FEAR OF s0lsHlWsM yANIsHrs

For time there was fear TIN,
Russian bolshevism would overwbelm
the world. This fear is vanishing
bolshevism is doomed to be over
whelmed by an outraged and dis
gusted world.
Inc German independent socialists
thought Well of bolsf,evism. They
sent a delegation to Russia to invas-
eisate and report. The delegation
came back and reported that bolshe-
Vlsm In Russia was nightmare of
crime and a complete failure as a
system of government.
The French socialists also investi-
gated bolshevism in Russia. They
were friendly to the regime of Lenine
and Trotzky. Their chief leader took
TINS matter in hand He examined
conditions in Russia. particularly the
system OF government On his return
he said to his followers: 'Let us have
the courage of truth, let us admit
that We We're wrong when 1t becomes
necessary for us to burn that which
was honored."
An English labor mission led by
Bertrand Russell looked the govern
ment of Lenine over and reluctantly
condemned it in unsparing terms.
The Lithuanians at first friendly to
bolshevism have acquired informa-
ton at first hand. on the subject and
they are now turning away in dis
gust.
No other outcome could be possible
in Russia than the final failure OF
these bolsheviki theorists. More than
eighty per cent of the Russian people
are illiterate. These ignorant people
have been misled by the bolsheviki
They have been told that they could
live without work. They were told
that the rich people were robbing
them. They We're persuaded to seize
the property of the rich and murder
it's owners in order to get them out
of the way. This outrageous policy
has been enforced under the regime
of Lenine.
Now no honest worker in Russia is
safe. If he plants a crop and reaps a
bounteful harvest as a result of his
labors it is confiscated by the crimi-5
nal idlers.
Russia is passing thru what will be-
come known in history as it's dark
est age. The plight Of the country
now is not materially different than
that Of France when the bourbons
were overthrown and the revolutions
aries gained control Of the govern
ment.
Like any other disease that thrives
in darkness bolshevism will disap-
pear when exposed to the light.

WILSON PLAYING POLITICS

When President Wilson called can
didate Harding for the latters state
ment that he had been approached
by the French with encouragement.
for different kind of a league than
Wilson's league Of nations the presi-
dent knew better than anyone else
that the French government officially
had not approached Mr.. Harding and
his letter to Harding was intended to
put the republican candidate in the
hole. Everybody, who knows any
thing at all about the custom Of govl
ernments, knows that it would be an
insult to the official government OF
this nation for the French govern
ment officially to discuss interna-
tional affairs with a private citizen.
Senator Harding did not say that
such thing had been done and
President Wilson knew that it had
not. By calling Harding down Will
son hoped to humiliate or depreciate
him before the people.
However, everybody who can re-
member the published reports of the
proceedings at Versailles when the
Wilson league was formed knows
that the French government did not
want such a league as Wilson insist
ed upon. 'Clemenceau opposed it and
held out until Wilson ordered his
boat to make ready to take him
home. 1t was only when Wilson re-
fused to agree to anything unless
Europe conceded his league that the
French government gave in.
What France wants is an alliance
between a few strong nations such
not want Germany in it at ALL
France still fears Germany. France
believed that the league Of all
nations would not work and when
the reds Of Russia were about to
sweep over Poland France was COM
PEELED to go to the Poles relief alone
because the league did not function
Frances particular business is the
protection of France. For this
reason France wants and must have
a strong Poland in between Germany
and Russia SO as to prevent an al
lance between those nations that
might endanger her. For the same
reason France must prevent the
union of Germany and Austria for
fear that the Huns will become
strong enough to make their fifth eff
fort to devour France.
This attitude of the French gov
eminent is known to the world and
ii is known to President Wilson.
No one doubts that emissarics have
come to Harding to explain Frances

l. How can the marsh hawk be
distinguished?
Most country boys. I fancy, know
the marsh hawk. He keeps so low
that the birds and mice do not see
him till he is fairly upon them. He
is nearly as large as the hen hawk
but has much longer tail When
was a boy I used to call him the
long tailed hawk. The male Is a
blush slate color: the female red

a white rump.
p Are water turtles suspicious

Eternal vigilance is the price Of
life with most Of the wild creatures
There is only one among them
whose wildness can not understand
and that is the common water turtle

DEMOCRATS ENDORSED Law.
TMuscatine JournaI1


The opposition OF Claude Porter,
democratic candidate for u. s. sena-
tor from Iowa. to the Cummins- F,sch
bill directs attention to the position
of his party on this most important
piece of legislation to mark the last
session OF congress.
The platform adopted at San Fran
cisco. after referring to the fact that
President Wilson signed this meas.
,re to prevent the chaos" which
threatened thru the REIMBURSEMENT
OF federal control of the transporta-
ton systems of this country, made
this pledge:
There should be fair and COM
Iplete test of the law and until care
full and mature action by congress
may cure its defects and insure n
Thoroughly effective transportation
system under private ownership
without government subsidy at the
expense of the taxpayers of the
country.
Advocacy of the repeal of the law
is In conflict with one Of the cartii-
nal declarations of the. democratic
party. The pKraseology of the COM
mittment only reaffirms the often
expressed conviction Of Senator
Cummins that subsequent amend
ments will be necessary as weakness
OF certain provisions of the act may
become apparent.

THRIFT CLUB WORK

Thrift Club work in Americas is

man of this work for Sumter county.

some people have the idea" Mrs.
lvey continued, that because the war
is won and over, that the government
doesn't need the money any more,
and that the need for buying thrift
stamps no longer exists. This is a
mistake. No movement started in the
history of this country ever held
greater possibilities of enlargement
and development than this thrift
movement. Children who used to
spend all the money that came into
their possession foolishly now invest
their savings in 'thrifties' and some
Of them have developed remarkable
and commendable saving habits.
THE authorities, however, want to
keep track of those who are buying
the thrift stamps, and for this pur-
pose have inaugurated the Thrift
clubs. There is no obligation involv-
ed on the members. All that is ask
ed is that they sign and send in one
of the franked and self-addressed
thrift cards, so that the government
may know the families that are in
terested in the work. The thrift
stamp was invented as a wartime
expedient, perhaps, but it has come
to be a permanent institution, and it
affords the small saver the safest and
best investment ever offered.
Some time ago a special represen-
tative of Mr.. Davis was in Americas,
and he left several hundred of these
