TIVE dollars for three minute
i exhortation to the capitalist deity
is the compensation allowed by the
New York assembly for that kind
of labor. Mrs. Edith Craig, pastor
Of the First Baptist Church Of Hoo
sick, N. Y. has the doubtful honor
to be the first woman to have ever
opened the New York assembly with
prayer. After reading Elmer Gan
try by Sinclair Lewis, one would not
be surprised if the spiritual Edith
adjourned to the cloak room after
her effort, to shoot a little game OF
craps with the speaker.
TINE sum of 100000 will be
i split among the stockholders of
the Lackawanna railroad by order of
the directors. The par value of the
roads stock was originally $50 but
is now $173 on the market. A Su-
preme Court decision ordered the
Lackawanna to separate itself from
its coal properties twelve years ago.
The road was busy with other mat
ters and the Supreme Court is al
ways patient with rail magnates and
coal barons. Now the Lackawanna
will organize a new corporation
which will hold the securities that
are not allowed to repose legally in
the railroads safes. And everything
will go on just as before. This is
surely a convenient social system.
THE United States government
i now admits that it "sold" 5000
rifles, 200 machine guns and 3,000,
600 rounds of ammunition to Diaz
of Nicaragua with which to Sup
press revolutionary activities in that
country" Of course the supplies
were not sold. Diaz hasn't the price
of a meal and there is not a corpor-
ais guard in Nicaragua that would
give him drink of water if they
found him dying of thirst in des-
ert. The United States government
not only supplied Diaz with military
supplies but supplied him with the
soldiers to use them.
THE bombardment of Shanghai by
1 the British and United States
warships is piece of effrontery that
neither bullying imperialism would
dare try on a country like Germany
or France or on the Soviet Union.
This is the kind of treatment they
meted out to the Soviet Union when
it was torn to pieces by civil war and
struggling to get on its feet. That
was before the Red Army was
whipped into shape. 1t is safe to
predict that the cock British and
American naval commanders in Chin
ese waters will use different methods
in China in few years from now
when the Chinese Red army will not
have civil war on its hands and a

rid of.

rolled by the Itasca and Passyunk
teams Of the I. o. r. M. League

the first game these teams tied and
decided that the winner Of the Sec

into the third game the Itasca Sc

until the finish, when they won
three games on a margin of twenty
nine pins. The Tishimingo team
won all three from the Red Cloud

winning two out of three from the
Comanche outfit. Gurin, with
count of 233 in his final game, was
high scorer for the night.
