Butterfly HeaUens

A field know where thistles grow
 And overhead blue skies lean down, While deep woods fold it close about
 It seems a thousand miles from town! The crickets chirp, the wild birds sing
 Exultantly in leafy trees, And over all the shining field
 Gay butterflies fit on the breeze. And some are tiny winked gems,
 And some are garden blooms astray, And some are flames lit by the sun
 To burn throughout Summers day. A little while, and gleaming wings
 Must fade to dim and dusty brown,
 And then the first autumnal gale
 These tiny airplanes shall beat down. Yet what mere mortal would not soar
 In golden air, like butterflies, Where Love meets Beauty for an hour
 And, knowing rapture, swiftly dies -Elizabeth Newport Hepburn in New YOl Times.

TrOtsLy On The Commune Of '71.

Debating the commune of Paris before the graduating class of the military academy in Moscow, Leon Trotsky compares the work of the Paris commune of 1871 with the Bolshe- vist revolution. We are taking measures to prevent the fate of the commune The com mune was crushed. But we are inflicting heavy blows on the executioners of the com mune. We shall avenge it." he says. The commune of Paris was a hopeless adventure from the beginning. One writer called it's war department "a dark room in which all collided." The offices of the ministry were filled with generals and ordinary guards all talking at once. With such an apparatus the communards thought to seize the reigns of government The end was massacre. Fiaux said of it We have to recall the proscrip- tions of Sulla, Anthony and Octavius to meet such massacres in the history of civilized na- tions The religious wars under the last Valois, the night of St. Bartholomew, the Reign of Terror, were in comparison with it. child's play. In the last week of May alone, in Paris, -17 ,000 corpses of the insurgent fed. erals were picked up and the killing was still going on about June 15." In recent modern history that massacre may be compared with one, yet one of which the world has heard very little, the slaughter of 75.000 reds in Finland three years ago, and of course the never-abating terror of the soviets against the remnants of the middle classes.

The time is growing short in which to com plete the swing of votes to. tet Democratic ticket What is done must be done within three weeks. Those who expect to contribute to the campaign fund should do so now if they want their money to do the utmost good.
 It begins to look as if tine Borah resolution of inquiry will keep the Republican contribu- cions lower than they would otherwise be. Therefore, the Democrats are not under the heavy financial handicap that has often kept them out of the White House.
 A dollar counts more in this campaign than it has in previous campaigns, for it has to offset fewer privilege dollars on. the other side.
 Contribute to the Democratic effort and to the success of John W. Davis.
 Party loyalty has thus an aditional man ner in which it may serve the party.
 If many will give moderately, the total will be sufficient.
 But in this community many are not giv- ing even moderately.

EQltOr,

 119 West Fortieth Street,
 New York City.
 Dear Sir:
 When announcement was made by you that Rupert Hughes would have an arti- cle in your October number on Why Quit Going to Church.. your host of readers surely expected something unique and original from so bright lumlnary in the literary world.
 But on the contrary he descended to the level of the gutter, in a tirade of billingsgate and vituperation for all, that countless millions notwithstanding Ru- pert Hughes to the contrary) hold sacred and dear.
 His evident aim was to appear face tious and blasphemous in the former he failed so lamentably as to be guilty Of Quasi-plagiarism of the hackneyed ex- pressons of infidels of all ages but in blasphemy he reached revolting depths, that are shocking to all decency, and really unworthy reproduction in maga- zine of your standing.
 Every man has a right to his own opinion upon all questions of religion, but when he grossly misrepresents the accomplishments and beneficiences, that have come to the human race from the Jewish and Christian religions, by i'm paling them upon the Cross of ScOrn, because some misguided professors of these faiths have failed to live up to the tenets of their founders, and resorts to vile blasphemy to vent his spleen, he for feits the respect of intelligent and fair minded persons everywhere.
 Your privilege and responsibility in holding the opinions of the immature youth of our beloved country should have caused you to refuse to be the purveyor of such nauseous filth through your sol umns, much less pay stipend for so doing.
 Neither Rupert Hughes nor yourself would care to live in this country, if all the Jewish temples and Christian churches were suddenly removed. and all their members became apostates to the faith once delivered to the Saints"
 What we have in America today in the way of education had its inception in the churches; and the sick, blind, mained and halt, would be in hopeless fix, if the philanthropic and benevolent institutions founded and maintained by Christianity and Judaism had never been built.
 As student of history and a self admitted literateur, Rupert Hughes is familiar with what happened to France in the days of the commune; and the sit uation in Russia is of too recent memory to make any truly loyal American cOvet such an experience for this nation.

Forum Of The People
Atheism Of Rupert Hughes"

10 the EultOr OI 1ne ASe-A1crdlu'
 Of course you are not responsible for the views expressed in the syndicated articles you publish, but the name of Pierre van Paassen is printed in such microscopic type, that the average reader considers your Worlds Win dow'' column as an editorial expression of your own views. Many others and myself among your thousands of Christian subscrib- CTS were given a distinct shock of amaze ment this morning, when you broadcasted the article commenting on the "Atheism of Ru- pert Hughes" | Mr. Van Paassen in his comments on the article of Rupert Hughes, in a recent issue of the Cosmopolitan Magazine" "outherods Herod" in his misrepresentations and calum- nies against the Christian Church, in Ian guage that is most offensive. I am sure The Age Herald will disclaim even the appear ance by inference of indorsing such charges against so large part of our population, which has labored so strenuously, and con- tributed so unselfishly for every cause looking to the moral uplift, and peace and happiness of our community.
 I enclose you a copy of letter wrote to the editors of the Cosmopolitan concerning the Rupert Hughes article, and ask in fair ness that you reproduce same in your valued columns.
 received q courteous reply from them thanking me for the frank tone of my letter and stating it was their desire at all times to receive and be guided by the counsel and advice of their readers.

AMERICANS PAY
| HIGH FOR TRAVEL
Passports Costs in Europe
, Cut for Others, But Not
| for u. S. Visitors.
Correspondence of The Associated Press.

Correspondence of The Associated Press.
LONDON, November 29.-The ex-
penses and eXasperatione of post
travel with passports are gradually
being reduced for everybody except
Americans.
Beginning December 1 British sub
jects, for only seven shillings six
pence, can obtain passports valid for
five years from the date of issue No
visas at all will be required for visit
ing most of the continental countries
to which the English go in large
numbers. The Briton simply puts his
$l.75 passport in his pocket and crosses
the channel. For an extra five shil-
lings he can have his passport eX-
tended to 10 years.
His lot is a lucky one compared with
that of the American travelling
abroad. First OF all the American
must pay his own government $40 to
get a passport which expires in IL
months and cannot be extended for a
period longer than two years from
the date of issue. Then for each
country he visits. except Switzerland
and Belgium, he must pay another $40
for a visa.
{, Retaliation Is Apparent.
The American is merely an innocent
hyStander suffering from a little game
of retaliation against his government.
When the United States began charg-
ing so for visas to visit America
foreign nations, instead of turning
the other cheek. gave the Yankee
wallet d wallop by charging Ameri-
cans SO each to cross their frequent
frontiers. AS not infrequentIy hap
pens, Europe comes out ahead in this
little game. Only Il few thousand
Europeans visit America each year
while tens of thousands of Americans
tour Europe and most of them pay
from $50 to $50 each for visas.
The Liberal British press and the
people it represents seems devoutly
TO long for the good old days of no
passports at all, considering them
now that the war is over, "a sinister
reflection on Il peaceful land"
