LETTER MkS


WASHINGTON- cheaper to
buy a political convention than a
whole state.
This indubitable fact may not be
foremost in the minds Of those who
would abolish the popular primary,
but the defenders of popular govern
ment do not hesitate to assert that
| it is the principal inspiration of the
anti primary movement.
Former Senator Robert L. Owen
Of Oklahoma, president of the Ma
tional Popular Government League,
who recently went after Vice Presi-
dent Dawes for his attack on the
primary system, insists that the whole
thing boils down to matter of eco
nomical corruption and says he can
prove it.
We've seen them buy conventions,
legislatures and primaries" Owens
told your correspondent theother day.
ut only cost about 100000 to get
senate seat for Lorimer, but it cost
Smith and Ware ten times as much"
Owen is among those who favor
making it harder to buy high offices
rather than easier. He believes, how
ever, that Vice President Dawes is
perfectly honest in his views and
has only been nisled by his friends.
"Reactionary elements are trying
TO take away power from the peo-
ple," Owen said "The best evidence
of the way they work and what they
are after was the expenditure of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in a
primary by the president of the man
ufacturers' association in PennSyl-
vania.
I'm nearly a hundred cases of pre-
datory monopoly whose evil prac-
tices were reported by the federal
trade commission to the department
OF justice, prosecutions were smoth-
cred. Are these predatory interests
governing the country or not?
1--WE are not likely to have a die
tatorship in this country, as Dawes
and others suggest. The good peo-
pie still have control of the congress
and if the big fellows impose on the
people too much the people will kick
them out and make them behave
for while"
1t was recalled to Owen that the
dictatorship bogey had been raised by
new organization which perceived
an organized campaign of ridicuIe
against congress, designed to lessen
its Influence and pave the way for q
''man on horseback
Owen thought it true that some

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
MIR. CELLINI

I used to picture people who could
sculp and paint and draw
1 mean of course the very IA
nous sort
AS persons one should think of with
a reverential awe
AS we regard the U. S. supreme
court
I thought that they were dignified,
and lofty in their mein
Who would not mix in fracas brawl
or fight,
But like their great creations stern,
aloff, reserved, serene
And in a lot OF cases 1 was right
But there was Benvenuto-he could
always do mis- stuff
In a fashion that the critics said
was great iN
But it has to be admitted that the
lad was pretty rough
When he once made up his mind
to dissipate.
He was handy with his graver, but
still handler with his blade,
He could ply his craft an eager
months or two,
But still more jealous pleasure in
his efforts he displayed
When engaged on running rival
FOUNDERS through.
Benvenuto wasn't "arty"; he was
fond of talking shop,
But he liked still more to roam
about the town
Picking pretty little fuses with some
surly Roman cop
Or knocking six or seven watch
men down.
! The dignified patricians OF that
medieval day
Would often hear a row. and call
their men,
Equip them with artillery, and speed
them on their way
Relnarking "Benvenutos out again."
Its hard to think of sculptors, and
the men who draw and paint
AS batting round the town the
whole night long,
Behaving in fashion that is quite
beyond restraint
And often doing things extremely
wrong.
, But one can't help admiring any
genius laden lad
| Who thought the pose OF genius
was absurd,
And even though his conduct was q
little to the bad
I'll say that Benvenuto was a
bird!

lagers), gaunt youth leaped to his
feet and cried passionately: From the
workers of Serpukov, take this word
to our brothers in America. For three
years the Russian workers have been
bleeding and dying for the revolution
and not our own revolution but the
world revolution. Tell our American
comrades that we listen day and night
for the sound of their footsteps com
ing to our aid. But tell them, too, that
no matter how long it may take them,
we shall hold firm. Never shall the
Russian workers give up their revolu-
ton. We die for socialism, which per-
haps, we shall never see'."
The eloquence of this spirit could
Only be communicated to America
through such as John Reed for he
was one of the few whose pen was
gifted with the fluid of fire.
Gave Life for Revolution.
1t was while he was carrying on
this work that he fell sick with
typhus. At first he disregarded his
i'll health and counted on his splendid
physical frame to resist this dread
disease. But his frame had lost its
early health in the severe days of
revolutionary struggle, and he sue
| cumbed among those others of his
Russian comrades who had contracted
the same disease in the same strug-
gle. Finally, on October 18th, 1920
he died.
The Russian workers knew him for
his work and they deeply felt the loss
of him. They buried him with the
honors they gave only to the most be-
loved of the revolutionary dead. And
now, underneath the great Kremlin
Wall ne lies in close proximity to the
graves of the dead of the October Re-
volution, the great Mausoleum where
Lenin lies and beneath the niche that
Comrade Ruthenberg has won within
the Kremlin Wall itself.
A Heroic Figure
John Reed has made a, great con-
tribution not only to the Russian and
World Revolutions but most particu-
larry to the American Revolution, for
John Reed is great example to the
American youth. Let none scott at
his lack of clarity on some of the
teachings of Marx and Lenin for his
revolutionary work is powerful light
that pales into insignificance the
vaporings of those who only pretend
to know. A real Marxist-Leninist will
appreciate the true greatness of John
Reeds contribution. Let us therefore
all remember him for what he was
and hold him aloft as one of those
heroic figures which the struggling
revolutionary proletariat of the United
States win in historic perspective
learn to love and honor for what he
gave to our cause.
