LOS DESTERRADOS DE SIBERIA.

Los Corresponsales de la Prensa Asociada que
acompanaron a los miembros de la Duma encar-
gados de ir a Siberia a anunciar la buena nueva
de la libertad a los desterrados por ell Gobierno
de Nicolas, relatan escenas tan dolorosas que la
imagination Sc resiste a creerlas. Y, sin embargo,

vida, a la libertad.

RUSSIA LIBRE.

Ell pals de las legendarias tiranias, del que STEM
pre- habiamos dido hablar con ell mismo espanto
que de ninos oimos la terrible historic de Barba-
Azul, aquel immense pals cuya extension nos
asombraba EN- los mapas, y del que nos llegaban
narraciones fantasticas, relatos extraordinarios;
una literature amargamente sombria, dolorosa
como una lamentacion, y una musica extrana lie
ma de entimentalism acre y exotico que nos eau
saba una imprason desagradable y sin en-
barge que nos atraia poderosamente de un modo
misterioso y parecia darnos nuevas nociones de
la vida; aquel pals del que conociamos muy POGO
Sc abre ahora paso, Sc levanta rapidamente g-
gante y nos asombra con una revolucion que tras
lorna TODD aquello que nos parecia inconmovible.
Asombrado ell mundo mira que la Libertad ha pc
netrado hasta aquellas regiones, que los que crei-
mos esclavos incapaces de redencion han roto
subitamente sus cadenas y quieren entrar de lie
no en- Ell concurso de los pueblos libres. Este paso
dado por ell pueblo russo es un paso de la humani-
dad entera, es grandemente significativo en- los
actuales momentos. La Russia de los Czares no
parecia bien peleando contra la Alemania del
Kaiser; la Russia Democratica esta en- su lugar ha
ciendolo. La libertad contra Ell despotismo. Los
pueblos contra los soberanos. Es por este que
nos parece que ell paso que Russia ha dado es un
paso de la humanidad entera. Una inmensa canti-
de hombres que Sc dignifica, que Sc enaltece, que
vuelve por sus derechos, es algo que tiene una in
fluencia muy grande en- ell future del mundo.

THE PLEASURE is OURS.

For the part which the Times-Re-
corder has played in comment on the
censorship of troop movements affect
ing the Albany Herald, we print in
another column on this page what the
Albany paper has to say under head
ing, 20, Thank You"
Yes, the pleasure is ours.
The military news which the Times
Recorder has been publishing must not
have met immovable young mentor
too, our own company, the regular
army and the navy are securing many
young men from their stations in this
city. But, for our part we would in
sist patriotism has been greatly re-
sponsible, and not our superhuman in
genuity as an editor to force recruits.
We regret our feeble ability, and
would suggest that the recruiting
Iproclivities of the Herald be engaged
in a still wider field.
Still, what has that to do with the
censorship which says in the regula-
tons. paragraph two: mo informa-
ton, reports, or rumors should be pub
lished which tend to disclose (a)
movements or employment of armies
and their subdivisions. ="
Yes, it is great to know that we are
neighbors to such a giant in the realm
OF human conduct and powers in the
awakening of patriotism for recruits.
We too, offer our thanks for fate has
been kind to place US in the vicinity
.of such powerful stimulus.

THE CANNED GOODS CRISIS.

Besides the planting of foodstuffs,
there is the proper care of the harvest
and the utilization of the fruits of the
field. This comes in pointed crisis
over canned goods. In another part of
the Times-Recorder today, we are pub
lishing an editorial from the Atlanta
Constitution on the situation 1t is for
the enlightment and encouragement OF
the people of this section.
This great work can be accomplish
ed through the activities of the wo-
men. The Times-Recorder respect
fully suggests the cooperation of the
various women's organizations of the
city and county. Already, the federal
government with the local authorities
assisting, are carrying on the canning
club work among the young ladies OF
the county.
The matter is of urgent importance
L means more than accomplishments
in social activities-for the success OF
the nation during the coming year in
the production and conservation OF
foodstuffs is life itself.

THE SAME OLD STORY.

It's the same old Teddy who would
command a division and Immediately
embark for France, there to raise the
Stars and Stripes over the first COM
mand 70 American troops to set foot
O? foreign soil in the European war to
enter actual combat Teddy is there
with the same old Il" stuff. And it
wouldn't be Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt without the 81" Why, Teddy is
the African hunter; the explorer; the
adventurer; the discoverer of the "Riv-
ell of Doubt"
The latest statement from the inim-
liable former president hearkens to
the days OF San Juan Hill. And with
out shading a single star in his "war
record of 49," we would remember
that some historians fail to give Teddy
such a prominent place in the San
Juan engagement. In fact, the where
abouts of Teddy while the hottest part
CT the battle waged is uncertain-ex
cept for Teddy's own testimony.
The American people can pass upon
the willingness of Roosevelt to fight
and his fitness as to knowledge OF
military affairs can be gained from
those who should know But, Teddy's
passes his credentials to Washington
in this way:
'As to my fitness to command
troops in the field, respectfully
refer you to my three immediate
field commanders in the Cuban
campaign, Lieut.. Gen. S. B. M.
Young (retire0, May. Gen. Sam
Summer (retired) and Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood. In the first fight
of the campaign, the Guiasimas
fight, / commanded first the right
wing and then the left wing of the
regiment. In the second, the San
Juan fight I commanded the regi-
ment. I ended the campaign in
command of the brigade"

THE PROWESS OF THE SOUTH.

The south has been singled out as a
great factor in the war between the
United States and Germany, and to
this section plea from President Will
son comes as a saving grace for the
nation, the cause of the allies, who
fight for humanity and civilization
with an unyielding desire to witness
democracy as the bulwark of the gov
ernments of the people of the earth.
THE supreme test of the nation has
come. We must all speak, act and
serve together" These are striking
epigrams from the address of Presi-
dent Wilson issued to his fellow coun-
tryman.. 1t is his plea which must
work wonders or ruin our nation, and
the cause for which we have flung the
gage of battle.
But to the south the president turns
in his remarkable address made
through the press:
81 particularly appeal to the
farmers of the south to plant
abundant foodstuffs as well as cot
ton. They can show their patro-
tism in no better or more convinc-
ing way than by resisting the great
temptation of the present price of
cotton and helping, helping upon
great scale, to feed the naticn and
the people everywhere who are
fighting for their liberties and for
our own. The variety of their
crops will be the visible measure
of their comprehension of their
national duty"
The announcement is made that the
Business Council of the Chamber of
Commerce will unite with the entire
membership of the body at their reg
ular meeting Thursday night in a
study and discussion of the foodstuff
situation. A prominent speaker in the
government work will be present. We
can do no less than give heed and join
in cooperation. The man behind the
plow-share has greater responsible
ity than the man who trains the screen
of organized artillery fire across a
barren waste aimed at an enemy of
our happiness.
The Times-Recorder has worked I'M
ceasingly in the interest of producing
foodstuffs at home. This is no new
plea from us, only reiteration-this
time approved by the government of
our land Hog and hominy has al
ways been our slogan.
During the past month much space
has been devoted through our pages to
ADVICE and urgent pleas to the farmers.
1t shall continue, and we hope ard
pray that it will bear fruit.
