4 MONUMENT TO LANE.

From the Seattle st-Intelligencer.
 It falls to the lot of few men to have 7,000-foot monument dedicated to their memories, but such an honor will be accorded Franklin K. Lane, ex- Secretary of the Interior. If the re- commentators of the national park advisory board are acted upon favor ably by the national board of geo. graphic names. The most prominent unnamed peak in the Rainier national park group, south of the Mountain, has been chosen to perpetuate the memory of Lane.
 A number of the peaks in the Rain fer or Tatoosh group have been left unnamed with the express purpose in view of using them as monuments to persons connected with the develop ment or conservation of national re- sources, and 1t Is the announced poli- cy of the national board of geographic names not to use the name of any liv- ing person for any of the unnamed peaks.

Communism Makes No
 Progress in America
M M M

v INoVIEFF, minister of commu- A nications in the cabinet of Lenine, is quoted as saying in a re- cent speech in Moscow that the com munist party is "very weak" in America and Great Britain.
 Radicalism throughout the United States reached it's highest point dur ing the World war. It has since been on the wane and will doubtless con tinue to lessen as normal conditions are restored and the inevitable unrest following the war is succeeded by a period of conservative progress.
 It is gratifying, however, to have the word of soviet leader that Amer ica, so far as bolshevism is concerned, is in bad way. The hard, common sense of the native stock in America has never been susceptible to radical doctrine. Intelligence revolts at the preposterous claims of bolshevism, which are being disproved daily in Russia. It is the ignorant newcomer who listens to the agitator and is misled by false teaching.
 Work, education and the exercise of more care in admitting immigrants will protect America from sporadic outbreaks of bolshevism and anarchy The nation that fights illiteracy and encourages patriotism has nothing to fear from such people as Lenine and Trotzky.

 m ICH are the lessons for news lN[ paper makers that the career
 S S of Henry Woodhn Grady offers, and the unveilng of the Atlanta mon ument should emphasize those lessons no less than the establishment of the Henry W. Grady School of Journalism by the University of Georgia at Ath- ems. The seventy first birthday ami versary of the great Georgian who was also a great American, recalls how young he was when he died in 1883; and how much of energy and &C., tivity was crowded into the nine years one-fourth owner of the Atlanta Con- stitution.
 Grady was a worker, a newspaper man rather than a journalist" We suppose his record of a 10-column story of what was called the Ham burgh massacre, written for the New York Herald in one night, and from memory of observations, not from notes, has rarely if ever been excelled by any correspondent. He had edited two newspapers in Atlanta and had owned one of them before he bought into the Constitution. His relations with Evan P. Howell, the father, and Clark Howell. the son, his partners.
 were close and friendly. But when the inevitable prohibition question hii Georgia first, the Howells were dry. Grady was wet in sentiment. They compromised. Every day the Consti- tuition had a wet editorial column long by Grady, dry editorial col
 umn long by Clark Howell. And so
 the people got both sides of the ques- tion, fully and frankly stated
 Characteristic of Grady's humor is this story of a newspaper correction" A lanky hill-type Georgian entered his | office one fine forenoon, produced 8

Soldier Hospital Plan
 Is We'll Under Way

A7INE new hospitals, which will &C., IN commodate 5000 patients, will soon be prepared to house disabled service men. This announcement is made by the public health depart ment. Rapid progress on the whole hospital programme is also reported.
 It is stated that three of the new hospitals, in Montana, Iowa and Ore gon, will be ready within three months. This is the first and most important step in the soldier relief programme. The first duty is owed to the men who were disabled in war. The next most important function of soldier relief is vocational training. This, fortunately, has been under way for some time. Many service men have graduated and are earning their livelihood in a more remunerative way than they could have done but for their having been soldiers.

 A DILEMMA.

From the Los Angeles Times.
 There are still one or two of the time stock" theatrical companies touring the smaller towns. One o1 these has at least 20 plays on its list Recently it was giving show in a village hall.
 The performance was pretty bad but the villagers found it quite in teresting till. at the great climax IT the third act, the hero forgot his part
 After an embarrassing silence o1 about two minutes he hissed audibls to the prompter:
 What's the line?"
 What's the play!" the prompter hissed back from his little box. as he grabbed a pile of two or three dozen books and began to run through them feverishly.

DIRGE FOR A SOLDIER.

By George H. Boker. Close his eyes; his work is done!
 What to him is friend or foeman, Rise of moon or set of sun, Hand of man or kiss of woman? Lay him low. lay him low. In the clover or the snow! What cares he? He cannot know;
 Lay him low!
 As man may, he fought his fight,
 Proved his truth by his endeavor; Let him sleep in solemn might Sleep forever and forever. Fold him in his country's stars. Roll the drum and fire the volleyl What to him are all our wars. What but death bemocking folly3 Leave him to Gods watching eye; Trust him to the hand that made him Mortal love weeps idly by; God alone has power to aid him.

THE OLD TIME CIRCUS MAN

New York City went [. B. Lent's show,
 one of the best of it's day. travelling
 over the north in the summer and the south in the winter.
 In those days originated many of the picturesque expressions which be- carie q part of show literature. One of the names for an animal and circus combination was tha Unparalleled Great Royal Cirque-Zoolodon." It sur vlve1 only year. The transportation was by wagons; the show loaded up | after the last performance and trav-
 eled by night to the next stand It was a hard life, but a life with fas,
 cination from which those who began lit could scarcely ever recover. There
 was the frequent peril from the rowdy and there were dangers from floods
 and storm. The route was often along the old National road to Columbus. O..
 and then 10 the Mississippi valley or | to Zanesville, O., and from there on the 'Marysville pike to Kentucky and the south. The trick was to get in a day from enc county seat to another. | The roads of southern Ohio. an es- pecially profitable field for the circus. were at different times of the year i'll execrable condition. There was one
 
 kingum to that of Perry which always remained vividly fixed in the old show mans memory. A small stream, the Buokcve, in the spring freshet cos, every show which vetnured there part of it's equipment. When Forepaugh last hazarded it. his band wagon was carried away by the stream, his musi- clans narrowly escaping with their 1 lives. A husky farmer boy. seeing one lof ipna al doxx
 stream, broke open the den and swan
 to the bank with the animal in his
 arms. Don't you know that's the
 most savage creature in the world?'-
 shouted the old snowman. Tt aint
 the gyascutus. is it?" asked the farmer
 boy Il saved a lion and tiger for
 that other fellows show. but he said l they were nothing to this wild gyas-
 cutus." The gyascutus story is an
 old circus classic; it has been at trbuted to many showmen and many
 places. and we do not imagine we shall
 settle the matter when we say that q
 few years ago there hung framed on the walls of a Buckeye valley farm house, as a prized treasure, a piece of paper CT which was roughly scribbled. Pass Bill Axline any time any where. A. 4-Paw.
 He's the wild gyascutlis."
 RoblnSon was perhaps the last Sur- viver of the romantic age of the show busiress in America. They were sturdy | old fellows to the last, with keen
 knowledge of the world and human na- ture who fought each other bitterly ih the summer season, laughed heartily over their battles when they foregath- ereu at the old Continental. the Cosmo- lralitan or the Putnam House in winter. But If anybody imagines that the small road shows have entirely disappeared, let him drop in on the 400 or 800 rep 'ressntatives of the Showman's associa-
 tion at their next annual convention.

'rBuddies" Meet Again

"An amusing thing happened re- gently when B. M. Hedrick. who Is di- recting the Make e-It- a-Million' for Birming ham, Southern, walked into my office one day and said he would like to introduce Dr. Guy Snavely," said Harry Halfacre, manager of the Tut wiler.
 T looked up at Hedrick and said very casually that I'd be glad to meet Dr. Snavely. Hedrick started out of my office when suddenly it occurred to me that I had seen him before and thought the same thing at the same time, for he looked at me and then we both realized that we'd been in the same war work in France together.
 "Hedrick had gone over with the 'Y.' and so had I. and we had been 'Buddies' during the entire war. Of course, neither of us was expecting to see the other, and I suppose I looked as different to him in citizens clothes as he did to me when he didn't have on his uniform, so we didn't recognize each other.
 ''Hedrick Is a fine fellow and Is working like Trojan for the Make It. Million drive.
 And speaking of drives reminds me that the employees of the Tutwiler gave $50 to the Salvation Army last week as contribution to their drive"
