Poles in South America.
(POrtland OregOnian). .

If it is true that the Russian gov- ernment is planning to foster coloni- zation of Poles in South America, as is reported from Petrograd, the move ment will mark a departure from the customary policy of that government Despite the vast population of the Russian Empire, estimated recently at 185, 5,0O0,0O0, with an annual increase of more than 100000, Russia has not appeared aomng the nations encour- aging emigration of it's own inhab- itants. The great area of Russia is in proportion to it's population and there is room for many millions more before the food problem will become at all acute; in addition to which the Czar is credited with definite coloni- zation ambitions in the direction of certain regions in Northern China contiguous to his own Asiatic Russia.
 One explanation suggested is that the Poles have proved a thorn in the side of the Russian conservatives ever since formation of the Duma, and that it is desired to reduce their relative political power by finding homes for them elsewhere. The Polish people have long been strong individualists: they charge their lack Of development in their own country to repressiva measures rather than to lack of Polish enterprise; they assert that in a frner atmosphere they would take a n1oon among Russians corresponding, for example, to that of the Bohemians in Austria.

The doorkeepers of Zion. They do not always stand In helmet and whole armor, With halbreds in their hand: But being free of Zion And all her mysteries. They rest a while in Zion. Sit down and smile in Zion, Ay, even jest in Zion In Zion at their ease. The gatekeepers of Baal. They dare not sit or lean. But fume and fret and posture. End foam and curse between. For being bound to Baal, Whose sacrifice is vain. Their rest is scant with Baal, They glare and pant for Baa1, The mouth and rant for Baal- For Baal in their pain But we will go to Zion, Fly choice and not through dread, With these our present comrades, And these our present dead. And being free of Zion, Tn both her fellowships, Sit down and sup in Zion, Stand up and drink in Zion, Whatever cup in Zion Is offered to our lips.

MUNITION TAX MEN

MAsHIS SGroS. Jan. 29.--Thai President
Wilson is likely to be won over to a
proposal to place tax on munitions Of

OF prominent leaders OF the House.

supplemental stamp taxes as recon-
meudcd 10y President Wilson.
II was pointed out to-day by House
leaders that the term munitions" is
broad and indefinite and that loosely
construed 1t might be made to cover a
large variety OF manufactures that are
now being exported in considerable
quantities.
In his address to Congress on Decent
bcr : the President suggested, among
other things. that taxes should be levied
on fabricated iron and steel products. pig
iron. automobiles. internal combustion
engines and gasulenc lie also suggested
that the surtax rates OF the income tax
law be raised and that the exemptions
of that statut. for married and single
men might be lowered.
The suggestion is made hy House mem-
bers that the proposal ~ Speaker Clark

shall be abandoned and the moneys for
