Bolshevisn's March

BOIsheVlsm s March
Conversely, not the smallest inter
est is manifested anywhere in the
rapid and still uninterrupted west
ward movement Of Bo1shevisn itself.
The fact that within a year B0lshe-
vism-that is, Trotzky and Lenine-
has been. able to establish it's control
over the larger part of Russia, to
dominate upward of 125, OOO, 900 hu-
man beings, to destroy the armies
made up of Russians who have chal-
lenged its control; to break through
the Gordon sanitaire of the Paris
Conference; to reach the Baltic and
the Black seas, excites no comment
and no apprehension.
While the discussion Of the rati-
fication of the Treaty Of Versailles
periodically languishes and recurs
with renewed energy, there Is an
ever-increasing conviction that the
right policy for America is complete
separation from Europe, and even
the crusade against the "Reds" takes
on in some degree the character Of
an effort to reinforce our with
drawal from Europe by the expul-
sion from America of q certain
number Of undesirable Europeans.
A year ago we were, officially at
least, embarking upon our huge
campaign to make the world safe
for democracy by imposing Ameri-
can ideals upon Europe; to-day it
would seem we are, with more de-
liberation, seeking to make the
United States safe for Americans
by exiting certain European ideas.
This reaction Is natural enough i;
It was probably inevitable; yet If
the country is at the present hour
impressed with the very great dan
gers Of too considerable inter
mixture in European affairs, can
ne safely accept a course which
leads straight to complete separa-
ton from European affairs and
thus leaves us condemned in the end
to fight single-handed certain Euro
pean diseases, Of which Bolshevism
is the most conspicuous. which may
owe their greatest and most menac-
ing expansion to our indifference?

It Is upon Poland that world at
tention must now be fixed. But the
Western nations, SO far from recog-
nizing that Poland is the single wall
against the Russian "Red," are fol-
lowing their old policy Of procrasti-
nation, which, in the last war, sac
rifced both Serbia and Rumania. In
recent days Lloyd George has af-
firnded that the Western nations
win not make peace with Bolahe-
vism, but for maintaining a state
Of war there is left only Poland as
a cornerstone.
It Is Of the utmost Importance to
Germany, If she is to regain her old
position, not mainly or even pri-
marily her military station, but her
economic situation, to see Poland de-
stroyed. She needs her old Polish
provinces-West Prussia and Posen ;
she requires certain possession Of
upper Silesia, now awaiting pleb-
iscite; she needs Danzig and the con-
troll of the lower Vistula, and be-
yond these she needs contiguity with
Russia, the one field for her industry
which may open the way to CONNER
cial renaissance.
Thus, whatever their other differ
ences, the Bolshevists and the Ger
mans, without regard to party fac
ton, political or religious difference.
have q common objective-the de-
struction Of Poland. For the Boil
shevists the elimination Of Poland
would remove the only army in
their pathway, the sole menace to
their mastery of Russia and their
future expansion into that chaos Of
hunger smitten districts which has
replaced the comparative order of
the old Hapsburg Empire.
Tho Germans believe that, once
they have crushed Poland and re-
stored their old unity, they can cope
with the Bolshevists, they can reor-
ganize Russia. The Bolshevists be-
Iieve that with Poland down they
can sweep westward, at least to the
Rhine and the French Alps, enlist
ing the elements Of disorder and Of
anarchy n Germany, Austria, Hun
gary and italy. But Tor both tho

The Real Peril

American newspapers are filled
with endless columns of discussion Of
the menace constituted by the pres
ence in this country of few hun
dred Russian "Reds," but the press
and the public men alike seem apa-
thetic in the presence Of the rapid
expansion Of the world area actually
dominated by leaders who profess
the same doctrine as our handful Of
domestic Reds" and the addition Of
millions to their empire, out of whom
they will be able to fashion armies in
the future to carry on that war
their American agents never hest
tate to proclaim.
Actually the world situation at
the present hour is such that a Boil
shevist supremacy in Europe is by
no means out Of the range of pos
sibility. In the last three years this
Bolshevist doctrine and the leaders
who profess it have gained control of
an empire Of more than 1876, 100000
people, that is, of Russia, exclu-
sive Of the border tribes and Of
eastern Siberia. 1t is actually ex-
tending its control into the terri
tories Of the border tribes, and even
into eastern Siberia. In it's path
way westward to-day only two
feeble states, Poland and Czecho-
lSlovakia, separate it from tho mid

The Peace Delusion

stand so that the votes of the two
thirds needed to approve the treaty
be obtained, then peace will result
that from Esthonia to Dalmatia.
through all the regions where men
stand in arms or women and chill
dren starve, order will come auto
matically.
The truth is otherwise. Whatever
else one may say for the ratification
of the Treaty Of Versailles by the
United States, nothing is surer than
that this ratification will not mate
rally affect the situation in Russia |;
it will not have the smallest in
tfuence upon Trotzky and Lenine,
who see opening before them the
same vision Of conquest which greet
ed the leaders of the nascent French
Revolution when they had reduced
France to their will. It will not
automatically compel the Kurd to
give over massacring the Armenian,
it will not modify the situation along
the eastern shore Of the Adriatic, it
will not allay the passions reused by
French occupation of Syria or Brit
ish adventure in Mesopotamia.
Peace can only be restored when
we have restored common basis of
cooperation between the great
masses of men who are now sepa-
rated by new as well as old intellec-
tual, moral and racial animosities.
Bolshevism is state of war against
organized society as we know it. We
cannot make peace effectively
within state of war, even though
we sign endless papers and retire
our influence to its own territory.

cited at the presence in their COM

armies in the environs Of Riga,

Ford Truck Ran Amuck

Last Saturday while members of
the w. F. Albright family were
driving home from Juliaetta they
had an accident that might have
proved disastrous to the entire
party. Mrs. Raleigh Albright was
driving the truck and started down
the steep hill south OF town. The
Ford truck has Chevrolet gear and
in attempting to change gears from
high to intermediate the driver
missed the shift. The truck being
in neutral Mrs. Albright had moth
ing with which to control it except
the emergency brake. When she
set the brake she turned the
machine into the bank, which check
ed its speed. As it hit the bank she
struck her arm against the side of
the car, breaking both bones of the
right forearm. The other members
of the party were uninjured.

County Agent Busy

County Agent Fletcher was in
Kendrick Monday on business.
Through Mr.. Fletcher's efforts a
market was found for all of the
jenkins Club wheat raised On
American ridge. A premium of
approximately Is cents a busheI
was received for this gram, which
was purchased all over the country
for seed purposes. Mr.. Fletcher
shipped one carload to WalIa Walla
and had injuries from all over the
Inland Empire for the wheat. A
party in Weiser, Idaho wrote for a
carload but it could not be supplied.
MI. Fletcher was interested in hav-
ing as much of this seed as possible
placed in Latah county, as this is
his territory and he believes the
seed is so exceptionally fine that
the farmers of the county should be
interested IN getting enough of
1T for at least start. Walter Big
ham of American ridge had over
5000 bushels of this seed but
through a misunderstanding, most
of it was sold to local warehouse
company and was not saved for
seed.

Big Wheat Yield

Walter Bigham of American ridge
had wonderful crop of wheat this
year. He secured over 5000 bushels
from his quarter section of land.
Most of this was spring wheat,
which makes the yield even more
remarkable as the spring grain
wasn't as heavy this season as usual
ly is harvested IN the Potlatch.
The evening of the day his thresh-
ing was finished his wheat was all
in the elevator, due to the co-opera-
tive system of the American ridge
farmers. Walter said he would
have had to haul wheat all fall if it
were not for the fact that the farm
ers of his ridge by helping each
other, keep the wheat hauled to the
elevator as fast as it is threshed.

The Harvest Exhibit

The success of the harvest exhibit
to be given by the Farmers Bank,
will depend largely upon the inter-
est taken by the farmers of the
Potlatch. If it is success 1T will
mean that those who have good
agricultural products in this local
ity are interested enough in help
ing to advertise PotIatch farms, to
save their best vegetables. fruits,
grains, ETC., ter the display.
Nearly every farm in this part of
the country has produced some
thing that will make a good ex-
hibit. There are few gardens that
haven't some exceptionally fine
vegetables that will add just one
more display to the harvest exsiplt.
These should be brought IN by all
means. not necessarily for the pur-
pose of competing for a prize, but
to help make the harvest exhibit
a success.
No better farm products can be
grown anywhere than IN the Pot
latch. 1t is fine thing each year,
during the fall season to have an
opportunity of getting samples of
these products together to show
what can be done along agricuItur-
al lines. 1t is splendid advertising
for the country and the more adver-
tising it can get the better for those
who have land interests here. It
would be a fine thing if Mr.. Nc
Connell would fined he hadn't
enough room in the bank to hold
the exhibits. Let's all help to
make 1t success.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Ivy and Edith
returned Wednesday evening from
quite an extended trip to Portland
and other coast points. They drove

longer than they had planned they
report very pleasant trip and but
little car trouble. Mr.. Ivy said
that the road from Portland to

about $50 miles farther, was much
more enjoyable trip on account of
the better roads.

Lower State Taxes

Star Mirror: Latah county tax
payers will save $34, 4,864.98 in state
taxes this year as compared with
those paid in 1919. County Auditor

the state tax commission showing
Latah county's assessment which
is that much lower than the assess
ment of last year. The tax paid to

perty has increased almost half
million dollars and the bulk of tn,s
increase is on agricultural lands,
the increase being per cent, which
adds a total of $439, ,225.20 to the
taxable wealth of the county in this
one item. Business lots have also
been raised five per cent and the IN
crease is $14,994. Saw logs were in
creased 10 per cent, which means an
added SALTS in this county, and
stocks of merchandise were in
creased 25 per cent, making a total
of $S0,995.
But there is big decrease in live
stock as compared with last year.
Horses lead in shrlnkage of values,
with total of $25, $3.50. All live
stock assessments are 10 per cent
lower than in 1919. Cattle show a
net loss of $4,915.3O; yearllng
cattle, $1S,84.80; sheep, S1,252.S0
and stock horses, $5,516.50. The
decrease of S25, 1853 in horses noted
above is for work horses.
The total increases shown are
$3.50. 1870. The decreases in live
stock total $395,20. leaving a net
increase in taxable wealth IN the
county of $499, $3.50.
The total value of all assessable
property IN the county is placed at
500, ,S52, ,S3S.49. Real estate com.
poses more than 80 per cent of this,
being assessed at $lS, $50, ,096.80.
Railroads are second in value, with
total Of $l70, $40; telephones, SAL,
005; telegraph lines, $9,976; and
Pullman and private car companies
are assessed at $13,799. The total
exemptions allowed to widows
soldiers, etc.. are $500, ,527, leaving
a total valuation OF 500, ,232, ,33l, or
which taxes must be paid.
