Curious Boy
Unearths Band
ALLEGED Communists

st. Joseph, Mich, Nov. 25-Twenty
alleged leaders of the Communist
Party of America-represen in
this country of the Third Interna-
ticnal and the Russian Soviet gov
ernment-are scheduled to go on
trial in Berrien county circuit court
Monday, charged with teaching and
advocating the overthrow of the
United States government by force
and violence.
Their arrest grew out of a meeting
held in a wooded gorge in the wild
sand dune country twenty miles
south of st. Joseph, on the shores of
Lake Michigan, last August. The
meeting. the government alleges, was
the national convention of the Com
nlunist Party of America.
Although the warrant on which
they were arrested names seventy
six men and women as having been
present at the meeting, only sixteen
were found there when federal and
state agents, led by Sheriff George
Bridgeman, swooped down on the
sylvan retreat in the early hours of
August %. The others. government
agents claim, fed when they were
warned.
A farmer boy whose curiosity had
led him to spy on the sand dune con-
vention told the raiders he had seen
the prisoners bury something in the
woods, and he led them to a spot
where, under a carefully arranged
covering of fallen leaves, they dug up
three barrels, filed with typewriters,
Duplicating machines, books, papers,
letters, reports, manuscripts, brief
cases and pamphlets.
On the strength Of information
found among those papers w. z.
Foster leader of the 1919 steel strike,
ard two other men were arrested at
Chicago and extradited to Michigan:
and Joseph Zsak was arrested and
brought back from New York, bring
ing the total Of prisoners up to
twenty.
Because of the expense involved in
hunting down and bringing back the
fifty-six others who the government
charges attended the convention, no
effort has been made to locate them.
Among the fifty-six for whom war
rants have been issued are Rose Pas
tor Stokes, who was pardoned from
Ieavenworth penitentiary by the
president.

An international labor strike

An international labor strike in
event of war is a plan not meeting
with favor among the laboring men
of this country to their credit be
it said. They have not forgotten,
evidently, how the Socialists were
TO prevent war by refusing to par
ticipate, but when war came the
German Socialists became a mere
part of the great war machine. An
international strike in time of war
if it were universal, which is in
credible. would mean the subversion
Of government, RELOCATING the power
to rule into the hands of the labor
union. Even if level headed labor
men did not shrink from assuming
such responsibility they are forced
to the conclusion that such a state
of affairs inevitably would be of
short duration and would contribute
in almost endless ways to confusion
and disaster.

Arab Tribes
Menace Palestine

London. Nov. S.-Very serious
trouble is brewing in Palestine. ac-
cording the News Of the--World"
which states that General Tudor and
other officials or the spot regard the
future with grave apprehension"
The Arabs on the border and in
Palestine itself, the paper says, may
at any time attack the Jewish immi-
grants whom they regard with deep
rooted hostility. The governments
authority is being openly flouted by
what is known as the "Moslem Chris
tian Association"
A manifesto has been issued CALI
ing upon the population to disobey
the instructions issued for the taking
of the census, and the Association
has decided to invoke the aid OF
kemal Pasha, the Turkish National
list leader.
"Our position" continues the News
of the World, lis amazing. In effect,
without any advantage to ourselves.
and under a mandate from the
League of Nations, we are holding
Palestine at the cost of many millions
a year for the benefit of Jewish immi-
grants, and thus mourning the hos
tility Of the Arabs.
1--WE may shortly find ourselves
faced in Palestine with situation
similar to that in Turkey. We shall
either have to fight or give way
The question is, what would we be
fighting for, and what would we gain
by fighting?
1.-The problem Is not an easy one
the paper adds. Owing to the action
Of Great Britain. America and
France, thousands of Jews have gone
to settle in Palestine. 1t would be
interesting to know how much per
head per annum each Jewish immi-
grant is costing Great Britain.
1.-The scheme for the settlement OF
| the East has broken down, in great
| measure, owing to the neglect of the
United States to back up the treaties
| which she took so great a part in
preparing. But whatever may be the
cause, now is the time for peaceful
action and for the definition of a
| policy"

Perfume Flowers
An Italian Trade

Genoa, Nov. 4-Itaiy Is developing
a new industry, the growing of flow
ers for the distillation of perfumes
and essential oils. Flower produc-
ticn for these purposes is encouraged
in the southern provinces. and it is
represented that the Irofits to be ex-
pected are large. compared to STAN
dard returns from other crops.
Experts have studied the situation
and report hopefully. They say Italy
is favored dramatically, and that she
has a monopoly already in the pro-
duction of bergamotte, basic es-
scnce used in virtually all perfumery.
Bcrdighera, on the Italian Riviera.
promises to be a center of the new
industry.
The perfumes manufactured in
Italy already have been favorably re-
oeived both at home and abroad, es-
pecially in South America and the
Near East.

Modern Ideas In
British Prisons

London, Nov. S.-Prison reform In
England lags far behind what has
been accomplished in America, but 1t
has even so made such progress that
some critics are declaring too much
is being done in the direction OF
making things easy and comfortable
for convictS.
In their annual report the Com
missioners of Prisons have foreseen
this charge. and have answered 1t.
TT Is our duty" they say. "as the
custodians of those who are for a
time forcibly separated from life in
the civic community, to restore them
to it at least as fit as when we re-
ceived them. To this end we should
feed and exercise their minds as
well as their bodies. else we shall re-
store them to the stern competition
of life outside quite unified to take
their part in it."
Within the last twelve months
changes have been effected in the
treatment Of convicts~ that would
| have been regarded as revolutionary
few years ago. These are all in the
direction of recognizing that even
convicts are human beings, and that
the punishment of the inmates is not
the primary object Of prisons.
The broad arrow, everywhere
known as the badge of the convict, no
longer appears on prison garments.
They have now no distinctive mark
ings. Neither is it any longer in
sisted that the hair of convicts be
clipped close to the scalp. The rules
prohibiting conversation between
prisoners while at work have been
greatly relaxed. Convicts are no
longer required to receive their Wis
itors from the outside world behind
bars OF wire netting.
Concerts, plays and lectures are
| today given in many jails. Convicts.
| by good conduct, may earn the>privi-
| lege of smoking at times. Stern dis
ciplinarians of the old school would
have regarded such indulgencies as
utterly subversive of everything for
which prisons have been instituted in
civilized communities. But the re-
ports Of prison governors and chap
| lains show that smoking may be one
| of the most effective means Of re-
| storing a prisoners self-respect.
The report Of the commissioners
notes that the return to prisons OF
persons previously convicted Is
greater among women than among
men. The percentage being so and
! 81 respectively.

Editors Letter Box
Thoughts Of a Taxpayer

Editor X. j.:
l am very much interested in the
many appropriations being asked
for, and 1 am also interested to know
where the money is coming from to
grant all these requests for money.
Is it coming out of the taxpayers Of
Maine? If SO it seems as though it
would place a great hardship on the
poor taxpayers that have all they
can do now to live. OF course those
that have means and a surplus be-
side can stand it, but those that
have only a little home and are taxed
now far beyond what they are able
to pay, it is an additional hardship.
But taxes must be paid or your home
is advertised for sale. What benefit
is it to the poor taxpayer whether
the L. of NJ. has a gymnasium or
those that have thousands of dollars
salary have an increase in their SAL
airy, or the State Library must have
an institution costing S1,500.00 and
many others l could mention. I think
what interests them more just now
is how they are going to get through
a cold winter and have a few COM
forts of life themselves, such as coal
and wood and other things which are
essential and we can't do without,
no matter what the cost, which is
very high now.
If a Door man came to your door
and asked for bread he would be
turned over to the police as tramp,
but today on almost every turn you
make is a professional beggar and
the more he gets out of you the
best man he is. Can anyone wonder
why there is so much unrest among
the people when the poor are made
poorer and the rich are made richer,
and prQfiteers filling their pockets.
/ hope our coming legislature will
BE Decently Reasonable"
