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 11 is power Inis been great because he appealed to the ignorance and 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 It means much for the world that Bolshevik ideas and beliens should he crushed, for they endanger progress, destroy morals and threaten all the higher and nobler ideals which have been worth so much to 1 It means more to Russia, if its 170.000.000 of Peo ple can formulate a sane and sound government, founded on demo cratic principles, with the ability to assimilate these principles and work out their own destiny.

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.

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.
