TO END THE BOLSHEVIK

The announcement that the Allies in
tend to send an army of $1,000 men to
occupy PetroGrad. indicates that The
long nightmare OF Bulsh"vili domination
in Russia is about to end. Tn" amazing
thing is that the Allies have waited SO
long TO take this action. From the first
1t has been apparent that the Russian
elements in sympathy with the cause Of
the Allies were inimcal 10 the Eolshovik
and were being Crucilrd by the BolShc-
vik leaders. The Bolsh"vik propaganda
itself has been aimed at the overthrow
of all orderly government. 1t has been
open war against society. and the Al
lied governments cannot. in Justice to
themselves or their people. permit that
warfare to continue. In eastern Russia
the forces Of Admiral kolchak have
made successful advances. whilo

AN ARBITRARY ACTION

For some reason not apparent, the
city administration has ordered the Lib
erty Transit company to move its wharf
boat TO the foot Of Eleventh street. The
foot Of Eleventh street is not accessible
from any point on the wharf and the
removal Of the wharfhoat 10 that point
would simply drive the Liberty Transit
company out of business. The Liberty
Transit company is composed Of Wheel
ing business men. It was organized at n
public meeting held in this city. Its
organizers attempted an experiment for
the purpose OF demonstrating their conf
dence in the possibilities of river traffic.
They have, spent literally Of their own
money in order to improve the transpor-
tation facilities. not only Of Wheeling
but Of the whole Ohio valley. 1t would
seem that a corporation organized under
such conditions should be entitled 10 the
most friendly consideration Of the au-
thoritics Of the city. Instead Of getting
this. however. they are being submit cd
to a bit OF arbitrary treatment which is
unjust and impolitic. The legal grounds
upon which the order Is issued are not
apparent to The Intelligence. II there
are such legal grounds. :h"y must he
hidden in some old record Of which no
one is Informed. but the absurdity OF the
action Is apparent.

Dear Roy-What all this hullabaloo about "Darbs"?
ITS a darb" is purely and. simply an Anticipated expression, once
used by showmen. It was in the vocabulary of the oldtime Snowman,
possibly since the beginning of time, and was discarded about the time
the Ringing Brothers came into prominence in the circus world, for
which all showmen are thankful.

in 1897 he was with the Lemon Brothers circus and that Frank Lemon,
