TROTZKY COMES BACK. Just when the rest of the world was ; getting ready to watch operations in Rus- , sin without aid from Trotzky, word comes from the land of the soviet to the effect that the exile is back, with another job and with much of the same power that formerly marked him as a leader in Russsia. It is rather difficult to get enough facts from Russia to acertain just what Trotz ky s return will mean. Some writers who have visited Russia picture him as the typical communist in an extreme form, ' while other writers say hr has recogniz ed the defects in communism and wants to restore the country to a basis of modi fied capitalism. The Greenville. 8. C., News thinks “it is significant that Trotzkv returns to a place of power in thf Russian govern ment at a time when the government is modifying its policies. The Russian gov ernment is now said to have given official recognition to a wealthy land-owning peasant class: to be considering the re turn of all factories to their owners: to have restored apartment hosues in Mos cow to their owners with tax exemptions to make possible needed repairs, and to have intimated that the era of confisca tion is past. Commerce and Finance, a careful ob server of economic affairs abroad, says' it is probable that one of the members , of the Russian * triumvirate who w;(s | most hostile to Trotzky, Gregory Zino vieff, will now himself be exiled in turn. “Zinovieff is the advocate of the baldest i of communistic economic theories—Trotz- 1 k.v believes in modifying those theories.” 1 The News rightly argues that “if the 1 return of Trotzky means that the Rus- ] siau soviet has at last realized that Com- , muuism will not work a a practical i theory of government, and that private ] capital is a necessary tool to rogress. there is hope for an early return to a sane economic program of progress and prosperity in northern Europe. FEW UNDERSTOOD THE LAW. It is apparent that few persons in this county, at least, understood just what they were voting for in the last election when they cast their ballots for the amendment to the constitution allowing a reduction of 50 per cent, in the value of , homes on which mortgages are held. It seems now that the change does not ap ply to homes which are being bought through buildiug and loan associations, and this fact makes the law useless to the vast majority of home owners in Con cord. ■the law was not understood by the tnalisters of this county and their work was held up untitl a ruling was given by the attorney general of the fftate. The attorney general ruled that no reduction is to ,be allowed dn any. home unleas the mortgage hejd oil! the Imme is listed for tajpitsi.'-' The buUfling and loan* ussocia ti«p> 'as ,]* ruji&vjlo ( uq£ Mint their mort gages’ Iqt '*■ texts \sm\ their stock is non-' taxable.''.. .> 1 The mas ywho is paying for bis home through, a j building and loan association geht no benefit from the law.

' ! J ■ 1 —II -—L. I 1 1 IT’S THE RIGHT KIND OP EDUCA TION THAT COUNTS. < ' Clarence Darrow, the noted lawyer, who is said to have saved one hundred . and four famous killers from the grave, ' ' thinks education is the one solution for crime. He says: “Most crimes of violence begin with children who nre reared in poor districts of the big cities and who have no educa tion or bringing up. If the public schools would take up the question of fitting everyone of them for some occu pation instead of giving them a routine of education for which many are Dot fit ted and would thus fit children for life and its problems, I think most crime would disappear.” , Education is all right, but it must be i the right .kind. A highly trained mind js j not necessarily a constructive one un less it has been trained morally. IVe would change Mr. Harrow's panacea by t adding the word “moral” before educa tion. Moral education will do more than anything else to reduce crime, we think. *' NOT DUMB. Morganton News-Herald. In the news dispatches which went from Morganton this week t> daily papers about the unfortunate affair at the State School for the Deaf here we have noted that a number of the papers understood to make what news editors evidently thought was a correction in the name of the institution, referring to it frequently ns the "School for the Deaf and Dumb.” A number of years ago the Legislature of North Carolina, by special act, left off the word “Dumb” in the title of the school, and there was a special significance in that act tttnt the everage citizen, who is unfamiliar with the work of the school, has not yet comprehended. It is a common error to refer to the school as one for the deaf and dumb and a few people commit the grave blunder of calling the pupils there “dummies.” The mistake is forgivable only when it is made unintentionally and without knowledge of its meaning. Very few people are actually dumb. Dumbness signifies lack of the power of speech—the dictionary defines it as being mute or silent. A number of years ago teachers of the deaf fouud that the only reason the average deaf person does uot talk is that he or she has never heard sound. In possibly ninety-nine oases out of a hundred the organs of speech in the deaf child are perfect—he needs only to be trained to use them, and the training is more difficult because of the deficiency ill hearing. In later years the work of teaching the deaf has been directed along this line and with amazing results. Visitors to the school here are impressed with what has been accomplished. They come away filled with wonder that the children have been taught not only to talk but even to sing and that their ability to read lips in the , formation of words goes far in making up for their inability to hear. If any of the newspaper men who put in the "correction" to the name of the school could hear a group of children re peat in concert just one of the many selections they have memorized more perfectly than many of us who can hear, they would never make the mis take again of referring to them ns “dumb.” The Lie About . the Press Being “Bought.” R. It. Clark in Greensboro News. Ir is observed with passing interest that the "great daily press" has been , bought up some more. The revelation 1 comes from Dr. Broughton, preaching before the Southern Baptist convention in Memphis and telling of the con spiracy to “turn the Sabbath into a day i of money-making and godless frolic." It is a company of men in New York who have bought up practically the theater business of the country and, as it has been revealed to Dr. Broughton, “they have set deliberately to work with all the money needed to capture our legis- i laturcs. our city and town governments, to operate their theaters on the Sab bath day. They have as their aids the great daily press, which fatten by their enormous advertisements.” All of which is nothing more than evidence of the sad fact that some of the chosen have no more compunctions of conscience, seemingly. in repeating slanderous stories, which they could not establish if put to the test, than ordinary laymen: and who feel commis sioned to charge all who may differ with them with being corrupt, with selling principle for a consideration. Federal Monopoly Probes. The I’gthfinder. The government has had 50 of the country's leading furniture manufactur ers indicted at Chicago on charges of combining to boost prices and dictate to the trade. The complaint says the com bine sets prices three times as great; as a just profit warrants. This is the first of a series of test cases contemplated by the department of justice. It is now scrutinizing other trhde organizations that have taken on the appearance of being monopolies, j | Prominent dmong these are the gasoline j and fertilizer industries. A proposed sugar merger is also meriting atten tion. Both Attorney General Sargent and Secretary of Agriculture Jardine have been asked to prevent the absorption of Mqrris and Co. by the Armour packing interests. The Farmers’ National Coun cil complains that the merger will give the Armour Company complete control of meat prices, The late Secretary Wal lace filed a complatnt against the Armour Company.

How are you getting on with him ?” June. “Oh, very well. The first time he called he took Tootsie, my poodle, in his lap.

Wonder what on earth she ever expects to do with ’em?” Mrs. Al: “Why, don’t you know? She’s sweet on that “better brush” agent.

How can you prove it?” “Look at your coat. I left an egg there when I got up.” , While a shooting party was out for a day's sport a raw young sprotsman was observed taking aim at a pheasant run ning along the ground. A6 it is un sportsmanlike to shoot a bird while it is on the ground, a companion shouted: “Hi, there, never shoot a running bird!” “What do you take me for. you idiot?” came the perly.

I’ve lived with me old woman for forty years, and she ain’t been able to kill me yit.” The Rural Church Problem. Pittsburgh Sun. Notwithstanding the farmers' acquisi tion of automobiles and the construction of good roads, which one would suppose would increase the attendance at and Interest in rural churches by making it easier to be present at the services, the country churches are for the most part having a hard time of it. The young people of the community are demanding better discourses and other Improvements in the service, which are not forthcom ing because of the congregations’ lack of adequate financial resources. The result is that many a country church is standing still or disintegrating. One way of dealing with the situation is to consolidate the rural churches in much the same way as rural schools are being consolidated. With the Improved means of transportation noVF available there is no necessity for hat ing as many small ehtiTches as 2when the farmers had to depend on horse and buggy to take them to meeting. But even more important than the con solidation of small and financially weak churches of the same denomination is the desirability of merging churches of various sympathetic denominations. Ru ral communities have suffered becaue of the attempts of the different sects to maintain their own churches and pas tors. Half a dozen churches have been established in a community that was only large enough to maintain one as it should be conducted. Often these sects differ from each other only slight ly. If they should unite some of the difficulties of the rural churches could be obviated. Fiction Lovers for June, a Maefadden publication, contains one of the famous short-story masterpieces of the past “The False Gems” by De Maupassant. Y’ou will be intrigued by this initial story that we have selected, for in our esti mation it is unsurpassable. "The Cow boy and the Girt” is a breezy western yarn by an author who knows how to evoke thrills and laughter. “The Mean est Man in Town” is another of the in imitable Obie stories. “When a Girl's Atone' 'is the concluding number of the doings of New York’s Gat Set by Er nest Pascal “Under Seal” by Cleveland Moffot adds one more chapter to this su perb mystery tale. There is also a funny stor yof the prize ring “How Do Y'ou Get That Way?" We had rather fish than read. Then we learn what we thing instead of what some other man thinks. The ramo set keeps some at home and so does the onion set, but the society set doesn't. WHY SKINNY FOLKS TAKE COD UVER OIL i Gain 5 Pounds ip 30 Days or Get Your Money Back.

When 1 called on Wednesday there waa a letter with the West Kenslngtod postmark tfpon it, and my name scrawled across the envelope lh a handwriting which looked like S barbed-wire railing. The contents were as fellows: — "Enmore Park, W. “Sir—l have duly received your note. In which you claim to en dorse my views, although I am not aware that they are dependent upon endorsement either from yon or anyone else. Yon have ventur ed to use the word ‘speculation’ with regard to my statement upon, the subject of Darwinism, and I would caH your attention to the tact that such a word tn such a connection Is offensive to a degree. The context convinces me, howev er, that you have’ sinned rather through Ignorance and tactlessness than through malice, so I am con tent to. pass the mptter by. Yon quote an Isolated sentence from my lecture,., and appear to have some difficulty in understanding it. 1 should have thought that only a sub-human Intelligence could have failed to grasp the point, but If it really needs amplification 1 shall consent to see you at the hour named, tboqgh visits and visitors of every gprt are exceeding dis tasteful to Ita. As to your sugges tion that l^piky l modify my opinion. 1 would hfibft you know that it Is not my bahi| to do so after a delib erate expression of my mature views. YoufWill kindly show the envelope of -this letter to my man, Austin, when you call, as he has to tqke every precaution to shield me from this intrusive rascals who call themselves ‘journalists.* "Yours faithfully, “GEORGE EDWARD CHALLEN GER.” > , This was the letter that 1 read aloud to Tarp Henry, who had come down early to hear the result of my venture. HU only remark was, “Tire’s some new stuff, cutl cura or something, which is bettor than arbica.” Some people have Bucb extraordinary notions of humor. It was nearly half-past ten be fore 1 had received my message, but a taxicab took me round in good time for my appointment. It was an Imposing porticoed house at which we stopped, and the heav. Ily-curtained windows gave every Indication r . alth upon the part of this torn. I ®* e Professor. The door was opened by an odd, swarthy, dried-up person of uncer tain age. wish a dirk pilot jacket and brown leather gaiters. I found afterwards that fie was the chauf feur. who filled the gap* left by a succession of fugitive butlers. He looked me pg and down with a searching light blue eye. “Expected TV be asked. “An appointmeht" “Got your Utter?" 1 produced the envelope. “Right!” He seemed to be a per son of few words. Following him down the passage I was suddenly interrupted by • small woman, who stepped out from what proved to be the dining-room door. Sbe was s bright, vibadous. dark-eyed lady, more French than English In her type. “One mbtdent.” Sbe said. “Too can wait, Austin. Step tn here, sir. May I ask U you have mat my husband before?" "No. madam. I have not bad the honor.” “Thau I apologize to yoo in advance. 1 must tell you that he la a perfectly impossible per son—absolutely Impossible. If you are forewarned you will be the more ready to make allowances.'' “It IS most ednilderata of you, ' madam.'* “Get qulcktf opt of th« room It be seems inclined to be violent, r i Don't will to argue .with him.

A more honest man never lived, pon’t wait any longer or he may suspect It yon find him dangerous—really . dangerous—ring the bell and hold | him off until 1 come. Even at hto worst I can usually control him." J With these encouraging words 1 the lady handed me over to the taciturn Austin, who had waited like a bronse statne of discretion j during onr short interview, and 1 < was conducted to the end ot the j passage. There was a tap at a; door, a bull’s bellow from within, j and 1 was face to tace with tha Professor. fee sat In a rotating chair be-| hind a broad table, which was cov ered with books, maps, and dia grams. As I entered, hie seat! spun round to faco me. Hto ap pearance made me gasp. 1 waa ! prepared for something strange, but not for so overpowering a per sodality as Hto appearance made me peep, which took one’s breath away—his size and his imposing presence. His head was enormous, the larg est 1 have ever seen upon a human being. 1 am sure that his top-hat. had I ventured to don It, wpuld have slipped over me entire ly and rested on my shoulders. He had the face and beard which I associate with an Assyrian bull; the former florid, the ltrtter so black as almost to have a suspi cion of blue, spade-shaped and rippling down over bis chest. The hair was peculiar, plastered down In front in a long, curving wtop over hto massive forehead. The eyes were blue-gray under great black tufts, very clear, very criti cal, and very masterful. A huge spread of shoulders and a chest like a barrel were the other parts of him which appeared above the . table, save {or two enormons hands covered with long black , hair. This and a bellowing, roar- < ing, rumbling voice made tip my first impression ot the notorious , Professor Challenger. “Wellt" said he, with a most In-! solent stare. “What now?” 1 must keep up tcy deception far at least a little time longer, other . wise here was evidently an end ot i the Interview. i "You were good enough to give , me an appointment, sir,*’ said I, humbly producing his envelope. He took my letter from hto desk and told it out before him. “Oh. you are the young person who cannot understand plain Eng . Ugh, are you? My general con , elusions yod are good enough to r approve, as 1 understand T" , “Entirely, sir—entirely!” 1 was I very emphatic. i “Dear met That strengthens I my position very much, does It i not? Your age and appearance make your support doubly vain i able. Well, at least you ara better , than that herd of swine in Vienna, r who#* gregarious grunt is, how ever, not more offensive than the j Isolated effort ot the British hog." He glared at me as the present i representative ot the beast, t “They seem to have behaved . abominably," said 1. i "1 assure you that 1 can tight my ) own battles, and that 1 have no * possible need of your sympstby. , Put me alone, sir, and with my back to the walL G.
