selves while at the same time helping
to prevent the workers from doing
anything that would seriously endan-
ger the existing order.
LTHEN the American workers are
w driven by the cruel slave-driver
necessity to organize politically in q
mass labor party, when the sheep dogs
of capitalism can no longer hold them
in the folds of the two capitalist par
ties, then our Greens and our Walkers
will follow the flock, but only to lead
them into another fold. At the same
time, however, the revolutionary wing
of the labor movement, represented in
all countries by the Communist Party,
is on the job and contesting every inch
of the way with the labor traitors.
While the latter tell the workers that
cooperation with capitalism is the
best policy for the workers, the Com
Dmunists point out that too much CO.
operation with capitalism has left the
workers enslaved and that only
break with the capitalist system will
free labor from the chains that now
bind it, that until this system is over
thrown this. world will be a huge
prison where the body and soul of
humanity is fettered to the chariot of
greed.
CINCERE but weak-spirited individ-
~ uals despair of human progress
when they see this selling of labor go
on year after year. It is not hard to
find a man who was formerly active
in the radical movement expressing
the belief that nothing can be done
for the working class, that they are
not worth bothering with. Some OF
those people are now well-to-do. Some
are on the bum. One of the latter
walked into the office a few days ago.
He is now selling razor-blade sharp
eners. THE workers are not worth
saving" he remarked. A member Of
the staff replied that our visitor found
them worth shaving.
THERE is a lot of philosophy buried
l. here. Evidently this man threw
himself into the movement at one time
with the consoling thought that he
was going to help save the workers.
For himself, perhaps he needed no sal
vation. He could get along fairly well
under capitalism. There is no reason
why a good soapboxer should not sell
Florida or Los Angeles real estate,

SUNDAY SCHOOL HEAD

DETROIT, Oct. 2e.-charles Kirk

today faced a prison term of from
one to flye years following his con-
Victlon last night on a charge Of
violating the Mann act. He will be
sentenced Saturday.

Fstart religion or become a chiro-
practor. But this particular person
found the workers receptive to his
message when their bellies we're SEN
sitive, but when they had something
to fill them with they went to bur-
lesque show or took a girl to the
movies, while the evangellstic soap
boxer was developing a nice dose Of
bronchitis on the street corner, or
watching the eockroachess in some
filthy Jail.
EoR a while the martyr spirit pre-
vailed, but at last the spiritual
bone cracked and our evangelist be.
gan to hate the working class. And
here we find him, either rolling around
in his Chrysler or selling snake oil to
the citizens Of Madison street, whose
stomachs are massaged none too
kindly by the barbs and darts Of alley
moonshine. He has lost all hope, he is
another unit Of human wreckage that
goes down in the struggle. But what
about the successful ex-radical who
loses faith? Where is his compensa,
tion? Happiness is an elusive fairy,
but 1t is very questionable if those
who have lost the only worthwhile
purpose in life can be compensated by
money for the loss.

OEVERAL columns could be written
~ on the battling question: Why do
some people follow the thorny path
that leads to physical suffering with
out either the prospect or desire to
better their own material conditions?
The few have been prosecuted in all
ages because they refused to accom-
modate themselves to the legal class
requirements of the rulers of the day.
Yet the masses, who either ignored
their trials or joined their masters in
prosecuting them, were the beneficial
ries of their sufferings. Thus progress
hobbies along.
DARADOXICAL tho it may seem to
L many, days of prosperity are not
days OF mental ease for the radical
under capitalism. Those are the days
that try souls. 1t takes more than
the spirit of an evangelist or an anti
vaccinationist to stand up under the
spectacle Of a labor leader driving a
rivet into the keel of capitalist bat
tleship or another labor leader buying
orange groves in Florida with the
money of union members, either freely
given or involuntarily, with the con-
soling thought that as long as they
were getting theirs they could afford
to let him have ten times more, A
knowledge of history is what will keep
you from flying off your base and out
Of the abyss of pessimism, from which,
like hell, there is no redemption.

FREDDIE SCHMIDT IA KzNG
 GREAT SUCCESS AS COACH
Horace Mann School of New York City Claiming Grid Title of Greater New York-Local Boy Assists As Mentor For Undefeated Team-Eleven Prevented Opposing Teams From Crossing Goal Line - Has Charge of Training Members of Squad

With an undefeated record and an uncrossed goal line during the past season, the Horace Mann school football team of New York city of which Fred E. Schmitt, son of Mir. and Mrs. Henry Schmitt of ASA East Main street is assistant coach now lays claim to the preparatory school championship of greater New York.
 The team was victorious over Poly Prep, 2 to 3; Morristown Prep. 21 to O.; Montclair Academy. 17 to 0; and defeated it's arch rival Hackney school of Tarrytown. The victory over Hackney was the second scored by the Horace Mann in the 10 years of their gridiron relations, and the other was scored only last year. Previously the best Horace Mann could do against Tarrytown was one tie In seventeen years.
 The head coach, W. r. Tewhill. Brown university graduate and Fred Schmitt who is also the schools physical director have worked to- gether to bring the team from obli- vion to it's present high standing, according to reports from New York papers, Schmitts success has been so outstanding that when his pres ent contract expires he will receive a better offer to return.
 Not only does the New Brltain-boy handle the team in practice and in the games but he also supervises it in training. He Is an authority on modern methods of training with the result that his team was con- sidered the best trained array of gridders on the field.
 He is clever tumbler and gynnast. Some time ago his appli- cation to the public amusement commission to become supervisor of backgrounds in this city was re- jected in favor Of another. Since then he hes proved himself q cap- able physical director and has q much better position than any he could have secured in this city.
 As a member of the Pioneer, h. dependent and Annex baseball clubs In this city some years ago, he was considered the leading outfielder in the city. His speed in the paths and in getting under flies made him Q valuable player to each of his teams.
