Editor DAILY WORKER:
Dear Comrade:
| have read the apology appearing
in this Saturdays issue of the DAILY
WORKER, and want to say how
proud am to belong to a movement
which has the courage and the con-
fidence to correct its mistakes, and
to make the fullest amends so freely
and frankly. 1t shows the difference
in our spirit. have just shown it to
a non-Communist friend who is very
much prejudiced against us, and it
has had a most favorable effect on
him. I'm showing it around to others.
1t is practical demonstration of our
honesty and our candor, and will
vastly increase our prestige among
thinking people.
Let us take the opportunity of sug-
costing to our readers that on the oc-
casions when we ride in taxis we may
just as well make point of support

faith in You because feel that you
are sincere.
Years ago trusted the Abe Cahans
and the Abramoviches, but today
these poor weaklings have turned
against the workers. Today they sud.
denly discovered that Karl Marx and
class consciousness are bunk" Today
they are fighting for wealth, for
agrandizement, like the rest of the
present day politicians. Today they
kiss the hands Of kings and wear
knee breeches at regal receptions. To
day they are hob-nobbing in best so.

Of profits that run only into the mil

Lets Take Up a Collection.
Here comes the Columbia Gas and
Electric company in New York, with
a net profit of only S6.7O7,273 during
the year.
Gross revenues Of the company and
its subsidiaries for the twelve months
amounted to $26, ,5S1, against ST.
OO2, 999 a. year ago, and net operating
earnings, after. depreciation, were $11,
SS2,529, against $9,464,3S0 in the
twelve months Of 1923. For the month
of December the gross totaled $4,000,
1856, and net available for dividends
$962,290. The latter compares with
$7S5,7S5 year ago.
Then crawls the Brooklyn-Manhat
tan Transit company out of its poor
shack to tell us that it got in clear
profit only s2,59S,517.
The continued growth OF gross
monthly revenue and in surplus after
charges which characterized the first
twelve months following reorgani=a
ton has continued, the report shows,
in the current fiscal year. and the six
months gross of $21,44S,951 compares
with s19,576,S9 for the corresponding
period Of the preceding yead. Net
after charges amounted TO $2,59S,517,
against s1,SS6.712 year ago. At the

The annual report of the CONNER

To the DAILY WORKER How
doth Communism grow! Especially
with the DAILY WORKER in the
house. l have supplied a neighbor of
mine for nearly year with my copy
"a very bright and conscientious
young man, but who is crippled ply
sically from disease. He soon de-
veloped an appetite for Karl Marx,
and not long ago read for the first
time copy of the Communist Mani
festo.
1t is now of textbook importance
to him. He said recently to me 81
do not see how it is possible for the
people to remain long in darkness
with such a work in circulation. 1t is
beacon for the hand and guide
for the feet"
II told him the socialist party had
been boosting it for years and he
was still further mystifed. He said
they could not have read it under-
standingly.
Soon afterward he read Marks
Revolution of 1S4S" and Civil War
in France" which were like amen
tai bath, and followed with great de-
light, Vols. and II of Capital" Be-
ginning when / first met him with
religious complex, he now revels in
the full and glorious light Of Com
munism and is super-grateful to me
for having introduced it to him.
The comrades here do not know of
him because he walks slowly and
painfully. They may soon learn be-
cause he is improving.
The glow of the new light has ami
mated his spirit. A renewed desire
to live induced him to go to the
hospital and the treatments he is
receiving, are gradually restoring
elasticity to his partially ossifed
joints, and he wants to join the grow
ing army Of Communist workers. In
his ward he met bright young Ital-
ian OF revolutionary tendencies and
now he wants to give him a copy of
the DAILY WORKER containing a
good article ON Sacco and Vanzetti
vitAaatheoebject gofe inducing him to
join the Italian branch Of the Work
ers Party here.
OF course, he is not yet a member
OF the party. He will further use
copies of the DAILY WORKER to
give to radical but uniformed ply
sician and other individuals who
would be benefited by a knowledge
Of our great movement and who, in
turn, would benefit others. Verify.
how doth Communism grow!

DEATH COMES TO
FAMOUS FIGURE IN
NATIONAL LIFE

Dayton, Tenn, July 27.-William
Jennings Bryan, who many years ago
as "the boy orator of the Platte with
his ''cross of gold" speech, won Dem
ocratic presidential nomination and a
lasting place before the American pub
lie, is dead.
The end came yesterday afternoon
while the "Commoner" was sleeping in
the house of Richard Rogers, which
had been assigned him during his stay
here, when he came for the Scopes
trial. DR.. w. f. Thomason and DR..
A. c. Broyles, who examined the body,
stated death was caused by a hemor-
hage of the brain, resulting in apo
plexy. He was 65 years old, having
been born March 10, 1860.
James Mccartney, family chauffeur,
was sent by Mrs. Bryan at 4:30 p. M,
to wake her husband Mccartney
shook MIR. Bryan twice in an attempt
to arouse him and then noticed he was
not breathing. Rushing to the home
of A. B. Andrews, neighbor, the
chauffeur called for physicians, who
reached the home within few
minutes. After an examination the
doctors said Mr.. Bryan probably had
been dead 80 or 40 minutes, before
they arrived.
Appeared in Good Health
The "Commoner" had been living
under a strenuous program since he
came here three weeks ago to assist
in the prosecution of John T. Scopes,
found guilty of violating Tennessee's
anti-evolution law. He appeared in
excellent health, however, and was
planning to launch a great campaign
this week in behalf of fundamentalism.
Mrs. Bryan, who has been an invalid
a number of years, bravely stood the
shock Of her husbands unexpected
death. She Immediately took charge
of funeral arrangements and received
a few of the hundreds of persons who
called at the residence to- express sym
pathy.

In the mountains there would not have
been any question but what you would
have had a road right there a long
time ago.
"You can have that road IL you
really want it and are determined to
get it. There will be sceptics in
eastern Montana who will say that the
road is only dream, but the difference
between sceptics and people who get
things is determination upon the
part of the man to achieve the thing
he sets out TO do ...............
%n my travels have visited Flori-
da and | want to tell you that the
reason Florida is what ii is today is
because Florida boosted and adver-
tised what it had And what have
they down there? Only the ocean, the
beach and sunny climate--they have
nothing but mud and water and mo-
squitoes so much bigger than the
mosquitoes you have here that they
would make these look like gnats. The
people of Florida simply sold their
ocean and beaches and whatever else
they have to the people Of the rest Of
tn country.
"If you people Of Red Lodge will adj
vertise what you have here there will
be people coming from New York,
Pennsylvania, Chicago and the New
England States to see what you have

been interested in cows and coal be-
cause Of the fact that they have brot
money to you and your town, but let
me tell you If you will advertise the
scenery that you have here 1t will
bring you more money and more peo-
pie than you ever dreamed there was
in the world. In my travels through
out the United States and through
Europe ! have never seen more beau
tiful country than you have right here

it for this section of the state.
Il have never been over such poor
trails as went over in this section
Of the state, and | am almost ashamed
Of the Forestry service to think they

people here are to blame, because
