The Russian AnachrOniSm.

That strangest of anachronisms-
absolutism of the twentieth century
in a Caucasian country-persists in
Russia despite the multiplied indi-
cations and prophecies ever since
the time of the great Catherine that
the Slav must one day give the world
its greatest democracy. Recently
contemplation of Russian phases is
invited by the reports that there is
to be a change at the head of the
state; that the Car viii abdicate, a
regent be named, the douma be sent
home, and absQlutism resume I'M
questioned sway.
The reports, doubtless are sensa-
tional and unjustifed. There is
small reason why car should alb
dictate. He is to the Russian state
little more than Mrs. Eddy is to the
Christian Science cult-indeed, rath-
er less. Other men and brains direct
and govern. Nicholas, dominated as
he was for many years by Pobiedon-
ostseff, might easily be ready to
abdicate when he found himself
alone 10 face the problems of his
| position. But that he would be al
lowed to do so is utterly unlikely.
The western world, perhaps. ex-
poets too much of Russia. 1t will be
regenerated when it earns regen-
Grafton. Where has it developed a
worthy leader toward better things ?
Tolstoy? \ dreamer of dreams.
But among men of action, the world
has lately been disgusted with
GapOn and his vices, with Gorky and
his reckiessness of conventions. The
douma afforded opportunity, but has
not brought forth a great man.
When Russia can produce a Wash
ington, a Cromwell, a Cavour. a
DantOn, it will be ready TO begin
progress toward the light.
The era of the Russo-Japanese
war seemed likely to open the doors,
10 let in the light, to inaugurate the
new era. 1t has failed to do so.
Apparently, Russia is to wait for
another epOchal upheaval of some
sort. The douma has accomplished
little; it viii probably be dissolved,
and the mandate that called il into
being will be cancelled. Reactionism
viii rule Russia, and reactionism
will have the moral support of every
creditor of Russia, because of the
uncertainty whether progressivism
would pay to repudiate it. 1t prom
ises to be long before Russia turns
its face to view the dawn of its
new day. It's great opportunity has
passed.

BIG CHIEF RIDING

making the ride on his bronchO, which

Social Loot.

4 sickening scramble in Boston to
buy furniture used by the Prince of
Wales in a hotel.
The ruin of a caterer in New York
by the theft of the silver with which
he served Prince Henry and a thous-
and guests at the launching of the
Meteor
The sneak-thieving at jamestown
of the toilet articles belonging 20
the Duke of Abruzzi by men and
women who had accepted the own
er's hospitality.
These three instances of self-de-
grading title-wOrship on the part
of feIlow-citizens come 90 mind. In
every case the special interest at
tached to any article involved is the
holders condemnation. If he owned
the chair in which the prince sat-
he was sycophant. If he exhibited
n fork used at Prince Henry's
luncheon he was a confessed thief.
And if he shall ever display pair of
chat italian dukes brushes" he will
write himself down not only a
sneak-thief but an migrate.
America cannot recall the self-re-
spect she sacrificed in the two older
instances. Perhaps she cannot even
now restore his own TO the Duke of
Abruzzi. But she can make plain
her disgust whenever any of the
social loot is exhibited.

lieves it to be indispensable. But
it is not enough. For years several
certain. railroads have. been publish
ing detailed reports of their bust
ness. What layman could make head
or tail of them? Great folios in
form, made up by the hundred pages
of tables and totals, intricate and
technical as the taking of the longi-
tude, they kept the general public
and the average stakeholder as ig-
norant of the things he wanted to
know as though no reports had been
made.
With the freer discussion of com
pany business for which our New
York contemporary contends, there
must come also these several things:
Less investing in business of which
the shareholder is altogether ignor-
ant; more watchfulness over the
management of his investments; en-
enlargement of newspaper reports
of directors meetings.; the develop
ment of financial reporting; annual
statements designed specially for
the reader who lacks technical train
ing. Otherwise publicity will be
mere fireworks.

About Taking a dare. ="

The fool who never takes a dare
has doomed into newspaper promi-
hence again. This time it is a young
woman. She was visiting in Belle
vile, n. J., and CHANGED 20 be pres
ent at the preparation for balloon
ascension. When some equally
idiotic companion dared her to go
up in place of the aeronaut, she ere
torted firmly" we are told, that she
didn't take dares, and, having per-
suaded the aeronaut, who was fool
number three, she assembled some
1900 feet, got hold of the parachute,
and reached the earth in safety.
The denouement spoils the point of
the story little. for by all the laws
of common sense, the girl should
have been killed.
1t is sometimes interesting to con-
lecture how far the won't take a
dare folly would be carried by it's
perpetrators. 1t is probably a silly
falsehood in most cases. Suppose
the girl of the Belleville episode had
been dared to drink prussic acid, OF
fire a loaded revolver against her
temples; she must either have ae-
knOwledged herself a liar or have
committed suicide. Reduce this sort
Of thing 10 its primal terms and
you find defeat at both ends.

A Chance to Help.

Statues in the National Capital
are the subject of the following
kind of comment in the Chicago
Tribune:
In his speech at the unwilling OF the
Mcclellan statue. the President noted
the saying that some modern statuary
OF a memorial type added a new terror
TO death. He FASTENED to add that the
Mcclellan statue did not fall under that
designation. Perhaps that is true, yet
il the published photographs Of the
work give a fair idea OF its appearance.
the statue is not likely TO create any
great enthusiasm in artistic circles The
horse looks as IL he were drawing a
heavy load up a hill. and while the pose
OF the rider is easier. the effect is
medtative rather than martial The
city of Washington is so full Of bad
statues however, that one more Will
II is the sentiment rather than the
statue which counts.
The State which Chicago dominates
is represented at the National
Capital by twenty-five Congressman.
Included i'm the number are one of
the leaders of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House If the Chron-
icle has more than a passing
interest in this subject, it can help
prevent the erection of any more
bad statues by impressing this
delegation with the need for a ma
tional art commission. Once that
commission is obtained the District
will be quick to acknowledge it's
debt to Illinois.

Hughes as a Producer.

discovering much 10 interest them
Of late in Governor Charles E.
Hughes, Of New York. The gov
ernor has been accused Of being no
politician, but that will be forgiven
by most people, in view of his stay
ing quality and his tendency to get
what he sets out to secure.
The governor was supposed to
have been hopelessly downed in the
matter of the public utilities bill,
but he announced his purpose to APP
peal to the people, and to make war
all along the line. AS n result, the
bill has been passed. Now the gov
ernor has turned to reapportion-
ment and the mayoralty recount bill,
and just as the time when the com
bination in opposition to him, in
the senate, imagined that it had him
under control and the recount bill
sidetracked, he sent a special mes
sage to the upper chamber recalling
this measure to attention and de-
handing action on it. 1t isn't clear

And English spelling is reformed.
And we have universal peace.
And politicians are all honest
And there really are no trusts.
And coal costs only fifty cents a ton.

And the city pays taxes to the citizen.
And all men promptly pay their debts.
And the steam trains and electric cars

And the Cape Cod Canal project is for

And men get home before 10 o'clock at
night, invariably sober.
And school children really love their

And the churches are regularly crowded.

Without metre.

that he is going to run his end of

To the Firth-Stirling Steel Company,

contract for the major portion Of a
large amount of shells to be made for
the Navy Department. The Washing
ton company was the lowest bidder in
three different classes
For $4,000 six-inch IOO-pound shells
they named a figure of $11.75 each; for
so eight-inch 10O-pound target shells
they quoted so, which is considerably
lower than the nearest bidder. They
also quoted a safely low price for 500
thirteen-inch l00-pound target shells.
