How many "reds" are there in the
United States? When is man red
and when is he only pale pink"
Nobody seems to know. The American
Bar Association, through its Committee
on American Citizenship, believes that
there are a million and half 'reds. y
Other civic organizations with a different
definition of what is a red put the num-
Der much lower.
The man in the street understands by "a
red" person who wants to overthrow the
Government, who believes in the Soviet
rather than in representative government,
who thinks the sword and the torch, the in
dustrial revolution and the commune, are
better than the economic structure of this
or any other civilized country.
But many an alleged 'red" is only "pale
pink" in the sunlight!
By "a pale pink" most of us understand
a man who is radical in ideas, in that he
believes the present order of things is due
for change made in an orderly and legal
manner. A "pale pink" may believe whole
heartedly in commune Tin which every
body share in everything, in which all are
equally wealthy, and yet desire to bring
about such a state of affairs by educating
people to demand such an amendment to
the constitution as will insure that plan. A
fred" may strongly desire child labor to be
forbidden, education made free to ALL
government ownership and building of
national highways and other good" ideas,
and yet think the best way to get them is
to start with revolution, battle, murder
sudden death!
The "pale pink" radical is not menace
The "red' is. That there are million
and half men and women in this country
who want revolution is unthinkable. That
there are not more than million and
half "pale pink people is probable; pros
perity always decreases and hard times in
crease their number
All good Americans are on guard
against the real "red," but it is not in
herent in any red-blooded American to be
scared of an army of reds which is
really very pale pink. Only a few hot
heads really try to invade American sanity
with anarchy. Let us concentrate on these,
and not scatter our efforts to make this
land one hundred per cent American by
worrying over the harmless "pale pink"

Let 1t Be Definite

The average citizen seems to feel that
he is not qualified to discuss the Muscle
Shoals project and the disposition of this
great public property by Congress, due to
the magnitude of the transaction involved.
AS matter of fact, the property be-
longs to the people and the way it stands
now Henry Ford has made a proposition
to lease it from the government for pc
Rod Of 100 years at a very low rental, part
of the consideration for which seems to be
that he will undertake to make cheap ferti-
lizer. This latter point, however, is ap-
parently indefinite as to quantity or price
If man leased farm to a third party
on condition that he clear out so many
stumps per year and the lessee failed to
live up to his agreement, good lease
would provide that the land revert to the
lessor, and not be left with the lessee for
speculative purposes.
After all verbage is brushed away, it
would seem that this is about the situation
in regard to Muscle Shoals and the public
interest should be protected along these
lines whether lease is made to Henry
Ford or anybody else. This property
should not be used as the basis of private
speculation.

More Unemployment Insurance"

Big eastern soap manufacturers have
adopted form of unemployment insur-
ance" The company adds to its profit
sharing scheme a clause that guarantees
full pay for full-time work for not less
than AZ hours per week in each calendar
year." In other words, the company in
sures its employees steady work, unusual
circumstances alone excepted.
1t applies unemployment insurance"
from within. And it adopts the right form
of insurance-steady work, not "doles."
Here is another example of foresight, and
it is referred to manufacturers for consid-
Grafton.
In number Of states unemployment in
surance has been considered by the legis-
latures. State machinery, a state system
of employment offices and compulsory
insurance department were to be forced
upon industry and the taxpayer
Industries must employ fair number of
men regularly, not horde irregularly, un-
less they want to witness proposals in leg
islatures for unemployment insurance bills

Everybody Loaf

A dispatch from Washington, says:
Passive sabotage" has been adopted by
the Industrial Workers of the World to
make lumber production Improbable, the
national lumber manufacturers asserted in
statement, quoting an order it said had
gone out in a bulletin to the lumber
workers in Chicago I. w. W. publication.
Everybody on the job, but everybody
loaf" was an admonition in the order as
quoted in the statement.
That appears to be the trouble today
not alone among the lumber workers, in all
other industries. Everybody on the job,
but everybody loaf" That is what is be-
ing done. The main effort seems to be to
get as much wages as possible and perform
as little service as possible in return and
stay on the payroll. And yet we belly
ache about the increasing cost of living.
How can it be otherwise if everybody loafs
on the job and brings about a condition
where the supply doesn't keep pace or a
little in the lead of the demand. Loafng
on the job or inefficiency is bound to in
crease the cost of production of an article
and common sense will tell you that you
can't expect to buy an article for fifty
cents that cost dollar to produce. Over
production, the natural law of supply and
demand is the only thing that will reduce
the cost of living and the workers have it
in their hands to make the reduction, but
it can't be done through sixty per cent
efficiency by loafing on the job.-Western
Nevada Miner.

Today Is Here-Use It!

A man must be good or make room-gc
forward or drop back. No man can stand
still in any position. To mark time in
modern life is impossible. This statement
applies to class, creed, sex or circumstan.
ces-rich, poor, comfortable or cramped
In an interview with one of Americas
most successful men, the statement was
made that not one man in fifty renders in
telligent service. Look around you. Check
them up and see if this is true.
The next successful man interviewed
doubled the number of people who are in
capable or Indifferent. He claimed there
are ninety-nine who lack intelligent enthu-
siasm, and a sincere desire to serve, to
every one that is eager and ambitious,
conscientious and courageous.
You may not be ready to accept a posi-
ton of responsibility today, but today is
the day to begin to get ready.
And the one thing that you must do in
order to fill position Of responsibility is
to find what faults are holding you back,
and then correct these faults. Gloss over
your faults, excuse your shortcomings, and
you are not yet ready for greater response
