Land at Russia's Throat

In Russia the land question has
been at the root of the Revolution, as
was the case in the old French Revo-
luton. If you study the history of
other nations than our own, you will
see that the struggles for the better
ment of the common people have in
variacly hinged on this question. Our
own Revolution mechanically freed
us for the time being for there were
countless millions of acres of free
land in the West that provided an
outlet for the landless in the East.
Now however our acres of any val
ue are practically absolved and land
# any value to the emigrant can no
longer be found. The young man who
,cquires maturity is quite as impair
tant a consideration as the newly az
rived emigrant and is present in far
rreater numbers. We face extreme
social disorder if We neglect TO povide
or our returning army. The men now

which he himself was constructing,
and unless you think ahead you will
see no sign of the coming trouble.

Join the Chorus, Do!

More of our citizens should join
Madame Wheeler's War Community
Service Chorus. As American citi-
zens our sympathies and friendships
must forever hereafter be with Eng
land, France, Belgium and Italy to
say nothing of our other Allies. The
Germans and everything German will
perish and be loathsome to all liberty
lovers, so much so that even the name
German should be eliminated from the
map. And we should strive to forget
that such a system of Government
ever existed.
No one nowadays dares to converse
in German on the street for fear Of
public sentiment, and this laudable
feature of American opinion must be
cherished. Any one who wants to
live as German should be sent back
to Germany, or where Germany was.
Immediately the war is over, and
made to stay there. Now all you fell
lows don't crowd. Take your time.

law such stress on the land and taxa

their respective parties are absolutely
mum" On these questions, Why:
Secretary Lane has communicated
with President Wilson telling him
that the unused lands must be brought
into use in the near future but how
much better to bring the valuable
unused lands into use by the simple
expedient of reducing and then abol-
ishing taxes On improvements and in
creasing the taxes on unused land to
corresponding degree.
You cannot do this, however, under
our present Constitution, because we
do not recognize the birthright of
every man to the land, and the neces-
sity of automatically providing en-
ployment to every one that seeks a

FOOD ADMINISTRATION ACTS
Pork Is Permissible az Substitute

With the increase In the number a

the necessity for the United States
Food Administration to issue call to
the volunteer soldierly spirit Of thoaD

Atlantic, men and women, to limit their
consumption of beef.
Secretary Baker of the War Depart

the United States, within short time,

fighters abroad, and there are as many
more in environments at home, with

attended the conference Of those off,

"Since the discontinuance Of the

ers have thought the necessity for
meat conservance was past. While
this was the case temporarily on ac-
count of the lack Of shipping facilities.

make it necessary for the people Of
the United States to reduce their meat
consumption to certain extent
'The meatless day has not been -
established, but meat conservation
should be practiced In every home. For
the present the supply Of pork prod
ucts Is better than the supply OF beef
and poultry, but where possible the

The Hippodrome

the public for the first time On last
Thursday night, captured the local
critical body to man. The review

phrases expressive of their unmixed
delight and admiration at the fourth
overwhelming success in Charles Dill

all agreed, that the scale of pictorial
beauty, Of comedy, of novelty could
mount successfully through four such
productions as "Hip, Hip, Hooray,"
1.-THE Big Show" "Cheer Up!" and
Everything" but the improbable had
been fulfilled again as on two prev
ious occasions. There was nothing
left to do but marvel.

Germans Lower Than Monkeys


Man was made little lower than

made themselves good deal lower
than the primates, (monkeys) for no
decent self respecting monkey would
be guilty of the outrageous tom-fool-
cry of German logic, as ememplified
in their attempts to brighten the
world by their studied atrocities and
their contempt for their signed pledg-
es.
They have withdrawn from the
Western front the absurd Crown
Prince and the little more tolerable
Rupprecht of Bavaria, but now two
Generals have come to take their
places who will be evenmore disas-
