helped to develop this county.
Marion is one of the live wires in

The American Dog Derby
DOR some reason or other most
every region Of Importance sup
ports an annual festival of some sort
TO which the local inhabitants can
go, disport themselves and brag about
the home town. These celebrations
take many forms, but it remained for
the little town of Ashton, Idaho. just
west of Yellowstone park, to inaugu-
rate the American Dog Derby, in
1917.
The country roundabout is a great
seed-producing section-car load after
carload of seed potatoes, seed peas.
seed wheat, seed oats and seed barley
being shipped out to states far and
near. During the preceding year Ash
ton carried off very generous portion
of the prizes at the state seed show.
A bountiful fall of snow made the
growing of these crops possible and
the American dog derby was decided
upon in the nature of jubilation
event.
The course is approximately twen-
ty-fiye miles long. in the shape of a
loop eight and one-third miles around.
Ashton, being located at the begin
ming and end of the loop, the contes-
tants passing through the town three
times during the course of the race.
Originally. the dogs were all native
grown and used to haul mail and sup
,,1;nz ~ fl,o commemorative oopapv aud
ranches when the depth of the snow
made this necessary. Now, however,
this annual affair has gained such
notoriety that dog teams are raised
specifically for racing purposes, many
dogs being imported for breeding pur-
poses.

IN MEMORIAM

The sudden death of Charles Emil Ruthenberg General
Secretary of the Workers (CommunisD Party, leaves
great gap in its ranks and takes from the revolutionary
of the United States of its most devoted
capable and energetic leaders.
In Ruthenberg expressed perhaps in other
personality the continuity Of the American revolutionary
movement He the sole outstanding figure who car
ried into party the very best traditions of the
pre-war socialist movement AS secretary Of the Ceve-
land section of the socialist party, Ruthenberg
ssenty fought the opporunist tendencies and the
portunist leaders Of the socialist movement
The knowledge and skill which he developed in the
struggle against American capitalism and its allies in
the ranks of the workers he brought to the young Com
munst party and party will feel his absence deeply.
Ruthenberg lived in and for the Communist Party
section of the party knows better than the staff Of

greve not much for ourselves although the
loss is poignant but for party and the American

TINE death of c. E. Ruthenberg
i brings a feeling of loss to the
revolutionary movement and sense
of personal loss to those who were
closely acquainted with him. Only
two weeks ago comrade Ruthenberg
walked into this office and gave us
al CHEEKY greeting. He looked the
picture Of health and seemed oes-
tined to play leading role in party
councils for many years to come
rather than to be stricken down by
she grim reaper in the prime of his
life and at the heieht of his revolu-
tionary career.
d UTHENBERG'S life was full of
N incident, particularly since his ar
rest in the early days of the war for
anti-war activities. Since then he
was under constant indictment and
spent much time in prison. I recall
very distinctly the famous Bridge
man raid when sixteen Communists
were arrested on the morning Of Au-
gust %, and herded in Berrien Coun-
ty jail. 1t was a beautiful morning
after rainy night. Most of the
delegates to the convention had got

John BALKAN, active party trade
unionist, spoke of the long career of
absolute devotion to the working class
exemplified by Ruthenberg.
Freda Kirchwey, managing editor of
The Nation, said, "The American
working class loses one of its most
fearless leaders"
Alexander Trachtenberg told Of
Ruthenberg's always standing "for
revolutionary socialism against re-
formism."
Charles Krumbein, New York in
dustrial organizer, spoke Of Ruthen-
berg fighting when it meant much
to fight" in the days of persecution.
Bertram D. Wolfe, head of the New
York Workers School, praised the in
dominatable spirit of the Ruthenberg.
who declared, only few weeks before
his death, "Since 1917, there is one
period of only months during which
I have not been in Jail or under in
dictment,"
Ben Gitlow referred to the pioneer
work done by Ruthenberg in organ
izing the Communist movement in
America, and declared the party men,
bers pledge themselves, ito build up
in the United States a powerful sec
ton of the Communist International"
as the best tribute to Ruthenberg.
