All well and good, says the patriotic
citizen, why shouldn't they?
No reason excepting the old, old one
of taxation without representation, for
which a former war was fought.

1t Is a Great and
Grand Parade That Is
Marching Home in Russia

A scene is to be witnessed in northern
Asia such as this old world has never
before beheld.
1t is a procession of fifty thousand
sledges loaded with men and women
from the mines and convict settlements
of Siberia who are freed by the downfall
of Russia's autOcracy.
These people are mostly martyrs TO
their opinions.
They thought or acted too strongly for
the cause of human freedom, but now
they are on their way to their old homes
in a free country, their own country.
The worlds war is unparalleled in its
horrors. but who, looking upon this null
titude of people restored TO home and
freedom, shall say that the war is with
out great compensation.
Millions of Jews restored to manhood
and the miserable, enslaved hordes Of
Siberia on the way home!
When the anger whipped Adam into
the wilderness to earn his bread by hare
labor, there was still the mercy of Goo
In 1t.
This war is not all hell when, thru it
a hundred and ninety millions of people
step out into the sunlight of freedom
with full opportunity TO progress.
No more shall Russians who dare tc
think Justice. equality and liberty stag
ger thru the snow, with hopeless faces
turned toward the Siberian blackness
with the lashings of brutal drivers OF
their backs.
Today the long trails to that hell in
the far northeast are crowded by ar
endless procession of smiling, singing
glorying ex-slaves, bound for home.
And the arch-fiend of autocracy is un-
der lock and key.
We rejoice with Russia.

How to Write.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crsnsl

We don't like book that tells Us
something entirely new; we like a book
that tells as what We already know.
The object of writing is not to impart
information but to stimulate the readers
mind.
The most read book in the world, and
one of the oldest, is the Bible. II is
priced because Of its moral instruction.
And yet every moral truth in il was in
us also. II utters humanity.
Within us float myriads of dumb half-
convictions, nebulous ideas, incipient
convictions, partly glimpsed enthusi-
asms: The writer is appreciated who
makes these vocal and clear.
When you read thing and lay it
down and excaim, "Therel That's what
| have always thought, only | could not
say II, you have paid the author ons
of the greatest compliments.
Straining after novelty is sure to lead
to bad writing perhaps to literature"
and one who starts out to write "litera-
ture" is rather sure TO write nonsense.
The best ideas in the world are the
old ones To make them new and vi
brant with life is art.
The most interesting thoughts are
those that are the commonest property
of all men; not the rare, unusual, NOR
bid. or bizarre. If you can find out what
everybody feels, and can say it for them
IN lucid terms, the souls of all readers
leap to you
The wisest man in the world is Every
body.
The unframed and ungifted writer
seeks for strange and outlandish sub
jects. yet tells of them in the old banal
forms You must have originality, or
rather personality, in your style, to-
gether with universally in your theme
Personality in style is gained only by
rigorous loyalty TO yourself. You must
avoid the worn platitudes, the faded
types of expression, and write succinctly
in your own language.
In style there is no master. II must
be your very own, the flavor OF your
own life
To write well, therefore. first listen to
mankind, know people, appreciate and
understand the commonahty, for here
are the deep ever fresh springs Of eter-
nal human interest.
Second, when you see the truth clesr-
~ write il down in your own way, as
simply and forcefully as possible.
Add TO these infinite practice, mo day
without line" just patient, hard work
and perhaps you can learn 10 write.

We cannot understand the attitude
of some well-meaning individuals and
newspapers who persistently and, it
seems to US, viciously attack almost
every measure adopted by the Wash
ington administration. The claim be-
ing so often made in certain quarters
that the American people do wish
this war is true in a sense, for no
sane man desires to have war. 1t is
a gruesome business. But those indi-
viduals who are condemning our being
in this war are enemies to our coun-
try, if not actual traitors. We are
in because our self-respect, our moral
obligation and the stern demands of
duty compelled us to go in. And the
heart of the American people is in
this struggle, if we mistake not. 1t
is well enough to look for the car
marks of the adverse criticisms we
read. "There is reason"

Mr.. B. F. Aston, Jr, requests us
to again call attention to the fact
that the Union Chamber of Commerce
has on hand a large supply of tin
cans which are being sold at cost, thus
inducing people to can fruits and veg

farm is less intense, and the fruits
and vegetables are everywhere in
abundance, it is high time to can. Can

with complacency upon the high
