BOLSHEVIK FORCES BEING ROUTED.
The weakening of the Bolshevik forces in Russia means much for
the world at large, as well as for that unfortunate country.
Lenine's control of Russia has not resulted in bringing about better
conditions, hut a worse state of affairs, lie has ignored all the princi
ples essential to a just government and the advancement of a < *'fust
ian civilization. . , , -i

prejudices of millions of peasants, who had never known what liberty
was until the fall of the monarchy. .
These peasants, as ignorant as the negro in the south .hiring slavery
had little conception of liberty and its responsibilities, and were,
therefore, easily led and deceived by a man who was shrewd and de
void of all the instincts of a great man and patriot

TIME TO THINK SERIOUSLY.
II is <-dtint: lime for all the people of the United States who believe
| n t , stabl* government and protection to homes to wake up to the
realization of Ihe dangers confronting us through anarchistic activi
ties. The man who continues to curse his government and kick at ev
erything is helping to spread and encourage crime and anarchy and
destroy the very foundations that preserve our. rights and liberties as
a nation. It it too serious a matter to regard lightly, and tin* man who
studies the trend of things is not acting well his part in life’s drama
government and bring on a condition of affairs that thoughtful men

shudder to contemplate.
THE CASE OF THE SENATE.
> (The New York Evening Post.)
Senator Underwood, the other day. asserted that the senate had ne*
come the most ridiculous legislative body in tlie world, unable to stop
talking and to get to business. He added that everybody knew that
the Interminable d<bat sin the * •* <id ■ - -
Ah. but perhaps il alters beliefs, and that is the main thing. A veteran
senator from the west, himself not given to much speaking, once de
clared that he had heard several eloquent and reasoned speeches in
the senate which had changed his convictions, blit he thanked Clod
that he had never heard one that changed Ids vote. Senatorial ora
-lorv. Senator Underwood should have remembered, is, like beauty, its
own excuse for being.
(Querulous outsiders complain of Hie long speeches in the senate.
One has just been delivered of 40.000 words—a suml l book in itself.
Who, it is unthinkingly asked, pays any attention to such a porten
tous document .’ other senators do not. They flee from the presence of
the droning speaker. The galleries fall asleep under the soothing drip
of words, only waking every hour or so to applaud the senator’s tear
ful confession that iiis heart heats warmly for his native land. But all
this is apart from the great design and effect of speeches in the senate.
They arc intended, not to kill wpponnts. but to kill time. Their pur
pose is not to expedite the business io hand, hut to give the senate ab
solutely nothing !<> think of so t! at theleaders can go off and settle
the question how the business is finally to he dispatched. So that w t
ought tn think of the senators who submit a few remarks for hours on
end. not as obstructors and nuisances, but as heroic figures rising to
the full height of a painful public duty.
Nor must it he forgotten that they are also discharging a private
duty. They have an honorable sense of obligation, these longwindod
senators, to the faithful and laborious men who write their speeches
for them. Consider the ease of a senator’s private secretary. It is he.
most often, who accumulates the vast mass *>f material- unsifted sta
tistics. quotations from the Fathers, extracts from the country news
papers. citations from former speeches, re-readings from the docu
ments that have been laid Me fore the setnae a thousand times.
It seems now that the coal strike is inevitable unless the govern
ment can prevent it.
