SHOULD BE DEPORTED Socialist orators, in New York, especially one Frank A. Sieverman at a mass meeting Sunday made the boast that Tom Mooney would never be hanged and gave as the reason that the fear of Socialism and revolution would prevent it. Sieverman said "We ask no aid from organ ized labor, from Samuel Gompers down. We ask no publicity from the capitalist press. We ask no favors from the Wilson's nor the judges of the courts, nor the r, M- Ml T nrosecuting attorneys. But Tom mooney win never ue hanged. Their powers are paralyzed wnen socialism makes a threat, and socialism and revolution are behind 'Mooney."

He is a veteran of the Russo-Japanese war and was head of the Russian naval commission that visited the United States last year. The real head of the new government is Prince Lvoff, ex-president of the Council of Ministers of revolutionary Russia. The seat of the new government is Pekin, and it is claimed it is only awaiting assistance from Japan which is promised, to enter Siberian territory along with them. General Semenoff is in command of the armies of the new govern ment and he will be aided by Admiral Kolchak, who is raising an army in Siberia. The bolsheviki do not seem to have any great strength in Siberia although according to latest reports they are organizing an army of the reds at Vladivostok. I his is largely rumor for Vladivostok is a small place and the country tributary to it is sparsely settled. I he material is not there to raise any consider able army from, none at least that could even attempt to offer resistance to the Japs should they conclude to land forces at that point. Apparently the situation now badly tangled as to Japan s intervening will be settled more satisfactorily if the new government is formed and Japan is "asked" to help it. The great objection to landing troops at Vladivostok was the appearance it had of at tacking Russia. With the new government in power this will be overcome. The bolsheviki have insisted that each peoples should be granted the right to select their own form of government, and while they have gone back on And He If) QOINq-TO TArfE Mr HORSE" OUT ANH CjET HIM U5EH TO THE Soonn or cannon lnnrl mrn fhpd anarchists what attention the American people pay to their .threats. However the officials of New York and of the United States will be neglecting their duty if these mouthy and traitorous foreigners are nnt: at. nnrp n rrested and dealt with as their offense de serves. It may be the effete east will stand for that kind of treason, but if so that section has something to learn from the west. Evidently our form of government has an element of weakness in that it does not provide for depriving of liberty those foreigners who are reaching our shores and coming from the most tyranical of governments, take advantage of the right of free speech to damn the gov ernment which permits them to indulge in it for the first time in their, lives. They take it that liberty means the right to do as they please, and to interfere as they please with the liberties of others. Understanding what liberty means we of America can get along nicely with our laws, but they are too liberal, too broad for use by the escaped serfs who under their native government dared not open their mouths. We need some side provisions to our laws that will apply to these wild-eyed anarchists until they become tamed and learn what freedom and liberty mean. One of those side laws would prevent the landing on our soil of such, and when through oversight they were landed then some provision for deporting them and returning .

Not only should these steps be taken but the indications are thev will be. When the war is over and a couple of million of the boys who risked their lives f orj the betterment of the world nave returned nome tney win fee in just the right frame of mind for taking care of the Sievermans and that class. Undoubtedly we will learn pome things from our nibbing u -'-.gainst other nations and peoples and it may be that the ways even of the Mexican may be found fitting in some cases and for some crimes. In the meanwhile just to give proper warning congress should at this session provide for the deporta tion of all foreigners who are inimical to this country and ob ject to its laws, and this as soon as the war is over and it can te done, uei me ieuow wno is me enemy in uus country now, know that he will be removed from it just as quickly as possible and that he will not be allowed to return. Frank Sieverman should be interned now and fired back to the place from which he came, just as soon as it can be done. And those who believe and act as he does, who threaten revolution and defy the government Fhculd be interned with him and made to work for their board until such time as they can be got rid of forever. Denmark is said to be suffering from food shortage. It is the same with the other alleged neutral nations that surround and protect Germany. Denmark and these other countries would not have done half as much harm to the allies as open enemies as they have under their alleged neutrality. They have hemmed in and protected Germany borders from attack and at the same time have used foodstuffs furnished them by the United States to supply Germany. It is tough on them to cut off their food supplies, but so long as they divide with our enemy it is proper to do it. find no fault with the Siberians setting up a government of their own, or at most if they do find rault with it they cannot help themselves. m 1 1 1 i . 1 4 M . a 1 rying to separate and distinguisn the tactions in Russia and to classify them is about as difficult a job as trying to analyze and separate a dish of boarding house hash into its component parts. The Bolsheviki are on the one hand through Lenine playing into the hands of the Germans, and at the same time fighting their brothers in Ukraine, and in Siberia the Red Guards are fighting the Bolsheviki in some places and in others fighting with them. They at the same time threaten the new govern ment in Siberia, which wants the Japs and allies to help them, and declare the allies are in the same boat with the Germans both being "capitalistic" and determined on the destruction of Russia. It surely is some tangle and what a Spaniard calls an "olla podrida," The latest story is that Siberia may be set up in busi ness as a republic. Events move rapidly these days and this is surely- one of the fastest of them. It is a long way from a penal colony to a republic doing business on its own account, but that is the road Siberia will have traveled if the making of it a republic, as is proposed, materializes. Austria declared she would not assist Germany in at tacking Russia but when the kaiser snapped his fingers she had to come through. The Emperor Carl is such only in name and when the war is over he will not be even that unless the allies whip Germany to a standstill. Texas legislature has refused to stop the teaching of German in the public schools. Probably realizes that it dees no harm as the children never learn it anyway. The German drive in the Balkans, if it materializes, will be certain to force Greece into the war on the side of the allies for self protection.

"This is a freo country and every man in it has the right of l'ree speech!" he cried. "No arbitrary pow er has the right to interfere with, the froo expression of a man's personal opinion, and my personal opinion is that President Wilson hasn't,got sense enough to come in out 01 the rain, that the American people are a' set of ig norant blockheads, and there s not a sane Englishman in all England, be cause no sane man would bo an Eng lishman. That's my opinion, aud this is a tree country and 1 ve got a right to express it, and everv other man 's got an equal right to express opinion; 1 don t tare what it is or who suiters in corisoquenefi. " Kudolph Fenny reached out and shook his hand. "I'm glad to hear you say that," he said heartily . '.'Every man should bo entitled to the free expression of his own opinion, that's right. Now mv own opinion of a man that has senti ments like yours in a time like th present is that he is a rank ingrate, j a misera-iilo excuse lor a citizen, a ve!- low patriot and a pro-German. Of course, that s just one man s opinion, but as you sav, 1 have a perfect right" iiuluon iiohver took him by the scruff of the neck and hurled him against the nearest wall. Then he lift ed him by the seat of the trowsers and hurled him against the furthest wall. Then he jjumpod on him eight times, called him out of his name, and walk ed off. 'Huh!" murmured Kudolph Penny weakly, but disdainfully. "I called his bluff, all right! " AN UNEXPECTED PLEASURE CHAPTER XXIII "Thank you, I shall expect you, then," Evelyn said after she had lis tened a moment. My heart gave a little leap of joy. I had not been mis-, taken in the thought that he would "He's coming!" EveJyn exclaimed. ' 'Just think we are to have a real roar ing lion at our party. Why Helen, half the women in town would give any thing to have him for a dinner, ana he's coming to miue. But I believe he's coming because of you, altho he did not say so." "Nonsense! he's young, perhaps he feels ho would like to be with tho young set occasionally. This is such a queer plat'e. Out home the young folks Jail went together, thut is from about 18 to 2d, then the next set, then the older ones But here everything is so mixed up. 1 suppose it's family affil iatiens and all that. But it isu 't half so much fun to go out as when things aren't so mixed." "I know it, JJelen, but don't expect me to talk of anything save that Mer ton Gray i.s to dine with, us. Kurts !will be so pleased, lie likes him im mensely." I niade no reply, but I thought, "who couJd help liking him?" Aa Occupied Mind It was tho day of my lesson in eti quette. iut I scarcely heard what Mrs. Sexton said, so tilled was my mind with thoughts of tho party, aud Mer tou Gray, i was so glad he was coming. I felt more as tho I knew him than anyone else iu town, except Evolyu. Ho had been so awfully nice at the Luring dinner, it was thru him 1 had met Evelyn aud Kurts, aud he had not seemed to think I needed polishing, as had all the others. "1 have spoken to you twice," Mrs. Sexton said in an aggrieved tone. "Please pay attention. My coming will serve no purpose unless you do." I replied -meekly, begying her pardon then she launched forth about people not paying attention, about being n good listener, and a lot of stuff that oored me almost to death nhou I want ed to go on thinking pleasant thoughts Sue must have told George I was in attentive, for tho next day he also gave me a curtain lecture about paying I absolute attention to every word suo isaid to me. When he got thru I hated (her worse than ever. And that wasn't I at all necesary. I 1 hadn 't written home no word about (her, or mi. lessons. I knew that moth er, bless her heart, wouldn't under- dignant. Neither had I ever said a word about George 's coldness. But in stead of looking forward to the time when either father and mother or tho boys would visit me I thought with dread of the task it would be to keep from them the way things were with me. I think that the hardest of all as this time was the thought which wag constantly with me that George w ashamed of mc. I had not yet lost faith in his love, neither had 1 ceased to love hiin. But I shrank from his criticisms, aud those of his friends; and at times grew a bit morbid over it. Then, again, I would grit my teeth and say to my self: "I'll show them! Some day he'll be awfully proud of me! And the others will run after me- I'll show that stuck; up buuch!" Then I would smilo at the thought of what George would say if he could hear me. Ho would think me past redemption. Helping Evelyn The dav before the party I spent with Evelyn. George never came home to luncheon, yet I asiied luiu oerore he went if there was any chance that he might. He asked me why, and I toi him I would go over there, if he wasn't coming. 1 had leally asked the iqucstion so that I might have a chance to tell him. He might telephone ana oe angry because Iwas out. lou re a married woman, surely you should know whether you are do ing what is right and proper without my telling you," he said. "Certainly go, it you want to. 1 suppose you a gigle aud laugh and have what you call a good time," he sneered. 1 couidn t speaK, so 1 auin i try. 1 knew he would not have liked it, had I not spoken of the fact that 1 was going; "yet ho had sneered at me be cause 1 did- and a'.so oeeause 1 was going to enjoy myself. Oh, it was hard to please him. Yet when he came to go and I followed him out into the hall, he kissed ine good bye quite nice ly, and said: Be at home to dinner. 1 don t Use to dine alone." That was all, but it made me quite happy again. It really takes very lit tle to please us when we are young. So little, it seems a pity wo cannot stay young a little longer; and have that httlo that it takes to make us happy.

Now up he comes, a-bobbin', the cheerful early robin, I saw him cn the lawn; his song grows sweeter, clearer, "The spring is drawing nearer, and winter's almost gone !"

THE HIGHWAY COMMI33ION To the Kditor: The cemmissioner to be named by the governor to succeed Mr. E. J. Adams, whose term will ex pire on March 1st is a matter of deep interest. I have no considerable acquaintance with Mr. Adams; or of his life and his torv and only know him iu connection with the State Highway Commission aud rout ot the campaign tor approval of the $6,000,000 bond bill. Mr. Adams bond bill campaign over the state established him as a man of breath and scope and ability and as an astute debator, logical, forceful, digni fied and convincing; a man of decision, of conviction aud character. Mr. Adams' 12 months experience on the Highway Commission iu preparation of and active road building and imlocating and estab lishing highways over the state gives cause for suspicion. line across .the state and an outrage; upon the general public but the bill was Essed, favored aud supported by (act-; ing) Representative Ilawiey and with-; out objection or protest, making it man-; datory upon the Highway Commission j and they were left no discretion aud ; whi n locating this part of the highway j Messrs.

An effort has been made to discredit Mr. Adams for his action in this matter; only a statement of the facts makes complete his defense Under all the circumstances there can rightly be no valid objection to reten tion of Mr. Adams oher than that he is corrupt and yields to bribe influ ence of which there is absolutely .no Don t swap horses projected highways; and of overcoming the physical conditions iu highway building.
