GIRL RIDES HERE
FROM CANADA
ON HORSE
Makes Trip in 80 Days-Asks
President to Visit Domin-
ion Anniversary

President Coolidge had added to
his White House souvenirs a dainty
bit of parchment. On it is in
Scribed the invitation to attend the
celebration Of the 140th anniversary
OF the opening up to settlement of
northern Canada. The anniversary
celebration takes place June Is.
1t is not believed that the Presi-
dent will find 1t possible to make
the 7O0-mile trip but his well
wishes" will certainly be there.
The invitation was delivered to
the President by Miss Gwendolen
LaZier, who at the age of eighteen
has the distinction awarded her of
making the longest horseback ride
during the past so years. She
covered the distance between her
home, Belleville, Ontario, and Wash
ington in thirty.two days. The
journey cost her approximately $40
for road expenses. out of which
she bought a number of articles of
wearing apparel. Tip" her war
horse, once the property Of a Brit
ish officer, like his mistress, seems
little the worse for his lonE-dis-
lance hike. 1t would probably
comfort him to know, however, that
his return trip will be made by rail
with all OF the attentions shown
him horse Of his consequence can
command.
Miss Lazier declares her adven.
ture to have been a delightful real
ization Of plans she had made for
Just such ride. Everywhere she
appeared she met the most hos.
pitable receptions. Washington an.
peals to her. Everything is being
done to make her stay in the city
the browning delight Of her trip.
In addition to the invitation for
President Coolidge she brought
others to Chief Justice Taft, Sir
Esme Howard and Commissioners
Cuno Rudolph.
Leaving here today she will stop
off in Baltimore for several days
before returning home. Since her
arrival she has been under the
care Of Mounted Policeman Ernest
TaylOr.

A DAYS
WALK

From the windows of Louis
Dougher's sporting department,
and later from in front of our
building, with Mr.. Evans, Tom
Moore's right-hand man, we watch
ed the Memorial Day procession
yesterday morning.
The generations passed in re-
view-three generations of fight
ing men. In the ever.thinning
blue line of the G. A. r. were
ture should never have marched
but they would rather have been
dead than miss Memorial Day
procession.
The Spanish War veterans fol-
lowed, and some Of these had been
aged before their time by the war
with disease in the swamp camps
of the South. Bill Franklin, STEP
ping out far to leeward, had q
prominent position in the Amer
lean Legion contingent.
And amid the anti-war talk, we
couldn't help thinking that some
day the American Legion may lead
other generations of soldiers in
the pilgrimage to Arlington.
The weather is slowly striving
for perfection, yesterday being
clear but chilly. But the cold
didn't keep anybody In, and
brought out goodly crop of old
familiar faces.
Mitt Schrivener yelled to us
from his roadster as we passed
north on Fourteenth. Tommy
Thompson and Colonel Wallace
Craigie and Emmett DAILY engaged
in various spaghetti contests in
the Roma Rest, where a nervous
waiter asked for our order four
times, checked over the bill thrice
and forgot forks in his solicltous
haste.
Martin Leese, refusing further
to brave the cool evening unpro-
tected, struggled into his topcoat
at Twelfth and @. Larry Beatus
held forth in Brownley's.
Very little Audrey Durity, all
dressed up in red, sang Dream
Daddy" at Estelle Murray'S class
showing-off Thursday night. Her
emphatic enunciation of daddy"
was so outstandingly sincere that
nobody was surprised when, after
her charming performance, the
youthful diva invaded the aisles
and sought her daddy for several
noisy minutes.
Listening to President Cal
Coolidge on the radio yesterday,
we observed that his address at
Arlington was the first memorial
service speech we had ever heard
applauded
1t was also noted that the
President couldn't even stop to
clear his throat without some en-
thusiasts thinking this was the
right place to clap their hands,
which they did with great JUNCTION
and eclat.
And as a parting word, my
friends, let me advise you to look
at the opening installment of the
Tired Business Mems Pageant in
this column on Monday.
1t will he saturnalia of COM
mercial nonsense, and all satur-
malta lovers cannot affort to miss

might say in this connection.

Here Comes Red Week

While the capitalist political wizards are dig
ging their beaks into their respective dung piles
looking for filth to hur at each other in the mad
scramble to land in the White House after Novem-
Der 4, and hang out their shingles political
specialists for Morgan and company, the Com
munists are busy fitting out the workers with
spectaces that will enable them to straight and
later on consign the capitalists and their system
to the museum of history.
Between October 26 and November 2, the Com
munists of America will distribute millions of
pieces of literature. While the capitalist parties
pedde hokum, having for its object the confusion
of the masses, the Workers Party spreads educa
tional propaganda which insists the workers
using their power to solve their own problems.
The solution of those problems cannot be even
seriously attempted until the workers take the
reins of government into their own hands. How
this can be done is told in these pieces of literature
1t is short, snappy and convincing.
The Workers Party is now full fedged political
party. 1t is waging the political struggle on all
fronts. The job in front of us is to increase its
efficiency fighting revolutionary political party.

Onfke EUe of a Great Anniversary

Our hearts begin to beat faster and our minds
think quicker every year at this time when we
approach the annual anniversary of the Russian
3oshevist revolution 1t is our day of days, the
guide and beacon for our lives and struggles
November z 1924 will mark the completion of
seven years-mark the number !-seven years OF
rule in a country of nearly $50 million
people, occupying about onesixth of the globes
surface And on November of this year the class
conscious workers of the world will again join III
mighty chorus of iubilation at the greatest vic
tory of their class the success of the Russian revo
luton as embodied in the triumphant existence OF
the Union Of Socialist Soviet Republics.
The Workers Party of America, section of the
Communist International, has already begun
preparations for the celebration Of the great an
niversary In every nook and corner of the land,
where militant proletarians are struggling for
better day. there will be heard, on the day of
celebration, the voice of triumph and brotherly
greetings to the brave fighters in the Russian revo-
luton.
We shall make it the occasion for more militancy
and more intensive struggle against our own
masters the capitalists of the United States. We
shall renew the building of party and our press
with increased vigor and determination For it
is only by a militant struggle against our Gown"
capitalism, looking toward the day of its complete
ILLUMINATION, that the American working class can
properly celebrate the great anniversary Of the
Russian BOIshevist revolution. y

Dying Liberalism

The present election campaign in Great Britain
shows that Liberalism in politics is its deathbed
in that country. The liberal party has 100 less
candidates in the field this year than in the last
election, while the number of labor candidates has
increased by over one hundred.
A united front between the conservatives and the
liberals has been established in constituencies
where three cornered contest would be considered
to the advantage of the labor party candidate.
ManifestOs carrying practically the same mes
sage have been sent from the headquarters of the
conservative and liberal parties The Soviet treaty
is the main object of attack
Lord Beaverbrook, publisher, who helped to
make Lloyd George head of the government during
the war, again calls on the "Wesh wizard" to head
a coalition cabinet. Winston Churchill has joined
the tories The militant conservatives in the liberal
party are joining the tory party Those not so
militantly conservative are coming to the labor
party. A new orientation is taking place which
is resulting in the passing of the once powerful
liberal party.

DOdging a Big Issue

Coolidge declares that unemployment has dis
appeared" Davis says he will make it disappear
if put in Coolidge's place, while LaFollette is
silent on the subject The effect of the position of
each of these capitalist candidates is the same,
so far as the workers are concerned. In each case
it is but a means of evading that which is the
biggest issue before the working class The only
proposal for action that will enable the workers
to combat the menace of unemployment which
threatens to destroy the labor unions and all the
small achievements, painfully won thru years Of
struggle of the labor movement comes from the
Workers Party, the party of the Communists in
America.
There no false promises in the Communist
proposals Foster does not tell the workers that
if they vote for him that thereby the unemploy-
ment problem will be solved. No, the Communists
tell the workers of America that they can win
nothing without relentless struggle against the
ruling capitalist class Paper ballots cast in the
election are well enough if cast for Communism,
as means of agitation and mobilization of the
workers for the struggle-but the struggle itself
comes in the shops factories Streets unions
wherever the of workers gather their
strength and wherever they come into conflict with
the repressiye powers of capitalism.
Only thru struggle can the workers win any adj
vancement whatever. And in the question of un
employment the only program of struggle is that
given to the working class by the Workers (Com
munist) Party. vote for the Communist can
didates in this election is an enlistment in the
struggle against unemployment on the lines of the
Communist program All workers, organized or
lnorganized, must close their ranks in solidarity
for this struggle. The alternative is to see our
rganizations melt away before the coming on
slaughts of the Morgan Rockefeller-G Gary Dawes
forces Of the 'open shop" The fight against unem-
loyment is the chief issue before the American
working class.
