RUSSIA MERITS HER DEFEAT.

Beaten in every battle and often
forced to retreat IN hurry and panic,
her two great squadrons scattered and
practically wiped off the sea as a fight
ing unit, her land forces divided and
surrounded by superior numbers,
Russia today, after six months of war,
is in one OF the worst predicaments
that ever a modern white race was
placed in.
The humiliating and disastrous de-
feats which Russia has sustained at
the hands of Japan can not be altribu-
ted wholly or chiefly to lack of courage
of the common soldier
Although not inspired by the zeal
and devotion that characteriz the Jap,
every battle on sea and land has wit
messed many heroic deed and much
fierce and stout. resistance among the
Russian rank and file
The disgrace of Russia is due
mainly to her bad and inhuman gov
eminent.
The common people have been op-
pressed and their interests neglected.
A brutal and Ignorant class IF nobility
and favorites have been exalted and
enriched The grossest errors and
stupidity which other European ma
tions created and rose from as they
emerged from the dark ages have
been perpetua!ed in Russia.
Taxes have been gathered in an
extortionate manner and a large per
cent of the proceeds misappropriated
for the luxury of worthless and
criminal mobiles. There are no educa =.
tional or charitable institutions
in Russia adequate for the needs of
the people.
Farmers and other wokringmen have
been the victims rather than the
beneficiaries of the laws. There is no
Just proportion between punishment
and the crime, no certainty of condi-
tions, no rights guaranteed to the
poor which the powerful are bound to
respect.
The czar rules with a mailed hand
and has treated his common subjects
as beasts of burden or sources from
which he may collect the revenues
which he and his nobility squander.
The disasters which have overtaken
Russia are just retribution.
A final and overwhelming defeat
would do no harm to Chris ianity and
civilization nor cause loss of prestige
to the white races in general The
progress of war in the Orient sim ply
shows the worst representatives of the
white races are inferior to the most
enIig htened of the brown or yellow
races.
