k! Concerning Mr. Ear- Browder.
ut T J AVING been discouraged by a
2y perhaps overzea'ous police
gs force from speaking In Indiana,
ig Earl Browder, one of the almost
:s, , countless candidates tor President,
;'s now threatens suits for false arrest.
2d As A1 Smith says, let's look at
re the facts. Mr. Browder stands for
co communism?stands for all commuan
nism stands for. Therefore he must
look on the Russian government as
an ' the one ideal government, i\ being
a ; the very flower and perfection of
*h | applied communism.
Now, iti Russia any man publicly
advocating doing away with the exi
isting national system and substitut|
ing some other system therefor
would find himself in jail?or even
j in a worse fix?before he could say
Jackovitz RobertsonofFski.
So what I say is that Mr. Browder
shouldn't crave to sue anybody.
Cruelty to Animals.
nc I ATELY a dog was tried before
to L.j a judge for biting a boy. And
another judge was appealed to, that
j he save an elephant condemned to
j die. So some one proves that,
| through many centuries, animals
were accused of high crimes?dogs,
: rats, pigs, oxen, roosters, storks,
also ants, spiders, snakes, grasshoppers,
dolphins, locusts, gadflies,
eels, and, being convicted, were
burned, flayed, hanged, destroyed
by slow torture.
But think of the charges on which
the so-called brutes might condemn
mankind?oJTcnses of which they
rarely or never have been guilty?
malice; slaughter of weaker things
for love of slaughter; deliberate
wastefulness of natural resources;
wanton destruction of natural beauties;
wars without rational cuase.

Newspapers Vs. Spellbinders.
IN MY reportorial youth nearly
I every newspaper, big or little.
was bitterly partisan. We distorted
facts and editorialized in news stor^
ies when dealing with the accursed
opposition. Otherwise we'd have
been traitors to a sacred cause.
These times the average paper,
big or little, prints honest accounts
concerning both sides?their relative
chances as revealed by polls,
their waning or gaining hopes. The
political views of a columnist or a
special contributor may differ from !
the publisher's policy?still he gives
them space.
But the spellbinders go right on
spouting fiction which eve..?

What It Is All About
When from the human heart the ^
:ry goes up "What is it all about?"
it is no true answer to look only
at that part of experience which *
comes to us through certain sensory
organs, and reply: "It is
about atoms and chaos; it i> about r
;he universe of fiery globes mov- I
ng on to impending gloom; it is
about non-com putative algebra,"
but rather it is about a spirit in ^
which truth has its shrine, with
potentialities of self-fulfilments in I
ts response to beauty and right.? I
