VIVA RUSSIA IS
a MATTER or OPINION
From the New York World.

The trouble viii the resolution now pending IN the United States
Senate providing for intervention in Russia is that its preamble is
either untrue O misleading. 1t says that the Russian people want to
establish a republican form of government and are IN sympathy with
the aust of the United States and the allies, whereas most of the
known facts are to the contrary.
Nearly everything done and said in Russia since its armies were
disbanded indicates that the United States and the allies are in
greater dBfayor there than Germany. Now, as always heretofore, the
class conscious revolutionary socialism of Karl Marx has found in a
democracy of order and Justice more to hate and fear than IN Prus-
sian miltarsm, which las given the bcshevists a free hand in one
quarter while it gorged itself in another.
There is a sincere desire in the western world tohelp Russia, but
how is Russia to be helped if it is hostile to those who would go to it's
rescue. and who s to say that the poison OF Marxism which has
produced the soviet delirium is not as active among the masses who
applaud the sovets? The American commission headed by Ellhu
mad, that assistance from anybody except the apostles OF classlsm,
anarchy, confscation and Reputation was not welcome.
President Wilson is informed as to this situation, and no doubt
that is why he is in no haste to act. To restore Russia to independence
and open the way for a constitutional democracy would be a noble
task, but until the fever of Marxism has run its course there is grave
danger that an invasion would strengthen the hold OF the Lenlnes
and Trotzkys upon the country, or throw the greater part of it into
open alliance with Germany.

London, June 26.-World's Series
l922-London Teafighters VS.. Comis-
keys White Sox.
1t reads like a p~ipe-dream. but four
years ago this val would have sound
ed like a message from the padded
cell. SO. strange things may happen
in the mex four years.
For instance. John Bull may have
q ball club playing for the worlds
championship.
John is really taking an interest in
the g~randolgame this ear, learning all
there is to be known about it, for the
first time since Wallie Skinclothes
leaned his l1notted war club against
a falling persin1nlon. thus inventing the
pastsme. back in the days when high
society revels were staged in the tree
tops.
Eight American and Canadian ball
clubs are this seasons missionaries,
playing a full schedule as the Anglo
American league. Charity gets the i'm
mediate money proceeds but the peo-
pie promoting this circuit have the
ultimate aim of bringing England and
America closer together.
u course this object hac been sought
many times before. There have been
h1ghbrow essays, summer tours for
rural school mar'ms and outward Off
cha handclasps for years and years.
Sons and daughters of the idle rich
have done their bit by playing inter-
national polo matches and racing their
little yachts across the Atlantic for
Tommy Lipton's solid silver GROWER.
And up to the time we came into the
war the average Englishman and the
average Yank understood each other
like you understand a Chinese laun-
dry ticket.

English Team in World Series
Is Possible Result of War

BaSebalrs big success this year looks
like the real cure for the international
coolness~ that has puzzled Anglo
American we'll wishers since the days
of Neutrality-suspicious..
They like our slang over here, they
like Our movies. our jazz time songs
and even the English" styles for mems
clothes, fresh from the sweatshops OF
the U. S. A.
Eight thousand people, half OF them
IInglishmen, clapped their hands and
shcered with singular ack of restraint
as Admiral Sims stepped into the box
May IS. and opened the Anglo-Amert-
can league season by pitching the first
ball to MAJ. Gen. Biddle, commanding
American soldiers in England.
From that moment, through IL
wranglesome innings, they heard un-
dreds Of bIass-throated d~oughbies and
jacks uaravei Il vocal program that
brought back memories of the Polo
grounds When Tinker and Evers and
Chance were earning Charlie Muir
phys biggest dividends.
English people can't resist comparing
baseball to cricket any more than
Americans I'VE here can resist com
pairing shlllings to dollars. Cricket
really means more than a game. When
a Englishman wants to say another
fellow is absolutely square he just
says, He plays cricket"
With cricket in his system our Eng
lish friend thinks baseball a dull game
if It's played we'll. He wants to see
running n a lot Of errors. In other
words his idea of a good ball game
is our notion Of a bad one. But he's
farming.

Security and Oil Stocks.

Already many schcnlers are figuring how
they may employ Liberty bonds and Wa,
Savings certificates as a vehicle to helm
them sell their securities. One striking
example coming TO our attention Is an
offer made by the fiscal agent OF the Sc.
curity Petroleum company, OF New York.
Leonard A. Hughes. who, with the use OF
War Savings certificates contends he Is
offering investors an oil stock out of
which all risk has been completely eliml-
mated. He agrees for each 500 investors
LEND to the company to secure each in
weston with 500 OF War Savings certifi-
Gates costing $50. In other words what
Mr. Hughes really does is to sell an In
weston 100 shares of stock in the Security
Petroleum company for SIT, the differ
ence, and II the company fails to fulfiil
the confidence Mr. Hughes has in It Of
becoming a big profit Garner, the investor
eventually will lose this small sum. AS
the. investor buy War Savings certifi-
Gates at the same price MI, Hughes pays,
there Is no particular advantage In the
purchase through him. But when Mr..
Hughes contends that the risk is entirely
eliminated from the purchasetof stock III

the fact. for 81 out of zach $1OO IL and

WHO WANTS TO BUY 4
TAII,2

Who wants a nice modern Jail,
complete in every way?
For there's one to sell.
The following announcement re-
Gently appeared:
FOR SALE-A Jail, complete
with steel plates, bars and keys.
In good condition, but present
owners have no use for same
since town went dry. Write or
see City of Bristol Va, or Coun-
Gilman r. d. Smith.
Bristol it appears, has two bastiles.
1t doesn't need more than one. In
fact, it hardly needs one. So Coun-
Gilman Smith has been authorized to
sell this nice, complete hoosegow to
the highest bidder.
= Buyers of junk are consulting with
Mr.. Smith and leaving their bids, but
SO far as known, no city, village or
other municipality has offered to en-
ter negotiations for the Jail.
The fact is, as Prohibition ad-
vances, Jails are becoming useless,
and iron, steel and brass can be used
for so many other purposes.
Bristol must have good set of Of
ficials, for they do not purpose to let
their useless Jail rust and rot down
when there is such a good market for
the materials used in constructing
lock-ups.
Recently down in Alabama there
was a village which turned its Jail
over to the federal government to be
used for whatever purpose the gov
eminent might deem necessary, as
the village, being dry had no further
use for a calaboose.
Advertisements like the above will
be quite common in the next year or
| two.

Prohibition Crying Need
of Hour

As indicating that leaders oil

coming strongly TO the support OF

A. Yelverton, pastor of the A. M. E
Zion Church in Binghamton, N. Y.
wrote to the editor of Binghamton
paper is illuminating.
By some error the colored pastor
had been quoted as favoring the vets
and encouraging the colored citizens
to vote for saloons in the recent local
option election.
Rev. Mr.. Yelverton protests
agains. being aligned with the liquor
crowd, and writes:
I take this opportunity to state
publicly to all who know me that
as far as can use my influence,
or all that is in me, am for
Prohibition.
After living many years in the
south and west, and studying my
people and the effect of alcohol
as a beverage, and realizing its
hindrance to the spread of the
Gospel Of Jesus Christ, and to
the making of good citizens and
all other good causes, ! could not
be less than its enemy.
1t ruins our young men and
young women; it makes paupers
of others; destroys loving homes;
separates husbands and wives,
and increases the criminal class,
to the great detriment of all hui
mainly.
Prohibition, prohibition. is the
crying need of the hour for sue
cess in war, success in peace, now
and forever.

TEDDY BEARS FOR BOOZE
New York Booze Sellers Resort to
Many Tricks Whereby to Sell
Liquor to Men in Uniform

All sorts of triekery on the part Of
New York liquor dealers in efforts
to sell booze to soldiers have been
discovered and have led United
States Judge Hand to declare that
hereafter those who are convicted will
be sent to the penitentiary instead of
being fined.
Stomachs of teddy bears, paper
bags lett on mail boxes, taxicab rides
around the block at $3.50 ride and
cigar boxes passed over the counters
at cigar stores are some of the meth
DDS employed by the booze sellers to
serve booze to the men in uniform,
according to testimony at the arraign-
ment of 800 accused persons.

BEER IS TOO HIGH;
SALOONKEEPER QUITS

When David Edwards, of Edwards
vile, Pa, sold the last glass OF beer
from an allotment purchased just be-
fore the recent rise in price, he walked
to the door of his saloon and hung out
this sign:
Beer Is High; I've Cot to &c
Under"
Beer was raised to $12 a barrel
and in order to make living saloon
keepers would have to increase the
retail price to ten cents a schooner.
Other saloonkeepers probably will
follow the example of Edwards.

COLORADO DRY; POPU-
LATION INCREASING

ColoraqoS pcpulation is m
creasing, not decreasing, as
was forecast by the vets in the
campaign to make Colorado a
dry state. The present popula-
ton, based on figures obtained
in 63 counties, is 100000. This
is an increase of rs per cent
since the federal census in 1910.
In some of the counties the in
crease has been close to 100 per
cent. There is nothing to indi-
cate that passing out of the sa-
looms drove the people of Colo
RADIO to wet GASES.
