w charge that these abductions
were made with the knowledge and au-
thority of Michael Collins. We charge
that they were done by men wearing
the uniform of the provincial govern
ment. We charge that the victims
were carried off, In the main, in mo-
tor cars recently handed over by the
British government to the provincial
government. We charge that the pro-
vIsional government is well aware
where the abducted men are at this
moment"

The defeat of senator New in

The defeat of Senator New in
Indiana is a severe blow to the
Harding administration, he be-
ing one of its closest supporters.
Harding and New are not only
political allies from adjoining
States. but are the closest of
personal friends. Beveride, the
victor in the primary, represents
the same old Progressive revolt
that unhorsed the Republicans in
the middle of Taft's term; it is
the natural rebellion against
boss rule and money dictation.
Every effort of the administra-
ton was made to save New and
at the same time save the Pres
ident's face, even to sending to
the State every man who could
be found in the Departments at
Washington who had ever lived
in Indiana All in vain; the re-
volt is on and there is no chance
for it to subside until Harding is
driven from the White House in
1924;

For some weeks G, A. Walter,

missing money from his safe,
which he keeps in the cellar of

Just as the man was opening the

followed him to his home. He
proved to be Milford Vaught,

Cole BleaSe ReappearS

Cole Blease has made his re-
appearance in South Carolina,
and there are those who fear
that he will stage a comeback.
Cole Blease is the twin brother
politically speaking. of Tom Wat
son, of Georgia. He came into
public life a few years ago
preaching a crusade of hate
against the negro. He was
twice elected Governor, but the
intelligent people of South Caro-
lima rallied against him. He was
beaten for selection as Cover
nor, and later beaten for the
United States Senate. Although
calling himself a Democrat, as
does Tom Watson, Blease is as
yirulent Wilson-hater as Henry
Cabot Lodge. He opposed the
war, opposed the draft. opposed
the League of Nations. Now HI
wants to be Governor again.

came day when the old home
had to be given up for a new
abode. The kitten was taken
away first. and for hours after
its departure the parrot reiterat-
ed the plaintive cry: where's
my kitty? l want my kitty!'
Next day the reunion took place
in the presence of interested on
lockers. The parrot, in its cage,
was mounted on a table, and
when the door of the room open
ened to admit the kitten it at
once scampered across the carpet
and leapt onto the table. With
a chuckle of delight the parrot
then descended from her perch
and the two intimates kissed
each other through the bars.

What Is Religion?

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle re-
Gently said in one of his lectures
upon spiritualism that spiritual
ity is ''the very central prop on
which all religion is founded"
and that statement has brought
many thunderbolts upon his
head.
We imagine that what the lee
turer was trying to do was to
make a link between the Chris
tan belief in the immortality of
the soul and his ideas of earthly
communication with the spirits
of the departed. Now immor-
tality is one of the central facts
in religion, although there is
nothing in revealed religion that
resembles the rubbish Conan
Doyle is giving US about talk
ing with the dead"
But why take trouble about
answering the question, What
is reIigion?" We do not have to
depend upon Conan Doyle, nor
even upon Count Tolsty, whom
another authority quotes. We
are told in the twenty-second
chapter of st. Matthew that Je.
sus was asked which is the great
est commandment and that He
replied: "Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind. And the second is
like unto it. Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself. On these
hang all the law and the proph-
ets."
Donan Doyle is making but a
weak presentation of his spirit
ualistic beliefs, and of proofs"
he has offered none. Certainly
he gets nowhere when he tries
to square up the nonsense be is
talking with the great truths of
religion. louisville Post

KnOcker vs. Boosters.

When the Creator had made
all good things, there was more
work to do, so he made the
beasts and reptiles and poisonous
insects, and when he had finish
ed, he still had some scraps that
were too bad to put into the rat
tlesnake, the scorpion and the
skunk so he put these together,
covered it with suspicion wrap
ped it in jealousy, marked it
with yellow streak and called
it A Knocker.
This product was so fearful to
contemplate that he had to make
something to counteract it, so he
took a sunbeam and put in the
heart of a child and the brain of
a man, and then wrapped these
in civic pride, covered it with
brotherly love gave it a mask of
velvet and a grasp of steel, made
it lover of fields and flowers and
manly sports, a believer of equal
ity and justice and called it A
Booster.
And ever since these two were
created mortal man has had the
privilege Of choosing his associ-
ates.

in March of last year with seven
millions majority behind him is
now SO uneasy as to the result of
the coming November elections
that he and his director of the
Budget, General Dawes, juggle
appropriation figures and boldly
distort the facts in the efforts to
fool the people into again voting
for the party of special privilege.
The Presidents claim to saving
81, 800, 900 in the past year was
}. taken up in the HOUSE the other
day by Congressman Byrnes of
South Carolina and shot full of
holes, Mr.. Byrnes said:
'tThe President announced to
the country that we will this
year reduce our expenditures ST.
600. 10000 below the expendi.
ture for the last fiscal year.
Well, the expenditures for the
last fiscal year which were au-
thorized bp a Republican Con-
gress were the largest ever au-
thorized in time of peace in the
history of the country. If now,
four years after the war, there
was not a tremendous reduction
in expenditures there would be
little hope for the preservation
of the government.
''My regret is that the Presi-
dent in issuing this statement
did not call attention to the fact
that for the year 1916, the last
year prior to our entering the
war when we were engaged in
measures of preparedness. our
expenditures did not amount to
more than $1,115, 100000, and
that the estimate he now makes
as to expenditures this year is
1892, $4,000, or $2,8O7, $751;
326 more than was spent under
the Democratic administration
for the last fiscal year prior to
the war.
81 regret that he did not call
attention to the fact that while
the Budget Bureau claims these
bogus savings of $136, 100000,
the fact is that the same depart
ments have to date secured from
the Congress deficiencies or sup
Elemental appropriations amount
ing to 1914, ,69l ,O4O.65.
THE Secretary of the Treas
ury does not keep up with this
political game. He issued a
statement that we are facing a
deficit, and then along comes
General Dawes. who says that
we are facing deficit, and ther
along comes General Dawes,
who says that we have saved q
billion and a half dollars. The
President, if he has any conf.
dence in him at all, ought tt
urge the Congress tt
declare a dividend to the tax
payers of America, and we wouIC
all be entitled to a share
The Bureau submitted estimate:
for an amount larger than the
appropriations for the current
year and before the subcommit
tees of the Committee on Appro'
priations no one appeared to de-
fend his estimates. The direct
or contented himself with these
baseless claims of savings. 1t il

of % Summoned

Charles Town, w. Va, April 81
Furnishing of arms. ammunition and
money. and personal direction of the
invasion of Logan county are charged
against William Blizzard by the pro-
secution in its bill of particulars, filed
Yesterday on the trial of more than
100 men for participating in the
march.
Blizzard, who is president of sub
district No ,, District II, United
Mine Workers. who is accused of
treason, is alleged to have induced
union locals to contribute Large
sums" for carrying out the march; to
have assumed charge of the alleged
invasion and to have participated ac-
lively in it.
On examination of the bill. the de-
fense objected to its failure to desig-
nate what locals and what union Of
ficials furnished money, alleging the
charge was too general. 1t was de-
clared that not knowing the specific
locals. the defense would have to sum-
mon more than 5000 witnesses to be
in a position to plan its defense.
The objection was sustained and
court adjourned at noon until today
when the prosecution will present
more specific charges.
1t is understood that the defense
will attempt to show that Blizzard, far
from melting the invasion, took ac-
tive steps to stop it.
