"sweet Land Of Liberty"

70 ths Editor Of the Evening Public Ledoer!
Sir-A statement purporting to havo
been issued recently by the Soviet roy.
ernment officials at Moscow detends
their new policy Of exiling. those VINO
openly oppose Bolshevist doctrines as
being humanitarian ard not harsn'
"These men, 90 section OF the re.
markable document reads. have proved
themselves unable to appreciate tho
prolctnrian psychology
Obviously inability to appreciate the
proletarian psychology Is considered
serious crime. Such an attitude docs
not say much for liberty Of speech and
thought under Soviet rule. The only
freedom which appears to he coun'
tenanced consists in the sweet privilege
Of giving three cheers for everything the
Bolshevists desire and believe. Those
who differ with them and say so must
pay the penalty Of exile.
Under the new Soviet law, as recent
ly described In dispatches, political Of
tenders may be bnnished without trial,
a special commissioner having been del o.
gated to pass on the cases. This worthy
apparently suffered enlargement of the
heart in the instance Of several edu-
Gators who were told that the exile
order would be suspended II they would
HE themselves across the frontier and
out of Russia within a week. How
ever, that was putting them out of the
way and accomplishing an object desired
in another manner. The purpose OF
exile Is to Danish those who might
WELD an influence against the Soviet
Government. 1t Is doubtful II there
is any country in the world now where
there Is less actual ''liberty" than In
Russia.
| In the recent commitments for exile
there has been a marked leaning to th'
intellectual class. They seem to be the
ones ordinarily who are least able &c
appreciate the 'proetarian psychol'
ogy.' Some two hundred professors
lawyers, authors, doctors and journal
lists compose a group to be banishet
to two islands in the Arctic. and there
held incommunicado for terms rangini
as much as three years. OF course. tn,

the escape of any one daring to thrus

Bolshsvists see fit to provide. Thi
may be part of n Humanitarian
policy. but 1t. doesn't look like it from
here.

Tho Uses Of Education
10 ths Edtso, o, the gvsr.ro Public Ledss

10 tho Editor Of the Evertro Public LedSev:
Sir-I read the other day about the
school and teachers Of a town out IN
Michigan or Minnesota-Owosso was
the name Of the place--who planned a
new curriculum for their high school:
They seemed, according to the story that
came under my attention, to have the
to be educated in Owosso might want
to remain in the vicinity and settle
down to ordinary home lite. Accord
are going to let them have the salts
faction and the honor Of graduating
even IL they can't bone out chapter OF
Caesar by the aid Of a lexicon or
stammer a few sentences in French.
Also graduation is to be possible with :
out algebra or geometry, provided the
applicants for sheepskins can show that
they know something OF commercial
subjects, manual training and the
household arts.
1t Is certain such innovations are
made over the protest of the orthodox
educators. They may, it is true, have
the secret sympathy of thousands Of ex :
grads who found after commencement
that their choice lay between leaving
home and continuing the pursuits ,ol
higher education or following the
ordinary callings Of the surrounding
forgetting the major part of what they
had toiled for so hard in school.
1t is a very old moot question, just
learner. The newspaper from which
CLEAN my information about the Owossc
revolution adds this comment: Every.
body knows about how many of thu
people of Owosso and vicinity. or oi
any like place. will have daily need Of
their algebra and geometry. And every
| body knows also that the practica

studies which the new Owosso high
school will offer its students as sub.
stitutes for the required higher mathe.

stitutes."
I can't say this opinion Is my own
On the contrary have found the
smattering of Latin which I obtained
in my high school course, which marked
the climax OF my educational oppor.
tunities., and the still smaller smatterins
of Greek and the slight insight into
algebra and geometry that accompanied
these acquisitions, have been Of no little
value to me in the business which I was
perforce compelled to enter as soon as
I received my diploma" rs we called
it in those days. I am a firm believe,
in the studies that have been eliminated
from the curriculum Of the Michigan
high school, for variety of reasons
that would take up too much of you,
valuable space if attempted to specify
them. And I venture to believe that
tho consensus Of the best educational
opinion in this part Of the country, AT
least, will indorse my view.

CROPS IN COLD STORAGE
Farmers Realize Better Prices b>
WIthholdIna Produce

Swedesboro, N. j., Sept. 13.--Fnrm-
ers are realizing better prices for their
fruits and produce in times OF slut
by placing part of their crops in cold
storage. -.
Charles Brown, of this place, has
tried the experiment with asparagus,
spples and peaches. Asparagus kept IN
storage a month sold in the opcn. mar
ket for S12 per dozen punches. At the
time of placing in storage 1t sold for
$3.50 a dozen.
Rather than break the apple market
lie placed a thousand bushels in storage.
The market is now absorbing the crop
ut a steady price
placed in storage. They came III the
midst Of severe glut at the end Of
The week. The peach market is now
recovering it's former strength.
Mr.. Brown intends to move the crol
within the next few days at prices that
will bring q profit.

Bullish on Equipments

OF the various groups, none has
grown in greater favor in the specula-
tive community than the equipment
shares. As a matter Of fact, this par
ticular group has more than once been
the principal sustaining power of the
forward swing. Notwithstanding. the
stock is selling at the top price Of the
year. Baldwin Locomotive, it was
said after the close yesterday, would be

1t was asserted yesterday one of the
most aggressive operators, who had
much to do with bullish activities since
his return from Europe, is devoting
most of his attention to this stock. In
some circles 1t was believed Baldwin
Locomotive will make a greater advance
than any other stock in this group.
There were many. however. who are
generally we'll informed about market
affairs who were positive that Pullma n

Politics and the Market

The early returns from the Maine

party will be returned to office with
the normal margin was received favor
ably on the Street. 1t likewise brought
attention to the fact that politics will
soon play big part in the daily mar
ket discussion. Because of the engross.
ing attention given to the labor trou-
bles many other considerations have
been relegated to the background or lost
in the shuttle.
Unless surface signs are misleading,
the market is rapidly approaching, or
has reached, the juncture where out
side events will come in for a great
deal Of discussion. As the grain mar
kets have the annual crop scares, so
does the stock market have political
scares. There is no reason why the
current market should be immune. To
the contrary, the increasing cross cur.
rents. which each day become more
pronounced. are likely to leave the
structure vulnerable to unpleas SAINT sur
prises. That is, IL any occur.
