Concessions from
 Siberia to Japan
 Now Are Predicted

San Francisco, Oct. 28.-Capt. N. F. Romanoff, who has been in the United States for month on what declared to be mission on behalf of Admiral Kolchak, nti-Bolshevik leader, was en route today for Si- beria.
 In a statement made public before his departure, Captain Romanoff said:
 Do not be surprised to hear of concessions in Siberia to Germans and to Japanese. Especially large concessions may be made to Japan. Siberia considers that the true friend is the one who comes in time of need.
 "There is strong pressure being brought to bear in military circles in Siberia for an alliance with Ger many and Japan. So far this has been been avoided. It would probably culminate in a menace to the peace of the world before many years"

PardOns Woman Who Wed Believing Her
 Soldier-Hubby Dead

Little Rock, Oct. 2S.-Gov. Brough has granted full and unconditional pardon to Mrs. Sallie Wiggins, who was recently convicted in Sebastian county on charge of bgamy and sentenced to three years imprison- ment. It appears that the defendant thought her husband had been killed in France, and married another sol dier. Even after her indictment she made no attempt to leave and did not seem to realize the seriousness of her act. The presiding judge, Paul Little, said he would recommend the pardon. The governor feels that no good can come of incarcerating her, and therefore he has yielded to the petitions of hundreds of citizens and granted the pardon.

PROHIBITION AS 1T is TO BE.

New York World: The prohibition
enforcement bill as agreed upon by the
conference committee of the two
houses of congress, while extremely
drastic, has been shorn of some of the
outrageous provisions insisted upon
by the Anti-Saloon League lobby.
Possession Of liquor in the home for
personal use and for the entertain
ment of guests is not to be unlawful
or made an excuse for searches and
seizures. az was originally enacted
The prompt administration Of stimu
lants by physicians in emergencies is
not to be a penitentiary offense. TIC
manufacture notwithstanding cider
and fruit Juices in the home for domes
tic use is not to be a felony. The use
Of alcoholic beverages in hospitals is
not eutIawed, and no federal snooper
seeming liquor on the breath of a
wayfarer is empowered to drag him
to Jail and to court.
For these concessions to old.
fashioned ideas of personal freedom
we suppose that people menaced as
never before in their private rights
will be duly grateful; but even so, the
law as modified is oppressive and in.
iauisitorial beyond precedent, and in at
least one respect violates established
rules of Judicial procedure. On house
holders with liquors in their possession
is placed the burden Of proof that they
came by them lawfully, and on the
manufacturer of Misunderstanding
wines, cordials, cider and near-beer,
rests the burden of proof that those
beverages are Misunderstanding.
Abuses almost incredible may easily
flourish under such provisions as
these. and yet in no other way can
the law be enforced. Prohibition is a
denial of individual liberty, which is
the basis of our system of government.
To be effective it must do violence
to that principle with ever-increasing
zealotry.

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION

Chicago Tribune: The report
published by the Providence
Journal concerning the nature
and gravity of the presidents i'll
ness is somewhat fortified by
the fact that official bulletins
have avoided definite statement.
The public therefore will draw
the natural conclusion that at
best the president rs passing
through a serious crisis and is
not likely to be able to take up
his heavy official duties for some
time. II this is not certain or,
at any rate, very probable, the
nation should have been so in
formed in candid and explicit
statement. II it is. certain or
even very probable, there should
be no postponement OF the de-
cision as to the exercise Of the
executive functions ad interim.
If there is any doubt as to the
constitutional method, the JUS
tees OF the supreme court should
be consulted at once. In such
momentous case they will I'M
doubleday give consideration
without the routine of formal adj
judication. The method of de-
termining whether succession is
necessary, at least in the absence
OF action by the executive him

rate being 2464 to each 100000
people. TO get the full meaning of
these figures the public should re-
member that scarlet fever-striking
terror to the hearts or parents--only
caused deaths at the rate OF only AZ
for every 100000. while the tubercu-
fosis rate was 1864. Health authori-
ties are trying to make the public
understand the menace of ttlbercu-
losis, yet there is no quarantine
against the disease, and the person
so afflicted may move about at viii,
perhaps injecting hundreds with
whom he may come in contact. Those
who call attention to these things
and demand stricter enforcement
OF the tuberculosis regulation laws
are known as health cranks. There
Is need OF more cranks of that
character. More of such health
cranks will mean fewer funerals.
