THE srident appeals being made for famine stricken
Russia in made by the forces that
created the condition We blessed allies bockaded
Russia in endeavor destroy the republic set
by the Russians who had deposed their Gar. We sent
armies against them, robbed and shot them The
ga valley suffered from drouth, but it suffered infinitely
from the of the armies sent to destroy the
new Russian government. The cattle and horses,
grain stolen And Big Business points to it's
wounded and impoverished victim and weeps hypocrtca
tears Thank God that the Russian able
to whip hell out of the invader. The same energy will
build up and better Russia True some hundreds
of thousands will die of the famine, plenty will
left for seed And there is going be established
that infinitely rich country that will point
the way to better things verify believe When the
colonsts in this country setting up house keeping

were allowed to take time enough off provide for the
women and children. The red men of the forest
proselyted to the homes of the consts and sup

ON our first page we print the nauseating story of
how high class crook pardoned from Jail by the
President Is possible that Big idotic
enough not to realize that with such examples they
struct undyng dsrespect for all law? The are
filed each day with similar examples proving that rich
has need to fear the law. But it is than
alarming when United States District Attorneys the At
and the President conspire odium law
forcement, serve notice all chrsendom that rich
man cannot be jailed matter what his offense How
they expect others to make pretense of obey
ing any obnoxious laws? The examples here own
state where Prohibition enforcement officials refuse to
act against high class and rich vioators like McClen
athans refusal to try to punish the Backmer for
importing booze by the truck load bad but how much
when the very highest officers the government
make joke of hievery that into millions and which
has cruced thousands of citizens in its commission We
insist that the country is in bad way Mr. Palmer ap-
peared to be corrupt and crooked possible to be
and keep out of Jail but Daugherty is showing him
clean pair of heels in the for conspicuous depravty
in not enforcing the law

THE esteemed Lake City Silver World is the first /
paper to have fit Henry Fords idea of basing
