Rex Brasher's birds are now on exhibit in Explorers Hall, Washington, D. c. The National Geographic Society is sponsor ing the exhibition. The Kent, Conn, painter of North American birds in their natural habitats only recently reclaimed these famous plates from the State of Connecticut. We had them in our midst for several years in which they were kept in safe place which was so safe that nobody in the state save the custodian saw them But MT. Brasher finally got tired last fall and decided that his paintings might just as well see the light of day So he collected them and imme- diately they were in demand. So if you're in Washington now you can see what we folks in Connecticut missed. Lack of a suitable permanent museum in which to hang the paintings and properly display them caused MT. Brasher to remove them from this state. There are 874 separate paintings in the group, representing lifetime of work

not party of violence, and mot opposed to the right of every man to own property" are we to under stand that the international or Communism has changed its prin- ciples. Of course not. To prove this we are not confined to theoretical arguments-but facts.
 The ultimate goal of Communism is the establishment "of world dic- tatorShip of the prolatariat" (Page 34, Program of the Communist h. ternational Workers Library Pub lication, 1936). Stalin himself de- clared that the Communist party would never give up its dictatorship Thus, Communism robS man of all his fundamental human liberties: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion Jewish, Catholic, Protestant), freedom of assemblage and freedom of educa- tion. These exist only in name in the new Soviet constitution. How can they exist when the new Soviet constitution prevents the establish ment of any other party in Russia except Russian Communism and when nothing can be printed with out receiving the previous approval of Communist censorship.
 The fact that the Communist party, which constitutes less than l 1-2 percent of the total Russian population, insists on being the only existent party in Russia is sufficient answer to lip service democracy loving Communist of South Main street, who says he believes in dem- ocracy. Communists use the freedom granted to them as individuals by 8 democratic government in America to denounce the constitution and to work for the overthrow of our American Democratic government. Once in power they would repeat the history of Russia: They would promptly proceed to remove every bit of the democratic freedom which Americans possess. Words, unless backed by facts, mean nothing. Communists talk about democracy when at the same time they are doing everything to work for the establishment of a Communistic dictatorship.
 When the Communist writer says that Communism has set life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as its goal, i've would like to ask him in what world does he live? Where has he been the last (twenty) years?" He must be well paid to attempt this Jack-in-the-box, now-you-See- | it-and nd-now-you-don't tactics.
 AS for people who own private property-the grocer. the butcher or the shoemaker-their property is to be left to them for a while ito win the mover" (Program, p. 49), but all private property must be abolished in the end. (Program, p. 300.
 (Please note: We are in perfect accord with few of the Commun- ist's statements, written in his last letter: "The American people have 8 right to revolution. It is the right of the majority" This, in fact, has been our argument right along. Communists do not constitute a ma jority, and so cannot claim for themselves the unique right to be revolutionary.
 "So, dear (boyl, the right to revo- lution Is not so unique and does not belong pell-melp' to the Communist

Dr. Clayton D. Carus, foreign trade expert of the University of Southern California is nothing if not original. He proposes that in lieu of the money owed us by defaulting foreign nations Uncle Sam contract with them to have ships built for this nation. He thinks that If Italy, France, England would only build us few ships every year in short order their debt to us might be erased. The pro- posal is novel to say the least. Can't you just see it being torn to bits by the foreign diplomats? Can't you just see France, Italy, and Britain building ships for Uncle Sam? If they won't pay their debts, they surely won't build us ships.

covering the regeneration of city govern ment in this country in the first part of this century. He might have written charming books of reminiScence and comment on American history and poli- tics, on our new industrialism and it's problems, on the practice of the law which he loved, and so on. But he re- trained, giving always personal service in public causes, but no authorship.
 So brilliant works that might have been are missing. And yet it may be worth while to have set this example of modest silence, in time when the public is deluged with half-baked books written by people of inferior gifts and experience.

POLITICS BLAMED FOR SLOW NESS IN UNEMPLOYMENT IN-
 SURANCE PAYMENTS.
Waterbury, Conn.

waterbury, conn.
 Jan. 3Oth, 1898. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Workers of Waterbury! Have you paid your Old Age and Unemploy- ment tax? Yes you have, and on time. if not you have been charged a penalty for your negligence.
 Have you been paid promptly for your periods of unemployment? No you have not and the question is you may never be paid what you are entitled to. Do you ever ask yourself the reason why? I now ask myself this question. Why do I not receive better service for my paid taxes? Take for instance I apply for work at some factory or business house, procure that job. I am paid for my service only so long as do my work to the satisfaction of my employer; in other words am paid as long as I give proper service. Did the thought ever dawn on you that you are an employer? We sure are.
 At specified times politicians apply to you and you and me for a job, some to run our city, our state, or our nation. On election day you and you and I decide by our vote who will do this work for us. We are the Boss" Immediately upon taking office the politician takes the posi- tion he is our Boss" and we must BEG for what we have already paid for. Always the politician has fallen down on his job as they have on the payments of our unemployment insurance. Note: When you fail to produce for your employer you are out of a job. All citizens must learn to apply this same rule to our employees (politicians). Remember: We the People are the Boss" Poli- ticians are our servants and it is our duty to impress them of this fact. In conclusion let one judge you and you and me. We are guilty of falling asleep on our job, of neg lect of our civic duty and must take the blame and the cost of our ac- tionS.
 To all who read this letter I beg you to cut it out and mail same to some politician and serve notice that you are his Boss" and he must serve.

Why, I never heard of such an outrage"
 "But, MT. Vice President" timidy protested Jurney, "the Senate is in an awful fix and you are badly needed"
 "You go back there," snapped Garner, land tell them to rule on their own blankety blank rules. You tell them I was elected by the people of the United States and not by the senate. I don't have to rule on their rules.
 "If they want someone to do that at this hour of the night, tell them to get Key Pittman. (president pro tem). He was elected by the senate. Let him rule. Good night-and don't you dare disturb me any more" Tel1-Tale Appointment
 A great deal more hangs on the choice of Bob Jackson's successor as head of the Antitrust Division than merely filling that important post.
 The appointment will be the top-off as to (D whether the President really intends to push 8 crusading trust-busting drive; and (2) whether easy-going Att torney General Homer Cummings continues to lon comfortably in his cabinet seat-or gets out.
 Cummings Is exerting under cover pressure to place . man of his selection in the job. Cold to the anti-monOpoly clamor, he quite accurately views the Antitrust Division vacancy as test of his standing with Roosevelt.
 If the President appoints one of Cummings men, then the att tOrney general can feel that he still has the Presidents con- fidence and that anti-mOnopOy talk need not be taken too seri- Ously. But If the man being recommended by left-wing ad- visers gets the job, 1t will be virtual invitation to Cummings to Scram.
 The left wingers' candidate is James L. Fly, IVA general coun- sel who won the recent smashing victory for IVA before the three judge court in Chattanooga.
 Forty years old, six-feet three and from Texas, Fly is one of the ablest and hardest hitting attor- neys in the government service. His appointment to Jackson's shoes would serve notice that Roosevelt really means crack down on monopoly.
 It would also be Handwriting on the wall" for placid Homer Cummings.

 e. How do the wages of women in the United States compare with those of men?
 A. Almost invariably women'S wages are at lower level than those of men; partly because tradi- tionally their work has been con- cerned with unpaid household tasks which were considered to have a low money value, and partly because they are employed to large extent in season industries. It is. also gen. orally true that the occupations of women differ from those of men, and in manufacturing industries, the differential is justified by the contention that women do light work while men are employed in heavier operations.
