1t would scarcely be becoming on
his part to parade his loyalty. To tier
ate and reiterate, to proclaim as from
the housetop, his Americanism might
arouse, or perhaps justify "a measure
of doubt.
Hence, this man, and others like
unto him, must pursue the even tenor
of their way, unmindful of Jabs and
pricks, during a period when national
sentiment is running high and when
merely to have been born elsewhere
than in America invites criticism and
gives rise to suspicion.
1t is only to those whose actions or
words or associations afford reason
for the lemnt of doubt that terms
of approbrium should be attached to
citizen.
Our shores have been wide-open to
the foreign-born of most nationalities.
We have extended to them the hand of
friendship, demanding only that they
be clothed with responsibility. We
have absorbed the blood of many ma
lions. All that we have asked, and
all that we To- ask, is that this blood
shall be diffused as that of the true
American; that those who come to
live with us shall become of us, I'M
that they shall be true to the prici-
pies which American manhood and
womanhood represents.
Those among them who are not for
us are against us and should be cata-
iogued as %disloyal, not because of their
origin or their place of birth, but be-
cause of their disloyal spirit and dis
loyal thought which are bound to be
manifested in some form or other.
But the man who, without display,
daily treads the path of duty, notwith-
standing more or less sympathy with
friends and kin in the "Fatherland,"
has a right to expect us to regard him
in a spirit of fellowship.
Hon. N. g. Knight has notified his
friends that he will again be a can
didate for the Office of commissioner
of school and public lands. He is
now serving his first term. Mr.. knight
is a resident Of Hamlin county, is
among the pioneer farmers of the
community, and has shown painstak-
ing ability in the discharge of the
duties of the office. II he is not chos-
en- again for the place. it will not be

ton, for It is universally admitted
that he is faithfully administering the

RUSSIA QUITS.

Germany, the bolsheyiki have decreed
that the war ceases. The Russian ar
my, if there can be said to be such
ar organization, has been ordered to
disband.
The %bolshevik government, there.
fore, appears to have accepted the
theory that Russia's weakness consti
tutes its chief element of strength
in the controversy with Germany
Even the German soldiers cannot have
the heart to fight a people who are
already down.
We here in America, having lived in
the full enjoyment of the pursuit of
liberty and prosperity and happiness
for a century, can have NO adequate
conception Of the situation in what has
been known as the Russian empire.
The bolsheviki, which we have been
inclined to compare with our L. w.
w. came into power when the chaos
of Russia could not have been more
chaotic. There was no
we may say Conditions were as bad
as they could be. For a thousand
years the Russian peasantry had been
subjected to the Vaccinations of au-
tocracy. Graft and pelf seemed to
be the rule rather than the keep
ton. The autocracy was overthrow.
kerensky, upon whom Russia's allies
placed a measure of hope, proved to
be a disappointment. He was not
equal to the task which he assumed
Then followed the usurping of
power by the bolsheviki. Bad as we
think it to be, bad as it may be, bad
as it is, it can be nc worse in it's
way than was the autocracy which the
friends of Kerensky overthrow.
To understand clearly the Russian
situation, to judge comprehensively
the bolsheyiki, to estimate ADEQUATE.
ly the so-called Russian
we must place ourselves and our coun-
try in imagination in the condition in
which the bolsheviki found the Rus
sian empire. Those of us who are
breathing the atmosphere of political
and individual freedom and who are
reVeflng i'll the glories of sself-govern-
ment, find it difficult, indeed, although
not impossible, to draw just conclu-
sions from the maze of conflicting emo
lions arising from a study of Russia's
internal affairs.
And when We try to imagine our
s~elves-in Russia, surrounded by chaos,
ground beneath the heel Of oppression
for g%enration upon generation, elk
ing out a bare existence for cen
turtles, contributing much from our
little to sustain profigate princes and
au~tocratic nincompoops, we become
lost in the maze Of conflicting emo
lions.
Hence, now that Russia is out, the
best we can do as a nation is to keep
hands off the Russian situation. Let.
Russia work out its own salvation.
1t must find its own Moses to lead
it out OF the wilderness. We cannot
lead it because we cannot compress
ourselves to its level.
If the bolsheviki can become worse
than the autocracy which preceded It,
may God have mercy upon the souls
of such AS Lenine and Trotzky!
