national bankers, it would not do for
such a prominent tool of high finance
as Hughes to ruffle the social-demo-
cratic, temper by paying visit to the
murderer of one of their gang. That
and other reasons should be taken
into consideration.
MAYHEM the story broke that the
wv Anglo-Russian conference had
definitely fizzled, the capitalist edi-
tors took out their speediest typewrit-
ers and fastened to tell the world
that it was impossible to reach an
agreement with Soviet Russia and
if Britain, the classic land of diplo-
macy could not deal with the Bolshe-
Wiki, how could the United States, a
diplomatic virgin, be expected to
have any official dealings with them.
The break up Of the London confer
ence, they said, justified the policy
of our secretary of state and his wor-
thy ally, Samuel Gompers. But alas,
nothing stays put these days. No
sooner had these editorials hit the
street than the wires carried another
story, to the effect that Britain and
Soviet Russia thru their respective
official representative signed treat
les, subject to ratification in London
and Moscow. This is bad news for
Abe Cahan, Sam Gompers and Charles
Evans Hughes. The capitalist edi-
tors of course, will find a way out of
the dilemma
IF a revolution breaks out in the
| Balkans, it will not be due to the
desperate conditions forced upon the
masses by the bandit governments in
stalled by the allies there after the
war for democracy ended, but owing
to the activities of Communist agents
under the orders of Moscow"
This much we gather from story
with Sofia date line, sent by jour
nalist with the Hibernian name of
Collins. 1t is not difficult to imagine
how Mr.. Collins gets the dope. The
publicity agent of the Bulgarian Fas-
cist government fills him up with
fake news and probably with some
thing else that helps stimulate his
imagination and we have a perfectly
good yarn. The only trouble with the
yarn is that there is not a word of
truth in it. But who expects truth
from the capitalist press? AS far as
we are concerned, if the stories are
snappy samples of prevarication, and
not vulgar and witless lies, we are
satisfied. Watch out for that Bull
garian revolution!
THERE are two very interesting
trials on now, in the State Of Illi-
nois. One is receiving much pub
licity, the other is barely noticed.
One has a sex and emotional inter-

/ before Master in. Chancery Briggle,
at Springfield, to find out whether or
not the governor got away with a
large sum of money belonging to Illi-
nois while he was state treasurer. It
does not seem to be easy to estab-
fish whether Loeb, the murderer OF
the young Franks boy, was sane,
semi-insane, or plain "bug-house." So
far, several alienists paid by the de-
Tense, have proved to their own salts
faction that emotionally, he was not
up to snuff. Other alienists paid by
the prosecution will prove that he is
sane enough to enjoy his own hang
ing, which is the future Attorney
Grove has mapped out for him. Loeb
does not seem to be making any eff
fort to escape punishment. Perhaps
that is a method to prove that he is
an emotional nut"
GOVERNOR Small is not suspect
~ ed of insanity, but the testimony
in the Loeb-Leopold case is model
of normally compared to what was
dragged out Of Small by Master in
Chancery Briggles. Small is charged
with taking liberties with state funds.
1t appears that he loaned money to
the packers at high rate of inter-
est and pocketed the difference in in
terest between what the state gets
from the banks for it's deposits and
what the packers shelled out. For
instance, if the packers paid per
cent for the money loaned to them
by Small, and the banks only paid
Q per cent on state deposits, Small
put per cent in his pocket, turned
2 per cent into the state treasury
along with the principal. OF course,
Small denies all this, saying that his
political enemies are trying to cruel
fly him on q cross of gold.
The financial jugglery is said to
i have been performed thru the me-
dunn of the Grant Park bank, owned
by Senator Edward Curtis. Small
says he put the states money in Cur
it's bank and returned it with the in
terest. Now, the only part of this
story that can be nailed down is what
relates to Curtis. 1t is agreed by
both sides to the legal dispute that
Curtis existed but there is no record
of the Grant Park bank. Where was
this mysterious bank? This is where
Small has the alienists buffaloed
Without showing any more indica-
tions of emotion than "Dickie" did
when making a speech to his Teddy
Bear, the governor informed the
court that this bank was located in
grain shed, and when pressed for
the location of the shed, cody in
formed them, that it was hit by cy-
clone. Undoubtedly, the governor is
a serious rival to Munchausen. But
he is a capitalist and under the CAPT
talist system, man who gets away
with it," is honored.
The great crime is in getting
caught.

A Vital Struggle

OF national Importance to the clothing workers
is the strike now in progress in Philadelphia con-
Quoted by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
1t is one of the important sectors in the battle
line that stretches into every clothing market in
America. Turnout the United States the en-
ployers have been pressing for reductions in wages
lowering of working conditions, and general
worsening of the status of the clothing workers
All too successful have been these efforts and moth
ing could have stopped the retreat of the workers
except real struggle, a real battle against all
cuts and unfavorabe readjustments."
A beginning made to call the employers to
order in the New York strike Unfortunately the
bosses were allowed to get away with something
in the Chicago market. But the union is realizing
that yielding to the employers demand is suicide
is inviting the bosses to new demands, and the
strike now on in Philadelphia is proof that the
membership, and even those workers as yet unOr-
ganized, ready to follow enthusiastically when
the union gives them militant lead. The retreat
can easily be stopped in every market, if sueh5 a
lead is given, and the workers can begin to ad-
vance again.
Complete support and cooperation for the Phila-
delphia strike must and will be forthcoming from
all elements in the union 1t is a vital struggle
that will affect the welfare of every worker in the
clothing industry 1t must be won. 1t must be
made the basis for organizing the Philadelphia
market for stopping the wage cuts, and for launch
ing a nationwide demand for new forward
march of the mems clothing workers.

FIRST PRECINCT
REGISTER DAY
THIS SATURDAY
District Court Judge Says Jury
Duty Not Affected by Lack
of Registration.

The Arst of the two precinct regis
tration days that are allowed during
the year under the new permanent
registration law will be held Satur-
day OF this week upon the authority
Of Commissioner of Registration
Henry Olson.
It is hoped that the day will be
productive of at least 10000 regis
tratiens, which will make a grand
total Of nearly 10000, with a week
to 60 before registration ceases for
the primary election on March Is.
While the registration total itself
Is gratifying, the fact is that the
women are not registering as they
should. They are backward, it is
said, because they fear jury service.
zone of the judges of the district
court is authority for the statement
that one has just as good a chance
to escape jury service when register
ed as when unregistered. In other
words, it makes no difference wheth-
er q person is registered or not. If
that person is wanted for jury serv-
ice, the summons will be issued.
Want More Votes.
1t is the hope of the city officials
that for the city election IN May they
will be able to have a bigger vote
registered than was registered for the
1920 presidential election. In this
case the figures would have to exceed
$4,000. At the present little more
than half Of that amount is shown on
the books.
Failing in their search for effective
arguments against the reelection Of
Mayor Arthur E. Nelson, his oppo-
nents have ,resorted' to a whisper
ing' campaign-an old-fashioned
way Of spreading malicious and un-
truthful statements that could not
safely be uttered in the open. Even
this will fail, however, as the Nelson
line is holding firm and cannot be
broken by any such subterfuge. in
the opinion Of those who are watch
ing the situation carefully.
Poor Opposition.
The return to the city of Sheriff
John Wagner, e. J. Mcmahon, su-
perintendent of the Ramsey county
poor farm. and of Mike Carr, county
commissioner, after a long absence
from the city, during which time they
attempted to stir up active opposi-
tion to the mayor, was not productive
of much news. Messrs. WAGNER,
McNahon and Carr had poor luck on
the trip to California. and since COM
ing back to st. Paul have been busy
trying to convince the public that
they were on no political mission.
That they are bitterly antagonistic
to Mr.. Nelson, however, Is clearly in
dicated by statements attributed to
them. Mayor Nelson's friends point
out that each one has a personal
grievance against the mayor, and is
asking the voters of st. Paul to pun
ish him because at some time or 9TH
er he did something in the perform
ance of his duty as chief executive Of
the city that they did not like.

Local Evangelist making

This picture is splendid likeness
of the Rev. Jos. w. Harris, SIS w.

noted young man and a successful
pastor-evangelist. AS a pastor his
work wherever he has labored speaks
for itself and is a credit to the race
and denomination. Where Mr.. Harris
has served marked change has been
noticed, old church buildings under
go an immediate change that puts the
church house, materially speaking.
among the leading modern church
buildings of the country. This can be
seen on entering any field where he
has been called to serve as pastor.
A Goth Century Evangelist.
His work is not only constructive,
but he Is a soul winner. He says
that evangelism must. therefore,
have the foremost place in every min
ister's life, regardless of that particu-
lar phase of ministry to which he
feels himself called Of God. When
Paul said, do the work of an Evan
gelist," he was writing to pastor.
The Rev. Mr.. Harris is doing an en-
tire, unique and far-reaching work
of evangelism among the churches
of the North and the Northwest. He
travels during the summer in an at
tractive coupe with his family; load
ed with evangelistic material for his
battle with sin, and standing room is
always at premium for white and
