GERMANY'S PRESIDENT

From the New York Herald.
 r is pleasant to note that in his tenn
 porary asylum at Amerongen the
 fugitive Kaiser has been kept fully informed concerning the provisions of a treaty of peace that places in formal rec ord the extent and magnitude of his own downfall The fact chronicled in cable dispatches. that the Hohenzollern ad- vised the signing of the treaty by Ger man commissioners Is of interest prin- cipally, however. because of the light it throws upon conditions in Germany and upon the character of the so~called German republic"
 The Kaiser onca boasted that if Ger many became a republic he would be it's first hereditary president" If not yet in narne, he is in fact the recognized overlord of the something at Wein1ar still the all highest in the eyes of Ger man politicians and the German people just as clearly as he was when he or dered them out to make a reality of his dream of world conquest. At every stage of the peace negotiations the fugitive Kaiser has been consulted by those who are pulling the strings and by the puppets who have been placed in office by them.
 Of all farces which the great war brought into existence that German re- public" is the most glaring and the most transparent. It contains not an ounce of democracy or republicanism. There caH be neither republicanism nor democ- racy in any land until its people think for themselves The subservience of the gers to the house of Hohenzollern proves ali that has been said about the German

OAD NAMES FOR NEW DRINKS
 Philadelphia--Dry as the dust of sa- hara though the country may go, the lat- eat guides for the thirsty produced by the vendors of safe and sane drink offer many allurements to the man who has . vivid imagination and lives in pleasant memories
 As he turns the pages setting forth the compounder's art. all the familiar names with pictures of glasses he expected were soon to be placed on the shelves of mu- ssuns. and liquors of every color in bot ties with slittering seals. glide past his eye in massed formation until he thinks he has seen the Fountain" of youth again.
 There gro cocktaila Manhattan. Martini, Bronx. Blue Moon. Cucumber, Orange Blossom. College Widow. La Hola, Cuc- koo. Bamboo and all the rest. There arc hssss o< silver and fisses of gold. Bruns- wick and Boston coolers, Grenadine and sunburst hishballs. and sherry. port wine and grape juice Hips. But things are not what them seem.
 To the close observer the word '1son- intoxicating" written beneath the names of drinks to which no suspicion has at- tached in the past cause a raising of the eyebrows and . muffled sigh. A trip to the counter will confirm the suspicion that the mixoiogist however skilled he may be. is but . deceiver and that the names. once full of inspiration. are now but empty words.
 notwithstanding beverages. the soft drink vendors say their compromising depart ments have gone to considerable trouble and expense to produce drinks which

WANTED-A CONvIvAL DRINK


 From the New York World.
 The demonstration made by promin- ent xestaurant-keeper of the possibilities of invention in dsvising seductive sub stitutes for alcoholic beverages eeems to have been great success except on ono point. -The imitation cocktails. hiehbails, uoueurs, etc. deceived the eye and the palate of the imbiber but they failed to fool the subconscious sense which reg isters degrees of alcoholic exhilaration. They were good to look at and to taste but they did not cheer the inner man

Thay may be '1ust as good" in all other respects. and better as regards the sc- sense of reaction following stimulation But the problem will remain of supply ing an acceptable substitute for the d. coholic content
 National prohibition, >f course, win of- fer spur to invention of this kind such as 1t has never had under the free con- sumption of liquor. There will bs wealth beyond the dreams of avarics for the man who can concoct . soft drink which will have stimulating properties. which will conduce to conviviality without drunkenness.

| < < Bolsheviki Are Pouring Money Into America

TN HE government is making pre- U parations to deal more firmly than ever before with anarchists and other law breakers who now consti- tute a menace to our national insti- tutions. Large additional appropria- tions for the department of justice have been recommended, and legisla- tion continuing permanently regula- tions now in force for the purchase, storage, manufacture, sale and dis tribution of explosives"
 Francis P. Gavin of the department of justice bureau of investigation, says: "We have found in the short time we have been at work that con- ditions are quite serious throughout the country. We are asking two mil lion dollars and we have every req son to believe that the Russian bol- sheviki are pouring money in here at the rate of that much a month."
 The department of justice has in formation that an organized effort is being made to destroy the federal governmet. Since the armistice was signed the number of radical papers found in the mails has increased over one hundred and fifty and department of justice agents now have to read and digest more than four hundred and fifty radical publications. This fact alone is sufficient to show that the movement is we'll organized and plentifuIly supplied with money.
 It is by no means reassuring to know that the Russian bolsheviki, whom we have been repeatedly told are tottering to an early fall and pre- sumably have their hands full in try ing to maintain their government in Russia are able to spend such large sums for spreading tbeir pernicious doctrines in America. Worse still, there are many deluded, so-called American citizens who are lending support, financial Snd otherwise, to bolshevism. +.
 Given the means to round up agi- tators and speedily deport them as soon as they gre found dangerous to the peace and welfare of the United States, the department of justice will be able to put a stop to wholesale agi- tation. Deportation of the leaders would soon discourage the rank and file. New York, Chicago, Paterson, N. J., and other cities are hotbeds of anarchy. Too much leniency in the past has permitted the growth of law lessness that is striking at the foun- dations of the American government.

Offer Farm Lands
 To Returned Soldiers

.NONGRESS should acquire cut W over lands and offer them to our returned soldiers at small prices and on easy terms.
 Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane worked out feasible plan a year ago. He had survey of the situation made and submitted report to Congress with practical recom- mendations.
 He stressed the fact that no great nation at the end of . triumphant war ever failed to do something for its soldiers on being mustered out of service.
 But Congress has done nothing. Our expeditionary force has been re- turning fast from Europe. In few weeks virtually all the troops will be back on American soil. Perhaps not half of them would care to own la farm and follow agriculture for . living. But those who would be eager to acquire farm home should be of- fered the opportunity. Whatever is to be done by the gov |ernment for the service msn should be done speedily.

Tomatoes Plentiful

 The tomato crop is most promising and from all appearances the public will not suffer next winter for cucumber pickle, ,' said John Herman. a well known truck farmer of East Lake. 'I brought my first tomatoes to town Saturday and sold them for $2.1 per basket I understand they retailed for cents a piece. The rain we were blessed with Saturday helped the tomato crop wonderfully. I am prone to believe that We will have the larg- est crop in many years. Also I have never seen the like of cucumbers. There is no reason why people will not have canned tomatoes of their own next win- ter. They are going to be plentiful Gu cumbers are the same way. Apparently there will be goodiy supply of pickles on hand"

 When Dr. P. G.

Home of the big lumber com panies and owners of large tracts of cut over lands were beginning to preach and to practice diversification and live stock raising. but the movement had not reached anything like its present prcpor- tions there." said David Holt, publicity man for the Alabama centennial comrnis. sion.
 The recent visit of the Alabama edi . tors to Andalusia, Lockhart and F1orala opened the eyes of many members of the state press association to what really IS going on in that section in the way of raising hogs. cattle, poultry and food crops for man and beast They are do- ing wonders in that part of the state and. in my opinion. . good measure of the credit for it is due to the Tnterna- tional Harvester company propaganda, followed as it has been by systematic diversification preachments in the mora progressive newspapers"
