President "a 1E1e Farmers Union
Asks Important Question.

Dear Sir: After one has lived 40 or SO years
he has been surprised many times that he loses
the ability to be surprised at anything the human
animal may do. But now and then we see things
that arouse in a wonder that such things can
be when practically everybody agrees that they
ought not so to be.
For example: Go out over this State, talE
with the people and with the legislators, and a
large majority will agree that We ought to have
the Torrens Land System something similar
for registration of land titles; that we urgently
need Free School Books, at least School Books
at cost; that the initiative, the referendum, and
the recall would greatly strengthen us in our
governmental affairs; that improved system of
taxation is a vital necessity.
And yet, We get none Of these things. People
and Legislators alike agree that we ought by all
means have these things, but year after year
passes by, legislators come and go, but none Of
them are given us, while other States and other
countries are moving forward along these lines.
[ cannot refrain from asking questions for some
one wiser than / to answer: Why is this the
case? Have come to the point that no measure
however meritorious however much needed
can be passed unless a strong lobby is on hand
to pass it through? Must we have a peoples
lobby at each session of the Legislature Or has
our governmental machinery grown so cumber-
some that it refuses to act? Certainly some fell
cry, for it does not work, How are we going to
get 1t out, and who is going to do the work? Shall
small minority be always permitted to block the
wheels of progress?

ST. BARTHOLOMEW READY FOR MAILING.
We are now ready to fill orders for The
Massacre Of St. Bartholomew. In view Of
the fact that the Lutherans are to celebrate
this year, the four hundredth anniversary Of
the Reformation Of Martin Luther, this book
will be Of unusual interest.
In graphic form is given one Of the foulest
deeds laid to the Roman Catholic church.
The assassination Of Coligny, who had gone
to be the wedding guest at the marriage OF
the Kings sister, to the Duke du Guise, was
black enough--but to have it as only an in
cident Of the most horrible religious
slaughter recorded in history, makes it more
appalling.
This book Of sixty three pages, carries be-
tween its paper covers, more actual history,
in graphic form-illustrated with acutal pic
lures from the Roman Catholic churches, and
from the Vatican itself, commemorating this
most horrible deed, than one would think
could be in SO small space.
Send for our complete book list, if you are
interested in the things that are now shaping
history in this country, and you will realize,
perhaps as you never did before the danger
there is in letting Roman Catholicism secure
any greater control in this country, than is
now given it. ALICE LOUISE LYTLE.

SOCIALISTS AND SOCIALISM,.
The daily reports from Russia continue to
be lurid; the recently emancipated Russian

with no comprehension Of what it gives also

pire seems to be hazardous
If the average Socialist could divorce him
self from Anarchism, he would be able to
make the world more in sympathy with him
The German and the Russian Socialist of this
century, has developed under the absoluteism
OF military rulers; he has become obsessed
with the idea that only by violence, can the
wrongs he has suffered. be righted
Fortunately, IN Russia-as ia Germany.
there are few brainy men and calm women
Of the new party, who might. If given the

saddle, and it would seem that more bloody
history will be written in Russia before the
sane and sound policy Of true Republic will
be given a chance.
Read Mr.. Watson's book Socialists and

 Overcrowding is described by the re-
 port as the basic cause. To control the
 spread of these diseases the general

BAKER ORGANIZING
 NEW WAR COUNCIL
[RepubIlcan A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Secretary Baker today moved forward the argan- iZation of his newly created war council by relieving from their present duties three of the five officers assigned to that body. This will leave them free to devote all their time % the councils task of co-ordinating ali war depart ment activities in such a way that the time heretofore believed 10 De necessary for the sending to France of any army of sufficient size to insure the defeat of Germany will be materially reduced.
 MT Baker announced that Major General George w. Goethals had been recalled to active duty and would be- come acting quartermaster general, re- leasing Major General Sharpe for ser vice with the council. Major General Weaver will be relieved by Brigadier General Barrette who becomes acting chief of coast artillery. UnG Major Gen eral William Crozier, by Brigadier Gen eral Charles Wheeler who becomes acting chief of ordnance.
 General Bliss, chier or staff and Ma jor General CroWder. the other officers on, the council, will retain their pres ent positions, the former as chief of staff and the latter as judge advocate general and provost marshal general General Bliss retires December 31 for age, but probably will continue on the council.
 | Mr. Baker indicated in his last war review that the Russian armistice has made it necessary for the United States 1 to accelerate its war preparations. The gap in the allied ranks vacated by Rus l sia must be filled promptly, many of- | ficers here say. if the general situation shall continue to show a balance of
 actual, as well as potential power in
 favor of the United States, and the
 allies when the summer campaign
 reaches it's height in 191S
 Secretary Baker would not discuss
 today General Bliss successor as chief
 of staff, except to say that a recent re- | port that General Pershing was to be
 recalled to fill the post lacked foun- | dation.

WASHINGTON, Dsc. 1S.-The ad- minstratiOn bill authorizing the secre- tary of the treasury to purchase SlO0,- 100000 uf farm loan lHlnds during the next fiscal year was adopted by the senate today without d record vote, after it had been am ended so as to eliminate authority for d similar pur- chase next year.
 Immediately after the vote, the bill was sent over to the house with a view Co action there Def ore the holiday adjournment. After some discussion, however. the house postponed consid- cration until January g.

 The farm loan system was attacked hy some senators and defended by others. Senator McCumber declared the trouble now eXper1 enced came from the system itself and asserted that loans have been made on land in excess of it's value.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. tS-An al legged plot to effect a secret treaty be- tween Germany and emma whereby the former would~ protect the latter from all aggression for per:od of five years if China forces were sent into India to aid proposed revoiut.on there. came to light today in the trial here of number of Hindus and others charged with conspiring to SC; up revolution ary government in Ineia. The treaty was to have been effected in 1916.
 Details of the supposed plot were outlined in code messages purported to have passed between Dr. C. K. Cha kravarty, one of the Hindu defendants, and committee of German officials and others in Berlin. Copies of these messages in the original and decided form were introduced.
 The message relating 70 China de- clared that Ii Yuan Hung, who suc- ceeded Yuan Shi Kai as president, was In sympathy with the Hindu cause and might consider a treaty with Germany which would promise aDsoiure Chinese integrity in consideration of China active participation in the revolt
 Charred remnants of so-called Hindu revolutionary literature burned on the island of SocOrro, in the Pacific ocean, after the steamship Maverick, which was said to have transported revolu- tionists from San Diego, Cal, had been searched by British and American war ships, also were presented in evidence. The remnants divided interest with a prosecution presented and which was identified by Haraharan Das, gov ernment witness. This was similar to hymn book of the Industrial Workers of the World.
 William Jennings Dryan's discourse on British rule in India was in the lit- erature destroyed by the Mavericks s crew on the island, according to Das.

WAR IN BRIEF
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

Various reports continue to come from Russia with regard to operations of the revolutionary and counter revo- lutionary forces in their struggle for supremacy, but out of the maze it is impossible to gain an accurate idea as to which side to the controversy is in the ascendancy.
 Meanwhile, preliminary peace discus sionS between the Bolsheviki represen- tatives and delegates of the Teutonic allies are in progress at Brest- -Litovsk. The real negotiations, having in view the bringing about of peace and the consequent retirement of the Russian army as a belligerent against the Teu- tonic allies, are expected to begin next Tuesday.
 The German and Austrian foreign ministers, both astute politicians, are speeding toward Brest- -Litovsk to take part in the barley, and in the bat tie of wits which will take place it probably is not outside the realm of reason to infer that the Teutonic al lied representatives will not be at a disadvantage in dealing with men of the calibre the Bolshevilli will have present to plead their cause.
 On none of the battle fronts, except that in northern Italy, are military op- erations of great magnitude ensuing. Heavy snow and bad weather gener- ally have brought the, fighting almost to a standstill on the western front in France and Belgium, except for small encount&s by outposts and reciprocal bombardments.
 On the Italian front around Monte Solarolo, the Austro- Germans again have taken up a vigorous offensive, throwing their troops against the Italians with the usual fierceness of attack, disregarding the losses in flicted upon them. The Rome war office reports that the enemy in his latest attack was complete repulsed.
