She can l^iittk a man down as

was joy-riding on "the Speedway
with two young men. Mrs. Far

around, until It finally came to a
stop before one of the fashionable
cafes.
"Just a moment, my dear,"
Mrs. Farling said to the girl, ask
ing her escorts to excuse her for a
minute. There followed a con

called her escorts over and said:
"This Is Miss Brooks, an aw
fully good friend of mine. I'll
have to call the supper off."
Wanted to.Sleep.
The girl admitted she had never
seen either of teh young men be

escorted her to her home. The
girl thanked her and bade her
gpod night. But Mrs. Farling
said she first wanted to have a
talk with the girl's mother.
"Oh, mother will be furious if
you wake her up at this time of
night," the girl said, and her pre

her rest Interrupted.
"If you can sleep soundly at
this time of night without know

had better cultivate insomnia,"
Mrs. Farling said.
It turned out that the mother
thought her daughter had gone to
visit a friend, but didn't particu

she believed her daughter well

"Korniloff Sand Dance"
Goes Into the Discard
By Charles E. Russell
(Copyright, HUT. by the Newspa
per Enterprise Association.)
Anil iinn. Im-Imilil the Kornlloff
Sand Dance bus come and gone and
ink en its place
with il"' other
faked-up. npectreN
Hull we have
ii«« n told were
about to over
turn the lCiisM.ui
democracy and
bring hack übso
lullsm.
Kornlloff — it
in only a week
since this foolish
vain man was
pictured to us by
the reactionary
correspondents
fc.TMJUSSFLt. ar marching up
on Petrograd at the head of a
mighty host to oust the horrible
radiralH and show the incapable
Itussians what's what.
And nssjv he, too, lies In prison
with a pretty fair chance of being
shot and his 'innumerable host"
which consisted of himself and
about 16 other lunatics Is no more
BUT THE RUSSIAN PEMOC
RACY GOES ITS WAY UNDIS
TURBED AND UPON THE ROAD
MAPPED OUT FOR IT.
This Is a fair sample of the
hectic dream stuff that comes dally
olut of Petrograd to cheer the
drooping hearts of cave dwellers
and dismay the friends of RiiHSla
that happen to me uninformed.
Anybody that knows Russia
knew from the beginning that this
chattering Kornlloff person never
had a chance for anything except
the firing squad. YOU COULD
NO MORE ESTABLISH A MILI
TARY DISTATORSHIP IN RUS
SIA THAN YOU COULD SAIL AN
ICE YACHT IN PERDITION. At
the least prospect of any such
thing the whole Russian people
would arise to stamp it to death.
Outside of certain foreign em
bassies and colonies there Is not
one element in Russia that would
not fight to the end against any
such enterprise, no matter who en
gineered It.
Many American newspapers. In
cluding some that should have
known^better, were, fooled into
giving smpathy and support to this
crack-brained excursion Into the
realms of fantasy.
They bad editorials expressing
the opinion that Kornlloff ought
to win and praying that he irfght
—printing these things between
visions of the fall of the revolu
tion and the inauguration of that
One Man Power that for gome rea
son unknown we are determined
to have In Russia whether Russia
will stand for it or not.
There are four bottom facts
about Hi-' Russian situation, plain,
certain, unchanging facts, and if
the American newspapers will
keep them handy and refer to
them when these various pipes
come forth from Petrograd about
impending disaster, they can avoid
misleading their readers and
what Is stlH more Important, avoid
tangling still further the relations
between this country and Russia.
RUSS SUCCESS
(United Press Leased Wire.)
PETROGRAD, Sept. 24.—Rus
sian troops met the German of
fensive In the Riga region with a
counter attack south of the
Pskov highroad, the war office
announced today. The enemy lost
heavily.
"After a fierce struggle we oc
cupied positions in the sector of
Silzeml," the war office said.
"The enemy lost severely, leav
ing over 400 corpses on the field.
We raptured 6o prisoners and 10
machine guns."

BLAMED BY WIFE
■I nlOil Pi*** l omami Wire.)
BUTTE, Mont., Sept. 24. —
Henrietta Coombs has on file here
today a suit for $1,200 against
Adelinl Rodoni and Linda O'Brien,
proprietors of a saloon, and James
Bmlth, bartender, alleging that
she had to support herself because
of her husband's over-indulgence
at the Rodoni-O'Brlen thirst par
lor.
have no scene or anything like
that. My car Is waiting and you
can escort me to it."
Mrs. Farllng, however, does not
always succeed in having matters
go so smoothly. She got on a
crowded street car the other night
and saw two half Intoxicated ne
groes taking up enough room for
four people and making them
selves otherwise objectionable.
She asked them to move and they
started mumbling rough language.
Knocks lin Out.
A man stepped forward In Mrs.
Farling's defense, but she told
him not to bother except to press
the button so the car would stop
at the next corner. The negroes,
scenting trouble, lunged forward
to get out of the car, pushing the
men aside. Mrs. Farling swept
one of them off his feet onto the
back platform and grabbed the
other by the nape of the neck
snd dragged him helpless Into the
J arms of the conductor and a wait
ing policeman. The other negro,
thoroly cowed, was handed over,
too.
"No, this was not the worst en
counter I have had," Mrs. Farling
explained. "The worst, I think,
warf against three negrces I
caught shoplifting. I had to knock
two of them absolutely out before
11 could handle the third."
Here are the facta:
I.—No matter what may

this town, which has been under the Prussian heel since 1870. Note

Answers Editorial
EDITOR THE TIMES:
I read with much interest your
editorial about letting the jury or
two juries decide the value of the
land In the army post district.
I am conscious of the fact Jhat
many Tacomans have been ami
still are positive that the latHpin
this district is almost worthless.
1 liven In Tacoma for years and I
thought this land was no good un
til a few years ago I learned
better.
I did not learn that there was
some good land until I turned In
to one of the places. When we
travel from 20 miles an hour aad
up In an auto we cannot learn that
there Is good land in this district.
Turn off the road and see^gnd
you will learn like others have.
The speculator and land grab
ber will probably ge* It in the
neck this time. The men handling
this affair, namely, County Offi
cers T. H. Belllngham, Juntos R
O'Farrell, J. W. Slayden, f, Q.
Remann, and their special counsel.
,'. T. S. Lyle, gave us specMnln
forniation thru the press March
21, 1917; and part of this infor
mation was as follows: "The
■property owners in the district
will be safe in letting their cases
go to the jury on the evidence of
the county appraisers alone. It is
anr desire to pay exactly what the
land Is worth." ***.
We have been assured square
d«_aHng, but the ccnderanethm
It is most unlucky that these
facts are lost sight of In this coun
try. The editorials and reaction
ary articles that American news
papers print go straight back to
Russia and create there the im
pression that America is hostile to
the Russian democracy and wants
tb see It go down.
Intelligent Russians know well
enough that there are other peo
ples In the world that are hoping
to see the failure of the Russian
experiment, but what was hoped
for from America was sympathy
and undersandlng. Instead of
sympathy and understanding a|
large part of the American press
Is banding to the Russian republic
nothing hut a choice assortment of
hard words and the hope that It
will choke.
I understand, of course, that for
some of this attitude of ours two
fairly adequate reasons exist.
In the first place It is tough for
some of us to support a govern
ment conducted by plowmen, car
pentrs. blacksmiths and teamsters.
But bitter as the pall may be ws
shall Just have to swallow it In
this case, brethren.
Because that Is the only kind
of government there is or will be
in Russia (unless Germany
squelches it) and Russia Is our
ally and it is vital to us that she
board composed of the five named
above have surely forgotten the
promises made during the army
post election campaign and for
gotten their statements to us
thru the press March 21.
Duplicate what we have, the
same distance from good markets
with good roads, fine scenery,
mountain and sea breezes, con
genial neighbors and good drink
ing water, and view of Mt. Ta
coma, and we do not care what
you pay for It or what we are al
lowed for our present holdings.
The way this condemnation suit
Is going the property owner, if
forced to accept less than he is
or has..been willing to sell for or
he Is forced to go to the expense
of fighting his case In court.
We have been assured that It
would not be necessary for us to
appear In court as the condemna
tion board .would be so fair that
we can "let our caseg go to the
jury on the evidence of the coun
ty appraisers alone."
The people In this district feel
as tho they have been deceived
and will be greatly wronged if
their places go for the prices set
In Mr. Lyle's office.
Duplicate what we have and al
low us moving expenses.

shall continue to hold that lino.
Whether she holds It or does not
depends upon the will and judg
ment of this government of plow
men, carpenters, blacksmiths and
teamsters. We shall have to take
them to our hearts, therefore, no
matter how much our arls'ocratlc
souls may revolt at the thought.
In the next place, some of v*
that really want to sympathize
with all this have been disgusted
by what we believe to be the fail
ure of Russia to respond to the
needs of her allies and do her
Bhare of the fighting. Six months
I have passed since the revolution,
we say, and Russia hasn't begun
to fight yet.
Hence we are pleased to say that
the Russians must be flabby and
deficient In fighting quality. We
say that their long delay Is assisJ
lng the common enemy and are
bumptiously confident that tbey
must have a dictator to keep them
In order and so forth.
Six months—yes. Well, almost
three years passed before this
country got ready to fight. I don't
know what right we have to throw
bricks at a country that has taken
only six months. The American
casualties In the war so far, in
cluding those murdered on the
Lusltanla, are about 400. The
Russioji casualties to date are 7,
--000,000. When we have suffered
In proportion we may with propri
ety talk of the slackers In other
nations.
Russia has undergone the great
est revolution and Internal convul
sion In hUtory. As rapidly as pos
sible she is pulling herself to
gether. The American press Is not
giving her any help on the job, but
she Is doing It anyway.
And as for assisting the common
enemy, let me tell you something.
THERE IS NOBODY IN RUSSIA
THAT IS ANY YELLOWER THAN
THE OLD BILL STONE GANG IN
THE UNITED STATES SENATE.
80 LONG AS OUR COUNTRY IS
ADORNED WITH HESE SPECI
MENS OF THE SKULKER AND
THE BACK-FIRER WE HAD
BETTER KEEP SILENCE ABOUT
SIMILAR AFFLICTIONS ELSE
WHERE.
But anyway, the Nornlloff pipe
dream and bugaboo has passed.
The specter of clvllar war that the
feverish correspondents saw plain
ly to be raising its head In Russia
has put Its head down again or
taken to the woods. But be not
disappointed. Nert week will see
another pipe as hysterical, as lurid
and as unsubstantial as this.
The next horned monster to oc
cupy the center of the stage will
probably be dissensions in the cab
inets or a raid on Petrograd by a
block of jabberwocks.

KORNILOFF TO
BE ABSOLVED?
(United Vrenn Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 24.
—The Russian embassy today
completely absolved Gen. Kornlloff
of all blame for the recent upris
ing against the Kerensky govern
ment.
It was officially explained by
i the embassy that Kornlloff's de
fection resulted from a "mutual
misunderstanding" between him
and Kerensky. This Is taken as
official forecast that Kornlloff
will not pay a penalty for his re
volt.
In a lengthy statement, the
embassy explains that the bollshe
vlkis charges that Kerensky was
behind the Kornlloff uprising had
their inception in negotiations be
tween Kerensky and Kornlloff and
the latter's m-f understanding.
