Radicalism In power breeds, first more extreme radicalism, and then reaction, remnrxs one writing ol conditions In Europe. This was true in Kussla, where the moderate so cialism of Kercnsky was quickly suc ceeded by the radical socialism of Lenlne and Trotzky. Once the pco pie put their faith in the mere pro- grama of politicians, without respect to the appeal the schemes make to sober common sense, power quickly passea from the hands of tiiose who promise and deliver less to those of leaders who promise more. In tier- many moderate soclnllHin Is giving way to more radical socluliKin, communism, to syndicalism. Thlfc la turn will be succeeded by evei more radical schemes of govern ment, or non-government. Hack of It all. In (iermany, as In Russia, will be that which supports nil forms of autocracy whether that of the dynasty or that of the class, the bayonet. Ultimately all these schemes of claBS and group govern ment will fall, despite the free use of force In terrorism. Probably the dictatorship of some strong military despot, ruling In his own proper person, will come with the next turn of the kaleidoscope. The United States present the one feasible form of free government, the represent ative republic. It Is 'unfortunate that at such a time as this In world history, when institutions elsewhere are fulling and new govermental structures are being erected, Amer ica did not have leadership which believes In this form of government rather than in the European con ception of "democracy." The Ameri can principle of government would have brought unity and federation to Europe. The continuance of the European system of multiplied na tionalities, based upon rax-liU and dynastic hatreds, and of the per petuation of caste and class, will keep Kurope In chaos. which is one very good reason why this country should hesitate to mk the perinnn nency of our form of government In any general scheme for perpetuullng and safeguarding the existing Ku ropoan Bystom.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears yf the Signature of The After Effects of Pneumonia This is No. 2 of a series of advertisements, prepared by g com. petent phynician, explaining how certain diseases which attack the air passages such aa Pneumonia, Influenza, Whooom. Cough, Measles or even a long continued Coldaften leave these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording favorable foothold for invading germs. And bow Vick't Vaoo. Rub may be of value in this condition. I Pneumonia attacks the air cells of the lungs. An inflammation is set up and matter is thrown off which causes the air cells to solidify, thus preventing the natural flow of blood thru the lungs. This "backing up" of the blood causes the heart to pump harder, just as stepping on a hose increases the water pres sure, which is the reason why, during this disease, the physician watches the overburdened heart so carefully. After recovery the lunrjs are filled with a mass of wreckage the debris of the battle which must be gotten rid of by a process known as resolution. Frequently, inflamed spots remain, congestion persists, cough hangs on, and the least exposure brings on a cold that is hard to get rid of. If neglected, such damaged air pas sages may easily develop serious disease of the lungs. , Such cases should always con tinue tinder a physician's care and frequent examinations should be made to see that nature is SOe 60c " UYapoRub More Than 17 Million ALOHA CLVB DAXCE.
