In Russia the franchise extends to
all persons over Is years of age who
have acquired a means of making a
living through manual labor; all per-
sons engaged in housekeeping for
manual laborers and soldiers of the
army and navy, and the classes man,
ed when they are incapacitated.
The disfranchised persons are:
Persons who employ labor; who have
an income without doing any work;
private merchants and trade and
commercial brokers; monks and cler-
gy of all kinds and denominations;
members, employees and agents of the
cars government, and persons unfit
because Of mental ailment or Grim
inal record.
If farmer in Russia should reach
the point Of opulence that would en-
title him to employ hired man he
would be disfranchised. There is no
private ownership Of land; civil mar
riage alone is legal; divorce is grant
ed upon application; no church is per-
mitted to own property and inheri-
lance of all property by will or law is
abolished.
The soviet form Of government is
manifestly unfair, discriminatory, in
defensible and unjust.

menace to our government in soviet
ism will investigate the problem a lit
tie they will find that they need
something else to worry about. We
will be secure when sovietism be-

SOvEITISM.

There is great deal Of useless
worry over what may happen to this
government Of ours because In some
other country "soviets" are being
formed. Some pretend to fear that
our form of government is in immi-
nent danger.
The truth is that if men can de-
wise better government than the
one we are now living under it would
" the logical, the natural and correct
|t1ipe for Us to dispense With the one
5e Aly9 ia 6d6pt It. Man i ever
striving for perfection. There have
been eighteen amendments to theFed-
eral constitution. There will be 9TH
ers as times change and conditions
require them. The only claim that
has ever been made for our govern
ment is that it is Fundamentally
sound and that it is a government of
the people, for the people, and by the
people. Governments with founda-
ton like that are rising throughout
the world, but one has never been
known to fall where the people were
civilized.
The common assumption is that
the "sovit" is nearer the people than
the republican form of government,
and perhaps it is for that reason ap-
prehension has arisen concerning its
spread and the fear that it may gain
a foothold in the United States.
But the contrary is the fact. The
the "soviet" is nearer the people than
ry and prejudicial form of govern
ment. 1t has not the virtue of fair
ness and without that claim as a bas-
is it has no right to endure.
AS an example, the farmer in Rus
STA votes for his local soviet member,
and when he casts his ballot his pow
er as a voter comes to an end. The
members of that local soviet vote to
elect members of the rural soviet; the
members of the rural soviet vote to
elect members of the provincial SOW
let, and the members of the provin-
cial soviet vote to elect members to
the All-Russian soviet.
In other words, as the Senator's Of
the United States were once removed
from the voters, when they were
elected by the legislatures, the mem
bers Of the All-Russian Congress Of
soviets are three times removed from
the Russian farmer. The city voter
lie more trusted than the country vot-
er, as he votes direct for the urban
representative, who in turn votes for
the member Of the All-Russian con-
gress of soviets.
Compare the selection Of chief ex-
ecutives of the United States and
Russia. President Wilson was elect
ed by the votes of electors voted for
by the people and instructed to cast
their votes for him. Lenine was chos-
en- by an executive committee of 200
elected by the All-Russian congress,
which was elected by the urban and
provincial soviets, the provincial SOW
lets being elected by the urban and
rural soveits, and the rural scveits
having been elected by the local rural
soveits. Lenine is five times remOv-
ed from the votes Of the Russian peO-
pie.
Under the Russian constitution q
member Of congress OF soyiets shall
be elected for each $4,000 city people

Mr.. 7. Edwards called attention to
the fact that the nomination Of w. F.
Appleby's nomination had not been
seconded, and Judge L. B. Johnson
said Mr.. Edwards was behind in his
knowledge if he believed it necessary

square deal and fair count-for every
man to vote but once and only once.
The vote was taken downstairs by
counting noses as the Appleby men
went into the Northeast door of the
courthouse and the Pendegrass men
into the Southwest door. The count
was said to be approximately 600 to
300 and in favor Of Appleby.
After the crowd re-assembled in
the court room, it was impossible al
most to regain admittance and we
had to depend on the Secretary, Mr..
Felix Greasy for the remainder of
the proceedings.

and demonstrative and some might
have had feeling involved, we really
believe the majority enjoyed 1t, for

RESOLUTIONS,
Res6Iv.J By the Republicans

Henderson County, in Mass Conven-
tion assembled, and we renew our al
legience to the grand old Republican
party; the party of the people the
party for forty years guided the des-
TIMES of free people and protected
them from the oppressive taxes and
gave them largest measure of person
al liberty the party free from ALI
ances with the large interests the
party that stands for America for
Americans and without any entang-
ling alliances with European coun-
tries; the party that believes in sus-
tanning the soldier in the trenches
and providing for him in his old age
when disabled in protecting his coun-
try; the party Of Abraham Lincoln,
William Mckinley and Theodore
Roosevelt.
Be 1t Further Resolved, That we
favor the Congress in providing in
the Treaty Of Peace safely for our
country and institutions and heartily
endorse the stand of a Republican
Senate in passing such amendments
to the treaty as are necessary to safe
guard America from mixing in the
affairs of countries over the seas.
We condemn the extravagant and
waste of the Wilson administration
and call upon the people to again raj
ly to the support of the party that
will economically conduct the affairs
of our country and relieve us of ex-
cessive tax burden imposed by waste
and incompetency in the manage
ment of our country's affairs.
The Republicans of Henderson
county pledge their united support to
the nominees Of the the Republican
party, national, state and county, and
ask for harmony and united action
for every nominee or the party from

SOFT WOOD MADE BEAUTIFUL
Proper Application OF Finishing Meth
DDS Gives All the Effects of More
Costly Material.

Beautiful wood floors, approximate
ing In effect and finish the oak and
maple floors found in the best type OF
homes, can be developed, with the aid
OF nrcper hSlc:l.ng methods and ma
terials. in such woods as pine, FIR, anc
cypress. says a bulletin of large
American company. These so-called
s'soft" woods are very durable and
possess not little natural beauty OF
grain.
Hardwood effects are secured on soft
woods by staining with an oil wood
stain, consisting of permanent color
pigment In an oil vehicle. These
stains are particularly adapted to use
on the soft woods. The effect is COM
pleted by applying thin coat of shell
lac and finishing with two coats OF
prepared wax or floor varnish.
The first step toward obtaining the
desired finish is to sandpaper the wood
smoothly. The stain should then be
applied freely with a brush, and, af-
ter being allowed to stand for about
FIVE or ten minutes, buffed OFF with a
cloth. When the stain has dried for
"a hours the shellac and wax or var
nish may be applied as described.
A deeper effect than that procured
by the method outlined may be OBJ
tanned by the use of varnish stain
over the oil wood stain. Both should,
of course, correspond in color. Often
It is difficult to determine upon the
best finish for a floor in. the absence
of expert advice.
