Socialism or Anericanism? +?

AT the QdLlOudl COuVeuLlOH VI oo-
seialists which opened Saturday In
"a high school building In Detroit,
Michigan, contest began between
those members Of the organization
who favor the internationalism which
! is embodied in the Third Interna-
,tionale, involving complete subservi-
ence to Moscow, and those Socialists
who would retain the independence
of their party in the United States
and seek through the ballot to put
their theories into effect.
The advocates of internationalism
would accept the leadership of LIE
NINE and TRoTzKY in spite Of the
fact that the Russian autocrats them
selves, being to-day in considerable
doubt as to what that leadership Is
accomplishing even in Russia, are
, logging it back to sane capitalism as
fast as they are able in their en-
feebled condition. The Socialists In
opposition to this programme at De-
troit have no desire to tie themselves
up with a discreditable philosophy
which has led it's adherents through
an orgy of bloodshed to material,
intellectual and moral bankruptcy.
1sa Whatever the outcome of the strug-
gle at Detroit may be It need not
alarm any thoughtful, patriotic Amer
Jean. The political history Of the
United States for the last three years
Ilproves one thing beyond doubt. 1t
proves that the people Of this coun-
try, by a majority so overwhelming
that it renders the minority neg
4 ligible in voting power and would
make it ridiculous IL that minority
I should resort to violence. will have
/ neither Marxism nor International
: ism In the administration Of its do
I nestle or external affairs. The good
natured tolerance with which pro-
ponents of revolution were treated
only short time ago has disap-
peared. The easygoing Indifference
once Characteristic of the American
attitude toward open and covert enc
mics of American institutions has
been replaced by a firm determine
tion to defend those institutions Wig
orously whenever it seems necessary.
If there is any doubt about this in
the mind OF anybody, Socialist or
anti-Socialist, he can remove 1t by a
brief examination of the record. That
record discloses the collapse of such
organizations as the 1. w. W., failure
of the Socialists to receive the vote
they confidently expected, unfailing
Endorsement OF crusades undertaken
against persons and organizations
suspected Of anti-national purposes
and deeds, failure of the steel strik-
ers to win public support, popular
smashing of the outlaw railroad
strike and scores of other incidents
of similar significance.
Whether the Socialists vote at De.
troit to destroy their party by going
over to Moscow body, boots and
breeches, or decide to attempt to use
the instruments of successful demo
cratic government to bring chaos to
the country, their performances will
not be worth the attention OF any
body except those who can derive
amusement from economic lunacy
and political imbecility.

Maoaulay Read as He walked.

From Hd MunoHestsr UtdTdfdr.
Maoaulay like Shelley was in the habit Of
reading as he walked the London streets.
According 10 his biographer. ''hs could
neither swim, nor row. nor drive. nor skate.
nor shoot" He seldom crossed q saddle,
and never willingly. The only exercise In
which he can be said 10 have exceiled was
that OF threading crowded streets with his
eyes fixed upon book. He might be seen
In such thoroughfares as oxford street and
Cheapside. walking as fast as other people
walked. and reading great deal faster
than anybody else could read.

You are the river,

You hurry ever
On to the sea

But I must stay
On the bank forever;
And. II my roots
Are loosened ever,
Only the dry.
Dead husk Of me
Can follow the gay.
wild road TO the sea.
My heart must beat
In the earth forever.

Public Speech Not Dead.

Woodrow Wilson says THE age OF
oratory has not passed nor will II pass
as long as there are human rights
to be defended AS long as there are
human rights to be defended; as long
as there are great interests TO be
guarded; as long as the welfare of
Nations Is q matter for discussion
so long will public speaking have Its
place"
The greatest public forum of today
is the Chautauqua platform. In 1920
there were 511 lecturers employed
constantly In the Lyceum and Chau-
tauqua and these 511 lecturers deliv
cred 46,36S lectures. More people
attended Chautauqua lecture courses
than attended any other public meet
ings with the exception Of the
churches and the moving pictures.
There was an aggregate Of 35.OO,OOO
admissions In American Chautauquas
in 1920 and practically everyone OF
these heard a lecture of some kind
or another at the Chautauqua.
The ChautauQua platform is the
only free platform. free from sectari-
anism. partisanism and sectionalism.
Any man who has real message can
thus get an audience and a hearing.
This Is one reason why the ,Chautau-
qua movenmet will live and grow.

FIGHTERS /
AND FIGHTERS

Fistic fans are specializing at live
ly rate on the result of the coming
fight between Georges Carpenter, the
French war hero, and Jack Dempsey,
the American Fighter" who failed to
fight for his country.
The money is on Dempsey, but pop
ular sympathy and favor is unquestion
ably with the Frenchman.
National pride should prompt a per
son to root for his countryman, pro-
vided that countryman is one worthy
of the name
But
Carpenter quit fighting in the ring
in order to fight the enemies of his
country.
He is a man, regardless of what
some may think of his calling.

What IT COSTS
To RAISE
PUREbRED Pigs

The Wisconsin State College of Ag-
riculture is conducting demonstra-
tions to determine how much it costs
to raise pigs at weaving time, under
average farm conditions. The first of
the demonstrations was held at the
home of Theo. J. Kurtz, near Cedar
burg.
Six Berkshire sows had been select
ed last fall, for the demonstration.
They were weighed November 18th,
about the time of breeding for their
spring litters. An account of the feed
given them from then to the time the
pigs were eight weeks old, was, kept.
The sows and their pigs were weighed
separately when the pigs were eight
weesk old.
One of the sows lost all her spring
litter, but one pig, which was put in
with the filters of the other five. There
were in all, five sows and thirty-six
pigs on which complete records were
kept
The cost of the feed from the time
the sows were bred until the pigs were
eight weeks old, was $98.62. Every
thing was charged at full market
price. The cost of the pigs at weaving
time was 1928 each.
The sows gained 263 pounds. They
weighed more when the pigs were
eight weeks old than they did when
they were bred last fall This gain
was figured as being worth seven
cents pound, as that was the mar
ket price. The books show that it
cost five and a quarter cents a pound
to put on this gain, or one and three
quarters cents a pound profit.
The outstanding thing of the whole
demonstration was, that purebred
Berkshire pigs could be raised to
weigh an average of thirty-three and
one-third pounds at cost of 1928
each, in Wisconsin, under average
farm conditions. No effort had been
made to push them.
In a pasture-lot were some gifts,
narrowed September II, 1920 They
were eight months old the day of the
meeting and weighed 255, 260 pounds.
In another lot were three young boars
'litter-mates of the gifts, that weighed
240, $50 and 200 pounds. All of these
and more, had been fed by Mr.. Hurts
in connection with his regular farm
work. He has no help.
The demonstration proved conclu-
sively that Wisconsin farmers can uti-
lie their waste dairy products and
raise purebred Berkshires at cost
that will permit them to sell the culls
for pork at profit, and have the best
for breeding stock, at the same cost.
The State College is collecting data
to show that much of the dairy by
products now going to waste can be
fed to hogs at a profit. There is no
reason why Wisconsin should not rank
along with Iowa and Illinois, as hog
raising state.

interesting chautauqua Facts.

Bishop Vincent originated the Chau-
tauQua idea In 1874 at Chautauqua
Lake, New York. This movement
grew and spread slowly until there
were several hundred Chautauquas in
1904. In 1905, the first circuit Chau-
tauqua was organized and since then
the growth has been much faster. Last
year. 1851 towns conducted circuit
Chautauquas with $1,000 programs
and admissions aggregating IS, 449. $50.
This summer will see the number large
Iy increased.

700 YEARS
AND STILL
Fighting

Ireland has been fighting intermit-
tently for something like seven hun
dred years for freedom.
1t has been long fight, in the face
of every possible Encouragement and
obstruction.
The Irish, like our own people of the
original thirteen colonies, want the
right to govern themselves. Some day
they will have it.
Ireland is in constant state of tur-
MOL, and with a huge army maintain
ed to keep it in subsection, can be of
but little value to England. But free
Ireland, with reciprocal trade relations,
might be a profitable neighbor.
Certainly a people who have been
kicking up the dust" for 700 years
will hardly remain quiescent as long
as the same blood flows in their veins.
England might let go of her hot
poker with distinct advantage to her
self.

MARTHA STOUT TRtMBL.E

Few women have Travelled so widely
or had such opportunity for observa-
ton as Mrs. Trimble, who holds
unique place among American women
lecturers. For fifteen years her lee
lures, sermons and addresses have at
tracted attention and stirring comment
in cities from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, as we'll as in Australia New Zea-
land, Mexico. Canada and on ship
board on the high seas. She possesses
rare charm on the PLATFORM not
always found among speakers Of her
sex, in that she avoids all masculine
mnnnerisms, preferring to remain al
ways a woman. In power, scholarship
and personality she easily ranks
anong the leading women speakers
In America.

Not by any means least among the
many happy events which are to come
with the Chautauqua, which is soon to
be held, is the presence of that stall
Wart lecturer and Chautauquan, Will
liam FOrkell. He comes on the third
day. Forkell Is a deep thinker and
a man of wide observation and inter-
est, who goes out with living issues
to the people and talks them over
frankly. While yet in the prime of life,
with all his powers at their best, he
brings to his service the experience
of twenty-five years of public work
on the rOstrum. A naturally fiery or
atOr, he has perfected from out of his
experience a style eloquent, inspiring
and forecful, always freighted with
thought that glistens with pungent
truth. Mr. Forkell's purposes are ed
vocational, inspirational, patriotic. His
wonderfully rich, deep voice gives his
well-rounded sentences the cadence of
music.

Filling a Real Need.

After all Is said and done, life does
not rise above our amusements. These
