TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT
SHORTAGE THREATENED
Tho telephone, "company , hnslJeieri
having much trouble recently getting
enough apparatus' ad supplies to in
stall telephones and telephone equip
ment. This situation, telephone 'oiTicinls
say, has resulted from two causes:
There is a nation-wide scarcity of
ww products, especially wood, paper
and metals, the principal materials
used in making telephone Hippliea.
Also there is an unusual demand for
telephone service throughout tho
country, which has' continued for
nearly two years.
Because of the shortage of raw
materials andtho heavy demand for
telephone supplies, the factories aro
unable to furnish telephone instru
ments, wire, switchboard part3 and
other equipment as fast as needed
The telephone company is making
every effort to take care of requests
for the installation of telephones or.
changes in equipment as promptly ,vj
possible, but Manager F H. Forrest
says that at tim.es there is likely to
be considerable delay.
The, telephone company is asking
that it be notified as early as possi
ble when a new telephone is wanted
or when any change in equipment is
desired.

THE SOCIALIST FLATFOS3I
W
(Written for The Horold by Rev?
(J. it. IjOWC.J ,, .
f here 'aro two things we will ha.
to hend-it to the socialists for?
They are the first of the political'
parties with their platforms, and
mere tip pu. iiusiukuik tiie aucc -uiey
know" what theyv want." TheyVribW
pretty well -how theywould attempt
iu koi. at u mey iiuu it ciiunce. iue)i
difficulties -aro three: There aro -a
lot of people Who do not want w'nat
they want, .many do not think they
could get it tho way they expect to
get it, and the facts and experience
of applied socialism do not witness
to the successful working out of
their schemes.
What a time they had at New8 York
tho other dayl Thero was tho radi
cal wing and the conservative wing.
They fought for a good while. HU
quit of Chicago "headed tho conserva
tives, Engdahl of Chicago and oth
ers wero radical. They all shouted
for the radicals and "Brothers" of
Europe. From what we know of
the brothers in Europe and their do
ings, we" are constrained immediately
to "say our American, socialists are
certainly lined up with an enterpris
ing bunch, successful in nothing but
destruction and anarchy.
tThe radicals did not like the Hil
quit platform, they thought it was
but a lot of fine phrases, and not in
harmony with anything from across
the waters. Judging from what tho
conservative platform is and what wo
think of .it, it would be an interest
ing revelation and may bo a stUrt-'
ling one to know what tho. radicals
"demand."
Among, other things, is a "demand
that tho country and its wealth be
redeemed from the control of the
private interests and turned over to
tho people to be administered for
the benefit of all." That really
is u catchy phrase. How would Eng
dahl clarify it? Just take every
thing away from everybody and di
vide it up equally with all. What
more could Engdahl want in this
line? There is no one, recently at
least, who has experimented wlth'lhis
sort of thing more than Jmlne ind
Trotsky. They have found that un
der tho system, men will not work.
Tho first Idea was that the capitalists
would have to.work llko tho rest, but
tho outcomo seems to be that labor
ers are taking a rest and doing noth
ing more than tho capitalists did, and
still expecting tho system to work
and tho government to supply Jood
and clothing when there is none to
produce. They have also found thnt
their labor classes leak out into the
profiteer classes and become capital
ists insofar as they can and escape de
tection and keep their money. Wo
would bo profoundly interested to
know even tho plan nilqult has for
escapement of tho present conditions
in Russia, or anywhere soviet rule m&
touched.
"Tho socialist party, when in con
trol, proposes to reorganize tho gov
ernment so as to change it from ft
tool of repression into an instrument
of social service" Wo presumo to
help them wrest every man's proper
ty away from him under guise of
law, and give trom free rein to. do
as they please. Rven in this coun
try their history is not altogether
savorv. and thev cannot show tho
public they ilo not stand for anarchy

owhat would bctho outcome, glance
,3down the list to this: "The social-
Ist3 emphatically reject tho fraudu

of Nathan Hale! .Wo are almost of
the opinion tho New York legislature
did the right thing in refusing tho
socialist members a seat if they tub
scribe to such doctrino as this.

would like to know the method to be
pursued. We wonder if they have
tried it out in their own homes, ..in
the socialist prtrtyv Not knowing,
wo would but ask tho question. Wo
do not think they have. Tho fullest
and best family lifo is under tho
mutual dependence of husband and
wife, and not in their ipdependonce.
If you keep in touch with tho news
papers, and tho news of divorces,
you will see at once that tho larger
number of them como from the pro
letariat class, and that is what they
profess to be. , If they cannot ac
complish anything within their own
ranks, tho pot does not need to call
the kettlo black, even though 'fc is.
Most of us will -wait till they have
accomplished something for them
selves before we will put ourselves
under their moral coro.
In their principles they recognize
tpe burgeoiso aro intellectually and
spiritually dominant. "If wo want a
brainy man for president, ' and an
able one, why should wo not have
tho country run by a party which
has those candidates to make up its
polioses. And if there is any politi
cal doubt as to the mental qualities
wo dcclaro It is proven by tho polit
ical astuteness of tho party who nom
inates Eugene V. Debs for president
of tho United States, a man however
good and virtuous and howover tin
ned against h in federal prison, and
in an absolute imposlbility as a
winner. That is martyrdom to a
principle with a vengeance. Any
otherparty would toko into consid
eration the winning possibilities of
the candidate.
Wo must not omit this. "The so
cialisNtransformatlon cannot be ac
complished by political victories a
lone." What does that mean, whon
stripped to the hide, but revolt and
armed rebellion asysoon.as they
think they aro able. Who would bo
tricked by the next paragraph or
two? Tho socialist party seoks to
attain its end by orderly and consti

tho m canon of socialism but tho
shortsighted method of tho ruling

Thoso patrons of tho school who
went to tho High School Auditorium
last Thursday night, May 13th, were
treated to u ery delightful evon

two plays, entitled "No Girls Admit

with a negro talking skotch cleverly
done by Messrs. Fueston and Ander

by Helen Smith, Glads Frederick,
George Hergor and Lawrence Fred

by some amusing acting aniu&lng
excopt for poor freckles, whose ears
Were given rough usage as "they

of being Queen of tho May. This

Spraying cherries and plums as

ens may mean a much larger drop,
says tho Nebraska College .of Agri
culture. Two or three bushels of
cherries is n fair crop for a mature
tree to produce when well cared for
Neglected, it will produce one-half to
one bushel. Tho, average plum tree,
Would produce at loast two bushels,
but insects may, destroy tho entiro
crop. A combination of lime sul
