KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July IL. -
The international convention Of the
Young Peoples Baptist Union closed
here yesterday. Delegates were
present from most of the western
states and some from Canada. Dur
ing the discussions the forum leader
spoke Of the war danger and was
followed in the regular Church"
manner by speakers speaking of the
horrors of war and pious wishes for
its cessation. Furthermore all del
egates pledged allegiance to the
flags and spoke of the glory of Civ

was an indication of the peaceful"

Hints on Open Air Meetings

or four-line notice is often very
helpful.
Building the Meetings.
In large cities open-air meetings
can be built up by choosing a par
ticular evening of the week for a
given corner and having meeting
on the corner on the same evening
every week. The crowd will soon
learn to come to that corner every
Monday or Wednesday or Friday, as
the case may be.
Maintaining Order.
Maintain perfect order. An open
air meeting is a favorite spot for
certain types of comrades to gather
for sociability. They will stand
around in groups, generally below
the platform, and carry on all sorts
of discussions. They become very
noisy, become highly offended when
approached to maintain order, and
quickly succeed in demoralizing the
meeting. Many good speeches are
interrupted and numerous splendid
meetings are destroyed by this nui-
sance. A strong committee, trained
to deal gently but firmly with this
evil, will quickly rid corner of it.
Disturbers.
A worse evil even than the one
above described is the disturber who
knows more than the speaker. With
few telling remarks, he quickly
destroys the faith of an audience in
any speaker. This type of crank
can never be enticed to go up on
the platform to show what he can
do.
Very often he will not express his
opinion openly. He simply decides
that the speaker is not making
good job, so he finds victim and
sets out to convert him to Commu-
nism in his own way. Our crank

dino's noble army and show them
the errors Of their way. On the
Amazon in South America "our steel
barges" and steamboats," are plow-
ing their way for the Armours and
! Wilson's, who are seeking new worlds
to conquer. These barges and boats
will turn to vipers and kissing adj
ders when the time comes to pay
the debts owed to Wall Street. Then
will the South American hear the
roar of "our guns" as did the Chi
nese in their efforts to shake from
their back the imperialists of Amer
lea and the world. Haiti and the
Philippines have had their workers
annihilated by the steel guns and
the munitions of war manufactured
in this industrial bee hive of i'm
perialism.
Terrific Strain
Here the worlds labor market
has been raped for the workers who
could stand up under the strain of
the seven-day week and the 12-hour
day. Here has been gathered the
workers who have spoken the Ian
guages of the lndias and the lands
of every cline under the sun, in or
der that steel might be- produced

idealist has seen his visions and
dreams turned into guns and mum.

child of his fancy turned into the
carnage and the blood bath of bat
tie. Here has been gathered the
private army of private wealth in
order that the long. toilsome road of
organized labor might be wiped out
in an hour Of bloody battle. All of
this in order that the slaves of steel

is soon in the midst of a most en-
ticing, know-nothing political dis
cussion. The crowd, always attract
,ed by novelty, will quickly COM
mence to gather around the debat-
ers, third will enter into the dis
cussion, then forth. The debaters
split off into two teams each with
its circle of admirers. This process
continues until the speaker finds
himself talking to several circles of
backs, and the meeting quickly
comes to an end
The best method of dealing with
this disease is to have a member of
the committee break up the discus
sion by calling the debaters quietly
aside and appealing to the debater
who is friendly to discontinue. If
he refuses, he can be invited to go
to another corner and hold his own
meeting. Sometimes a show of
force is necessary. Sometimes a
very popular speaker can appeal to
the audience to expel the disturber
This nuisance is an ever-present
danger, with which it is most diff
ficult to deal.
The trouble lies in the fact that
these disturbers secretly believe
that they are superior to the speak
err. AS general rule, this is not
true. "A speaker can be successful
only thru special study of his sub
ject, and is, therefore, the one best
qualified as a propagandist. Be-
sides this the speaker always has
the advantage of being on a plat
form, which helps him to carry a
mass appeal and to gain results far
beyond anything that can be hoped
for from the best of cranks.

No war can be carried on today
without steel, chemicals and motor
cars. Steel goes into the manufac-
ture of guns, munitions, motor cars
and trucks. Not battleship, either
submarine or destroyer, dreadnaught
or fast cruiser but must be built
out of steel these days. Even the
super-dreadnaught must be built of
steel and be covered with belt of
steel above the water line from "a

tiles and torpedoes, Steel tanks

To be successful, an evening open

eight o'clock sharp, and in no case
should it last above two and one
half hours. Usually two hours is
sufficient to hold a meeting. Within

and questions answered. Excep-

in progress. 1t is much better to
discontinue a meeting at the two

the crowd will come back for the
next meeting, if your meeting was
successful in gaining their interest
or attention.
Advertising the Meeting.
Open-air meetings can be built up
very easily with a little organiza-
ton. If the meeting is to open at
8 p. M, the platform should be on
the corner with sign at least an
hour earlier, announcing the time
when the meeting will be opened.
Try this a couple of times, and you
will soon discover that the function
of the chairman is to make a plea
SAINT five-minute introduction of the
meeting rather than to act as loud
speaker extraordinary. Where there
is a newspaper, the meetings should
be announced in the press. In
small towns the local bourgeois pa
per will often carry notice of even
Communist meetings. A little three

room to move around in will never
have as good results as an audience
that is closely packed. A well-or-
ganized committee can quickly pack
crowd by going to the outskirts
and gently pushing forward. This
is very delicate maneuver. The
cpowding fforward must be so car
ried out as to seem entirely unin-
territorial and the result of great in
terest in what the speaker is say
ing. If clumsily done, trouble is
very likely to result.
Patrolling the Meeting.
The best and most experienced
comrades should be posted on the
outskirts Of the crowd to safeguard
the meetings from disturbances of
all kinds, to be ready to deal with
cranks and nuisances, and to attend
to the process of packing the crowd,
Order of Business.
A well-conducted meeting will
open at p. m. sharp with a five
minute speech by the chairman, not
for the purpose of getting a crowd
but to make few important re-
marks and announcements. Chair
manship of this sort is first-class
training for beginners.
About rs minutes should be given
to speaking, to be followed by a
collection, then the sale of litera-
ture, and then Questions. Special
announcements can be made after
the sale of literature. Good speak
ers do not lose the crowd by MAX
ing collection. If the crowd can
not be held thru a collection, it is
best not to attempt the collection.
While the collection is being tax
en- and literature sold, the speaker
must frequently refer to the fact
that the meeting is about to be

CAMPFIRE STORIES
THE WAYS OF MICA, THE COYOTE.

learned that it had q scent differe1l
from good meat. They knew and re-
membered the poison smell and kept
their young from eating the bad meat,
so that the little ones learned wisdom
from their parents.
So 1t came about that in time all
coyotes knew the smell Of poisoned
meat, no matter how cunningly man
tried to disguise it, and they would
not touch it.
In like manner, by being shot at and
wounded but surviving their wounds,
they learned that man walking along
with stick-like weapon over his shoul-
der, meant danger, and they kept out
OF the way, teaching their young. also.
to avoid man with gun. They also
were caught in traps, but many man
aged to escape from them, and they
remembered the smell of the metal
which they associated with the thing
that had caught and hurt them, and
they kept away from that smell, too.
Thus gradually through experiences
that put fear Of certain dangerous
scents into their minds, the coyotes
learned what not to do, and taught the
knowledge to their young. In time,
man did not have a single trick with
which the coyotes were not familiar,
so that now 1t Is a very different task
to kill coyote or a wolf from what
1t once was. They know the scent Of
danger and are able to guard against
1t. To do this the coyote must be as
wise as man, so that he Is able to live
close to man and yet avoid him-which
is exactly what he does today.

The Indians say that Mica, the
coyote, Is the very wiseSt animal that
runs the open country, and I think
they are right For the coyote some
how manages to survive, even with
every mans hand against him, and
with every one trying to kill him In
every possible way.
Many coyotes are killed each year,
but many also escape the guns, traps,
dogs, poisons, and everything else that
man uses to bring about their deStruc-
ton. Not only does Mica survive, but
he has developed habits that are almost
dog-like, for he comes close to the
homes of men instead Of keeping as
far away as possible, which Is what the
wolf, Shunga Manitou, does. Yet the
wolf has been almost exterminated be-
cause he cannot think as fast as man
can, and there are only few wolves
left, while coyotes are becoming more
numerous and more sly as they learn
to live close to man without being
caught or killed.
At first the coyote did not know how
dangerous man could be, because he
had not had any experience with him.
When men began to use poison to kill
wolves and coyotes, neither animal
knew any better than to eat the pol
Soned meat which was put out where
they could easily find 1t. In this way,
thousands of both species were killed,
while other hundreds were made very
sick by the meat, but did not die.
