"Most of us want the law enforced
on the other fellow.”
THAT RUSSIAN TRADE
Great Britain having established
trade relations with Russia—really
with the Lenin and Trotzky regime—
a noticeable itching to get into the
game is perceptible in trade circles
all over the world. Apprehension
lest Great Britain is gaining some ad
vantage affects competitors like the
fragrance of the appetizing viands to
(hose unbidden to the feast.
Really, there have been no unbid
den ones to the imaginary feast
spread by the bolshevists; every na
tion has been invited in the same
breath it has been denounced’ and
while propaganda was being put forth
to destroy it. And nowhere in all the
record of bolshevism is it written
that a promise is made to be kept or
the right of another government or
individual to be respected.
This so-called treaty between Eng
land and Russia provides for trade
agents stationed in the respective
countries and through these agents
trade is to be conducted; Great Brit
ain promises to withhold support
from factions trying to defeat bolshe
vism and bolshevism promises to ab
stain from propaganda, India and
Egypt undoubtedly being in mind.
England, in view of the fact that
whatever money bolshevism has in its
grasp must of necessity have been
stolen, has a proviso that if a third
party attaches this money the trade
agreement is void. The British gov
ernment, being the largest creditor
Russia has in that country, will have
»i claim on any property seized by
another creditor. In this aspect of
the matter it is interesting to learn
that the seizure in Italy of the bag
gage of Russian commercial dele
gates revealed therein a lot of jewels
believed to have belonged to the cza
rina who was murdered. The bol
shevists evidently are attempting .to
get their loot out without sending it
by way of England.
British labor all along has urged
trade relations with the bolshevists.
apparently having no more compunc
tions, than have the statesmen, to
taking the hand that is bloody and
tho gold that was stolen. France,
realizing that if the bolshevists win
she will lose her Russian bonds, is
jestrained by a more powerful in
fluence than mere compunction.
There are those in this country
uho urge opening up trade relations
with tlie Russian leaders, who have
spent treasures of the gold they have
stolen in endeavoring to overthrow
our government and whose solemn
oath would not be trusted by the
raggedest newsboy on the street.
They have a feature in their urging
that is worthy of consideration, the
argument that such procedure will
tend to create new wealth, so serious
ly needed.
But will it'.’ Here is the question
of the yankee from Missouri and
asked by that cosmopolized quaker,
Hoover; “What is Russia producing
to trade?" He is an unusually well
informed man respecting foreign con
ditions and he is convinced the soviet
management in Russia has nothing
except the money and valuables they
have stolen, estimated at from sixty
to two hundred million dollars, that
when that is gone trade will be gone
for no one is producing grain or flax,
or digging platinum to exhance for
goods, and trains are not being run
to transport the goods if they were
produced. While it is evident that
Lenin is trying to adjust his regime
to the demands of the situation there
is no evidence that such a volte-face
can bo successful.
The average price of steers in the
Chicago market fell this month from
19.96 to $9.70 a hundred, while the
dressed steer in three eastern markets
was raised In price from $16.47 to
$17.63. And while we are asking
why, it will probably go up another
notch at one end and down a notch at
the other.
CoIonelA. E. Anderson who partici
pated in the hyphenated whoop-to-do
in New York has been in consequence
expelled from the American Legion_
a good job.
With both Poland and Germany
celebrating the results of that plebis
cite in upper Silesia disappointment
is being whetted.
The report that Lenin and Trotzky
are at odds may have been fathered
by a wish.
LaFbllette announces that he is go
ing to inspect Ireland. Strange' how
attractive trouble is to that man!
MORE ABOUT MEXICO
Predictions of the early downfall
of the Obregon regime are beginning
to multiply, whether because of act
ual conditions, propaganda or, both,
remains to be seen. One of these
worthy of notice is made by an ex
perienced newspaperman with six
teen years’ experience in Mexico.
Harpers publish his latest book, "The
People of Mexico," In a recent in
terview the author, Wallace Thomp
son, warns us not to apply our own
standards to Mexico. The people are
different and react differently.
“Just as certain diseases do toot
affect him as they do us, so certain
social conditions produce reactions
entirely opposed to those which, bas
ing our ideas on our own experiences,
we should expect. The rulers of
Mexico are now the ‘meztizos,’ or
half-bree'ds. The classes in control
know nothing of history, either their
own or that of other countries. They
have virtually no culture, no back
ground. In the biggest towns outside
of Mexico City itself there are not
enough privately owned books to
make a decent library for any book
ishly inclined man. Because of this
ignorance of the past they have nev
er sought their own solutions to their
internal problems. How could they
with nothing to guide them?”
In Mexico as well as in Cuba the
question resolves itself, assording to
Mr. Thompson, into the supremacy
of the white race.
"The country is now mixed-blood
Indian, ^ut she must become white—
at least in government—by one or
three eventualities, for her position
in the economic life of the world will
; not let her degenerate utterly. One
| of these eventualities is intervention,
I which would be costly and bloody, not
! worth the price. Another is the con
| tinuation of the chaos which she has
I known for so many years and to
| which there will be no end until the
^.whites alone emerge. The third and
: most practical is a revolution which
\ would carry into power some faction
1 that would call white brains, native
: and foreign, to Mexico's aid.”
LESS MEAT EATEN
Ton years ago the per capita con
sumption of beef in this country was
j 78 pounds, but in 1920 it was not
' quite 56 1-2 pounds. Does that mean
| we are r.ot living as well or are Iiv
I ing better? The difference may be
i
due in considerable degree to better
i management in disposing of what
I formerly was waste.
While the government reports show
j a falling off in the consumption of
j beef an increase for the past six years
! is shown in veal, very likely partly
' due to price. With regard to the
| consumption of mutton and lamb it
j appears that last year the frozen
I product of New Zealand was brought
: here to the extent of over a hundred
j million pounds, nearly a fifth as much
! as that produced in this country.
! Pork production in 1920 fell below
; that of the previous year. All in all
| the American is eating less meat than
[ he did ten years ago, but he has not
| yet reached the point indicating lack
| of nourishment.

HOW WOMEN
OF MIDOLE AGE
May Escape the Dreaded Suffer*
ings of That Period by Taking
Mrs. Block’s Advice
Hopkins, Minn. —“During Change
of Life I had hot flashes and suffered
for two years. I
saw Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable
Compound adver
tised in the paper
and got good re
sults from taking
it. I recommend
your medicino to
my friends and you
may publish this
fact as a testi
monial. ” — Mrs.
Robert Block,
Box 642, Hopkins, Minn.
It has been said that not one woman
in a thousand passes this perfectly na
tural change without experiencing a
train of very annoying and sometimes
painful symptoms. Those dreadful hot
Hashes, sinking spells, spots before
the eyes, dizzy spells, nervousness,
are only a few of the symptoms.
Every woman at this age should profit
by Mrs. Block’s experience and
try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.
If you have the slightest doubt that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound will help you write to Lydia E.

"So I did,” confessed the other

wasn't suited for it.”
“A little bird told you, I suppose.”
