Sl.50 A Year in Advance

ter we arrived Mr.. Carr took us for
a twelve mile hike, showing US the
place. 1t sure looks like good in
vestment. Seven miles up the valley
is boys college, owned by rich
hermit. He won't allow a woman on
the place, not even cook, if he can
help it. Boys train for college here.
They run the ranch to pay their way,
lasso cows, etc. Cecile and Louis
were very glad to see us and were so
surprised to see Mable. Day before
yesterday we had real trip. Started
out in Ford car which has two extra
gear shafts, put in purposely for
mountain climbing. Took our lunch
and started with Lou up in National
Forest to see aobut some wood the
company had purchased. We went
up and up as far as we could with
the Ford then at the top or this place
at 5000 ft. elevation we got out
and walked right up the side of the
mountain. Had to use big guide
sticks and walk side ways to make
the grade. Oh yes, some places we
had to get out and push the Ford be-
fore we got this far. Well at the top
we found cabin which was inhabit-
ed by a white man who had gold
mine over on another peak. He in
vited us in his cabin ana then took
US over to his mine which was very
interesting indeed. Gave us all light
ed candles and said to follow him.
He had made this hole large enough
so we could stand straight. 1t was
500 fit. long and several alleys lead
ing from the main place. Had lit
tie track laid on which was run
little dump car to carry out the gold
ore. He is near what he expects is
very rich vein which will enable him
to retire. Was very refined, well
cultured gentleman and we wonder
ed how he could stand the solitude.
Today we have on hip boots because
we have had such a snow fall. We
intended to leave tomorrow but the
road and mountain pass is so full
no one knows when we will get away,
but we should worry, we are having
fine time. You would never think
you could get snow bound in, Sunny
California twenty miles from a train
but here we are. While we were in
the woods we picked up large arm
full of Juniper blossoms. There is
fine water piped in the house. Real
cosy Will be home soon now. Hope
you are all fine. / am feeling fine
and this mountain air and walking
sure is good for any one. Be sure
the rest read this letter it is for you
all.

BAY CITY BANDITS CAPTURED

1t is now believed the police of
Bay City have in custody the men
who robbed the Broadway Savings
Bank of that city, January Is, and
killed Nelson Debats and l.. M. Per-
sons, citizens. Edward Walko-
WAX, first taken in Gust d y,
and who was taken to Caro-, for safe
keeping, because of the tense state OF
public feeling in Bay City, made the
first confession to the officers. This
was corroborated in a confession
made by Nowak, who had been placed
in the Saginaw County Jail. lie
said that he, Kubiak and Olejonzak
entered the branch bank and COM
manded Debats and Persons and the
two bank employees to throw up their
hands. The bank employees and Per-
sons did so, but DeBats turned
around and laughed in the bandits
face.
1--WE gave them 65 seconds, then
began to shoot" Nowak said in his
confession.
1t was Olejonczak who jumped
over the counter and gathered in the
money, according to Nowak, who said
that both heand Kubiak, alleged lead
er of the gang, fired the shots that
killed DeBats and Persons.
Nowak also confessed, according
to Sheriff Baskin, that it was he and
his gang that robbed gasoline sta
tion at Bay City several months ago
and is said to have admitted also that
it was he, who knocked down w. A
Hammer, the old man in charge OF
the station.
Told that Nowak had made con.
fession, Olejinczak, third member OF
the bandit party, also made COM
plete statement to Sheriff Baskin and
other local officers at the Saginaw
county Jail.
Olejinczak's confession, according
to the sheriff, corroborates those
made by Nowak and Walkowiak
naming Nowak and Kubiak as the
ones who shot and killed Persons ano
DeBats and admitting that it was he
who vaulted over the bank counter
shot into the floor to frighten the
bank employees into submission, anc
gathered up the money lying in the
teller's cage.
Olejinczak, the officers say, tolc
them that each he, Nowak and Ku
biak got 81, ,010 as their share Of the
bank loot, and that each gave Walk
owiak, driver of their automobile
$40. They burned the checks anC
the $50 liberty bond taken with tn,
currency.

Twain's Plea For Praise.

Mark Twain was a not infrequent con-
tributor to the columns of the New York
Tribune and a warm friend OF Whitelaw
Reds He was just coming into view as
author and lecturer when they first became
acquainted, and the humorist's notes often
relate to his affairs and his friends careful
interest in them. 81 thank you heartily for
saving me that gratuitous snub in the Trib-
une, and shall be glad to choke a slur for
you if ever get chance. / guess this
cmanated from some hummer who owes
me borrowed money and can't forgive the
offensc. Yours ever, Mark" Again he asks
for the announcement of new lecture
at covers my whole acquaintance-%ings,
humorists, lunatics, idiots and ALL" and
again it is his "Innocents Abroad" for
which he Graves a helpful word. To-day"
he writes, my new book will be sent to
the Tribune and this is to ask you il you
won't get your reviewer to praise the bad
passages and feeble places in it for me-
They are the only ones / am worrying
about, you know-the meritorious parts can
get along themselves, of course"-From

restlessness, a sor. of undulating movement

restlessness, sort of undulating movement
which is mass action. This only takes
form and definite purpose when the leader
comes to represent it, to organize. and
unity it.
Mr.. Bryan is rather apt to start at the
other end and read his own opinions, senti-
ments, or dicta as popular demands. He is
rather apt to mistake that he~is COM
posite of the mass; that what moves his
soul is the translated soul of the folks and
that his aspirations are theirs
In spite of all he may say, this gives him
the appearance of being a leader efrom
himself down rather than from the mass up
He has the appearance of providing the
issues, rather than of taking them from
popular demands, and of providing such
food as he thinks they should have, rather
than sitting down with them at their table

The company of just and right
eous men Is better than wealth and
rich estate.-Euripides.
A Greek Bulwark.

TT is difficult to think back to your
school days and not sympathze with
=; the aspirations of the Greeks. Every
schoolboy and girl, if they had nothing else
IN history, had at least a smattering of the
giories of Ancient Greece, of her pre-
emfnence m art, IN literature, in govern
ment and her great contributions to that
culture which is so essential a factor of
civilization.
What she gave to the world the world
stll has 1t is imperishable, and now she
asks the world but that where Greeks have
elung fast and are still the dominant peo-
pie, that territory shall again be Greek.
More than that, she is now in possession of
this territory which If taken from her, will
be given 10 the Turks.
II Is hard 10 turn from this and excuse
the opportunism which is a product of but
. practical condition of the immediate time.
Il Is hard to excuse Italy and France for
a Jealousy which seems without just cause,
which would saerihce Greece to further
their own selhshness and inability to meet
situation
The remaking of the map since the war
has been largely forming of bulwarks
against former enemies, potential enemies
and hostile movements. Finland, the Bal
tic states, Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Ru-
mania, Jugo-Slavia are but defenses against
\ reunion of Germany with her political
neighbors-
They are expected to prevent Germany
from reaching out for Russia and Hum
garisn alliances, and the Bolshevild from
breaking through to the West. But blocked
there, the Russians are moving South and
East, threatening all of Asia Minor, Per-
sia and India
There it would seem that Greece would
be the best possible protection If Boil
shevised Turkey is not 10th to move East
and to reach into Italy and from that
route, West. She would seem the logical
force to use, to keep the Turks within
bounds.
If she needs Mohammedan alliance, so
that Moslem may fight Moslem to remove
the Christian sting, a reconstructed, TN
robbed Arabia, consistently loyal to the
allies, is ready at hand. 1t would not seem
necessary to offend all Mohammedans in
order to suppress the Turks, nor to return
the Turks to the world equation as a con-
slant menace, to avoid justice to the
friendly Arabs
France has bigger bite than she can
chew, and is ready to leave one mandate
and is ready to hand over to Britain South
ern Syria Why not instead of this give to
the Arabs what is theirs? Why not settle
Asia Minor in seemingly the only way that
promises future peace and not a mere i'm
mediate cessation of hostilities?

From the Bottom Up to Him.

Mr.. Bryan IS again busy organizing tho
Democratic party from the bottom up.
This always means Gus" to him He is right
IN theory and, in fact, is not far wrong in
practice. 1t is the part of true leadership
70 appeal to the mass.
1t is the part of the skilled politician to
find out what is public sentiment and then
to guide it sympathetically along the way
he believes to be right. 1t is only the
demagogue who goes along with it and
uses it to his personal advantage
Mr.. Bryan is not demagogue He is
real leader. He has accused others of
Stealing his clothes" and the appropria-
hon, II not stealing, can hardly be denied.
He has enough OF consistency and convic-
ton, with sufficient courage to make him of
real value.
The strength of all self-government lies
in freedom of opinion and the equal free
dom for difference of opinion. No one has
done more than Mr.. Bryan, at least as an
Mritant, and quite as certainly in construc-
tive advocacy Whether his contributions
are regarded as wisdom or folly, does not
change the fact.
But where he falls in his appeal is in a
eress-eyed habit of mind He seems to
look IN one direction, when it is quite evil
dent, he sees in anothers He appears to be
thinking down when he is thinking in.
Parties, party reorganizations, political
movements do not spring spontaneously
hcm the mass. They are the product of
leadership.
II is only unrest; incoherent unsssembled

The First Relic Of Man.

The first unmistakable relic of man in
Europe is human lower jaw found in the
Mauer sands near Heidelberg. 1t seems to
belong to the second or Mindel-Riss inter-
glacial epoch, and its age is estimated by
Osborn at about 100000 years. Remains
characteristic of the Oldest Paleolithic
epochs occur between 80 and As feet below
the surface If we are to find ar, archaeo-
logical name for this epoch, there seems to
be no better one than Eolithic, the dawn
of the Stone Age, when European man had
hardly more than begun to chip stone
implement, although we must recognize;
the unreadiness of many or most archae-
plogists to find place for such rude prod
ucts.-From "The New Stone Age in,
Northern Europe" by John M. Tyler
