These United States

The name United States of America
is really an evolutionary product, a
name which began to develop as soon
as the Colonies banded themselves to-
gather. Some Of the old local coins
refer to the Unity States of Amer
ica." The Declaration Of Independ-
ence asserts that these United Col
onies are, and Of Right ought to be
Free and Independent States" 1t
also speaks Of them as the United
States of America. So do the Arti-
cles Of Confederation and the Consti-
tuition. The authority" by which the
name is used is that of the people, as
delegated to the Continental congress
and the other bodies which shaped the
form Of our government.

Morgan's Historic Raid
Placed Under AnaIvsis

The public opening at Lexington,
Ky, OF the old home of Gen. John
Hunt Morgan, daring Confederate cav
airy leader, serves to recall his spec
tacular dash into Indiana and Ohio
and the controversies that ragged about
him and his comparatively small band
Of followers in the dark days of the
Civil war.
"Morgan's Raid" as the event has
gone down into history, was a chal-
lenge to odds as great as any man
faced In that long-drawn-out conflict,
when the Kentucky general, at the
head of not more than 1900 men,
crossed the Ohio river into states vir-
tually alive with Federal troops. From
Indiana, through combination Of
good tactics, good luck and good fight
ing ability, Morgan lodged and cut
his way through the southern part of
Ohio to the banks Of the Ohio opposite
Virginia, there to be hemmed in and
trapped when a swift and unexpected
rise Of the river prevented him from
crossing, says the Kansas City Star.
It was a feat of daring and skill
perhaps uneQualed in the five years
Of warfare.
In way, those Of the North who
regarded Morgan as a guerrilla leader
were about as nearly right as those
who regarded him as regular Cenfed-
crate cavalryman, subject to the or
ders, rules and regulations Of the high
er Confederate officers and the Rich
mond government. AS a matter of
fact, Morgan was neither. He was
Morgan-neither guerrilla nor regular,
but an Independent force allied to the
Confederacy.

Touchy About Wrinkles

When Queen Elizabeth's wrinkles
waxed deep and many it is reported
that an unfortunate master of the
mint incurred disgrace by too faith,
full shilling, said an article in the
Quarterly Review in October, 1928.
The die was broken and only one
mutilated specimen is now in exist
ence. Her maids of honor took the
hint and were thencefOrward careful
that no fragment Of looking glass
should remain in any room in tn"
palace. In fact the liOn-hearted had
had not heart to look herself in th'
face for the last 20 years of her IF.

BILL PASSED TO
EXILE MILITANTS
Urge Workers to Act
Against This Plot

WASHINGTON, June 6. - The
House of Representatives today pass
ed the vicious Dies bill aimed to- de-
port all foreign-born militant work
ers.
Introduced by Congressman Dies,
of Texas, the bill is officially "di-
rected against Communists who ad-
vocate the overthrow Of government
by force and violence, assaulting of
Government officials, destruction of
property, sabotage and setting up of
system based on Z ommon owner
ship of property"
That the purpose of the bill is to
provide a general dragnet to make
easier the persecution and deporta-
ton of all militant workers is seen
in the fact that the immigration bill
already has provision relating to
the advocacy of force and violence. "
The Committee for the Protection of
Foreign-born, from its office in New
York, called for a relentless fight
against this bill and warned that if
enacted into law would become sin
lister weapon in the hands of the
bosses for the purpose of crushing
strikes, intimidating workers and
smashing militant organizations.
