EDITORIAL NOTES.

When Henry Ford refers to that portion of the press which has tried to discredit him and the things for which he stood, he apparently doesn't think that all kicks are as good as a boost
 The man on the esrnsr says: It is a lucky thing for tho returning soldier boys that we are not approaching a leap year.
 More than enc can appreciate the position of the young lady who ex- claims "Oh. need another month to get ready fer Christmas" Norwich is being given holiday esrb which is certainly attractive and appropriate.
 You cannot jein the Red Cross without knowing that you are putting out dollar for a mighty good cause, It is no credit to ths isaders in the central powers to announce now that they knew in 1917 or 1916 that the war had been lost. The knowieds. was not used to hasten the end. | it is well to remember if war sav- ings stamps are given as Christmas presents. that the longer the delay ir exchanging them the more they vii, be worth. which is not true of al gifts.

with the Polish revolutionists. The press was put together in a small house in Wilma Only four peopel knew the place, SuikeWicz, Piisudski, Woj- ciechoWski and Debsli. Outsiders knew only that PiisIdski would arrive with out warning. bringing stacks of litera- ture, and then disappear with as little warning. He was a man of mystery. The press was not discovered for ten years despite great police endeayors.
 In 1896 the printing press was moved to Lodz. Poland. More people were in troduced into the organization. One man was shadowed and the press was finally discovered. PilsudsH was arr rested.
 Friends determined to bring about his escape. Escape from the citadel of Warsaw was impossible. PilsudsiSi suggested that he simulate insanity and so obtain transfer to the insane asylum at Tworka Books on the sub ject were srnuggled in to enable him to practice the symptoms. He played the part for a long time, and was on the verge of giving it up when the trans fer was announced. But the police were afraid to send him to any Polish hospital
 He was sent fo the asylum of Nich- olas, the Miracle Maker, in Petrograd. Here young doctor, Wladislaw Ma zurkewicz, immediately made applied ton for entrance. He was accepted and on May 13. 1901. he simply walked out with Pilsudski, Pilsudski then fled to London, his wife accompanying him In the spring of 1902 Pilsudski re- ] turned to Cracow. With the outbreak of the Japanese war he planned a rev l olution in Poland. He went to Lapar to negotiate for help from Japan
 passing through New York. Debsk was already here.
 Until Jan. 15, 1915. Pilsudski had
 refused to take money from the Aus
 trian authorities. He, officers and sol l diers subsisted on money collected b! 1 the revolutionary organization. Smal
 sums were raised by various means part of his plan to show Austria tha they did not need her help. But com
 plications forced him to accept tn aid.
 When his beloved Poland was finall, cleared of the last Russian soldier Pil sudski turned his attention toward tn
 still more difficult task of forcing ou the Germans and Austrians, with WhoI hitherto he had made common issue
 This conflict brought him into a Ger man prison fortress, from which he ha
 only recently been freed.

 The work by a prominent Chicago lawyer and publicist, was not written for partisan purposes at all, being a searchingly analytical study of the fundamentals of American govefn- ment in the light of present-day ten- dencies, it haS proved to be of ex- traordinary value as an exposition of the fundamentals of essential repub- licanisrn and as a statement of the life-and- death importance of political safety and sanity.
 The aims of Back to the Republic are "(1) To make clear the meaning Of the words 'autocracy.' democracy and republic; CD To encourage a more accurate use of governmental terms, and (3( To urge the import ance of avoiding the dangers of the extremes of both autocracy and de- mocracy, and the vital need of adher- ing strictly and literally to the fun damentals of, the republic" which is the one and only standard in the science of government, exactly com parable to the Ten Commandments In 1 the realm of moral law, the ten digits l in the science of mathematics. plono- Gamous marriage in domestic rel;- 1 tionships, etc.
 Back to the Republic calls US back | to the well-nigh forgotten but funda- mental and unacceptable truth that our forefathers saw @ great gap between a democracy and 8 republic, and that they expressly and repeatedly declared

Allowing Of course for the possibil- fly that the claim is unfounded that the American peace delegates are committed 10 the policy of sinking the German naval vessels which have been surrendered. Senator Lodge is never theless right in seeking 10 institute at this time an Inquiry to determine whether the delegates are actually sdvocatins what Is claimed and upon what authority they are doing so.
 When such a suggestion. as that of destroying the German vessels. was first made it was regarded as ridicu- lOus. and there has been no reason advanced since that time 10 cause q change Of mind. IL is preposterous to think of sending to the bottom these vessels the most Of which are of the latest model It would mean a waste of material suchSas no nation should be willing 10 approve.
 The plan is said to have been con- reivet because it would overcome the possibility of friction over the divis- lon Of the fleet. because the vessels do not correspond to the kind of vessels in, other navies and because upon the Ian suggested some nations would re- reive more than others.
 There is in fact no reason why a proper division coull not he made in aHnuch as there are other equally important questions which must be decided. The style of the ships doesn't justify their destruction and certainly the fact that one country would receive more than another is cnly what is bound 10 happen in con nsction with other settlements which are made

and restricting of others. it. became apparent that the south must turn it's attention to the raising of other crops. 1t didn't mean that cotton raising did not pay as long as there was a mak- ket for it but storehouses filled with cotton was not the equivalent Of fsod- stuffs and it was evident that south ern soil could be utilized as well as any other for the purpose of contrib uting to the food supplies of the coun- try.
 Forced to make the experiment it hasn't taken long to demonstrate that more than cotton can be raised in the south, and at the same time it has been realized that there is plenty of tillable land there for producing such crops without interfering with the growing of cotton. It has meant a big awakening for many of the states and there is no reason why the re-
 suits of the diversified crops should not grow bigger each year.

HOLD YOUR BONDS.

Ever since this country issued it's Liberty bonds. the treasury depart ment has recognized the advisabilitv of urging the bond buyers to hold onto their bonds This advice has al- ways been given in ihe interest of the owners. It Is therefore only what might have been expected when the new secretary soon after taking office puts forth a new appeal
 Heretofore inc appeals have been general that the people who have in- vested in the bonds may lose nothing as the result of the sacrifice which they have made in patriotically re- spending 10 the country's needs. very great many would not have made these investments under ordinary con- ditions. Some Of them would have spent their money for unnecessary things and have nothing to show for it today. Others might have invested it where it would have brought them !n a larger income without looking for as sound security and not a few would have spent part of it and bank cd the rest and this applies particu. larly 10 those who are not figured among the wealthy.
 But while retention of the bonds and not disposing of them in trade or luxuries has previously been urged Secretary Glass now points out tn, importance of not turning them ovei ip response to appeals from charita. ble organizations. This is not be. cause the organizations may not b, worthy but for the purpose of urging the permanency of the investmeu made and calling attention to the eff feet of dumping the securities on tn market The bonds should be hel, just as tightly as a savings bank bool for the good of the holder as well a the country.

THE CONTEST FOR SPEAKER.

Knowing that the republicans aye To be in control of the next session Of congress, two members Of the house have already announced their csn6i- dacies for the speakership and these two are the ones who have been ex- pected to lead of in that contest.
 If the choice should be made as it has sometimes been made in the past Congressman Mann from Illinois might be expected to get the place since he is at the present time the floor leader of the party. but it is in that connection that his action has failed to show up as favorably SIS it might have. There are the views which he has expressed and the stand which he has taken on certain mat ters in the past few years which in- dicate that he is not the man for the republicans to name, while there are lreasons for believing that the state of his health is not what it should le for one in that position. Illinois is giving him support and it is to be expected that he will receive other middle west votes yet it is not inl- probable that that section of the country may put forth other candi- | dates.
 New England is particularly inter- ested in the candidacy of Congress man Gillett of Massachusetts. man whose capabilities prove him the equal of Mir. Mann. His selection would give the house a great speaker and ht ! would he free from \the criticisms
 which have been made of the Illinois congressman in connection with wal matters. Mir. Gillett unquestionably
 has the confidence of the party. He if

: PoLAND'S HEAD LONG A MARTYR

Josef Pilsudski, lately appointed provisional president of Poland by the regency council, figure of mystery in many Polish revolutionary attempts, and hero of the people, has lived Graustarkian life, oyerilled with be- wildering political adventure, from early boyhood until his choice to lead Poland the new.
 PiJslldski was born in Lithuanian Poland in 1867 His father had suf- fered bitter persecution for his part in the revolution of 1863. The son thus inherits the mantle of revolutionary leadership He has never shirked the responsibilities of this leadership. whether against Russian or German oppressors
 Josef PiIsudski studied at the gym nasium in Wilma and at the university 1 in Petrograd. He was implicated in the attempt made on the life of Czar Alexander III on March 2, 1888, because l of his acquaintance with Dembo, Preker and others, who had planIfed it. Although he was opposed to terrorism and was only called as a witness, he was exiIed to Siberia for five years. He was sent to Kerensk, but was l transferred to Tunka, where he fell ill. l It was there he came to know the
 Russian spirit thoroughly.
 1 In 1892 he returned to Wilma. On l his way to Siberia the soldiers insulted one of the women political prisoners
 and the politicals started trouble. In the riot between them and the soldiers the politicals were badly beaten. lPilsudski always referred to this ex- perience as the most horrible in his 1 life.
 | On his return he characterized the Russians as anarchists in spirit and Incapable of republication"
 He got in touch with Polish leaders Iamong them Roman Dmowski, then a national democrat, and with the so- lcialist Poles. These he called "ro- lmanticists in their plans, but positiv- ists in action"
 Pilsudski lived openly in Poland until July, 1894, when he decided tG take up definitely politicaf work. Hf lstarted Robotnik, a secret organ Of tht Polish socialist party. The printing press was hidden in Wilma.
 r The small press was bought in Lon
 don by Debski, now editor of the New York Polish Daily Telegram. Its part: were sent through to Poland as agri- icultura1 machinery. This was alont made possible because the Russian customs official on the frontier worket

HE LESSON TO THE SOUTH.

It begins to look as if the south had laayned a valuable lesson as the re- sril of the past several years. This is indicated by the encouraging report which comes regarding conditions t1ere and the development underway or expected to, take place. What at- tracts special attention is the state 1ent to the effect that southern far- Tners will never again revert to the one product crop-ectton."
 Having learned their lesson the. slo- an of the southern farmers is going to be diversified crops" Cotton has heen the one thing in the past which ths south has known how to grow. The agricultural interests were bound up in that line of effort, but when fl became apparent that there was -mcre cotton than could 'be used during'th the early days of the warl through the shutting oR of certain foreign trade

 It's not the act of a paid man who is reimbursed for his efforts. It is true, heartfelt, sympathetic generosity.
 In short, they are ready and willing to do anything at any time, under any conditions. To tell the truth, would like to see my opinion in print, as a word now and then will give the peo-
