Socialism as administered by the Bolsheviks was to have ushered in a mil- lenium wherein no one was to have any more worldly goods than anyone else. Working hours were to be reduced to a minimum and the joy of Sk carefree existence was tb be increased to a maximum. The first part of the,program has been prac tically accomplished. There is economic equality because five years of pillage, murder and de struction have reduced everyone to the same dead-level of want and starvation. It is esti mated between ten and Iilteen million men, women, children and babies will have perished in Russia this winter from starvation and exposure. These souls, dying like flies after the first heavy frost, are the poor and downtrodden proletariat whom Lenin and company were to usher into an economic heaven. Instead he has sent them through a hell of misery before death relieved them of their sufferings. . The startling success of the first part of the program ha3 strangely set back the accomplish ment of the rest. Universal want has compelled an increase in the daily hours of work. Four teen to sixteen hours are now required and sol diers are used whenever necessary to coerce the workers into working such long hours. As time goes on and the story of true condi tions in Russia unfolds, the world more and more realizes what a tragic failure socialism has been. It all boils down to the socialists' refusal to look facts in the face and realize that what is everybody's business is nobody's business; that the most workable form of society is one in which each individual is responsible for his own economic welfare. ' In a society based on private ownership one employer may fail, his employes will scarcely feel any hardship provided they have protected themselves with savings, and the rest of the nation wont know he has failed as far as any economic consequences are concerned- In Russia the Bolshevik state has been the employer. It failed, after prohibiting its em ployes from having any savings, and one hun dred and sixty million people, the entire Russian population, are suffering, and ten to fifteen millions are dying from starvation and exposure. Socialism resolves itself into a system where by a comparatively few intellectuals impose their theories on everyone else, and do all the thinking for the multitude. Consequently when the theo ries break down the multitude suffers and die3 by the millions, having no means of self protec tion. Under capitalism the multitude thinks for itself and each one through his savings is able to protect himself. , ' ' The one breeds dependency and economic slavery to a state. The other develops inde pendent thinking and ability and produces ecr nomic freedom for the individual. Oh Man!

TODAY'S TALK By Georg Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" MY TRIBUTE TO A BOG The dumb earth has within Its lap many kingdoms as dumb as itself. But its variousness contains no kingdom so close to the soul of us who think and believe as that of the kingdom of the dog. The other day a boy was deserted by his own mother. For why I know not If I did know I could not understand. But in this case society decreed that this boy was "bad," and so he was brought to the bar of justice and placed under the ear of a judge. With the boy was a dog. It was his only friend. It lapped the hand of the boy as the judge pronounced sentence which was that the boy should be sent to a house of some kind where they "looked after bad boys." The boy was lead away the dog following. Before the boy had left the room, however, the dog was taken away from him. Immedi ately the young master broke into tears, and the dog echoed his grief. The watchers were touched. And so was the judge. So much so that he gave orders that the dog should go with the boy the first instance, so the newspaper account related, that a dog had been al lowed to take sentence with one it loved and to whom it gave all the devotion which it had. There are many instances of dogs dying of broken" hearts. And they hive been known to go through every privation to serve their masters. The intelligence of the dog Is of a very high order. And once Its belief in its master is anchored, nothing seems able to shake it3 loyalty. ' ; The dog's courage is of a quality much finer than mere brute courage. a I shall never cease to marvel at the dog's instincts. And there are few human beings so expert at sizing up and judging human char acter. I have seen a dog suffering with the greatest pain and yet so grateful for the kind treatment given it that it lapped the hand of its caretaker and bore up patiently because it understood. Human beings will at unfortunate times strike and abuse a baby but universally do dogs protect children. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle says that there will be dog3 in Heaven. I hope he is right about it. I hope there will be dogs in the here after that I go to. . f T 1 H00"RAY. For V sow ' J"7vtf 'cor' ;W Be ) I. Oppose V willis J.

It is to be n sort or universal affair. There are so many international conferences now that something of this kind is necessary. The trouble with universal languages in the past has been that nobody could under stand them not even the ones who invented them. This fault, we are promised, will be overcome by the new medium of thought. But it is going to be hard on the people of this country who now have to understand not only 40 or 50 va rieties of melting-pot language that come from abroad, but the following languages as well: Flapper.

Sir Arthur has had an Interesting life. He was born in Edinburg, Scot land on May 22. 1859, the eldest son of an artist. He was educated at Stonyhurst, Edinburg university, spe cializing in medicine. He practiced for eight years and then gave up his active duties to tour the Arctic reg ions, west coast of Africa and other territory. Then he devoted most of his time to writing. He is probably best known internationaly through his Sherlock Holmes stories. His medical training, his interest In criminology nd most pleasant relations with the famous Scotland Yard and his skill as a writer produced what are recognized as the most brilliant detective stories. Of late years he has been a leading believer in spiritualism. After Dinner Tricks her ankles recently, "the pain brought teas to her eyes."

The Jumping Hat A stiff hat (derby or straw) refuses to stay in position when the performer pulls it down over his eyes. Every time he pulls It down, the hat jumps to the back of his head as soon as it Is released. The hat is pulled down by tie thumb and second fingers, as shown in Figure . The forefinger is held bent inward against the titumb. As the thumb and second finger release their grip, the forefinger is snapped upward against tha underside of the hat brim. The sudden action shoots the hat to the back of the head. With a little practice, the movement of the forefinger can be timed so nicely that it will not be noticed, especially If the head is kept in mo tion. Every one will look for robber bands, springs, or other mechanical contrivances in the hat. Covurioh. lilt, by Public ledger Company Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Age Today A woman policeman for the sole purpose of apprehending mashers, was an addition to tne local police force which Chief Gormon thought was bad ly needed.

The Woman of Poise once a rarity, is now to be observed and admired upon every hand. In deed, no other woman can flourish long in the midst of this modern, com plicated life. In the home, In busi ness, in social life, the woman who is serene and confident wins, while the nervous, flustered individual wastes ner talents and gets nowhere. Of course, poise is dependent mainly on sound health and steady nerves. Tf you fee that you are being kept back in this way, why not turn to that great woman's remedy, Lydia E.
