By Don Marius A rose by any other name would Imell as sweet. Bryanism, Hearstism or Billy flundayism smells neither worse or better. The real menace of an ism is buaged by the amount of ignor- mce behind it. Only the ignorant can consti tute a mob. The more ignorant the more dangerous the mob. The Russian mob led by Lenine and Trotsky has a corner on the world's ignorance. All the errors of the past cen turies it carries in stock and hordes. The leaders of this mob are finely educated men, tho scheming, grasping and vindictive. They keep the mob at fever heat while they gather in the rubles for themselves. Every mob must have a leader. The shrewder, the more cunning, the more tactful the leader, the more invincible the mob. Red handed anarchy reigns in Russia today, and, Oh, the pity of it. For the ignorant Russian millions facing want, starvation, famine, revolution, anarchy, chaos are to be pitied. Who is or was responsible? Russian Auto cracy sowed the wind. Today she reaps the whirlwind. A government that needs must hold its subjects in ignorance to hold them in subjugation is only add ing fire to an inferno. Sooner or later the eruption will come, must come. Under the law of evolution, the great struggle of humanity to rise to a higher plane is as in evitable as the movement of the planets. The 'poor Russian peasant is not to blame. The worm has fin ally turned, that is an. mat a crowned head has lallen and a few royal throats cut in the turn ing was to be expected. There is a lesson in this little bit of tragic history. Just as man is persecuted will it be visited back to his persecu tors. This is not a threat but simply the application of the law of re Man would have no need of reason if it was intended he should forever grovel in the dust. Some forms of government de lay his advance. You may dam a river and change its course but you cannot stop its flow. Bolshevism is the result of a condition . A half starved mangy horse will breed lice. Certain diseased conditions whether economic, politic or both are propitious for the generation of parasites. One need not hunt for a cure. Just relieve the con dition. The government of the future that will stand must educate the masses. An ignorant man is al ways a menace to society. Every man should have an equal opportunity . There should be no color line, no hyphenates. Every adult should be a citizen and every citizen 100 American. No man shall be exploited be cause he is poor or otherwise un fortunate. Every man shall re ceive the full value of his pro duction . No more, no less. This is the beginning of democracy and nothing less will satisfy the earnest student of history. A good crop of pure democracy will soon choke out the weeds of Bolshevism. Big Cash Sale at The Cash Store beginning February 3. Don't forget it. Spend Large Sums on Roads About $300,000,000 will be put intc road building this year, ac cording to estimates by experts of the Department of Agricul ture, submitted to the Division of Public Works and Construction Development of Labor. It is es timated that about half of this amount will go to labor, The $300,000,000 of construc tion estimated will not be suffi cient to make up deferred war construction, it is believed, for normally the amount spent on roads in the United States is not far below $300,000,000, and dur ing war times road building came almost to a stop in many localities.

They help the family enjoy life, bring the pleasures and advantages of the town within reach of the farmer and give practical service every day in country and town. They require a minimum of attention; any one can run the Ford and care for it, but it is better to have repairs and replacements taken care of by those who are familiar with the work and have the tools, the genuine materials, and skilled men to do the work promptly- We pledge Ford owners the reliable Ford service with real Ford parts and standard Ford prices. eo eo oo oo oo eo oo oo CO oo oo oo CO oo o O 13 oo oo G'5 &o c oo e co eo oo oo oo . oo oo oo oo oo CO CO eo 00 OO CO eo eo CO CO GO OQ OO OO GO OO oo CO oo oo oo eo oo oo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo oe Oil eo oo o CO Seeker's Transcontinental Garage Springerville, Arizona.
