With the unrest that there is in the country today. with the dangerous doctrines that are being advanced to 'infiane the people and with member of the senate declaring that the offices and branches of the federal trade commission are honeycornbed with radical socialists. anarchists and bol- Snevists IL would appear to be time to make such an investigation as Senator Watson calls for relative to this com mission
 If what the senator alleges is correct there are others than w Z Foster who are boring in" and they are following his method of doing it, with the idea apparently of eating away the props of government for the purpose of under mining it And if we read Senator TTatson's statement right it is not solely in this commission to which he calls special attention but in other de- SACtments of the government as well f1at this same class of radicals is to he found so much so that he was as founded the number of is adher- ents in office and the very solid man ner in which they seem to be in- trenched in our governmental affairs"
 This represents a pretty state oS af- fairs when efforts are being brought To bear to keep out Of the country a class Of undesirables and at the same time put out those who have man aged to get in It is bad enough to have them carrying on their work out side Of government circles. among the aliens and others who can be inter eStec in such dangerous opaganda hut when it gets to the point where They have gotten into branches of our government it is certainly time to sit up and take notice and look to our proper protection

Among the material sold recently to German dealers was 2,000,- GOO pounds of candy of a kind not particularly in demand among the Am erican soldiers

BRINGING HOME HE DEAD.

More confusion seems to be created by the announcement of the war d. partment to the effect that the bodies of American soldiers now buried abroad in England. Belgium. Italy, Luxemburg and Russia will be brought home. During the early part of the war parents and relatives were told that the bodies of those who fell or died would be brought home to rest wherever the families desired. Soon after the war ended the matter was brought up again and the department began to point out the difficulties that would be involved. the possibility that identifications would be difficult or impossible, the fact that many would not seek to have the bodies brought back preferring that they should sleep where they fell and the claim France was desirous that no bodies be moved for g considerable period. not even those of Frenchmen. except it be from temporary to nearby permanent ceme- teries.
 But strange as it may seem none of these excuses are being offered re- garling those who have been killed or who have died outside of France What cannot be understood is why there should be the discrimination. The bodies of those who died in five countries are to be brought home. Those who died in France are to be brought home only if it is requested.
 There are of course many more sleeping in France than there are in tho other countries but it is certain that those who gave up their lives in France were just as dear to their rela- tives as those who paid the price somewhere else. In justice. however, to all concerned it Is only right that there should be no distinction drawn re--arting where the sacrifice was made as to whether the government will proceed to bring the bodies back. It mpv seem to be simple matter to -ecuest the return of the bodies but if such gets no more attention than many e. the comr71unications addressed to trc government nothing would ever be

NOT THE WAY TO GET VILLA.

Even the people of Mexico have req son to wonder what is coming next from Carranza in his efforts to put Villa out of business. In spite of all that he has done the bandit leader is still in existence. still defying the head of the Mexican republic and ap parently able for all that Carranza is doing to live and keep his gang to- gether-
 The latest ukase by Carranza is di- rected to the people of Chihuahua who are ordered to leave their homes. their farms and interests and assem- b1e in certain concentration centers within that state. It seems that Car ranza has been told or has come to the conclusion that Villa is getting his livelihood off of those engaged in ag ricrftural pursuits by appearing first here and there and taking what is needed. and he intends to put a stop to it.
 It is of course a worthy ambition that seizes the head of the Mexican government but it Is the way in which he intends to carry it out that gives +n~ most concern Ordinarily it would l,a expected that he would utilize such forces as he has to run down the willy bandit. that in fact he would have cooperated long ago with the United States instead of trying to eaik

ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL WEEK

This week has been designated as Roosevelt memorial week for the pur- ncse of giving opportunity to all in the country who may desire to pay trib- ute. high and lasting to the memory of Q great American We'll has it been decided that there will be no drive in connection with the raising of the fund that will be used to perpetuate through memorials the name of one of the greatest Of our presidents No such solicitation will in fact be re- GuIred- for the work and service of Theodore Roosevelt in behalf of his country. in behalf of a better United States. and the high ideals of citizen ship that he set forth are sufficient to call out the contributions of his friends and admirers for this object
 The death of Theodore Roosevelt was a severe loss to this nation. Hardly a day passes but what the wish is voiced that he were alive to- day when the country needs the fire and enthusiasm Of his unalloyed pa trfotism and the rugged and inspiring strength of his America nisn. But there is his example before us. His spirit still lives and will continue to live as a lesson in true blue national ism
 But the memory of such a man should not be allowed to lapse in years to come and it is proposed by the Roosevelt association to first inn prove the land that has been given at Oyster Bay for Roosevelt Memor- ial park. thereafter to erect in Wash ington a monumental memorial that will rank with. those standing to the memory of Washington and Lincoln and also to establish a Roosevelt so- ciety or foundation to carry on Col ouef Roosevelt-S spirit of America n- ism and perpetuate and keep alive the uncompromising patriotism of which he was so essentially the exponent.
 Such a movement is one in which there cannot fail to be widespread in terest and as extensive as is the in terest there is reason to believe wiH-be the participation of the millions who will want 10 have a hand in this great and conmendable undertaking.

Horrors of Typhus fn sfbsria.

E Horrors of Typhus fn Siberia. | (Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
 In a letter from Omask. Siberia. Miss Charlotte Boardman Rogers, of New York city, who was on the west ern S,ont when the Kolchak armies re- gently evacuated number of cities, writes pitiable story of the hor- TOTS of typhus which she personally observed as d nurse of the American iSsd Cross. Under date Of July 20 she says : = hell. Our train, was stalled st the i railway station of Petropavlovsk, Far Western Siberia,. and somewhere to the west of us the Red armies were coming on.-
 ,"To the right of us, left of us. rear of us, were typf1l1s fever trains of box cars, passenger carss twenty five, thirty. even thirty five cars to a train and all loaded with men from the tals, with hundreds-thousands of pa- tients dying of the dread disease.

They lay ofi rough board shelves erected around the sides and ends of the cars; or on the floor where even cattlemen wou1d have placed So santarg agiaS Were ss zap piled: the patients clothes were stain ed with filth and blood; their feet cak, ed with mud and fiianure:. their bodies alive with little gray typhus lice-fhe plague of Siberia.
 Cheek bones protruded through their yellow skin. eyes sunken into their sockets. hands like birds claws stretched out with cups for water. they lay all day in the sweltering heat.
