Congressional Junketing to
Russia Quite a Fad—Must
Be Careful of Tales.
Sy-InternRticra! Labor Naws Service.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 8.—Con
gressional junketeering in Russia as
a vacation pastime may yet come
home to roost tantalizing near the
junketeers, according to a special
wireless from Warsaw to the Phila
delphia Public Ledger.
This account says that a party
of American Relief Administra9tion
Wt>rker£, all of \frhom have had from
nine to nineteen months of service
in Russia, are en route home and that
they purpose to check up on the
stories told at home by the congress
men and senators who have beep giv
ing the home folks the benefits of
their observations in the land of
Lenine.
Those who follow Russian condi
tions have been aware of the char
acter of most of the Russian trips
and they understand fully the close
supervision under which tourists
“see” the land of bolshevikia. As to
this the Ledger account says:
“The congressional visitors, they
say, with virtually only one excep
tion, limited their sufferings and pri
vations to travel routes where inter
national sleeping and dining cars are
available. They report that only
one man, Representative Beady, of
Maine, reached the Volga, and he re
mained at Kazan only two hours, one
hour of which he spent at headquar
ters of the American Relief Admin
istration, where he received a dele
gation with a memorial thanking him
for the $20,000,000 the United
States appropriated. The othe'r hour,
it is whispered, he spent in bazaars
and shops. Despite all that ne ex
pressed an opinion that the Soviet
situation was not being properly stat
ed and further said he had not dis
covered anything which sustained the
stores printed in American “news
papers.
“For that and other reasons the
young Americans who have earned
their knowledge of Russia art pre
paring to buy soap boxes in New York
to tell their own stories of the meth
ods of congressional tours if the oc
casion demands. As these young men
tell it, the congressional tours de luxe
were joyous affairs. The American
officials, they said, were provided with
guides and interpreters by the Soviet
‘Government and did Moscow, Petro
grad and Odessa over a plea/ant
route and were under supervision all
the time.”

Comment and Criticism About Things
Doing In the World
Daugherty goes to San Francisco
and- his publicity department says he
will end the boycott of union labor
by the “open” shoppers of that city.
Presumably Daugherty is fishing to
recover lost friends.
But let us remember that the
Daugherty injunction in the coal in
dustry cost the American people
about a million dollars. Mine com
panies and operators spent about that
much, according to Ellis Searles,
editor of the Mine Workers’ Journal,
for preparation for trials that were
never held. Nobody need imagin'■
that this enormous sum wasn’t pas>
ed oh to. the public. Those who dout
it should look at their last yeah- j
coal bills. ' W
Finally, Mr. Daugherty had to ask
that all the indictments be quashed
and the injunctions dismissed. .Let
his publicity department tell about
that.
‘ Sunkissed Hiram Johnson is home
from Europe. Art Young says he
has come to find out why we have
no bananas.
Hiram—Charles Edward Itussell
used to call him “Howlem”—went
over to Europe to get arguments for
use against the world court. ,
Uipon arrival in New York Hiram
made a speech in which new argu
ments were not noticeable. Yes, we
have no bananas, and we hope Hiram
finds out why. It’s a great problem,
worthy of a great man who wouldn’t
object to being president.
In the New York Times Jan Oude
geest, secretary of the International
Federal of Trade Unions, says Gom-s
pers has failed as a leader. With
such a nose for news M*r. Oudegeest
should have been a Hearst reporter.
The distinguished secretary from
Amsterdam will next discover no
doubt that wages in'America are the
lowest in the world, that American
workers* live in the poorest huts, wear
the poorest clothes and eat the poor
est food and that the American
trade union movement is just about
shot to smithereens.
The man who interviewed Oude
geest said he smoked a mellow pipe. J
He should have added a little detail
as to the brand of the contents of
said pipe.
In the election of Magnus John
son progress scores a great victory.
Reaction has bjeen able to get little
satisfaction out of the election re-,
turns of the labt year. Steadily the
votes show a tjide toward progress.
The important thing about the
Minnesota election is the proof that
it offers that the tide continues to
flow.
However uncertain and foolish
some of the new senators in the next
congress may be on international
issues, the stand-patters are going
to have something to think about on
domestic issues.
Ex-Vice President Marshall says
that if the presidency were on an
8-hour basis he’d like to nave the
night shift because then all the
kickers would be asleep.
The only difficulty is that Mr.
Marshall wouldn’t get the peace he
craves by taking the night shift, be
cause that’s when the crooks are all
iwake.
Uncle Sam Tells How Worker
May Dodge the Bad Investments
By International Labor News Service.
Washington, Aug. 8.—-How the
worker can “spot” bad investments
is told by the Treasury Department
in a new booklet on “How Other
People Get Ahead.” Twelve danger
signs by which the small investor
can detect fraud and risk are, given
by the department as follows :j
1. MJining stock. The best look
ing mine in the world may prove a
“white elephant.” Mining is a very
expensive undertaking and the/risks
are unusually great. There is a
saying that “a mine is a. hole where
fools dump their money,”
There are many good mining in
vestments, of course, but this branch
of the investment market is generally
not for those who work for and de
pend upon wages.
2. Oil stock. Drilling for oil is
costly. The hazards are great. Oil
investments are speculative and in a
class with mining investments.
3. In the wake of every important
discovery or invention there comes a
host of schemes — “airplanes,”*
“radio,” wireless.” The promoters
of these may have only the best of
intentions, but frequently their en
thusiasm is about all they have to
sell. Look before you leap.
4. Investments in “real- estate”
situated in some distant place is
sometimes as dangerous as mining
stock. People have been known to
buy swamps advertised as “sea
shore frontage.” Know what you
are buyihg before you invest.
5. “Land development,” schemes
frequently do not pan out. At best
it is a long time before any money
comes in from sales. Investments
in “new companies” that are going
to “sell by mail” should be generally
avoided.
6. Patent rights and processes dis
tribution. It is rarely the patentee
who makes the money.
7. “New manufacturing methods”
should always be closely checked
and investigated.
8. An investment requiring a
quick decision is often a fake. If
there isn’t'sufficient time to “sleep
over it,” something is probably
wrong.
9. “Special inducements” in cash
discounts or stock bonuses urging
you to be one of the first to invest
are suspicious symptoms.
10. “Tips” alleged to land you “on
the ground floor” are rarely to be
taken. Those Who are “on the ground
2 lemons, 1 gallon of water. Put
the sugar, juice and rind of lemons
into a bowl. Cut the rhubarb into
short pieces and put into the water,
which must be boiling. Tlren simmer
for five minutes, pour over the sugar
and lemons, leave till cold. Stir well
strain and bottle.
Stuffed Celery.—Fill the'hollows
of the short stalks with cream
cheese, chopped nuts and a bit of
mayonnaise to moisten. If the stalks
are filled carefully they may be eaten
from the fingers as one does plain
celery.
Fruit Sandwiches.—Finely chop a
mixture of candied cherries, pine
apple, figs and plums. Moisten with
lemon juice and spread on very thin
slices of buttered bread; cover with
another buttered slice.
Date Pudding.—\^ash one pack
. age of dates and cut fine. Put one
heaping teaspoon of soda over the
. dates and over this pour one cup of
boiling water. Let stand while you
mix other ingredients. Cream one
cup sugar with one tablespoon of
butter, add one well-beaten egg and
one and one-quarter cups flour sifted
with one-quarter_ teaspoon baking
powder. Add date mixture and one
cup df nuts cut fine, preferably wal
nuts. Bake slowly and serve with
any good pudding sauce or whipped
cream. This makeS enough to serve
Bix persons.
floor” will monopolize the oppor
tunity.
11. “Playing the stock market on
margin” and all other forms of spec
ulation are decidedly not for the
small investor. Beware of the
“bucket shop.” If you buy stocks
outright for investment do so through
a member of a legitimate exchange.
12. Stock in “mail order com
panies” being organized with prom
ises based on what others have done
rarely turn out well.
FRIEND OF KU KLUX
JUMPS ON HERALD
Doesn’t Know Difference Be

and Editorial.
Did you ever call in a horse doctor
to treat your child who had whoop
ing cough? Did you ever see a
lyoman use shoe bracking for face
powder? Would you employ a blind
man to point out the beauties of a
mountain sunset to the tourists who
had come to view the wonders of na
ture? •
No, you didn’t and you wouldn’t,
Wfe have received a letter cuss
ing us out for publishing an article
about the Ku Klux KJan.
That article, as published in The
Herald, was clipped from The Eliza
beth City Independent, and full
credit to The Independent was given.
It was also printed in the column
headed, "From the Pens of Others,”
showing at a glance that the article
was not the utterances of The Her
ald, but the opinion of The Eliza
beth Independent.
Yet this wise-acre who talks about
our ignorance, goes right on and
writes as if The Herald had ex
pressed these views on the Ku Klux
Klan.
We have expressed no views on
the Ku Klux Klan.
Wfr. do run a free press, in its' full
est sense. Wc. have a column head
ed “From the Pens of Others,” and
“Letters to the Editor.” These col
umns are open to all pepole who
want to express their own opinions,
or have re-published what other edi

The Herald has never condemned
the Ku Klux Klan, nor has it ever
praised it. •
The Herald has never condemned
the Ku Klux Klan, because this pa
per believes in the right of citizens
to organize.
The Herald has never praised the
Klan, because it has never been in
formed of anything the Klan has
done to merit praise.
The Herald has published the
statements of’ other papers both
praising and condemning the Klan
—and will do so again, just when
ever any of our readers request us
to republish something that has ap
pealed to them.
We are herewith publishing the
letter of our irate friend, and ex
pect an apology from him when the
fact finally gojes home to him that
The Herald has not condemned the
Klan, but simply published from an

“Although I anj not a member of

bership of the Ku Klux Klan is com
posed of the b.est citizens of North
Carolina; and if they want to keep
their membership secret it is their
business.
“You say it is almost impossible
to convict a klansman; it is so be
cause klansmen'&re not guilty of the
crimes they are charged with. There
never was a good movement started
but what it was criticized by some
few narrow minded people. All men
want to say something smart, but it
is a precious few who ever say any
thing that will last.
“The people who are criticizing
the khan are the people* who know
absolutely notaing about it.
It is like this:
“ ‘Absolute knowledge have I
none, but my auntie’s washerwom
an’s sister’s son heard a policeman
on his beat, say to a loafer in the
street, that he had a letter just last
week, hand written in finest Greek,
from a Chinese coolie in Timbuctoo,
who said that a negro in Cuba knew
of a colored man in a Texas town
who got it straight from a circus
clown, that a man in Klondike heard
the news from a crowd of South
American Jews about somebody in
Borneo, who heard it from a man
who claimed to know, whose sister
in-law will undertake to prove that
her seventh husband’s sister’s niece,
had stated in a nicely printed piece,
that she had a son who had a friend
who knew when the Pope would
preach a Gospel sermon from the
2nd and 3rd verses of First Tim

GOOD PROGRAM
AT ALHAMBRA
A very unusual action and one
which proves the heart of the Fa
mous Players organization through
put the country was the order clos
...„ their play houses Friday after
noon out of respect at the death of
the President. The Alhambra and
the Imperial of Charlotte belong to
this organization. The class of
shows offered the people who attend
the play houses is of high order and
instructive.
Ben Reed and his troupe at the Al
hambra have drawn larg crowds at
all performances. Lupo and Cold
well in their musical act are excep
tionally good. Master Ralph Reed,
the youngest comedian on the Amer
ican stage, displays real talent and
his father and mother appear in the
same performance with him. On ac
count of the North Carolina law he
can only appear at matinees and the
first show of the evening. Hia sing
ing, dancing and black face acting
are superb for a child of only five
years, and when you see and hear
him it will be to appreciate the work
of one who is destined to prove his
genius.
