If they are not why do they cause trouble in a beer parlor? If women who are bad characters are to be excluded from getting a drink of beer why not exclude that kind of man? These are questions that it is difficult to answer. Commissioner Davidson cjosed a beer parlor in Vancouver last week because it went to the dogs once women were admitted. It is to be assumed that ,the serpent accompanied Eve, else why all the trouble? Commissioner Davidson apparently thinks men are the only people that get dry and crave a drink of beer. Women, even though they, are a little more than half the population, do not count. They should be kept out jf the parlors Do women get thirsty? If so why may they not drink? Have they not just as much right as men? If there are to be beer parlors, and the people of the province have declared there shall, then women should' have a chance as well as men. If it is debasing for them, it surely is also debasing for men. If women have similar nppetites to men, it would be an autocratic move for men to try to exclude them from the privileges of satisfying that appetite with a glass of draught beer. There is an election coming on soon in Manitoba and there is so far plenty of mud in thar" province. Possibly it little tossing of the soft clingy stuff might be in order; If it's Winnipeg mud it never comes off." SOVIET RUSSIA AND CHINA To those whose strength of mind is such that it can overlook all evidence and therefore who have held to the opinion that Soviet Jlussia has had nothing to do wih affairs in China, two events which have transpired recently must come with something of a shock. The first event is the papers secured during the Northern Chinese raid on the Russian embassy at Peking and the second is the attack made by Zinovieff on Soviet policy in China. "The Chinese question is the problem of the Soviet home affairs," stated Zinovieff, "and the "setback suffered by the Chinese Communists is a defeat for the Soviets." He was answered by Buk-harin, the chief defendant of the Stalin policies, who declared that Russia had to go slow in China. What China needed was an agrarian revolution. "The peasants must be armed. Peasant unions and committees must be formed. All measures must be taken to urge on the peasant rear-guard of the Chinese revolution," he aid. It will be noted that this argument took place at the meeting of the Third Internationale. It will also be 'noted that neither speaker took any trouble to differentiate between that organization and the government in power in Russia. Evidently Moscow's protests against the tendency to confuse these two associations are not taken seriously at home.a circumstance not greatly to be at, since the Soviet program and policies are first sanctioned ly the Political Bureau of the Communis.t party and the dominant Comrnunist leaders of the Internationale are also dominant in the Soviet government. Among the papers seized at Peking was one containing instructions from the Third Internationale to the Military Attache containing the following paragraphs: "It is essential to lake all measures to excite the masses of the people against the foreigners. To this end it is essential to bring about clashes between the foreign powers and the masses. In order to evoke foreign interference do not stop at any measures short of robbery and massacre. In case of collision .with European (military units make wide use of these incidents for agitation." There was a lady went to the Family Shoe store recently and asked for a shoe that was large on the inside and small on the outside. Rumor says she got both.
