End Of Russian Autocracy? Wm. Wirt Mills. Russia is at present in the throes of an internal crisis similar to that of 1905, when the Russian government had to vyield and to make concessions to the people, to abolish unrestricted czarism and to ereate the Duma, Many historians have already observed that every step in political progress in Russia has been the immediate result of a military defeat on the battlefield. After the Crimean War the serfs were freed, after the Japanese War a constitution was introduced, and after the defeats in the present war the “conservative msajority of the Duma suddenly turned into a liveral one and came forward with radical demands such as parliamentary government, cqual rights for all foreign peoples within the Russian empire, restoration of the auto nomy of Finland, freedom of speech, freedom of Finland, freedom of the press, cte. Thoughy Mr, Goremykin, an old gentleman of 77 and the personi ~fication of Russian conservatism, is still the Russian premier, there can be no doubt about it that the days of his office are numbered and that he will soon be compelled to make room for a more liberal statesman. The present government has already agreed to grant sev eral concessions demanded by tne Duma, but they are still hesitating to accept the whole programme as presented by the new Duma major.ty. The government knows very well that though Russia is experi encing at present critical days s.milar to those of 1905, there is a big difference between the present crisis and the crisis of ten years ago, l.': 1905 there were in the country active revolutionary forces such as the university students, the intellectuals of the big cities, the oflicers of lower rank in garrisons in the provinces and the laborers of the big cities. Besides, there were a number of revolutionary leaders waom the government feared very much. To-day all these forces have vanished. The intellectuals, the stu dents and the laborers are all on the battlefield and some of them ptisovers of war in Germany and Austria; the labor leaders are in prison i Siberia, snd the big revolutionary figures, such as Gershuni, are either dead or they are undergoing life-long imprisonment, But in spite of this the Russian government is justified in fearing & new revolutionary uprising, because the merchant class, without which the government cannot continue the war, is affected by liberal ideas and is threatening to withdeaw its help from the government if the latter should refuse to take into consideration the new conditions created by the defeats of the army. Besides, the dissatisfaction with the government is today more general than ten years u;’jn, because the peasantry, that has made great sacrifices during the present war, is also affected by the general dis satisfaction with the present regime, In short, the revolutionary state of mind in Russia today is not concentrated in the big cities only, but it has penetrated iuto the Russian yillage and the Russian gvernment knows what there is at stake, if the whole Russian peasantry should rise against the government. Thus the government, though seeing clearly that the old revo lutionary forces are no more in existences, is well aware of a revolu tionary state of mind throughout the Russian empire and will there fore do everything to counteract this dissatisfaction by peaceful means But it is not yet convinced that the revolutiomary state of mind is so general as to justify the wholesale acceptaece of the programme of aew Duma majoritv, The l,)uma.mt\jor‘ity, on the other hand, is afraid that a reaction way set in and is anxious to commit the government to a liberal policy. That is, according to the judgment of men who are well acquainted with conditions in Rps_sm, the sum of the present Russian crisis, and according to the opinion of Russian liberahism, though there is no guarantee that Russian liberalism will be in a position to utilize its present conquest in the future, because there is no stability in Russian political life. . ies e e Eleven Cents Cotton A year ago cotton was selling for five anda half cents a pound. c I:;ttl: of it vzas sold at thatt [:irice, however—only enough to en. | 0 i | :upep lie:. armer {o pay urgent debts and buy himself some fall Consequently, there was little money in circulation and busi ness almost stagnated. | Cotton today is bringing eleven cents—more than that in some markets in the south—and much of it is being sold. Some people, therefore, are just twice as well off today as they were a year ago. Business conditions now are vigorous and buoyant, where a vear ago they were depressed and uncertain, Business is on the { oom today, A year ago it wason crutches, with a well-nigh hope fess outlook. So is it any wonder that eleven cents cotton is making the =outh look like the old south in the heyday of its prosperity? 1s it “ 'y wonder that there is renewed confidence in commercial circles? 1y it any wonder that the war has been relegated to Europe, where it properly belongs?—Macon Daily N :ws. THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, MONDAY, SEP. 27. 1915 Workers In Jacksonville ker Dixie Short-Route As the general representatives of the Short-Route Dixie High way, with authority to act as di rect sponsers for Fitzgerald, Messrs. W. R. Bowen, A. H. Denmark, J. E. Turner, Isidor Gelders and Mayor D. W. Pzaulk, left at 10 o'clock this morning for Jacksonyille, where temorrow the Dixie Highway Commission will convene with the idea in view cof selecling the cfficial routes. - The party is making the trip ‘via auto, and expect o cover the {143 miles, with stops at Ocilla, Donglas and Wayeross, by 5 p. m. [ On the back of the head zuto i 3 a well painted poster showing the Short-Routz Dixie Highway from Chattanooga to Jackson ville, with Fitzgerald looming up as the principle point on the route. This appears to be as it should be, since [itzgerald has no real rivals in South Georgia. The party exnpects to return Wednesday. 300 Atlanta Greeks May Enlist Atlanta, Sept. 25 .—The minute Greece becomes involved in the European conflagration, an even tuality which seems more and more likely, from 300 to 400 weil known Atlanta Greeks will leave their business here and seek for transportation to join their colors. There are in Atlanta more than 500 Greeks reservists of various classes. When the Balkan trou bles arose, more than 100 Atlan tians went, some of whom have since returned, and the present situation if Greece gets mixed up in it would probably mean a call for them all.

Good Groceries at Wholesale Prices Winter Signs | In Atlanta Atlanta,- Sept. 23.—The coo weather all came in a bunch to Atlanta yesterday, and Peachtrce witnessed an almost miraculous transformation in less than twenty four hours, from: Palm Beach and straw hats, to winter cloths and even overcoats. The men have all put away their summer togs, and the ladies, who have been wearing heavy furs and high top boots dur ing July and August are expected to appear soon in their regulationwin ter costumes, with low neck and short sleeves, and thin silk stockings with patent leather pumps. When this happens everybody wili know that the summer is really over. Not Like King Solemon Atlanta, Sept. 25.—When the queen of Sheba wanted to make an impression on the wise law giver Solomon, she showed him her knee, according to Biblieal legend. The same method was übout to be undertaken in Judge George L. Rell’s division of the superior court yesterday by pret ty Mrs. Myrtle Langstor, when the judge hastily bid her desist. Of course there was a reason for the preposed display of the shapely limb—at least the lawyer who was representing Mrs. Lanston figured that it ought to be in the testimony. She was suing for alimony, and al]egedi that her husband at various times had beaten her and‘ “thrown her around like a ragl doll. | The defendant denied the cruel ty charges in toto, while she in s:sted that the severe bruise on her knee, inflicted she said, when the doctor had thrown her out of bed, was still there to prove it. But how to get the proof be fore the court was the thing that puzzled the young lawyer. He paced the floor with a troubled expression, ran his fingers through his hair, and finally wheeling about determinedily to ward his fair client, he leaned against a table for support, and stammered out. “Er—or—Mrs. Langston would you er—er—er—object to er—er showing the er—er—bruise to the court?”’ : The witness blushed but pre pared to comply. Before she had gone far, how ever, the judge interfered by throwing up his hands and es claimiing. ‘‘No, no, I wouldn’t embarrass her that way. I will take her word for it.”’ Lawyers And Stenographer Indicted Atlanta, Sept. 25.—True bills charging blackmail have been found against J'i*dge R. R. Jack son, an attorney, Stella B. Griffin, a stenographer, and C. 0. Gar ret. George B. Rauch is the prosecutor. The Grifiln woman, who has been held in jail, swore out a bail trover against Rauch for the recovery of an alleged draft which she claimed he had given her for ‘‘love balm.” Rauch claims he was the victim of a frame-up. .

Commissioner Price calls at tention to the fact that while the department is persistently urging farmers all over Georgia to raise their own wheat, and eat home made flour, it is at the same time seeking to protect all the people of Georgia against bleached flour, at least te the extent of let ting them know just what they are eating. Under this ruling every barrel, sack or package of flour coffered for sale in Georgia which is bleached by any process or arti ficially matured, must hLave stamped upen the package in %capital letters of solid type rot less than one inch in height the word “‘BLEACHED”. Follow ing this word in smaller tyvpe, if ;de:ircd. must be given the pro cess o that the statement on the package must read either “‘BLEACHED, Electrically”’, or “BLEACHED, by Chlorine’’. Manufacturers and dealers in flour were given by the Depart ment a liberal extension of time for conforming to thislaw. That time expires October Ist. The Department will grant no further extension and will use every possible effort to see that the law is obeyed to the letter.

Atlanta, Sept. 18 —Senater Hoke ESmith is coming South within the inext couple of weeks, it'is announc fed from Washington, to make a 'series of speeches for the purpose of }solidifying sentiment on the ques ‘;tion of demanding a cessation of the | British cotton blockade. ! Backed by what he believes the funiversal sentiment in the South to Ebe, it is stated that he will returnto | Washington for the winter session Irea(}y to push a retaliatory resolu tion through congdress as soon as it ‘convenes. | The situation with regard to cot 'ton has been meterially strengthen ied. it is believed, by the attitude of :tlle Middle Western meat producers -and packers over the recent seizure by England and confiscation of sev feral million dollars’ worth of meat, ‘destined for Denmark and other 'neutral countries. The meat people and Southern ‘cotton growers, it is believed, will combine to urde upon their repre ~sentatives in congress and upon the ;administraticn some action that ‘will force Great Britain to change lher attitude. l NOTICE Georcia—BEen HiL Counry.
