EMMA IS HOMESICK. Emma Goldman, the riproaring feniale, whose red doctrine set the l S. by the cars, and who waa banished to Russia in disgrace, writes back from that God-Iorsaken country that she is homesick and misses America. The news interests us strangely. "'e had imagined that when Kmma set foot in Russia she would yodel deliriously, if she can yodel. We thought that Mr. I-enine and Mr. TroUky would rush to meet her. greeting her in true bolshevik free loce style. It

J smed to us that Emma might have all sorts of honors

heaped upon her by the beloved Russian proletariat aud be the recipient of banquets and receptions galore.

Instead Emma found the nothing doing sign hung up. Nobody paid any attention to her. She has to scratch lor her living like tbe'other hens. She misses America as she cats the husks of Russia. Perhaps she has seen the error of her ways. At least let us hope so, for the wrinkled old hell-raiser certainly needed the lesson she got. Uy the time she has lived in that dear Russia for several years, she may come to her senses, but even then no one over here want; her back.

THE FUTILITY OF PRIMARIES. T.h Indiana state republican convention is an excellent example of the vagaries of politics and the uselessness of primaries. Gen. Wood carried Indiana at the rritnary by a snug plurality and should have had the majority of the delegate vcte. The convention decided differently, however, and instructed four delegates for Hood and four for Johnson. Wayne county, a negligible factor in the proceedings, wanted to mak? a political trade for vctes for a state office and is responsible for the result, and yet they wonder why people arc sick of politics and politicians.

THE YOUNG MAN'S CHANCE. The superior advantages for the young man in this treat country of opportunity has been exemplified in the lives of thousands of men whose names arc now on the honor rolls of the nation and of thousands cf ethers who have passed away and have left on historic pases records of vast achievements from the humblctt beginnings. These facts have been reiterated with increasing emphasis through the years, and the lives of the great men have been embalmed in histcry with this luminous fact as a moral. In the pa&t few years, confronted as the country has been with problems of the greatest moment aud in the present era of criticism, social and industrial .unrest-and the confusing anti-Americanism that, like a noxious weed, has grown up from our soil, this great truth seems to have been obscured and in many quarters actually denied. We are being told now that the United States is rot the boasted home of opportunity, and there arc nctually weak-Vneed natives who join the disturbing alien cry that this country by its social and civil laws L" repressive rather than helpful toward the ambitious Ed aspirations of its oung men. The foundation for thjs change in feeling is largely the fulminations of the Clappoited ones or the cry of the disloyal. ' There has been no lessening of the eld truth that so long has been the honor and glory of the nation, as contrasted with other countries where conditions have t off all chance for the man who desired to break Jj rough the barrier of class and achieve a place for himself in the great activities of life.

PENSIONS, FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYES. After many jears cf agitation a bill instituting a scheme for retiring civil service employes of the government on pension has passed the senate and is vx pec ted to be adopted by the house. It provides for retirement and annuities after 1.1 years of service when the employe has reached the age of "0. The maximum nnnuity is to be J720 and the minimum $1S0. which will hardly be regarded as excessive. The maximum is for persons who have served the government 30 years and have attained the $1,200 grade of salary. Six per cent is taken off for each tbjee years' reduction in the term of service until those are reached who have served between 15 ard IS years. Their compensation will be $1S0 annually for life. The government is to pay helf this amount, the remainder being derived from a tax cf two and one-half per cent on the salaries of all persons eligible for retirement. . The large proportion of aged persons on the rolls at Washington may not be generally realized. One list prepared by the bureau of efficiency gives 4.693 over the age of 70. The pension bureau alrne has 6 clerks past SO and the average age of allits employes is oS. One employe, aged 92, has been on the payroll for 7 2 years. Each year, according to law, the heads of all federal departments report a list of employes who are helow a fair standard of efficiency but netting is done about it. Naturally the chiefs hesitate lo throw out

Jthore who have performed long and faithful serice.

I The retirement and pension scheme seems to nffcr the

only solution of this difficulty.

NEVER ABOVE THE LAW. In the early days of aviation, which was not long .fA flyer was a hero, to be accorded the applause cf the populace and the respect cf the authorities. Now -f b becoming a suspicious character, in the eyes of the pce, to judge from several recent items in the news of the day, and must be tempted to wonder at times what ,'has happened to his halo. The other day in Los Angeles an aviator was arretted on a charge of reckless driving just as if he had been an ordinary automobilist exceeding the speed limit 'on terra Anna or neglecting to sound his horn at crossings. .Four-aviators who established a record by : flying- from, Mineola, N. Y., to Boston, a distance of 238 miles, in-90 minutes, and in landing at Revere Beach were promptly arrested because they had failed to procure, a permit. A southern game warden picked up a wild bird, that had fallen dead in his front yard. A

IT MAY HELP SOME. A friend sends us the following screed and asks whether or not. it is worth printing? We submit to our readers that, there is homely old philosophy in it to be printed prominently. Here it is: What's the use of kicking 'cause the prices arc so high? And complainin' 'cause we can't have apple jack and rie? Thars a reason brother, listen if you'll only do your part, And keep on lending help to the guy that has faint heart. And each one keep on passing just the best he's got along. And instid of whining, whistle just a good old fashioned song You'll still have old man trouble with you, but his stinger will not hurt; v If you'll git up in the mornin' with a wlll to hit the dirt.

GERMANY'S wails might fall on more sympathetic ears did we not know her so well.

AS THE DATE of the convention approaches, candidates are less certain that what they heard was the people calling. Many are called, but only one is chosen.

Tn the Ruhr region they are literally having a high old time with the ouija board oui being the French and Ja the German a spirited, but hardly spiritual, combination. Js

Summer Reasons For This Sedan Tripttx Springs Insure Riding Comfort on All Reads. ; Overland Four-Door Sedan Insure Comfort In All Weather THE SUPERIORITY of the Sedan for autumn, winter and spring is even more emphasized in the wide range of summer motoring. It's thick permanent top is a cooler shield from boiling sun. Breezes are freely admitted or entirely excluded at wiH. Rain, dust and sudden cold, are shut out at your command by heavy plate glass which never cuts off your vision or leaves you feeling "Shut in." Now the Overland Sedan adds to all this convertible convenience, the riding comfort of Triplex Springs, and extraordinary light weight economy.
