Wonder where the Cuban revolution
passed out.
Governor Harris believes in the pre
cedents set by President Wilson —for
he read his message.
Pushing up the date for Congress,
two weeks wasn't a bad idea, as long
at it had meet sometime.
The Germans claim it to be a
strategic move, which is for the con
sumption of the people at home.
The air seems purer and the general
conditions much better since the Ger
man embassy got out of the country.
Iff everybody knew they would be’
killed within twelve hours after they
escaped from jail, there would be few
er breaks.
All of the ex-presidents are stirring
’em up on preparedness. Two of them,
•which is all there happens to be, are
working over-time.
The Jacksonville negro may plead
the "unwritten law” for shooting the
Maine capitalist. Well enough, and it
should hold here as well as in other
instances.
Carranza has just received another
note from Uncle Sam in which he is
appraised of the plotting. Os course,
it will be news to him as it was to
von Bernstorff.
It makes no difference how drastic
the legislature makes the prohibition
laws if the people do not co-operate
and the officials do not bring unlawful
dealings to light.
Notices are being sent out to Span
ish-American war veterans to notify
their camps of their addresses. There’ll
be a time when Uncle Sam can again
use some of them.
The Alabama sheriff who fired his
whole jail force following the escape
of Overton has set a powerful exam
ple for Georgia officials. Such action
is, indeed, laudable.
*‘T shall never become a traitor ! o
my country,” are words quoted as com
ing from Czar Nicholas, that is Nich
olas Romanoff—the use-to-be emperor.
Pretty good “sop” even for a republic.
If we weren't good friends of the
Russians, we'd suggest Wimjaybrine
a® an organizer for their new republic.
But, we would have suffer him here
than see a friend suffer from his pres
ence.
Hughes and Roosevelt joined in a
meeting in New York to tell of the un
preparedness of the United States.
Seven years in the White House gave
Roosevelt a chance to do a big part,
while Hughes doubtless desired to do
his later on—but happened to be run
ning against Wilson.
THE LARGE MOVEMENT
j It is estimated that 4.500 negroes
j have emigrated from this section to the
'* north, according to figures furnished
by a railway official at Albany. At first
1 sight, these figures may seem too large
but w hen it is remembered that there
has been a steady drain for the past
six or eight months it will be seen that
only a short while is required to
mark up a long list of negroes who
have departed for the "land of peace
and plenty.”
Many have gone never to return as'
1 death has wrapped them in the cold of
’ their new found homes. Others are
j suffering as is verified by recent re
ports and investigations in Philadel
phia. Some have returned—with the
semi-humorous cry "never again.”
Three agents have been caught in
I Sumter county and sent to the chain
j gang for their illegal conduct But
I this is a small proportion of the agents
who have operated throughout this
■ ceation. The negroes who have been
convicted of emigration work are pos
sibly less guilty than those "higher up”
in command of the movements.
The Albany dispatch states that the
movements has virtually ceased. In
comparison with certain periods the
out-go is now almost negligible. Still,
there are fundamental causes which
j have brought about this movement and
■ the white people have not made a step
oward remedying these evil conditions.
THE NEW CONGRESS
The urgent call for deep considera
tion of affairs affecting the United
States in its relation to other nations
of the earth has gone to Congress. By
the proclamation of President Wilson |
I
they will convene on April 2nd, in- i
stead of April 16th, which was the date
first selected.
The organization of the house will
be a prominent feature for the first de
liberation, and the grave international
situation will likely prove a barrier to
haggling—for the house must get down
to business immediately.
There is a sc.irng likelihood that
Champ Clark will be re-elected as
speaker of the house. Certainly, the
Republicans are not united in their j
support of Leader Mann.
The house will give no trouble in the'
matter of international affairs. The'
; |
senate can be expected to hear speech-'
es from several pro-Ge.rmans, among‘
those being the surviving members of.
the despicable "dozen.” But. as a;
whole the American people do not in
_ | tend to have Congress halt and
' I
I I quibble over the delicate situation
I which exists. Every member of Con
gress have his views and could be pre
pared to vote after the introduction of
-J the measure without a word of debate
51 —as the speeches made in Congress do
, | not change the minds of congressmen
> and senators.
RUSSIA’S PROBLEM.
, I
’ i
1 , The people of Russia face a problem
in the re-organization of their govern -
I ment almost equal, if not more serious
!than the early days of the United
J States. It is true that a pattern has
(been carefully prepared for Russia by
’ j the republic of America, coupled with
I I
| the movements in South America. But,
! I
i Russia is in a great war with a power-
i ful enemy, and the masses of their
1 people have not reached the same
s
stage of progress as had the pioneers
s |
of our republic.
i A free and unlimited republic such
1
, as the United States would be as fatal
tor Russia as her autocratic govern
} ment has proven in the past. The
great empire is not ready for the rule
j "of the people, by the people and for
the people.” This seems to be a gen-j
eral conclusion already reached by the
| council of ministers who have the gov
-3 J eminent of Russia in hand, for they
sI are debating the regency of Grand;
.'Duke Michael, and he reciprocates by:
? an offer to rule if the people governed!
- are willing.
Nothing in all history compares with
the swift overthrow of the Romanoff,
i dynasty. Countries have witnessed
- j and survived revolutions all the days'
i.j of our lives, but the bloodlessness of
a ’ Russia's coup is a wonder for history. I
.1 1* was the red hand of murder which!
3 flows over France's history, but cer-f
- tainly civilization seems to have taken
a step forward by accomplishments
without the usual accompanying wars.
It was through German and neutral
sources that disturbances in Russia
first became public, and the under-cur
rent of thought seems to portend that
rapid results would benefit the cause of
Germany and her allies in the gerat
war. But not so, if all our available
information is to be given credence.
Russia has renewed her energies for a
greater war with a successful con
clusion. It was the powerful senti
ments of the people against the pro-
German influence in Russia which
culminated in the abdication of Nichol
as 11.
The United States will soon recog
nize the new government, according to
dispatches from Washington. The
moral attitude of the United States
will be a sincere hope that Russia will
take her place among the peoples of
the earth with a government by the
consent of the governed—though it be
monarch or republic.

Sausage.
Sausage, is a round, fat, unsentimen
tal article of indigestion.
It is the father of all wursts —buck,
liver and weinie. Its grandfather is
bologna. And its grandmother is more
bologna.
Sausage is two kinds, trammelled
and untrammelled. Trammelled sau
sage wears a thing spring overcoat the
year round and comes a la necklace.'
Untrammelled sausage is sold by the
pound and served in solitaires.
Trammelled sausage is wild. That's ,
why it’s trammelled. This is evidence'!
by the fact that it will stand just so
much cooking and then its bursts its
I bonds.
Untrammelled, or tame, sausage just•
sits and sizzles.
YOUNG JAPANESE WOMAN TO

IN THE UNITED STATES
TOKIO, March 22.—Miss Toshiko,
Sakamaki, a young Japanese woman. I
is leaving for the United States to.
preach Shintoism, the great Japanese
religion of ancestor worship. She will;
settle in Los Angeles, and while her;
initial efforts will be to revive Shin
i toism among the Japanese in Cali-
I fornia she will strive generally to con-
I vert Americans.
I She explains her mission as that tf|
j endeavoring to counteract the tendency.
j of young Japanese women to neglect.

■ old Japanese civilization.” She is the'
! first Japanese woman Shinto mission-1
! ary to visit America. Many times
sought in marriage she has always de
clined, declaring herself wedded to her
cause.

On Thursday afternoon at Albany
the Indianapolis Indians and Pitts

' There was a time when President

Now, Governor Harris comes as a
