BOLSHEVIKI MUST BE CHECKED. Bince that moment three years ago when the Bolshevik! seized control ot Russian, the cut-throat government has been openly hostile to orderly civilization. Although it has been ready at all times to make contracts, it never has concealed its purpose to ignore any obligation that it might assume if it suited its plans to be recreant. It is utterly without honor and so incapable of entering into agreements. et for months, ever since the armistice in fact, efforts have been made la certain European capitals to couit to terms with the Lenine-Tiotzky tyrants and terrorists. Almost up to the present moment some statesmen have been willing to bargain with the Bolsheviki. knowing full well that the criginal objects of the Bolshevists remain today the paramount aims of that crowd. The Bclsheviki willbe satisfied with nothing les than the destruction of orderly government throughout the civilized world. They are public enemit-t to be fought or to be bottled up and permitted U die out. Thsy have been all along the menace to tht wcrld that they are today. But it is only now, when the valiant armies of Poland find themselves unabk longer to cope with the Russians, that the entei4 governments are preparing to move to the protection of themselves and all others threatened ty the Re., hordes. Poland is to be given military suppoit. long and bloody war is in prospect. Fanatics of th. Bolshevist type will not surrender after a few defeats They will fight on, as they have done for more thai, two years. And it must be admitted that their powei of resistance has been markedly increased through the paltering with them of which certain powers have teen guilty. There is probably great rubbing of hands in Germany over the advance of the Bolshevist armies. The German rejoices as he hears of the crumbling of the Polish lines and of armistice maneuvers not that he takes Joy in soviet successes as such, but because every mile the Russians advance brings nearer the day In the Teuton mind, when the naticn of western Europe will accept their late foe as a comrade to Etezo the tide of the Slavic invasion. There has long been reason to believe that , the Germans have been looking forward to this hour of opportunity when they hope to write off a large part of their debt incurred in the great war by pulling the latest allied chestnuts out of the Cre. It would be Interesting, indeed, to learn to wh3t extent the Bolshevik miliary triumphs have been due to German assistance. How many guns has Berlin furnished? How many military advisers? If the new government can plead innocence to such indictments the world will be greatly surprised. 13ut Germans who have staked much upen Russian successes have cverplayed their hand. Poland will not fall, either to Bolshevik bullet3 or Bolshevik pamphlets. It is not love for Poland that moves the French and Brtish action now. It is concern for their own welfare. And it has hjten far too long postponed. The Bolshevik are an even worse enemy to the world than was Germany. They should be combatted on the same basis that nothing short of complete extinction will make the world safe.

war now is 1.7 26.S00 aires. ' The new fjrmers propose living on the land, cultivating the soil and growing crops. There is something pleasing about the young men going back to the farm. Farming is the oldest, most healthful and ought to be the most profitable of all legitimate vocations. Many wage-earners of the city are waiting fcr the time when they can go back to the farm. They know the people of the cities need nil the products the farms can grow and that the prices to consumers are too high because the supply is not large enough. So they lcok upon farming as a iuty and a mark of loyalty. In this age of uncertainties it is well for all to look over the offerings in land. The opportunities for home-making are pot all gene. There are opportunities in agriculture in all farming distircts of the nation. And there are peop4e in all large cities anx

ious to get back to the land. They are not satisfied with the uncertain, artificial existence as wage-earners.

Analysis of every statement reveals an expert juggling of words and phrases that provides fine reading l,jf. does not enlighten, the reader as to the democratic nominee's stand cn a single Issue of this campaign, as well as a skill of evasion that smacks of the ward-heeling politician and is entirely incongruous coming from a candidate for the highest office in the gift of the people. Such phrases ps '"we nrust put civilization's house in order." which seemed to be the keynote if the speech tan be said to have had a keyncte are so meaningless that no Intelligent person will wonder at the lack of enthusiasm over the speech even within democratic ranks. What a contrast, for instance, is the democratic candidate'" support of "the stand taken In the platform" rn the league of nations question and the entire treaty to Mr. Harding's declaration on this issue in his speech of acceptance. Mr. Harding said: "o surrender of rights to a world council or its Military alliance, no assumed mandatory, however ap--.eallng. ever shall summon the sons cf this republic to war. Their supreme sacrifice shall only be asked fcr America and its call to honor. There is a sanctity In that right which we will not delegate." Clear-cut and to the point, this expresses the at'itude of I'D per cent of Americans.

DA-TEBALL IMAM CHICAGO. "Easeball is at the bottom of the success of our factory. The Bpirit of baseball animates our employes at their work. On the diamond and in the shop, they play the fame." Robert H. Quayle, Jr., is the manager of the manufacturing plant of the Commonwealth MotoiB Company at Joliet, 111. He is also manager of the factory baseball team, which is the champion of its district. He plays in every game. He believes the national pastime is ft valuable business asset for any firm. "Individual efficiency and enthusiasm combined with team wor are the secrets of our success cn the ball field and in the factory," Mr. Quayle continued. "We play ball on our toes. Every fellow ia keyed up to concert pitch and is but there doing his best to win victory for the team.

the same way. They pi:t the ans pep and interest into their tasVs that they put into making ba-w-hits. I have filled them with the idea that the spirit that wins at baseball wins in business. I don't have to watch anybody. I know that all the time every man in the shop is batting .300 in bia work. With the team spirit that animates the whole force, no slacken would be tolerated. A loafer would be treated as one who had doablecrossed his team mates. "I believe our shop is one of the most efficient in the country. The success of the Commonwealth car in domestic and foreign markets has been one of the romances of modern business. But it never would have been what it is except for the baseball spirit that inspires the workers in the plant and keeps them at the top of speed and excellence individually and as

UNSIGNED, UNWANTED. One of the most remarkable things in the newspaper business is the persistency with which people write letters to newspapers expecting them to be published, but never signing their names to them. If some man called you up on the phone and harangued ycu for five minutes but refused to tell you his name, you wouldn't pay much attention to him, would you, and we have known people who refused to talk with the party over at the other end of the phene when he declined to give his name. Well, newspaper men feel exactly the same about anonymous letters. Nearly every newspaper carries day by day an editorial notice that anonymous letters will not be noticed, yet they keep coming. In fact, there Is scarcely a day when a newspaper of any size doesn't threw anonymous letters In the waste basket. Perhaps, this will explain why the letter we received yesterday found such a destination. Had a name accompanied it, not for publication, but merely as testimony that the sender was not ashamed of what he wrote, the letter would have been published. So please don' waste gocd paper sending unsigned letters to a newspaper office.

The Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad Ranks

With Several Great Trunk Lines It Serves in Many Ways

Measured by volume of traffic handled, th- Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad has the importance of a large railway system.

The Belt Railroad is 1 1 6 miles in length, it operates 1 28 locomotives. But its mileage is no key to its importance: In July it moved 1 40,438 cars, a record number. It handles as much tonnage as some of the great railway systems operating over thousands of miles.

Touching every railroad that enters the Chicago district, the Indiana Harbor Belt Line has an important part in the movement of transcontinental freight. Whether it is fruit from California, meat from beyond the Missouri River, grain from the Northwest, steel from this district for the motor car plants of Detroit or the railway terminals at New Orleans, such freight inevitably passes over the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad. One task may be to transfer a single package consigned from Seattle to the Atlantic seaboard; another order may be for the movement of a train load from a western to an eastern line. Whatever the problem, the services of the India'na Harbor Belt are available.

Locally, the diversity as well as the mammoth size of some of the industries served is another index to the usefulness and importance of this Belt Line.

It is the transportation auxiliary of the oil and gasoline refineries. Numerous steel works, blast furnaces, coke ovens and rolling mills depend upon its deliveries and shipments. The manufacture of cars and other railway equipment is aided by this line. Scores of industries, including chemical plants, metal refineries, and fabricating shops look to this railroad for service.

Essential arm of industry, connecting artery between eastern and western ra:Iroads, the Indiana Harbor Belt Line is an indispensable factor in keeping up ths steady flow of the nation's food supply.
