that the decay of parliamentarism is
an often-observed phenomenon" it
admits the truth of the statement that
government is primarily charged with
maintaining order, protecting indus
try and private business. When par
liamentarism goes and business rules
absolutely (our pacifistic intellectu-
ais still refuse to see the former as
the everyday guise of business rule),
then the result is-Germany today:
hours increased, wages lowered,
starvation, and terrible misery, with
proletarian revolution and proletarian
dictatorship as the only escape. The
editors of the Nation" go so far as
to see in France a dictatorship Of
bankers and large corporations; in
Austria, Hungary and Germany, the
absolute rule of international bankers,
at present are impending. Our oil
mess reveals even to the unwilling
the American dictatorship. And yet
Kautsky, Hillquit, ct. al, talk of de-
mocracy? AS Lecky with his twisted
bourgeois theology calls prostitution
the protection of the family, so these
Socialists" prostitute the working
class to parliamentary democracy,
and then call this method of CAPT.
talist dictatorship protection. Our
liberals at least will admit fact
which stares them in the face, even
tho they don't understand its impli-
cations, even tho they look to Mac
Donald's imperialistic "pacifsm" as a
salvation. When the tribe of Kautsky
admits, if they ever will, the futility
of democracy, then will Marxism and
Leninism be completely triumphant
in words as they are in fact.

BALES PRAISES
 WALTER JOHNSON
Star Hurler Is Compared
 With Jimmy O'Connell

With Picking A Team"-as his sub feet George Lewis Bailes, teacher of the Cosmopolitan Bible class at the Strand theater Sunday read a new meaning into the Bible passage that tells of the selection of twelve men by the Man of GaliIee. He modernized the lesson, and brought the application down to the present world series.
 He held up Walter Johnson and Jimmy O'Connell as typifying two char acters, that run like thread of gold and thread of black through the whole fabric of human destiny.
 ".Tbe one Ieads,' Bailes said, "to the sunlight heights far above the mire and mud of questionable tricks of trade
 Walter Johnson at 37 is one of the best known and best liked men in America. He is not a great orator or writer. He is not a great politician nor any other kind of politician, for that matter. He is not a man of great learning. In fact he grew up with few advantages. He went to school only little. He has always been just great big, tall and lean average American. t
 What then entities him to be held up as a man for other average Amer jeans to emulate? Just this: He has played the game according to the rules; he has played it clean; he has played it absolutely on the square.
 '"The result is that today as we sit here studying men, we realize that Walter Johnson is the center of in- terest of more Americans, all the way up from the kids in the primary depart ment of this Sunday school, to supreme court judges, cabinet members and the rest of officialdom at, Washington than even presidential candidates. h
 ''The New York Giants last spring picked team for 1924. Don't blame the officials who picked Jimmy O'Con- nell and Cozy Dolan. Even the Master picked Peter and Thomas and Judas upon the most important team ever or. ganized. Don't even be too hard on O'conneli and Dolan, for they are aI- ready miserable enough.
 Look for the trouble, or rather for the cause of the trouble. What is it? Just. the lack of nerve to lplay the game right, to play it straight; that s all. Walter has them.

SCIENCE PLAYS
 MEAN TRICKS ON RUM ROW
Bullet-Pr0of Scotch Vend- or Proves Easy Prey
 For Coast Guard
(Leased Wire to Age-Herald)


 ss NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Scienee is playing mean tricks upon the tradesmen of rum rowl Just when they have studied up on gas engines, armor plate, airplanes and the pumerous other con- veniences of the present century and have discovered how to employ them to the embarrassment of the federal pro- hibition officers, the officers come along and show them that by the latest revised rules of rum running those methods are barred.
 Science has indeed handed rum row a set of laughs recently. An ambitious young smuggler spent many nights studying up on how to make boat that was proof against the bullets of the coast guards machine guns. The real ization of this research, the Wee, could shed lead and steel jackets even as an umbrella sheds rain. Surely, thought the vender of scotch, science has been good to us.
 One Point Overlooked
 Then the coast guard heard of the "yee" and decided that, although the scientific rum runner had learned a lot about steel and it's bullet-shedding qual- ities, there was matter of weight and speed which he had utterly ignored. In its first encounter the Wee" proved its inferiority, for although it was bull let proof, the armor plate that made it so also increased it's weight and de- creased it's speed and the federal cutter had no trouble in overhauling it.
 But that's not the worst of it. q Even the 12-mile limit has become obsolete and the clumsy tubs which used to hide behind the imaginary line 12 miles from the dry shores of Amer ica. will have to move further out to sea if they wish to continue to unload into the speed boats that ply back and forth between the ships and the shore.
 The new ruling which has just about nut the Emile limit into class with free lunches, came about when sse Pic torian, ship of British registry and supposedly safe outside the governments dozen miles, was captured when de- iiyering liquor to a smaller craft.
 The federal authorities then and there inserted a new rule into the gentle game of smuggling They pointed out that while the larger vessel may be well outside of an hours run from shore, the smaller and much speadier craft could do it in less and that the legal hours run will be measured, from now on, by the smaller craft. The Pie torian could waddle along at about l2- mile an hour while the speed craft was capable of doing 2S knots an hour.
 With this announcement died the hopes of converting airplanes to the lucrative business of supplying New York's cheer. Using the new ruling basis, with airplanes operating from ship to shore, the safety zone for rum boats would be anywhere from 70 to 15O miles out.
 So far the prohibition officers have given their own answer to the ques- fion, "by whose boat is the hours rum measured?" They seized the Bri- fish trawler Frederick B. after the hours run had been established by a ' revenue cutter.
