SHOULD RUSSIA BE RECOGNIZED?
FRIEX
tarv
RIEXDS OF SOVIET RUSSIA tire very indignant because Secre-
of State Hughes refuses to recognize tiiv Bolshevik govern
ment.
Why in tiie niuno of common scnsi! should the Soviet government
lie recognized? For less serious offenses, than tiio.se committed
iigniiist the United States, by the present regime in Moscow, not only
have relations been broken off but war has been declared.
The Soviet Government has confiscated the property of American
eil izens and has refused either to apologize or niake effective com
pensation. ,
The Soviet Government has repudiated Russia's obligations to
this country, and made every effort according to the 17. S. Depart
ment of Justice, to put a red flag over the White House.
To recognize h government guilty of such actions, would he equiv
alent to endorsing lawlessness nnd treachery.
,
Mr. Hughes' attitude it seems to us, it not only entirely right, but
extremely generous. He says in effect that IfuKsiu will be recognized
whenever the soviet government gives up its policy of international
piracy and gives evidence of its friendliness and good faith.
What more could Russia or any other civilized country ask? And
in spite of this hostile attitude of Soviet Russia, the United States
has only recently concluded a relief program for that unfortunate
country, Which literally saved millions of Russian lives, and iuvolved
the expenditures of hundreds of millions of American dollars, which
will yield no return other than the satisfaction of unselfish service
in the cause of suffering humanity. . '
Instead of wailing over the "reactionary attitude of Secretary
Hughes," the real friends of Soviet Russia, should be grateful that
relations with this country are no worse, and should set about in an
effort to bring the Soviet leaders back to some basis of common de
cency and self-respect. ,
Russia has a perfect right to any form of government which a ma
jonly ot her people desire. But whatever her form of government,
she has no right to try to destroy the government of a friendly na
lion, she has no right to repudiate the obligations which every civi
lized nation in the world respects.
Until Russia sees the light and changes her present program, the
least this try can do is to withhold tho formal action, which
would sanction her destructive course.

Freedom J ' "
Not taking into cunnUloratlon our
national unthom or that luminous
deolnmllon of Pntrlck Henry, I can
think of nothing so docoptlvo ns tho
trad Ulonal un
do r s t n mil tip of
what freedom
' really n m o u ntn
to. Isn't It tho
truth that free
dom, accord l n b
to tho definition
wo kIvo it, Is
about tho most
undesirable thing
one could wish
for? Tho bach
elor boasts about
h i h f r o o d o in,
. - .B when as a matter
of fabt ".hlfl-freedom Is nothing but
dlsatttwhment and causes him more
unhftpplness--than any other influ
ences in his life. Tho business woman
who boasts that sho. Is self-sufficient
and can manage to enjoy life without
a pestiferous man taking after her.
Imagines that she In possessed of the
last word in freedom and, but of
course, sho Isn't. Hho Is llko the
woman who uses hair dyo, she de
ceives nobody, not evon herself, I nm
inclined to yawn when I hear young
wives ratllo on about their lost free
dom. There aro married, men among
my nciiualutnuces who boro mo to
tears with their absurd gestures of
resignation based upon their sup
posed lack of individual freedom. The
strongest tlo wo have Is our associa
tion with those we lovo and those who
love us. The chains of affection
which hind us to our loved ones arc
the strongest influences of human
character. To be free means to be
selfish, and to bo free means to bo a
disctplo of an empty futile life. Spare
you no pity for the woman who is
bound down to a home and a husband
nnd a house full of youngsters! Hhe
knows what the happiness of posses
sion means. . Waste no tears on the
husband who tolls from morning tilt
night to provide or a family for ho
knows tho quiet happiness which goes
hand In hand with responsibility. Per
sons who do not know possession and
responsibility may bo free but they
nro tcri'lbly lonesome.

"Proper position in sleeping is a

others aro doing
tho same. One member, aged 58, still
covers his head with the bed clothes
(an we all did to hide from the bogey
man). Another draws his knees up
to his chin, with his backbone curled
up like a half moon, and declares his
body is thus concentrated nnd keeps

that in sleeping one should stretch out

The correspondent Is right one

Any posturo one prefers is good for
sleep. There are. various fancies
about lying on the left side or is U
the right side? to favor the heart' of
the circulation, or about lying wnn
the head toward the north in order to
favor some imaginary magnetic cur

low pillow or no pillow at all In order
to increase or diminish -the circulation
In the bi&lii. My advice to all con
cerned is not to He awake ruminating
on these childish notions, but just
curl up or straighten out and go
to sleep;
It Is only in the presence of certain
fllsi-use conditions that n patient may
find it better to sleep on one side or
keep off the back or to have the head
up high or to dispense with the pil

ROBBERY UNDER ARMS.
Ut 'LIYIIAVE your money or your life," tho old time robber
A used to say; lie tlireutenetl you with gnu or knife' but 'twns
not often lie would ' slay. If you were wise nnd dug the niou
from out the (ivpsiro lit your belt, the robber would not use his
t?nn, or mutilate your priceless pelt. I've been held up lit divers
times, by highwaymen, n godless crew; and having pulled their
midnight crimes, they lashed their palfreys and withdrew. Held
up in alley or in court, I'd cuss n season and perspire; it wns n
rather costly sport, but, held no perils deep and dire. Then rob
bers knew that human life by every law was sanctified, and
though they throve on sin and strife, they drew the line nt homi
cide. Hut nowadays the robbers shoot before they ask you for
the dough; for human life they care no-hoot, it is the cheapest
thing they know. You'd gladly tligj at their demand, the bright
rose-nobles from your purse, but they assail you, gnu in hand,
and you go touring inn hearse. Since envo men in their lawless
clime on paths of slaughter used to creep, methinks there's never"
been a time when human life was held so cheap.
