AN INTEHESTING CAREER. Cyms TownstMi-.l Uni'ly was h fiuurw initfjui? ami inteyrstins ;i a-1 his 1rnth is ; loss to th fields where h lal'ored w!ih proiiuitiif vijeor i tht List. As jiricst vt tho Episcopal church, he h;il h tire lies in the uiining ca'ch tow ns of the f.ir Wp.-v ;uu1 in Kffth Avenue. At both places !.e preached I ho same dootrine, in tho sa m? manner ami lu both was pcpular and pucressfu!. As a youth h was Kraduateti from the Naval Academy nil was an officer in tho navy. In the Spanish war le TAas an officer in the army. Met ween these commissions he was an 'tigmepr for bi railways in the W est and conn ihuid valuable service and ability in overcoming natural d:f!'id!ie?. Ho was minister in many plates, occupying a conimandins; position in each race he located. H was a prodieious worker. When ho begaa writing bcoks ho Font them ou; in astonishin?: quantitjefi. Few of his books may 'nope to win permanent place in lit erasruro. but. they pleased many thousands when published. His passing cienns the los.a to tho world cf an interesting, vigorous man. who wrung success from whatever position fate and circumstance placed him. THE FARMER IS ALL RIGHT. Porcetims peon'' are easily scared. Assistant Postmaster (general MLakesleo may be of that sort. Recently he sort out to I'OO.'Un) farmers, of the land a questionnaire, the purjX'So beinj: to secure a reflection of t'no eeling of fanners anil th measure of content or discontent preaLent. One-fourth of the people answered and among .thiat one-fourth there were numerous (omp'ainers. Argung from that, P.lakoslee foresees a grave meaai e to production and rt-edfu! supplies of food. - But what of the otlvr i:0,0o4 farmers wljo did r-f replv? How do they fVvi? Are they not the large majority? If no complaint .is made by what rule, is complaint supplied? Mayhap they are contented and enlarging production. Everywhere there Is increased energy, life, eager-ji-ss to get ahead, tho groates. demonstration of genius to secure methods for increasing production. tho state vsa5 ever seen. There will be food for the multitude. The fTTraer is ail right. He was during the war and he n-m be during rjtace. Suppose part of one-fourth of he farmv-M do complain, what of it? That percentage of growlers may be found in any other line of

THE PREVALENCE OF MISREPRESENTATION. How much easier and idc&s;uiter lifft would bt if i v er.vi)ody"3 word could bo rolled upon implicitly nt all ilmeH! It would simplify tho whol ooelal Rtructure and mako our great Industrial problem a.s faclla as ft sit in in elementary arithmetic. Hero me tho coal opcraiorii cotning forward with the asitcrtion that, if they pay tho 1 t per cent Increase in miners' wagcH allowed under tho lirms of the recent Htrlk settlement, i hey will ntt eain one per cent on their capital actually invented. Vet Mr. McAdoo, who one would think is in a position to know, said not long ago that their profits lately have been enormous nnd oulragooutt. Where is the truth, not the technical, prearranged, lawyer truth, but the real truth? Is it morally true that, if the coal Industry la to Burvtve. in the bituminous fleltls. this 14 per cent "wa increase.- muet be buddled upon the overburdened consumer? We have no means of knowing and w- accuae no one of lying, and yet. every day we see proof that men regard extra dollars as of mere value to them thau Justice and honor. It is a strange and ead misconception of the rncanli.g of success.

CITIZEN RADICALS RESPONSIBLE. It is gratifying to know that the plea of citizenship Is not to be a safeguard to men in Indiana who h ive been arrested because they are members of the Communist party or other organizations whose purpose is the overthrow of cur government, by violence, if necessary. Fays the Indianapolis Star. The Federal government can not prosecute its citizens for advocatingKuch a disloyal course. Their cases rnutst come before the courts of the state, if the Mate in w-hieh they reside haa had the forethought to provide for such offenses. Some states hava not c-onetdered the possibility of such disloyalty among their Voting population and have not legislated In regard to It. Indiana has a law under which citizen offenders can be held and tried. Ircbably a majority of the citlens so held are men who have not possessed their citizenship long, iuii the fact that they have taken out thtir second naturalization papers does n.d alone prove that they were honest or sincere In the beginning. If doc T prove that they did not seek ciLUeuthlp for their own

J security while pursuing a treacherous course toward

o-ir institutions. That procedure )s possible and in some casow is known to have happened. .lust previous to the rails against anarchist societies In New York, there was a rush of foreigners, recognized as radicals, to the courts to seek naturalization. They were pot, cf course, accepted. They had defajned and conspired against the integrity of our institutions but were anxious to have their protection, It is more than likely that a considerable proportion of the Communists and membets of other radical organizations are really to ignorant and ill-informed about our government., or any government, to understand what a serious offense they are committing when they onspire to undermine the institutions which have given refuse to theui. and are merely the tools and rupes of villainous leaders. They deserve a meaisure of sympathy and consideration if they can prove that they were unaware of the purposes of these leadera, but they should not escape because of their ignor.ince. They should at least be taught lhat it is a serious matter to conspire against our government. And if they are full-fledged citizens their punishment should net be. mild.
