The Man Hunt Goes On

Those interested in cunning for Communists and
radical abores should not get too much excited over
the omen season in North Carolina. The hunting
seems unusually good the country over just now.
In the Yuciapa case in California several defend
ants have been given heavy prison sentence for
flying red flag from summer camp of laborers
children. One escaped through suicide.
Five members of the Communist party in Chicago
have been arrested and charged with robbery and
violating the state 0edition act Bail of $4,000 each
was demanded the judge setting the bail after con-
ferrinr with members of the American vigantes,
Chicago patrfoteering organization headed by H. A.
Jung.
Five Communist workers in the Ohio coal fields
have been arrested at Martins Ferry in Belmont
county charged with criminal syndicalism. The dis
trict attorney has offered to let them alone II tney
will leave Belmont county and run to cover elsewhere
Three PENNSYLVANIA radicals have been denied an
appeal by the United States supreme court In the
Woodawn case and must serve their sentence OF nVe
wears under the state sedition law dozen similar
casea are on the court dockets in Pennsylvania The
woodlawn decision will serve notice on the PennSyl-

The delirium of 1880 was deplorahle enough
but it could at least be urged in extenuatlon that
question of war and reconstruction was involved. Inc
present sniping against radicals comes in period of

Why This Break7
THOSE who seek signs of VIII,

THOSE who seek signs of what
L. will happen in 1882 might as
well ignore Tuesdays results and
turn their attention to Washington,
where the tariff debacle, the lobby
investigation, the prohibition row,
and the break between President
Hoover and Senator Johnson of
California are stirring up real
trouble.
What has Senator johnson done
anyway, that he first should fail
of appointment as delegate to the
London conference, and then be
srubbed?
The fact that he and President
Hoover have come to- a parting OF
the ways seems obvious, but what
the public would like to know is
why?
Meanwhile, Senator Brookhart
trots off to tell the grand jury what
he has already told the senate.
What the grand jury can, or will
do about it, is another and vastly
more puzzling question.
A three-year-old dinner, at which
TASKS were supposed to be hidden
on a curtained shelf for conven-
fence of those guests who were not
averse to helping themselves" does
not promise very much, either by
way of politics or prosecution.
1t might have been pre-war stuff
you know.

BATTLE OF TIPPECRNOE
November z

TINE Battle of Tippecanoe was
4 fought on the Tippecanoe
river in Indiana on Nov. z, 1911,
between 800 Americans under
william Henry Harrison and an
Indian force estimated at 5000 COM
manded by White Loon, Stone Eat
err and Winnemac.
On Oct. II, 1911, while Harri-
son was building a stockade on the
ute of Terre Haute, one OF his
sentinels was killed from ambush.
Harrison considered this the begin
ming of hoStilities, so he marched to
the site of the village Of Battle
Ground, where the Prophet, a
brother of Tecumseh, was believed
to be melting the Indians to war on
the whites.
Nov. 6, he encamped within
mile of the town, having arranged
to confer with the Prophet the fol-
lowing day. On the morning Of Nov.
Z, the Indians attacked the camp,
but after two hours of stubborn
fighting were driven from the field.
Harrison marched to the town,
found it deserted and destroyed it.
1t was partly because Of this victory
that Harrison was placed in charge
Of American troops in the west.

A Federal Prison Program

Federal prisons have been overcroWoed shanleIuny
for several years Atlanta, with capacity OF l'OU'
has this year at times held as many as 3I1s prls-
oners Leavenworth, with a capacity of l56o houses
372T Mcneil islands facilities supposed to care Tor
5s7 have been stretched to accommodate s78.
The food of prisoners prepared badly and served
improperly Industries have been established for only
a few So most OF them compelled to spend their
time in idleness which trays and breeds dis
orders
These facts and others were cited by Attorney
General Mitchell in an appeal for appropriations OF
s65OOO00 period OF five years for establishment
of five new federal prison units
Mitchell urged the need for employment to accom-
plsh personal reconstruction He said that the proba-
tonary and parole systems were working properly
because sufficient funds had not been provided
Surely congress will not begrudge the small amount
asked to bring the federal prison system lin the
future somewhere near modern, enlightened stand
ards" The existing condition is not new. It has de-
welcomed gradually. and has reached point where
action is imperative Mitchell finally has offered
definite corrective program.
Few will quarrel with his explanation of his
purpose:
ave have no purpose to make the federal prisons
pleasant places for the inmates nor to indulge In
sentimental coddling of the prisoners We advocate
proper housing nourtshng food steady work. Strict
discipline and an educational program for prisoners
not because it makes life agreeable for the in
mates but because it is in the interests OF society
The prison of the future should be at
disciplinary school for those who be reformed,
place Of segregation for the incorrigibles and
laboratory for the study of the causes of crime"

REASON By Ff aASBIs

THE late Senator Burton of Ohio never married
i and shortly before his death he said he believed
he would be a bachelor again if he had his life to
live All of which is as If he had expressed 1t
as his deliberate Judgment after having lived eighty
years, that carrots are much more appealing than
parsnips when in all those years he never had made
the acquaintance of single parsnip.
The merits of the proposition advanced by the late
senator might be argued until the come home,
after which the jury would be divided hopeeSSy each
member of it basing his attitude not upon the argu
ments offered, but upon his own individual makeup,
for be it remembered parents like poets are born and
not made
1t must be perfectly apparent to all who were
familiar with the late Senator Burton that he was
designed to go through life in single rather than in
double harness. that his life intended to be rem
dered solo, rather than in a matrimonial duet or
in fireside ensemble since he was an incurabe in
telectualist.
TIE loved to sit up all night with a river and
i harbor bill, but not possibly picture him
walking the floor at 2 o'clock in the morning with
an infant, suffering from the collie singing Rock a
Bye Baby and tenderly patting the inflated latitude
Had such crisis presented Itself to the d1gni-
fed statesman from Ohio, we believe he would have
sent his offspring steel engraved card courteously
asking to be excused on the ground that he had q
previous engagement
The senator was In error to contend that no man
deliberately chose marriage or matrimony for
proper thing. that 1t came at certain stage OF life
just like whiskers while others have favored 1t be-
it used to be the only that one could get
good cook for nothing, condition which has been
somewhat revised by the passing years.
But as general thing, marriage is not matter
of deliberations: it is a spontaneous combustion.
The distinguished statesman correct when
he said that circumstances determined whom one
should take for better for and forced
to believe that with all his armor OF inteectualism
the late Senator Burton might have crumbled into
the fair daughters all of us rested eyes upon
W7E can call to mind dozen or so who could
w have made the grave and solemn law-maker
and philosopher turn handspring; we can recon-
struct several fair faces from out of the misS of
time which would have made the late senator I'M
certain whether he was chairman of the river and
harbor committee or just plain member of the COM
mittee on ventilation and acoustics
The senator said that bachelor was more efficient
than married man, which subjects life to an arctic
appraisal from which all of flesh and blood must
recoil with goose-hesh
He also says that one alone can make home
which is to say that one jack is sui
cient to open pot in poker game.
When Ii comes to the real values we believe 1t is
more important to give bunch of kids thrill on
Christmas morning than 1t is to settle problem of
state and believe is greater dignity to be in
dspensable to family than to be chairman of any
international tribunal

Hour of Flame

DARsONs writes simply and with
charm. There was once" ne
tells us in the opening paragraph OF
his history, neither printed page
nor man nor earth. OF the solar
system, there was only a great sun
soaring through space.
I'm an hour of flame and rend1ng
it sent forth blazing fragments
which cooled into dark and spinning
balls circling about the sun and
shining in it's light. Upon one OF
the smaller of these has developed
all that we live among and are
mountain and ocean, green things
fish, the great animals OF the land,
and, finally. mankind.
THE earth still is turning from
the force of that first thrust. But
it is destined to turn more and more
slowly. 1t is in a sense dying; and
some day long hence, as far in the
future as its beginnings is far In
the past, it may cease to turn upon
it's axis, it may halt in its orbit
about the sun.
ut may come to rest and hang
cold and lifeless in space, perhaps
to fall back into the sun, ending IN
flame, as it began.
This is the story Of that frag-
ment of the sun and Of the adven-
ture that has happened thus lar
upon its flight"
I like this approach to the sub
ject of history. 1t reminds man
that he is part of his universe,
that his story is part Of the story
of the universe.
We have had the economic inter-
probation of history. Such writer's
as Parsons are giving us a biologi-
cal Interpretation, even a cosmical
Interpretation.
They make us realize mans re-
lation to the planets circling the
sun, to the hills and mountains OF
the earth, and to the other crea-
lures which roam the face of the
earth.

Brings Out the Truth

CTILL, history is interesting even
~ if it does leave us a little help
less.
Since every one likes to read the
scandal spread by Suetonius con-
corning the Caesars, why not a liz
tie concerning the great and near
great of our own times?
Who shall say what thrilling dis
cover1es we may make If the boys
really get excited?
There is nothing like temper to
bring out the truth.
Mr.. Shearer got mad, brought suit
against his employers, and we
learned lot that we did not know
about "undercover work" at the
Geneva conference.
Backbiting, develoed by the tariff
row, got Senator Bingham into
trouble.
If Brookhart continues his cru
SADIE, some others may get their
dander up and treat the public to
more unexpected disclosures.
q
Debate has its advantages, even
thought the BolSheviSts and Mus
solini appear unable to see them.
They want action, rather than talk,
if you please.
The latter suppresses newspapers
and applies castor oil.
The former-Joseph Stain speak
ing-tells the opposition to "get in
line, Or"
What the "or" means is illustrated
vividly by the present plight of one
Trotski who can't find much of any
thing to do but study Turkish.

kept a goldfish more than sixteen
years in an ordinary fish bowl. Five
years is good average lifetime for
goldfish.

Il is probably the most difficult to
control. The common cold has
been disturbing mankind for good
many years. The public cries loud

there is any certain method of pre-

So far as numbers were con-

Morris Hillquit received $4,000
votes in 1917, or 21.5 per cent of the
total poll, while the $4,000 votes

j, S, Takes Foolish Stand

MUCH as we may disagree with
WI the policies pursued by Mus
solini and the BolshevistS in this
respect, and much as we may like
to air our opinions concerning them,
it is really none of our business.
We have had sense enough to
take that position with regard to II
Duce.
When 1t comes to the Bolshevists,
however, we continue to maintain
an absurd and futile pose, declin-
ing official recognition, as though
such an exhibition of sheer sulki-
ness did either them or us any good.
England takes saner view of the
situation, with her ministry nego-
tiating, and her parliament approx
ing an agreement for the restoration
of diplomatic relations with Soviet
Russia.
Why shouldn't the United States
do likewise?
What are we gaining by this
stubborn refusal to meet Russia in
an open, candid way?
On the other hand, what are we
not losing?

AIRPORT OF FUTURE
SEEN AS CITY LURE
Landing Field Designer Says Build
ing Trend Will Follow
Plane Hangers.

CLEVELAND (P.-Instead Of the
cities drawing airports nearer their
hearts, Wilfred j. Austin, a builder Of
airplane stations, sees the remote avi-
alton fields pulling sections of the city
their way.
Austin, leading designer Of landing
fields and stations, is basing his new
designs on this belief.
I'm i've or ten years planes Of wing
spread of 100 feet likely will be making
coast to coast nonstop flights" said
Austin. They'll need room. Hangers
must have large clear roof spans with
larger floor areas unobstructed by pill
lars.
1.-THE psychology of safety is an i'm
portant consideration in airplane travel,
and with the larger and safer planes
must be constructed airports that give
passengers greater assurance.
'If the landing speed of planes was
cut to IS miles an hour, passenger air.
ports in the heart of the city would be
more feasible"
One of Austin's new station designs
is for a city, like Cleveland, on water,
land and air routes. A runway extend
ing from lake wharfS, across rail lines
and automobile roadwayS to the airport,
would enable passengers to transfer be-
tween any of the transportation
branches without inconvenience or dis
comfort.
