LOEW'S BIJOU

Al Shayne, '"The Singing Beauty" and well known musical comedy and vaudeville star, has the headliner of the vaudeville bill at Loew's Bijou this week, and something unique is prom ised by this star in this particular field.

By RAYMOND CHAPTER

1924)
 WASHINGTON, March 23.-Lead- CTS in each political party are develop ing their campaign plans upon the conviction that the scandal develop ments will be the pivot around which the presidential fight will be waged.
 Roughly, the two plans of campaign to be followed this summer are as fol- lows:
 1. Democratic leaders are bent on turning their campaign into crusade in which they will attempt to show that the republican party is entangled hopelessly with great private interests and that the administration has been engaged in relations with these inter- ests, some unlawful and some techni- cally legal, but harmful to the public interest. To this end they are seeking to nominate a candidate who will be invulnerable against charges of uneth- ical conduct either in his private or official life.
 Plan Shrewd Defensive
 2. Republican leaders, already de- termined to nominate President Cool idge, are planning a shr,wd defensive. They will discliam responsibility for the conduct of Albert B. Fall, and will emphasize that an attempt is be- ing made to undo his work. They will insist that this affair is being used as the basis for a general campaign of mud-slinging, inspired by political motives. Finally, they will dwell on Coolidge's attempts to obtain tax re- lief, constructive legislation to help the farmers. and his efforts to keep public affairs on an even keel during the present excitement.
 Not in years has there been a situa- tiOn so full of pitfalls and requiring so much astuteness and courage on the part of the directing generals of the two parties. For the democrats there is the constant danger of overplaying their hand and bringing about re- action such as the republicans precipi- tated in the Blaine campaign with the slogan of Rum, Romanism and rebel lion." For the republicans, there is the danger of understanding the effect of the network of charges now being made in the Senate investigations.
 Want Way Left Open.
 Democratic leaders are endeavoring to keep the situation as to the demo- cratic candidate from crystallizing be- fore the New York convention. They want to go there as the republicans went to Chicago in 1920, with divided

 Revival Plans Mooted- Plans for the forthcoming revival meeting of, the First Baptist church of Ensley and results of the canvass made last Sun day, were discussed at the church Sun day morning following the morning sermon. The canvass, it was declared, was the most complete of any census ever taken in Ensley, and indicated a potential strength of the Baptist church of 5000 members.
 The revival of the Baptist church will start next Sunday morning.
 Kiwanis Directors Meet--The board of directors of the ,Kiwanis club of Ensley, will hold a laeeting Monday afternoon in the directors room of the Bank of Ensley, at 5 o'clock. R. L. Bowron, chairman, called the meeting to pass upon the names of three pros pective members, and take care of some additional matters.

Khan Democracy

Amongst the most vehement and raving de-
tenders of pure American democracy, as en-
JJyed by the employers, is the hooded horde
of Kleagles and Cyclops of the Ku Klux Khan.
The principles Of this pure democracy and
hundred per cent Americanism are supposed
to be founded on the bedrock of the inviola-
bility of the ballot box. 1t is customary for
the Khan hooligans and gangsters to parade
about the country as the defenders of this
sacred American institution of peace and
civilization against the force and violence of
the wlld-eyed labor agitators, reds" and
foreigners.
Fortunately the great mass of workingmen
and farmers has not fallen for this hypocritical
talk OF the masked maniacs of capitalist re-
action. But perhaps the most damning evil
dence yet offered to unmask the dangerous
pretensions Of the Khan is the survey sent to
the United States Senate by Hume Graves, the
Texas Senate Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms, on the
election of the Khan Senator Earl r. Mayfield.
The findings show that the Khan was able to
send its agent to the Senate only thru commit
ting the worst frauds and outrages against the
very ballot box institution they have been de-
tending so vociferously in the open. Ballot
boxes were found unopened. Only ten of the
Loo precincts checked up so far have been
found to be within the law. Many election
officials have admitted that they wrote in May
fields name before handing out ballots. In
one county the ardent democrats even went so
far as to burn the ballots.
This conduct of the Khan is typical of all the
loud-mouthed capitalist enemies of the work.
ing class. The fraud and violence committed
by the Khan in the Texas election of Mayfeld
to the Senate show that all the blatant talk by
the employing class agents about the blessings
of democracy and the dangers of proletarian
rule is merely a smoke-screen of poison gas
behind which is hidden the iron rule of the
capitalist dictatorship over the working and
farming masses.

Fruits of Imperialism

Attentive observers of current politics know
that trade follows the flag. 1t is also gradually
becoming a commonplace that the flag follows
the dollar.
The why and wherefore of the United States
spending more than three million dollars an
nually on maintaining a fleet Of battleships
and torpedo boats, called the banana boats,
in the Caribbean in order to help certain Amer
lean capitalists exploit the weaker Latin re-
publics are put in the bold relief of the dollar
sign in the latest reports of the Cuba Company
and the United Fruit Company
These corporations are amongst the greatest
benefciaries of the imperialist policy the
United States is now pursuing in Central and
South America Their last financial reports
disclose some facts that are never told the
working masses when they are called upon to
finance punitive naval and military expedi-
lions to these countries in order ito save civil
ization." 1t is also rather instructive colncl-
dence that the two corporations were born IN
the very years in which America launched its
offensive imperialist campaign.
Since 1900 the United Fruit Company,
operating in these Latin republics, has already
paid out nearly S150,00O,000 in dividends
alone. In the last seven years alone it has al
most doubled its assets. Last year it made a
net profit of more than % per cent, or $685.
097,33O.
The story of the Cuba Company, which owns
many miles of Cuban railroads and sugar
fields, is no different. This corporation has
recently come under the thumb of the New
York Central Railroad. Last year the Cuba
Company's railroad profits alone exceeded the
1922 figures by more than five million dollars.
These are some of the sweet fruits of inn
perialism garnered by our capitalist class. Our
school teachers never tell our children about
these-eold dollar and cents advantages of i'm
perialism to the employing class. Our dollar
democrats and dollar diplomats are usually
silent about this side of our "civilizing" activ-
ties in the Latin countries. But every one of
these dollars has come into the world Sweat
ing blood and dirt from its pores" as Marx
would say. Every one of these dollars of
titanic profits pocketed by our leading citizens
IS only the CONCEALED sweat and blood of the
exploited and suppressed masses in these So
called backward countries.
More than that. The sweet fruits of impe-
rialism are the fruits of death to the American
working and farming masses. The continual
ton of this system Of capitalist imperialist
plumber is dependent on the maintenance of
huge armies and giant battle-feets. These
sweet fruits of imperialism have within them
the germs of war and all the fendish destruc-
ton of working class life that war entails.

Honoring an Enemy ofLabor

The Chicago Federation of Labor at its last
meeting passed motion expressing the sorrow
of the organization over the death of Thomas
Woodrow Wilson, the champion political
mountebank of the world and the grave digger
of what little freedom escaped the attention
of the capitalist class before this country en-
tered the world war in 1917, to serve the in
terests of the American plunderbund.
The motion might not have passed had not
John Fitzpatrick, former progressive" shut
off discussion before the class conscious dele
gates could take the floor and expose this
charlatan Wilson as an enemy of labor
Fitzpatrick has not alone brazenly taken his
place with the lackeys of Gompersism but he
has not even the courage to allow those who
oppose his backward crawl, the right to ex-
press their views on questions involving the
honor of the labor movement.
The Chicago Federation of Labor expressed
no regret over the death Of Nicolai Lenin, the
leader of world labor; man whose name will
stand out on the pages of history when Will
sons will be lost in the abyss of oblivion.
Lenin the foe of oppression and the brilliant
strategist whose every thought was for the
emancipation of his class passed away with
the Chicago Federation Of Labor as silent as
the Chicago Chamber of Commerce.
Woodrow Wilson, the double crosser. the
intellectual tin can, the man who violated
every principle he ever stood for, the man who
issued injunctions against the workers. loosed
a horde of stool pigeons among the American
workers. invaded Russia without authorize
ton of Congress and committed other crimes
too numerous to mention, is honored in death
by the representatives of the workers he cruel
fed when living. The twenty-three delegates
who voted against the motion deserve the
thanks of all honest workers
