors-typographical and
 otherwise. That's one of the reasons
 a good many people think the editor
 should have been blacksmith. But
 what of the editors viewpoint? If
 there's one thing better calculated to
 turn rosy youth into dodder-old age
 than, for instance, to get death notices
 and weather predictions mixed so that
 the durned thing comes out in the pa-
 per "Mrs. William Williams died last
 night. She has gone where it is = 116 degrees in the shade and with rising temperature tomorrow" well-we'd like to know what, it is. Maybe you
 think it pleasant to walk down the street and hear some grinning idiot
 with a head like a German pancake and brain like an addled egg holding up the sheet to caustic criticism and the editor to conscienceless scorn!
 Maybe you think it's nice to hear some member of the vacuum family remark that the editor must make up his paper with shovel. Or some Pin head Percy wonder why the editor doesn't learn how to set type. No doubt you think it excruciatingly de- licious when an item announcing that Miss Merry Merryvale is to be led to the altar, gets into the paper as Hed by a halter" Funny, isn't it? Yes, it is! It depends on the point of view. Some people may think par alyzed man with the itch is the height of the ridiculous, but what does the paralyzed man thing about it? We are all apt to make mistakes. Don't forget that. What would you think if the editor put some of your mistakes into the paper? Remember when who slaves himself, came to church with fine patch of whiskers on his chin which he had overlooked? And when Mss
 let the shoestring on her switch hang down her back? And how Elder caught the tail of his long coat over the neck of the bottle in his hind pock- ct and went down the street showing that sometimes the strongest in faith are weakest in the flesh? But we have no intention of telling these things. As an editor we wouldn't be much of hair-pin if we were bent that way. Just remember though, that we are all prone to errors and the next time you see something in the paper which you regard as a sure sign of the editors feeble mindedness, just say the devil did it. and by heck, we'll back you up.-Marysville Advocate Democrat.

were sworn in and the jury given into their charge. The courtroom was turned over to the jury. The judge went home, leaving word that as soon as verdict was reached he was to be called back to the courthouse.
 A crowd hung around the court house and jail unth after midnight, believing that a. verdict would be reached inc few moments. The jur- ors could be seen through the windows of the upper floor of the building. The fences east and north of the building were lined with people who got some satisfaction, it seemed, from rubber ing up into the courtroom. But sleepiness and the chill night air final | ly drove the last rail-bird home to more comfortable roost. The pris- oners' father, it is reported, offered 70 bet thousand dollars that the yer dict would not be hanging. When Flagstaff awoke Saturday morning the first thought was of the jury and it's verdict. But there was no verdict. Rumors of all kinds were flying-that II were for hanging and 1 for acquittal, that II were for ac- quittal and for hanging, that 9 were for first degree and 8 for ac- quittal, and vice versa, until every one got good and sick of repeating unsupported rumors.
 Harry Nash, the defendant, was so sure he would ge free in few min utes that he asked the officers to let him remain in the courtyard until the jury reached their verdict, This was refused. So he sat in his cell, playing cards with some fellow-prisoners, un- til he, too, was overcome by sleepi- ness and retired.
 The defendant, in his cell, dressed himself with unusual care on Satur- day morning, packed all his belong ings, and sat down, confidently await ing word that the juiy had reached favorable verdict and he was going to go free.
 How he got the idea that, even if the jury did acquit him, he would be freed, is mystery; for had he been acquitted he would have been rearrest- ed immediately on the charge of stealing his victims Chandler car and watch.
 As the day wore on, Nash grew more and more worried. When Sun day morning came and it was an- nounced about ten o'clock that the jury were ready to render their verdict, he was very nervous and found it hard on the way to the courtroom to con- ceal his agitation.

The British miners strike is a
most striking confirmation of all the
revolutionary teaching of the past
ten or fifteen years. It is splen-
did object for the working
class lal over the world. 1t embraces
so many features of the struggles of
the workers for emancipation that
it must be held up to the workers
today as a lesson and WARNING!
In February, 1919, the British gov
ernment appointed royal commits
sion to investigate the coal industry.
This commission, at the head OF
which was Justice Sankey, rendered
its report in June, 1919, after more
than three months of intense inves-
tigajion. The report recommended gov
emment control for three years and
State ownership of mines. 1t recog-
nized that the industry was facing
severe struggle owing to the ire
menduous unrest in the country and
to "the constant strife between mo-
dern labor and modern capital" The
report was agreed to substantially
by Frank Hodges, who also was on
the commission.

the workers if need be to maintain
themselves as the ruling class. All
the implements of war, tanks,
machine guns, soldiers, extra police,
arsenals of small arms etc., were
brought into a number of cities to
be used as the final arbiters. The
bosses were prepared to maintain
their dictatorship over the workers
by the only resource Of any "de-
mocracy" if the workers grow re-
calcitrant.
Parades of workers, radicals, COM
munists and socialists were held in
a number of cities where the capital
ist class felt secure in granting such
permission. In other cities, notable
among them, Cleveland, where the
bosses maintain undisputed power
and weak and conservative labor
union movement rules, clearly under
the ideology of Gompers and his
reactionaries, no public manifesto
tions were held. The spirit Of
Labors' international Holiday how

some distributors, searches Of homes

man in his place In one or the other.
Those to whom the New York unions
would turn for aid are beneficiaries
of the present system of labor ex-
ploitation. Their interests lie with
the system and, as a general rule,
people do not allow their sympathies
to interfere seriously with their in
terests. They live in the camp Of
the enemy. Their material welfare
is bound up with those who aim to
destroy the unions.
No, the labor unions can get no
help in their struggle outside OF the
working class. More than that, they
need no other support. The working
class has the power not only to de-
feat the effort to destroy the unions
but to end the system of exploitation
altogether. The principal thing lack.
ing for the quick development OF
this power is the mistaken point OF
view illustrated by the program Of
the New York Central Body.
Let the labor unions put aside
their illusions; let them face the Is.
sue squarely and fight it out or
the basis of the class struggle. In
stead Of seeking peace when there
is no peace, and understanding
with those who do not want tc
understand, let them declare war or
the whole capitalist regime. That Il
the way to save the unions and t.
make them grow in the face Of ad
versity and become powerful wal
engines for the destruction OF cap
italism and the reorganization Of 80
ciety on the foundation Of working
class control in industry and govern
ment.

forceful personality to lead the 5. L..
P. into united Communist Party,
or perhaps the very strength of his
character might have been the cause
of his being expelled from his party.
In either case he would have res
ponded Loyalty to the call for unity
sent forth to every revolutionary Sec
ton from the Communist Interna-
tiOnal.
Zone of the tragedies of revolu-
tionary history is the melancholy po'
sition of the s. l.. p. in America and
Britain. A party which had prepared
the minds of thousands for the policy
now adopted by the Bolslkayiks; 4
! party which had played its Part with
| noble heroism and made the minds
of the masses ready to grasp the
tactics now enunciated by the Com
munist International-that party now
recoils with cowardice from the obi
cations which the revolution places
before it. Unable to play its part
it now withers away in chorus OF
scorn, losing branch after branch and
gradually sinks to oblivion amidst
the internecine squabbles Of its mis-
led members. And, as it fades away
eursing at revolutionary unity II
links up with ludicrous elements and
thus adds that touch of comedy
which is always associated with every
tragedy"
One must not wonder, why Com
rade Reinstein so vigorously attacks
the Party of which he formerly was
one of the most prominent leaders
Suffice it to take a glance at their
1920 Platform in which they appeal
to "all other INTELLIGENT ClTl'
ZENS to place themselves squarely
upon the ground of working class
interests" in order to make it pos
sible to place "the land and all the
means Of production, transportation
and distribution into the hands OF
THE PEOPLE AS A COLLECTIVE
BODY"
And this party still has the nerve
to call itself a Revolutionary po'
litical party This really "adds that
touch Of comedy which is always as
sociated with every tragedy"
