A NEEDED INQUIRY

Those native Americans who are going about
lecturing in favor of the Russian Bolshevists
speak very persuasively. They report having
spent a few months in Russia, refer to the tales
about the barbarities of the Bolsheviki, describe
Just what they saw with their own eyes and this
altogether repudiates the reports Of American
,onsuls or other government officials cOndemnlng
the Eolshevists and their tyrannical methods.
Some of these are likely to be searchingly ques-
toned now that Governor Smith of New York has
authorized a special session of the Supreme Court
grand jury o. the State to investigate Bolshevist
activities in New York, including the Rand School
If Social Science and the behavior of the so-called
Soviet Ambassador.
Such an official inquiry seems to be highly
desirable, for the people are being disturbed by
the two utterly different and antagonistlc ac-
counts of Bolshevism that are offered them. 1t
appears to be a question of veracity between
notwithstanding propagandists and the govern
ment's representatives. The average citizen is OF
course disposed to trust the latter, but after listen
ing to a persuasive propaganda he becomes dis
turbed in mind. The inquiry should be strictly
fair, however, and it is well to remember that re
volutionary doctrine thrives on suppression. There
S more danger to be feared from the denial OF
'ree speech than there is menace to America in
he extension OF Bolshevist opinion, the propag-
!nda of which in peace times would not come under
the head of punishable crime. The chief need is
@ lay bare and establish the truth beyond cues
lien. and this the government ought to be able
o do.

HAVE EVER MADE
BEST INVESTMENT
CONTRACTOR WOULDN'T TAKE
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR
GOOD TANLAC DID HIM.

II just want to say right now that
l wouldn't take five hundred dollars
for the good hat first bottle Of Tan
lac did me, for l feel like it has given
me a new lease on life," said c.. E.
Nelson, a contracting carpenter, liv-
ing at 7728 63rd avenue, Southeast,
Portland, Ore, recently.
Following a serious accident four
months ago." he continued, (which
laid me up for eight or nine weeks,
I lost my appetite, and my stomach
got all out of order. What little 1
did manage to eat would sour and
form gas, which would cramp and
pain me until l could hardly stand
1T. Then my kidneys went back on
me, and my back hurt so bad l couldn't
find a comfortable position. They
said l had rheumatism or 'lumbago,'
then my right leg, below the knee,
got to hurting me, and at times l
couldn't stand on my feet or get up
when down. l was constipated all the
time and suffered a great deal with
headache. Nobody knows how l really
did suffer, because l just can't de-
scribe it, and as nothing seemed TO
do me any good l had become dis
I%couraged about my condition.
II finally SEN down and got a bot
tie of Tanlac, as l had read Sc much
about it, and it was about the best in
vestment l wei made. My appetite
lcame bounding back after my first
few discs, and by the time my sec
ond botle was gone, my stomach
trouble was almost gone, my stom-
ach trouble was almost gone, too. l
am now eating any and everything l
want and it don't hurt me the least
lbit, and my kidneys and back are
ITreatly improved. At the time 1
lstarted on Tanlac l had to use cruteh-
les in order to get about, but I don't
need them now at all, and have thrown
them aside. I have gained several
pounds in weight, and can just feel
myself getting stronger every day. 1
have gone back to work already, and
/ never lose an opportunity to speak
q good word for Tanlac."

From Fridays Daily

Mrs. Alice P. Henderson, one of the
most beloved and noblest women of

period and her death was fastened by
grief over the passing away of her

husband, Mr.. Alex Henderson, n

year later by Mrs. Harry Hulen, a
daughter. A few months ago., Mrs.
George Myers, was taken i'll while on
a visit to her mother mere from Ha-
vana, Cuba, and died suddenly. Since
the death of the second daughter,
Mrs. Henderson failed rapidly in
health and last Saturday her rela-
tives and friends realized that the end
was near.
Mrs. Henderson was born in Church
Hill, Miss, jefferson County. Before
her marriage she was Miss Alice
, Calvert Payne. She was baptized in
the Episcopal Church there and has
been a life long Christian. She came
with her husband to Leflore in 1881
and they resided in the Runnemede
plantation. In 1911 they moved t.
Greenwood to reside and she ha:
lived here since that time.
Mrs. Henderson is survived b!
three grandchildren, Frances Hulen
!, daughter of Mr.. Harry Hulen and
son and daughter of Rev. Myers, be
sides a number of other relatives
She was a sister-in-law of DR.. I. H
Henderson of Greenwood. Rev. Myer
of Havana Cuba was with Mrs. Hen
derson at the time of her DEATH
