Lake Boat Boy Punched
for Begging After
Losing Job
(Ry Young Worker Correspondent

Wy iOAHA WYNN
BUFFALO, N. Y.-The won
derful lot of the young workers
under capitalism and Coolidge's
prosperity, is shown by the case
of Edwin Mork, eighteen year
old worker who was arrested
for begging on Main st.
This young worker came to
Buffalo from Nebraska and
worked on the lake boats until
navigation was closed by the
December ice. From that time
one he has had to exist by doing
whatever odd jobs he could pick
up. Last Saturday he was faced
by the necessity of begging or
going without food. His plight
can be appreciated when one
knows that the temperature was
a little above zero. Mork was
pulled into court, where the
kindly capitalist Judge suspend
ca sentence, ana left MIN to his
hunger.
The high wages paid to the
young workers is shown by the
fact that Mork was marooned
here whe nhis lake-boat job was
taken from him.
The Young Workers Com
munist) League rallies the
workers of Buffalo to a fight
against these rotten conditions.
The League meets every Mon
day evening at Finnish Hall, 159
Order ST. All young workers
are invited to the meetings.
In brief the important things to
remeber are to write the bulletins
in popular fashion, to draw in
other young workers in putting it
out, and not to ge caught distrib
uting the milf there is any chance
of losing your job as a result of it.

Thoughts of Worth
! Call for Expression

These two forms of slence-the
silence of communion and the ST
lence of repression-s spring from
beautiful and sterling founda
lions. But i'll themselves they are
incomplete, and Individual lives,
Though enriched, are never fulfilled
through them Mysticism and
martyrdom must he related to lis-
ing issues through expression, or
they degenerate the one into In
Prospective solitude. the other into
na9rowness of Judgment, says a
writer in the North American.
Lives become sterile which might
have been rich, had experience been
translated into utterance.
The ministration of words Is In
deed blessed ministry. Because
there are so many idle words, SO
maay harmful words. so many In
sincere and bitter and malicious
ones. we must not stumble into the
mistake of believing that silence Of
itself has golden merit There Is
the silence of indifference OF self
consciousness, of carelesness or
weariness; there Is the lazy 81
lenee. the silence which grows from
sense of futililty. or from con
,,rhpt and pride. Silence, no less
than inaction, may be form of
sel6shness. AS the laws Of har-
mony exist without music, so may
all that Is fundamentally beautiful
In human life exist without words.

Jefferson Bible One
of Nations Treasures

The so-callad Jefferson bible Is
n compilation made by Thomas
Jefferson, consisting of passages
from the four Gospels cut out and
pasted in volume according to
scheme Of his own. He began the
work about 1904, during his Presi-
dency, when he bought two Eng
liSh TeStaments and compiled a
work of 46 pages. Two evenings
were spent at this interesting task,
at the conclusion of which the
President remarked: "A more pre-
cious morsel of ethics was never
seem He intended this first
abridgment for the use of the In
dians. From letter which he
wrote to a friend it is learned that
he was in the habit of reading
from the volume every night before
going to bed. About 1919 Jeffer-
sou completed the work by doing
the same thing with Testaments
in -'Greek, Latin and French. He
entitled the work, THE Life and
Morals of Jesus OF Nazareth" The
book contains no notes except the
section of the Roman law under
which Jesus was supposed to have
been brought to trial The list of
passages, the title pages and the
references to passages are In tho
handwriting of Jefferson. Two
maps, one of Palestine and the
other of the ancient world, are
pasted in front The original work
is in the National museum, Wash

among birds. There are many rec

JUNEAU, Feb. (P)-Acting Gov ernor Karl Theile, Commissioner of Education Lester D. Henderson, May or Connors, Bishop Crimont, of Ju- neau, Catholic Bishop of Alaska, and pastors of the local Presbyterian, Episcopal and Catholic churches here denied the charges made by Doctor Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the Methodist Christian Temperance Union and Board of Public Morals, before the Senate Committee hearing in Washington, that "vice here in Alaska was the worst in the world"
 Governor Thiele said: "Alaskans are a lawabiding people with morals as high as anywhere in the world as everyone familiar with conditions here knows: I know to my personal knowl- edge that Wilson's attack is unjusti- fled and without foundation of facts"
 Commissioner Lester D. Henderson said "The statement that moral con- ditions here are worse than in the greater part of the United States and that Alaska officialdom is in league with law violators is prompted either by a desire to wilfully misrepresent or ignorance"
 Bishop Crimont said: q raise my indignant protest against the slander- ous and stupid utterances reported in the charges against Alaska official dom. Conditions, morality and law obedience are good or better than ex- isting elsewhere in the United States and most of civilization"
 Similar statements were made by other preachers.
