NEW' VISION
rT"s I K If USSLAN revolution
event ot the war in its ml luenee upon miniaiiity, with
as far reaching effects upon the world as the American
and French revolutions. 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.

Mrs. Venlta Steffcn, nee Hamilton,
who is touring northern .Mexico In an
automobile, writes tho following cu
tortalning account of her adventures
on the desert to her parents, .Mr. and
.Mrs. 1. h. Hamilton:
"Here 1 am in tho wilds of .Mexico,
stranded with a broken car, 87 miles
from a railroad. Yesterday morning
at C a. ni. we started from Mngdalena
to drive 137 miles. 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

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.

"On my way once more. Had lo

"I had a most wonderful tlnio out

an American from ambush, and they
have threatened to kill Mr. Arm

There Is a most intense hatred and

Actually, you can't realize the condi

if they are driving ahead of us, they
keep in the center of the road, and If
the roads are narrow, wo go behind
them for miles.
Visits Untying Ground.
"Well, out at tho ranch are many
mounds, or graves of Indians. Peo
ple from tho Smithsonian Institution

say the pottery that has been dug up
is from three to five thousand years
old. Wo excavated many graves and

"While out exploring wo found a
Gila monster, resting in the Bhndo.
The boys chased him out into the sun,
so as to take his picture. Howovor
they had a shovel handy, If he should
playfully try to bite them. One day a
tarantula, the next a Gila monster.
"We came thru the famous petri

specimens; tried to carry away the
whole forest.
