THE RED M EX ACE. If the r.ns d:?patche3 bo true, ten men out of the t. t;,i f.f 00,000 striking shopman were mad enough to h-l.-ve th.it by wrecking trains, destroying life, ki'.l.n? Innocent men. women and children, they could win an advantage for themselves. Over at Chlcafo the rederal agent point with part!or.;V)! pride to the fact that they rounded ur an f-n?lre Convention of revolutionaries In a neighboring M!-h!srai county and when they had all .r.e delegate in Jail, thr numbered, exactly seventeen. Th'- povontfen, say th authorities, were plotting : overthrow the government by violence. They dreamed. these very few who represent in the as®atc not a hundred each, of tearing down ffie Stars and Stripe and raising the rod flag of revolution In order to establish the communistic theories of Lenlne and of Trotzky. Those -who tremble and have visions of ?uch a revolution In thi country can take cne look at he-o two incidents and by count of noses reamre then-selves that this country will not soon have a Bolshevik problem that cannot and will not be :-olved by a few policemen. The problem is the problem of the mad dog turned loose in a community. It 13 the problem of nuntlng down madmen run amuck. It is tho prob'en only of finding the few leprous spots and isolating them. Just a.-! the lepers have been isolated by thephysiciana. It is not a problem of great and growing forces or sentiment, not a problem of combating a'theory that i destructive of Americanism, The theory find ro response In thi country and no followers of sufficient numbers to make even a formidable rhowing. Compare the communist convention which la lodged in a small Jill with the hundred and ten millions of Americans who go to make up this country and you have some Idea of the limited number affected by this Russian Idea, the mall headway nadc by the dlFcipIrs of discontent and the believers :n revolutionary methods. The property senso is strongly developed in America, too strongly entrenched to be cast aside or supplanted by a hope of communism. No man who owns an equity In "a cottage, a few sticks of furniture, a flivver or a motorcycle will take a chance of losing them for the doubtful adantap:'5 of sharing such things when owned in common with all others. This country Is made up of men and women whose ancestors came here in order to obtain for themj.rlves th means of comfort and of happiness. The thought of acquiring property and ownership cf home was linked and tied to the hope of liberty of conscience and of self government. That hope, inherited and cherished for a century and a half, will not go down before any imported ideas of an Industrial system In which no one owns anything and In which no personal reward can follow effort, sacrifice or thrift. Overthrowing government by violence is too remote to be terrifying. It has Just enough crazed believers to make It dangerous to portions of the community, just aa small pox. or escaped lunatlcfl or depraved criminals menace small areas at times. Beyond that, this country has no red menace. And as detection and punishment more swiftly follow the commission of overt acts of violence and sabotage, the menace will be wiped out altogether. A drastic punishment of the confessed wreckers will discourage any others whose desperate lack of knowledge may lead them to thoughts of such TT. et hot's.
ALMOST FORGOTTEN. A dispatch from Holland, announcing an unimportant Incident, serves to bring to mind the fact that there lives In exile in that country the man whore twisted mind and more twisted heart deluged the world with tragedy, brought norrow to untold million? and left civilization almost on the verge of bankruptcy. That master criminal of ail ages is aa nearly forgotten as the promises made to four millions of American boys when they marched away to overthrow tyranny. The cable in question says that "William Hohenloliern. once the proud emperor of a great nation and ambitious to rile the world, is to marry again. Just why any woman and thi3 one Is described as rich and aristocratic should wish to join her life with that of the man who brought "frightfulness." submarino murder and slaughter of Innocents to the world muft remain a mystery. At any rate it is not important. Age of the parties kindly takes care of rny serious consequences from such a union. But It ia important to remember tho treatment .ffrded th! man who aroused the world of hate. Before the war ended and when tho League of Nations was being drafted at Versailles, one of the Ir.sU'tent demands of all nations and especially of th:s nation, wa that guilt should be made personal .mi that kir.?3 and autocrat? should be educated to the fart that they can not escape the penalty for their cr'.mrs Under the treaty which this courtry rejected, the I:rrr emperor would have been t'ied by an International court as would any man who commits crime. Instetd. a syndicate of American newspapers is paying him a half mlllicr. dollars fo- his autor icsrra f hy. Ir.-de.vl cf punishment. h is rwarde1, permitted to live a. he pleases in isolated splendor, permitted to tili ir.r.irr.e Iiis former followers by mad ehernes i.f restoring monarchy, permitted to still fend out his lmperialis-.i." poison to disturb the people he misled ts they Ftrurtfle to regain some of the things they .ost in following hi leadership. Possibly the country can afford to make no protest. Hevenee rcr pas and hate is the rr.ot useless of emotions, l'cv.biy his punishment i-e sumclent and even the payment of good American dollars for the memoir rf a criminal may b overlooked. Hut a 5 'org as he livej, ra long as hi memory ex1
i-ts to remind civilization of what he threaten:!, to recall to this country its fear? and its dangers, this ration cannot afford to forget the men who saved Its f.arf from h!.? desecration, cannot afford to refuse to p;.y its deb's to those it s-nt to overthrow him.
PRUDENT CONDUCT. Teacher in the local schIs are told by an expert that prudent conduct is almo? ns Important as sterling character as a basis for .cucce?s in that profession. He poin? to the fact that gossip and venomous tongues will twist indiscretions into crimes and thit thfir influence with pupil' may be wrecked by one thoughtlers act. His warning to teachers might ro with equal emphasis to every othr person l.a the world, for there can Le no greater responsibility laid upon the teacher than 1 laid upon the rest of thr community. It may be put down as certain tl.u whatever course of conduct will wreck the usefulness of a teacher will injure, at least, theva? who pursue other vocations In life. It is undoubtedly tru that more tragedy is caused by trifles than by great catastrophe.'. It Is also true that those who commit indLscretionj thoughtlessly are probably potential offenders against thoe conventions which are later suggested by gossips. Tho necessity for the warning also does contain an Indictment against the vast majority of people, for it accuses them of being more prone to evil than good, and to seize upon the smallest opportunity to destroy th happiness, or the reputation of others. There is in It the suggestion that men and women believe easily the silly tales of the gossip and are ever read to give lodgement in their minds to storie3 of evil. There is no assurance from any expert on education or upon life that as long as conscience la clear. no o n o need fear the results of any act and that there ex!?ts such a broad sympathy and toleration lhat people will ieek to find an innocent explanation for any situation until absolute guilt Is proven. Only in courts of law are. the innocent held guiltless until their offense ia proven beyond a doubt. In other relations of life, men and women, and especially women, are convicted by circumstances. The thoughtless smile is exaggerated Into perpetual flirtation. The flippant comment becomes the symptom of a foul mind. One unconsidered act becomes the foundation for a double life. Possibly some other educational expert will tell the teachers before they end their gathering that the world needs more eympathy, less suspicion, more defenders and fewer &rcuers and that tfielr big opportunity is to plant In the minds of children the thought that it is better to be kind than to be cruel. lha: there Is more goodness than evil Jn the world and more good men than bad ones.
THE POISON DRINK. Wood alcohol is now killing 260 and blinding 44 Americans a year. This is the report by the Russell Sage Foundation's national committee for prevention of blindness. The figures, however, cover only the known cases. The unknown victims of wood alcohol number many more. "Many relatives and friends of victims try to conceal the real cause of death, and in some cases succeed," says the committee's secretary, Mrs. Winifred Hathaway. Obviously, she is right. For more than half of the 130 fatal cases of wood alcohol poisoning, reported to her committee in the first six months this year, were in three states New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Smuggling hooch is common along the seacoasts. As you get further inland, the liquor keeps getting harder to secure which means worse quality. In Pennsylvania, the known deaths due to wood alcohol last year totaled 61. Figuring on a population basis, wood alcohol deaths in the states combined would be around 800 a year. Including unreported cases, wood alcohol's death toll probably exceeds 1,500 a year. The national government stands convicted of criminal negligence, in not taking real steps to prevent the use of wood alcohol as a beverage. Any high-grade chemist could find a way. Before manufacturers were permitted to super-clarify wood alcohol "for use In the arts and allied professions." any one with a sense of smell could detect wood alcohol a yard away. Now it is refined until, in adulterated form, it smells like old Kentucky rye. Only a chemist can detect it. Why not color all wood alcohol black or restore its natural odor? The Chinese would solve the problem by beheading any one selllng wood alcohol for a beverage. That, of course. Is not humane enough for us. We Americans prefer to spare the bootlegger and kill the victim. Uncle Sam should look into this matter. Life has to be made fool-proof for a certain percent of the population. lo A BIGGER CHANCE. The state rather admired the determination with which Governor McCray announced a few weeks ago that coal would be mined in Indiana, and even his rather bunding effort to produce coal by throwing a thousand soldiers on suard over 52 r.-orkera excited no protest. Now he has a bigger chance to protect the public if he will be as emphatic in his protests against profiteering on the part of those who haveicoal to sell and who are producing coal. .Tho' coal operators have flatly refused to be bound by a price set by the coal emergency committee as .ir.e which would give them a fair profit under their agreement with the miners. That refusal is more than an Indication that the mine owners expect the public to pay for every day which the miners were idle and that they expect to collect at once through :he scarcity cf coal. There may be no law which will permit the governor to confiscate coal for whh extortionate prices are asked. He may find no level way cf protecting the little home owner from being blackmailed through his necessities and the fear of freezing. But he can take step3 right now to fee that a situation is not created next April which will duplicate the present one and can list himself among the Indiana immortals If he has tho way planned for :eal production of coal r.txt summer, nor merely by calling of oldiers to suppress possible riots. " The public has a rirht to the necessities of life bt prices which are within reach. No groups in any essential Industry should be allowed to profit by their own disregard for'public rights. In the present situation the governor can do quite aJ great a public service as he did when b. nt that regiment to his adventure in stat r.ining by pointing the finger of accusation to t ry operator who is trying to hold up the public. Perhaps public opinion will then operate quite as effectively as either soldiers or the written law.

YOUR HEALTH
By Dr. R. S Copeland
I used to havo a teacher who was .always thundering: "Order is heaven's first law!" We never knew what he meant by this command, admonition or warning whatever It was. Personally, I always thought It was some kinu of a threat of the impending wrath of outraged. Providence. It must bo that the importance of crder is something particularly observed by teachers, because the other day a teacher said to me: "Havo you ever written on the value of orderliness and system? HappLnesf depends on it." I have been thinkln? abcut this conversation. The more I think about it, the more I believe th-? teacher is right. A well-ordered life, systematic performance of duty, having your belongings in order, neatness of person and clothing, unfailing devotion to duty all these things have their effect on happiness and health. Many throbbing headaches, red eyes, hushed faces and spoiled evenings can be traced back to disordered dresser drawers. Were you .ver in a hurry to get somewhere and couldn't fiud a clean necktie, the right pair of shoes or a misplaced necklace? A great many attacks of apoplexy have been precipitated by the undue anger of a business man who could not find an Important and necessary paper in his cluttered-up desk or afe. Most of us live busy lives. Some of us are over-busy attempting to do too much. In almost every such life a rearrangement of the daily program will give abundance, of leisure. Indeed, it cannot be said
that rearrangement Is nee-ied, because this word implies there ha been some fort of "arrangement," when, as a matter of fact, there has been no arrangement at all. It is perfectly amazing what an amount of completed work can be turned out by one who systematizes his undertakings. An "efflciency expert" and I am r.ot over-keen about "efflciency experts" would revolutionize the activities of many a bustling business man who is first in the office in the morning and last to leave at night. Order, re-Tularity, system would enable an over-active man to play a game of golf every day, to get to dinner on time, and to enjoy several evening entertainments every week. I can hear the sneers of many business men: "You can't conduct big business that way!" All right! If you can't be taugf.t to run a big business enterprise on system and within jeasonabH hour:;, you are not fit for the job! You may get cn for a time, but you will break down as sure as fate. If you can't order your own life you are nor competent to direct tr.c affairs of other people. It makes me sid to see great men f-f affairs wearing themselves out needlessly. The world nerete thes men. But they arc doomed to short careers unless they care for their bodies. Unless they can f-ystematlze their efforts, and get time for exercise in this way. they must do le work. They can't spend all their days far into the night in the ofiVe and expect to live out the normal expectancy of efficient effort. My old teacher Is right "Order is heaven's first law!"
