Every liberal with humanitarian
Ideals would like to see Russia
! triumph over opposition and build
1 a great nation However despot-
istn and tryanny under a dictator-

czar

nized are royalists now Instead of
subjects under a czar does not les-
sea the crime against humanity

Reports apparently true have
come out of Russia during the past
I few days that twenty persons in-
t( cluding Prince Paul Dolgorukor
have been shot to death because of
a political opinions and insubordina-
k s LIM to the Soviet government
I1
4 Reports too e that many more
1
Lave been killed because they were
agitating against the payment Of
taxes Still others were killed be-
cause they encouraged peasanu3 to
burn the portraits of Lenin These
I reports may be exaggerated and ev-
I try liberal will hope they are
Included in these reports is one
of the most revolting crimes since
the bloody days of the czar Prince
Dolgorukavo a refugee In Paris
had according to a Moscow paper
made several attempts to enter
Russia under disguise hoping to
visit his estate near Kursk s here
his family bad bidden Veasure
He met a Russian In Parts who
offered to obtain false passports to
enter Russia volunteering to ac-
company him to chow no treachery
wu intended Reaching Kursk the
treasure was found and divided
with the guide Four hour5 later
the Prince was arrested the guide
being a trusted Soviet agent who
Ltd been sent to Paris to lure the
Prince into a trap The Prince was
Later shot to death
If true such barbarism cannot be
countenanced by those frindly to
Russia In this or any other country
- The radicals and liberals of other
nations have sacrificed too inuen In
the atruggle to free the world of
tyriints and their oppresslou to abet
it in Russia because it happens to
be the blood of the former oppres-
sors that la beirg sacritcen
Liberty Is no respecter of pergolas
and a crime committed against a
hated enemy of the proletariat gov-
ernment is no leas a crime than
eine committed against the deferise-
less victims of a Rasmutin
Methods used by the czar to still
the enemies of his monstrous re-
gime despised by the liberty loving
i People of all the world cannot be
: inaugurated again with the sane
tion of those who have the best of
wiehes for Ruud& and Its people
They will resent It everywhere
Too much praise cannot be given
Lindbergh for his refusal to C0132-
mercialize his popularity So far
he has shown a very rare character
! by turning dos n offers hich
14 would make him fabulously rich
Without hesitancy he refused to
accept a propoaai made to raise
32Do00q4i for a trust fund for him-
self and mother We would per-
haps Lave to go a Ivng way before
we could tnd another American
taught to bt:!r 'hat money is the
mark of success who would do as
Lindbergh did
It wouldn't do to let anyone know
that we were growing weary of the
bouors and clattering being show-
ered on Lindbergh Its too soon
sifter the me when you were ex-
pected to taire your head every
time a bunch of Boy Scouts went
down the street with a nag
But whenever people so far lose
their common sense as they did in
New York a few days ago to pay
from $5LJO to Sluliti a floor in office
buildings to view the parade it's
time to brush up the padded cells
Gne explanation of why cottcc
has suffered such a slump might be
found in the fact that American
women consumed in hosiery silk
undies end other wearing apparel
$442873o9 worth of raw silk im-
ported from Japan last year
Made into the enished product it
would bring around $10000tio00

purpose of the document when we
show that it is misspelled or that
there are literary or statistical
mistakes in it provided the mis-
takes are quite irrelevant to the
main end It is destructive of any
theory of the inspiration of the
Bible to claim that every word and
letter which it contains is infallibly
ccrrect
That claim carried out logically
or consistently would do one of
two things: it would destroy the
Bible itself in the faith of just-
minded men and honest-minded in-
terpreters or it would put men on
a system of twisting and twirling
metaphorical statements
It would lead to discriminations
which would make men special
theorists and result in erroneous
Judgment on their part Indeed it
has resulted in just that

TEKEL"
Hark ye money mongers of this
earth
Ye chiefs of every clan and tribe
Whose invalorous deeds brought
you money and fame
To which the governments of the
world ascribe
Your vagrant bards your epics
sing
Of conquests of your feebler foes
You take for serfs the poor and
weak
Slaves are the protent of your
regime's close
To this broad land a people came:
Heart sick at sight of martial
gore
To round a realm free of the sword
Free from the strife of Europe's
shore
under the stars and stripes has
grown a race
Sired by fathers of sturdy line:
Conceived by mothers who taught
them peace
And to let the arts of war decline
Yet within this grand and glorious
land
The spirit of conquerors have at-
tained They hectic rebels have taken
from labor's hand
The major part of what labor's
band has gained
Leaving him not quite enough
To feed to c)nth e and house his
own:
While they in mansions on the
bluff
Live while labor works they
roarn
These masters of bnance and in-
dustry so named
Have replaced the old world's
Lords and Kings
From our money they an oligarchy
framed
And a few men own and control the
thing
But listen you grabbers of earth
give us your ear:
Of flagrant reign your throne shall
fall—
In the balance bangs your royal
fate
"Tekel" is written on the wall

OLD AGE
Editor Leader: The world is
keeping silent about old age as the
writer sees it carefree or careless
Inasmuch As we call ourselves the
Christian nation it behooves us
also to take care of old age Of
course this initiative must be un-
dertaken by the people themselves
It is not a reform but the duty of
every citizen of the land regard-
less of what station In life a Man
occupies
Our politicians never think about
such a thing and never will Hence
it is lett to the thinking men and
women to take that step Every
hamlet and community should get
busy before the coming national
election takes place and cause
such an issue to be voted on nation-
wide Now the writer wishes to leave
the question open to our friends in
the Forum and certainly wishes to
hear some good suggestions in it4t-
erence to the same
Sincerely yours

and try it could all be changed the
next election
The capitalists will soon bold an-
other convention and put the man
out for president that they want to
help them rob the workers And
the laborers will have no more to
say who it shall be than a hog has
Then they will begin to thunder
their lies at labor through the cap-
italist press and labor will believe
them as usual and will go to the
polls and seal their own doom
again for four more years then
when that time is Out thPy will be
ready to believe more lies and so
It goes

'WOULD ORGANIZE
Editor Leader: Some are talk-
ing organization and many are
thinking of organizing Let's use
few words and to the point I fa-
vor organizing at once We want
some good man to lead um one
we have confidence In We do not
want a man that endornea the
Democratic or Republican party
We want a working man to had
us We are forced to organize
We have asked the Democratic and
Republican parties to protect and
mete justice to the people these
twenty or twenty-five years and
instead of helping the working
class they do all they can to keep
front helping them Let some re-
liable man take the lead and call
a state conventioLt a5king each
county In the state to send two
three or five delegates to the con-
vention for the purpose of endors-
ing a code of principles that will
mete justice to the people
Now boys It you think we should
organize SAY SO! That is the
only salvation for the working man
Speak out and let us know what
you favor If the farmers want to
organize I will fall in line and do
all I can to help carry the move
to victory No time to lose 1r
we wait a for years longer we
never will free ourselves with the

A SPECIAL SESSIOY
Editor Leader: Flood damage
in the :lississippi valley is now
estimated by reliable authorities at
more than $3o00o0000 Resources
cf the Red Cross are taxed to the
limit to meet the demands for
temporary relief of the sufferers
In the face of vigorous criticism
for not calling an extra session of
congress to meet the situation on a
broad scale President Coolidge re-
mains deaf to all appeals It seems
like another instance of Nero fid-
dling The oxerflowing surplus in the
United States treasury forming the
basis of another tax reduction plan
on the eve of the next presidential
election is guarded under lock and
key when part of it is sadly needed
now to alleviate seffering of vic-
tims of the eood and to cope with
pestilence sure to follow subsidence
of the Ilississippl's raging waters
because the White House economist
opposes "private philanthropy by
the government" Mr Coolidge
seems to be utterly incapable of
reall2ing that this disastrous flood
is a national calamity Money in
large sums is needed at once for
humanitarian purposes and the re-
habilitation of tens of thousands
ha have lost their all
This is no time for an extilbition
of parsimony on the part of the ad-
ministration Cheese-paring meth-
ods must not prevail in times like
the present An extra session of
congress should be convened with-
out further delay
ROBERT HOOD
THE LIND OF IANDS
It matters not the name or pl -e
Rough rocks or Eden flower
graced
Or ice-hound coast or desert sands
That country is the land of lands
Where hearts are bold and men
dare strain
Toward the goal they may not gain
But knowing they shall blaze the
way
For others in some after day
That way tho' winding thro' the
mire
Shall broaden ever rising higher
'Til from the mount of Common
Good
The promised land of brotherhood
Seen in the morning's golden glow
Lies in eternal peace below
Utopian dream that distant day
For robber barons guard the way
Beside them stands w ith lifted
eyes
71i1 churchman in Religions guise
Sternly he cries (that old decree):
"Ile subject to the powers that be
Ordained of God and cursed by thew
Who wander in forbidden ways"
