"There are no laws in Russia to-
day, and the Government is enforced
by DEGREES. And the DEGREES are en-
forced by the revolutionary con-
science of the Communist party. AS
for the party, it is the real aristocracy
of Russia today and it is one of the
most exclusive organizations which
have ever been organized in Russia.
"The party is not composed of work.
ing people, for whenever a working
man is admitted he either takes a po-
litical or a military job. The party
members distinguish themselves from
the rest of the population by either
wearing a badge with the Communist
emblem embroidered or revolver on
Sam Brown belt. AS members of the
party are the only persons in Russia
permitted to wear revolvers the Com
munists are rather a distinguished
crowd
1.-THE party is one of the best dis
ciplined organizations in the world, for
there is seldom but one punishment
for all offenses. That is death. There
are very few Russian Communists in
prison in Russia today. And any per-
son of influence in Russia today is
a Communist"
When asked what his next move
was going to be Captain Cooper con-
fided that he was going to Poland to
get his discharge and then he was
going home to Florida to become an
epicure.

POISON PAPERS
Of Anarchists
BACK IN MAILS
CBy Associated Press)

Washington, May 31.--Postal pro-
hibitions against the Milwaukee Lead
err and New York Call, two socialist
newspapers, were withdrawn today by
Postmaster General Hayes, who re-
stored them to second class mailing
privileges. The action was in line
wit hthat recently taken in the case
of the Liberator, periodical pub
lished in New York City.
Orders cancelling the second class
mail privileges of the publication were
issued by Postmaster General Burle-
son late in 1917, after an inquiry in
which Mr.. Burleson said had shown
that through articles published each
had violated provisions of the espion-
age act.
The Liberator successor to the
Masses, ceased publication soon af-
forwards, the publishers announcing
they were unable to bear the addi-
tional burden imposed by the third
class rate. Both the Leader and the
Call carried their fight to the courts.
The Milwaukee paper, upon refusal
of the supreme court of the District
of Columbia to issue a writ of man.
damus to compel the postmaster gen.
eral to restore the cancelled privi-
leges, applied to to the supreme court
of the United States where the lower
court was upheld.

SOCIAL A BIG
EVENINGS FUN

The second inter-church social
given under the auspices of the Pa
latka Community Service was held
last night at the Woman's Club. A
large and enthusiastic crowd took adj
vantage of this opportunity to sing
and play the old fashioned social and
recreative games that mean so much
to the health and we'll being of all.
The program was planned and di-
rected by the Philatheas of the Pres
byterian church with Mrs. C. E. o.
Conner chairman of the committee.
She was ably assisted by Mrs. ]. H.
Millican and Fred Merrill. The enter
tainment was opened by singing, but
until the Baptist Philatheas marched
in in a body. Each was tagged with
a card designating their class. The
singing was led by Neegly Teeters and
Charles Bennett. Mrs. E. L. Mann
accompanied on the piano. The fea-
ture of the singing was a number of
the old rounds, among which were,
"Scotland's Burning" and "Three
Blind Nice. A number of circle and
folk games were then played all of
which caused much amusement.
During the intermission the guests
were entertained with two very charm
ing solos rendered by Mrs. Frank
Logan, accompanied by Mrs. R. S.
O'Haver.
The evening closed with that fam
Gus old nursery game that has gain
ed so much favor at these socials,
"Leeby Lee. Dixie was then sung
and the guests disbanded after giving
a rousing cheer for the Presbyterian
Philatheas whose social all agreed
was a hugh success. Announcement
was made of the next church social
that is to be held in two weeks with
the Methodists in charge.

TAMPA WOMAN'S
DEATH MYSTERY

Tampa, May 31.-The coroner's
jury which considered the death of
Mrs. Aurora Hernades, an aged white
woman whose body was found lying at
the edge of a pond about sixteen
miles north of the city ten days ago
today rendered a verdict that the
cause of her death was unknown. The
woman had wandered away from her
sons home in this city at night, he
stated When found, the body was
clad only in a night robe. How the
woman could pass through the city
in such garb and through a thickly
settled rural district and not be
noticed is a mystery.

of the peasat smuggler who agreed
to get us into Latvia for the price of

"The entire family sleeps on these
ovens during the winter anil beneath
there is generally space for few
pigs or calves. We were up there for
twenty-four hours and the lieutenant
slept most of the time and kept me
busy holding his nose to stifle his
snores when the family was receiving
Red soldier callers.
Lenine Most Popular
"My information about Russia was
gathered from the influx and out
flow of the prisoners in the various
prison camps where / was stationed
and also from the peasants whom /
met during the winter when | worked
on railroads entering Moscow and
during my escape.
"Lenine is still the most popular
man in Russia today and his personal
following far outnumbers Trotsky. He
is idolized and his pictures are found
in every conceivable place. Other pic
lures and posters bear quotations from
his speeches which are accepted by
the peasants like the gospel, as che
negroes say in Florida"
According to Captain Cooper travel
ers in Russia today will see two pic
lures of Lenine to every one of Trot-
sky. A favorite poster is one depict
ing Karl Marx in the center and
flanked with two smaller pictures of
the Russian leaders. Trotsky, Cooper
declares, has not the confidence of the
masses of the people that Lenine has,
and many persons expressed the opin-
ion that the biggest single factor hold
ing the Russian government today is
Lenine's personal prestige.
"The propaganda section is another
of the few efficient branches of the
government. There is scarcely per-
son with whom l talked in Russia who
is not more or less affected by this
propaganda. At the present time
among the workers and the peasants
there is bitter hatred against the En-
tente. Wherever l have been the Allies
are pictured on posters as being the
real causes of the present misery in
Russia.
However, the feeling toward Amer
lea is even friendly. .
"Many Communists told me that
they regard a revolution in the United
States as remote possibility and
that they think our country must
change to Communism by a general
process of evolution.

side of organized baseball; the Tampa
Cuban Giants and the Lakeland teams.
Captain DeLysle says of his team:
"We have a splendid team, the men
being all gentlemen Four or five of
them will bring their wives with
them and there will be undoubtedly
ten or fifteen cars accompanying the
team from here"
Some of the members of this team
and last year manager of the Orlando
are: Donnelly, formerly of Lakeland
team, catcher; Monk, last year with
the Saint Louis Cardinals; Elrod,
formerly pitcher for Lakeland; Blount,

land last year; Moger, center field;
Stone, Stroup, and Montgomery,
fielders.

locals this afternoon. There will be
several other changes in the lineup
of the locals. Villarino will be back at
his old position on short and Jack
son will be at the third sack. Hogan,
a new man who is we'll recommended
to the management, will appear in
Inform for the first time and will
probably play one of the outfield po-

That Are And Are Not Kept

About the time the old year passes
away and the new born year comes
into view almost everyone, rich, poor
and those otherwise financially sit
uated make a bunch Of New Years
resolutions. This used to be quite the
thing, but the last few years, some
people have stopped this practice,
owing to the fact that few Of the res
olutions are kept anyway and there
is no use in wasting brain power.
Still, there are enough people max
ing resolutions, from force of habit
no doubt, to keep the practice alive
and healthy. The most common or
garden variety of resolutions, and
those broken most easily are about
saving money, quitting the use of to-
bacco in any form, getting to work on
time, ETC., etc. The resolution of
keeping on the water wagon, which
used to rank foremost in the list of
resolutions broken after the second
Ct third day of the year, has become
almost extinct, because there isn't any
other kind of wagon to be on for most
people now, even though lemon ex-
tract is still sold in grocery stores.
All the resolutions kept nowadays
those things that would be done
anyway, the only reason for their be-
ing called resolutions is to make peo-
pie feel in their W minds and give.
them something to pity themselves
for, or to tell about at a meeting of a
mutual admiration society or a SIM
liar organizations.
