REDS ATTEMPT TO BEWILDER PEOPLE Amazing Theories Bared , Emissaries' Guidebook. in WORLD DICTATOR IS PLAN Destruction of Religion and All Initiative Power In Minds of People Is Stepping-Stone. ET CARL W. ACKERMAV, ICopyrleht by the Public Ledger Company. Published by Arrangement.) NEW YORK, Oct. 27. A prominent American diplomat has placed at my disposal a Russian document which bears every evidence of being the guidebook of the world revolu tionists. It ia a booklet of 24 protocols, writ ten by one of "he leaders of the bol shevist movement for the guidance of the secret council of the soviet, and was brought to the United States re cently by an American intelligence officer who has been in Moscow and Petrograd. These protocols, excerpts of which here are published for the first time, show the diabolical methods of the world's master anarchists in planning the destruction of all government and the substitution of proletariat dicta torships under the supreme control of a man like Lenine. In the third paragraph of protocol 1 this state ment is made: Violence la Advocated. "It must be noted that the people with bad instincts are more numerous than those with good ones, so the best result in governing them Is obtained by intimidation and violence and not by academic arguments. "Every man aims for power, every one wants to be dictator if possible, and at the jami time few would not sacrifice the good of others for the attainment of their own ends. Right is might. "Political freedom is an idea and not m. fact," the article read. "It is necessary to know how to apply this Idea when there is need of intellec tual bait to gain the support of the people for a party. I' such is under taken to break another party already in power. Theory Ia Expounded. "This aim is made easier if the op ponent himself is carried away by the principle of freedom or so called liberalism, and for the sake of the idea will give up some of his power. It is here that the success of our theory becomes apparent. The weakened reins of authority re immediately grasped, according to the laws of existence, by a new hand because the blind force of the people cannot be tolerated to remain without a leader for even a day,, and the new authority simply steps into the position of the old, already weak' , oned by liberalism." In speaking of the methods of Intro ducing anarchy, the superman of bol shevism confesses there cannot be "healthy, logical hope of guiding the masses successfully by thoughtful ar guments or by statements when there Ls a, possibility of contradiction. Party Dlvlxlon Feared. "Guided by exceptionally shallow passions, beliefs, customs, traditions and sentimental theories, the people in the crowd are inclined to party di visions. At such a time as this, after gov ernments have been weakened, by "liberalism," the protocol states, an irchy may be introduced into govern ment and "our right lies in force." The word "right" is an abstract thought and there are no proofs of it. The word means nothing more than give me that which I want, that I may have proof of my super strength over you. In a government wh poor ly organized authority, where the laws tnd ruler are powerless, I find a new right that of attack following the right of strongest and the destruc tion of all existing regulations and statutes, of grasping the laws and changing all the institutions and be coming the ruler of those who give us the right to their own rower by abdi cating it voluntarily and liberally. Taking up the unrest which today la world-wide, the Russian document states that: "With the present insta bility of all authority our power will be more unassailable than any other because it will be invisible until it is well rooted that no cunning can undermine it." In view of the radical agitation in the United States and the success with which William Z. Foster and other extremists have "bored" into the American Federation of Labor and the astounding number of unauthorized strikes in this country, the protocol of Russia might be also the protocol of the boishevists here. "Our password is power and hypoc risy, for only power can conquer in politics, especially if it Is hidden in talents necessary to govern people." Xo Method Too Evil to Use. This excerpt from protocol 2: "Violence must be the principle; hypocrisy and cunning the rule of the government which does not wish to lay down its crown at the feet of the agents of any new power. Evil is the sole means of reaching the goal of good. For this reason we must not hesitate at bribery, cheating and treason when these can enable us to reach our end. In poli tics it is necessary to take the prop erty of others without hesitation if by that we obtain submission and authority. "Our government, following the lino of peaceful conquest, his the right to substitute for the horrors of war the less noticeable and more efficient executions. "A Just but inexorable strictness is the greatest factor of the govern ment. We must follow a programme of violence and hypocrisy, not only for the sake of profit, but also as a duty and for the sake of victory." The cold-blooded manner in which ACTRESS TELLS SECRET Tells How to Darken Gray Hair With a Home-Made Mixture. Joicey Williams, the well-known actress, who was recently playing at the Imperial Th'atre in St. Louis, made the following statement about gray hair and how to darken it: "Anyone can prepare a simple mix ture at home that will darken gray, streaked or faded hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum. a small box of Barbo Compound, and 4 ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray-haired person look twenty years younger. It does not color the scalp, is not sticky or the Bolshevist leaders set out to ! gain control of masses of men and women is indicated by the follow ing sentence: "We always played upon the most sensitive chords of the human mind greed and the In satiable material desires of men. Each of these human weaknesses, taken separately, is capable of kill ing initiative and of placing the will of the people at the disposal of the buyer of their activities." "Abstract liberty," the testament reads, "offered us the opportunity of convincing the masses that govern ment is only the management of the country and that it can be changed like a pair of gloves." Protocol . 2 deals with the substi tution of internationalism for nation alism. It says at the beginning: World Determination Ia Goal. "It is necessary for us that war, whenever possible, should bring no territorial advantage. This will shift war to an economic basis and force nationals to see the strength of our great power with their aid. Such a condition will place both sides in the grip of our international agency, with its millions of eyes, its watchfulness unhampered by any frontiers. Then our international rights will eliminate national rights in a narrow sense and they will govern the people in the same way that the civil power of the governments govern the- relationship of its subjects among themselves." In discussing the attitude of the press, one of the articles observes that "The triumph of free speech is concentrated in the press. But gov ernments are unable to profit by this power because it is falling into our hands." And then turning to religion and religious liberty. Church to Be Destroyed. Protocol 4 maintains that "liberty could be harmless and remain on the programme of governments without loss to the well-being of the people if it were to retain the principle of the belief in God, the brotherhood of man. exclusive of the thought of equality, contradicted by the laws of existence which establish servitude. With such a belief the people would be governed by the guardians of the parish and would thrive quietly and obediently under the guidance of their spiritual leaders, accepting God's ways of this earth. "It is for this reason that we must undermine faith, extract from the minds of the people the very prin ciple of God and soul and replace these conceptions by arithmetical calculations and material demands." This fits in well with the bolshevist programme in Russia of destroying the influence of the church and of substituting the materialism of prop erty forcefully taken from one and given to another. In relating the methods used to destroy faith in the czar, this protocol states: "At the time when people consid ered that the rulers expressed the will of God, they subjected them selves, without murmur, to the autoc racy of the czars, but as soon as we inspired them with the thought of their personal rights, they began to regard the rulers as plain human be ings. The anointment of God fell from the heads of the czars in the regard of the people. Then we de- i prived them of this belief in God, whereupon authority was thrown into the street, where it became public property and was grasped by us." Plan la to Perplex Public In recent years the soapbox orator has been considered the chief spokes man of radicalism, and the doctrines which they have expounded have al ways seemed absurd In the minds of intelligent human beings. But accord ing to the document which I am quot ing, "it is necessary to perplex pub lic opinion f.n order to conquer it. We will appropriate to ourselves the physiognomy of all parties of all opinions, and provide them with ora tors who will talk so much that they will exhaust the people by their speeches," and then the "failings of people, their habits, passions, laws of living." will be so "intensified that nobody will be able to disentangle himself in the chaos. Consequently, people will cease to understand each other." This will help us to create disagreement among all parties, to disintegrate all those collective forces which still do not wish to subjugate themselves to us. There is nothing n-oro dangerous than private initia tive. If it has a touch of genius it car. accomplish more than a million people among whom we have sown dissension. We must so direct the education of society that its arms will drop hopelessly In the face of in itiative. The intensity resulting from freedom of action diffuses power when it is brought face to face with another person's liberty. This results in heavy moral blows, disappoint ments and failures. "We will so tire the people by all this that we will force them to offer us international power, which, by its position, will be enabled to absorb all the governmental forces of the world, and then form a super-government. Its arms will stretch on all sides like nippers and will form so colossal an organization as cannot but subjugate all the nations." Dissension Is Entering; Wedge. The ideal of the boishevists, ac cording to protocol 7, is to be con sidered "the aviators of mankind." This article, which is the briefest of the 24, and which is the last one I shall quote in this telegram, reads as follows: "The concentration of armament and the growth of the political state are essential to the realization of the above-mentioned plans. It is essential in our governments that there should be only a mass of proletariats, a few millionaires devoted to us, politicians and soldiers." This statement applies as well to this country as Russia. The bolshe vist sympathizers who testified be fore the senate committee investigat ing bolshevism acknowledged that they were aided invthis work in this country by "rich women." "We must foment dissension and animosities through Europe and with their help in other continents," con tinues protocol 7. Duplicity Also Advocated. "There is double usefulness In this: First, we will retain the respect of all countries by this method for they will realize we have the power to create disorders, or to bring order whenever we wish. All these countries have be come accustomed to regarding us as a necessary pressure. Second, we will entangle by intrigues all the threads stretched by us into the government cabinets with the aid of politics, eco nomic treaties and indebtednesses. To attain this we will come to parleys and negotiations armed with cunning and evasiveness, but in so- called 'official language we will sus tain the opposite tactics of seeming honesty. In this way the people and governments will be taught by us to regard only the surface of that which we show them and will look upon us as the benefactors and aviators of mankind. "We must be able to counteract all opinion of war by the neighbors of that country which would dare to con tradict us, but even should these neighbors decide to stand collectively against us, we must protect ourselves by a. world war." Actress Condemns Corsets. NEW YORK. Mrs. Beatrice Forbes Robertson, the niece of the famous English actor, addressed a conference of physicians in this city the other night. She condemns tight corsets, high heels and hobble skirts. . She maintains that the freakish attire af fected by women of the United States is the cause of most of the nervous POWER PLANTS ADVOGflTED PORTIiAXD-VAXCOUVEK INTER STATE IDEA ADVANCED. A. Jj. Haley of Port of Vancouver Tells of Possibilities for Us ing Mountain Streams. -Establishment of an Interstate hydro-electric system by Portland and Vancouver as a means of build ing up these cities and adjoining communities is proposed by A. L. Haley, an engineer retained by the Port of Vancouver, after a careful study of power development in tha middle western and eastern states. Mr. Haley was formerly connected with the United States shipping board and the emergency fleet cor poration. His study in the east cov ered a period of six weeks. While made primarily for his employers it was, in a broader sense, for the bene fit of this entire district he said yes terday, on his arrival in this city. Within a radius of 100 miles from Portland, Mr. Haley said. 500,000 horse-power of electric energy can be developed and this would mean wonders in the way of encouraging and building up industrial life of the two cities. "To get down to the real situa tion," said Mr. Haley, "the two elec tric companies of Portland have de veloped 111,000 horse-power. There is at this time, according to figures, a demand for 200,000 horse-power. Now there is an everlasting supply of power in the water falls tributary to Portland and Vancouver and this energy will not decrease or falter in its service once it Is brought into subjection." There is in the Cowlitz 120,000 horse-power, only 60 miles distant, and 300,000 . horse-power in the Deschutes, less than 100 miles away, said Mr. Haley. In addition there are valuable falls on the Santiam. not to speak of the enormous strength in the falls of the Columbia at Celilo, where government figures show a mean annual average of 300,000 horse power available. "If it could properly be brought' before the people of Portland and Vancouver," he continued, "so they would understand the benefits they would receive from utilization of the waterfalls there would be no trouble in getting 'a bond issue of $25,000, 000. "I am told it costs Portland $12,000 a day for its fuel and electric cur rent, or $4,980,000 per annum. Much of this could be saved by supplying ourselves with electricity for all purposes. Water power developed on public grounds ty private individuals or private corporations must pay a government tax for the use of the water, gauged at 10 cents per horse power per year at the beginning and increased to $1 per horse-power per year in ten years. "Water power developed by munic ipalities pays no tax at all. bo if Portland and Vancouver districts should issue bonds and develop, say 500,000 horse-power, the city weuld be saving $500,000 a year In govern ment taxes, in addition to its citi zens getting their electricity at cost, precisely as you do your water from Bull Run and all kinds of factories would seek locations here. Tou would establish a mighty payroll which would continually increase and always force prosperity upon your communities. Tou have all the in gredients which go to make up a great and busy city. Tou have but to utilize them. There is almost everything in its raw state, and na ture has made provision for easy and cheap conversion of these gifts into the finished article. "I swwe-est that Portland people unite with the citizens of Vancouver and build an Interstate power plant of sufficient magnitude to serve the requirements of both cities. Van couver, as Portland must know, has an extremely friendly feeling toward Portland, and I feel sure no diffi culty would be experienced in mak ing a connection of this kind. This brotherly feeling was cemented by the union of the interest of the two municipalities in the construction of the interstate bridge which has been of tremendous benefit to both." BURGLARS CONTINUEWORK SEVEX BURGLARIES AND ONE HOLDUP ARE REPORTED. Pedestrian Robbed of 90 Cents and Residence of ReT. J. H. Black Ransacked During Absence.

JENKINS WINS FREEDOM AT PUEBLA. News Concerning Official Held for $150,000 Ransom Is Received by His Relatives. HANFORD, Cal.. Oct. 27. William O. Jenkins, American consular agent at Puebla. Mexico, who was kidnaped by Mexicans last Sunday and held for $150,000 ransom, was released by the bandits yesterday, according to infor mation received last night by rela tives here. The telegram was from Jenkins' sister, who was visiting at the ranch from which ho was kidnaped. It read : 'Oscar was rescued this afternoon. Advise relatives. ANN." As the telegram was telephoned here from Fresno, the family did not learn the date it bore. The telegram was received by the consular agent's father, John W. Jenkins, from his daughter. Miss Annie Jenkins, shortly before mid night tonight. Mr. Jenkins said no ransom money had been put up for the release of his son as far as he knew, and that he had no idea how the rescue was effected. "All I know Is what the telegram stated," he said. Jenkins was kidnaped one week ago tonight, but news of his deten tion did not reach his family here until last Wednesday, when a tele gram was received from his sister. Miss Annie Jenkins. Later word came from her that besides kidnaping Mr. Jenkins, the bandits, who held him for ransom, had plundered his ranch home, securing $60,000. Mr. Jenkins did not consider he was in any personal danger from bandit bands, which he knew were in the vicinity of his ranch, according to his letters to his relatives here. Mr. Jenkins' father, in a statement given out here last Wednesday,, said the' ransom demanded by the bandits would be paid. However, he appealed to national and California officials for assistance in securing his son's re lease. This is the second time the American consul has been held for ransom, his relatives having been forced to pay $25,000 to a band of bandits about five years ago under somewhat similar circumstances. He Is said to be worth several million dollars. Whether his relatives In Puebla, his wife, two daughters and one sister, had paid the sum demanded on this occasion the sister's telegram today did not state. Another daughter is attending school in Los Angeles. - Mr. Jenkins is 41 years old and has been in Mexico 18 years. He is a prominent merchant and manufacturer of Puebla. Besides his consular post at that point he is connected with the American embassy in Mexico City in a capacity not exactly known here. Mr. Jenkins' relatives here did not consider his life in danger at any time during his detention by the bandits.. Mr. Jenkins' abductors were masked at the time they appeared at his ranch home. According to his family they were three in number. Stringent representations were made to the Mexican government by the American government, looking toward Mr. Jenkins' release and it was said that measures to this end were taken on the personal direction of Presi dent Carranza.

I would spend half the day getting the room to look comfortable and inviting. Then, when my husband came home, we would light np and it would look like a rummage sale. This went on for a week, until at last I went downtown and told my troubles to Mr. Bibber, the mer chant from whom I bad brought our furniture. "Yon say it looks all right in the day time and all wrong at night," he said. "What kind of lighting fixtures have you?"
