FORBES does not criticize Daugh-
erty for his red-baiting policy or
his efforts to crush the labor move
ment by means of injunctions. His
anger against the former attorney
general was due to the feeling that
he had been double crossed. Forbes
tells of seeing seventy-five one thou-
sand dollar bills on Jess Smiths desk
in the department of justice. Smith
said they belonged to Daugherty.
Harding was "truly spiritual" says
Forbes. While looking into the crater
of Hawaiian volcano the president
"This is Gods work and
he alone can quiet the flame"
AFTER a three-year investigation
Al into the traffic in women and chill
dren for immoral purposes conducted
by committee of the Council of tho
League of Nations, the report is ready
but because certain powers that are
represented in the league council are
involved, it will be published only in
expurgated form. Among those pow
ers are some of the most active in
the crusade to save civilization from
the "Bolshevik menace"
A NEW YORK society girl lost an
~ ear in an automobile accident.
While the fashion was to have ears
hidden the lady did not miss it, but
it is rumored that a woman who has
ears must be prepared to show them
this season. So the rich society girl
advertised for an ear for which she
was willing to pay $1,000. A Chicago
woman who is burdened with a child
and owes some money will let the So
ciety girl have one of her ears for
$4,000. Gold can even buy brains
nowadays.
MORE about that fake uprising in
AVA the Ukraine: Last summer, a
Roumanian foreign office official told
q correspondent that "On the 10th of
June there will be a meeting of the
chiefs of a counter-revolution gov
eminent at Kharkof to raise the PAN
Ukranian flag" The correspondent
replied: eff you know it so does the
Cheka. They will be dead before they
meet-it is simply absurd"
HOW little regard capitalist editors
IA have for the reliability of what
they publish was demonstrated last
week when they spread those rumors
over their front pages. Even yet, Rou-
manian papers are furnishing their
readers with lurid details of "re-
volts" that never took place.
FRANCE, with a population of less
Il than 100000 has standing
army of $4,000 men while the Soviet
Union with a population of over 140,-
100000 and territory that covers one
sixth of the earth's surface has an
army numbering only $4,000, ac-
cording to the figures given out by
a French deputy, while proposing the
appropriation of the enormous sum of
6158, 100000 francs for the upkeep
of the army during the year 1928. :
Another deputy said that Italy spent
over five billion francs on her arn,ay
last year.

one hesitates to apply the rather
Vlengthy and ugly word to Katherine
Mayo who wrote the anti-Hindoo
book Mother India" for the British
Foreign Office as justification Of
British rule in India. Katherine
Mayo is an American and the same
virtuous female who wrote another
vicious book against the Filipinos for
The American government. Like
Madam Goddam in "The Shanghai
Gesture" dollars and pounds have
the same rating in this imperialist
lady's moral Bradstreet.
