THE INEVITABLE IN RUSSIA.

Whatever else happens in Russia
the inevitable is sure to happen, and
it is inevitable that change shall come
1t is also inevitable that any change
is for the better, because nothing
could be worse than the combined pO-
Iitical and industrial despOtism which
heretofore has ruled and cursed the
lives OF the enc hundred and forty
millions OF Russian tOilers-
All races OF men have passed from
the later stages Of barbarism into CT
viIizatiOn through paths made historic
by unutterable slaughter. The Jews
have suffered in Russia as have no
others. but the Jews themselves came
into the realization Of their ancient
nationality through Canaanitish
slaughter more inhuman than any
thing which has yet occurred in Rus
sia
The AnglO-SaXOn natiOnaIities made
a record OF blood and fire at the hour
Of their birth and through the long
centuries Of their early training which
the Muscovite has not yet approach
ed in the cruelty and outrage Of his
current barbarities.
The record can be followed round
the earth and among all races Of men
In ones recOil from the butchery OF
Russia he should remember ''the pit
whence he is digged. for whoever he
is his own ancestry in a similar stage
OF civic advance did ali that Russia
has done and even more It is newt
able that change should come It IS
historic that change can come to bar
barian communities only by the shock
Of war. Blessed are the barbarians
whose wars are fraught with the birth

BORDERLAND.


And have you been to BoTderiand?
Its country lies on either hand
Beyond the river I-fOrgets
One crosses by a single stone
So narrow one must pass alone,
And all about its waters fret
The laughing river I-forget.
Beneath the trees Of BOrderland
One seems to know and understand,
Beside the river I-forget,
All languages Of men and birds;
And all the sweet, unspoAen words
One ever missed are murmured yet
By that sweet river I-forget-
One hears there many things afar
From cities where strange peoples are,
Beyond the river I forget;
And strange things are in the air,
But what they are one does not care,
For hope lies sleeping and regret
Beside the river I-forget-
Some day together hand in hand
III take you there to Borderland,
Beyond the river I-fOrget;
Some day when all our dreams come
true,
One kiss for me and one for you,
Wen watch the red sun sink and set
Across the river I-fOrget-

WHICH SHALL RULE?

Anent the refusal Of H H Rogers,
the Standard Oil magnate, to answer
questions put by Attorney General
Hadley Of Missouri. the Kansas City
Star has a pertinent editorial showing
the defiant attitude OF this gigantic
trust. which is as follows:
TT was only a very short time ago
that an authoritative forecast of the
forthcoming report Of the investiga-
ton Of Standard Oil by the bureau Of
corporations showed that the officials
OF this usurping combination had de-
clared in effect that Standard OIL was
bigger than the United States govern
ment and that Rockefeller was strong
er than President Roosevelt. Again
and again the investigators. coming
in contact with the big men OF the
trust. met with this spirit, II not al
ways with this bald expression OF It
Defiance and contempt were given In
return for persistence. Quiet threats
that public places. even as high as
seats in the cabinet, would be vacated
by orders OF Standard Oil if the wishes
Of the trust we're crossed were made
to the agents OF the United States gov
ernment-
The attitude Of the witnesses in
the Standard Oil proceedings brought
BY Missouri give color to this forecast
These Witnesses and the lawyers
prompting them assumed, BY their
manner that they had nothing to fear
from the laws or the people. who are

Anent the fight between the saloon
and anti-salOOn forces in Kansas City
there has been considerable damn
ing, and biting OF the chains Of the
prOhibitOrF law by the saloon faction
Mayor ". W. Rose seems to be the
chief sinner in cursing the law under
which he was elected, because Gov
ernor HOch, through Attorney Gener-
al Coleman, has instituted custer pro
ceedings against his highness, the
mayor Of Kansas City
The Rev John c Lynn, a Presby-
terian preacher, president OF the Civic
league in Kansas City, Kan. testified
last Friday before H G. Larrimer,
special commissioner to take the tes-
timOny in the custer proceedings, that
Mayor W W Rose made the follow
ing statement to him on Nay 6, 1905:
Damn the law. God could not
enforce the prohibition law in Kan
sas and Jesus Christ would not"
In the light of this language. it
would seem that the contention Of the
prosecution is quite true, that Mayor
Rose has refused to enforce the city
ordinances and state law against the
sale Of liquor.
In his testimony, Rev. Lynn told
how he and the Rev. John A MOtter,
as a committee from the Civic league
visited Mayor Rose in an endeaYOr
to induce him to close the Joints"
Rev. Vernon J. Rose, now chief Of
police in Kansas City under his rela-
tive, but formerly a minister Of the
gospel, once being called to GoOdland
to assist in a revival" was present
during the visit Of the Civic league
committee with the mayor.
In the presence Of Mayor Rose, -
said Rev. Lynn, his chief OF police,
Vernon J. Rose, told US that no man
would dare start or operate a Joint in
Kansas City, Kan, without the con-
sent Of the officials. This same chief
Of police told me that if any man dare
start a joint without his consent he
would be arrested and prosecuted I
called the attention Of Mayor Rose to
the city ordinances and state laws
against the sale of liquor and told him
that since he had taken an oath to
enforce the laws it was his duty to

HEARSTs a.YINDICATION.s

in a real sense Of the word" says
the Topeka Capital, Hearst seems to
have been successful after all in his

His campaign was made on two is
sues: Down with Boss Murphy and

elected and counted out and Mayor
Mcclellan has been sworn in as may

Now Mayor Mcclellan has placed

mates that it viii bring a saving to
New York Of nearly half a million
dollars a year. Not only has the may
or come over to the Hearst platform
on public ownership, but he has turn
ed out the Tammany officers in his ad-
ministratiOn and made up the new list
without regard to the wishes Of Boss
Murphy.
This is a victory for public sentiment
and really a triumph for Hearst, who
brought it about by his remarkable
campaign.
THE mayors radical policy is ap-
proved not only by Hearst support

like, but by conservatives and repUbIf-
