You find your socialist in the
shop, where q man walks to his
machine in the morning, walks
away again in the afternoon. The
peasant is his own machinery, his
own factory. To own the land is
his dream. He wants no socialism.

Newspaper publishers will be
interested to know that the circu-
lation Of the Hearst Sunday news
papers has passed three millions.
The price everywhere is 10 cents.
For the Sunday edition only Of
the Hearst newspapers the people
Of this country pay Sis,60O, 900
every year, apart from the amount
paid for advertising.
Such figures would surprise the
POOR old workers Of Grub street,
and also the fact that Of all diff
ferent kinds Of work, business and
industry, the highest salary of
any kind in the United States is
paid by daily newspaper.
Mr.. Hoover informs the world
that he does not approve of Amer
lean business relations with Rus
sia. His reasons for the solemn
opinion seem no clearer than the
reasons q little girl in pantalettes
might give for not speaking" to
some other little girl. The New
York Times calls Mr.. Hoover's
statement ian official declaration
of the policy of the Harding Ad-

In the prison to which Connolly

One big railroad in this country
is losing more than million dol
lars a day. That's unpleasant
news, but not surprising, with the
bottom dropped out of the steel in
dustry. In Canada the steel COM

common sense. The way to run
business is to cut down expenses
