The counter-drive of the Poles against the Russian Bolshevtki, who were, almost upon Warsaw, only to be thrown back and started on a long retreat, revives atrong hopes that the Kussc-Polish. etruggle may be settled without Involving other nations in the fighting. With ?uch a come-back by the Poles, the Russians, who by this time mutt by pretty tired of fighting and In no condition for a big campaign, win scarcely attempt to dictate terms in the haughty mood they shewed a short time ago. In the laet few days it has looked more as 1 the Poles mijrht do the dictating. Such terrorism as that of the Bolshevists la boned to blow up sooner or later. Tt is to bs kept in mind that it got its ter rori3t reputation exclusively from attacks upon defenseless civilians at home; from assaults upon thosa it should have protected. When opposed by an army it. could make no headway except when it had overwhelming numbers. Calling a Russian a Bolshevist has not changed him into an invincible tighter. Tie can endure only eo much hunger and fatigue, and then he is bound to be about as ready for peace as others. While we must be on guard against exaggerations, and must not build on peace until it comes, the reports yesterday read much a if the Bolshevists are beini routed in disorder. At any rate, it looks vastly better now for term3 that will afford a reasonable basis for peace discussion.

history. We are seeing tha world at abut to clear away the wreckage, and it is our privilege to lend a hand to build aain. more substantially than ever, a lofty temple to universal peace. The years of destruction have ended. The era of construction is at hand. In that thought should be balm for the achln heart and new vigor for tired spirit and worn body. Nothing worth while has ever been achieved save by bard work. It is not reasonable then, to expect that the greatest tas's to which man has ever dedicated his effort can be accomplished except by the most unrelenting foil. There are discouragements ahc-id. Irritations, dlsaapolntmeats. But there will be uo disillusionment for the man who is true to the faith and labor to the end. "I'm tired of the fight," says the Weak Man. "I'm disgusted with ths country," says the Hitter Man. "I I! fight it out to victory." says th Strcng Man. You hear such words about you every day, on the trains, in the street cars, in the thronged restaurants and teeming shops. l.'nconst iou?!y, nil about yo'i, men and women are classifying themselves, the ontimist and the pessimist, the able and the feeble, the builder and the parasite. And Jut as truly as we classify ourselves in the daily struggle we are being classified by the inexorable march of marshaled events. Great time breed strong men. Weak men who yield become weaker. Pt-cng men who triumph become stronger. It is for each of us to say. Irrevocably and indisputably, whether wo shall be conquered by events or whether we shall conquer time. Noa but ourselves can make us weak or strong.

PLAIN AS PRINT. It la reported that the English and French are oroewhat puzzled to understand the significance of the Harding nomination. They have only to read the speeches of the candidate when the league of nations was under discuselon in the senate, and focus the attention on the ringing American phrases that punctuated thote addresses, to comprehend precisely the sort of International relations that will be the policy of this country once Senator Harding is in the White House.

THIES CHANGE. A few years ago the Standard Oil Company was the favorite type of bogle fur the campaign crator or magazine "muck-raker." Tt was the great trust that ground the public under its iron heel while the stockholders revelled in unholy proflt etc., etc. The other day a small party of men went from tbeir offices in Chicago to the plant at Whiting-. Among them were the president of the Standard Oil Co. find.', the chairman of the board and several directors. The board was on its way to announce to the employes t the Whiting plant that $15, 000. 00 had been paid in 19 ID and the first six months of 1920 in wage and salary increases. Every man in the party had wcrked his way up from the ranks. The president, t)r. Burton, started many years ago as an assistant chemist at WhitingStep by step his industry, experience, inventions and executive ability won him a steady advance to the top. Col. Stewart, president of the board, started in as a law clerk in th offices of the company some twelv- rr fourteen years ago. He became assistant and then chief counsel and finally was promoted 1o his present position. Merit, not influence is the criterion.
