AMERICA FEEDS RUSSIA.

America this winter will feed and
cluthc hundreds of thousands of
Russian bulsh"viais and keep them
from starving or freezing TO death.
Rus la has Just ~ good crop sea
sons as America. but America has
not been undergoing the theories of
a i",oluiion led by wild or corrupt
fanatics.
America has not been trying to
put crazy economic theories into
practice.
America has been working, and
has food FOR herself and to spare.
Some things need adjusting in
this country, to be sure. but we have
not yet deemed II wise to burn the
barn down in order to kill the rats.
Tho Russians should think about
these things while they are eating
our bread this winter.

that 1t moves too slowly and there
is much unrest because of it.

Tor months past. These measures
should be passed or they should be
defeated. The uncertainty with re-

any result that would follow their
passage or defeat.
Instead of dispOsing OF these meas
ures, one way or the other, congress
taxes months recess.
There Is no excuse for this not "A

Congress should adopt "A definite

stituents that there is growing dis

STAND BY THE LAW.

There are too many laws, Of
course. Many OF them are unncccs-
sary, some are vcxatious and some
are even vicious.
But 1t 10 the duty of every good
citizen to obey the law SO long as It
is on the statue books. There is no
other safe course.
1t 10 perfectly proper to insist that
= law 10 wrong, and to work for its
repeal. but It Ia never safe to violate
any law.
When we begin to violate one law.
We create disrespcct for all other
laws, and when our laws fall into
disrepute our civilization ends.
Ours is a government of law. We
cannot have government without
laws and obedience to the laws.
Without this, life and procrty are
not, safe.
1t is therefore the duty OF every
citizen to obey the law himself and TO
insist upon obedience to the law by
all others.
A good citizen will not only obey
the law himself but he will assist in
the enforcement Of the law upon and
for others.

SOME WAR FIGURES.

David +. Houston, former secre-
tary OF the treasury. is authority for
the statement that since the foun-
dation OF our government we have
spent in round numbers sixty-seven
billion dollars, and of this fifty-eight
billions went for wars-that is, for
the army and navy and their auxili-
aries and for pensions and on the
public debt.
And yet We claim to be an enlight-
snsd, q civilized, a peaceful and a
Christian nation.
The figures indicate that We have
been a nation OF hypocrites. We have
Aot been living up to our profession.
Asybe, though If we of this genera.
uon give the figures the thought
that We ought to give them, we will
begin to do better. 1t has not been
necessary in the past to spend 40
much money on war purposes, and it
Will not be necessary in the future.

An orange tree has been known to
produce 10000 oranges; the product
of the lemon tree is about one-third
of this amount.
The orange, originally. was pear
shaped fruit. about the size of the
wild cherry. Its evolution
is believed by nuturalists to be due
to 1900 years of cultivation.
