MARCH Id JUSTICE STILL AWAITS It is to be hoped that the citizens of Centralia will de mand the prosecution of the I. w. w. members responsible for the Armistice day massacres on"a new charge based upon the killine of Arthur Mcbl fresh, should another jury fai to render justice there are two more murders which can be charged to the same men, those of Dale Hubbard and Ben Casagranda. . It is inconceivable that four juries of 12 men each can be found who .will so patently violate the juror's oath to render a verdict in accordance with the testimony submitted and the instructions of the court. The verdict at Montesano was a blow at Americanism. It was an aborted finding of a body of men too cowardly to. face an issue squarely. The case was clear cut. It was either murder or self- defense. In one case all should have been acquitted. In the other all should have been convicted. The verdict was a compromise uncalled for and to a sane mind unthinkable. The men of The American Legion throughout the na tion will await with patience, another trial. They will hesi tate to believe that a secoRd body of jurors will reach a con clusion that amounts to so palpable a miscarriage of justice o LAKOR ARMIES According to Lincoln Eyre, a correspondent who recent ly made a hrst-hand study of Kussian conditions for the New York World, the Russian Bolshevist army created bv Trotzky under such disadvantageous conditions is now the most effective military force in the world. Having over come practically all resistance in the field, this army is being turned to a task probably unpeesedented in military history. The fighting men are made soldiers of industry. Already three armies, numbering nearly half a million men, fresh from victorious campaigns, have been ordered into indus trial work They will be obliged to toil, as they fought, under strict military discipline. Any man who refuses will be shot. It Is Trotzky's idea, and the Soviets are said to have given their final approval. ? Eventually the whole army may be utilized in this way, in" factories, on the railroads and if necessary, on farms. It is an instructive exhibition of Socialist discipline, and one which many an American Socialist learns of with misgivings. " There is probably no reason why a Socialist government, or any government for that matter, should not draft citizens for industrial, work just as it drafts them for war provided the majority of citizens acquiesce. Such ac tion seems consistent, at any rate, with the Socialist idea, which makes the State supreme in . all things, taking little ac count of individual preference. But it would be interesting to know how the Russians, naturally so eager for personal liberty, feel about it. It would be still more interesting to learn how it appeals to our own illuminated Bolshevists who have been so zeal- ously preaching Russia s superiority to America in the mat AGAIN- A J AX WINS!

Native Poetry a a) DREAMS AND REALITY (By Guy Kitch Phelps) A sweet-faced dream came walking by, So frail 'twould seem a .passing sigh Might waft her from the rose-grown way In which she walked, but old and gray There trudged another at her side: The gargoyle called the dream his bride. And if she laughed or if she wept. Or if she smiled or if she slept; Or woke fro niout her heavenly lyre A liquid, melting, maddening fire. Or spun a rainbow cloth of gold Which clothed the Grecian ba-ds of old. The griztled. Monster mocked and ' jeered At every beautious thing she reared, And every shape of beauty bright He mared and broke with main and might. And spread her golden gul with blight 'Wouldat know how such a pair could mate Jie utmost power-value . ' Pure throughout, dependable always, Red Crown gasoline gives the utmost power-val-- ue.
