FOR AMERICANS ONLY.

That Leon Trotzky. Bolshevik War
Minister. has been proclaimed dictator
of Russia and arrested Premier Lenine
will not cause any great amount of
grief.
When rogues fall out honest men
may get their due.
The offense of Lenine is given as
forming coalition with the Menshe-
viks radical minority.
Mensheviks are a minority because
they are moderates. Any savoring of
moderation is hateful to Trotzky. His
action is notice to the world that the
red terror must go on.
Local interest attaches TO the news
ID because of the announcement from
Washington that there is a definite
plan to round up and deport all the
alien Reds" in the United States, and
that the departments of labor and jus
tice are cooperating in preparing a
list of every person in the country who
has been drawn into the Bolshevik
movement, and t2) because of the as
sertion that the Soviets being formed
here are educative. benevolent and
with no Bolshevik faint.
In this connection it seems well to
recall the words of Colonel Roosevelt
read here only last Sunday night in a
letter TO the American Defense So
ciety:
There can be no divided allegiance
here. Any man who says he is an
American but something else also
isn't an American at ALL We have
room for but one fiag-the American
fiag-and this excludes the red flag.
which symbolizes all wars against lib
erty and civilization just as much as
it excludes any foreign flag of nation
to which we are hostile.
I'VE have room for but one language
here. and that is the English language,
for we intend to see that the crucible
turns our people out as Americans, of
American nationality, and not as dwell
lers in a polygot boarding house; and
we have room for but one soul loyalty,
and that is loyalty to the American
people"
These words gather significance and

tenn of betting, which the Hagers-

der the control of the fair associa-
ton.

16 classes, was held yesterday aft
ernoon for the first time this week,

being for cash and ribbons. Valu-
able prizes, including silver cups

TRAIN IN FINAL
TRIP OVER ROAD
Lancaster, Oxford and South

Up at Once

Lancaster, Pa, Oct. 16.-The fast
regular train chugged over the Lam
caster, oxford and Southern Rail
road yesterday. The road will he
torn up and the material and rolling
stock turned over to the purchasers,
S. M. Foster, of Baltimore, and Able
& Co, of Altoona.
The day marked the discontinue
ance of a road that has had assooi=
ated with it many interesting and
historical events. Residents OF that
section who once were greatly hene-
fitted by its accommodations, view
with a degree of sadness the passing
of the train. The road has been IN
operation since 1875.
AS a protest to it's consignment to
the junk heap, the little locomotive
pulling the morning train in jumped
spread-rail and went samboling
up the sidetrack and kicked up
blazes generally. Fortunately, it
landed right side up, and it was said
by one of the passengers that no
one could distinguish from the
easy riding when it was off the track
and when it wasn't. None of the
passengers were hurt and the train
was not damaged.

mendations made in the report of
the president, the Rev. Frederick G.
Gotwald, were reported upon favor
ably by the committee on the presi-
dents reports at the session of the
West Pennsylvania Synod of the Lu-
theran Church yesterday. Principal
among these recommendations not

The Rev. E. G. Miller, secretary
of the board of ministerial relief,

more; 5000 a year for dependent
widows of ministers of the church,

SUNDAY ROOTERS

Coaching and Hodting at Um-
pire Brings Game to End
in Adams County

New Oxford, Pa, Oct. 16. = BY
public advertisement the citizens of
this town, especially the younger
generation, are warned that playing
of baseball on Sunday is prohibited
and those found guilty of the prac-
tice will be punished. The cause for
the protest is the fact that games
have been indulged in on the Sab
bath day by some of the boys so
close to the Lutheran church that
the shouts due to the excitement of
the game annoyed the worshipers
in the church. When the game is
going on the cries of the players on
the coaching lines endeavoring to
get another run across the home
plate or the hooting of the umpire
have made 1t hard for the congre-
cation to hear the sermon being
preached by the pastor, the Rev. Will
bur Allison.

Little Juniata creek that once was
20 feet wide and from six to eight
feet deep now has become but a
babbling brook as 1t flows onward
through New Bloomfield to meet the
Susquehanan river at Duncannon. In
years gone by the boys of Perry
county could swim in it's waters.
Now they may cross it without wet
ting their feet. Springs on either side
OF 1t made it terror at times and
fishermen who cared to sit on its
banks on summer days often went
home with long strings of big white
suckers. In late years the springs
either have dried up or selfshly
emptied themselves in different
channels. Many New Bloomfield
residents remember when as boys
they disported in its cooling waters.
Now 1t scarcely has six inches of
water.

celebration was the great success it
proved to be. The fact is that his
success attracted the attention of
neighbors who drafted him into scrv-
ice to make other similar celebra-
tions notable. A Lykens citizen who
had been disturbed because he had
been told some people were worse
than others went to Mr.. Burlington
for his opinion. Mr.. Burlington -
he said, with some feeling, after
mentioning several people he knew
and held up as good citizens, ''isn't
it true that one fellow is rs good
as another?" YES" exploded the
lawyer, "and quite often a darned
sight better"
