Love Me Not withwords.

You say you love me love me not with
words.
Use not sweet sounding syllables. but
bring
Proof by your deeds that 1 may know
In truth
Whether your love be real or counter
felt.
You say you love me. and you turn
away
TO injure one whose kindnesses have
To me unnumbered one who offered me
Succor whom ali the world seemed
black as night.
Colder than steel and a vast void abyss.
While you. Indifferent, neither knew nor
cared
Were IL not for this benefactor. I
Should not be here to listen while your
voice
says It's soft phrases. If you love in
deed
You can reveal 1t IN no better way
Than to give him the homage he is due.

What the Reds Ask Here.

Those who call themselves the
Workers of America offered the wage
earners of this country day before
yesterday a Christmas gift of afilia-
tion with the Red Labor Internation-
ale. They declared outright that this
means American labor should enlist
for a soviet government of the United
States. They declared as frankly that
this will entail a dictatorship of
the proletariat." And they further
declared as follows:
1T will be the task of that Gov
ernment 1.-THE Red Dictatorship to
take from the capitalists the control
and ownership of the raw materials
and machinery of production-and to
establish collective ownership
So what these Reds are asking is
that the owners of the 100000
American farms consent to have
taken away from them their land, of
the value of fifty-flve billions of dol
lars; their buildings, value twelve
billions of dollars; their live stock,
value eight billions Of dollars. That
is the proposition as it applies to the
American farmers-that, they let
their seventy-five billions of dollars
of agricultural raw material and
other possessions be dumped into the
Reds collective ownership pool.
These Reds are asking that the
American owners of 27,000,000 saw
ilgs accounts, with seventeen billions
OF dollars of deposits, consent to
have their savings taken away from
them and dumped into the Reds
collective ownership pool.
These Reds are asking that the
holders of 64,OO0.O00 life insurance
policies consent to have the security
behind their forty-two billions of
dollars of policies taken away from
them and dumped into the Reds
collective ownership pool.
These American Reds are asking
that the American holders of billions
of dollars of small Liberty loan
bonds, of war savings stamps and OF
other securities consent to have these
savings taken away from them and
dumped into the Reds collective
ownership pool.
These Reds are asking that the
American owners Of millions OF
their own homes in the Industrial
communities of the country consent
to have their houses taken away
from them and dumped into the
Reds collective ownership pool.
These Reds are asking the Ameri-
can farmers and the American wage
earners to do all that. because, after
the American farmer. it is the Amer
ican wage Garner that owns his own
home in the vast majority of towns,
villages and rural communities OF
this country. 1t is the American
wage Garner that is credited with
the great bulk OF the country's saw
ings deposits. II Is the American
wage Garner that carries for his wife
and children the preponderating
mass of life insurance policies. II
is the American wage Garner that
holds the war savings stamps, and
Liberty bonds and notes OF small de-
nomination.
The rank and file Of the American
people, the American farmers and
the American wage earners who
have saved and who own enough to
buy and sell. hundred times over
every acre of ground in the world
controlled by Red Sovietism, and all
that there is on top OF that ground

FUGITIVE WILL Be TAKEN
ON STATE CHARGES when
RETURNED TO ILLINOIS
Pedigo Claims His Arrest
for Gabel Murder is
Frameup.

Indications today were
that John Looney would be
arrested by United States au-
thorities within the next "a
hours on a warrant charging
him with the theft of an au-
tomobile in Iowa and trans
porting it to Illinois.
When LOOney is arrested,
it is understood state investi-
gators in Rock Island will
launch charges against him,
the results of evidence dis
closed by the investigation
conducted by Attorney Cen
eral Edward j. Brundage.
The state and federal officers to-
day were aligned In ferreting out
Looney, for weeks a fugitive from
I justice. The latest tip as to his
| whereabouts was not expected to
take the officers far from Rock Is
! land. Looney disappeared from
Rock Island Immediately after the
! federal grand jury at Peoria in
dicted him for the theft OF an au-
| tomobile, and he has at various
times been reported as seen In
many separate sections Of the couI-
try.
With the Rock Island county
grand jury scheduled to reconvene
!, tomorrow morning, the state offi-
cials are anxious to be able to lay
their hands on LOoney at a mo-
ment's notice.
Attorney General Here.
Attorney General Edward ].
Brun1age and Thomas Marshall,
prominent Chicago attorney. were
scheduled to arrive in Rock Island
shortly after o'clock this after
noon. Mr.. Brundage last week in
dicated that he did not expect to
reach Rock Island until Wednesday
or Thursday. but his resolve to be
here personally to direct the pre-
sentation of evidence to the grind
jury is believed to have been
prompted by the arrest Saturday
afternoon of Lawrence Pedigo, who
is charged with the murder OF Bill
Gabel.
Pedigo was interviewed by an
Argus reporter in the county jail
this morning The reporter want
ed Pedigo to pose for picture.
Nothing doing" said Pedigo. ''the
Argus will never print my picture"
The reporter was not disturbed
greatly by the refusal. AS matter
of fact, The Argus tonight pre-
sents a picture of Pedigo.
The reporter siezed the oppor-
tunity, however. to obtain Pedigo's
view Of his arrest. What do you
think Of it all?" the prisoner was
asked.

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 20-Tru-
man H. Newberry's exit from the
United States senate removes what
might otherwise have been an en-
barrassing controversy for the ad-
ministration of President Harding
and something which might have
had serious effects on the country
as a whole through the inevitable
delay in important. legislation that
would have resulted.
Although there were without
question enough votes to GUST Mr..
Newberry from the senate inahe,
session which would have brought
into office the congress elected on
Nov. Z last, the insurgents in the
senate had mustered enough
strength to bring the matter to a
head once more in the session to
be begun in December 1t would
have been a close vote in the De-
cember session and a long drawn
out party fight and Mr. Newberry
has relieved his party and the ad-
ministration of one of the. most
perplexing burdens it has carried
IN years.
Colleagues Liked Him.
For first of all Truman Newberry
was well liked by his colleagues.
He wasn't pictured as the symbol
of corruption in politics but as the
victim OF overzealous friends with
pockets bulging, to beat Henry
Ford, whose wartime views irri-
tated and exasperated them. Mr..
Newberry would have resigned his
seat Immediately after his first
election if it had not been the ad-
vice Of his party associates to stick
to his guns. He did not wish to
reflect upon them by withdrawing.
He faced the fight in the senate
most reluctantly. He didn't want
to testify in his own behalf. His
contention throughout was that he
had no personal knowledge Of the
Large sums being spent and that
the campaign was managed for him
while he was in the navy.
Intended Quitting Sooner.
When the Newberry case was
made an issue in the last campaign
in Michigan. Mr.. Newberry made up
his mind to resign his seat immed-
lately after the elections. His idea
then was to wait until Senator
Townsend was elected as any res
iignation before the election might
hurt his colleagues chances. Now,
however. Mr. Townsend has been
beaten and largely on the New
berry issue. He might have had
