Martens expresses the conviction that the sec
ond Russian parliament is absolutely unfit 10
work successfully for the benefit OF the Russian
nation and cannot advance the nation in the
direction OF "a constitutional system of govern

ingly low. and it's solo apparent object is 10
overthrow tho government by any means in its
power No single member. judging by the
speeches delivered. appears 10 have the welfare

THE REAL REASON

When the matter is sifted to real facts,
how many of those people who are max
ing a vigorous protest against the elimi-
nation Of that motto from the gold coins,
care fig whether it is there or not !?
Some of them do, no doubt. but we do not
believe it makes particle Of difference to
the majority of them. 1t will be observ-
ed that many who are making the loud
est protests are those who have been
affected by the crusades inaugurated by
President Roosevelt against graft, OPP
preston, discrimination, imitation of
values and kindred evils that have be-
come dominant. The President is thor
oughly disliked by these people and in
sasmuch as they believe a protest against
the removal of the motto would strike q
popular chord in the hearts Of the pub
lie, such protest, long. loud and Wig.
orous. was made in hopes of lessening the
Presidents popularity and thereby lessen.
ing the possibility of his again becom-
ing candidate. It can be said without
fear of contradiction that those whose
methods have been questioned, exposed
and condemned will allow to pass no
opportunity to attempt to place Mr..
Roosevelt in bad repute with the
people no matter what that oppor-
tunity may be.
