In Some Town Over There Is Baby
Who Can Live If You
Say the Word
By BRUCE BARTON.

sometimes picture it to myself this way. 4.
Suppose that somewhere down town in New
York, or in Chicago or St. Louis, there were a
huge auction room, where the lives of men and
OF little children were on SALE
Suppose that every day the auctioner's red
flag hung out as sign that on that day so many
men were to be allowed to die; so many women;
and so many little ones.
Allowed to die, just for the lack of few dol
lars. Just for the want of the little sum that
would ransom them.
Suppose that were the case, say to myself;
could possibly stay away? Is there any argu-
ment could give to myself that would keep me
from going there day after day, and buying with
all my power? Buying men and women and
children at that auctioneers block, with the dol
lars that would mean life to them?
Its not very pretty picture; yet compared
to the pictures that l have seen from stricken
Armenia and Syria, and all the empires of the
Near East, it is almost beautiful
For men and women and children are dying
over there-dying for the lack of sums that seem
pitifully, miserably small. u..
| am not rich, and have all the little worries
that are common to us middle class folks. Wor-
ries about next years income tax; and about
the future of business, and where my income
will 60 to if such and such things take place.
But l have worse worry than that. The
worry for what my conscience will say to me-
if in this hour of the worlds tribulation do not
do my share
The worry lest in my ears for the rest of my
life there should be the cry of man, or woman,
or little child whose life might have saved
For they are crying over there today stretch
ing out their weak, tired arms. And it's mar
vellous thought to me, that modest as my income
is, it's big enough to let me save the life of one
of them-big enough to give me man, or
woman. or child who will never cease to be
thankful that did my part. .es
They are waiting for our answer over there:
yours and mine: A poor stricken man broken by
the war; and a woman, weak from her struggle
and terror; and baby who can live and grow up
into useful manhood or womanhood, if only you
say the word.

BoLsHEvIsM TRANSFORMED

Recent reports from Russia indi-
cate. a surprising transformation on
the part of the Bolshevist govern.
ment. The leaders are no doubt, at
heart, the same brutal, bloody, in
tolerant gang they were from the
first. But while continuing to talk.
their violent iargon, breathing fire
and flame against the 'capitalistic"
powers, they have changed their
methods surprisingly. Their radical
language seems to be kept merely to
hold their ignorant followers in line.
In practice, they have departed from
Bolshevist principles and turned
their government into sort of mid
dle-of-the-road socialist state.
Thus they have given up two main
purposes Of the original movement.
They have stopped trying to turn
the land over to the peasants and
the factories over to the workmen
to own and run as they please. The
bourgeois" class, formerly robbed
and hunted to death, has been well
coined back to influence and power.
Finding that ignorant employees
could not operate the factories, rail-
roads, banks, ETC.. the government
has invited their former managers
to manage them again. To keep up
the Bolshevist fiction. these capital
istic citizens are called peoples
commissaries." But they are really
running things, riding to the office
in their automobiles again, and
treated with respect.
The army has been enlarged and
subjected to real discipline. Many
of the old officers are back in au-
thority, and the privates salute
them. That army is said to be a
power to reckon with.
These facts, as yet too little
known in the United States, explain
good deal in the attitude of the
peace conference that would other
wise be puzzling. The allies do not
want to have anything to do with
the Bolsheviki, whether in their
original state Of wickedness or trans
formed into a semi-respectable So
cialist republic. But they are sorely
tempted to make the best of bad
business, in order to escape the bur-
den Of forcible intervention.

Daily Health Talks
| WORD ABour rME KiDMEYs
nY poCroR wATsoN.

People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may be; but few people understand
the dangers of diseased kidneys, These
organs have duty Of vital Importance
10 perform, and il they are diseased,
there is no telling how or where the
symptoms may appear. The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify IL. When the kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one OF these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid Is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in tho form OF urate
salts - in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back - often forming bags under the
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's
disease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in.recent
years, discovered that certain COM
bination OF remedies would dissolve uric
acid (urate salts) in the system. He
found this combination to be harmless,
so that he made it mp in tablets,
Of double strength, apd called them
Anuric Tablets, They dissolye uric
acid in the human system as hot coffee
dissolves sugar. II you have uric acid
troubles, don't delay in taking Anuric
Tablets, which can be secured in the
drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what to eat
and how TO live 80 that more uric acid
will not form in your system. DR.. Pierc,
will not charge for this advice.

Appropriation slash SSritsANssr q
Iowa Senator. 50 y

Washington, July 2.-Revolt began
in the republican ranks In the senate
yesterday asa result OF the merctless
slashing of appropriations for measures
favored by the progressive faction.
Senator Kenyon, OF IOxa, led the In.
surrection. Aroused by the action OF
the conferees on the sundry civil bill
in throwing out the provision for =
budget system. as well as the pruntng
Of the appropriation to continue the
United States employment aervtccs
the Iowa senator vcheniently assniieds
.'old guard leadership" and accused II
OF trying to torpedo without warning"
practically every progressive item In
the bill.
Many democrats lined up with the
progressive republicans. Senator War
rem, OF Wyoming. chairman OF the
senate appropriations committee. ana
Senator Smoot, Of Utah. who had
charge Of the measure, made little
effort to defend their course, beyond
laying the blame on the clamor In the
house for rigid economy.
When the conference report was put
to a vote 1t WAS rejected by an over
whelming chorus OF noes" and In
structions were given for the restora-
| ton Of the senate amendment.
One Of the amendments stricken out
| by the conferees provided for the crea-
ton OF a commission to devise a buS e.
ct system by Dec. I. An approprV-
| tion Of $4,000 was provided for Its ex-
pense. Senator Kenyon was the nu-
| thor OF this amendment, and its elim-
| ination particularly aroused his Ire.
This measure has just passed
| thru the submarine zone said Sem
ator Kenyon. 'T think the time has
come to find out whether theSsenate Is
doing the legis!ating or whether X -
being done by little. group OF con-
ferees."
Senator Smoot insisted the house
| conferees would not permit the budget
plan to stay in the bill. The position
taken by the house confercts was that
there was no necessity for further IN
yestigating Of budget systems and that
the Kenyon amendment would only in-
volve delay.
| Senator La Toilette, Of Wisconsin.
supported Senator Kenyon's position
AND demanded the rejection of the con-
ference report. He was indignant over
the reduction OF the employment SER
vice appropriation to $200.000. one e-half
OF what the senate provided.
! Senator Robinson, OF Arkansas, denl-
ocrat. charged that the action OF the
conferees was In direct defiance OF the
wishes OF both houses. While the
house had not had an opportunity to
vote directly, on the employment ser
lyice appropriation. 1t had gone on rec.
ord in favor OF continuing the service
by an almost unanimous vote. he said.

Washington, July with the begin
ming today Of a few weeks recess Of
congress. 1t seemed assured that SEN
ate opponents ofsthe league of nations
would abandon any plans for a formal
senate declaration on the subject be-
fore the fight for actual ratification Of
the treaty began.
Until the recess plan was suggested.
1t had been the apparent proposal Of
opposition leaders to make an effort as
soon as the appropriation bills were
passed to bring some senate action in
advance of presentation of tine treaty.
For this purpose it was said the oppo-
sition would press the resolution of
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania. to
serve notice of unwillingness to- accept
the league covenant as an inseparable
part Of the treaty, and that Of Senator
FALL, republican, of New Mexico, to
declare q state of peace with Germany.
& Straight Fight
1t is now expected that the treaty
will be presented as soon as the recess
Is over, and that both OF these resolu-
tions will be consid idered then to have
outlived their usefullnesA
The general prediction Is that from
now on 1t will be straight out and
out fight over unqualified. ratification.
In general the opposition lines were
shaping on the basis Of ratification
reservations suggested by Elihu Root.
