Bolshevism and atheism cannot be blamed for the
famine in Ireland. The opposite might be much
nearer the truth. AS in 1S47 there is enough food
in Ireland today to feed ten times the population,
but under capitalism food, like all other com
modities, is produced for profit and not for con
sumption.

The failure of the French police to find single
Russian among the three hundred Communists
arrested yesterday must be a severe disappoint
ment to the French capitalist press.
The stereotyped formula for the explanation OF
revolutionary movements is 'foreign agitators'
and it is consequently embarrassing to have to ad
nit that the native working class is capable with
out inspiration from abroad, of resenting and
fighting the expressions Of capitalism which, in
France particularly, lives principally the does

the Porter Idaho Syndicate.
TO the Unit Owners:-
The Trustees closed down the
operations at the end of Oct
lober, 1924, for the reason that
owing to the delay of 80 days
lin getting the pack train to the
mine, it was impossible to con-
lstruct quarters suitable for
winter operations. During the
short season, however, from
July the Gath to the end of
October, one hundred sixty
(16O) tons of high grade ore,
averaging $40 per ton, were
Extracted and shipped. Four
hundred fifty (45O) feet of
development tunnel was driv-
len exposing large bodies of ore,
from which samples were TAX

Thousand tons of this ore were
broken down in extracting
high grade ore, some of which

mains in the tunnels.

the unit owners in a later re-
iport.

The wild bull could do nothing

the Argentine giant, raining blows
upon his face and body. Both went

1 agree thoroughly with him.
This ought to make a most inter
esting competition. When I first
began, to play golf men of fifty
and sixty were among the best
players, but now the young boys
have pressed them so hard that
even the man beyond thirty is hav'
ing a hard time to hold his place,
vet these men really play very
good games. 1t is merely that they
have not a chance against the
strength and leisure of youth.
It would be an interesting thing
II they could look forward with
pleasure to the opportunity OF
winning q National Senior Cham
piOnship later on. The thrill Of
victory would come back to them
even after they had lost their
fleetness of foot, their power to
endure, and their ability to throw.
/ myself would like to be a
member of the gallery that could
watch the seniors in national
tournament. I recall watching two
presidents of railroads who had
passed the limits for junior tourna-
ments, and they were engaged in
a very keen competition. In fact J.
do not think l have ever seen a
keener match. doubt If they had
slept the night before. and every
shot found them breathing deeply
and trying to gather their strength
which was being dissipated by very
general nervousness as all boys at
their first game.
l would like to see this idea car
ried out, and I think that a good
place to hold such a tournament
would be Indianapolis. They have
a very fine senior golfer there, Mr..
Ed, Lennox, a man of probably
sixty years Of age. His fellow citi-
zens consider him the finest senior
golfer in the country, and they
would gladly welcome the senior
golfers Of other cities to national
tournament in which his ability and
that of the other seniors could be
