The one word "Chinese," in a
dispatch from Copenhagen, means
a good deal to Japan and explains
some Japanese anxiety.
The dispatch says that Bolshev-
lists are throwing large forces on
the Lettish front, including CHI
NESE REGIMENTS.
II two hundred million Russians
should unite with four hundred
million Chinese, Russia supplying
the enthusiasm, China supplying
the indifference to death, what

Japan.
"Big Business" is watching the
effort to expel five Socialist as
semblymen from the New York
legislature, afraid that if Social
lists get their seats it will give an
impetus to radicalism.
AS usual, "Big Business" looks
at the situation upside down.
If the five men are deprived Of
their rights, that piece of stupidity
will "give an impetus to radical
ism" and increase the Socialist
vote.
It seems strange, in days of the

far than when Fulton sent his
first Claremont padding up the

Count Arco Valley has had his
little say, but he is sentenced to
death for murder in the ordinary
way, so that his speeches and muir

WORK.

Work was wished upon man as
a means whereby he should live
by the sweat of his brow. More
effective sweating methods is TO
look for work, or try to escape it,
or tell other people to do it.
The best time to work is, ac-
cording to an old song, in the
morning hours, during the day
time, when the dew is falling, or
when something is falling due.
The bee does it differently. The
busy bee improves only its shin
ing hours; we shine only when we
improve all Of ours.
Also the bee huns as it works,
being like the humming bird,
which buzzes as it works.
There is an old saw which says
that the devil is a self-appointed
employment agent for idle folks.
This keeps the devil too busy now
adays to do much mischief himself.
America made the world safe
for democracy-but it will take
lot Of work to make America
safe for the Democrats.

FLOATING FREIGHT TRAINS

On a certain morning not long

their real significance lay in the
fact that they were the advance

This $6,290,000 fotilla is the
