PAINTING THE RED.
There isn't going to be any revolution. Nothing
very sensational about that news, to be sure, but it
may serve to put American life on a less hysterical
plane. It begins to appear that a good deal of radi
cal propaganda of the violent sort has had no actual
basis, but has emanated from sources seeking only
to make a profit out of the business of combat
ting it.
No need to place full credence in every detail
of the confessions of Albert Bailin, the private de
tective who tells of being hired for the double duty
of fomenting unrest and of stamping it out. Enough
is constantly coming to light from other sources to
indicate that the use of agents provocateur is not
confined to Europe.
It is easy to see how men of wealth, if they
could cniy be convinced that a radical plot wrere
under way to deprive them of their rights and
privileges, would spend lavishly for information on
the progress of such a movement so that it might
be headed off. It is easy to see how some other
men, wanting money, would be tempted to bring in
fake reports of bomb plots, kidnaping plans and
various wrild designs. The more frightened the
wealthy clients became, the more they would pay
the men who were supposed to be protecting their
interests.
Very often private detectives become leaders
among radical organizations. They have even been
known to dtatw up incriminating documents and out
line plans which otherwise would never have been
contemplated. Then the police swoop down and
take up the rank and file, while the man who may
have stirred up the whole mess goes free as a state
witness. •
Even those who would justify such methods as
providing a way to round up and get rid of groups
such as the twenty two communists who are facing
trial in Michigan must have some reservations This
setting of class against class, this sowing of suspicion
end distrust is not a thing to he encouraged. Any
one, whether he be a detective or an anarchist, who
sets off a bomb, is a menace to American institu
tions.
This is a most interesting course of investigation
that has been opened up. The reds are not entitled
to any sympathy, nor are the wealthy interests who
have allowed themselves to be duped. The private
detective agencies need not be wholly condemned
without a hearing, but they should be given that
opportunity, whether they want it or not. Such
unrest as might be stirred up by these means will
never be dangerous in itself, though in exaggerat
ing the lines of cleavage between different classes
in America the influence is a bad one.
THE TELEPHONE GIRL.
A few instances are on record in which lural
telephone operators have received special compen
sation or award for some act of service entailing
;acrifice or danger, yet there are untold numbers
who every day give their very best in true service
for the public, without even receiving thanks. _
Recently a call of fire came, in the middle of
the night, to a rural telephone exchange, where the
operator was ministering at the deathbed of the
one whom she held most dear. At receiving the
call, she resolutely turned her fare to duty and re
mained at her post until the file dcpariment from
' a neighboring town was secured to combat the
flames.
Another instance, never ivioriied. of the in
terest and htdp given hy the telephone girls in the
effort to save the life of an infant. This small mite
of humanity, barely tipping the scales at three
pounds, aroused the devoted interest and sympathy
of these loyal girls, and no matter at what hour of
the day or night the call was put in, those in at
tendance could turn their attention to the relief
of the little sufferer, knowing the faithful telephone
operator would lose little time in locating and no
tifying a competent physician.
During the seven months in which the little boy’s
life lay in a balance, the interest and ready re
sponse to a call did not wane, and when the feeble
spark of life had ’gone out, the sincere regrets add
sympathy expressed hy one of these girls to the
sorrowing parents, with the previous service, left
a lasting impression.
No one should lose patience with those who
are so willing and ready to serve the public. Delay
In answering calls in rural communities is some
times unavoidable. The hasty or irritable subscriber
should spend a half day in the busy room where
these calls nre received. For the telephone girl
has a heart, and impatient words are sometimes
.■harp and cut deep.
"NO GENTLEMAN.”
Nowadays it seems that the well known human
race is immune to all criticism that stops short of
a term behind the bars. A man may amass a for
tune by some series of shady deals, leaving the
wreck of his victims strewn along his path. If any
one tries to criticise him, tho devastating reply is
always ready: “Well, he’s enjoying the money, isn't
he?" Another man conducts himself disgracefully,
outraging the principles of morality and ending up
in a domestic estrangement. As far ns the world
can sec he is not particularly cut up hy the notoriety
that attaches to his name, hut continues to lead a
life of ease and pleasure.
In an older day, to remark that n man was no
gentleman was the final insult, than which nothing
could cut deeper. Such in effect is the meaning of
the elimination of the names of the Stillmans from
the New York “Social Register." Certainly some
protest was due for the unseemly conduct of those
concerned In this family squabble. The force of
social ostracism may not be as strong as once, but it
is good, for all that, to see it exerted.
Perhaps the world does not mnke ns much use as
It might of this standard. Social prominence counts
large with a great many people, some of them cheats
and blackguards. It would he interesting, and possi
bly worth while, to try the effect of saying, when
some man oversteps the bounds either of business
or social propriety, that he is “no gentleman," and
then see how he e/ijoys his plunder and his prey.
“LAME DUCKS” AND THE COUNTRY.
The Norris resolution, proposing n constitutional
amendment to bring the opening of congress in
January instead of December, and inauguration of
the president in January instead of March, has
passed the senate. Perhaps its passage was ex
pedited by a reasonable desire to get it out of the
way of the funding bill and the ship subsidy meas
ure, both of which have been passed by the house,
and arc included on the administration program as
the items of prime importance. What really inter
ests the public is that the long mooted step is
finally being taken.
When the Constitution of the United States was
adopted, the making of laws was not so much a part
of the life of the nation. Communication was not
easy, and time was required for exchange of opinion
and formation of policy between statesmen. What
took weeks then may be accomplished in a few
days, or even in a few houre now. No need, then,
for an interim of eleven months between election
and the taking of seats in congress, or four mouths
of grace for a retiring president to leave and a
new one to get ready.
A still more potent reason for the change is
that it will not leave ‘'lame ducks” in office after
they have been retired by their constituents. A
large number of the gentlemen “under the dome”
today are indifferent, because they are going out
of office. They were judged by their records and
rejected in November, and any record they may
make now is ex post facto. Even those of them
who are sincere can not have the same zestful in
terest they would show under different circum
stances.
Also, it is not inspiring to see a congress en
deavoring to round out and complete a program
after it has been adversely passed upon by the vot
' ere. Not one of the hig measures now pressing but
i could have been acted upon before election, had
i not time been squandered in futile debate, most of
it for the very purpose of delaying decision.
So far as the executive is concerned, the office
and prerogatives of the president will be little af
fected by the change. Perhaps it will he to his ad
vantage to have a congress newly chartered by the
voters to deal with, rather than one that is about to
expire, and which lacks the incentive to work. Con
gress may still meet in December, following elec
j tion, but will do so in full knowledge of the fact
that it has but thirty days to wind up its affaire. A
new congress will come on in .January, instead of
November, and “lame duck” legislation will cease
to menace public affairs.
IN CASE AN AUTO BUMPS YOU.
An old engineer lay dying in the .switch shanty,
| where he had been carried after being stru k by the
locomotive. “What hit me?” he gasped. “It was the

j God,” replied the dying man, “I didn’t want to be
| killed by a dinky switch engine," and he went out
happy.
None of us care to be knocked down by a ten-ton
! truck, or by a $10,000 imported motor, but if we had
' to make a choice, it would be one of those rather
, than a flivver. Some sting has been taken out of the
: situation by the action of a group of thoughtful men
down in New Yrork.
' Hereafter, when you have been nudged off the
j pavement by a flying auto, and you wake up in the
j hospital, you will have a little comfort. As the nurse
says, “Here, drink this,” you will be cheered by the
, recollection that you were rot the victim of a care
less chauffeur, but that, you were put out by a mem

I not admit taxi drivers or any of that sort to mem
■ bership. The latter will be compelled to unite in
, the future as they have in the past with the inter
, national Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers’ union, or go without a “card.”
If the bump is so hard that you do not wake up
in this w’orld, then it will not materially matter
whether you were hit by one or the other of the
groups. Either is sufficiently fatal. What we would
like to bespeak in advance is that the judge make
! no distinction between a professional automobile en
gineer and just a plain careless driver.

—Editorials from, Other Newspapers—
Old Age Tensions.
From the York News-Times.
State Senator McGowan of Madison
county has introduced a bill calling
for the establishment of a board to
oversee the payment of old age pen
sions in Nebraska.
Probably this bill will be killed In
committeeo or by the senate, but, just
tho same. It points to a growing sen
timent in favor of payment of old
age pensions.
Leading old countries have paid
old ago pensions for many years, but
the newer countries apparently have
been loth to Inaugurate the system.
The bill by Senator McGowan does
not provide for tho payment of stated
amounts, hut does provide that the
beneficiaries must bo selected by the
county boards and must be 70 years
of ago or over and have an Income of
loss than $400 a year and a capital in
vestment of less than $3,000.
No person who has been In Jail or
prison more than four months can
participate In the old age pension
fund, and no one who has not lived
In the state fifteen years or more will
be eligible.
It Is alleged by economists that tho
counties and state could save money
by paying the aged poor a pension
and have them live in their homes
rather than support them In county
poor houses. Then these Indigent
people feel better to be in their homes
and they usually can work at some
thing that will help out and make the
amount to he paid as a pension that
much less. There is groat merit In
the plan and It will not be many
years, it is predicted, until the alms
houses will be abolished and all poor
will be provided with pensions under
the best regulated pension system.
There Is one feature to old age pen
sions that is abjectionable, and that is
tho tendency of some people not to
be thrifty when they know thr-y will
ho taken care of in their old age.
But this objection will not suffice to
prevent the establishment of old age
pension systems. The same objec
tions apply to the county poor house
system, which at best is an expensive
proposition.
Senator McGowan has started
something that eventually will result
in old ago pensions In the state of
Nebraska.
America's Sweet Tooth.
From the Houston Post.
For further evidence that prohibi
tion diverts, if it does not prohibit,
consider tho report on sugar con
nimpth'n in the United States last
year. Tho American Sugar Bull- tin
reports that all records wore shat
tered, the per capita consumption
C"irvg to 10? poun''s. compared with
*8.2 pounds per capita in tho previ
ous year.
Some of this increase has hoen sc.
counted for. of course, by tho mure
prosperous conditions among the peo
p!-» last y«ir. With the revival of In
dustry and relief from un< mployment,
they bad more money to spend on
sugar as a staple food.
A large part of this Increase in
sugar consumption, however. Is ac
counted for by the increased demand
for candy and soft drinks. Tho ten
dency of former drinkers to turn to
sweets was noted as soon a« prohibi
tion went into effect. It has been
more untie, able as the saloon has
vanished into history.
Perhaps, the whole population and
not solely the former mod- rate drink
ers of intoxicants, are consuming more
soft drinks and sweet goods. When
th« saloons went out. them was a
great increase In soft drink and con
fectionery establishments. Many of
the former saloons were turned into
respei table pin -s of this ■ .rt, and
have done a flourishing business.
The traffic In liquor continues to n
certain extent, but it Is a mistake to
- time that more liquor is being
drunk than in the days of the sa
le.-a. The sugar statistics h-lp to
disprove that contention.

With the Camp Fire Girls.
From the New York Tribune.
The annual report of the Camp Fire
Girls contains the gratifying informa

leges have added a camp fire course
to their curricula. Competition of the
eight crafts of the course—homecraft,
healthcraft, campcraft. handcraft, na
tureeraft. businesscraft, patriotism
and citizenship—makes a camp Are
guardian a young woman competent
to handle a group of Camp Fire Girls
in any activty of the moment. Credits
for the course are given toward the
degree the student may be working
for, so highly is the work of assist
ing young girls to have a wholesome
good time regarded by the colleges.
It is stated also that school faculties
regard the training for camp fire
work as of great value in such courses
as psychology, government, the
drama, music and art.
There are l.riO,onf) Camp Fire Girls
In the United States, their number Is
constantly growing and their influ
ence is noticeable In all sorts of civic
matters. The woman voter of the fu
ture Is being trained for her responsi
bilities by Justesuch organizations, and
she will be much better equipped for
them than the woman voters of today,
who lias to learn It all after she
grew up.
It Is Interesting, too. that the so
rial graces are not being neglected
for the Camp Fire Girls have Just had
a hall, a regular old tlm" ball, in a

Fosdirk v*. Grant.
From th. Continent, Fr.ibyteria*.
Uproar over I>r. Grant, In the Kp!v
eopallan diocese of New York prom
ise to bring into reli- f a much mor<
crueiai issue of theology than Phil.v
delphia presbyters have he«n able to
develop out of the “fundamentalist"
sermon of ] >r. Fosdirk—or could de
velop rut of any of his sermons if
they searched them all for heresy.
With Dr Grant the question turns on
whether he sees in Jesus man or God
man. In that Issue faithful believers
properly find a test—no, let us say,
the test—of a standing or falling
church."
It is one kind of a chu* h which be
lieves in Jesus as a grw>d man and
• lu • • another kind of a chur h which
believes in Tiim. as "the only-begotten
Son of God.’ And be;, on! dispute the
historic church, the church that
draws lineage from the apostlp*. is
the litter church—the • hutch of the
dlvfne incarnation. No criticism can
possibly deny that the message of the
first preachers about Christ was the
proclamation of an altogether super
natural Person, crucified, dead and
hurled, but risen from the dead and
"by the right hand of God exalted"
to be "both laird and Christ." Who
ever. therefore, holds a purely human
rone, ption of the "Man of Galilee"
ought not to claim, ought not to be
willing to retain a place In the minis
try of a church which by constitu
tional forms avows its purpose to re
peat the apostolic evangel. No doubt
this is Just where Dr. Grant will be
called on to make h!s convictions
plain. If ha does acknowledge Jesus
as "God manifest in the flesh." his
church ought to have a place for him.
If he does not have that .faith, he
ought not to desire such a place
This is the pivot O' who h turns
the only radical and generic question
it t'hr,«t in orthodoxy In no wise
ought the evangelistic church to
abridge its teaching of the whole
body of the apostolic faith. lint
wIkii it must determine who is
amenable and who is not amenable
to its guiding and governing thought,
here is the derisive touchstone Do* »
tie receive the Son of Man as Son of
God* Happily for those who sec in
Dr. Fosdirk a great modern prophet.
It is not possible to make doubt of
his position in this matter. Ths cen
tral faith in all his preaching never
clouded and never dubious, is th»
actuality and ths power of the in
carnation of ths Father In His F n,
ottr I*ord, .lesna ths Christ.
