and we imagine a "help wanted" ad

ment committee In New York would
bring In a long line of eligibles who
wouldn't need any Inductions In the
ethics of the barroom if the bar were
in working order.
DISCOURAGING AVIATION.
A few days ago the congress re-
fused to grant an additional appro-
priation of |IS,000,000 for the army
air service. Perhaps the refusal was
ft result of the somewhat miserable
failure In aircraft production during
the war. Perhaps It was In line with
ft haphazard policy of cutting down
government expenditures and re-
trenching when everybody believes
retrenching is very much to be de-
sired.
But whatever the cause or renson
for cutting the appropriation, the ac-
tion of congress was unwise. The
country is entering upon a new era
—Just as much upon the era of avia-
tion as It was embarking upon the
era of steamboats an even century
ago, upon the era of the "Iron horse"
a half century ago, or upon the era of
the automobile fifteen or even t"n
years ago. It la a pity that tfie gov-
ernment should discourage a via! ion,
but that Is Just what happens when
th« congress makes it impossible t> r

ts it eaid to our credit—our navy did

The point is, though, that aviation
•hould be encouraged as much as po-
aible In this country. Instead of tw-
it# disparaged. And aviation can-
\Vt> have he'ird so much about fam-
ine In l'utrograd and d'atha by the
thousand frym plague* and dlaeasca
that often some of us at up to wonder
whether or not nil thess stories are
true.
To be sure, wine of then* are not;
bllt, t" be sure, some of them are.
Also "there must be much suffering
and woe In terror-stricken Huas^a of
which shall perhaps never hear.
Those who aro Inclined to doubt
the reports of wholesale deaths from
starvation and disease might well re-
member that plagues and famine are
the hand maidens of war. They have
followed elope in the wake of every
great struggle In the paal, and the
I'nlte'd states, Fiance, nnd Great Brit-
ain have been saved from their heavy
toll through the effectiveness of
health and sanitary crusades and a
thorough organization of the agricul-
tural and Industrial systems during
the war. Farms everywhere have been
made to produce as much as possible
and while the industrial system was
weighted down with war burdens yet
the production and distribution of
food was regarded as a very Import-
ant part of the war business.
But with no Industrial organization
In Ituasla, no agricultural organiza-
tion, no connection with the outside
world It Is easy to presume that the
people of that country must be suf-
fering. It la easy also to understand
how a. city, like Tetrograd, of 2,000,-
000 souls could have dwindled to per-
hups les« than 400,000 during this
reign of chaos; for even if they did
not die, they had to leave the metrop-
olis to keep from starving to death.
When the bolshevik! took control In
Russia the country was out of the war
because, as Kerensky put It, Its re-
source* were exhausted. Nobody
claims that the bolshevikl have bet-
tered matters. There Is every reason
to believe that they have made ft mess
of things.
Bo while eome of the stories of suf-
fering and famine coming from vari-
ous points In Europe may be taken
with a grain of salt, yet one may with
safety put considerable credence In
reports of the desperate plight of the
Muscovites.
They must be suffering terribly,
and with tales of their woe reaching
ug almost dally It Is difficult to un-
derstand how some hair-brained agi-
tators In this country—where there 1r
plenty to eat If It does come a little
high—can itand up and tell you that
they are for the Bu«lan sort of revo-
lution.
NO PARTIALITY.
When the government outlawed tlio
strike of the coal miners, those sym-
pathizing with labor Interests feared
that, whatever the motives of the gov-
ernment, capital would profit at the
expense of labor In the end.
Without taking the Innocent public
into consideration, It appeared as
though the administration were sid-
ing with the operators, although At-
torney General Palmer made It plain
then, and he makes it plain now, that
so far as the controversy between the
miners and the operators Is concerned
the government is absolutely neutral.
But so far as the public Is concerned,
the government is at war with any
organization or faction which would
either force the price of fuel up or
ring suffering upon the country
through a fuel famine.
It must, therefore, be heartening to
abor to read Attorney General Pal-
mer's fharp retort to the wholesale
rade association that the. government
hould not Interfere "with the normal
>;ir?e of supply and demand during
the strike."
'•'he attorney general says he is
"arrmsied" at the very suggestion, and
in expie sts the sentiments of every
to think that the government would
permit fuel famine prices and thus
let certain Interests profit from the
mine strike. With prices kept as low
aa possible the public will have fo
suffer enough, though if they were
permitted to go «ky-hlgli It Is to be
assumed that wholesalers with ooal
J on hand would realize more money
than would have been the case If there
had been no controversy. Th«y could
gft whatever they were nmind to ask
for their fuel—nnd wmo of them
would ;i-!< enough.
The letter from the wholesale coal
trade association Illustrates forcefully
the all too prevalent tendency almost
everywhere to hold up the public for
as much as the public will p rmit.
The only difference Is that the latest
suggestion Is a little more brazen than
any other heretofore advanced—a lit-
tle more frank and during.
While the Justice of the govern-
ment's position in the present contro-
versy may be readily recognized, yet
this letter which has aroused the at-
torney general should serve to keep
the government on the alert to see
that no Interest profits as ft result of
the outlawing of the mine strike. In
this connection It makes the dear old
public feel like It has a friend left
In the world to hear the attorney gen-
eral nay:
"If any advantage s»ha 11 be taken of
present conditions by any arrange-
ment or agreement of two or more
persons to restrict either production
or distribution, In order to enhance
th« price of fuel, I shall, without hesi-
tation, take precisely the same action
against such persons as has been
taken against the officers of the mine
workers' union."
That Is the only attitude that pos-
sibly could have Justified the outlaw-
ing of the mine strike—neutrality
everywhere except In cases where the
welfare of the public la vitally con-
cerned.
tied up—that he will not be able to
make It from one house to another
betwuon suns.
ABOUT TROY.
In line with her policy "f never be-
ing behind In anything, Troy ha* an-
nounced an armistice celebration for
Nov.'11. Plans are being laid for
a rcguhir affair, and as one means
of getting a crowd a free barbecue
will be provided. Invitations are es-
pe> tally extended to all former ser-
vice men, but the public generally Is
cordially urged to be present.
Troy Is to be congratulated In plan-
nlri: an armistice celebration, for the
day certainly Is sacred enough to be
ol served and not many towns In this
Immediate vicinity have planned or
thmight of special programs. Es
pei tally Is this true throughout the
state with towns the el*e of Troy;
but still Troy 1ms a different way of
doing things from that of other towns
her size. "*
<X TOltF.R WEATHER.
. .There was something funny about
the sort of weather Issued Runnel»
county during the month of October.
Fact Is, It was dingbusted weather—
and lo s of It, strung out over the
wlmle month.
A report from Balllngcr says that
the month ■was the wettest October
In history, though the precipitation
was only 6.5 lnchea. Mora rain than
that has fallen In October! in the
past, but in those days the rsln
simply fell and had It over with.
I,a.<>t month it was ft eort of drlizle
when it wasn't pouring down—wh'fh
give* us the apparent paradox of th«
wettest month on record although It
1-t not uncommon to have more rain
than the gauge showed.
But Balllnger isn't worrying much
over the rain, for out there they hold
fl'mly In the faith that everything
usually turns out all right. And it
usually does, which only eerves to
strengthen the believers In their
faith.
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY

Who Are The Angels of Anarchy?
The Department of Justice «t Wash-
ington has a list of thirty-five for-
eign-language newspapers and maga-
zines published !n N*tv York which
advocate the overthrow of the United
States government by force. Deputy
Attorney General Berger of New
New York places thi number at more
than forty, and says that all but two
are subsidized by p irsons of wealth,
whose names we show).
It has been customary to refer to
these angels of anarchy as "parlor
bolshevlsts." »ome of whom publicly
appear at times on the lunatic fringe
of revolution, but now comes Samuel
Gompers with the direct chargo that
financial Interests, especially the
United States Steel corporation." are
the backers of these enterprises and
that the purpose Is to "prejudice the
cause of organized labor."
A recent prosecution In this city re-
sulted In the conviction of two men
responsible for one of these publica-
tions, and on sentencing them to the
penitentiary, Justice Weeks said blunt-
ly that their crime amounted to treas-
on against the United States and mer-
ited death. If our Bolshevist press,
by whomsoever sustained, Is as much
of a menace to the American Federa-
tion of I^abor as to the government,1'
and there is no secret as to its chief
sources of revenue, why should not
the namqp and addresses of all Its
sponsors be given at once?
Imprisonment may be a suitable
remedy for some of the people who
conduct these Inflammatory sheets,
but publicity for the men and women
who pay the printing bills might be
more effective In abating a danger-
ous nuisance.
TOGETHER.
Not long ago the Telegram sug-
gested !n this column that ther*
ought to be a district organization of
all Industrial and agricultural Inter-
ests, so thnt county and then district
contests might be held In preparation
for state contests ftlonj agricultural
and industrial lines—thus through
co-operative efforte riveting the eye*
of the state and the south tinon
this particular section—central Tex-
as.
A local poultry fan came to the
office to express his approval of «uch
a plan and to say also that he hoped
the movement would he taken up
nnd pushed to a successful conclu-
sion. He agreed that ft df«trlct n--
<raniratlon of poultry raisers would
result In greater Interest In the poul-
try bnslnees and would also tend to
Improve the flocks throughout th's
section. He said It would he the
greatest thing In the world for ft «*n-
trallzatlon of effort In every Indus-
try represented In the dis'rlct organ-
ization, and would open up a way
for a vigorous advertising campaign
if the Idea was pushed for all It Is
worth. 4
The suggestion for an organization
of this tvne was made In referring
to the poultry meetin? to be held In
Georgetown early this mon'h. at
whleh other farm and agricultural
organizations will be reoresonted. If
might he a good plan to bring up a

Peking, China.—."The Princess Der
Ling shall marry the man of her
choice. The great ancestress has ao
decided."
It was the great ftneestress herself
—I ao Tal Ho, aged empress ot China,
now dead, that spoke these words,
and nothing could have been more
significant of the fact that the old
regime In China was approaching Its
end.
For the empreaa waa actually grant-
ing permission for her first lady In
waiting, the Princess Der Ung, to wed
a foreigner, Thftddeus C. White, ftn
American.
Today, 14 years later, there Is no
happier or more influential couple In
the entire Orient than Mr. ftnd Mrs.
White. They'll live In Peking, where
White is a mining expert ftnd Mrs.
white, as the princess prefers to be
called, Is the acknowledged leader of
the Chinese and foreign social life of
the great celestial city.
Love vs. PoUdre.
Thelr's was an unusual romance.
Thaddeus White was United btates
vice consul at Shanghai. The blue-
eyed, fair-haired New Yorker symbol-
ised fair-haired New Yorker symbol-
and feared; the foreign Invasion Into
China and surging new age that was
destined to leave the Manchu govern-
ment high and dry on the rock*.
But White loved the empress* per-
sonal favorite. The little princess was
European-trained and speaks five lan-
guages fluently. She acted as the
empress' Interpreter and special emis-
sary in dealing with foreign visitors
at the Chinese court. Her position as
go-between wfts unique and lmpor-
-ftnt.
Moreover, being ft tftlented musician
ftnd singer, It fell to her lot to enter-
tftln the empress snd help her to
while ftwfty the dftrk days thftt were
beginning to lower.
Moreover, from time immortal, it
had been the empress' privilege to de-
termine whom her favorites should
marry.
Earns Her Freedom.
But the Little Princess earned her
freedom. The Boxer trouble brought
to the Peking court the emissaries of
Europe's greatest nations. Here was
an international problem greater than
any Chinese empress had ever faced.
Fur two years the Princess Der Ling
rendered sterling service as an Inter-
preter In the all«lmportant audiences
which the empress held.
Those audiences cemented the em-
press* hatred of foreigners. They
seemed to put a final quietus on the
love hopes of one Thaddeus White,
American.
Then Uncle Sam remitted the Box-
er Indemnity.
The empress appreciated that She
saw that Americans were different.
And at that critical moment the
Princess Der Ling sent her brother
<»to kneel before the empress as sup-
pliant and ask that his slater might
marry White.
The request Is granted. Go to the
Princess Der Ling and tell her that
she has my blessing," said the em-
press. As she said It, her voice
trembled. It meant a breach in tho
great wall of China's isolation — a
breach that could never be amended.
The, empress is long slnee dead, the
empire Is no more. But the years
have brought nothing but happiness
to one couple in Peking—Mr. and Mrs.
Thaddeus C, White, Americans.
They have one son, whose privilege
It Is to listen to the most fascinating
tales that a mother ever told—tales of
the Chinese old regime, and of the
great American and European cities
as well.
