HALLOWEEN
MASQUERADE SOCIAL

The U. G. B. social on Tuesday ev-
ening, Oct. 81, was hummer. A big
crowd of the colonists were in costume
and masked and had hilarious time.
There were all sorts and conditions of
people personified in dress and man
ners, and TO name and describe every
one would take page Of the paper,
and then not do the subject justice.
But everyone. oplookers, as well as
had glorious good time.
Dancing and singing and the grand
march were the events Of the evening.
The social life of Llano is glorious and
cannot be excelled anywhere. When
people quit competing with one an
other and are no longer engaged in
industrial and commercial warfare, the
real social side of man and woman can
develop into real lovable and loving
character. Love. goodwill, is the full
fillment (the resuItanD of observing
the law of reciprocity-mutua ser

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE?
(Ry The Federated Pressl

Washington.-Ihree events Of mo-
mentous importance are scheduled for
early announcement in Europe. In
the order Of their probable disclosure
these events are:
Formal and official bankruptcy of
the German government.
Seizure of the Ruhr valley coal dis
trlct by France and subsequent expIo-
ltatlon of that and other German re-
sources by a combination of French
and German capital, engineered by
Hugo SHINES.
Agreement by Great Britain to this
French triumph in return for French
support of the British against Turkey,
for the recovery of British concessions
and prestige in the near east.
Two raw products are vital to the
independence of French industry, and
both of them she will acquire under the
present program. These products are
supply of coal that will produce good
coke, and petroleum. French coal,
even that lately seized in the Saar val
ley, does not make good after the Unit
ed States in steel making resources
excepting coaD and her dominance
in that respect will be complete in Eu-
rope when she acquires the Ruhr dis
|trict.
To free herself from the British and
American oil monopoIies, France must
turn to Russia, and the straight road
to Russia lies through Germany.

Mexico City.-Anent recent reports
in the daily press Of this city regarding
the alarm of the Harding administra-
lion at the growth Of communism and
the radical movement in the United
States. President Obregon, in an inter
view with the press, gave some peril
nent advice to capitalists on methods
of preserving ruling class dominance
during transition periods.
Throughout the entire world the
desire for social betterment has pro-
gressed in its various forms, such as
communism or syndicalism, which are
the different phases of socialism which
have made many conquests at the pre-
sent time.
The skill of governments consist in
guiding these tendencies seeking a
harmony between the workers and the
capitalists on the basis of betterment
for the workers, without attempting to
oppose an absolute resistance because
that runs the risk of provoking vio-
lence and resulting fights between the
different classes that compose society.
"The role of modern craftsmanship
should not depend upon established
precedents, because the present situa-
ton reveals original aspects which can
not be solved with the forms used in
past times. =
In my opinion all humanity is suf-
fering a transition, and the country
most fortunate, surely, should be that
whose rulers have the rare ability to
establish bridge between that which
was and that which ought to be; sue
ceeding in caryring their respective
peoples to the modern life which shall
satisfy the ethical and just aspirations
which the majority demand, and avoid
ing those breaches whose consequen-
ces it would be difficult to predict.
This labor would be greatly facili-
tated for the rulers who desire to real
lie this program if capital would place
before its eyes lenses Of greater cap
acity that would permit it to enyisage

A HALLOWEEN SHOW

Llano colonists and their friends en-
j6yed a dandy show on Sunday night,
October 20. Halloween gave it its
special character. The orchestra came
80 the bat and had the first inning. 1t
may have been witches chorus, or
some other pertinent piece of music,
for all this writer knows, but it was
mighty good just the same. Mrs. Can
trell, our Llano songbird, who is about
to go on a visit to California, render
ed the next number on the program.
She is beautiful singer and had to
encore with an additional song to sat
lsfy the requirements of the audience.
Comrade Coleman gave an interesting
talk upon he origin and significance
of Halloween as a memorial of de-
parted dead. While he was talking, all
kinds of goblins were in evidence and
played their pranks. Doris Chappelle
recited Mine Little Goblin" very dra-
matically and earned hearty applause.
Doris Fenton, Harold Kemp, Freder-
lex Busick, and Rachel Jacques gave
nice little song and acquitted them
selves handsomely. David Lindsey
got sort Of gay and recited poem by
the Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb
Riley, with the refrain. "The goblins

who were tried and found guilty IN

this country on similar charge uith
the same evidence, would have been
executed.
In those words. Frank P. walsh
summed up his comments on the Mos
COW trial, having attended Tie closinp
sessions on his return trip to Russia
He paid tribute to the courage e tbe
accused Social Revolutionaries, but
added that their own admission n
court were sufficient to convict them.
Of still more interest, perhaps. was
Walsh's comparison, Of the Russian
criminal procedure and the attitude Of
the court toward the defendants in the
face of widespread and bitter public
feeling against the defendants. His
observations were based. he said, on
many years experience in American
courts in criminal cases.
"A most striking thing about Tie
Moscow trial" he said. was the uni-s
tormly courteous and fair attitude of
the members Of the Revolutionary
tribunal toward the defendants. This
was in contrast 10 the whole atmos-
phere and conduct of the trials of men
accused under the American sedition
/ laws during and after the war, in which
prosecutors showed venomous and
bitter hatred Of the men on trial.
He remarked that with only one or
two exceptions the summing up argu-
ments were delivered by both sidss
with singular lack Of the antics and
appeal to passion and prejudice which
marks criminals actions and par
tlcularly sedition trials in the United
States.

POOL ROOMS

Failure of numbers of the pool halls on Maui to obey the regu-
lations as to hours for their operation sought to be imposed through
the county treasurer is a foolhardy thing on their part. 1t will al
most inevitably result in legislation at the next session far more
drastic than anything that has been undertaken thus far. Such an
attitude on the part of the pool halls too closely resembles the ola
time attitude of the saloons which by failure to live up to regula-
tons met with humiliation. The course of defiance that such POOL
halls are pursuing will serve only to put them in worse disreputc
than they are today and to make the general public resent their
attitude.
At the last session of the legislature pool room regulation was
proposed but was side tracked. In Honolulu there is now an ag'ta-
tin for a renewing of the effort. At the last session the legislators
from Maui were for the bill but those from Kauai and Hawaii took
little interest in the proposal but if resistance to the regulation IN
dertaken by a Maui County officer be persisted in, the Maui legisla-
tors will be looked to as an aid for the overcoming OF such resistance.
1t was reported the bill died in the house following a dinner to
some house members by a Honolulu pool hall proprietor.
1t is not desired to eliminate pool halls for property conducted
they serve their purpose as a place OF entertainment, amusement
and recreation. Improperly conducted they are a nuisance, a loafng
place for the idle, a resort for criminal classes, an eyesore to the
community and a deterrent to industry.
If the law for the licensing of billiard tables and bowling alleys
and the regulation of pool tables does not mean, as is being con-
tended, that pool tables are to pay a license tax and the hours for
the conduct of pool halls may be regulated by the county treasurer
it is a perfectly simple matter to amend the law so that there will
be no doubt upon the inclusion and at the same time to limit the
number of tables that can be operated to a percentage ot the popula-
ton and fixing definitely the hours.
Business sentiment has demanded the closing of pool rooms for
certain hours of the business day owing to the shortage OF labor
which makes it desirable to secure the labor of all able bodied men
in some useful occupation, the churches favor regulations because
the tendency of pool rooms az now conducted is not considered by
them as elevating or conducive to morality and the police depart
ment has said that they are the places where sneak thieves, burglars
and other criminals congregate. Counter to such sentiment the pool
rooms cannot go long and if the regulations that are subsequently
imposed seem a hardship those who have taken the attitude COM
planned of must shoulder the responsibility.
