Recruiting Russians.

The discussion that has been going on recently about recruiting Russians has given rise to the question: Who is recruiting these Russians thus violating our neutrality?
 After due investigation by many diff ferent people the following facts have been found: That many Russians have assembled from day to day in the Cali fornia in large numbers; that they have played, smoked, drank ate and sung. With these facts presenting themselves we are forced to the following conclu- sions: Suspicion points to Andy Mo Kenxie as the guilty party. He has been recruiting Russians. Americans, Greeks Swedes and everything else that he could get hold off. He is recruiting them into companies, into regiments, into battalions and brigades, until now he has an army drinking his fine wines, liquors and cigars and enjoying them selves at the bowling alleys in the old California Saloon.

AGAINST MIIITARISM

The University of Wisconsin is one of the nations educational institutional where radical thought has often found haven of refuge. The privileged in- terests have also found foe instead of friend in its faculty and student body.
 Now we learn that as result of a survey just completed the complete ab- olition of military drill is advocated. Que of the means by which m,lltarism is foiSted upon the country is to sub sldize the state universities and force the students to take military drill. The subsidy is paid by the national govern ment and the students must take the military training before they can get a diploma. This is nothing short of con- scription in disguised form.
 Because of the compulsory military drill, the report issued as result of the survey asserts, the efficiency of the department of physical training is re- duced three-ffths. The same amount of time in teaching the arts of peace and methods of efficient citizenship would do more to advance the interests of the state.
 This report should pave the way to the complete abolition of every vestige of militarism from all institutions ot learning in the control of the state The university of Wisconsin is again point ing the way, and pointing in the right direction. ---Ex.

STAMPEDE HAD A
 SUDDEN ENDING

RUBY-The stampede to Crow creek seems to have subsided as sud. denly as 1t started. The last of the stampeders returned Sunday and about all they have to tell is that the creek has been staked from end to end.
 The origin of the rush is very simple. Wayne Doolin got a hunch that there is a chance for gold on the creek and induced George Riley to go with him and have look. After sizing up the situation they staked with the object of doing some work later. Their movements were observ- ed and the stampede resulted.
 Three or four fyspecks to the pan is the best any of the stampeders could obtain. However, this was necessarily from the surface, the ground being notoriusly wet. Some white wash is visible, and it is assert ed in some quarters that specimens of heavy gold were actually banned on the creek two or three years ago. Record Citizen.
