Sonora Phonogrdph
Clear AS a Bell

THERE is one monograph which is chosen
when heard in critical comparison. 1t won
the highest award for tone quality at the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition. 1t is
the Sonora.
For what qualities is the crown of success be-
slowed?
Not for loud claims and hollow words, but for
proven truth
Not for outward merit and inward lack, but
for solid worth
Not for apparent excellence and surface gilt
ter, but for thorough value which time has tried
and not found wanting.
Before you purchase your photograph, hear
the Sonora. 1t will give to you, to your family and
friends, years of the keenest pleasure, entertain
ment and enjoyment.
Prices Range from $50 to $1,000

It's loneliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet

Recognition for Kolchak

Paris now reports decision to recog-
nize the Kolchak government in Russia.
The reverses which Lenine has suf-
fered recently have doubtless inclined the
peace conference to look more favor
ably on Kolchak's claims. His govern
ment has maintained and extended it's
authority. 1t is firmly established in
Siberia and in large part of eastern
Russia. The Archangel provisional gov
ernment has conceded Kolchak's priority
as the representative of the all-Russian
movement to overthrow Bolshevism. The
Cossack Republic is also cooperating
with the Omsk regime.
kolchak held the Ural front all last
TALL and winter in spite of the with
drawal of the Czecho- -Sovaks He is
now advancing rapidly to and beyond
the Volga. He says he can take Moscow
this summer. He ought to be able to
DO so easily if the Firms and Esthonians
recover Petrograd and the Allied and
Russian forces in the North drive the
bolshevlsts in that region back to
Vologda.
Inc Omsk government has pledged
itself to the election of a national con-
sutuent assembly. 1t is a government
OF order, but democratic Lenne's GOV
ernment is one of disorder and thorough
~ undemocratc. Between the two no
real friend of Russia or Of the Russian
revolution can hesitate to prefer Kol-
chak. His temporary dictatorship could
not be anything but clean and wholesome
compared with Lenine's.
The United States has shown a re-
markable vacillation in dealing with
Russia. Prinkipo and the StefTens-
Hullitt mission were extreme manifcsta-
t'ons Of policy Of indecision and nc,.-

instnctively, quite as Mr.. Fabre's bugs
do, in the vast majority ofsmatters. The
room for chance in human decisions
and actions is as wide as the sky-and
right here is where luck, or something
very like it, may have its fling
Reaching a decision to fly or not to
fly; to take the 500 in the morning or
the 7:44; to eat shrimps for lunch to
make any one of the hundreds of de-
cisions we all make daily, and by which
the fates of nations and humans are
determined, can be done confidently,
with every nerve alert, with every
faculty aiding; OF it can be done duly,
sombrely, with the fear of failure on
the chest. What we have in mind is
not the product of success, but very
large factor in the making of success
Interest in life, in a job-of flying or
anything else--is prime source of this
keenness, this subtle sense of the mo-
ment. 1t breeds itself, to be sure But
in the beginning it is an essential part
of character; it feeds on failure, it
swallows disappontments Justify, it
takes every fresh chance with relish.
All life is an adventure. Man has never
invented a game to compare with it,
This is not science. But there is
much in life to bear it out. There is
nothing in the scientific theory of the
universe to deny it. Who knows but
that some day the psychologists will
know more about human instincts, and
the whole method by which subconcious
decisions are reached will be expounded
Luck may then be analyzed and charted
and planned Not yet, however, or soon.
We still dwell in a gay and incompre-
hensive old world with hop-off in every
moment for each of us-and stray steam
ships waiting at the appointed cross
roads if only we have the sense to guess
the right turning.

Parlor Benefactors

At meeting in Madison Square Gar
den, addressed by list of speakers
whose names have become familiar in
connection with various agitations
which have given pleasure to our ma
tional enemies, the names of President
Wilson and Premiers Clemenceau,
Lloyd George and Orlando we're Kissed.
The disapproval was because of the re-
fusal to recognize the soviet govern
ment of Russia and to take the murder
GUS bands of Lenine and Trotzky in
warm friendship.
The favorite orator of the occasion
seems to have been the Rev. John
Haynes Holmes Mr.. Holmes presented
himself as a high authority on matters
Russian. 1t does not appear that he
has been there or that he has read to
good advantage the information of
those who have been. Yet he knows
some things with great definiteness; for
example, that the Bolsheviki command
the trust of 80 per cent of the Russian
people. No free election has been held.
Bolshevik bayonets chased home the
only representatives of the Russian peo-
pie who have been freely elected. Yet
Mr.. Holmes knows what the Russian
people want. The light of his inner
consciousness burns with so bright and
creative light that he does not need
to bother to find things out by pains
taking processes.
And Mr.. Holmes has exact knowledge
of why the others refuse to recognize
Lenine and Trotzky. 1t is not because.
as Secretary Lansing declared, they are
at the head of an outlaw organization.
Not bit of it. You can't fool the rev.
erend gentleman. 1t is because the Boil
sheviki published the "secret" treaties.
This filled so gross an imperialist as
President Wilson with rage that he cut
them off
Truly, those who oppose Bolshevism
and all its works have reason for
thanksgiving. They are highly blessed
in the character of the opposition they
encounter. The parlor Bolshevist is
entitled to some sort of monument that
Bolshevism passes into nothing and
is remembered merely as a bad dream.

Jingled Warnings

On the Kansas side of Kansas Citv.
where they still think long thoughts of
welfare and will have YOU uplifted or
know the reason why, they have devised
rules Tor dancing. A compromise with
the devil, the commandments have all
the weakness of such attempts. "No
heads together" is the first a]lurno
prohibition. "Six inches between part
ners," is positive and offers less peril.
But listen: "No jingling or vulgar sway
ing of the shoulders!" We have never
consciously jingled our shoulders. We
are far from clear as to what iing]np
is. But what prohibition could the devil
conceive that would be more enticinp?
Jlngled has, of course, a technical
sense, soon to become obsolete if orr
prohibition friends are correct. We are
reminded of it by the Kansas CITY edict
and also by the letter of correspondent
in indianapolis, who reports as follows
upon a singular feature of that verv
dry city:
Until the revenue authorities took
hand few weeks ago many druppists
displayed in their windows all the in
gradients and in proper proportions for
brew Of beer al home, and with each
batch was slip giving directions. with
the caution TO avoid violating the pro.
hibltlon law do not insert a cake Of
yeast at the proper time in the process"
There are dont's in the Ten Com,
mandments, and they are admirable.
Amending them with directions ad
dressed to dancing heads and shoulders
raises another question. 1t is so haro
IN the lesser affairs Of life to avoid
putting in the forbidden cake of Yeast
once you are eloquently warned against
its jingling CONSEQUENCES!

Half and Half Publicity

The State Department released on
Sunday the text of several notes ex-
changed between Premier Clemenceau
and the German peace delegation. Re-
ports had come from Paris that the
council of three had decided to meet
German criticisms by making some
changes in the treaty provisions relating
to the Saar Valley The notes were evi-
IDENTIFY made public for the purpose of
showing what those concessions were
and why they were offered.
The departments action was in line
with the theory Of "open diplomacy"
Premier Clemenceaus letter shows that
the original Saar Valley chapter con-
tanned provision apparently requiring
Germany to recover the Saar mines, if
the pebiscite of 1884 should go against
France, by a cash payment in gold
Count Brockdorf- -Rantzau protested that
Germany might not be able to raise a
large enough gold fund to redeem the
mines, her finances remaining till long
after the 1884 date under strict Allied con-
troll. He asked for an alternative method
of redemption. The council of three has.
therefore, agreed to permit Germany to
create a prior or preferred charge on
her assets and revenues in order to pro-
duce the sum needed to buy back the
mines from France.
The released notes make the Paris dis
patches of the last few days intelligible
But they also emphasize the imperfec-
tlons of the summary of the treaty pub
lished in this country. That summary
said nothing about repayment in gold.
1t simply stated that if any of the Saar
communes voted themselves back into
Germany in 1884, the German govern
ment must buy out the mines at an ap
praised valuation.
Discussion in Paris has uncovered
other details of the treaty which are not
h1nted at in the summary. If the gov
ernment wants to let the public know
what is in the treaty, thus enabling it
to understand the points raised in the
-Brockdorff-R Rantzau CORE
srondence, why doesn't it publish the
text of the treaty? Releasing the COR
respondence without the text on which
1t is based leads to confusion of mind.
II the public can be trusted with official
comment on the treaty, why can't it be
trusted with the terms themselves?
The departments policy is one of
half-and-half publicity. This is merely
aggravating. 1t would be better to tear
the veil off or to keep it closely on.

The Personalities Of Trees
lFron, 81 Nicholnsl

1t was beautiful thing about the old
Greeks that for them everything in the

man trees, and the lady trees and the hero
trees, to say nothing of the lover trees

And the strong man trees they are the
oaks and beeches and hickori's that give
strength to the world and furnish the

lt Is no foolish dream of the imagina-

Russia will awake from her nightmare.
The elements which are making a fight
for the reestablishment of a normal polit-
ical system have gathered behind the
Omsk administration. 1t is the strongest
factor for national restoration. 1t de-
serves Allied support. The only wonder
is that Allied recognition has been with
held so long and the back door left open
for parleying with the monstrous Lenine
autocracy, which Mr.. Lansing rightly
denounced last summer as beyond the

Like Pharaoh's Lean Kline

The portentous budget Mr.. Hines, the
railroad administrator, presents to Con-
gress is no surprise to those who have
followed the piecemeal railway reports,
but its totals are staggering to the gen
eral public.
In addition to the $500,0OO,OOO already
appropriated Mr.. Hines asks for 81 ,2OO,-
100000. And even this vast sum will
only even accounts up to May /, leaving
eight more months of 1919 whose deficits
must be provided for. If the shortage
for 1919 keeps pilng up at the rate
marking the first four months $500 0O0,-
600 more will be needed to square the
1919 loss
OF the gigantic distribution it is not
clear exactly how much is ascribable to
betterments and to additions to working
capital, thus representing an increase of
assets and how much is ascribable to
loss in operation. Nominally the deficit
of 1918 was S236, 900 and for the four
months of 1919 $25O,O0O, 900, making the
total for the sixteen months $486, 100000
and leaving something more than 1,200,-
100000 chargeable to capital account;
but it is highly probable that not all
Of this sum represents new investment.
The temptation is strong when a bal
ance sheet is unsatisfactory to charge to
J. H.
into maintenance and replacement, and
Mr. Hines, like any railroad manager,
may be assumed to feel the weight of
fhis influence The true deficit is prob
ably greater than he admits
In another respect there seems to be
q lack of complete frankness In men
tionlng the reasons for the deficit Mr..
Hines stresses the point that there was
an extraordinary fall off of business
following the signing of the armistice.
The traffic figures of the railroad ad-
minlstration do not support so emphatic
d declaration. There was a decrease,
but not heavy decrease; the tons of
freight moved was we'll up to the aver
acc Of the three years of the test period.
mentioning q subordinate cause of the
deficit Mr.. Hines does not mention the
chief cause.-the addition of nearly $500
year to the compensation of the av-
erage railway employee. Here was the
chief cause Of the deficit, and it does
not seem wise to gloss it over The in
creases were perhaps justifable, but let
US recognize that they occurred and that
the financial consequences were in
evitable
What's to be done? No choice seems
to be offered but to raise rates again.
Mr. Hines, by the plea Of abnormality.
has sidetracked the issue, but it cannot
long be kept on a sdetrack How much
rates can be lifted without making the
loss in traffic more than offset the gain
IN covered charges is not known and
can be ascertained only by experiment.
