OUTLINING A
POLITICAL PLATFORM.

There can be but one opinion con-
corning the action of the Assembly
at Albany yesterday in suspending
its five Socialist members. The
Evening Post cannot be suspected
OF sympathy for the impractical
ideals of Socialism when It declares
that the Assembly's action is q sin
lister threat against the fundamon
tals OF democracy and representa-
tive government. Unlike Victor
Berger, who was expelled from Con
gress on his individual record, the
Socialist assemblymen were not
barred as individuals but as adner-
ents of a definite political party and
creed This party at one time
polled nearly a million votes for its

WILL THERE BE A
RUSSIAN NAPOLEON?

The news from Russia shows the
revolution working almost precisely
along the lines OF the French reyo-
luton.
That famous event OF history
opened with the establishment OF
representative democratic govern
ment. SO did Russia's oVerturn.
The first phase in France was
succeeded by simultaneously, If
esponsibles in office and n the
general assembly. The Kerensky
covel nment was the counterpart in
Russia.
The second phase in France was
the terror, the overthrow Of all
common sense, blood monsters as
dctators, the establishment OF Cod
lessness and the passage Of many
insane laws governing life in all It's
expressions. In Russia this was
bolshevism.
The thild phase in France was
desperation. The country became
desperate from the frjghtfdi condi-
tons imposed by the neutotics and
criminals who ruled under the ter
nor. In their colossal ignorance, and
worse, they had brought disorgani-
cation, starvation and suffering up
on people who asked for reno
cratic freedom and were given a
stone by the Lenins and Trotskys
of the day. Russia has experienced
this phase to the hilt during the
last two years. We need not dwell
on its horrors.

Cider Apple Sauce.

Put eight quarts of pared, quarter
ed, and cored sweet apples in a large
preserving kettle and cover with five
quarts of boiled cider. Cook slowly
until the apples are tender and clear.
To prevent burning of the apples
place the kettle on an asbestos mat.
1t will require from two to three
hours to cook the apples. If you find
it necessary to stir the sauce be very
careful to break the apples as little
as possible. When the sauce is cook
ed put it in sterilized jars.
In the late spring, when apples
have lost much of their flavor and
acidity an appetizing sauce can be
made with diluted boiled cider, using
one cup of cider to three of water.
Cooking pears may be preserved
in boiled cider the same as sweet APP
pies. To make the sauce less sour,
one pound of sugar is added to each
quart of boiled cider.

Here's Good Recipe For Making
Cider Apple Sauce.


When the apple crop is abundant
and a large quantity of cider is OBJ
tainable the housekeeper will find it
to her advantage to put up large
amount of boiled cider. 1t greatly
improves the flavor of mincemeat,
and can be used at any time of. the
year to make cider apple sauce.
Cider for boiling must be perfect
ly fresh and sweet. Put it in large,
open preserving kettle and boil until
reduced one-half. Skim frequently
while boiling. Do not have the ket-
tie more than two-thirds full. When
the cider has boiled until it is fairly
thick, put in bottles, cans, or stone
jars which have been thoroughly boil
ed.
