Flooding all of the being with peace like a

And filling the garden with waves of delight,

One Explanation
(THER governments are based
• on the thery that rights, in
fluences. and activities exist
which ft is 'beyond their pro-
vince to control. Soviet leaders
cannot comprehend this Idea be-
cause it plays no part, either in
their scheme, of tilings, or In
their conception of the scheme
that has always prevailed.
Whether with regard to Com-
munism in Russia, or capitalism
outside, their vision is of peo-
ple daneng to the tune of some
super power. '
They know that, nothing can
be done in Russia without offi-
cial authority, or permission
and they assume that ni thing
can be done anywhere else.
When the Pope, the Primate
of England, the Americah Jew-
ish Congress, the Lutheran'Con-
vention and many other heads,
or governing bodies of religious
sects join in a general protest.
Soviet leaders cannot attribute
It to anything but a single and
dominant influence.
So, they tell themselves and
their followers that It is only
capitalism making' war medi-
cine— the preliminary move in
a great conspiracy against Rus-

suit.
The lords of trade and poll
ties have not ordered the
churches to speak.
It is not the economic situa-
tion that has Inspired Catholic,
and Protestant, Jew and Gentile
to make common cause.
In some quarters there may
be fear that- Russia will hurt
"DTisIness KeCauae of her control
over certain commodities, and
her ability to dump them on the
market at unreasonably low
prices.
That fear, however, Is play-
ing no part in these calls to
prayer and declarations of sym-
pathy.
. What people believe has al-
ways exercised a stupendous in-
fluence over human events, and
tho it may be waning, with re-
gard to orthodox dogma, the
right to believe is still regard-
ed as one of the most essential
rights.
That right, the Soviet Union
would destroy, not by the slow
process of education, or the
gradual development of a sub-
stitute philosophy, but by law.
Where Will It Lead?
IT is not the attack on relig-
1 ion that startles us, but the
attack on religious liberty.
Such an attack, however, is
but a logical climax to Com-
munism.
Communism is the antithesis
of liberty in every form, leav-
ing no room for individualism,
personal rights, free speech,
free conscience, of anything
else which goes with self-ex-
pression.
Communism presupposes the
extinction of personal Initiative
and identity. It cannot pormit
the survival of private, or vol-
. untary activities. Its very life
depends on the annihilation of
anything and everything which
does not exist by virtu of state
control. t
The Russia leaders are abso-
lutely consistent in their efforts
to exterminate the home, fam-
ily and religion. It is essential
not only to their war on capi-
talism, but the survival of their
cred. / , i. ■
That is what differentiates
Communism from all other sys-
ten-s; what creates a cleavage
that goes to the bedrock of civ-
ilization; what leaves a gulf
which it seems impossible for
human ingenuity to bridge, and
which causes thoughtful men
to wonder whether there is any
way out save thru conflict.
ness, or the threat of Kaiserism
in the late war?
After generations f. strife
and bloodshed, humanity has
succeeded in establishing relig-
ious Mberty thruout the civilized
world.
Now that a government Ig-
nores, that right, is humanity
justified in protesting?
Soviet leaders say no, but can
they make it stick, and If not,
what then?
Soviet Russia has chosen to
challenge not only capitalism,
but most of the traditions, prin-
ciples and Ideals for which
white civilization stands.
Whether that is her right,
she must take the risk.
The issue canhot be avoided
b dismissing all the protests as
amounting to little more than
a strategic move of capitalistic
governments.
ItSovtet leaders Had not
been blinded by their own phil-
osophy, they would know bet-
ter:
The trouble with them is that

the question was asked what
language do Americans speak.
I may not be quoting it
exactly but that was the im-
port of the question anyway.

Read and Kellogg; and taking
a peep into rhetoric, oh! back
rTHE man who carved 100 words on a grain
I of rice probably was trying to start a
1 -,eereal story.
House-Flies
rTHE common house-fly is just one of a num-
I her of flies which frequent houses In. sum-
mer. Dr. Clark points out.
"From tim to time during the summer
you are annoyed by a sharp bite, and on
looking at the bitten spot you see the culprit,
which seems to be an ordinary house-fly,” he
says. ,
"But It is not a house-fly. If you watch a
house-fly lapping up Its food or water you will
see that its mouth parts are soft and ex-
panded at the end and are adapted for im-
bibing liquids.
"The mouth parts of this biting fly form
a sharp beak which is adapted to piercing the
skin of animals and sucking blood. It almost
invariably bites thru clothing and seems to
specialize on soksend stockings. Animals
it bites mostly on’the’1 lower portion of the
legs. •
"The biting house-fly Is really very differ-
ent from the house fly. It is somewhat stout-
er. and is usually slightly larger. When at
rest it carries its wing at a greater angle. its
slender but efficient beak of which the tip is
visible serves to distinguish it at once.
"Many different kinds of files frequent out
houses besides the common house-fly. One nt
"the commones of thse,is the lesser house-fly
which is smaller, than the house-fly and has
a more pointed body. *
"This fly has a curious habit of flying in
an angular course beneath a chandelier in the
center of a room.
"Then there is the stable-fly, which is al-
most exactly like the house-fly. Another com-
mon fly in houses, especially in cool, damp
cellars. is the large and hairy blue-bottle.”
’ LOADON
• &
PHREE years ago there was
I formed the American Asso- I
elation for Old Age Security,
which Included such men as
Ethelbert Slewart, the U: S
commissioner of labor statis-
tics; Bishop Francis J. McCon-
nell of the Methodist Church, I
and Father John A. Ryan, an
originator of minimum wage
laws. As a result of an effective
campaign there are now old age
pension laws in nine states,
some effective and some not
as in cases where pensions and
poor-houses are optional with
counties and counties prefer
poorhouses.
The labor committee will
consider a fairly wide range of
bills. There’s an actual federal-
state pension bill Introduced by
Congressman Sirovich of New
York and another by McKeown
of Oklahoma, the Sirovich bill
corresponding rather closely
with that presented in the Sen-
ate by Dili of Washington.

They dared to tell-the truth about prohi-

To do that is easy enough for the average

Ington authorities every Monday morning or so,
that the rum runners have been conquered.
What the hree captains testified ,was that
it was impossible for the coast guard,'even

Of course, that is more wicked wet evi-
dence. But it happens to be true. What is
the administration going to do about it? Or,
—rather, what can the administraion dq about it?
Want Quick Action
IT is not that at all. tho
I might lead to the same
------
Hoover approach to peace agreements. I
if there is opposition in the Senate, it is
due largely to a misunderstanding of the pro-
posal and the failure of the administration to
make clear that a "security" pact is not con-
templated.
The distinietion is vital. There is every
reason why the United States should not en-
tangle itself in an advance agreement to go
to war to enforce any treaty. But there is
every reason why the United States should
sizn a treaty now agreeing to consult with
ether governments for the stabilization of
peace whenever a war threat arises.
That is precisely what we have already -
done in the case of the Pacific pact, signed
at the Washington arms conference The
same thing should be done in relation to ’the
Aglantic.
If the American delegation is afraid of
Renate opposition, why not take for the At-
lantie treaty the exact provision of the Pacific
treaty already ratified by the Senate? Under
that provision the signatory powers agree “to
eommunieate with oneranother fully and frank-
ly in order to arrive at an understanding as
to the most efficient measures to be taken
sointly or separately to meet the exigencies
of a particular situation.” . ■ - .
Writing from London on thejneed of such
* pact to save the conference, William Philip.
Simms, correspondent of this newspaper, re-
ports: * .
"Unless President Hoover gives the cue.
the American delegation may remain fatally
cautious. Needless timidity here may cost the
American taxpayer hundreds of millions if not
Milions of dollars to build and maintain new
warships."

soft-voiced little man. who once
could make welters and heavies
and light heavies rock before
his blow.
He's coin? on SO now—and
you can’t pack the old punch
at 58.
Something like 35 years have
swept by since he belonged to
the period of the great fight-
ers— Bob Fitzsimmons, Jeff-
ries, Sharkey, McCoy and
Choynski. Then they called
him "the Barbados demon."
for he had come from the West
Indies. Time plays a lot of
tricks on men—for there’s lit-
tie of "the demon" suggested
today.
The old-timers tell me that,
in person and out of the ring,
he was a good-natured, chuck-
ling chap even then. Don’t
ask me. I wasn’t there when it
happened.
THE Londen naval conference is in a bad
- way and the United States has a chance
tn save it, according to the correspondents on
the spot Their idea is that the jam of con-
flicting high tonnage demands can be blasted,
and the negotiations allowed to flow toward
peaceful agreement, only by the force of a
political pact desired by France. They add
that American timidity is about the only thing
that prevents such a political treaty to aid
the naval treaty.
Much a statement of the London confer-
ence impasse is doubtless an over-simplfica.
tiom. There are other issues of a technical
naval nature, like the Japanese higher ratio
demands and the American unwillingness to
follow the British in battleship abolition, which
can not be conjured away by a political pact.
Nevertheless, it is abundantly dear that
tho . political pact proposition is important,
and that it can help solve many of the eon-

PANAMA EXPOSITION
(N Feb. 20, 1915, the Pan-
• ama-Pacific International
Exposition opened at San
Francisco for the purpose of
celebrating the construction
and opening of the Panama
Canal.1t is estimated the ex-
pense of the exposition, much
of which was borne by the
state of California, exceeded
150,000,000.
Exquisite exhibition palaces,
designed by the nation's fore-
most architects, were built and
the grounds of the exposition
laid out by skillful landscape
architects who used millions of
flowers for decorative pur-
poses in the courts and gar-
dens.
Congress appropriated $500,-
000 for the exhibits of the
departments in Washington
and later contributed an addi-
tional $500,000 for a building
in which to show the develop-
ment and progress of the
government.
Forty-four states and terri-
tories made provisions for par-
ticipating in the exposition,
and many of these erected
state buildings. Thirty-six for-
eign nations accepted the in-
vitation of the United States

What people believe
has always exercised a

tho it may be waning,
tvith regard to orthodox
dogma, the right to be-
lieve is still regarded as
^one of the most essential
rights. . ’ •
AS he goes around polishing
A brass in "the garden" to-
day, he still chuckles as he re-
lates how he met Sam Lang-
ford—the black heavyweight
whose name struck fear into
the hearts of the white fight-
ers. You just couldn't get them
to enter the ring with him.
And Joe fought a 15-round
draw. To this day, he's rather
pleased with himself—a welter
who took on the fearful heavy
and made him like it. After
that, he didn’t need fear any
of them—no indeed!
"I was afraid of but one man
In all my ring days," he recalls.
"He was an Irishman named
Creedon, who hit the scales
for 185 pounds. And T was 40
pounds under that. But I took
him on, anyway. My wife warn-
ed me. She said I was getting
way out of my class. Well-I
had him out in a IJftle , more
thnn a minute?’ '
The old fellow leaned back
in a chair and sighed— sighs
as hespeaks of Billy Smith, the
welf, and of Tommy Ryan
and a lot of the old-timers.
Yes, he's been a dishwasher, an
elevator man and a teacher of
boxing. But ‘that's gone now.
He's just a brass polisher now
—and there he is.

Only his close friends knew
"in the days when" that Jack
John son, the heavyweight

behind him -and he went to

take out his trusty old cello
and scratch a mean how. Like
most of the people of his race,
music was in his blood.
Well, like so many who
have been at the top of the
sporting ladder, when he was
through—he was through. A
couple of years ago, reports
would trickle down from Har-

thereabout doing one thing or
another. It was said that most
of his fortune had long since
been spent.
And then, not' so many
months ago, Jack went back to
music in a big way. He organ-

took up the baton and away
he went. Walking in the mid-

WASHINGTON— For the first
• time in 14 years Congress
is formally considering propos-
als for old age pensions, there-
by taking up an issue which 1
gained rapidly increasing im,
portance in state legislatures.
In January, 1916, Congress-
man Meyer London, the New
York Socialist, obtained hear-
ings before the House labor
committee for his bill provid-
ing a commission to study prob
lems of social insurance and old
age. Subsequently the late Con-
gressman Victor Berger of Mil-
waukee. another Socialist, un-
dertook to keep the issue alive.
Both London and Berger are.
dead, but on Feb. 20 and 21 the
same committee will hold hear-
ings on several old age bills,
introduced by both Republicans
and Democrats and all looking
forward to federal co-operation
in saving the aged and infirm
from starvation.
