sides in the Russian civil war"
1t would be better to be definitely
out Of it than to be on both sides at
once. Russia might at least respect
US as a neutral if we got out. Our
standing with the Russian people
when they do come back would not
be worse than it will if we continue
to face two ways with them. We
have the chance to make good in a
measure by recognizing the Kolchak
government. While we have no
guarantee that it will lift Russia at
once to the position Of a first class
power. we know that no other agency
is in sight that has a ghost of a
chance to do it either. We do have
Admiral Kolchak's war record which
is clear and Straightforward and
marks him as one man who did
something. even with his poor tools;
and we have his promise to act only
as trustee for Russian freedom and
to summon a popular assembly as
soon as he gains control Of Central
Russia.
He is rated conservative and a
reactionary. but Russia has been we'll
fed up on radicalism and can stand
a little conservatism for a while. The
main thing Is to bring a cessation of
these dragging little wars and let
Europe get its breath and a square
meal. Ideal conditions for trying
governmental experiments and for
putting into operation our ideas will
not come by simply waiting for them.
In Europe they are growing farther
from ideal every day and the coming
winter will find the saddest world it
ever looked upon unless some active
constructive work is done by some
body very soon. .-
A stabilized condition in Russia
would go far toward simplifying the
other European puzzles that the
peace conference has still unsolved
or perhaps not even under consider
alton, but which will force them
selves on its attention Just as surely
as the sun will rise tomorrow. Some
time they will have to be solved and
the longer we daily with them the
harder they will become.

brina Out the Facts

Members of Congress feel that no
little good can be accomplished by
bringing out the facts with respect
to the causes which are leading to
the high cost of living Of which
the whole country is complaining. 1t
is deemed probable that important
legislation will be the outcome of this
inquiry and perhaps others to be
made by this Congress. The next
question. however. is to bring about
thorough and impartial enforcement
Of any legislation which may be en-
acted calculated to relieve the pub
lie.
As a matter of fact for many
months officials have possessed pow
er which was ample to reach many
forms Of profiteering. but they have
not made use Of it. In fact Congress
sional inquiry is expected to reveal to
the eyes Of the public glaring in
stances of ofncial encouragement OF
some Of the most amazing and alto
gether devilish impositions upon
consumers and tax payers.
Let the Investigations proceed.

(Ethel Ward Strickland. New Portland,
One name there is we hold most dear
Apart from any other,
Fer round it 'centers our hearts love
Inc sacred name of mother.
When childish hurts drew woeful tears
from sister or from brother, q
There was but one to whom each turned,
That one was always mother.
Her loving words began the day
AND made each morn seem bright,
And at her knee our prayers we said
when twilight brought the night.
The years sped on; we older grew.
Some days brought only sorrow.
And then to mother still we turned,
Her happiness to borrow.
Although the years to silver turned
The hair that once was brown.
Unto our eyes she seemed the same,
For in our hearts deep down
There lay a host Of memories
More precious far than gold.
That made of her a comrade still
Mother could not grow old!
Unselfish acts and loving deeds
They seemed a part OF mother,
Wise counselor and playmate, too.
With tenderness Of lover.
So when her feet shall falter
Adown' the vale of Life,
May love and tenderness be hers,
Far off be pain and strife.
For netherlands and mother-lips
Will guard safe as Of old
The gallant knight for lady fair
h. Did strive in journey bold.
For Life is but tournament
When all Is said and done,
And he who clings to mothers rules
May rest at set Of sun.
With honor bright, untarnished still,
With faith and hope aglow.
For truer name than mother?
