A party of county officials from one
of the coal-mining districts of Penn
sylvania went to New England upon a
junket. Included among the tourists
was the newly elected sheriff, large,
solid, self-minded man, who hated to
walk when he could ride.
When the party reached Portland
he was in state of exhaustion. After
a morning devoted to sightseeing the
visitors sat in room at the hotel,
planning fresh excursions for the aft
ernoon. The sheriff rested upon the
bed. He was favoring his feet.

Control of Moscow by Radicals
Causes Gloom.
Russian Washington Embassy offIc
laIs Refuse to Believe Government
BY Fanatics Can Stand.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The linger.
ing official hope that Kerensky could
re-establish the old provisional gov.
eminent was badly shocked by reports
that the peace radicals control Mos.
cow.
But Russian embassy officials still
refuse to believe the Maximalist-Bol
sheviki movement will succeed. Its
temporary rise to power will mean
bloodshed and counter-revolutions
they declared. A political policy built
upon theoretical and Utopian princi.
pies in the midst of this war cannot
permanently endure, according to the
embassy.

Such Proof as This Should Convince

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none strong.
err can be had. When a man comes
forward and testifies to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would
not do so. Telling ones experience
when il is for the public good is an
act of kindness that should be appre-
ciated. The following statement
given by a resident of Madison adds
one more to the many cases of home
endorsement which are being pub
lished about Doan's Kidney Pills.

commission which visited Russia, who
Is here or a lecture tour, said: The
deposition OF Kerensky, II true, ia
largely due to Misrepresentation in
this country through German influence
and propaganda"
When Kerensky limited that Rus.
STA might lay down and quit the war,
he was misconstrued.
"Kerensky meant to warn, not to
threaten. He did not mean to say
that Russia would quit the allies.
What he meant was that she might
be forced to quit the allies II she did
not get proper support.
Will Still Count.
Although she is racked by inter
nal d~issension, she is still holding
three million German, Austrian and
Bulgarian soldiers in action on the
eastern front"
Russell compared the Maximalists
OF Russia with the I. w. w. In this
country and declared that they have
no more chance Of controlling Russia
than the /. w. w. has Of controlling
this country.
They control Petrograd, and are
very strong in Moscow, but In other
