BOLSHEVIK INCONSISTENCY

If one would have convincing proof of the utter inconsistency of the Russian Bolshevik, he has 'but to consider the case of Rouunania. This little country, lying alongside the Russian border, was one of the earliest sufferers in the present wan Her sufferings at the hands of the Turco-Teu tonic hordes are almost unbelievable even in this day of unbelievable atrocities. Early in the war, under the government of the czar, Russia under-

took "to provlde _ Tor~aTrTKduxhanTan' refugees who succeeded in crossing the border and entering her domains, and a regular allowance for their support was made by the czar’s government, and faithfully paid so long as that government endured. After the fall of the imperial government, the Kerensky government also assumed the obligation to care for these pitiable people, but this care was only spasmodic and irregular. Since the fall of the Kerensky regime and the ascendency of the Bolsheviki, all care for them has ceased so far as official Russia is concerned. Loudly as they prate of their humanitarianism and the inherent rights of the proletariat, it would seem that the followers of Lenine and Trotsky sould not fail to recognize the urgent claims of these helpless people within their borders. Their utter neglect would seem to indicate that the policy of the Bolsheviki is not only repudiation of national obligations, but of all personal and human obligations as well.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

One of the eternal mysteries will •be, what did old Father Time do with that idle hour when the schedule was changed? Chinese flsheitnen train otters to catch fish. Which is all right if the otters don't do too much talking about their exploits. An exchange remarks that the Mexican crisis is passing. Of course it is. They pass as regularly down there as the moon’s phases, “Now is the time to begin keeping your chickens penned up,” remarks an exchange. The impressionable bachelor cynically retorts that there’s catching before penning. A New York man has appealed to the courts to compel his -wife to keep silence. But where is he going to find a. judge with nerve enough to undertake to impose such a sentence? Disappointed in pulling off their fight in Baltimore, Willard and Fulton might try the western front in France. There might not be so many rounds fought, but it’s safe to say it’ would be mighty interesting while it lasted. If Words would win the war, there, are people in tn is community, and in all others no doubt, who would be capable of doing yeoman serviced But words will not win. Talk’is said to be “cheap,” but in the present emergency we are constrained to believe it comes very high. What is needed now is not words, but deeds. Get down to business and 'brass tacks. DO SOMETHING. <Hiustle. Raise something to eat, or to clothe,, somebody, or do something to supply some other necessity. Work, work, and keep on working,- and let the words stay in the dictionary. They’re not needed. More than a billion dollars of American agricultural exports were sold to the European nations at war with Germany during 1917.

Had this patipn maintained peace at the price of obedience to the German war zone decree, this European market would have been closed and this billion dollars worth of agricultural products would, most of them, have rotted on farms and in warehouses, or been used in unprofitable ways, with consequent stagnation and ruin to the American farmers. Interest as well as duty urges the American farmer to give financial support to his government in this war. Buy Liberty bond;*.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

I would not like a traitor fall, my back against a limestone wall, a firing squad in front; ’twould Im a dismal way to end the, little path I humbly wend, this finish to my stunt. So I keep tab upon my tongue, and see that loyal; words are sprung, when I rear up and spiel; disloyal words may do great harm, may paralyze some soldier's arm, and make Jiim drop his steel. The careless talkers drift around, and fret - and scold and paw the ground; perhaps they mean no ill; but they’d be pained if they could know how far their idle yawpings, go to hearten Kaiser Bill, In times of peace each native gent could stand and cuss the government, until Iris lungs went lame; I used to do it, I confess; we all enjoyed it more or less, and all endorsed the game. Free speech is numbered with the boons for which our fathers soaked their spoons, and stripe ped the strongbox bare; when gentle peace is herei once more, we’ll all be privileged' to roar, and rant around and swear. But now sweet peace is done, to death; and he who uses up his breath to grumble and complain, to show that all we do is wrong, is striving hourly to prolong the Teuton Tyrant’s reign. I would not like a traitor swing from some tall tree where robins sing, a rope around my neck; and so I spring the kind of dope that reeks of confidence and hope, and "always will, by heck.

Had Enjoyable Auto Trip to the Pacific Coast.

(Continued from page one)

Wyoming, where the two boys and myself worked, eight days and made $192.50. We came on to Dallas, Oregon, where we were held up on account of a storm for two days, and the Columbia highway being closed we shipped by boat. We had a fine trip. Slept out every night where night overtook us. We met hundreds of tourists going and coming from all parts of the U. S., Canada and from Honolulu. Our actual time on the road traveling was eighteen days, and I never en-

LET HIM LIVE As long as the flowers their perfume give, So long I’d let the kaiser live — Live and live for a million years, With nothing to drink but Belgian tears. With nothing to quench his awful thirst But the salted brine of the Scotchman’s curse. ; - I would let him live on a dinner each day, > — Served with silver on a golden tray— ' Served with things both dainty and sweet— Served with everything but things to eat. ' _ ■ And I’d make him a bed of silken sheen,* With costly linens to lie between, With covern of down and filets of lace, And downy pillows piled in place; Yet when to its comforts he would yield. It should stink with the rot of the battlefield, And blood and bones and brains of Inen Should cover him, smother him—-and then His pillows should cling with the rotten cloy— Cloy from the grave of a soldier boy. And while God’s stars their vigil keep, And while the waves the white sands sweep, He should never, never, never sleep. And through all the days, and through all the years, There should be an anthem in his ears, Ringing and singing and never done From the edge of light to the set of sun, Moaning and moaning and mWning wild— A ravaged French girl's bastard child. And I would build a castle by the sea, As lovely a castle as ever could be; Then I'd show him a ship from over the sea, As fine a ship as ever could be, Laden with water and cold and sweet, Laden with everything good to eat; Yet scarce does she touch the silvered sands, Scarce may she reach his eager hands, Than a hot and hellish molten shell Should change his heaven into hell, And though he’d watch on the wave-swept shore, Our Lusitania would rise no more! In “No Man's Land” where the Irish fell, I’d start the kaiser a private hell; I’d jab him, stab him, give him gas; In every wound I’d pour ground glass; ,I’d inarch him out where the brave boys died— Out past the lads they crucified. In the fearful gloom of his living tomb. There is #ne thing I’d do before I was through; I’d make him sing, in a stirring manner. The'wonderful words of the “Star Spangled Banner.’’ —Van Amburgh, in The Silent Partner.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

joyed anything quite so well. And such beautiful scenery! We followed the Lincoln highway from Chicago to Omaha, thence to Granger, Wyoming. Here we branched off on the old Oregon -trail, following the Union Pacific-on. in. . We loafed about a week, rested up and all of iis went to work. Brother George is up in Washington checking spruce; rny son Jim has gone to sea, his first voyage, he writes, is from Seattle to New York; my eldest son, Byron, is working on government buildingsat Vancouver, Washington, working seven days a week and receiving $47.80 per week. I have been on government work since January 1 and am one of the six of close to 100 left on the job. 1 aim on the big spruce mill that is getting out spruce for the aeroplanes.- The mill , proper cost $300,000. It; is 288 feet by 348 feet. It is the same as twelve sawmills under one roof, six units and two saws to a -unit. Besidp the big saws that, saw tip the logs, there are twelve edge saws, twenty-four band 'saws, four rip saw's, thirtysix cut-off saws, besides the planers. They are building a $250,000 dry kiln which they expect to take care of the output of the mill, which is 300,000 feet per day running at full capacity. The entire mill is run and -operated by the soldiers, When everything is in running order it will take 1,500 to 2,000 soldiers to operate the entire plant. The “spirit of ’76.’’ isn’t in it with the spirit out here. I don’t know what it is, but everybody wants to do their bit. In the shipyards there are ball teams, a regular Pacific coast shipyard league. All prize fighters have to work at something, so they are in the- shipyards from fly weights to heavy weights, champions of the coast, and we get to see some good fights, three four-round bouts and three six-round-bouts for from sl.lO to $2.20, and I have seen some good ones. Some of the boys are invading the East now. Jack Dempsey is one and Al Summers, and both are making good. _ We had affine March. I have worked every Sunday up to the last four. Have had a cold all winter but think I can wear it out if it don’t kill me. Wages are good out here and plenty of work. The steel shipyard at Vancouver, Washington, will employ several thousand men, and there is talk of >a still larger plant here backed up by the DuPonts. Well, will close for this time and when I get time to go out will send you some pictures of the industries around here. Give the boys my best. Yours truly, WILL M. CHAPPELL.

EXPRESS COMPANY SETTLED

A. B. Lewis has a claim pending against the American Express company for a consignment of 400 dozen frogs, destined for the Chicago market, but dumped from the express car in the suburbs of Lee. It is explained by the express messenger that the frogs, which were “still alive and kicking,’’ became unbearably offensive and in self defense and for the protection of other material in transit, he threw the frogs from the car not far from where they were loaded. Being amphibious in nature, the home fire department was called out, it is

said, to save the cargo by a-liberal dousing in water. Thus were the frogs given a new lease of life and an opportunity to take cfiances with their kind for immunity from recapture. The shipper, on the other hand, as we learn, will back his claim for damage by evidence that the express company accepted the frogs for shipment in the usual condition and will show conclusively that the rash and ruthless disposition of the same was prompted solely by the vain imagination of the overheated official of the express company. Later —Since the foregoing was in type it is learned through Marshal Irons That the claim of —Mr. Lewis has been settled by’ the company paying him $92. —Monon News.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forevjer. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All druggists. 75c. F. J. CHENEY CO., Toledo, O.
