The New Age.

When nayies are forgotten
And fleets are useless things,
When the dove shall warm her bosom
Beneath the eagles wings;
When memory of battles
At last is strange and old,
When nations have one banner
And creeds have found one fold;
When the Hand that sprinkles mid
night
With its powdered drift of suns,
Has hushed this tiny tumult
OF sects and swords and guns;
Then Hates last note of discord
In all Gods world shall cease
In the conquest which Is service.
In the victory which is peace!

This little thing did not bother Far
rington's conscience in the least. It
was a part Of his business and his
business as head Of the miners union
is to make money.
The coal diggers of Illinois who pay
Farrington's salary consider them
selves fortunate if they have enough
space around their shacks to grow a
few vegetables on. 1t is safe to say
that none of them have orange groves
in Alabama. Some progress since
the days Frank Harrington worked at
the mine in Streator!

A document issued from Indianapo-
lis, tells the story of Farrington's
holdings in Alabama. It reads as fol-

Frank Harrington, president Of the
Illinois Mine Workers, is the owner of
the following described land purchas-

helped Harrington out of his dilemma,
Proof that money was used to Sc
cure the exoneration Of Harrington
at the special convention, is in the
testimony Of one Peter Smith of Pan
anna. The following is part of that
testimony:

honesty had been questioned and that
Harrington was to be tried in a spe-

trade union movement of this country
is long record of service rendered
to the working class.
Dunno is running on the Communist
ticket. He is the candidate Of the
Workers Party and as such is out
side the pale of Harrington and the
other labor takers. The Workers
Party is the party of the workers
and exploited farmers. 1t is not pur-
chasing votes or endorsements and
furthermore, it is terrible chal-
lenge to the system on which sewer
rats who are in the business Of selling
the workers, thrive on.
viii Repudlate CRATER.
Harrington sells his influence to
Small in 1924 as he sold it to Smith
in 1915. But the rank and file of the
Illinois miners are not going to fol-
low Small into the thieves den of
capitalist politics. They will repudiate
Harrington and his alliance with the
open shop brigade as they did his deal
with Smith in 1915.
Another violation Of the constitu-
ton that Harrington was guilty of was
his giving to Frank L. Smith. the dem
ocratic candidate for governor, COM

LONDON, Oct. II. - The political
pot is not yet boiling furiously in
England despite the fact that the
elections are only fifteen days off.
The liberals will open their cam
paign this afternoon in Queens Hall,
with former premiers Asquith and
Lloyd George and Sir John Simon, all

Stanley Baldwin, tory leader, will
open his campaign in the same hall
tomorrow.
Ulster Is Active.
If interest lags somewhat in Eng
land there is no lack of excitement in
northern ireland where DeValera
candidates are contesting for thirteen
seats. This is the so-called Orange
stronghold, and strange to say the
birth place Of Irish republicanism. In
the great industrial city of Belfast,
however, the message of James Con-
molly, the outstanding social-revolu-
zionist that the working class of Ire
nave " lub WOIlu
revolutionary movement, would make
a stronger appeal to the exploited
masses than the shallow vaporings Of
the bourgeois nationalist DeValera.
Auto Handicap.
Ramsay Macdonald is finding his
endowed automobile" anything but
an asset to him in this campaign.
While his health may be conserved
thru it's use rather than the use Of the
subways, the workers are leary about
accepting the excuses of the social
democrats and pink radicals, that
because it is common thing in Eng
land to. accept the benevolef1ce of a
wealthy angel Ramsay's conduct
should not be used against him by
the Communists.

harrington was charged at the spe-
cial convention with entering into
land deals in Alabama with coal op-
orators. The miners could not under
stand how Harrington, out of his sal
airy as president Of the union could
purchase a handsome home and
orange groves in Alabama. A sum in
excess of $4,000 is a tidy bit of mon
ey to lay out on land, for a poor man
like harrington.

WANTS INVESTIGATION
 AFTER NOV. ELECTIONS
Master of National Grange Urges Coolidge To Withhold Agri-
 cultural Probe.

Washington, Oct. 10.- A request that the proposed investigation of agricultural conditions be withheld until after election was made to President Coolidge today by Louis J. Taber of Columbus, O., master of the national grange.
 Mr. Taber said he feared that If the president appointed an investi- gating commission ct this time its work would become involved in par tisan politics. Similar arguments have been placed before Mir. Cool idge by some other farm leaders, and he recently indicated that he did not consider haste necessary.
 "The commission appointed now" Mr. Taber said, would be bound to get mixed up in partisan politics and this would be disastrous 10 the farming situation. The farmers have definitely turned the road and l think a proper commission work ing along economic lines can do much to carry out the program of the president to prevent a recur- renee of the past distress"
 Mr. Tabcr said he did not discuss politics with the president with whom he also had luncheon at the White House.
