Trotzky former $12 per week re-
porter on a New York newspaper, now
the brains of the Russian Bolsheviki,
has actually done a bright thing. He
has taken charge of the family of Gen
eral Brusiloff Russia's greatest mil
itary genius, who did such brilliant
work in 1915 and 1916 against the Ger
mans and Austrians. He has placed
the general in charge of his armies
and has given him the ultimatum of
winning the war for bolshevlsm or
having his family killed. If Brusilof
does all that he is capable of doing
and works for the success of the Boil
sheviki he will be a power. But there
is nothing to hinder Brusiloff, when
he gets his army under control, from
turning upon Trotzky and after
rescuing his family, destroying the for
mer newspaper reporter and his boil
shevist government. An army of g.
100000 men is dangerous weapon to
place in the hands of a military officer
who knows how to handle them and
the fact that the safety of his family
depends upon him fighting Trotzky's
battles will not tend to make the great
Russian general love or trust Trotzky
and his bolshevist followers and
1upes

Statistics show that during the past
few years every kind of farm animal
in the United States decreased in
number, except milk cows, which in
creased less than one per cent. 1t
does not take mathematician to
figure OUT that with our livestock
decreasing year by year and our popu-
lation increasing by leaps and. bounds
{estimated at more than 100000 net
Increase per year, something must be
done to save the livestock industry or
we will become nation of vegetar-
ians. Everything done to increase the
the right direction. Improving the
quality of the animals is about the
safest and surest way of increasing
production of meat. Latah. county has
many men who are doing that work
and doing it we'll. There is probably
brighter future for the breeder OF
better livestock than for men engaged
in any other industry.

There is much discussion in the
United States about the Irish question.
People are lining up on one side or
the other and are becoming strongly
partisan. 1t seems strange that Amer
leans cannot realize that the Irish
question is not an American question
and we have no part in solving it. We
have questions enough of our own to
other peoples affairs and devote more
time and attention to our own. 1t
ought not to take very wise head
to realize that only politicians who &

the other, have any actual interest in
the Irish question. Let the politicians
discuss the matter, if they wish, but
the American people should not be
carried off their feet by agitation of
question that does not concern them ,
and which they can have no voice in
solving.
