NOR FISH, NOR FLESH, NOR FOWL It Is repotted that the former Czar Ik to be tried on the charge of trea son on the order of Leon Trotrky, i who six months ago was eking out a j miserable existence on the Ka3t Side, " 1 New York, writing for the Socialist jpiep of that city. Could a novelist jjever eonjure up anything more fan " i tastic than that? The Brooklyn Eagle describes the Underwood law as "a tariff for revenue with incidental protection." This reminds m of the French schoolboy's essay on "The Lobster." Ho wrote: "The lob ster is a bright red fish." The professor who read the essay wrote J hi comment upon its margin., "The lobster is not red and it is not a fish. Aside from this the statements are eorreet." That is the situation with reference to the Underwood law and the Brooklyn Eagle 'a description of it. The law does not produce revenue and it contains no protection. . ' .. THE' UNITED STATES IS ABSOLUTELY UNSELFISH SO MOTK IT UK. VWith regard to the question whether the war and the partici pation of the United States in it has served to strengthen the com mon bond between the democracies of the western hemisphere, Twill say I think it has. I think that thoughtful men ! in all the democ racies of -that hemisphere are beginning to see the real purpose and character of the United States. 1 . ' "She 'is offering in every proposal that she makes to give the most saered pledges on her own part that SHE WILLIX.NO CASE HE THE AGGRESSOR AGAINST EITHER THE POLITICAL IN DEPENDENCE OR THE TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY OF ANY OTHER STATE OR NATION, at the same time that she is propos ing and insisting upon similar pledges from ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD who have its peace at heart and are willing to associate themselves for the maintenance of that peace. . "The very strength of her appeal in this direction Qomes from the fact that she is willing to bind herself and give pledges of the utmost solemnity for her own good faith and disinterestedness." The poet says: "The River Rhine, it la well known. Washes the City of Cologne; Hut tell nie.oh, ye gods divine. What power shall wa?b the River Rhine?" An exchange "regrets that tha Rhine has inundated Cologne, de stroying: great quantities of stored provisions. Still if the Lord feels it to be his duty to send floods to destroy a city, it Is far better that he should select a German rather than a. French or an Italian victim.

The words might cyen be eonstnied as favoring absolutely the status quo; for the territorial integrity of the European nations could fccarcely;mean their territorial integrity at some- former time, before the opening of the war.

He adds that their reputa tion for good behavior is high among th French people. : v"j , - i -4--' ' f' ' ' So far. as the Azores are concern ed,' the explanation'' of the German blockade given by the' Berlin Lokal Anzeiger Is reasonable enough, but it is not ' so apparent that the Cape Verde Islands or the African coast would ba useful as assembling points for American troop transports.

Yearning, boys, for you." A recent event of the winter sea son which claimed large interest was the evening of music held in the auditorium of the public library with' Miss Flora M. Case presiding.

Every day's mail brings to Treasurer S. B. Elliott in dividual contributions attesting- the widespread interest awakened by the comprehensive advertising of the lo cal committee. Two great factors In active evi dence have contribrd strikingly to the success of the campaign. They are a real message and getting the message to the people. Direct returns from fhe advertis ing alone have repaid the advertis ing exnense many times Over: Although the local campaign was not planned beyond the boundaries of Marlon county, contributions have come from points as far re moved as Lincoln county as a result of newspaper appeals. Essay Relone Spirited. The, response to the essay-writing contest was wonderful and the way the appeal was carried to Marlon county homes by the school children is vindicated most effectively by the resoonse from these homes to the ap peal. The appeal to the school boards of districts adjacent to Salem for as sistance in carrying the message to the peonele of these districts was re sponded to bv practically 100 per cent and reports of their efforts tell of most gratifying results. The work of aditidging the efforts of the school children in the essay contest is nearly complete and the decisions will be announced within 11 X . . ine next lew uay. j CamnMiint Continues.
