When it Is recalled that insurance . that George B. Lewis, who was ar-

the period of war and epidemic, it
would behoove legislators to be mo

BOLSHEVISM TRANSFORMED ,
Recent reports from Russia indi
cate, a surprising transformation on
the part., of the Bolshevist govern
ment. The leaders are no doubt, at
heart, the same brutal, bloody, in
tolerant gang 'they ' were from the
first. But while continuing to talk
their violent jargon, breathing fire!
and flame against the "capitalistic"
powers, they have changed their
methods surprisingly. Their radical'
language seems to be kept merely to
hold their ignorant followers in line.
In practice, they have departed from
Bolshevist principles and turned
their government Into a sort of middle-of-the-road
socialist state.
Thus they have given up two main
purposes of the original movement.'
They nave stopped trying to turn
the land over to the peasants and
the factories over to the workmen
to own and run as they please. The
"bourgeois" class, formerly robbed
and hunted to death, has been wel
comed back to influence and power.
Finding that . ignorant ' employes
could not operate the factories, rail
roads, banks, etc., the government
has invited their former managers
to manage them' again. To keep up
the Bolshevist fiction, these capital
istic citizens are called . "people's
commissaries." But they are really
running things, riding to the office
in their automobiles again, and
treated with respect.
The army has been enlarged and
subjected to real discipline. Many
of the old officers are back In au
thority, and the privates salute
them. That army is said to be a
power to reckon with.
These facts, as vet too little
known in the United States, explain
a good deal in the attitude of the
peace conference that would other
wise be puzzling. The allies do not
want to have anything to do with
the Bolshevlki, whether in their
original state of wickedness or trans
formed into a semi-respectable so
cialist republic. But they are sorely
tempted to make the best of a bad
business, in order to escape the bur
den of forcible intervention.
Thousands of undesirable , aliens
are to be deported within the next,
few months. Some of them have
beep acquired recently, others have
been kept In storage waiting for
transportation facilities. We don't
know where they're going but.
they're on their way.
BOOTLEGGER CAUGHT AT
ROSEBUW3 IS SENTENCED
TARGET PRACTICE ON BIG
COMPANIES
In western states Insurance com
panies pay millions of dollars a year
taxes, direct and indirect.
For instance,' in 1918 the Fire
man's Fund Insurance Co. in Cali
fornia paid state and federal taxes
of over $1,000,000.
: Totals of state and federal taxes
paid by Insurance companies In all
the states for 1918 would be Inter
estlng.
In one western state a single
' member of the legislature introduced
26 bills to regulate Insurance com
panies. ;.. t .
Investigation shows his name, is
' not even on ' the taxrolls and the
same ration of 'activity 'by politics
against business probably holds
true.
Deputy Sheriff Raffety this morn
ing received word from Portland
rested here last fall, had been con
vtcted In the federal court and was
sentenced to serve 10 months in jail
and pay a fine of $1,200. Mr. Lewis
and wife had made five trips to Cal
ifornia In their automobile, bringing
back a dozen cases ot liquor on each
occasion. They were arrested here
on their, last, trip and were turned
over to the federal authorities for
prosecution. Mrs. Lewis was not
sentenced. Roseburg News

.Daily Health Talks,
A WORD ABOUT THS KIDNEYS
BY DOCTOR WATSON.
People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may be; but few people understand
the dangers of diseased kidneys. These
organs have a duty of vital importance
to perform, and if they are diseased,
there is no tolling how or where the
symptoms may appear. The kidneys
are filters, aud when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify it. when the kidueys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of Uieso poisons is urio
acid. The urio acid is carried all
through the system and drpositod in
various places, in the form of urate
salts in the (eet, ankles, wrists and
back often forming bngs under ilia
yes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's
Sisease.
Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., Inj-ecent
years,. discovered inat a certain com
bination of remedies would dissolve urio
acid (urate salts) in the system. He
found this combination to be harmless,
to that he made it op in' tablets,
of double strength, and called them
Anurio Tablets, The? dissolve urio
acid in the human system as hot coltee
dissolves sugar. It yon have uric acid
troubles, don't delay in taking Anuria
Tablet, which can be secured in the
drug stores. Yon can write Dr. Tierce,
too, and De win ten you wnai to eat
and how to live so that more urio acid
will not form In your system. Dr. Itercs
will not charge for this advise.

la Some Town Over There is Baby
Who Can Live If You
Say the Word
By Bruce Baktoh.
I sometimes picture it to myself this way. ,
Suppose that somewhere down town in New
York, or in Chicago or St Louis, there were a
huge auction room, where the lives of men and
of little children were on sale. ......
Suppose that every day the auctioner's red
flag hung out as a sign, that on that day so many
men were to be allowed to die; so many women;
and so marly little ones:
Allowed to die, just for the lack of a few dol
lars. 'Just for the want of the little sum that
would ransom them.
Suppose that were the case, I say to myself;
could I possibly stay away? Is there any argu
ment I could give to myself that would keep me
from going there day after day, and buying with
all my power? Buying men and women and
children, at that auctioneer's block, with the dol
lars that would mean life to them?
It's not a very pretty picture; yet' compared
to the pictures that . I have seen from stricken
Armenia and Syria, and all the empires of the
Near East, it is almost beautiful.
For men and women and children are dying
over there dying for the lack of sums that seem
pitifully, miserably small.
I am not rich, and I have all the little worries
that are common to us middle class folks. Wor
ries about next year's income ta$; and about 1
the future of business, and where my income
will go to if such and such things take place.
But I have a worse worry than that. The
worry for what my conscience will say to me,
if in this hour of the world's tribulation I do not
do my share. . ,
The worry lest in my ears for the rest of my
life there should be th cry of a man, or a woman,
or a little child whose life I might have saved.
For they are crying over there today, stretch-
ing out their weak, tired arms. And it's a mar
vellous thought to me, that modest as my income
is, it's big enough to let me save the life of one
of them big enough to give me a man, or a
woman, of a child who will never cease to be
thankful that I did my part. ,. ' ;
They are waiting for our- answer over there : ,
. yours and mine : A poor stricken man broken by
, the war ; and a woman,' weak from her. struggle .
and terror; and a baby who can live and grow up
into useful manhood or' womanhood, if only you
say the word. ,
