A Popular Mayor.

E. J. Roethe was reelected mayor
of Fennimore by majority of 13
votes over c.. j. Niehaus, his closest
opponent Mr.. Walter, the other can
didate, was third. 1t is said that the
Walter vote pulled from Mr.. Roethe
and had he not been running the ed1-
tor would have had much larger ma
jority Mr.. Roethe, "they say" is the
best mayor Fennimore ever had. In
this case they say" speaks well of a
man instead of slandering him. Dur
ing his incumbency Fennimore has
put in a lot of first-class paving and
is well ahead of Lancaster in that re-
spect Most OF the criticism against
Ed comes from those who say he is
too much inclined to improve the city,
meaning his policy makes taxes high.
The Fennimore tax rate is slightly
below that of Lancaster.

"LOOk-LiSten-Liye."

Some slogan-isn't it? The North
western road uses this with telling eff
feet as a caption for poster on Safety
First The poster shows huge loco
motive crashing into fimsy little Sc
dan. The occupants of the vehicle are
doomed. In their last moments they
are making frantic attempts to escape
disaster Their effort is plainly futile.
On the road behind and in safety
stands another car. The driver of this
vehicle has his hand outstretched as
a warning to other people coming up.
He symbolizes the slogan: Look
Listen--Live!"
Grant county abounds in grade rail
road crossings. There have occurred
numerous collisions. One or two nave
been with fatal effect. Others FORUM
ately had no tragic outcome.
1t pays every car driver to remem-
Der this slogan:

Test Shows Tobacco
Smoke Not Harmful
From Popular Mechanics.

To test the effect of tobacco fumes,
three men were confined in closed
chamber where the air was so smoky
that it was impossible to see across
the room. The atmosphere was so ir-
ritating to the eyes that it was neces-
sary to wear goggles. After an hour
and half, samples of the air and the
blood of the smokers were taken for
analysis. The experiment was made
by the bureau of mines and, as re-
suit, it was decided that the harm
from smoking indoors, or in mines, is

The Other Side.

While Lancaster people are sore
and Inundated over certain phases OF
the recent election they may take
note that things here are by no means
bad as compared to some places. Re
CARELESS of factions here the vote IS
kept sacred.
In Cicero, Ill, a Chicago suburb,
armed gunner chased voters away
from the polls and took their ballots
away from them. They then stuffed
the ballot boxes. Voters who asserted
their independence were slugged or
shot. One man was killed.
This happened in America in April,
1924. No April Fools joke either. The
gunner were composed mostly OF
alien and non-voting foreigners.
A big mistake has been made in not
being more discriminating in award
ing the franchise to foreigners. Some
foreigners here a year are fully quail
flied to vote Others never become
qualified. AS a rule a five-year resi-
dence is not enough to qualify man
for citizenship and its obligations.

Love of a Dog.

Love of a Dog.
A writer IN the Manchester eng
land) Guardian, says:
What is it that gives the dog It's
unique appeal? 1t is fundamentally
the whole-heartedness of its devotion
to its master, of whom it makes a lit
tie god. 1t has wonderful depth OF
LOYALTY which is irresistible. 1t APP
peals with affection for affection. II
is keenly sensitive to praise and
blame: it feels the difference in look
or in a tone. 1t is good judge OF
character, but it will forgive every
thing for love- In its obedience and re-
liability it often makes us ashamed.
No doubt there is pleasant hattery
in the way the dog looks up to us and
trusts us implicitly, but there is much
more than that There is-in dogs
whose brains have not been preo
away-an intelligent responsiveness
which is unparalleled. And we are IN
clined to think that the dog comes
nearer being moral agent than any
other animal-which is another BOND
of sympathy.

JAVA WORKERS,
PEASANTS WITH
COMM u MIST
Proletarian Leaders Win
Strong Support
lspeoIaI q DC paIIy workerl

ROTTERDAM, Holland, April a.
(By mail.)-An unusual tribute to
Communist organization ability is
paid in recent issue Of the capital
list daily, "Nieuwe Rotterdamsche
Courant." Writing from Java, the spe-
cial correspondent of that paper
speaks as follows Of the Communist
movement in the Dutch East Indies:
Communists Lead Java's Workers.
1.-THE real peoples movement in
Java is to be found since the begin
ming Of last year more and more in
the Communist party of Indonesia Up.
X. ~. More than any other group,
the P. X. l. his secured the real in
terest and support of thousands of
the people, where other groups have
failed. Many causes can be given,
among others, those Of a personal
character. Sarakat Islam (national-
ist) lost the greatest part of its fol-
lowing to the P. K. L.; Buddhi Utome
continues to be class union, and the
new Javanese union is still further
removed from the real masses. But
the p K. l. is mostly composed of
workers. There are thousands Of
workers on the railways, the work
ers of the machine factories, the peo-
pie who are connected with the pro-
cess OF industrialisation, who are led
mostly by non-intellectuals and very
rarely by leaders of high social stand
ing, into movement which, owing
to the simple and uninvolved char
acter Of its slogans, can be easily un-
derstood by the uneducated masses.
Peasants Join Workers.
"In the Preanger province, more
and more frequent meetings are held
in small villages, and the peasant,
whose burden has become heavier by
the imposing of new forms OF taxa
ton, who sees the opportunities for
work decreasing, who is suffering also
from recent bad seasons, comes to
these meetings and listens attentive
ly to speakers from the town. So in
a remote village in the heart of the
province, hundreds of peasants could
be seen at meeting where above the
tribune tioated the emblem of the
Hammer and the Sickle. This meet
ing was only one of many.
Tho openly anti-Dutch and de-
handing absolute independence as its
aim, nevertheless, the P. X. I. puts
forward demands which are directed
towards immediate improvements,
and the Communist character of its
doctrine is put far enough into the
background to win the sympathy of
the crowd"

fit to answer the acceptance of his
challenge to debate that was sent
him by Fred Merrick, delegate to

vention, which has just ended here.
Merrick is also a member of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Western
Pennsylvania Council for the Protec-
ton Of the Foreign Born, and wished
particularly to debate the immigra-
ton question with Davis.
Davis defended the administration
immigration policy and offered to de-
bate any one on President Coolidge's
friendship to labor Merrick took up
the defy and suggested debating here
while the state labor convention was
in session, or any other meeting to
which the secretary of labor would
agree.

TRACHTENBERG
is POLITICAL
MAGNET-CARNEY
Warning Radicals Unite
To Hear Him
BY JACK CARNEY.

SAN FRANCISCO.-No lecturer
within recent times has created such
a widespread interest in Soviet Rus
STA and Germany as Alexander Trach-
tenberg, in his recent visit to this
district. His lectures were attended
by every section of the radical move
ment. Socialists, Anarchists, Wob-
blies and Communists packed his
meeting, bombarding him with ques-
lions and displaying an interest rare
ly witnessed in this land of orange
groves and criminal syndicalist laws.
His mastery analysis of the situa-
ton in Germany, together with his
graphic description of the situation in
Russia, left deep impression on his
auditors. At his last lecture he was
over one hour answering questions.
His answer to the question, why do
the Russian workers submit to the
dictatorship of the Communist par
tyr" created a wonderful sentiment.
He pointed out the transitory nature
of the dictatorship. He showed how
the Russians had died for the revolu-
ton and those who remained did not
view the dictatorship in the light Of
an autocratic institution, rather
means with which to achieve their ul-
innate freedom.
The Rotary club of Palo Alto called
a special meeting and invited Trach-
tenberg to address them on the pos
sibilities Of trade with Soviet Russia.
Due to the lack of time, Trachtenberg
was unable to accept their invitation.
Trachtenberg visited San Quentin
and delivered greetings from the Mos
COW Soviet to Tom Mooney. He also
spoke with Matt Schmidt. ut is graf
flying to note how these men are so
familiar with what is going on out
SIDE" said Trachtenberg. "They
showed an intimate knowledge with
what was going on and were highly
pleased with the contact established
by the Workers party with the labor
movement"
Local comrades are highly en-
Unused with the work Of Comrade
Trachtenberg and feel that many
such speakers should be routed along
the Pacific coast, so that the COM
rades will not feel that they are liv-
ing in a world of their own.
The local press was sympathetic.
Frequent requests for interviews with
Trachtenberg were made.
