and that, so long as they have any
power, no nationalist movement is
possible and Persia will remain al
most in the same condition as Eng
land of centuries ago under the
barons.
Aside from the Anglo Russian
treaty, multitude of reasons are
given for the red failure in Persia
One is that the Soviet freedom to
women including the abandoning Of
the chadrah, or veil, pleased the wo-
men but not their husbands and made
many enemies for the Soviet.
Another reason was that the Rus
slams mistook the feudalists for re
formers. These persons were ready
for any revolution that would over
throw the power of the Shah, until
they realized that Communism would
wreck their own estates.
The merchant class at first well
coined the Communists, only later to
grow cold, as they saw the fruits of
a division of property, house requisi-
tions and other odds and ends of
Communism
Yet another reason was that the
peasants themselves, trained in the
Islamic law, to respect property, re-
fused to accept division of land be =.

Chinese Pirates
At Work Again

Peking, Jan. 10.-(By MaiD.-A
recrudescence of the activities of for
mer Chinese pirates recently took
place when the Kwang Lee, steam
er bound from Shanghai to Hong
kong was boarded by an band of 80
Chinese who came alongside in junks
and demanded the surrender of the
vessel. The pirates imprisoned the
crew and commanded the captain to
continue his course toward Hong
kong. Two of the three junks in
which the pirates had come along
side the Kwang Lee were abandoned
owing to the fact that they were bad
ly battered by the heavy sea pre-
vailing, while the third was towed by
order of the pirate chief.
The steamer proceeded toward
Hong-kong reaching. Taisemi Bay
late one night when it was stopped
and the Chinese loaded their jmks
with plumber. Before leaving the

A Statement on the Proposed
Law to Bar Gambling
Information From
The Mails

The Board of Temperance, Prohibi-
tion and Public Morals of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, has favored
Section of H. R. 65O8, an amend
ment proposed by Representatives
Walsh, of Massachusetts, barring
from the mails purely gambling infor-
nation.
Statements have been made that
this would prohibit the handling of
sporting news. We have not been able
so to see it. If we had, We would not
have favored the provision. In our
opinion, it bars from the mails infor-
nation which is of interest only be-
cause it facilitates the laying and the
paying off of bets in handbooks and
poolrooms.
sv Howvver,--we wans Sdrsay that We
consider that the concehsus of opin-
ion Of newspapermen in this connec-
ton should be final. Hundreds of
newspaper editors have written us
supporting the proposed law. A small
er number of perfectly sincere edi-
tors oppose it. In addition to the op-
position of journalistic touts and "sure-
thing" men, the bill has been opposed
by certain metropolitan newspapers
which are undoubtedly actuated by
laudable motives, but which have un-
fortunately so misbehaved toward the
prohibition law as to throw suspicion
upon their attitude in regard to Mr..
Walsh's proposition.
If the newspapermen of the coun-
try believe that Mr.. Walsh's amend
ment as at present worded would en-
danger the handling of legitimate
news, they should say so in numbers
which will indicate that there is a
widely diffused opinion to that effect.
They should, it seems to us, however,
suggest such changes as will meet
their wishes and yet will exclude from
the mails the "info" stuff which is
stimulating gambling in our cities, in
directly producing crime and promot-
ing fraud, and which is becoming a
distinct menace to the country's legit-
innate business.
Incidentally it should be known
that Mr.. Walsh is far from being
"reformer." That this measure was
not proposed by reform organiza-
tions." That it is in fact a police
measure in it's nature. That the opin-
ion of so-called reform organiza-
tions" is reached by the intellectual
conviction that what Mr.. Walsh pro-
poses is conducive to law and order
and to business prosperity.

The plunder of the pirates amount

One Chinese passenger was killed in

False Philosophy.

Those farmers who are being
made to believe that they are 60
ing to benefit largely by high
rates placed upon agricultural
products in the pending tariff
bill should give heed to the fol-
lowing statemen by Senator Un-
derwood, than whom there is no
higher authority on tariff taxa
tion in this country. Senator
Underwood said:
"The argument is used that
because taxes have been levied
on manufactured products. taxes
should be levied on agricultural
products, and if you are going to
penalize the American people by
taxation for the benefit of the
manufacturer, you should penal
ize them with taxation for the
benefit of the farmer.
IF ycu were going into that
false philosophy and going to
use the taxing power for some
purpose other than the revenues
of the Government, l might
very well concede that if you
could you should throw the
blanket of protection as far as
possible, if it was beneficial.
But 1 think where the fallacy o1
the argument comes is that un.
der the guise Of protection, un
der the guise of doing something
to help the agricultural interests
in some particular item, you asl

II wanted to become a buyer.
But an opportunity came to me
to take vacancy in our adver-

the women left. 1t was because
of my special knowledge of the
subject and the sense of compo-
sition I had developed during my
spare hours that this opportun-
ity was given to me. True, l

While waiting, then, for Sue

not be worth while to use a few
moments for planning a definite
aim and a definite plan for at

better humor than before, and
much to our surprise, he sat
down by the invalid he had curs-

Edging up to him, and nudging
him in the ribs, he said in a con-
fidential whisper, You will have

I acted a while ago. Fact is l am

Waiting for Success.

Every now and then some sue
cessful woman in business be-
gins to tell US not to wait for
success, but to 60 out and get it.
The law in itself is all right.
1t is the misinterpretation of it
that causes all the mischief.
One of the reasons there is so
much discomfort to-day lies in
the misunderstanding of this ad-
vice. We go out and try to
knock old opportunity square on
the head, and when we meet
with disappointment because op-
portunity did not respond to our
thrust we become discontented
and tell ourselves that it's all
luck-this success.
A safe balance to keep in
mind is the idea that anything
worth while does not come cas-
lily. If that were so, achieve
ment would be so abundant it
would become commonplace and
therefore of little value. It is
the high spot for Which we
reach, and which may be attain
ed by systematic effort, that is
worth while in the long run.
Many women in business have
had an opportunity come to
them and have been totally un.
prepared ia take it. Prepara-
ton is what lies behind the ad-
vice to seize opportunity when
you see il. Being prepared, by
making use of the time until op.
portunity does loom upon the ho-
rizon, is the surest way to at
tain success.
The point is admirably illus
trated by the following story,

incident as an example, and if

We were riding on the Ashland
Division of the C. & o. the other
day. At a station, a man got on.
We might say, the remains of a
man. He had been a soldier in
American Expeditionary Forces,
saw several months overseas, and
had contracted the dread disease
tuberculosis. 1t had made of
him a stoop-shouldered, emaciat-
ed fellow, a mere skeleton. He
had not been a very large man in
his prime, we imagine, and the
ravages of a long illness had re-
duced him in size to a diminutive
man.
He got on the train bound for
a famous springs, we later found
out, to try and regain his lost
health. Near the center of the
car, two seats were turned facing
each other. On one, there laid a
mans topcoat and travelling bag.
The other seat was vacant and
the window by it was open. The
man took this seat, wanting the
fresh air, we suppose, and not
feeling equal to the arduous task
of trying to raise a train window
He sat down arranged his bag
gage, which bespoke extreme
poverty. and prepared for the
tiresome trip. Hardly had he
finished this, when a terrible
racking cough shook his body
and he struggled for breath fol

In q few minutes. another mar

Sl25,o0o FIRE WHEN DANbURY MILL BURNS Sprinklers Did Not Work Owing to Break in Feed
 Will Rebuild

Danhlry, Feb 3.-I'ire early toda> destroyed the mill of the Beaver Brook Paper Mills. Inc, on the out skirts of this city, causing loss esti- mated at s125.ooo, partially covered by insurance
 The flames had received q big start when the fire was discovered, and famed by strong wind soon en- veloped the entire structure. The main plant had been built sixty years ago and burned quickly
 The sprinkler system did not work as, an investigation disclosed today, the six inch water main leading into the mill had broken during the night and no water was supplied to the system. The water pressure at the hy,lrant was low and the one piece of motor apparatus sent from the city was of no value in lighting the fire. The apparatus saved nearby dNell- ing house from catching fire.
 The mills were taken over about four years ago by the present OWL CTS. The plant furnished employ ment to about 25 people. It will be rebuilt as soon as possible.
