The Russo-Polish Armistice The signing of the Russo-Polish armistice by
the peace conference commissions of the two countries is the hardest blow that has been struck against the soviet regime in Russia. A :'ew months ago, flushed with the prospect of apparent victory, the Lenine government believed it had overthrown the last obstacle barring the
spread of its sinister influence rope and that it presently would to the Atlantic.
Heroic resistance by the Poles, under direction of French officers, at the very jrates of
Warsaw not only stemmed the Red invasion, but also hurled it back beyond its own border. Now it is forced to sign an armistice agreement whose terms virtually have been dictated by the nation it had hoped to engulf. In the meantime, conditions in interior Russia have gone from bad to worse. Correspondents weeks ago asserted that the Polish campaign was a military movement by Lenine to obtain booty and provisions to enable hinvto feed at least part of the Russian population and to keep satisfied opposition that wTas beginning to assert itself despite the rule of blood and fire with which he was enforcing the alleged liberal principles of bolshevism. ' Today reports from Russia indicate that revolution against bolshevism is breaking out in many places. The populace, without sustenance, poorly clad for the rigors of a Russian winter, with the fuel supply gone, transportation wrecked, finance paralyzed, sees nothing ahead of it but ruin and chaos. The promises of bolshevism has ended in a reign of terror such as the world has not seen since the days of Attila. Small wonder that its people finally have been driven into despair and are rising against the monsters who inflicted the outrage. Had the Lenine government succeeded in crushing the Poles, the victory would have given it an argument to use in its propaganda. News of the defeat of its armies has trickled back into Russia. Bands of soldiers have mutinied against their officers and are marching home,
Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams , ' IF YOU CAN SEE AHEAD There are many things each day that savor of humdrumery. Monotony kills unless there is something behind to drie one through it. If there is meaning to the thing you c"o if there i3 an ideal hanging in the happy chamber of your heart if you know that what you do leads to something of great interest and import, then you are able to endure to face drudgery and walk along with it until you see your rising sun just a little way ahead. 1 Everything we do has a rettion to some larger unit of accomplislment. And it is the sum total of tliings for which we strive. f The significant life is the one able to understand that the rough spots and ways are necessary and essential. For by acknowledging their essential worth, there is acquired a running purpose which adds control to one's efforts and leads one on. Hardship gives zest and color to work and makes a man glad that there are so many things worth fighting for. Where there is a definite end always kept in view, there is created a continuity which makes all things look gOfl. Much of the power of the great man or artist is suppressed. There is feeling Just the same but its expression is "brought about tlirougli perception alone. For very lack of utterance, some men and women are great. Even a s the few lines of the master tell volumes of what he omitted. If you have schooled yourself to look ahead, you have learned the values hack of the big job that enfolds before a big world as you leave the little irritations and bitter disappointments behind. When one begins to get results, he is able to step from peak to peak! Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton AN ADMIRABLE PLAN, WE SAY Wo are deliehted to note that they Are reviving the plan to establish a colony of chimpanzes in this country to do the manual labor in many sections. It is the purpose to uplift the whole ape race and let the little brown brothers go to work for the white folks. - N The apes are second only to human beings in intelligence, and in point of fact, they are not second to some hu man beings we have met. Out on Long Island, where justice Js often dispensed with a lavish hand, a police judge recently said to a prisoner: "If you plead guilty, which you are, the court will be easy with you. But if you plead not guilty, which you ain't, and the court finds you guilty. Which it will. It will go hard with you. What do you plead guilty or not guilty?" A pessimistic reader rises to remark: "What the average girl knows about a needle is that it can be used only once on a gramaphone." But our experience has been that the average pessimist has a good deal to
learn about the average gin. Captain Kidd was quite a fellow at that. He got his when the getting f wasn't as good as it is now. The world's champ', prevaricator

Farmers Seek Members for Their Association The Wayne County Farmers' association hopes to have, a membership of 2,000 before the week ends. The work of enrollment has been systematized in a thorough manner; meetings are to be held in every township; and every farmer will be asked to join. We hope that the leaders will succeed in making the membership proportionately the largest of any county in Indiana. Wayne county is one of the most fertile in the state; its farmers are rated the most progressive; its herds of purebred livestock rank among the best in the Hoosier commonwealth. Its association should be one of the best. Membership in the association should be highly prized by the men who produce the crops of Wayne county. Important problems confront the farming interests of the United States. They never can be solved until the farmers, through their organizations, are able to determine a policy of action and to go before the legislative bodies with measures, worked out by themselves and incorporating the remedies essential to their welfare primarily and to the benefit of the urban dwellers generally. Only through organization can this be accomplished. And such organization must be general. It must include every farmer. Only then can the collective opinion of the agricultural interests of this country be voiced in a logical and determined manner.

It takes a brave editor to hand back his manuscript and tell him to get out. The reformers believe that where there is so much smoke, there must be some tobacco. Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON v. , ' USEFUL BILL. I watched Old Wilhelm as he wrought, and knocked the stately yew trees cold, while down his regal dome of thought the sweat of honest effort rolled. Of old this Wilhelm seemed no good, when he was hoodooed by a crown; yet now he knacks up cords of wood you cannot keep a good mau down. There is no nobler task than his, now coal is scarce and hard to get; I watch him make his bucksaw whiz and cry, "Old Bill's our one best bet." When he was ruler of a realm he earned no high and rich reward, such as he earns while sawing elm and pulling down six bits a cord; now, when he goes to roost at night, he has no crimes o'er which to fret; the record of his day is white, and Wilhelm is our one best bet. If we'd all do as Wilhelm does, and ply our bucksaws in the sun, the bats that in our belfries buzz would find their futile errands done. We ply the swift and tireless jaw until its hinges creak and smoke, when we should wield the trenchant saw and pile up ricks of helpful oak. Memories of Old Days ! In This Paper Ten Yeara Ago Today V Mayor Zimmerman ruled In the board of works meeting that for 90 days he would withhold decision as to whether the 1911 Chautauqua could be held in Glen Miller park.

General Wrangel is leaving behind him a satisfied populace. He.is not inflicting a harsh government upon the people through whose land he is proceeding, but is placating them with assurances of stability and justice in governmental affairs. The hope of Russia's rejuvenation, it seems, rests with the military genius and the statesmanship of this man. Against his wise policies, bolshevism probably will fall. The whole world will be relieved of an awful suspense if the menace of bolshevism is being destroyed by the yery forces of iniquity which it launched. Weeks may elapse before the Russian populace is able to throw off entirely the shackles with which ifchas been bound by the economic fallacies of Lenine and his ilk, but it seems as if the soviet leaders had run their course.

Five Minutes with Our Presidents
By JAMES V'f . f v v -" s-v-r . y&rtjfi fit if f 1 0 LUCY WEBB HAYES, WIFE "He serves his party best who serves his country best." With those watchwords Hayes had sacrificed himself and his administration to reunite North and South, to cleanse the Civil Service and to regenerate the Republican party. So quietly, so coldly, so undramatically did he go about all those great objects that he remained to the end of his term one of the most misunderstood, most underestimated presidents, the Republican leaders hating him as an apostate and the Democrats despising him as a fraud. He selected one of the most distinguished .cabinets in history. But he did it without consulting party leaders or considering the claims of factions, and the offended senate threatened and muttered for nearly a week before it confirmed the nominations. .To the disgust of "practical politicians" he "threw away" a highclass foreign mission on a man like James Russell Lowell, "a dashed literary feller," as Senatpr Cameron said, and he enraged Roscoe Conkling by flinging the political machine of that imperious senator out of the Federal offices in New York City. He would also have made a start toward the removal of the Civil Service from politics and spoils-mongering had not both parties combined in congress to thwart his every effort in that direction. Hayes' boldest challenge to the Republican politicians was his abandonent of their 12-year struggle to reconstruct the Southern states from Washington. Ever since congress had seized from Lincoln's lifeless hand the control of reconstruction, the entire proceeding had been a tragic failure, creating an orgy of corruption and violence in the South and demoralizing the politics of the whole country. It was an attemp, so common in this country, so solve by mere political methods a problem that was not at all political. The fatuous politicians at Washington gave the ballot to the negro in the expectation of setting up Republican states in the South but they did not give a cent of money to educate him to read the ballot and to see that it was counted. They gravely invested him with equal civil rights at law, but they left him economically unequal and a dependenfcon the whites. When he asked for "40 acres and a mule," they only laughed at him. Yet it was the one thing he needed first of all, and surely he had earned it by his "250 years of unrequited toil." Inevitably the educated and propertied class wrested the government from the hands of an illiterate and penniless race in state after state. When Hayes came in, there were only two Republican state governments remaining in the South, and he prdmptly withdrew the Federal bayonets that were propping up those feeble survivors in South Carolina and Louisiana. Thereupon they collapsed in an hour, and their imported governors, hurriedly repacking their carpet bags, returned North by the next train. Hayes had merely completed the reconstruction of the Southern states on Lincoln's plan. Unfortunately it was too late to make it the same healing measure that he great emancipator had designed it to be. For unlimited negro suffrage had been thrust into the constitution, contrary to Lincoln's advice, with the evil result that a solid South continues to plague the nation. Hayes came to the presidency in the depths of an industrial prostration, when wandering bands of tramps thronged the highways of the land, and soon the great railway strike paralyzed transportation between the Atlantic and the Mississippi. In response to the popular cry for "more money" both parties in congress were for repealing or modifying the resumption act and for inflating the currency with greenbacks on silver coinage. The president firmly resisted such a surrended. Had not his veto of the Silver bill been overridden- he would have saved the country from taking the first step on the road that led it to the brink of free sliver In 1896. All this independence cost Hayes the support of the political time servers and the applause of the partisan press. These united in denouncing and ridiculing him as a renegade in politics and as a sniveling hypocrite in private life. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hayes were more devotional in their religion than any other tenants of the White House. The day was regularly opened with all the household kneeling at morning prayers, and often the evenings were given over to the singing of the familiar old hymns.

MORGAN OF PRESIDENT HAYES 1877 April, President Hayes withdrew Fed e raj troops from Southern State capitals. , Banished alcoholic liquors from the White House.

Conkling's lips curled into a sneer as he portrayed the henpecked husband taking a furtive drink behind the door or secretly quenching his thirst with "loaded" oranges. It was true that the White House chef, perhaps at the instigation of one of the bibulous cabinet, relieved the arid situation at first by serving Roman punch in oranges at the State banquets, a refreshing course which Secretary Evarta hailed as the "lifesaving station" in the long, formal dinners. When Mr. and Mrs. Hayes discovered the trick, they ordered the cook to turn the joke on the guests by giving the ice a rummy flavor but without putting in a drop of rum. Whether the presidential couple, smiling behind their napkins, or those who continued to smack their lips over this item in the menu were really fooled, history saith not. Robert G. Ingersoll said that Hayes went in by one majority and came out I unanimously. Nevertheless, the Re publican party was so discredited in 1876 that it was unable to get an undisputed majority even of one vote at the end of the Hayes administration or was strong enough to carry the country in 1880 and inaugurate a president with a clear title. Hayes found the North and South divided and he left them more nearly reunited than they had been in a generation. He found the National currency paper and he left it gold and silver. He found the prosperity of the country at dead low tide and he left it at high tide. It fell to Hayes to ring down the curtain on the epoch of the Civil War and to usher in another epoch. The voices of the past cried out against him, but in his complete retirement from politics he lived to hear the voices of the new time give a more favorable and a more just verdict on his administration.

APPROPRIATION ASKED
FOR FOREIGN TRADE WASHINGTON, Oct 12 Appropriations approximating 1,500,000 will be asked of Congress at the next session for the expansion of foreign trade, according to the estimates under consideration today by the bureau of the foreign and domestic commerce. The bureau's appropriation for the present year was $900,000. Officials declared increased funds were needed because of the changing conditions of America's commerce. Orders to exporters are falling off, it was pointed out, and instead of buy. ers coming to this country as they did in war times, it will be necessary for American merchants to sell their goods in the markets in competition with the foreign manufacturers. Expansion of the commercial attache service of the bureau is planned, officials asserted, in order that America may be informed regarding world market conditions. Y. P. U. Mass Meeting Postponed Indefinitely No meeting of the Young People's societies of the City Federation will be held Wednesday night, according to an announcement, made by the president, Tuesday. It is hoped within three or four weeks, he said that a large mass meeting of the combined membership can be conducted, and a fitting program arranged. Although Wednesday night was the date set for this meeting postponement is made to give time to more thoroughly organize the individual meetings, before holding the main mass gathering. Time for the next meeting will be announced later.

II. -T am sure that any sufferer from troubles like mine will find that Trutonaa worth its weight in gold," Mrs. Mary Kirby, a well known. Terr Haute woman, of 34 South 10 and 14 street, told the Trutona representative recently "My system generally," she continued, "had been in a run-down condition for the past three months. My appetite was rery poor. I didnt care for a thing to eat; I was very weak and nervous, too, and didn't rest well at night. I've had trouble with my kidneys for several years.

"Well sir to be truthful about the matter, I can't remember when my meals have tasted as good as they do now. And I'm sure Trutona's tho cause of my improvement. After I had taken only a few doses of the Perfect Tonic, the pains in my bac ceased to occur, and I haven't notice r them since. I feel so much stronger: now, and go about my work with, more pep.'
