At the Municipal Court Room last
Saturday forenoon the toWnspcople
were privileged to witness the page
ant directed by Miss Ruby Lathe OF
the Garfield school, which she and
members of her classes had given the
Monday evening previous at Sorosis.
It was entitled THE Knights and La
dies of the Great Adventure and the
little people as well as their director
are deserving of much credit for
really delightful production. The
pageant was repeated as benefit for
the playground equipment at the
Garfield building and about SIS was
realized.
At the result OF rather starnge ac-
tons Roland Roderick of Wateryille
was taken into custody at the Hamli-
ton restaurant on Water street by
night officer David Withee. Friday
Letters in the mans pockets revealed
his name and the officer notified Depn-
ty Marshall George Simpson OF Water
vile. An officer came Saturday morn
ing and took the man down river. 1t
appears that Roderick was out on
parole from the State Insane Hospital
and was to have been taken back there
Friday. He eluded his attendants
and driftcd to SkowhcSan where DIS
peculiar appearance resulted III HIS
being taken into custody.

His illusions are quite mys- tifying and sensational and he prom ises number of them that will make the natives of this city sit up and take notice. One of the most mystifying tricks he will do while at the Capitol is shooting a long spike or nail through the body of one of his female assistants onto which is fast ened long ribbon.
 Other acts on the bill include Billie Bowman in Chatter and Changes" Stutz and Bingham in an original comedy oddity; Little Ely, the jug gling marvel, who is a mere slip of a girl, but yet performs juggling stunts with the ease and grace and much better than her brother artists.

 That's your business, not mine" she retorted sharply. You and Mrs. Underwood put your heads together and get Richard or Edwin on that telephone if you have to get the chief of police on the job. And when you get them. if l cant talk to them, tell them to have an air-tight will drawn up. bequeathing Williams money to the children. and the guar dianship of the children to-to-one of us"

 BRIGHT'S DISEASE

Many people imagine they have Bright's disease if any trouble de- velops in the back or region of the kidneys. The fear is often grovndless. In fact more people have probably developed the T3rights diseases habit, through reading patent medicine ad. vcrtiscments which try 10 make you believe there is something wrong, than in any other way.
 The only sure way to convince your. self and he sure you are on the right track is to have a health examination, at least once year, by a real nhysi- clan.
 Rrights disease. sometimes termed nephritis, may have it's grip on you, and yet for years you may go along wondering what Is the trouble.
 If you have severe attacks Of what is generally termed nervousness. dur ing which you may have "dfzzy spells" or sick headaches, have an oNamina. tion at once. Don't blunder along try ing to diagnose your condition.
 Preventing Brlghts disease is com. parativcly easy Tine records Of many states show q decrease during the past six years. Drinking alcoholic liquors and improper foods may be said to cause S5 per cent Of this trouble. over-oating Of protcins in meats should be avoided. A vegetable diet is always d great check in warding off Bright's disease.
 Some time ago wrote Of the help a fasting program would bring about. 1T you have any doubts about your kidney condition, try the rest or fast ing program. 1t relieves the work Of the kidneys and sets up q renewal of workable reserve strength.
 Prevention Of this trouble is greatly aided by being a good water thinker IT the kidneys are kept active and not overloaded with waste. your chance Of escaping this disease is good.

"The Golden Mean"

The Milwaukee Leader mouthpiece of decadent
socialism and noisy progressivism, la LaFOlette,
is again in quest for the holy golden mean"
Mr. Victor Berger takes the DAILY WORKER
to task for its series of articles on the politics and
economics of the LaFollette movement. He protests
that the one hand an extreme right journal
says "LaFoletteism is Socialism" and that on the
other hand the DAILY WORKER, the expression
of the extreme left, says that LaFollette and
Wheeler are capitalist candidates. Then the lone
socialist congressman brings solace unto himself
by declaring that ''the golden is in the right
place. The truth lies between the two extremes"
This explanation is typical of the mechanical
fossilized formulas to which the Bergers, Hill
quits and O'Neals, have subjected the socialist
movement in America The fact of the matter is
that there is grain of truth in the criticism of
LaFollette by the New York Commercial, the ex-
IRENE right newspaper If the New York Com
mercial would say that the socialism of Victor
Berger and his supporters is LaFoletteism then it
would be correct. With this agent of big business
the truth stands on it's head
All the DAILY WORKER is doing in its La
Toilette series is to put this truth right its feet
We are showing that the socialism of what was
one the socialist party, is today unadulterated
LaFoletteism. We are likewise showing that
Messrs LaFollette and Wheeler are committed to
continuation of the present system of the private
ownership of the means of production and ex-
change, of the present economic system of wage
slavery thru the private ownership of capital Al
the very moment that Mr.. Berger fired his broad
side on behalf of the golden mean," the most
trusted leutenants of LaFollette in the Milwaukee
Leaders own state of Wisconsin were protesting
vehemently at those questioning their being
'fercely indiyidualistic" In Wisconsin the LaFol
ette boosters insist that the progressive program
was devised to protect the rights of the individual"
We do not take particular delight in getting
under the skin of those who buried the socialist
party corpse at Cleveland on July fourth. Yet, we
cannot help feeling that Berger and his aides are
especially grieved because, in making our case
we have used their own findings and testimony
as they themselves have repeatedly presented it

Another Fake Peace

Is the war finally over? Bourgeois pubcists,
from the reactionary Chicago Tribune to the So
cialists see in the adoption of the Dawes Plan the
establishment of 'peace" Now at last the peoples
of the world to live in harmony and Industrious
labor, MARBLE the pacifsts and jingOes in unison.
1t is another fake The leopard cannot change
his spots and capitalism cannot avoid war; The
so-called peace was but continuation of the po-
litics of war-just the on-cOming will be the
logical outcome and continuation of the policy of
the Dawes peace Peace and the inter
changable aspects of capitalist imperialism and
exploitation.
Capitalist war merges into capitalist peace and
back again, just naturally as the Dawes report
is the "offcial policy of the United States" one
day, entirely unofficial and informal on the next,
and then again the official policy. The capitalist
papers change the tune from day to day, but the
keynote is always the same-Morgan rules. War
peace, peace-war is formula that Morgan can
handle with equal facility.
There will be no peace on earth until capitalism
is abolished. Until that day there will be war
war between the nations instigated at the will
and for the profit of capitalists, which must finally
be turned into the civil between the exploiters
and the exploited. All "peace" that is proclaimed
until that time is false.
