Whoever is asked to pay a higher
price because of the rate increase has
right to feel that his intelligence is
insulted. Railway rates are reckoned
in mills. They roach the dignity of
cents only in cases, carcasses and car
load lots. Countless articles, are sold
with national advertising at the same
prices everywhere. regardless of for
eign considerations. In multitudes of
cases wholesalers prices are made
from a basing point, with freight
added. They and the retailers know
to a fraction what the addition is.
They are bold to dare to add the
freight. on a case of shoes. to each
pair, or on a. lambs carcass to an
order of chops in a restaurant. Buyers
who endure that extortion are simple
and foolish.-New York Times.
All OF which reads very well, but
II the dealer should add the extra
freight charges to his prices what will
the purchaser do about it?

THE RUSSIAN REVERSE.

The secret of Frances recognition of
General WrangeTs government in
southern Russia is out. His minister
of finance, while in Paris, said:
We recognize the fact that any law
full Russian government should meet
all former obligations of Russia. We
do not exempt from this obligation the
war debts of Russia, either, altho it
is evident that these debts ought to be
made the subject of special dehbera-
tions, inasmuch as Russia has not yet
participated in the peace treaty and
the sharing of its advantages. The
government of the volunteer army is
even inclined to the view that part of
its foreign assets ought to go towards
the payment of interest on the Russian
state papers in the hands of foreign
investors.
That statement appealed to France
in a tender spot-her pocket book.
The outlook for driving the Bolshe-
wiki from control in Russia appears to
be more promising now, than it has
been for many months. Lenine and
Trotzky appear to have their hands
full with the Poles and are in d far
way to be beaten. In the meantime
General Wrcnsel seems to be making
progress. He has won the support of
the Cossacks and every mile traversed
by his army IN the direction of Mos
COW promises to bring recruits.
The Russian problem from the start
has been frightfully muddled by every
body who has been concerned with it
The soviet armies have been able to
whip their enemies in detail. The
situation now has changed and they
are compelled to face powerful foes
in two widely separated quarters.
If there shall be no more meddling
from the outside. indications are that
the days of soviet rule in Russia are
numbered. It is noted, however, that
the United States has indicated to Po-
land that she must not again invade
Russian territory. tho 1t seems to have
been. entirely proper for Russia tc
penetrate Polish territory, to the very
gates of Warsaw.
But it may be that Poland will not
heed the suggestion of our Mr.. Colby

SONG OF THE BUILDER,
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

SONN OE DL1LDERs
1 sink my piers to the solid rock
And l send my steel to the sky,
And I pile up the granite, block by block,
Full twenty stories high;
Nor wind nor weather shall wash away
The thing that I've builded, day by day.
Here's something of mine that shall ever
stand
TIL another shall tear it down:
Here is the work of my brain and hand,
Towering above the town.
And the idlers gay in their SNUG content,
Have nothing to leave for a monument.
Here from my girdcrs I look below
At the throngs which travel by,
For little that's real will they leave to
show
When 1t comes their time to die.
But I. when my time of life Is thru.
VIII leave this building for men 20 view.
Oh. the work is hard and the days are
long.
But hammers are tools for men,
And granite endures and the steel is strong.
OUTLYING both brush and pen.
And ages after my heart is stflled.
Men shall know 1 lived by the things
I build

BOLSHEVIST AGENTS SEEK

Hope to Realize Millions From

attempting to sell the imperial Rus

Dokoochief, a refugee from Samara.
Russia. where her father was one of
the largest LAND owners. After many
thrilling adventures. including being
captured by pirates while at sea, Miss
Dokoochief has arrived in Chicago.
'The Lenin government hopes to
realize many millions of dollars from
the sale of the gorgeous gems. stolen
after the flight of the unfortunate
royal family" said Miss Dokochief.
Holland, however, will have nothing
to do with the jewels. realizing that
their purchase might be construed as
openly countenancing bolshevism.
