The squirrel boys helped their
mother prepare the table for the
Thanksgiving feast. At each one 8
place was set out what each was to
have to eat, and there was an es-
pecially large pile for Uncle Wig

That evening, after light supper
Uncle Wiggly looked in the dining

CENSORSHIP

With the increasing vogue of censorship in this
country examples continue to multiply showing that
censors however well meaning may fail strangely in
in accomplishing their professed purpose. Here are
two of the latest:

talking in the public lobby seemed to think that wasn't
quite nice So he cut out the lobby The result
was that the film merely showed the couple entering
the hotel in the evening and leaving in the morning,
leaving the spectator to fill in the gap with his imag
nation.

sample of police censorship. The director of public

THE OLDEST ONE
Former British Convict Ship Sails the
Great Lakes and Appears in
Chicago River HarbOr

What is claimed to be the oldest
ship in existence, reached Chicago on
May 10th and is being exhibited
there. 1t is the former British con-
vict ship "Success". For years it has
toured the world on exhibition. Le-
roy Cook saw it, with thousands of
other spectators, in New Orleans in
1917, when it was white. It's yellow
now and Fred D. Paisley in the Chi
cago Examiner of May 10th says of
this ship:
The wickedest craft that ever sail
passengers, those who didn't go in
sane, or die in the black hold, or
dangle from the yardarm, used to call
it 'Hell Afloat"-has arrived at Chi
cago for visit.
She is the British convict ship
Success" 1876 years old, and she is
docked on the north side of the river,
just below the State street bridge.
With her great masts and spars and
rigging, her square cut stern and
high bluff bow she looks her age.
She will be on exhibition for an in
definite period
She was built in 1890, at Moul-
mein, British India, as a merchant
man. She carried spices, aromatic
teas, worries, jewels and other luXur
les until 1902, when the British gov
ernment chartered her to transport to
Australia the overflow of the home
jails-the offenders who had been
sentenced to from seven years to life.
She is the last of the notorious fell
on fleet, relic Of one of the most
shameful periods in modern civiliza-
ton. Her equipment included every
conceivable form of punishment for
reactionary prisoners. All of them
are still intact.
To begin with, there is the brand
ing iron-for convicts were branded
like cattle, with a red hot iron. Then
there are leg irons, varying in weight
from seven to fifty-six pounds; the
punishment ball, the iron straight
jacket, the flosging frames, the orig
inal cat-o'-nine-tails, the "coffin
prisoners were drowned while taking
it.
Capt. John Price, who commanded
the Success" was called the DEVILS
Skipper. He seemed to derive a pc
culiar delight in devising fiendish
forms of torture. One of these was
the black gag, a wooden bit in a
leather bride. 1t was buckled around
a convict's head and neck He also
invented the spiked collar. The chain
which anchored it to an iron ball was
very short, and the victim was COM
PEELED to maintain a STOPPING posi-
ton.

L Legislation on Annual
Holidays for Workers

Of recent years and especially
since the war, annual holidays with
pay for all classes Of workers have
become increasingly general. The
tendency towards their adoption is
shown chiefly by legislation and col
lectiye agreements. An article on
this subject appearing in the current
number of the International Labor
Review gives a survey Of legislation
on the subject. At the present time
holidays with pay for all classes of
wage earners are compulsory by law
(enacted since the war in each case)
in Austria, Finland, Latvia, Poland,
and Soviet Russia. Holidays, gener-
ally with pay, are also made COM
pulsory for certain classes of work
ers in private employment by legis-
lation in Austria, Czechoslovakia,
Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Italy,
Luxembourg, Spain, and Switzerland.
Some of these laws were passed be-
fore 1918, but most of them since
that date.

about paying TOO much and then
demand all the improvements con

AS they diel together, Cath

- live harmOniously for our
country.
So spoke Congressman Royal {.
Johnson of South Dakota last even
ing at the dedication OF memor-
ial tablet by the Oak Park Elks'
lodge to the war veterans in us
membership.
There was significance in this
because an Elks' lodge is a place
where Catholic, Gentle and Jew
meet on a common plane. Inc
Elks ask them to be Americans,
but they draw no lines between
Americans on the score OF race OF
creed. FL
And there is also great signif1-
canoe in the occasion because
when the country went to war H.
TOO, drew no lines between Amer
leans on the score of race or creed.
Catholics, Gentle and Jews fought
side by side, died side by side, and
were Americans side by side.
A line that the nation does not
draw in war it must not draw III

Any man who raises false. issue
to divide Americans is no friend
Of America, no matter how llgh
his protestations OF "hundred-per-
cent Americanism."
Real hundred per cent Amer
icanism looks through the super
fatalities of race and creed and
sees each man for what he is.
So called Americans who work
to divide Americans en- lines OF
race or creed are far more menac-
ing to America than all the aliens
who plot to overthrow the Amer,
lean system and to rear the red
fabric of Bolshevism in its place.

A REGULAR REPUBLICAN
VOTES IRREGULAR"
The politicians are still disputing
over "what is a Republican o. And
as usual, they use phrases to save
themselves the trouble of thought.
They talk of loyalty to the plat
form" and "principles" Of the party,
when they have not read the plat
form themselves, and no two of them
agree on the principles.
What they really mean, of course,
is that a Republican is one who
votes for the regular nominees and
takes the organizations program.
The insurgents in Congress were
ousted for deserving not the plat
form, but the candidate. The whole
of their offending was in not voting
for President Coolidge.
The very leaders in ostracising
them had been themselves among the
most stubborn INSTRUCTORS of the
party's platform and the presidents
policies. There is no one more ir-
regular than your stoutest regular,
in matters Of principle. He even
repudiates candidates, when the 9TH
err faction wins the primary, as the
REGULAR organization did in Iowa,
with Rrookhart, the regular Repyb-
lican nominee.
A regular Republican is one who
votes for the candidates and takes
the program of the regular organi-
cation. That is all.
