SOCIAL UNREST
Tobenkin's The Road Has
Lessons for Parlor Bolshevists

Elias Tobenkin is avowedly an apostle
OF the new social ORDER" From his
earliest writings as q newspaperman IN
Chicago when he was delving into things
sociological and trying to master the
English lanGpage, later as corre-
spondent in Russia and still later as q
novelist, Tobcnkin has his message
to deliver. 49,
But his patiently propagandist state
Of mind need not act as a deterrent 20
those who may pick up THE Road
(Harcourt, Bruce & Coz. The story
breathes propaganda, surely; II reeks
Of covert attacks ut the capitansticc :
class but withal its manifest message.
is cloaked in an intriguing story. IN
which argument Is made to run close
behind fact-possibly only fictionai
fact.
"The Road" Is the life story OF
Hilda Thorsen, n girl Of little Middle
Western town who goes to chicago
and is betrayed by a childhood days
playmate who is studying at the Uni
versity there. Facing the heroic strug-
gle Of q girl in her situation. Hildn
takes up. the battle, not bravely but
rather despairingly.
She becomes a factory girl, wait
ress. union organizer and later labor
power Of sort. She never is the rant
ing. short haired, famboyant radical,
rather temperamental but calculating
woman. In her, Mr.. Tobenkin seems
to mirror his own state Of mental un-
certainty. That things are not as they
should be, Hilda realizes. but she seems
unable to mako up her mind just what
should be done, except to indulge In
dot bespattered dreams Of the new
social order" She doesn't believe in
servants-but she has one when she can
afford it. She doesn't believe in war
but she helps out when war comes
she learns Of chaos economically at
home, but prefers to stay in Russia.
For the fictional part Mr.. Tobenkin
ends with a dash into the new "no
ending style by merely giving a hint Of
q future romance for his heroine. She
is left about to Join her labor leader
admirer in Russia whittier he has gone
after recognizing his talk and organiza-
ton here had done little good and is
trying to help Russia by inculcating a
doctrine of work not talk into the
peasants.
Maybe Mr.. Tobenkin thinks that his
panacea for unrest and the evils Of
bolshevism would not work in America.

While primarily a romance. a tale Of

Cal Harris was something of an in

ranch. Hal G. Evarts tells how he
ovcrcame the prejudices

Billie Warren in
!. = 'The Settling of the

Though Cal wore his gun swung in
front from his belt--and this Is "the
quickest draw in the world for them
that can use 1.-THE men didn't like
his ways, especially as he gentle
broke his horses, and fenced in the
range. Billie's repugnance was due to
the fact that her father had divided his
property in hilf in his will, leaving half
property in half in his will, leaving half
old pal, Bill Harris, in order to cement
a family friendship. The conditions
were that the two should run the ranch
together for three years. and If one of
them left it before the time the other
should take all.
OF course it's easy to see what would
happen. And it did! But it's not so
easy to fOrsee all the action and ex-
citement that interviewed before Cal won
Billie. And there is good background
of the open range country which the
author knows like a book. He knows
it's customs and it's people, too, and his
pages are varied with the comedy, ro-
nance and thrills of the brisk and breezy
West.

people to get this proposition straight
in their minds. We have given il
two or three times but will try to
make it plain again:
Byers has permission from the
state and interstate commerce COM
mission to build a line of road from
Liberal to Forgan. Before any road
can be constructed this permission
must be granted, and it is an in
falliable rule not to grant permls
sion to two lines in competing ter
ritory. The B. M. & E. have made
application for permission to build
from Forgan to Hooker This latter
line would parallel the Kansas q
Oklahoma for several miles west
from Forgan Therefore, in order
to get their permission they allege
that Mr.. Byers has Abandoned the
Kansas & Oklahoma and ask that
permission be granted them.
Mr.. Byers has been notified that
such permission has been asked and
that a meeting would be held at an
early date at which time he must
prove to the commission that he has
not abandoned the project The way
he can do this is to get busy and go
to work on the line. With the right
of-way trouble in Liberal township
settled and the bond issue settled he
can make such a showing. Other
wise the condition of the B. M. &
E. people will be taken as true and
permission granted.
The business men are asked by the
council to give all kinds of proof that
the B. M. & E. will be built. This
is beyond the power of anyone not
connected with the road but those
who have Investigated are of the
opinion that the road can and will
be built. True. this may never
come to pass. but it is worth $20.-
900 to Liberal to know that it will
not. and in this opinion the best bus
mess men in town agree.
AS the Democrat goes to, press
bunch Of Businessmen are in session
determining what action to take. So
far all have agreed that it is suicide
to quit ad seem bent on going ahead
with the proposition.

FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING

by Fred z. Kreiger in TeXhoma Times
An editor ina small town had con-
duted his newspaper many years for
betterment of his community both
socially and morally. His sterling
character and the purity of the col
umns of his paper had gained for
him high esteem in the estimation of
the citizens of his home town. One
afternoon while H. was at home rest
ing in the parlor from the strenuous
labors of his newspaper, unaware of
the homage that was to be paid him,
\ great number of his friends gather
ed at his home, There We're people
in the crowd from ell walks of life
even two preachers were present, and
after several pretty boquets were
given him by admitting friends one of
tie Ministers mace and appropriate
talk for the occasion. Many express
ed their appreciation of the good work
tie editor had wrt ught in the town.
After the many compliments of the
evening had been bestowed upon him
six stalwart friends of the popular ed
itor carried him bodily to a fine 1922
model closed car, and tho he was I'M
aware of what would happen next, a
good number of cars follwed the
large auto in which the local news pur
veyor was riding.
The destination reached, several
beautiful songs were rendered, after
which the great crowd departed from
the cemetery, sad over the departure
of their popular editor.
