Russia a Republic.

The proclamation of Russia as re-
public is not unexpected though in view
of the difficulties that have been e1-
perienced since the revolution it is with
p distinct sense of relief that the word
is received. OF course, solid foundations
for a stable republican government are
not laid down by mere proclamation.
1t Will take something more than a
formal declaration to make a republic.
There must be determined spirit Of
unity among the people, a resolution to
carry through an organization, an
ability to overcome reactions.
That Russia has survived so many
trials since the revolution is now dis
tinctly encouraging to those who hope
for the maintenance of q true republican
government there There has been a
steady succession of crises. perhaps in
evitable IN view of the sudden transfor-
nation from the most absolute autocracy
10 the most unrestricted liberty, even Ii
cense, of thought and action. There
lave been wrangles between factions at
1'etrograd. attempts at secession in out
living sections of the former empire.
German intrigues and wholesale bribery.
q collapse of the military machine III
the face of the foreign enemy, a restora-
ton of military discipline, ministerial
changes. an imperialistic plot, formida-
ble revolt by large section of the
army, headed by the commander-in-
chief and its speedy defeat. Now comes
the republic.
1t is impossible to know and measure
all the forces that are striving in Rus
sia toward the end of free government,
forces antagonistic in some respects and
yet In union in the essential aim. That
there are also forces of reaction making
for the restoration of the imperial power
is plain. German intrigue is still active,
seeking to throw the republican factions
against one another and thus to under
mine the whole republican structure. not
merely as measure of weakening the
war power of Russia, but to prevent the
evolution upon Germanys borders of
democracy, the success of which might
affect the German people in manner
unpropitious for the government at
Berlin.
At present a new menace to the Rus
sian provisional government appears in
the possible detection of the Cossacks,
whose leader, Kaledfnes, sympathized
with the Korniloff revolt and is now
under order of arrest. Should the Cos
sacks take a stand against the provi-
sional government it would face a crisis
perhaps more serious than any of the
others that it has successfully and sue
cessfully met With each new trial. how
ever. the organization gains strength,
and every month that it prevails over
its enemies, domestic and foreign. it in
ereases its chances of endurance and
permanence.

Diplomacy.

Night as well be kind and gentle
In the things you do or say,
Even slightly sentimental,
Till You have TO change your way
When you catch shifty party,
Speak to him in tones poEte.
Even give him greetings hearty,
But-iiand it to him right.
If you find it is your duty
To condemn a man for crime,
Speak in phrase of simple beauty.
Save your temper and your time
Do not add a single wrinkle
To your brow as time takes flight.
Give your eyes genial twinkle;
But-Hand it to him right

'THE CALL OF THE MOCKING
BIRD"

Lend me your ears and | will tell.
you the note
/ heard from the depths Of a mock
ing-birds throat.
This strange feathered songster, in
his haste to initiate
Has failed completely, a song OF his
own to make.
First the soft cooling Of a dove to It's
mate
In notes so like that, does the
mocking-bird relate.
And the harsh rattle Of a Thrush,
in the leaves
Is brought to our ears in the soft
autumn breeze.
Needless who he's mocking-not
caring for a friend
He boldly sits in view-and scatter4
music to the wind.
Dressed up in a waistcoat Of grey,
that is so bright
He echoes back the words: Bob
Bob-Whitel
"
And all the while he mocks, and
answers and betrays-
The birds of the forest-not az
customed to his ways.
Now listen, Mister mocking bird
Did it ever to you appeal
That you are a mockor, the mocker
of the field?
V
And consequently, you have no
Song-no song that anyone knows
No song that you yourself, hwas the
bird that it composed
You'll live all your life, and die
and go below
Cause you are a mocker-and you'll
go where all bad birds go.

SELECTION OF HORSE COLLAR
Close Attention Must Be Given to Pre-

Simple Process.

In order to prevent gals and more
serious conditions 1t is not enough to
give close attention to the selection of
the collar. The shoulder of the horse
should always be washed and given
special care when the animal is at
steady work. If the selection of the
collar has been properly made and all
other things In regard to this piece of
harness looked after, the care of the
animals shoulder is simple process.
Under these conditions washing the
shoulder with soap and pure water
after the harness has been removed

ough drying the parts by rubbing it
with clean cloths, is all that is neces-
sary.
