Tt has already brought a change in (lie objects and aims of the war which has vitalized the cause of democracy and made the conflict a real struggle for liberty and not for the privileges of exercising tyranny over other nations. Previous to tho .Russian revolution and the entrance of the United States ns a belligerent, the Russian aim in the conflict was imperialism, which to a modified extent was Britain's aim. As long as the purposes of the entente allies Wits thus tainted with ocratic only in contrast with ination ot Joreigners and expansion thru force of doing to the world what Prussia had done to Germany. That Germany still adheres to its world imperialism, was shown by the recent speech of Chancellor Von l.eth-niann-ilollweg in the reichstag, in which he declared that he could not at this time outline German aims in .the war because a peace without annexations of conquered terri tory and without indemnities from conquered peoples was impossible: The announcement ought to dispel once for all the dreams of the Russian democrats and the peace advocates in the United States that there can be any peace for the world under German peace terms which would procure an interval of quiet to prepare for future wars to carry out the German feudal proiaganda of Prussianizing the earth. The democracy of Russia, promises to give the world a new vision of democracy a broader, clearer vision of (he rights of man tlnn even the American and French revolu tions gave, in that it sounds the doom of land lordism, the primary cause of inequality of opportunity, the source of oppression and "tyranny and the bulwark of autocracy. Jf we examine the conditions of oppressed nations, we find land-lordism the chief source of human misery and creator of discord and stifler of progress. Sinn-Finnisin in Ireland is but the expressed discontent of the Irish against the iniquitous system of English absentee land lordism, whereby the people are kept in poverty to enrich foreign owners. . . Poland offers another example of the evil workings of the land-lord system, with most of the property owned by the oppressive gentry of Ukarania. Ancient Poland as wrecked by their folly. Landlordism is also the curse of Austria-Hungary, where the many nationalities are sim ply peasant tenantry of German and Magyar landlords, the most merciless in existence. To an extent, the same conditions exist in the Balkans, particularly in Rumania, where a few own all the land. The Mcxicon revolution was due to the same cause as was South America's revolt from Spain. It was the depri vation of the people front the land that has created most of the revolution that have toppled over tho thrones. The new vision is dawning not only in Great Britain but all over the world. liven the United States, where for half a century there has been a tendency toward concen tration, and landlordism has made tremendous strides, and its evil effects are already apparent, is going tirf feel the effects of the new Russian democracy and benefit thereby, with a newer and larger vision for equality of op portunity among nations and individuals.

Before noon we came to this place, i ranch, stopped for water. The lady is from the south. We came In and talked to her. There were two cars hero broken down. Then gaily wo started forth, went eight miles, broke a connecting rod. ' We sat out on the mesa waiting for a car. Finally an Overland came along, towed us three miles and left us. We had to come back. Knowing all the time we were burning out a bearing, we came back to the ranch, and mighty glad to be here. .We think we sliall have to send to El Paso for tho part, so we shall be hero awhile. When my husband got up from looking under tho car, a tarantula was walking up bis collar. 1 scream ed at htm to brush It off, as ho did not We must sell lity Any Make of Tire Once" fU fillftf' but this town is not big enough in which to do business PI flJWvVV on the ONE SALE ONLY basis. 1 1 On this principle our business has grown because we sell a tire that cuts down upkeep to a fair and reasonable figure. People ask how far will this tire run? We tell them we rarely see a Diamond that won't go five thousand miles. Yet Diamonds are . PRICED on a basis of only three thousand five hundred miles. There is no "velvet" in the price, but plenty of "velvet" in Diamond mileage. We carry a complete line of sizes in stock and can fill your tire wants immediately. If you can't come, telephone. Every Diamond Tire must deliver full value in service. If ever a Diamond Tire fails, a cheerful, willing adjustment will be promptly made. Gar nett-Carey Hardware Co. DENNEY & GO.
