THE BoLsHEvIKI BOW THEIR HEADS.

The soviet government has listened to the only
argument that it understand--force According
to dispatch from Paris, the head of the Boshevik
delegation at Riga has received instructions from his
government to accept all the conditions laid down
by Poland for peace, however hard they may be-
except only those compelling soviet Russia partly
or totally to disarm her army.
Yet this very reservation indicates the amount
of good faith the reds intend to show in executing
the terms of the peace agreement. They want to
retain their army SO that when the opportune time
comes they again strike at their neighbors.
The Bolsheviki have frequently asserted that to
them treaty means Nottingham they merely
signed engagements when they compelled to,
but always with the full intention of breaking them
when it suited their convenience. There is every
probability that they intend to do the thing
in the present case.
In the meanwhile. however, their willingness to
sign almost any treaty is a sure indication of the
drastic defeat that they suffered at the hands of
the Poles. The allies should step in aad finish the
job, for while the viper is only scotched but not
killed. 1t will sting again.

COUNSEL.

Oh you shall be afraid my boy before you come
to victory, So
Yes you shall see the frightful things that every
man has had to see,
And you shall feel the hurtful blows which every
man has had to bear
But meet them man, my boy, and you the
crown of joy shall wear
Oh, you shall look in failures face and you shall
hear the scoffers jeer,
And you shall feel like giving up because no help
for you is near,
And you shall see your plans 60 wrong and all
your castles tumble down
But keep the faith and start anew. and you shall
some day win renown.
l would not bid you not to weep for tears of grief
shall fill your eyes,
| would not bid you not to care when you shall
lose the thing you prize,
For hurt and pain are hard to bear and, sorrow
cuts into the soul
shall come unto your goal
Ihere shall be days when hope is dim and days
when joy seems far from you.
There shall be rugged hills to climb and dreary
tasks for you to do;
1t is no easy path you fare, no light and simple
game you're in,
Life shall beset and try your strength-but meet
its tests, and you shall win.

TOO MUCH HONOR.

The Stockman. a weekly publication up in Collar
county, has this to say:
"If Judge Mechem would do what the AL
buquerque Morning Journal suggests, self
respecting republican would support him.
Judge Mechem has too much honor to de-
his friends. He would rather not be
governor than secure it through such perfidy.
If the Journal can't support him. he will be
elected without its support"
1t occurs to us that this is a very fair analysis
OF the situation from the standpoint of a supporter
of Judge Meehem.
1t very we'll explains why we withdrew our sup
port. We concluded he had too much honor tc
his friends In view of the facts that the
particular friends this periodical refers to are the
ancient enemies Of public progress and the public
good feared the finish from the beginning.
We hold rather poor opinion of the moral
perceptions of the man who failed to see the fair
import of what he writing

which l reply that a habit, like
Jonah's gourd. does not grow over
night. One must keep at it for
weeks and weeks, if necessary. And
sooner or later one--yes, anyone
will form the habit of dropping off
to sleep for an hour, or half
hour, every afternoon. and reap
the excellent benefits of that habit
"But l haven't time" is another
argument frequently put forth
"If [ sleep every afternoon, when

To this objection reply: Work
on schedule. See to it that your
housework is done on time, so that
at o'clock the dishes of your
midday meal are washed regularly
and YOU will be free to lie down
till 8 O'Clock. Nobody goes calling
before A o'clock, and as for pleas

And then when l get all through

UNCLE WIGGTLY AND BoBBIES
BATH.
(By Howard n. Garls.)

One day, when Uncle Wiggily
was out in front of his hollow
stump bungalow, sprinkling with
the hose, he heard from behind
the hedge a voice saying:
well, I'll soon be leaving you,
Uncle Wiggily. I've come to say
good-bys!"
Goodness me sakes alive and
some chocolate caramel lollypops!"
cried Uncle Wiggily, giving such a
Jump that his pink, twinkling nose
almost fell off. II hope that is
the Pip or the Skee, who wish to
tell me that they will no longer
try to get my souse. But still I'd
rather they wouldn't come, even
to say goodbye"
Uncle Wiggily turned around to
see who had spoken to him from
behind the hedge, and, in doing so,
he turned the nozzle Of the hose
the wrong way and another voice
cried:
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily! You're get
ting me all wet" and there stood
Mrs. Wibblewobble, the duck lady.
"Oh, I beg your pardon1 ex-

"Oh. not" said Mrs. Wibble-
wobhe, with quacking laugh.
