nothing of the White Terror" he
said What the Reds did looked
pale when compared with what the
whites did"
Maj. Mertz was director in charge
OF the Trans Siberian railroad for
the allies during the last two years
of the war. "The White cadets" he
said, were really those favoring the
old czarist regime" Maj. Mertz told
how officers of the White army loaded
tho people into trains with rawhide
whips, slashing them numerically.
Inside OF number of armored trains
which the Whites had, he declared

these horrors they faced the worse
one of digging their own graves at the

shot down with machine guns.
Il am not in accord with the soviet

done to bring greater respect for the
bench should be done.
But amendments such as that Of

too idealistic to he given considera-

prevent any member of Congress from
appearing in cases where the Govern

representing a corporation engaged
in interstate commerce-as suggest
ed by Senator Borah. This is quite
as possible as the disqualifying Of
jurors who have financial or other
personal interest in the case to be

Certainly public officials, if anyone,
should not be allowed to serve two
masters where the practical demands
of life make it possible to hold them

jest RUMINATIN'."
(Robert Russell.)

A Teller doesn't think a lot
what influences him; the things
that make him what he is seem
so almighty dim. He doesn't
realize his talk is decent OF is
not accordin' to the. folks he
knows-the sort O. friends he's
got. He doesn't realize the
things he sees or what he
reads, good actions in his daily
life, or rotten thinkin', breeds.
But from my ruminatin' pipe
there comes a talkin' cloud
that seems to hold suggestions
which il wants to speak aloud.
"A man or woman learns lots
more" ii kind o. seems to sing,
from his environment than
when he studies out a thing.
Unconsciously he gathers in
the habits o. the chaps that he
is with most every day-the
ones he likes, perhaps. He
looks at life through lots o
eyes: is his own CROWN weak?
Is he absorbin' things he thinks
a Teller ought to seek?" That
briar pipe don't try to preach
q sermon: IL amt fit, but when
dream comes in the smoke
il makes the most of it. An
so today that smoky cloud jest

things in life may pick and choose the
fragrant things of Iife-the clean
things. They are content. Yet they
arc ignorant.
\ The people who cannot have the
best things in lifo are ignorant OF
the joys Of cleanliness in mind and
thought-they do not know the thrill
ing fragrance of that other life.
The lucky ones are ignorant of the
hopes and aspirations of the less
fortunate. The lucky ones do not
realize that their brothers and sisters
take the more sordid pleasure of life
because they may find nothing else
nothing else seems open to them.
Those lucky ones wear pretty clothes,
or fine suits-and arc as fond of them
az much as the others care for their
less expensive fnery.
The less fortunate wear SNOWY
clothes because they see people who.
like themselves. know of no way OF
having tho pleasure youth cravea ex-
cept by attracting attention and en-
joying the fruits OF attention. They
have no conception OF The other world

Each class misunderstands the
other. Tho unfortunate ones think
the others are SLOW and ''prim."
perhaps. They are not. The fortunate
ones believe the others arc degraded
that they possess no thought ex-
cept that of pleasure to he gained at
any sacrifice. They were not thus in
the beginning. Degradation may
come. but only after long struggle
and only through the influence Of
others they meet daily who started
with pure thought. and who, in the
end, succumbed.
The less fortunate of young men
and young women arc held fast. They
cannot seek out tho more fortunate.
The lucky" ones may seek out the
others. Let them do so. Let them
not moralize and patronize. Perhaps
the same moral standard governed
each class i'm the beginning. The lucky
ones were protected-they found hap
piness and pleasure and excitement
through right channels. The unlucky
ones were not protected. They found
pleasure and excitement through any
channels that were open.
Not every one in either class is like
this; there are exceptions.
May the day come when each Will
meet the other-when the ignorance
of both will be dispelled.

FATAL HEAD-ON CRASH

Officials OF the Washington, Balti-

are today investigating thes cause Of
the accident on the Annapolis Short
Line branch yesterday which caused
the death of John A. Pearson, thirty.
eight years old, of 81S Fourteenth
street northeast, and James White,
thirty-five years old. of Baltimore.
Pearson. who was conductor of a
work train, was killed instantly. while
White. who was the motorman. died
on the way to Naval Hospital at An
napolis.
The accident occurred shortly after
o'clock when passenger car pass.
ing Revel Station collided with a work
train going in the opposite direction.
Failure of the work train to take a
siding caused the collision, officials
said. This is the second accident OF
the kind on the Short Line in the
three months since the road was
taken over by the Washington, Bal.
timore and Annapolis line.
