THE FILTHY BOMB THROWER
Maxim GOrky, the Russian ReVoIu-
zionist, Is Driven from Respect
able New York Hotels.

In all lands the man who throws
bomb is a man of black heart, who
lives a life of filth. He is a brute,
who takes the most brutal and COW
ardly advantage of his fellOwman. He
is an insidiOus monster. who, by the
art of craftiness, gains recruits among
sympathetic people, who would shun
his evil suggestions if they but knew
the man.
1t is reported in the news of the day
that Maxim Gorky, the Russian auth
or-revOlutiOnist and the 'patriot" we
read so much about in American
newspapers during Russia's trouble
with Japan, and who seems to think
bomb in the hands of an anarchist is
a torch of liberty in the palm of the
patriot, now in this country for the
purpose of raising money and arms to
overthrow the Russian government,
has been forced to leave a hotel in
New York on account of having with
him woman who is not his legal wife.
The New York papers print the story
with full interviews and expressions,
all going to show the truth of the tel
egraphic announcement that the couple
have been forced to seek new hotel
accommodations, which, it is said,
are not at all certain as being perma-
nent.
And it is to be hoped, in justice to
the character of American home life,
that the vulgar reyolutionist may not
be able to find habitation for long
at a time, and that the law of the
country will be invoked to force him
to leave, under the clause which pre-
vents the bringing into this country
any woman for immoral purposes.
The idea of such a man having the
effrOntery to appeal to the fair play
and to the chivalry of the American
people, after quietly leaving a hotel
under so terrific an indictment, is in
itself sufficient to fasten his immoral
guilt in the minds of the average
self-respecting American.

TRAINED NURSE
of Nine Years Experience Writes a
letter to The News.

To the Editor of The News. | am
trained nurse of nine years ex-
perience in hospitals and private
cases, and for the benefit of the people
of Dawson [ wish you would publish
my experience with the cod liver oil
preparation called Vinol.
| was completely Frustrated from
overwork. l had no appetite, could
not sleep, my kidneys, liver and bow
els became inactive, and as | grew
weaker | could not retain either med
icine or food on my stomach, and
raised blood. The doctors said my
condition was critical, and | would
probably die.
AS | had seen VinOl prescribed for
my patients with such remarkable re-
suits | decided to try it myself. After
the first bottle | began to improve. [
continued its use and soon began to
sleep and eat well; every organ in my
body was strengthened and became
normal, until it seemed good to be
alive and [ was restored to perfect
health and strength.
l believe Vinol is the most potent
and delicious cod liver oil prepara-
ton and tonic rebuilder in the world,
and it is such blessing to be able to
take into the system all the body
building and medicinal elements of
cod liver oil without the nauseating,
greasy oil itself.
l advise all my patients who need
strength for every organ in the body,
rich, red blood and flesh tissue to
take Vinol as IL is so far superior to
fashioned cod liver oil, emissions
or other tOnics.

return money if it fails.

come to me reports of greater
scarcity of labor than has ever before
been known. The situation, so far as
the farmer is concerned, has grown
worse instead of improving. 1t has
almost reached the point where it is
not question of the amount of wages
paid, but of getting sufficient labor at
any price whatever within reason. 1t
is needless for me to point out what
the consequence of this will be.
The planter who secures the neces-
sary labor to hoe and cultivate that
acreage which has heretofore proven
profitable will be fortunate indeed.
Is it not apparent, therefore, that the
planting of any heretofore unproftab BILE
acreage will prove greater loss than
has yet been experienced from it =?
Here, then, are two reasons why all
poor and Improbable land should be
cut out. In the first place, the very
planting of it will affect the market
price of your crop to your disadvan-
tage, and in the second place it will
cost you more to make cotton on it
than ever before.
81 have noticed in my travels over
the state in the interest of the assOcia
ton that some farmers have with wise
foresight met these conditions and are
not planting their poor land in cotton.
Have you done likewise? 1t is to
your interest to do so. Let me APP
peal to you to do it.

The gubernatorial campaign has
now progressed to the point where
some opinion can be formed as to
what is doing, and there are not a few
shrewd and unbiased observers who
do not hesitate to say that at the pres :

and from one who is not Russell

SUING FOR AN ACRE OF LAND.
An Acre of Ground That Was Washed
Away Is Subject of a Lawsuit.


An acre of land washed away by the
Minnesota river is the subject matter
of suit in Minnesota. One mans
deed calls for five acres, but in a time
of high water the river moved further
over on anOther's farm. He first sued
the man across the river, then sued
the man from whom he bought, claim
ing a rebate for the missing acre and
also pay for the money spent in trying
to get the man over the river to ''re-
mig" Somebody has the acre of
land, but just who it is hard to de-
termlne. Unless the man had insur-
ance against Hoods he will no doubt
have to await the time when the river
will decide to return his borrowed

THROW THE POOR LAND OUT
SAYS PRESIDENT OF THE GEOR-
GIA COTTON ASSOCIATION.
Mr.. johnson Says the Farmers VIII
Have to Figure on the Scarcity
of Labor This Year.

In addition to the fact that the price
of cotton the coming season will de-
pend largely upon the acreage planted
throughout the cotton states, the Ia
Dor problem this year has assumed a
more serious phase than ever before,
and the time has come when the far
mer must figure more carefully on this
element in estimating the cost of pro-
duction. President NJ. L. Johnson of
the Georgia division. Southern Cot
ton Association, calls particular at
tention to this feature in a statement
issued to the farmers of Georgia. Mr..
Johnson says:
81 feel it my duty now more than
ever to warn the farmers of Georgia
against overplanting, against plant
ing in cotton that land which you
know from experience to be unprotita-
BILE, land which will yield you no re-
turn for the investment of labor and
capital, for the time has come when
this class of land is going to be more
expensive than it has ever been be-
tore. If you have land which yielded
YOU no return last year, or upon
which YOU planted at loss, you will
lose more this year if you plant that
same land in cotton.
