"HOT SHOTS"
(Written for The Mail)
By "BOLSHEVIK" BILL

The radical, Bolshevik program
in this country is not serious
menace; it is merely irritating
like boil somewhere on your
person. No one with common
sense fears for the sofety of our
government. There is too much
prosperity and general contentment
in the United States for that.
Serious trouble and revolution
grows out of oppression and ex-
ploitation. No one in our country
is really either oppressed or ex-
plotted; the some hot-head radicals
sometime tells US we are. If it
were not for our alien population
in our industrial world who came
to America looking for, and find
ing freedom, both of speech and
action, we would never be troubled
with Bolshevism, Communism, Rad
icalism and their allied isms.
We hear so much political bunk
about "the poor farmer" and his
troubles; we are told that he is
on the very brink of bankruptcy
and ruin. And we who are 80 and
over have heard this all our lives.
No doubt our fathers and grand
fathers heard the same thing. The
farmer, as well as the rest of us,
has his troubles, and usually re-
covers from them.
Fifteen years ago a very large
percentage of the farmers, espec-
tally the tenant class, were fol-
lowers of Debs and his socialistic
program. We have ever reason
to believe that the contrary is now
true. Socialism has been proven
over and over again to be a false
god. Since the days of the Spar
tans of ancient Greece to the pres
ent time of communism in Russia,
the idea when put into actual prac-
tlce has proven a complete failure.
There is no such thing as social
ism in practice. The theory is

in ave dreamed over it pondered it,
wrote about it; preached it and died
upholding it. But socialism today
is exactly where it was three thou
sand years ago-only beautiful
dream in the minds of men.
Several years ago brother of
mine, then a hot-head socialist, af-
ter making a socialistic speech in
Western Oklahoma to a farmer au-
dience, went about among the "com-
RAIDS" shaking hands. He approach

INDIANA POLITICS

VincenneS Publisher Charges
 Graft and Corruption

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 5 tP- While political Indiana wondered where the lightning of wholesale charges Of political fraud and cor ruption dating back to 1924 would strike, Thomas H. Adams, veteran Vincennes publisher, who has con- ducted the crusade almost single handed to date, prepared today to go to Chicago to seek backing in his effort to obtain an investigation of conditions in Indiana by the United States senate.
 Undeterred by the skepticism which in some quarters greeted his broadside of charges of corruption, barter and sale Of offices, graft, fraudulent indictment of public off cials as parts of a gigantic frame up" and domination of officials by the unseen hand of D. C. Stephen son, former grand dragon of the Ku I<lux Klan, Adams and the followers attracted to his expose undertook numerous moves Looking toward in yestigation of the evidence he has gathered by an official constituted body.
 Sec Basis for Probe
 Six state senators who revived the evidence in Adams possession over the weekend and pronounced it as meriting Legislative investigation" proceeded with plans to sound out opinion among members of the sen ate of the last session of the Indiana General assembly as to the possibil- ity of obtaining a special session, formal or informal. to appoint a probe committee.
 At the same time attorneys direct ed their attention to determining the specific powers with which a senate session would be clothed in any at tempts to dig to the bottom of the publishers assertions.

Hartford's Insurance Go.
 Losses in Fla. S6,490,356

Hartford, Oct. 5-The total lia- bility of Hartford insurance com panies in the Greater Miami district including the several suburban de- velopments, in the recent storm dis aster is figured at s6,4o0,S56, ac- cording to compilations now avail able The best insurance estimates place the total insurance liability in the territory at s25,00o,oo0. Losses to companies will, 1t is believed, be less than 25 per cent of their lia- bility. Because of the peculiar freaks of the storm some compan- ies will escape with small losses.
 The gross liability of Hartford companies in the Greater Miami district is as follows: Aetna, s2,000,- 900; Hartford Fire s3,oO0,000; Ma tional Fire, s472,750; Phoenix, s545,750; Travellers Fire s471,356. Total s6,490,S56.

 It is upon the engine room of the power plant that furnishes Snug Harbor with heat, light and water, however, that the old men lavish their greatest attention, because 1t lis the nearest approach they find 10 the scenes of the bygone days when they were seafarers. No brass work ever glistened brighter on man o'war than the rails and trimmings in the engine room.

Eight Hundred Ancient Mariners Keep Alive Old Traditions of the Sea While They Live Again the Days of Tore.

New York, Oct. 5 0p - Eight hundred ancient mariners, who once ran up sails and kept watch in the crows nest of proud sailing ships when their hands were steadier and their eyes less dim than now, still keep alive the old traditions in the Sailors Snug Harbor on Staten l Island.
 The hands that once did battle against fierce storms and yielded | the harpoon, now are turned to more peaceful tasks making tiny models of stately square-riggers of | a by-gone era, weaving cord ham, mocks, bags and grass baskets, and caring for their gardens and live stock.
 But neither In their talk nor in their Hand lubber" work have they forgotten the old traditions. Snug Harbor, which consists of a beauti-

 She Retained Own Money

The tragedy oc- cured at Roberts home Saturday. Differences over a suitor for the hand of their 14-year old daughter also figured in the quarrel that pre- ceded the killing, Constable Falcon said.
 Investigation revealed, the author ities said, that the couple had quar- rcled when Mrs. Roberts had refus- ed to turn over to her husband the money she had earned on Friday by working in grain field. After choking and threatening to kill her, he went out, but returned later and beat her with a chair. When she still refused to part with her earn ings he beat her to death with an axe.
 The Bedford police, summoned by neighbors who heard her screams, found Roberts smoking his pipe on the front porch. Constable Falcon arrived alone and learned the story by talking with Roberts, but when endorsements appeared Roberts leaped from his chair crying: You'll never get me-" drew a razor, and ended his life.

RIO DE JANEIRO, June l6 tP).--
Members of the Chamber of Deputies
who have intimate knowledge OF the
Chambers attitude regarding the with
drawal of Brazil from the League Of
Nations, today informed the Associat-
ed Press that the move was an express
sion of a national desire to keep
Brazil from European alliances.
Plinio Casado, floor leader Of the
anti-government minority. said mem
bership in the league would inevitably
result in national enlbarra ssment
sither by complications arising through
Brazil becoming involved in intrigues
of European diplomacy. or by her par
ticipation in attempted settlements of
difficulties arising between nations.
The government withdrawal from
the league" said Augusta Lima. act
Ing president of the committee of for.
eign affairs. has the approval of the
entire nation. Its action means Brazil g
closer relations with the American re-
publics, especially the United States.
All the nation supports Brazil's with
drawal. 1t became inevitable when 1t
was seen that Latin America would

HARD TASK FOR BRAND.
Differences Among Parties, Sharply
Defined, Must Be Bridged.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
PARIS. June 16.--Complete uncer-
tainty marks the French political
crisis. Premier BRAND has been
asked to form a new government. He
is opposed to complete national
union government, but favors a par
tial union, including former Premier
Herriot and the Radicals, with per
hans ex-President Poincare as finance
minister.
NJ. Poincare, 1t Is understood, would
accept. However. it is doubtful If NJ
BRAND can succeed in forming such a
cabinet. NJ Herriot favors capital
levy. which NJ. Poincare resolutely op
noses. 1t seems impossible that two
men with such fundamentally differ
ent financial conceptions could work
together.
If Premier BRAND fails to form
government, NJ Herriot will be of
fered the premiership, but there are
indications that he would not like
to take over power under present
conditions. Joseph Caillaux's name
also is mentioned. but the possibillt!
of a CaillauX government seems fal
removed.
The whole situation is complicated
hy differences of opinion. not only
between groups but within the groups
themselves. Some of the deputies
favor a complete national union gov
ernment, others partial union. ant
still others a party government baset
for example on the Left cartel OF
the moderate Center.
Rela tions between the government
and the Bank of France still are
subject Of discussion. While serious
d;ssension is reported among th'
uemhers of the so-called experts
commission to devise plan for sav
ing the franc.
The writer's impression is tha
the country as whole has no com
nrahansion Of the fupdamentals O
the financial trouble. ana hence IL y
;r,nossihle for any government ever
nov to propose successfully the radi
cal remedies which alone seem ca
na bile of restoring French finances.
