A NEW RUSSIA.

Whatever may be the effect of the
European war upon the other nations
involved, there can be no doubt that
out of the cataclysm will merge a
new Russia, Russia a century in adj
vance of the Russia that went into
the war;" observes the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
"The slow processes of development
and advancement, slower, far slower,
in Russia than in any other Christian
country, have leaped forward with
amazing rapidity as a consequence of
the fluXing necessities of desperate
war. An unwieldy and discordant
mass Of many races has been forged
into a unity that no other force could
have accomplished. The various ele-
ments have found a common feeling.
And out of this unity of thought and
purpose has grown liberalism and
a fraternity virtually unknown in the
Russia of two years ago. The most
remarkable evidence of this change
comes in a dispatch from Petrograd
announcing the adoption by the duma
same civil rights as are given to 9TH
er classes of the population. That is
to say, for the first time in its his
tory Russia has established civil
equality under the law.
In countries where civil equality has
long existed, theoretically at least, it
is difficult to realize the significance
of this step, but its Importance may be
appreciated when it is understood that
over eighty per cent of the people of
Russia, about SS,000,000 of them, are
peasants. The peasants in Russia
constitute an order, definite class.
Only One-fourth of them are farmers,
the remaining being common labor
ers. When serfdom was abolished in |
1861 the serfs became nominally free, |
but they were held in subsection no
less rigid and no less cruel by the sys-
tenn of landlord allotments then es- /
-ablished, and by the inequality of the /
avs which encouraged the mainten-
ance of caste divisions. Those who ,
had been serfs, and who are now,
with their descendants, the peasant +
class, have been the victims of the 7
most grinding oppression from the
classes above them, an oppression per-
nitted, in principle, by the law itself.
The new law, apparently, throws down
he bars. The possibilities of this rev.
,lution are beyond conception. The
is at once raised to height
hat heretofore could only be con-
emplated in his dreams. Advance
nent that was impossible becomes
low a matter of personal effort and
qualities. He can be no long
n held down to the ground by law.
What will he do with his new freedom?
Time alone can give the answer. But
me thing is sure. Any movement
must be upward. He cannot go low
sr."

AS TO PERMANENT ROADS.
Sank County Democrat.l

(Sauk County DemOcrat.)
Just as we are getting unhappy over
the apparent failure of the .macadam
roads, the boys of Sank county rise
to the situation and give us a fresh
grip on the highway problem. They
are not out to solve the question of
permanent roads, as we have been
dreaming about them; they do come
to the front with a hope to make good
the dirt roads.
1t is just possible that we have been
dreaming about permanent" high
WAYS. The Lord knows we need
them: there are certain interests that
would nave us keep on trying. Take,
for instance, the cement industry. That
great organization says that cement
will do the business. A few years ago
it was the asphalt industry that held
the only genuine panacea for rough
streets and roads.
There is no doubt about either for
the making of a smooth road. Cement
is a great element, if made into con-
crete. But in the public highway it
IS not vet demonstrated to be without
serious fault The matter of cost is
not satisfactorily explained, both in
the first instance and in the up-keep.
To make the rOadbed of concrete, and
have it of practical width, makes the
original cost prOhibitive. We are go
ing in this country at a pretty swift
pace on expenses, but a halt is bound
to be called sooner or later. We can't
go on forever, without stopping to
figure on costs.
Those who are promoting concrete
construction-the cement industry
talk glibly of initial costs and repairs,
but when the farmers of the country
are told of roads that cost $4,000 a
mile. they are apt to let out mighty
yawn, or something worse. Yet that
is a moderate figure, if 16-foOt road
bed is made. A dirt road on each
side for horses, and farmers, is all
right, but the maintenance of those

Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their kid
news. II suffering from a lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is
only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms OF kid

ger often lies. You should realize that
these troubles often lead to .dropsy

InfantiIe Paralysis and Running Nose.

IGfantile Paralysis and Running Nose.
Infantile paralysis, an epidemic OF
which has been raging in New York
is another of the disease of childhood
which authorities in contagious dis
eases state secure their entry through
nose and throat and are passed on to
new victims by the mucous discharges
Of patients suffering from them. The
list is a long one, including nearly
every contagious disease of childhood.
Measles, mumps, scarlet fever, whoop-
ing cough, sore throat, tOnsilitis,
pneumonia, grippe, and common colds
are doubtless spread in this manner.
In the warnings concerning infan-
tile paralysis great emphasis is plac-
ed on viewing every child who shows
symptoms of common cold" during
an epidemic, with suspicion. This is
especially important as it is now be-
lieved that many infections with the
germs of infantile paralysis never go
to paralysis and that a child, supposed
" with nothing but a common cold,
may infect another child who may die
or become hOpelessly crippled from
this terrible disease.
| wish that I might persuade every
parent and teacher to respect the pos
sible danger that lies in running
noses" of childhood. As yet Wiscon-
sin has escaped an epidemic of infan-
tile paralysis this year, but it may
come. The other diseases, however,
we have in great numbers each year.
Our need OF preventing them is still
greater than preventing infantile par
alysis, in spite of publicity the latter
disease is now receiving.
Every child with a common cold"
who shows any signs of feverishness,
who acts listless. whose appetite is
poor, is a suspicious character and
should be excluded from contact with
others. He should be put to bed, for
his own sake and for the sake OF 9TH
er children, until his temperature is
normal. And yet, one OF the most in
teIligent school teachers l know,
spurred with the desire of good at
tendance records and high scholar
ship, urged her children not to stay
out of school for common colds" IN
til she and her kind, and parents, gen
orally, come to have a better appre-
citation of the relatively greater value
of life and health, we shall continue
to slaughter and cripple our children
by contagious iseases-infantile par
alysis among the others.

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
SAVING TOTALS MILLIONS.

Nearly $14,oO0,O00 has been saved
TO the travelling public Of Oklahoma
since statehood by the operation or
fhe 2-cent fare law. During the ef-
fectiveness OF federal injunction,
when the railroads charged 3 cents
mile from 1910 to 1913, more than
s5 900 600 excess was charged and will
he refunded by the roads II the federal
eourt upholds the 2-cent fare law.
These figures are contained in re-
mort from Commissioner w H. Hum
phrey Of the corporation commission
to the legislature.
From statehood, November 10, l9V3'
TO the date upon which federal judge
granted an injunction restraining the
state officers from enforcing tine r
cent passenger rates 1910, the travel
ing public saved s7,S5s,2l415. From
the date Of the injunction to June 80,
1913. the rail roads collected s5,42o,.
1853 in excess of the 2-cent fare
From July /, 1918 to June 80. 1915,
the public saved ss,06s,312.7S, making
a total Of s13,s27,526.sS that the pub
lie has saved since statehood, with the
exception Of the time from 1910 td
June 80, 1918.
During the period Tie injunction
ras in force the railroads issued re
fund stlips TO passengers for the
amount of fare charged in excess q
cents a mile. On the refund slipi
was printed statement that in th'
event the courts held that the rail
roads should refund the amount In ex
cess OF 2 cents mile, the refund
would be made. Consequently If th'
state wins in the present passenger

something to let father know that he

idea of power was tho power his
father possessed. Father stood for
protection because there was nothing
that could harm when father was
near. Anything he needed TO know ne
went to father to learn. Everything
that puzzled or baffled was taken to
father and was never taken in vain
Father to the boy stands for love ane

sniration to do for others comes
IN the boy from seeing his father 90
for him. He trusted father whole-hears-
edly father could do no wrong ac-
cording to the childish view and as
the boy grows older, respect for faith
or and belief in his honor and in his
Goodness survives. The custom which
has only recently been started OF set-
ing apart day to honor father, is a
beautiful custom and one that should
continue to live.
We are indebted to the founder Of
christianity for magnifying the name
a. father by applying that name to the
eunreme Being. Father in scripture
;s used to give an idea Of perfect re-
,a,ionship and that Christ had NOT o
