The Philadelphia Public
Ledger, not merely owned by the
able Mr.. Curtis, discovers that
there exists in the United States
"a new progressivism." Mr..
Curtis sees it in Iowa, Nebraska,
and mile high in Wisconsin,
where La Follette's victory
makes conservatism shake its
hoary head. E.
Just as this country thought,
m official quarters, that 1t was
settling down to a long reign of
capitalistic conservatism, up
comes the ."new progressivism." !"
z You cannot escape your fate,
as a German proverb has it.
And you never can tell what
will happen. Eugene Timofeef
was ferociously radical while
the car lived. He fought car
Ism and spent ten years at hard
labor under a the czar's rule.
Then came the end of czars,
with Lenin and Trotzky, and
Timofeef threw his hat high in
the air. " -,
Now he is dead. Bolshevik
successors to the czar con-
demned him to death with eleven
Of his friends. He wasn't quite
radical enough. or radical in the
right way. He didn't like his
prison, and killed himself, "put-
ting his head into q ventilato-
and causing suffocation," ac-
cording to the report.
Dissatisfaction is a great
power-greatest in the world.
But not many. of the dissatis-
fled know what would happen,
or how Il would seem If they
got what they ask for.
The railroad engineers union,
well managed, conservative, in
telligent. buys for two-and-a-
half millions q six-story build
ing in Cleveland, to have q ma
tional bank, owned by the loco
motive brotherhood. To own q
bank is good, For q union to
show that It knows how to in
vest , two-and-a-half millions,
and has the money, is another
good thing. One thing people
of all kinds and colors respect
in the United States, and that
10 TWO-AND-A-HALF NIL
LION DOLLARS.
The famous philanthropist,
Nathan Straus, said to this
writer, when both were young:
Brisbane, I know you haven't
got any money, but for heavens
sake don't tell anybody. You
have no idea how much IL hurs
your standing"
DR.. r.. C. Murphy, of many
learned societies, says man.

liam Jennings Bryan, for sea
mammals, unless Darwin was
mistaken, lived at first in the
sea, later went up on land, got
legs, learned how to have chill
dren born alive, and how to
nurse them.
Then, giving up the struggle
on land, they wandered back to
the ocean, where they lost
their legs and became water
animals once more. Every
whale, when you dig under the
blubber, shows a little pair of
rudimentary leg and hip bones
in its skeleton. Mr.. Bryan
ought to look at them.
Sea mammals dying out are
the manatee, or sea cow-you
read about her in boys adven-
ture stories-the seals, and the
whales. All are vanishing rap
Idly.
However, all animal life on
the earth, except. man, ruler,
will disappear eventually, in
cluding, let us hope, microbes
and all germs. ..
Sea mammals, led by the
manatee, might as well 60 first.
The American Federation Of
Labor wisely declines to call a
general strike to express SYM
pathy with the shopmen. To
hit everybody on the head to
show that you are sorry for
somebody wouldn't be wise.
Occasionally mourners scratch
and cut themselves and howl.
That's savage, but IL they must
do II, they must. But for all
workers Of the United States
TO strike all the people Of the
United States to show that
they don't like an injunction
would be silly. No need Of that
in q country where men can
vote. 5...
