RIPPLING RHYMES.
(By Walt Mason)
Bleak December
December always makes me sad, for then the climated
mostly bad, and if a-motoring one goes, he’ll freeze hi.s
wmskers and his nose. Uncertain is December’s mood;
her conduct hints that she is stewed. Her changes are a
thing of dread; you cannot plan two hours ahead. The
sun may rise as bright as brass, and promise putting up
much grass. You cry, “Oh what a lovely day! 11l gel
my car and scorch away, and breathe some crisp re
freshing air, which is abundant everywhere.” And when
you’ve gone nine miles or four, the sky clouds up, yoi.
hear a roar, and then a howling storm appears, to freeze
your sideboards and your ears. Next morning there is
snow to burn, it’s deep wherever you may turn. Then
rapture in your bosom swells. “Now for a sled and
string of bells,” you cry, “asd eke an old buff mare, and;
we’ll go sleighing here and there!” You rig up sled and
bolls and steed, and dash away at frightful speed, and :
then there comes a summer thaw, the blamedest thaw you
ever saw. The snow’s reduced to grimy flood, the sled is
sticking in the mud. And when the snow is melted down,
and you are hoofing into town , a storm comes up with,
shriek and din, to freeze your hangdowns and your chin, j

RUSSIA AS A WORLD POWER
In almost any event the outcome of the present war
will mark the disappearance of Russia as a world power.
That great empire consists of a vast aggregation of
nationalties, gathered gradually throogh conquest by an
ambitious and militaristic family, the greater part of
which extensive conquests have taken place within the
two centuries last past. It was Peter the Great, who as
cended the throne with his brother Ivan in 167 G, (Ivan
dying in 1682), that raised Russia from a half barbarous
nation to one of progressive tendencies, and organized a
people for a great career of conquest which has extended
the dominions of a single family to cover one-half of
Europe and a large part of Asia.
Only by the energy of a strong military domination
could have been extended and maintained so vast a system
of conquest and assimilation. Only by the same kind of
a domination can be held together that great area of the
Earth’s surface. With Russia subdued by Germany
there would be but one way to hold together all the vast
diversity of population and interests. That would be by
restoration of the Romanoff dynasty, its throne sustain
ed by Prussian bayonets. Even then the ability of a su
zerain Czar to enforce his sway over all that vast do
minion would be an uncertain quantity. The force that
has held the Romanoff family in power has been the
peculiarly significant relation existing between the
Throne and the people which was the religious tie given by
the headship of the church which was as much a part of
his patrimony as were the crown and sceptre. To all good
Ireek Catholics in Russia the Czar was the vicegerent of
lod. in which profound relation he received homage and
idoration given but one other earthly ruler, and that
vas a strong and potent ofree in sustaining his claims to
ivic and military authority. Reduce the Czar to a vas
al of a foreign power he would be dethroned from his
iigh estate as plainly and palpably as he has been re
luced already by the recent revolution; and he would find
t impossible to hold the allegiance of all the outlying re
gions populated by other races of men, with their ’ own
Aspirations and ambitions.
Under a republican form of government the result
will come yery near alike what would follow reduction of
Russia to a German suzerainty. There would be no
centrifugal force to hold together all the vast and various
or ms of nationality that have been welded into a single
mpire. Secessions and'Thstitution of new governments
/ould follow naturally. Siberia would set up in the
business of government upon her own account, wild
nountaineers of the Caucasus would sieze upon the op
portunity to regain the liberty lost by Schamyl in 1856.
inland, Esthonia and the Ukraine would strike for
separation and autonomy. All that and much more
ivould go to dismember what is known as the Russian
Empire and cause its destruction as a world power.

The Wrong Bley
“The Daily Morning Oasis”
has been informed that its ac
count of the deportation of Mi'.
Bley, in yesterday’s issue it got
i the name of the deported gen
. tleman incorrectly. That it was
[ Mr. Simon Bley hho das de
ported. (Refused admission
would be putting it more cor
-1 rectly).
The mistake arose from the
: fact that the name of Mr. Adol-
J so Bley had appeared upon the
> register of the National Hotel
, Monday evening, after arrival
. of the train from the south,
' and the fact had been noted in
’ the personal items appearing in
j Tuesday morning’s newspaper-
L So when the information of the
deportation was given the topic
’ was treated naturally as re
ferring to Mr. Adolfo Bley- The
deportee is a brother of Mr.
1 Adolfo Bley, and a member of
the firm of Bley Brothers.
In this connection it is not
amiss to state that Mr. Adolfo
Bley has not been connected
with the Banco de Sonora for
more than a lear, the gentle
man having transferred his in
terest and retired from the
bank in 1915.
