Thomson. after checking up police statistics IN the

The rise in American crime began the 'sos and in

COMMUNISM A FAILURE.
he Washington Posi-.

From the washington POSt.
The Workers Party OF America
indulges in contradiction OF term:
when 1t reports that its recent con-
vention devoted itself ito construc-
tive work of building a powerful
revolutionary movement in Amer
ioa." and also in hyperbole. To
dub the revolutionary agitation OF
communists constructive" Is COM
parable with calling white black or
what is bitter sweet or the foot the
head. In face of known facts. talk
of a powerful revolutionary move
ment in America Is sheer sander on
the patriotism of a. nation that has
proved itself immune to the false
doctrines of the communists.
If they would correctly designate
the work TO which they are devot-
ing themselves. the communists
would name It destructive instead OF
constructive. And IL they would
mold their statement OF results OBJ
tained TO conform TO facts they
would list the revolutionary move
ment that they champion as negli-
gible. But evidently repeated re-
Bluffs and reflections by America has
not dampened the ardor OF the
handful of communists that are
continuing agitation. They are still
harping on the same old string. and

from the 81, LOUIS Times.
President Harding is a worker. He
has known few idle hours since
March 4, 1921. While Government
was in process Of reconstruction.
after years Of chaos such as stable
Government never before knew, he
carried the loads Of every depart
ment of administration II these de-
partments were not fully function
ing.
It was a tremendous undertaking.
Only man of his great physical fit
ness, and of his fine mind and spirit,
could have withstood the strain
those burdens-his own and the
cares of others-placed upon him.
The President now calls upon
Congress to emulate him in tre-
mendous effort. He asks that the
people of the country do each an in
dividual citizens part in furthering
national welfare.
A wonderful reaction of his ap-
peal has resulted.

AMERICAN KIDS
from the Los Angeles Times.

From the Los Angeles Times
You can't beat American kids.
They may not be as well trained as
soma children, as respectful to their
parents or anybody else or obedient
to the old-fashioned law that chill
dren should be seen and not heard" !"
But when it comes to enterprise and
resourcefulness they are there" D."
And maybe. after all, that is what
grows to make the spirit OF America.
Up IN Seattle. for instance. the
coasdng is good Just now. The boys
with sleds and hobs" have appro-
priated to their own uses all the best
streets for coasting. Where the
hills are long the coasers' tracks
pass half a dozen intersecting
streets, and in the first day or two
of the coasting season there were
several collisions between sleds and
motor cars crossing the track on
these streets.
No doubt IN some countries the
police Immediately would have put
an end to coasting. But the Seattls
kids beat them TO II. They foresaw
trouble and provided against It.
They organized their own volunteer
traffic squad, and now kids with
red lanterns stand at all the cross
ings and either make the motorists
turn back or wait TIL the track IS
clear.
And the motorists grin and like
II. Who wouldn't?
Nothing can beat the kids with
a spirit like that. It is easy to fore
see bright future for them.
