HELPS BOLSHEVISM
To Repress Free Speech
Says Taft

Atlantic City, N. J-Free discus
sion, rather than repression of prop
aganda, is the quickest method of
stamping out bolshevism and commun-
istic movements against government,
Henry P. Taft, brother of the ex-
president, told members of the New
Jersey Bar Association
The speaker upheld the espionage
act and the convictions under it as a
war measure, but declared that when
hostilities ceased freedom of speech
and press should have been immedi-
ately restored.
Experience shows" he said, chat
error, if repressed, gains strength.
The repression confirms it in those
who are forced to be silent, while
those who could dispel it lack the
opportunity.
"If such doctrines as these are sub
jected to the test of free discussion
they cannot flourish in this country.
"What is needed is free dissem-
nation of it's literature showing the
real nature of bolshevism, and frank
discussion which will enlighten the

PERPINCON'S
new FORD

Have you seen Herman Perpingon
flying around in his new Ford? Her
man is the business agent of the local
Carpenters Union. He has been "hoof-
ing" it around and at times using his
own car, but his organization recog-
nizing and appreciating the fact that
in Herman they have good, live
business representative, felt that this
wasn't fair so they generously pur-
chased a new Ford machine for his
use in the future. This gives him the
chance to cover the ground much
quicker and to the great benefit of the
members of his union. He is ready
to respond to any call no matter how
far it may be and at any hour. The
carpenters in this, like in all things
are up to the minute.

Toledo, Ohio-Warning certain en-
ployers to go slow in their efforts to
take advantage of the present indus
trial crisis to crush organized labor
and forecasting that if captains of
industry went much farther with their
program, they would bring upon their
head revolution, was the declaration
made by Secretary of Labor James j.
Davis in an address before the Ma
tional Hardware Lumber Association,
which held its convention in Phila-
delphia.
Try to Smash Unions
"Some great employers of labor,
said Secretary Davis, "now that jobs
are scarce and labor weakened, seem
to think the time has come to smash
the unions. They are all wrong. 1t
is neither possible nor safe. If they
crush the unions they will find in their
place secret organizations of the
widest type.

Baltimore Printing employers in

They announce that they will have

to take this position because of the
"abuse of power by union officials. .

Plaster Drops to Balcony and

-Four persons were injured and many
more were thrown into panic shortly
after 10 o'clock last night when heavy
piece of plaster three feet in diameter
dropped out of the ceiling and fell
among the occupants of the second
balcony of the Grand Opera Theatre,
Eighth avenue and Twenty-third street,
The theatre was in darkness at the
time. and the crash of the falling plaster
put the place in an uproar. Prompt
measures by the management prevented
a panis. The entertainment at the
theatre consists of both vaudeville and
motion pictures. and the lights had just
been switched off TO permit the showing
OF the picture when the plaster fell
A dozen persons probably would have
been injured IL an the seats in the
second balcony had been occupied. AS
II was, part of the plaster fell on vacant
seats. The injured were sent home after
they received medical attention from DR..

JEWS or CHORUS GIRL

Marriage as an institution was can
vassed last night from almost every
angle and BY specialists at a dinner
discussion held in the Hotel Astor by
tho Society OF Arts and Sciences
Views were given by the housewife
the divorced, the novelist, the chorus
girl the business woman, the lawyer
and the parson.
AS a rule the society permits speak
ers at its annual dinners 10 take up
and talk upon whatever subject they
desire. But last night, as John Luther
Long, toastmaster. said in his opening
remarks, it was decided to have but
one subject brought up. zone that is
an art in itself and requires the great
est of all sciences for success" The
subject was Marriage Is Success
Yes? No?"
Miss Jane Burr, author OF Letters OF
Dakota Divorcee,' gave the views OF
the divorcee. She recited three periods
OF marriage. First she took up the
period of savagery where she declared
love is made IN the tree tops. Then
she referred to marriage OF the bar
barous period. where the lovers came
down from the tree tops and made
spears. Last, the final period of mar
riage-called civilizatlon-was given,
which she termed as a period of open
warfare.
Divorce is good thing" she said, in
conclusion, but you should always have
a man around"
You know, there is no husband or
sorrow a chorus girl cannot cure" said
Daisy Frances Daniels of the 1.-Two Lit
tie Girls in Blue chorus. "But mar
riage is most successful when the mar
ried man remains away from the stage
door and permits the single man to win
the chorus girl"
Miss Eleanor Gilbert. a business wom-
an, argued that IL a woman had a busi-
ness career marriage was a drawback
She said that to fall in love is not busi-
ness but to remain in love is serious
business.
Justice Charles l.. Guy of the Supreme
Court and the Rev. A. r. Petty. pastor
Of the Judson Memorial Church viewed
the subject of matrimony from a serious
viewpoint. Justice Guy declared that
marriage of to-day was one great sue
cess because men consider their wives
their equals and do not include them in
their assets like their cattle as in earlier
periods OF the world
The Rev Mr.. Petty said thar although
IL seems that divorce is increasing lily
il is untrue that marriage as an institu-
tion is failing. 1T is the abnormal
things we read in the newspapers" he
said. land that is the reason we read OF
divorces. BECAUSE marriage is success
ful Is the reason II fails to get any play
in the columns OF our dailies."
Alexander Black, author OF "The
Great Desire" presented the views OF
the novelist and declared that although
1t was his business to build happy mar
riages for his stories. he felt sure most
of the marriages of life were of the
kind where the couples lived happily
ever after.

Agriculture
The recent hail storms destroyed d
considerable acreage that was in cot
ton. Not wishing to rc-plant that
crop, a number of farmers are think
ing of planting flax With that
thought in mind, inquiry has been
made as to the practicabiIity Of such
course.
The proposition is impracti"abIc
for the reason that fax would prove
to be an Improbable crop. The fiber
is no longer IN demand-only the
seed is in request All except ten
of twelve states, in the far West,
abandoned fax as a crop several years
ago
Here are few items as to flax
culture that may interest you: The
crop of 1909 amounted to 25,Sj6, 800
bushels; average yield per acre, "a
bushels; price per bushel. $1.52 The
crop of 1914 amounted to 1859, 600
bushels; average yield per acre, 80;
price per bu, $125. The crop of
1919 totaled $4,000 bushels; av-
orqgc yield per acre, 5.3 bushels
price, $4.39. The crop of 1920 to
tailed 100000 bushels; average
yield per acre, 60 bushels; price.
$l.7G per bushel. Note the small
average yield per acre, and the fact
that the price per bushcl in 1919 was
$3.50; that Of 1920, $1.75 per
bushel.
Early Orange or Amber Cane Elk
cclIcnt
Under the peculiar circumstances
above referred to, early orange or
amber cane would make an excellent
substitute for cotton. In common
parlancc, early orange and amber
are called sorghum. The truth is.
they are of the class of forage plants
known as lmphees. They are far
removed from old time sorghum.
Long before the War Between the
States, Gov J. II. Hammond Of
South Carolina, introduced amber
cane as an lmphcc into this country.
He demonstrated its adaptability to
Southern soil and its value as a for

plantation at Beech Island, S. G.
Either of the varieties named NAV

Ninety days from the date of plant

DAWSON PASTOR
TAKES HIDE Off
Flaws Street Dance At
Sale. And Card Party
Prizes

DAWSON, May 25.-The church
rules as read by Pastor Griffin of
the Methodist church Sunday night
were the basis for clear cut comment
on certain local conditions, and he
held the closest attention of the large
congregation. The speaker, while
endorsing in the highest terms the
recent Community Sale, fearlessly
and without gloves condemned the
street dancing, costumes worn by the
dancers, etc, which he characterized
as shame on the community. he
expressed surprise that such features
of entertainment should have been
put on by people of this splendid
community. Mr.. Griffin also paid
his respects to the custom in Daw-
son of playing for prizes at card par
ties. He quoted the decision of a
Supreme court judge chasing this
wit hthe lowest form of gambling.
He deplored the laXity on the part
of drug stores, in regard to violation
of the Sabbath by selling other than
articles necessary for the sick, and
classed as equally guilty of desccrat-
ing the holy day those who make pur-
chases. He declared the Methodist
church to be against all questionable
diversions and. the breaking Of the
Sabbath and made a strong appeal
to the members of the Dawson church
to stand uneompromisingly against
these forms of wordiness. The pas
tor delivered his message in spirit
of charity but with deep earnest
ness and force. He is upheld by
strong public sentiment in his ar
raignment of these evils by many
who fully agree with the position he
has taken. On the other hand he
has come in for a good share Of criti-
cism from those who do not hold his
pronounced views.
