The largest supporters of our Schools, Public Improve
ments, Charitable Institutions and Churches II our Merchants
and Business Men.
Did it ever occur to you that the improvement of our
city and the enrichment of our property values is due largely
to the growth and development of our merchants business,
and the demand for bigger buildings for the accommodation
of his stock ?
Did you ever stop to think that if everyone went out of
town to trade, in a very few years our stores would find it
necessary to seek other fields, where people patronize their
local merchants ?
These are facts worth careful consideration.
The merchants whose advertising appears on this page
are cooperating towards making Pleasantvlle a better and
more attractive buying center.

mortal meeting which the Workers
Party will hold in the Labor Lyceum,

the passing Of the revolutionary lead
err caused in the hearts Of thousands
of persons hete.
A tribute to Lenin prepared by the
Omaha branch Of the party says:
"He brought peace to Russia. He
drove out misery and strife. He
gathered together the twisted rails
and built railroads. Where canine
laid waste the land he planted wheat.
Idle smokestacks were returned to
their task. A great nation was re-
stored to unity. But he paid the
price"

Russia A Friend
Says Monaghan
Political Leader

PEKING, China.-'T Mongolian
people are sympathetic with Soviet
Russia" says Dunsan Bagatad, chair
man of the central committee of the
Peoples Revolutionary Party in
Mongolia, who is visiting Peking.
Soviet Russia has repudiated the
rapacious policy of the Tsarist gov
eminent and the Mongolians realize
that she is helping the Monaghan
people in gaining and consolidating
their freedom"
Economic conditions are improv-
ing steadily in Mongolia, largely thru
the influence of the co-operatives,
says Bagatad.. In the city, Of Urga,
for instance, the cooperative move
ment is running leather mill, meat,
works, and other enterprises. The
cost Of seed grain for the farmers is
financed in part by the Ministry Of
Finance,

Lenin Greatest
Statesman, Says
Frank p. Walsh

Eulogy could not go higher than
Frank p. Walsh's tribute to Nicolai
Lenin, which he telegraphed to the
Friends Of Soviet Russia.
"The greatest revolutionary states
man Of all time, says the noted
lawyer who has been taking an active
part in the last few years in the
movement for the recognition Of the
Russian republic and in the defense
of radical leaders on trial under re-
dictionary laws.
The telegram follows: "The death
of Lenin marks the passage of the
greatest revolutionary statesman of
all time. As thinker, strategist, and
executive his place is unique in the
history Of revolutionary government.
Regardless Of agreement or disagree
ment with his principles and politics
the world must pay tribute to him,
as an intellectual marvel and a
brave and honest man."

SIGN . Ths DsIIy workerl

MOSCOW. - While Moscow was
still in the throes Of emotion that
followed Lenin's death, foreign min
lister Chicherin announced that the
Russian government would continue
to follow the basic policies Of the
great departed leader.
Peace with all the outside world
and the building Vp Of the industries
and agriculture of Russia will be the
aims of the administrative forces of
the nation, now, as before.
The farewell viewing of Lenin by
the scores of thousands Of mourners
who filed past his bier was an i'm
pressive and solemn occasion such
as has never been seen in the metrop-
oils. The enormous crowd waited
while Lenin's immediate colleagues
and the leaders of the trade unions
took their final look at him when the
doors were opened and the masses of
the people marched past the body.
Lenin lay in a black casket on a
dias draped in red in the hall of the
House of the Unions in Moscow. AS

of sobbing were heard from the PEG

passed career of devotion to their
welfare. The crowd filed past. eight
abreast, with the lines stretching out
for half mile outside.
The mournful farewell continued
until late in the evening, while new
crowds added themselves to the pro-
cession.
Lenin's body left the village of
Gorky, when the premier died. early
IN the morning. 1t was borne from
the Moscow railroad station on the
shoulders of devoted colleagues to
the House Of the Unions, where it
lay in state thruout the day.
Flags hung at half mast all day
over embassies, legations and head
quarters of missions which have rec
ognized Russia or established trade
relations. A solemn quiet marked
the city.

How Much Coz. For War

'It is estimated that 50 out of ev-
cry SO you spend is taken out in
taxes. The CALLING part of this tax
proposition is that only II cents out
of every dollar taken out of the tax
payers pocket for our federal gov
eminent is spent for the general ex-
penses of our government. The re-
mainder goes to pay interest on our
war debts, the upkeep of our army
and navy, pensions, and the support
of our Veterans Bureau-all the
product of war. The pensions and
aid to our ex-service men we do not
begrudge, but it does seem hard that
our people shall be burdened for
years with this great war debt"
This is the gist of speech deliver
ed by Solomon Levitan. State Treas
urer of the State of Wisconsin, be-
fore the Community Club of Denas-
vile, Wise. He made the argument
in favor Of the Mellon plan of tax
reduction. How this would wipe out
the war debt was not made plain.
Tinkering with the tax machine is
merely a method of beneftting one
group Of capitalists as against an
other. In the end the worker pays
all the freight. The way to wipe out
war debts is to wipe them out.

ANOTHER COOLIDGE
REACTIONARY LINED
UP AGAINST FARMERS

WASHINGTON.-Cynical onlool-

ry of the packing trust investigations
and reports by the Federal Trade
Commission, and of the wsy in which
the sheer weight of the packers
money and business power has crush
ed out the hope of punishment Of
their law-breaking, do not expect to
prevent the confirmation of George B.
Christian. Jr., as a member Of the
Commission to succeed Victor Muir
dock, resigned.
They know that Christian, with the
other two reactionaries on the Com
mission, will put an end to the sort
Of work that Murdoch and the two
surviving progressive members have
been doing, both as to the packing
trust and the Minneapolis grain buy
ers' monopoly and the lumber and
coal combines. Business ownership
of government makes a distinct move
forward.
At the same time, the cynical
judges Of politics believe that Mr..
Coolidge will regret this particular
affront to the farmers and wage
workers of the country. Christian
was private secretary to Harding,
the intimate friend Of Fall, and
represents all the indifference 70
public interest which marked the
Harding regime. He knows nothing
of the economic matters with which
the Federal Trade Commission must
deal, and is not inclined to study.
He will be surrounded by advisers
who know precisely what their en-
ployers want.

"The Man From Smiling Pass
by Eliot II. Robinson author of
Smiles" and Smiling Pass" With
, an illustration in color by II. Weston
Taylor.
Abe Blount. the county's demon
still destroyer" leading lawyer
sheriff, and later the attorney
general of one of the mountain
| states, is likened to Honest Abe
Lincoln in Mr.. Robinson's third
Cumberland novel. OF humble
mountain origin, this man comes
} forth to establish law and order. He
Is a self-made man and a firm be-
lever that right must prevail and
the laws must be obeyed. even al
though in the carrying out of his
duties he is obliged to sacrifice
many a warm friendship.
Politics and romance are judicious-
ly woven into 4 story of intriguing
interest. The philosophy of good
cheer is emphasized, and Mr.. Blount
although his path is beset with
difficulties. learns the value of keep
ing cheerful under all circum-
stances. His struggle to clear his
name from suspicion and to keep
the faith, makes him a real hero in
the mind of every reader.
The authors expression of senti-
ments on politics andxbn life is re-
plete with food for thought. For
instance. the following expressed in
the dialact of the mountain: "Haow
can mankind ever hope tew move
upward and onward to the finer
things, the higher levels, without
stumbling again and again, if we
deliberately blind aourself tew the
pitfalls with which the road is
lined Ignorance is a pit-a
deep black pit. And understanding
a bridge across it. The stronger
the bridge is built. the safer it will
be for people to walk upon"
The inside of politics as the game
can be played in some sections, is
brought to light in the story--also
the thought that it is not always
the "glad-hand artist" with his
bundle of smiles who is the real
statesman. even though such
articles may prove Of immense
value to him in his political ad-
vancement.. Mr.. Biounts manner of
Contending against the designs of
schemng politicians and lawlcss
mountaineers form an intensely in
teresting part of the novel.

the best thing that Mr.. Robinson
has yet written. is published by l..
