BooTLEooER UNPoPuLAR

Today the most unpopular offender
Is the violater of the prohibition law.
He has proven himself to be a poten-
tlal killer, an enemy of society in
every possible way, an extortioner and
robber, and a man utterly beyond
the pale human sympathy. If senti-
meut continues to progress we will
yet see the time when juries all over
the country will, as in Kansas and
North Dakota. be cautioned against
prejudice in favor of the prosecution
Of the prohibition law cases.
Another factor which is contribut-
ing greatly to improve the conditions
is the character of the liquor which
Is being sold in violation OF the law.
The supply of so-called good" liquor
has been so curtailed that it Is esti-
mated that SO perS cent OF bootleg"
stuff is not only poisonous but an i'm
mediate menace to life itself. This is
not an unfortunate state OF affairs. 1t
reduces the clientele Of the bootlegger
to the man with a desperate alcohol
appetite.
The importation OF liquor into the
United States have been stopped, and
the release of liquor from bonded
warehouses for medicinal purposes
has been cut to the absolute minimum
Meanwhile, private cellars are being
rapidly exhausted and the rich man
as well as the poor man will soon be
favoring the necessity of drinking pol
son "hootch' or doing without.
The slight advance which the inter-
nal enemies of America against its
Constitution during the year 1921 is
being taken from them almost over
night.

Referring to the policy of the Boil

Goldman quotes the following signifi-
cant anecdote now current in Russia:
"A peasant committee is received by
Lenin. Well dedushka, little grand
father, says Lenin to the old peasant,
you should be satisfied now; you have
the land, the cattle, the fowls; you
have everything
Eyes, God be blessed replies the
peasant, yes, little father, the land is
mine. but you get the bread: the COW
is mine, but yours the milk; the
chicken mine, but yours the eggs.

EMMA GOLDMAN ON
BOLSHEVIST RUSSIA
BY A. J. SACK
Director of the Russian Information
Bureau in the United States; Author
Of "ThG Birth Of the Russian
Democracy"

The New York World has rendered
a great service to Its readers and to
the Russian cause by printing the
series of Emma Goldman's articles,
which began on Sunday. March Goth,
and ended Tuesday, April 4th. This
time 1t is not ''counter-revolution
who is speaking on Russia, and not a
foreigner who spent ten days or two
weeks in Russia, but convinced revo-
lutionist who entered Russia sincerely
believing that Bolshevism was the
realization of her sacred thoughts and
dreams. Miss Goldman spent two
years in Russia and after having made
a deep study OF the Russian condition
she now comes forth with the most
categorical and powerful indictment Of
the Bolshev1st regime that has ever
appeared in the American or the Eu-
ropean press.
Miss Goldman says that it was the
Bolshevist "senseless and cruel

BRICK FROM GREAT WALL
OF CHINA

After being suspected of harboring
opium, dynamite and even state secrets
a venerable brick from the Great Wall
of China passed the custom officials
and has just been received by the Mu-
scum of the School of Engineering of
New York University. The brick was
secured by DR.. Lawrence A. McLouth,
professor OF Germanic languages and
literatuer 1.-THE university who re-
turned recently from China after
spending a year as exchange professor
at Using Hua College in Picking.
DR.. McLouth packed the brick in a
special container and shipped 1t to
New York. via Tientsin and the Pam
anna Canal. The United States Gus

the queer collections made by antique
hunters, were for some reason, more

The outside surface is quite rough
and resembles somewhat a concrete

from the wall in the neighborhood OF
the Nankow Pass.
1.-THE Great Wall is one of the most
interesting recollections OF my stay in
China" said DR.. McLouth. Started
in the third century, it's construction
is considered one Of the greatest en-
cheering feats in history. Over fifteen
hundred miles long, it follows an ir-
regular course across the northern
boundary 1t is about twenty five feet
high, twenty feet thick, with observa-
ton towers forty feet high at intervals
of few hundred yards. Due to the
uneven lay of the land the towers COM

surrounding country.

century the wall has been allowed to
fall into decay, but long portions of
it are still in good condition. When

ONE REEL YARNS
JACK Mows THE LAWN

Jack Harvey always did like spring
time. On these lazy March and April
days he and his best friend, HI
(Which was short for diram) Erley,
used to loll in the back Of the old ga
rage and dream of the secret society
they were going to start some ddy.
One day in late spring he and HI
were in their usual place, talking
again OF the fun they could have IL
they could really start their club.
The trouble with u.s." Hi was say
ing, SIS that we just talk. We ought
to DO something!"
Well" Jack replied, what do you
think we ought to do?"
You said the other day your dad
would let uS use the attic space over
the garage. II We could get little
money and Guy some chairs. and put
up q trapexe and things, we could
start 1t, and charge fellows dime
to Join, ana charge dues, and maybe
make q little money"
''Tll tell you. HI, let's start right
now and see Il we can't get some
money to-day, and tomorrow 10 Sat
uFday, and we can work all day on

Jack had always disIiked working,
and his first thought was to ask his
father for the money. Then he real
ixed that he had asked for q lot late

Jack" his mother said. you must
realize that business IL terribly poor
just now. and don't think It Would
be fair Of you to ask your father for
more money now. do YOU? Why
don't you try to earn enough to get
the things you want? Mrs. Young
was telling me to-day that she wished
she could get some one to NOW her
lawn for her, and she said she would
pay seventy-fve cents to have II

Jack thought q minute about the
club, and his face frightened. Why,
mother, I think I could do it yet to-
night. I'm going to try!"
Jack hurried ever to Mrs. Young's
and was soon started on his work.
He finished just before eundown. Mrs.
Young gave him q dollar for hurry

for good II he wanted It.
So that was how Jack earned the
money 10 start his club going. and
after that there was never week
that he didn't e@rn = dollar or more
