All rights of republication of ape clal dlapatchea herein are also reserved. N The Spring of 1919 The civilized world will greet with pleasure and satisfaction the advent of spring. For the first time in four years it will not be the harbinger of the resumption of bloodshed and' murder on wholesale scale. It was one of the sardonic ironies of our civilization that spring brought a resumption of human slaughter , upon a scale so 'gigantic that mankind could hardly grasp it. In the home of the "peasant and the palace of the rich, the return of spring had come to be regarded with dread arid an awful suspense, jj J That feeling of fear is over. Once more the peoples of Europe and America can look on nature arising from its sleep , on meadows ready to burst into green, on woods ready to respond to the breath of south' winds, on hills soon to be carpeted with wild flowers and on fields soon to bear crops. Spring is on its way. This year it comes with a new meaning, for human society cleansed in the fiery furnace of four years of warfare, is ready to -accept principles that will make for peace and happiness. :J Itjis the universal hope of mankind that as

spring matures into summer, me great principles of peace, now in its formative stages, will find a glorious consummation. Spring is always the season of rejuvenation and of hope. The Spring of 1919 is doubly so.

news that United States has opened new trade routes, among them being new routes from New York to China, Australia, New Zealand, India, Greece and the west coast of Africa. Ships are now leaving Seattle and Portland for Danzig, Saloniki and Turkey. Other routes that have been opened are between American ports and the Dutch East Indies and Antwerp. The question of an American merchant marine has been agitated in Congress for many years and all sorts of schemes including subsidies and bonuses have been suggested. Every patriotic American who recalls the glories of the old Baltimore clippers and other, fast sailing vessels of the early years of the nineteenth century will rejoice in the fact that the American flag is again being carried into foreign ports on American ships. The commercial supremacy of Great Britain, as well as the pre-war commercial activity of Ger-

Jmany, were directly attributable to their mer

chant marines. It is to be hoped that this activity in the construction of American vessels will continue so that our vast export trade can be carried in American bottoms. It means not only added dollars to our national wealth, but also an enhancement of our national prestige.

The Radical Movement ; ;The memorandum submitted by SolicitorGeneral Lamar of the postoffice department to the senate propaganda committee stating that the I. W. W., anarchists, Socialists and others were "perfecting an amalgamation with one object, the overthrow of the United States by means of a bloody revolution and the establishment of a Bolshevik Republic", is the first tan

gible "evidence that the radical element in thej United Statesis trying to disrupt our republic! The outspoken statements of the leaders in this movement are indicative of the boldness with which they are engaging upon the project. They indicate that the radical elements are trying to;

get together into oneorganization or at least to unite in a sympathetic movement. The disclosures are of greater interest than of a menacing nature, for so long as 51 per cent of the people of the United States believe in system and order, these imps of destruction and apostles of chaos will not get very far in their efforts to make the United States a second Russia. Law and order still have the upper hand in the United States and the decent citizens will assist the government in bringing these men to trial and in sending them to the penitentiaries or into exile.

The American Merchant Marine For the first time in a quarter of a century, more than 10 per cent of the exports and imports of the United States are carried in American bottoms. . Figures made public by the United States shipping board show that the American merchant marine now comprises 46 per cent of all shipping plying between American and foreign shores. This fleet represents one-fifth of the sea going tonnage of the world. Coincident with this showing is the cheering

The Broken Soldier

A returned soldier doesn't care for sympathy

or admiration so much as he cares for a job. If

he is injured he wants to learn . a vocation in which he may be able to earn enough to support himself. The placing of men in civilian life is a

bigger problem and one worthy of more consideration than the erection of memorial arches. These will not buy him clothes and food. They will not get him a job. The soldier and sailor is willing to let the memorial tokens wait until the

country has first given him an opportunity to make a living. The allied nations are taking this view of the situation, too. All of them have adapted their governmental machinery to replace him in the industries and other spheres as quickly as possible. The Anglo-Italian Review takes a whole-hearted and proper view of the problem when it remarks : "The broken soldier is an important organic factor in the national life. A hundred thousand homes have their mutilated heroes sons, fathers, husbands, brothers. Therefore the public is at last awakening to the iniquity of the idea that a money recompense is an inadequate solution of the great problem. People are beginning to see that when you give a man a pension and tell him to be satisffed, and that you will increase it if he be not satisfied, you are only trying to dodge the devil in the dark. You are not discharging Ayour debt to the wounded soldier. He has given his health for you, and that is something for which he cannot be reimbursed in terms of money. The only royal road towards discharging your debt to the broken soldier is to try as far as possible to give him back his integral manhood, to teach him and train him so that he will become an independent human being, able to work and earn his living, standing side by side, cheek by jowl, with the man who stayed at home, feeling that though he has fought and suffered he can still work and live and not be simply an object of public charity. When you have done that for him, then you may give him his pension, not as a payment for the blood he has shed, nor as a means of sustenance in life, but as something given over and above, a little abiding token of the nation's gratitude to the man who has fought and suffered."

The people of both country and city were advised last year to plant and tend home vegetable gardens as one means of increasing the essential to victory food. The war has been fought and peace seems near, but the problem of feeding millions of destitute people confronts the world. The wolf has been driven from our doors only temporarily, nd his whine of hunger may be heard in many homes before the gathering of the crops of 1919. Home vegetable gardens on forms, in city back yards, on vacant lots and on idle lands about industrial centers are just as necessary this year as they were last year. The safe assumption is that it will be many a day before the cost of living reaches the level of a few years ago, and the best way to meet a part of the high cost of living is by producing a part of the living right here at home.

"THE FREEDOM OF THE " According to latest reports, it seems reasonably certain that the Amalgamated Association of Profiteers will come out flat-footed , in favor of the freedom of the seize. Indications point to the fact that the street railway magnates and subway operators of this country will demand the freedom of the squeeze. Flu patients and those who have had it, seem to be of one accord in favoring the freedom of the sneeze. It is understood that the Scotland Highlanders, also Harry Lauder, will announce themselves very soon in favor of the freedom of the knees. It is expected the comic weeklies will advocate very strongly the free-

uom or ine wneeze. In Kansas and Nebraska and Oklahoma the people have long been accustomed to and would be lost without the freedom of the breeze. Those Germans who are advocating the liberation of the Interned crown prince may be said to be in favor of the freedom of the cheese. The ladies aid society has adopted resolutions which will be forwarded to Paris favoring the freedom of the teas. It is quite doubtful if returning drivers will be In favor of the freedom of the fleas, but they may. Nine million attorneys in the United States alone will join in a gigantic movement to enforce the freedom of the pleas. A LITTLE SLICE OF LIFE. The young woman sighed And gazed at the photograph on the table. "No more," she said, "no more Will I hear him coming up the walk At 7 o'clock each evening, Bringing me a bouquet and a box of candy. No more will he sit here on this sofa And hold me in his arms. And make endearing speeches and praise My eyes and my hair and my complexion. No more will he telephone me Every hour of the day and send Me those little notes inviting me To the opera or to a dinner downtown. No longer will his car be at my call Never again ;il I know where he is Every minute of the day; and these Sweet confidences, ah, gone forever!" The young woman sighed again.

Auto load of revolutionists dashing through street celebrating formation of republic and crowds listen ing to President Karolyi, at right on steps. The fact that no word has been received recently concerning any trouble in the newly formed republic of Hungary would indicate that the new nation is working out itr future satisfactorily to most ot the people. The pictures above, which have just arrived in the United States, were taken during the formation of the republic. The lower photo shows how the revolutionists, in their delight over the overturning of the old monarchial regime, commandeered autos and every other kind of vehicle to celebrate the coming of democracy.

When Was West Richmond Friends Church Founded?

Almost since the time that there were Friends in this vicinity, a church has been dreamed of for West Richmond. But the first trace of the modern West Main street church is found in the visit "of John William Roundtree, of England, in 1899. He called together the young people of the neighborhood and told them he thought there should be a strong meeting at Earlham. In December, 1907, the Whitewater and South Eighth Street meetings held a joint committee meeting to consider the work on the west side. One hundred and forty persons were found who were willing to join and support such a meeting. In March, 1909, the qaurterly meeting granted the request for a new meeting, and the new meeting was opened at Earlham on July 14, 1909. For a few years the meeting worshipped at Earlham and then purchased the old Harrison house for a meeting house. The new modern church was completed in 1917 and the congregation moved in. It is a very complete structure, embodying every feature of a modern church, and is dedicated to the memory of Allen Jay.

MY DESTINY WHATEVER IT MAY BE BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS " My destiny would I know it? Oh, no! Any more than I would know the result of my efforts in advance of toil and sweat and pain and privation and hunger. For my destiny Is what I am in being. In doing. In working. I am on good speaking terms with my destiny tho its acquaintance I know not! My destiny is kind to me kinder than I deserve. It both leads and follows me. It Is inexorable. So that I am calm in thinking of my destiny whatever it may be and in believing that I am ready for it. We are all men and women of destiny. Our thots and acts are our "angels' (Or our devils.) For destiny is neither a respecter of good nor evil. Our destiny is our destiny. Plain, simple and unvarnished. For our destiny is our end! Let us then strive in purpose. Let us not be mean. Let us walk in faith. Let us think in deeds. Let us work to our purpose our destiny! . But let us not worry about our destiny. It will come anyway. Nothing can stop it nothing can prevent it. But many things are able to change it. Men and women shape heir own destiny. And then it must come whatever it may be!

From the New York Times. IN less than seven weeks the legislature of North Dakota, adjourned short of its legal limit, enacted laws more radical, more vital, mere searching, for good or evil, than probably any other state legislature has passed. We have not now to debate the principles and practices of the Non-Partisan League, whose obedient voice that legislature was. In many neighbor or distant states the program of the League is urged by an intelligent and tireless propaganda. In its home and centre it is about to carry out its Ideas. By their working it will

bo Judged.- Whether, like the Farmers' Alliance of a generation ago, it is to suffuse with its dogmas political

parties or to gratify the hopes of its leaders by becoming

a majority party on its own hook, lies with those speculations in political "futures" that, for the present, have not been forbidden by our sages in Congress. What are these presumably honest and sincere men, a majority of the voters of North Dakota, trying to do? Well, they have established an Industrial Commission to manage public utilities; a system of terminal elevators and flour mills. These are objects which the farmers of North Dakota, in that farming state not to be regarded as a "class" party, a club of "bourgeois" self-seekers, have long esteemed necessary or desirable. Let us see how their machinery works.. If they "imagine" themselves fo have, grievances, shall we not remember that they are the best judges of their needs, and that imagination is not primarily the quality that runs a farm so that the rural bookkeeper if the pathetic curiosity of the income tax formalities about that person be not a dream of the Red Tape Brigade can set down a profit? The North Dakotan farmers have been growling and crying out for years for these state flour mills and terminal elevators. TneIr complaints are now to be justified or thrown out of court; and, on the whole, they will pay the fees, if their indictment Is quashed. Five millions of

bonds are to be issued to pay for the desired system to be managed by the Industrial Commission, composed of the governor, the attorney general, and the commissioner of agriculture. That these officials are said to be echoes of Mr. A. C. Townley, the head of the Non-Partisan League, need not concern us of the East, who have to get our information of misinformation about league affairs from authorities that, however respectable, can't be described a3 "non-partisan" any more than the league, w hich is passionately partisan. Two millions for the state bank; ten millions to lend to the farmers; these are the beginnings of this state

system. "Revolutionary," our effete easterners would ray, if they didn't know that the western man is an independent species, willing, and often able, to do as he likes. By a special act the assessed valuation of real and personal property in the state is boosted from $400,000,000 to $1,250,000,000. The farmers mulct themselves unselfishly. Henceforth farm lands and utilities will be assessed at 100 per cent of their value, whereas in cities so far as these exist in North Dakota home and business buildings and personal property will be assessed at 50 per cent of their value. Everybody with an Income more than $1,000 is to be taxed, but incomes from farm mortgages, most important to North Dakota, will go :-cot free. Even in the bosom of altruism these little dissonances will be heard. Corporations will be assessed at 3 per cent of their net incomes, and every one of them must pay 50 cents on each $1,000 of capital exceeding $10,000. - These are details in a plan not, In its beginning, byj

any means so dire as hermits of the east have been led to suspect. North Dakota, forerunner or example of half a dozen other states, is to operate a little economic policy about whose extensions and potentialities most of us need not excite ourselves prematurely. Let us see, calmly, how it works.

All that I hope is that his mother will say Josh is a chip off'n the old block." It happened in the German capital some months ago. Two German Socialists were standing talking in the street, and one, becoming excited, exclaimed: "I tell you what, that idiot of an emperor ." His discourse

was cut short. Turning quickly, he , was confronted by a German policeman, who informed him that he was j under arrest. "What for?" asked the i

captive, beginning to weaken. "For uttering treason against your emperor." "Oh, but you didn't let me finish. I was going to say 'that idiot of an emperor of Japan.' " "No, you dont" replied the policeman. "There's only one idiot of an emperor. Come along with me!" An English militant crusader strolled into a barn where a young man was milking a cow. With a snort, she asked: "How is it that you are not at the front, young man?" "Because, ma'am," answered the milker, "there ain't no milk at that end." "But, my dear," said the wife, after he had complained about the food the new cook had brought in. "You know during these terrible times it is absolutely necessary that we make great sacrifices." "Oh, of course, but what I object to is that cook's making her in the form of a burnt offering."

LEONARD EAM (DEL Relieves Deafness, Stops Head Noises

VEGETABLES GROUPED FOR PLANTING Garden crops are divided by Unitde States Department of Agriculture specialists into four groups with respect to planting the seeds or setting out the plants. Group 1 (may be planted two weeks before last killing frost.) Early cabbage plants from hotbed or seed box, radishes, collards, onion sets, early smooth peas, kale, early potatoese, turnips, and mustard. r Group 2 (may be planted about the date of the last killing frost.) Beets, parsnips, carrots, lettuce, salsify, spinach, wrinkled peas, cauliflower plants, celery seed, onion seed, parsley, sweet corn, and Chinese cabbage. v Group 3 (should be planted two weeks after last killing frost.) Snap beans, okra, and tomato plants. - Group 4 (can not be planted until ground is well warmed up, about a month after last hard frosts.) Lima beans, pepper plants, egg plant, cucumbers, melons, squash, and sweet potatoes.

Nine out of ten cases of Deafness and Head Xoises are caused by catarrhal mucus (matter) in the Eustachian Tube, which connects the nose and the ears. Leonard Ear Oil removes the mucus, opens up 'the tuba and the other air passages of the head, and the result Is improved Hearing and relief from Head Noises. It is not put in the ears, but is "Rubbed in Back of Ears" and inserted in the nostrils, and "Common Sense Direc

tions ror care or Hearing," which accompanies each bottle, tells you exactly how to take care of your own case. Do not be misled by substitutes or imitations.
