Whole World in Grave Danger
Through Advancing Tide
of BolSheviSm.
NOW FLUSHED WITH VICTORY
Practically All of Asia Is Open to the
Propaganda, and Result May Be
6loodiest Chapter In Worlds
History.

Washington.-The danger to the
world from bolshevism was never
greater than at the present moment.
The collapse Of the Russian national
forces under General Kolchak in ST.
IBERIA and the retreat of General Deni-
kine's army from the Moscow front
are regarded in every capital in Eu-
rope and in Washington as constitut-
ing a threat of a possible invasion Of
Europe, a certain penetration by the
bolsheviki In Asia and a menace to the
peace of the entire world.
Even Prince Michael Cantacuzene,
husband of a granddaughter of Presi-
dent Grant, who has just arrived in
the United States, while hopeful that
the Russian national forces may still
save themselves, c~onfesses that their
plight is desperate unless allied aid
reaches them. "They have no shoes,
no clothes, very little ammunition and
very little food. If the allies wish to
stop the spread of bolshevism through

This Is the belief of a man who is
fresh from Siberia and who is optimis-
tic enough to advance the opinion that
If bolshevism can be kept isolated in
Russia it will wear itself out by its
WI excuses,
On the High Tide of Victory.
The word "if" makes all the differ
ence in the world. But the fact is that
bolshevism is now riding on the high
tide of victory and there does not seem
one chance in a million that it will be
confined to Russia. Nearly all of Asia
is now open to its propaganda. The
defeat of the forces of General Deni-
kline opens the door between Moscow
and the Black sea. The connecting
military link between the former Kol-
chalk and Denikine lines has been OBJ
liberated and nothing remains to pre-
vent the agents of the b%olshevists from
moving toward Armenia, Persia, At
ghanistan and India. Agents of the
Russian reds have already stirred up
considerable trouble among the hill
tribes on the northern confines of India
and British troops are nov engaged in
suppressing uprisings.
AS for Siberia, the red propaganda
Is moving eastward rapidly. 1t has

Growth of Prohibition Can Be
Traced More Than
Century.
ADVANCE HAS Been STEADY
Moderation Was First Sought, and Not
Until 1s47 Did Demand for Adolf
tion of Strong Liquor Make
Itself Heard.

Chicago.-Prohibition sentiment, cul-
minating in the epoch-making amend
ment to the federal Constitution, has
been growing steadily in this country
since 1903, according to records COM
piled by the board of temperance Of
the Methodist Episcopal church. At
that time a demand for moderation in
the use of ardent spirits arose, fol-
lowed ten years later by an even
broader movement for abstinence from
ardent spirits and for moderation in
the Use of malt liquors. This in turn
gave way in 1910 to sentiment for alb
s%tinence from all alcoholic beverages.
Agitation for abolition of the prac-
tice Of licensing the sale of liquors
did not come until 1847, resulting four
years later in the enactment Of pro-
hibition laws in Maine, the first state

Thieves Took Big Chances.

Baltimore, Md.-Taking chances of
being dashed to death, a pair Of dar-

outside the Hotel Emerson to enter
the fourteenth floor rooms of Mr.. and
Mrs. William f. Stutz of Washing

They filled a suitcase with fine
dresses and lingerie owned by Mrs.
Stutz and valued at 5000 and escaped,
carrying the plumber by the same dan
gerous route, a single slip upon which
would have been certain death.

In Fight
Since Year 1903

to put prohibition into effect. Kansas
was second, in 1880, and North Da-
kota third in 1889. Meanwhile the
movement had grown to such proper
tons that the national Prohibition party
was formed at a convention in Chicago

the activity to stop the sale OF alco-
holic drinks, organized for a concert

world by the name of Woman's Chris

Anti-SaIoon League in 1893.
Another powerful influence in the
fight for prohibition came into exist
ence in 1898 in the formation of the
Anti-Saloon league. 1t is noteworthy
that both these organizations had their
inception in Ohio.
The modern wave of prohibition
legislation began with Georgia in 1907.
Since that time, the movement gained
strength more rapidly than any other
reform in the history of the world, so
that 33 states already have prohibition
by state action, in 81 adopted by pop
ular vote and in the others by legisla-
tive measures. At the time the con-
stftutional amendment was submitted,
"a Of the 4S states and considerably
more than half Of the territorial Unit
ed States had prohibition. In states
where prohibition waa not statewide,
1T has been adopted under local option
laws by many communities.
In addition to state laws, there have
been in effect stringent Measure
adopted by congress as aids toward
winning the war, which gave a tre-
mendous impetus to the prohibition
movement. Studying the examples of
foreign countries, a law was passed
making 1t unlawful to provide any
man IN uniform with alcoholic bever-
ages. Making of beer and whisky was
stopped under the food control act and
the sale OF drinks was terminated at
midnight last June 30. Shipment of
liquor into any states was prohibited
by the bone-dry law.
Notifications Took f3 Months.
The constitutional amendment was
finally adopted by congress on Deem
Der Is, 1917, with a restrictive clause.
hitherto unknown in legislative pro-
cedure, that 1t would be imperative
unless ratified within seven years. The
vote in the house was 281 to 1923 and
in the senate 65 to 20. The ratification
required only 10 months, the thirty
sixth state taking favorable action
January 16, 1919. Frank L. Polk, act
ing secretary Of state, proclaimed the
amendment as part Of the Constitution
under date of January 90, 1919, but
1t went into effect one year from the
date Of ratification by the thirtysixth
state.
After that date nine states voted for
ratification, making As in all. Rhode
Island, Connecticut and New Jersey
were the only exceptions.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you even stopped to reason why
It is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says 'eTake for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a.
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re.
suits, as many Of my customers testify.

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..

few grains of sugar, and fill the glass
nearly three-quarters full of cold wat

repeat 1t three hours after. Taken
fasting, the first thing in the morning.
1t Will do much to settle the stomach
after the sick headache, and probably
prevent Its recurrence for some time to
come. This kitchen physic has pre-
vailed when phenacetin and other
nerve-culeters have slgnally failed to

HISTORY MERELY A LESSON
Paints Pictures Only That They May
Be an Inspiration to Future
Generations.

History does not relate for the sake
Of relating; 1t does not paint for the
sake of painting; 1t relates and paints
the past that 1t may be living lesson
OF the future. 1t proposes to instruct
new generations by the experience Of
those who have gone before them. by
exhibiting to them q faithful picture
OF great and important events with
their causes and their effects, with
general designs and particular pas
slons. with the faults and virtues that
are found commingIed In human
things. 1t teaches the excellence Of
prudence, courage, and great thoughts
profoundly meditated, constantly pur-
sued, and executed with moderation
and force. 1t shows the vanity of
immoderate pretensions, the power of
wisdom and virtue, the impotence of
folly and crime. Thucyddes, Polybius,
and Tacitus undertake anything rather
than procuring new emotions for an
Idle curiosity or worn threadbare
Imagination. They doubtless desire
to interest and attract, but more to
instruct; they are the avowed masters
of statesmen and the preceptors of
mankind.-Victor Cousin.

RAILWAY EXECUTIVE
URGES HIGHER PAY
ADMITS WAGE ADVANCE SHOULD
BE MADE TO MEET HIGH
COST OF LIVING.
Chairman of Conference Committee OF
Railroad Managers Tells Labor
Board Mounting Expenses Justl-
files Granting Part Demands.

Chieago.-The opening statement of
wage question was presented on May
II before the United States Railway
Labor board, which opened hearings
in Chicago following recent two
weeks session In Washington at which
representatives of railroad employees
were heard.
Z. Il. Whittier, chairman of the Con-
ference Committee of the Railroad
Managers, read prepared statement
in which he said that wage advances
should be granted to many railroad
workers to enable them to meet the
high cost of living.
According to Whittier, total demands
of the rail employees, including new
demands of approximately twenty-five
per cent would, if granted by the labor
board, not only absorb the revenues ex-
pected from the increase In freight
rates, asked of the interstate COM
merce commission, but would force the
carriers to ask for additional rate in
creases.
He pointed out on behalf of the rail
executives that each $10O,0O0,000 in
crease in rail expenses represented
three per cent increase in freight
rates. He said that for every cent an
hour increase in wages to rail EN-
ployees, $5O,OOOOO0 was added to rail-
road pay rolls.
The increase in employees in 1919
over those of 1916, he said, was Gill;
300, or nearly forty-five per cent. The
railroad payroll increased $1,6O9,334,-
OPS, or 141.9 per cent
1--WE appreciate fully Mr. Whittier
said, "that the increases received by
some employees in the last five years
have not been commensurate with the
increases in the cost of living.
1--WE appreciate also that there are
other employees who are receiving
rates which cannot be considered at
all low in an absolute sense, yet which
do not compare favorably in some To-
calities with wages paid similar occu-
pations in outside industries"

PERFECTION NOT OFTEN SEEN
In Ten Thousand Is Abso-
iuteIy Sane.

Perfect health of mind and body are
both exceedingly rare. Not one "civi-
lized" person out of ten thousand Is
perfectly healthy. Not one civilized
person out of ten thousand Is perfectly
sane. That is to say, absolutely level
headed in all respects, not attaching
undue Importance to his own hobby,
and with no prejudlces against new
ideas, able to appreciate the other side
of the question and to change his
ideas when he Is convinced that he is
wrong.
Sanity has been defined as "the abil-
ity to accommodate oneself to ones
environment" Not bad definition.
Those who decry the manners and
customs of other races or people,
merely because they are different from
their own are not entirely sane.-Los

People in the Bible times were taxed
heavily. They were on a straight levy.
not based on incomes or excess profits.
Payment was compelled and no excuses
made, nor were there any exemptions
to married men or heads of families.
Although there were no army or navy
establishments and no airplane pro-
gram, the people paid their assess
ments In both gold and silver.
King Solomon compelled the Ca
nantes who were left In the coun-

tentious kick against the levy OF the
powers In Bible times. Jerobonm was
at first compelled to take refuge In
Egypt, and 1t was on account of the
taxes and levies laid by Solomon that
the Israelites said to Rehoboam, the
son Of Solomon. upon the latter's
death:

grievous service of thy father and
