Hazing Almost
Costs A Life

Tom Mix was at Prescott, Arizona
while making the scenes for Treat
EN- Rough" For a time the ranges
| in that section were his stamping
grounds. About six years ago he de-
termined to join a nationwide So
ciety that had branch there and he
prepared for his initiation.
On the night of the initiation Tom
went to the hall which was located
on the second floor of twp-storv
frame building. He was blindfo,dcd.
They sat him in a chair Suddenly h,
heard some one say:
Now the question is. do we want
him in our society,"" Another voice
answered:
Il say no. He is murderer. a
horse thief. a rustler and beats his
mother. Throw him out the window"
They did.
The members had arranged with
the fire department to stretch a net
under the window, but the firemen
were holding the net under the wrong
window. As Tom fell. he stretched
out his hand and caught hold of
vine which prevented him from land
ing on his back on the very hard
earth.
At first the initiators were stunned
when they learned the net was not
under the window. but were soon re-
lieved by seeing Tom walking up the
stairs with his usual smile. There
was no more initiation. "Treat 'em
Rough" comes to the Arcade Theatre
tomorrow

80 sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed ITO lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels tailed to act. He would turn up
4 ten-cem bottle Of castor oil, and drink
two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered SO. He was swol-

No Recognition of Bolshevism.

Lord Reading, the British ambassa-
dor, has authoritatively denied sug-
aestions that Premier Lloyd George has
advised the recognition Of Lenin and
Trotsky. It was not necessary thus to
refute q recent current report as far
as the majority Of thinking people are
concerned. But just at this juncture
unfortunately there are many who are
prone to credit all sorts Of specula-
tions and critical statements without
heed as to probability or reason, and
thus the British ambassadors explicit
denial has its value and should set at
rest all apprehension on the score Of q
possible British recognition Of the bod.
shevik government Of Russia.
Probably this report Of the prospec-
tive recognition Of the Lenin Trotsky
administration of Russian affairs has
grown out of the fact that it is neces.
sary in conducting any dealings what.
ever with Russia to address those who
are actually at the head Of affairs, con.
stituting the government dc facto. The

country is greatly interested in the
Navy, and in the carrying forward Of
naval plans.
Secretary Baker has just sailed on
his third visit abroad. The others were
made while the war was still in prog
ress. In his case the Army is the
leading consideration and what he
shall learn on the subject Of military
matters in general applicable to our
affairs will probably appear in his next
annual report to Congress.
Here, then, will be recommendations
from three executive sources which
Congress must consider.
Congress will be all the better pre-
pared to do this from the fact that a
number of its members, senators and
representatives, will have gathered in
formation themselves in Europe bear
ing upon the same matters. Some went
abroad before the war ended. Others
have gone since Congress adjourned.
A party Of fifteen representatives,
members of the House military COM
mittee-sailed with Secretary Baker
Monday.
All of this should be to the good.
American problems are many and i'm
portant, and some entirely new. The
country wants them solved in the best
light and all the light obtainable.
These journeys abroad, therefore, are
well worth while.

United States thus was compelled to
deal with Hucrta when he was in conf
mand Of tho situation in Mexico, &C.
knowlcdging his as the government de
fcato though not granting him official
recognition.
Time may come when the bolshcvik
government will be recognized. The
present prayer Of the people of this
country, save for rev exceptions. is
that that will never come to pass.
There is the greatest adherence of
the bolshevik rule, with its abomina-
BILE record of slaughter and assassina-
ton, confscation and destruction. The
prevailing hope is that Russia may
evolve her salvation out of this pres
ent turmoil and tragedy of treachery
and treason. That Lenin and Trotsky's
government can survive tho readjust-
ment is not credited. Meanwhile it
will be necessary to deal with them,
just as during the war it was neces-
sar to deal with Germany through
neutral powers for the care of pris-
oners, and for other matters connected
with hostilities and ultimately with
the terms of truce.
