GRANTS PASS DAILY OOVR1ER Tlll'KHOAY, AI'HIfjJti, 1010. Tl (Communicated) Standing at the other end of the kighway of Ufa la the Grim Beaper x with bis every feusy sickle, and aa we one toy one approach the gsto he fathers us to the granary of the great unknown. For some the road to short and the harvest appears to have been' or dered before the crop has ripened, while yet for others the path leads on and the gathering eeems to be de layed. Mayhap that we, the living, might view the sturdy talk and well tilled grain and better tend and cultivate our own particular field by the standard thus left before us. It this over he the case then none of better worth could have (been chosen than Uncle, Jim and Uncle Billy. Their duties, their labors and their smiles In the App legate valley have ceased. Their open faces and their glad "good mornings" are seen and heard no more among their countless friends, and yet the lengthening years will be long tn erasing from this community the example of man hood. Integrity and Justice ever preached and practiced toy these two soldiers of truth and right. They camped and tramped the hos tile Indian prairies when Omaha, St. Joseph and Denver were only vil lages, and from the experiences indi dent to such careers they builded characters unassailed and unques tioned. Both had gambled their young manhood on the altar of their coun try and tooth trad chosen tor their home the ever-green hills and sunny valleys of Southern Oregon long be fore there was either a Grants Pass or a Medford. They were settlers In the time of the clanging freight teams to Crescent City and the stage coach to Marysville. Their younger eyes saw the uncountable buffalo of the Dakota and the unconquerable pony express riders of the untamed plains. They had tasted the waters of the pioneers' success and knew the tang of the adverse winds of failure. This place to them seemed home and their 'every effort had been to make it seem the same for others. Both were living on borrowed time and the interest having become due, they have gone, to settle the account with the bookkeeper who never errs, and the banker who jeal ously guards our every saving. If, aa we oft-times read, "An hon est man is the noblest work of God," then the life and memory of Uncle Jim Gilmore and Uncle Billy Han num are beacon lights to all who knew them, pointing always on and up, teaching us that the values of this world are found only in the practice of those virtues which bring the smiles of children and the love of neighbors. May we hope and live that the end of the "long, long trail" will find us aa it found them, with a number- lees host of sorrowing friends and cherished memories, the fruits of a life of service, kindness and charity built as was theirs on the impreg nable foundation of the Golden Rule. ON RUSSIA'S FUTURE Omsk. Siberia, Mar. 5. (Corre spondence of the Associated Press.) Admiral Kolchak. head of the AU-Rusaian government, speaking recently In Ekaterinburg before a conference of members of the Duma, lomstvo and other organisations, re iterated his belief In democracy for Russia, declaring it to he "the only admissible form of future govern ment." Bolshevism, he said, is destroying the very foundation of authority tn the country and means a desperate struggle tor a long time. ' At present, he 'pointed out, condi tions sometimes force the govern ment to employ means which do not correspond with principles of de mocracy, but he assured his hearers that such measures were temporary and that steps were heing taken to insure universal suffrage, labor and land legislation and to develop or gans of aelt government. "The government endeavors to maintain and strengthen friendly re lations with the allies," said the dic tator. "Russia was alarmed by the Invitation to send her delegates to Princes Islands to negotiate with bol shevik!. Now this question is set tled. The statesment of western Europe now see the truth and blame the bolshevikl, calling them murder ers and terrorists, as did Lloyd George. "The government is inspired with the ideal of restoring the mother land. It is not called upon to settle all fundamental questions. The Rus sian people are master of its fate. Released from the yoke of toolshe viem H will, through its representa tives in a national assembly, express its will In regard to its form of gov ernment and its social structure. Then the present government will transfer its power to such an author- tied government.

Others are the New Korean society and the light re storing society. Sixty thousand stu dents of nearly all educational instl tutions, including government schools, participated in the move ment It is stated that the insur rection was supported also by Chris tian end Buddhist bodies. - The Buddhists in Korea number about one million. They have 2,000 temples and 100,000 priests. The Japanese have attempted to use Bud dhism to strengthen their position in Korea, 'sending many young priests to Japan to be educated. Neverthe less, many Buddhists are believed to have been closely connected with the insurrection. Christianity has made rapid pro gress in Korea for 30 years. Two large missionary bodies are working there. The American Methodist mis sion has 750 churches and 100,000 followers, while the American Pres byterian mission has 2,000 churches and about 200,000 adherents. The Korean Christians are mostly men of character and have received high er education. The demonstration in favor of in dependence -which began in nearly all towns and. Villages throughout Korea on March 1, were at first or derly and limited to the delivery of speeches and distribution of copies or manifestos. Later the movement took a distinctly revolutionary char acter and this resulted in clashes with the Japanese authorities and In casualties on both sides. RKGULAR HABITS Would Yon Economize? , .
