A NEW BIBLE?

the Word to the manifold tribes
of men, has done all that mortal
mind may do in making universal
any one faith and in bringing to
all men a more or less regular ac-
ceptance of one Bible.
And the Mother Church" has
done this by keeping in the hands
of the priest the word, and by
melting out to the various peoples
the Interpretation Of the word
that seemed suited to them.
And, after hundreds of years
of earnest, efficient endeavor,
there are vast areas about as i'm
pervious to the teaching Of Christ
as when the first missionary
braved the head-hunters and
famed the gospel forth in the will
derness of heathenism.
The Bible has wrought its won
ders because men believed in its
inspiration, otherwise it would
have died ages ago, and no man.
made compilation, that is one adj
mittedly man-made, can ever
light a zeal in ten thousand souls
to carry its gospel to all the peo-
pies.
If the old Bible has failed don't
blame it on the Bible.

THE suggestion of II. G.. Wells
L that the world needs a new
Bible will meet with warm APP
prevail, and also with warm excor-
iation, but probably neither side
to the controversy will see the
real reason for the certain failure
of the Wells plan.
Leaving aside the question of
the Bibles inspiration, and the
near certainty that no confessed
ly man-made book could supplant
it with vast multitudes of believ-
ers, the real barrier will be that
there is as much difference be-
tween the tribes of men as be-
tween plus and minus.
The gems for the new Bible
that would thrill and inspire and
edify and instruct the English
man and the American would be
mere rough words without soul to
the Asiatic, and the emotions that
stir eastern adept and Oriental
mystic to profound worship are
alien to the western mind and
heart.

CAPITALISTS RESPONSIBLE
FOR ECONOMIC WASTE.

New York.-The vaunted "efficien-
cy' of Americas great industrial
hangers has received another un-
expected showing-up at the hands OF
the committee on elimination Of waste
in industry of the American engineer
ing council. The committee, in its
latest report, points out that idle men
and machinery in the metal trades
are causing a loss Of about one bill
lion dollars year.
The report declares that invcstlga-
tion has disclosed that the main
causes Of this colossal waste are faul-
ty management and failure to find a
working basis for dealing with labor,
which It terms the "major factor in
most II not all industries"
Two million men are needlessly
thrown out Of work every year in the
metal trades, the report sets forth,
as a result Of which alone there is an
annual waste Of $io0,0oo,ooo.
ut Is estimated that at present;
the report continues, 'about so per
cent Of the responsibility for waste,
or non-production, rests with manage
ment--i. O.. with the managers and
executives Qf the plants"

Socialist Party No Longer Able to
Represent Workers"

:
The recent convention Of the So
cialist Party of America, revealed to
the workers two significant things:
first, that the Socialist Party has lost
all touch with reality and second,
that it has abandoned the revolution.
All along, the Socialist Party has
preached the revolution, without,
evidently, understanding what it real
ly means and without in the slightest
comprehending the method of revolu-
ton. Since the Socialist Party is made
up chiefly of professionals lawyers,
doctors, journalists and teachers pre-
dominating) and shop keepers, the
party enters only specifically into
the labor problems.
The Socialist Party knows quite
we'll that the moment party under
takes to work on those problems
fundamentally. 1t will meet with the
united opposition Of the capitalist
class and government. Hence, rather
than court this struggle, the Socialist
Party leaves the workers to solve
their labor troubles themselves, while
the party parades about with empty,
harmless phrases about democracy,
freedom etc. Having become emin-
emily respectable in the eyes Of the

British Communists Enter Elections.

British Communists Enter Elections.
For TIE first time the British Com
munist Party will participate in the
parliamentary elections as Com
munist party.
The British Communists endeavored
to affiliate with the Labor Party Of
that country. At first they were dis
inclined to do so, believing that they
would be compromising their princi-
pies, or, owing to their numerical
weakness, would be absorbed by the
Laborites.
Following the advice Of Lenin how
ever, they applied for admittance but
were rejected. Fear was entirely on
the side of the Laborites, who knew
that entrance Of the Communists into
their ranks meant propaganda for
the conversion of the Laborites to
Sovietism and the dictatorship Of the
workers as a revolutionary principle.
The rejection of the Communists
clarifies the issue. The Laborites have
been placed in the position of COM
batting the revolution. Ramsey Mac
Donald, their avowed reformist lead
err, acknowledged this.
The British Communist Party now
enters the parliamentary arena as the
representative of the revolutionary
workers Of England. There is to be a
bi-election at Caerphilly to fill seat
made vacant by the death Of labor
representative, who was elected in
1918 by a majority Of 1000. Ramsey
Macdonald, or Frank Hodges, the be-
trayer of the late miners strike, have
been suggested as candidates for the
Laborites. Considering the unemployed
crisis in England and the failure Of
the Laborites to force the government
toward radical relief measures, the
Communist candidates will have all
the best Of the campaign.

Rank and File Threatens General
Strike in Frisco.

Rank and File Committees have
been organized in 81 unions compos-
ing the San Francisco Building Trades
Council. The purpose is to formulate
plans for fighting the open shop
movement.
About two months ago strike
started when employers cut the wages
paid to 10 Of the crafts in the build
ing trades by Z per cent. A complete
tie-up resulted. Recently the bosses
announced that the American plan"
would henceforth prevail in San Fran
cisco. This is the high-sounding name
the bosses have given the open shop
movement.
A mass meeting has been called for
the early part of August to acquaint
and educate the workers in their
duties as members of the rank and
file. The Rank and File Committee
has corps Of 100 speakers out, agi-
tating for the general strike.
AS a matter of course, the move
ment is repudiated by the present Of
ficers of the Building Trades Council,
who call it insurgent Wherever the
rank and file seek to wrest control out
of the hands of reactionary union
leaders, they are dubbed outlaws.

Dangerous inequalities exist be-
cause of special privilege in various
forms. chief of which is the privilege
of excluding others from enjoyment Of
their inherent natural right to the use
of the earth, except in exchange for an
enforced toll, either in rent or purchase
price thereof.
The remedy lies in the removal of
special privilege, not in preaching, in

the victims of unjust policies, nor flat

$1,000 PER ACRE
is BERRY PROFIT

Hammond, La, June lS.-In May,
1920, Charles Ekker planted 344
strawberry mother plants, as basis
for the 1921 season. Out of this
patch, they sold 1927 worth of plants
to other farmers, and the remaining
plants were planted on one and one
eighth acres of land. During the past
season, this patch yielded 875 crates
ct highest grade Strawberries, which
&eught returns of $2,527.99, which,
together with the returns from the sale
Rot plants, amounted to a gross return
of $2,654.99 from the one and three
sIxteenths acres of berries. -
If somebody asks how it was done,
the answer is: With $50 worth Of
agricultural implements, and the pro-
per system. Figuring the number Of
plants originally plantel. gives a gross
return of $500 from each strawberry
plant. Mr.. Ekker is one of the most
successful strawberry growers of Tan
gipahoa Parish. and adheres to the
principle of planting only very small
acreage and giving each individual
plant the proper attention and care.

PRANCING AND DANCING

Have you, ever seen a high-spirited
horse, full Of vitality and mettle? How
it prances about, and is full of ardor
to go, and when given chance, it
generally gets somewhere-and takes
you along, provided he is kept well in
hand.
Men and women. full of life, high
spirited, also feel this impulse of ac-
tivity, and dancing is one of the most
delightful methods of indulging it, and
helps effectively in socializing a com
munity and welding it together.
Those who inveigh against dancing
and never engage in it don't know
what they are missing
Last Saturdays dance at Newllano
was as usual charming affair, and
all who attended enjoyed it to the ut

and when properly combined they
make life worth living. People at
