NO REMEDY WHEN THERE'S
"NOBODY HOME

A fourteen-year-old girl in New
Jersey shot herself dead after her
father had given her a whipping.
"Such tragedies of sensitive immatu-
rity," says the New York Sun, seem
beyond a remedy"
1t does seem so. OF course, a man
who will strike a person smaller and
weaker than himself is usually looked
upon as a coward, and the law, not to
speak about outraged spectators has
been known to attempt a remedy for
cowardice.
But the main idea is this: A grown
up person is supposed to have brains.
Mature brains, if they are any good
at all, can easily exercise mastery
over the undeveloped brains of a
child and manage that child. Thus,
a person who strikes a child publicly
admits that his brains are no better
than the child's and that it is neces-
sary therefore for him to use brute
strength on the young one. Sad TO
say the law can't give a man brains.
No, there seems to be no remedy
when there's nobody home"

ACCIDENT SHOWS NEED OF
RAILROAD CROSSINGS

The accident OF last Saturday af-
ternoon, when a local woman was
struck by a. Reading express train at
Second street, erves to forcibly re-
mind us of the grave danger at this
and other streets of the city. Ad-
mittedly, the point at which the wo-
man mel death is the property of the
railroad, and the company has for
several years had warning signs post
ed, calling the attention of pedestri-
ans to the fact that to use this prop
erty as a th%oroughfare would be tres
passing. The long stretch between
the Shore Road and the New Road
at which two streets regulation cross
ings eXist-makes it very i%nconveni-
cnt for residents living bstween these
two thoroughfares, and who have to
cross the tracks to reach the business
district of the town. At some central
point between the two highways,
there should be erected an overhead
crossing, and the expense of this i'm
provement should be borne jointly by
the railroad and the city. Pleasant.
vile is growing with such rapidity
hat facilities in this particular line
are growing more essential every day
Let the city fathers bring this matter
to the attention of the Reading off,
Gals without delay, and see If this
nuisance cannot be abated.

As The Editor Sees 1t
"cHE-kAv. THE BLACK HORROR.

"cHE-kA", THE BLACK HORROR.
"che-kao is a name for the world to
remember. 1t is the name by which
the Extraordinary Commission is
known in Russia. "Che-ka" knows no
law, no human mercy, no God in heav-
en- and no devil in the universe ex.
cept itself. Neither Lenin, o Trotz-
ky nor any other body in Russia has
power over "Che-ka." Its acts of
murderous ferocity cannot be ques-
toned by anybody.
Just now "Che-ka" is standing Rus
sian farmers up in rows and shooting
them down because they protest az
ainst the "requisitions"-that is, the
seizure of the food they have raised
seized to feed the loafing communists
in the cities who work not and there
fore have nothing to give in return
for the farmers hard-earned crops.
. The jails of Russia are crammed
full of the victims of "Che-ka"-far-
mers, workingmen, teachers, writer's;
tens of thousands of people suspected
by the ignorant, fanatical illiterates
who compose the Extraordinary Com
mission. All Europe is full of stories
of torture and horror that come from
the loathsome dungeons-stories that
far outrival the Siberia brutism of
the despotic days of the Cars.
Some day the common people of
Russia will gain control of their coun-
try. When that occurs, and they hunt
down and hang the uncomfortable
devils that compose "Che-ka," you
will hear a cry go up from the Amer
terror in Russia. Faugh!

THE GOLD THAT IMMIGRATED.

lightweight million dollars worth
of gold arrived in the United States
in August, bringing the total since
January l up very close to half a
billion dollars.
Prof. Irving Fisher, the Yale econo.
mist, and his followers insist that
when gold becomes plentiful, prices
of commodities rise and speculation
and imitation follow. Well, there has
been a slight rise in prices since July
/, but nothing remarkable. And GER
tainly speculation has been as dead
as a last years fly. So this gives the
school of economists opposed to Fish
er's views a chance for a glorious
gloat.
But perhaps Fisher is right, be-
cause the half billion OF gold which
has floated to our shores in eight
months has had 10 chance to show
its speed. The Federal Reserve
banks have simply trapped it on its
arrival and thrown it into their dun
~geons-their vaults. None of the gold
has been placed in circulation as
money, MOI used as the basis of ex-
pansion of notes or credits or loans.
In other words, it a have had no
more effect on business or prices than
SO much gold ore buried far beneath
the surface of the ground.
AT present we are not saying that
