Detroit. - E. F. Cradle, president,
United Brotherhood of Maintenance Of
Way Employees and Railway Shop La
'borers, was swamped with his followers
on the railroad amalgamation resolu-
ton introduced at the triennial con-

advocates of matchmaking all the rail

trial union for the entire TRANSFORMATION
industry carried their measure by vote
of almost four-fifths Of the 900 dele

Cradle, who was instrumental in
keeping the 100000 maintenance Of

TOO MUCH RED LIQUOR
(By The Federated Press)

Washington. = Why the depart
ment of justice, under A. Mitchell Pal
mer, saw so much rex" and threw the
nation into monthly convuIsions over
new bolshevik plots may be explained
by the huge quantity Of liquor which
Palmer's assistants stole from the gov
eminent and drank during their last
year in office.
In a special report to the District of
Columbia supreme court, the federal
grand jury charges Palmer's agents
with having illegally seized, during the
summer Of 1920, large quantities of Ii
quor found on the persons of travellers
through the union station, this city.
The report reads in part: 1T further
appears that certain representatives of
the department of justice disposed Of
the liquor in various ways-viz.: by
appropriation Of it TO their own use,
BY making gifts to relatives and friends
: " by destroying such Of it as APP
peared to be unfit for consumption. In
view Of the unprecedented circum-
stances surrounding the case, it is our
opinion that the testimony appears to
be sufficient to warrant the present.

(By The Federated Press)

New Orleans. = American legion

for the national convention to be held
here Oct. 1920 are problem for the
police, according to the Times Picay-
une. which says the officers are having
a hard time distinguishing between a
bum, tramp, hobo, ETC., and desir-
able convention visitor.
"At that" the paper declares, "the
vanguard of DICTIONARIES is far more de-
sirable than the vanguard of parasites
now in the process Of being cleaned
up by the police department"
Reluctance Of New Orleans citizens
to open up their homes to legion Wis.
itors continues, in spite of the efforts
of the hotels and housing committee
which has enlisted school children to
take circulars with appeals to their
parents. More sharpers are being pick
ed up by the police on descriptions fur
nished by the Kansas City authorities,
where crooks had rich field in the
wide open convention of last year.

THE CHURCH REV0LU-
TI0N IN RUSSIA
by The Federated Press)

Moscow. = The Congress Of the
Living Church bids fair to split the
ancient orthodox church Of Russia to
| its foundations. A revolution has, in
fact, been going on in the church for
some time, brought to sudden explo-
sion by the taking of church treasures
by the government.
Some of the clergy opposed the TAX
ing of treasures for the famine, and ev-
len provoked riots; others declared
boldly: The shame is ours that we
should have waited to be compelled
When nation lies in misery and star
walton the Christian community should
be first TO help"
The patriarch, who had become a
center for all the discomfort in Russia,
sent manifesto opposing the taking
of the treasures; he was arrested and
brought to trial. At once some Of the
lower priests seized the opportunity,
waited upon the patriarch and demand
ed that be withdraw. The church can
not function with you at its head, !"
they said. I'VE need peace with the
government and you stir up trouble. :"
They got the paper from him which
gave them the control of the church.
| And now the so-called red clergy are
running affairs in the church of Rus
sia. They summoned a congress of
like-minded priests from the provinces,
and, made one startling innovation ef-
Ter another. Sixty-one bishops were
Ideposed for counter-revolutionary pro-
paganda. Priests were allowed 70 re-
marry RUSSIAN lower priests have all
lowed one marriage). Most revolution
ary Of all, married priests were raised
to the rank Of bishops.

THE INFANT TERRIBLE

Washington. = Senator William F.
Borah. the Bad Indian Of the Harding
administration. has dug up the toma-
hawk and left the C. o. P. reservation
in full war paint. By order Of the
White House, signal fires have been lit
on every standpat hilltop to warn the
unprotected candidates for office in
November to be on their guard against
the Idaho marauder.
Patrick Henry's cry Of Give me lib
erty or give me DEATH" was not more
shocking to George III than the harsh
demand by Borah that all political pri-
soneys be Immediately freed, on pain
Of political death to the parties and the
politicians who keep them shut in cells.
Every newspaper in the national cap
ital carries in display type the truth
about political prisoners as Borah sees
and procIaims it from the mountain
tops And Borah is popular here, no
less than in the country at large.

ACADEMIC FREEDOM
(Rv 10 Federated Pres.l

New York. - Ludwig Lewisohn, lit
erary and dramatic critic, author Of the
remarkable auto-biographical volume,
Upstream, who for several years was a
professor in a middle-western college,
declares that American colleges to-day
are controlled and administered with
an eye almost solely to increasing the
registration, to raising funds, to erecting
new buildings, and to pleasing the trus-
tees or regents, who are bankers, man
ufacturers, and well-to-do men who will
not tolerate idealism.
Il can think of no great creative
spirit OF ancient or modern times" he
said, of no sage, teacher, artist, proph-
ct, who, finding himself on the faculty
'of an American college or university.
would not be despised by the students,
|uncomfortably tolerated by his col
leagues, and finally fired by the admin
istration on account of Cd unconven-
tlonallty OF public behavior, ~ heret-
ical opinions, 81 irreguIarity of pri-
vate conduct. Please observe the word
'irregularity." Departure from con-
vention is enough. Whether that de-
Parture is noble or ignoble would not
be inquired.
The ideal of the COLLEGE is REGULAR
ity. Whatever is not regular is dan.
gerous. If any college or university
strives to transcend that wretched no.
ton, it is not long before it will be-
come a by-word on the main streets
of its state and section. Its faculty
will be maligned; its revenues will be
curtailed. Every professor is in the
most intimate and practical, in the sub
tlest as well as in the grossest sense,
wholly at the mercy Of the very fore
