Mr.. Powell says "Re-Cu-Ma is
the best medicine l ever saw. I
was troubled with digestion. I
could not eat with any comfort.
Then / tried one bottle of Re-Cu-
Ma and it has done me much
good5f& l can now eat as I wish
without any inconvenience. I
used to be very hungry and anx-
ious for meals, but everything I
ate made me sick and 1 could not
retain it on my stomach more
than an hour or So"
Re-Cu-Ma is sold in Richmond by
the Richmond Drug Store and all
good druggists. 1t is sold under
an absolute four-day offer which
means that you try Re-Cu-Ma
with the understanding that if at
the end of four days you do not
show material improvement you
can take the bottle of Re-Cu-Ma
back to the druggist and he will
give you every cent you paid for
it. There couldn't be a fairer Of
fer. If you are suffering take
of it.
Re-Cu-Ma through its action on
the liver, kidneys and blood,
brings strength and stamina to
the entire system. 1t

REVIVING TRADE
WITH GERMANY

The value of our imports from
Germany In August was only $780,
Gee. 1t was more than five times as
much in September and nearly ten
times as much in October, while in
November 1t reached $3,22S,000
This last rompares with $14,256,-
coo in the same month of 1913,
which was less than in either of
the preceding three months Of the
year. Still more significant is the
record of our exports to Germany,
considering the exhaustion which
its credit is supposed to have I'M
dergone. In the month Of August
the stated value of these was Sill
$4,000 compared with $21,301,000
in that month of 1913, Or more than
one-half the amount. In November
this had nearly doubled, being $23-
0i4.000, but that was less than
half the amount in 1918, when it
reached $4S,O73,000. That is due to
the fact that our exports in the
months OF harvesting are always
much larger than in the summer
months.
Considering the exhaustion that
Germany had gone through and the
comparatively s4all revival of its
productive energies last year. this
seems to be a promising sign for
her people, although the coming on

caused a greater unrest than ap.

T He PARTIES
AND THE PEOPLE

Senator Harding Of Ohio, who is
himself a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for president, in
sists that the World has made a
mistake In declaring that it would
support an Independent candidate"
because parties in this country
are necessary" and the people
should stick to their political or
CARNATIONS"
1t is true that parties are neces-
sary in this country, but they must
be honest parties that stand for
honest issues; otherwise they are
menace to the political stability
Of the nation.
The senator from Ohio Is quite
mistaken when he says that the
people should stick to their politi-
cal organizations have failed mser-
ably in this duties that voters ey-
erywhere are demanding new
deal.
The party organizations today
are patronage-brokers, as Senator
Harding well knows Left to them
selves, there Is not a principle to
divide between them. Except for
the brains and character of Presi-
dent Wilson, there is nothing left
Of the democratic party except the
name. Except for the money Of the
great business interests that have
SO long sustained it, there is moth
ing left OF the republican party ex-
cept a name and an appetite.
The Tribune sadly and sorrowful-
ly tells us that it is not true that
there is no difference between the
parties ut may not be easy to
catalogue the dicerences, but there
is profound consciousness of
them" In other words, while the
Tribune is quite sore that there
are differences, it cannot tell what
they are. Nor can anybody else

PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTA-
TON IN IRELAND

There IS one deeply significant
aspect Of the Irish municipal cleo
ton results to which sufficient at
tention has not been given, either
in the cable dispatches reporting
them or in the attempts to inter
pref these results. These particular
elections were the first conducted
there and on a large scale under
the proportional representation
plan. And although the system was
put into effect without any initial
outlay for the education of the peo-
pie in its operation 1t is evident
that it has fulfilled every eXpecta-
ton of its friends and advocates.
The dispatches comment on the
fact that the results show meth
er southern Ireland to be solid
Sim Fem, nor northern Ireland tobe
solid Unionist." But this is precise
ly what might have been expected
under a plan by which minorities
are not totally submerged by the
majority vote, but are given repre-
sentation In proportion to their
voting strength. This ought to work
for better government, a more
contented people.
A few more demonstrations like
this should break down the barriers
OF prejudice against "P. r." (the
short name for the system common
ly used by it's advocates and insure
for it a respectful hearing by legis-
latures and constitution reyisers in
this country. The plan is based up
on justice and sound reason. The
results speak for themselves wher-
ever 1t has been adopted. But the

TRADING
WITH RUSSIA

Resumption by the allied nations
of commercial relations with the
people Of Russia is one Of the most
encouraging events Of recent
months. 1t probably heralds the APP
proach Of peace in Russia and a
consequent lessening Of the feeling
Of unrest throughout the world.
The allies have not yet recogniz-
ed the Moscow government nor in
fact any of the various government
OR factions in Russia, but they have
taken action that viii make it cas-
Ter for the Russian people to solve
their many problems and establish
government which will be stable
and worthy of recognition
With ifports of clothing, medi-
cines, foodstuffs and agricultural
machinery. and exports Of grain,
flax and other products, Russia can
be expected to emerge quickly from
the realm of near starvation. A well
fed and prosperous Russia will
arise, and that country will then
cease to be a menace to the peace

FREE SPEECH
IN JAPAN

If Mr. Burleson or Senator Ster.
ling should happen to be looking
for an ideal system of suppression
which could be set UP as a sort of
goal, nothing could better be rec
commended than the regulation of
public opinion in Japan. There, ac-
cording to the Japan Review. the
legal, administrative and judicial
powers for curbing free speech and
free press have come into full
flower.
Under the Japanese system it is
Illegal to publish comments on cas-
es before the courts, proceedings
of secret governmental conferen-
ces, articles attacking or defend
ing those accused of crimes, any
news or article detrimental to the
welfare Of societyfor anything that
impairs the dignity of the imperial
household. The administration is
allowed to regulate the publication
of any kind of opinion at will. The
secretary Of the interior-nor, it
will be noticed, the postmaster
general-has the power to deter
mine what opinion is to prevail in
public. Every daily paper, every
magazine, every book, is circulated
or barred at his pleasure. On mill
tary questions the ministers of ar
my and navy exercise similar au-
thority. and the minister of foreign
relations may take whatever steps
are necessary to prevent the dis
cussion of questions which will not
bear too much airing. The depart
ment of justice has its own censor
