GOVERNMENT IN CONTROL
BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS.


Written for The Star and the Chicago Recsfd-
Herald.
Finland Is a record-bre aker. Since the
emancipation of that country from Rus
sian rule since it was granted autonomy
two years ago, it has acted promptly and
emphatically upon great social problems.
AS soon as the power was conferred upon
them the people adopted universal suf>
frage and made women equal to men In
all respects in the body polite. There is
no distinction of sex whatever. woman
may hold any Office in Finland except
one-that of governor general, which is
filled by the appointment of the car, for
it is the only remaining link between the
autocracy and the democracy. A woman
may be a policeman o. judge. or the
mayor of a town. and there are thirty
two women in the parliament. where they
have shown a remarkable amount of
activity and ability and determination in
the enactment of radical legislation They
have proposed and carried through sew
eral reform measures of the very greatest
Importance. Fitty-six per cent of the
votes were cast by women at the first ma
tional election. and only ~ per cent by
men. and 1t Is probable that they will have
larger number of representatives. in the
of their voting strength. There are POO
members of that body at present, and
only thi-ty-two of them are women.
If the first duma had adopted the policy
of the Finnish parliament there might have
been different situation in the Russian
empire today. If it had spent its time
in practical legislation to correct the
abuses that exist and to take advanta ge
of the concessions made by the car in
the constitution and the manifesto of 1905
Russia might today have constitutional
and a parliamentary government But in
stead of devoting themselves to legislation
the members of the duma wasted their
time in talk. and endeavored to excite the
passions of the people by attacking the
policy and the motives of the ministers
They had the right and the opportunity
to limit the power and restrict the policy
of the ministers, but instead of exercising
it in a practical way they made them tar
gets for abuse.
Although the Finnish parliament is con-
trolled by the constitutional democrats
who also had majority in the Russian
duma. the program of that body has been
to accomplish much legislation as pos
sible for the benefit of the people and to
demonstrate to the car and the world
that Finland is capable of self-govern-
ment.

Compulsory Total Abstinence.

The most recent act of general interest
Is law passed by an almost unanimous
vote totally abolishng the liquor traffic
1t closes every saloon, every dstillery
every brewery in Finland 1t prohibits
the use as we'll as the sale of beer. wine
and spirituous liquors of every kind 1t
applies to private individuals as we'll as
to hotels and restaurants. and under a
heavy penalty forbids the importation or
the use. or even the possession, of dis
titled and malt liquors. 1t even forbids
the use of wine at communion service in
the churches. and the sale of liquor for
medicinal purposes is placed under the
same restrictions and regulations as the
sale of poisons. Spirits used for mechani-
cal purposes must be so doctored upon
their importation into the country that
they cannot be used for beverage
The police are given unprecedented
power. They have the right to search
private dwellings, upon information that
liquor is concealed there or is in the pos
session of the occupants. The penalties
are very severe. The minimum is a fine of
$50 and the maximum is penal servitude
for three years.
No provision is made to indemnify dis
tillers, brewers. rectifiers dealers or pri
vate individuals whose property may be
confiscated or rendered useless by the
law. Every distillery must close forever.
and the loss upon the investment falls
upon the owner without any indemntica-
tion whatever from the government.

Cooperating With Stolypin.

The present duma seems to be taking d
more moderate course than it's prede-
cessor, and is devoting itself to practical
work rather than incendiary discussion.
A majority of the members seem to be
willing to enact legislation to carry out
the many reforms that have already been
begun by Premier Stolypin. but we shall
have definite information on that subject
of the constitutional party. arrives in this
country. He sailed for New York Il few
days ago. and will spend the recess of the
duma curing in the principal cities. Prof.
Mlukoff spent n winter in Chicago sew
eral years ago as one of the lecturers I'M
der the Crane foundation in the tIniver-
sity of Chicago. He is a man of great
tons and earnest self crificing pa
triotisn, although he is more of an ideal
list than a practical constructive legisla-
tor. Prof. Milukoff is one of the few men
In Russia who enjoy the resp CT and con-
fidenCe of the autocracy well as the
revolutionaries.
Premier Stolypin has taken advantage
Of that provision of the new constitution
which allows the ministry of Russia to
initiate new measures in the recess of
the duma to be ratified when that body
next assemblies. and he has accomplished
a great deal of practical work in the way
of reform. He has fought the revolu-
tionists with unrelenting severity. He has
sent thousands to prison and to Siberia,
and has condemned hundreds to death,
including several members of the previous
duma, and 119 of 'sle members of the first
duma, who signed what is known as the
Viborg mt.iifesto, denouncinS the ear
and the ministry. and accusing them of
crimes against the people, are now under

Law Will Be Vetoed.

This is the first law ever passed by a
national Legislature prohibiting the use
Of Intoxicating drinks, and in that re-
spect Finland has broken the record
and has established Il precedent for
older nations to follow. 1t is unfortu-
nate. however. that the law is So radi-
cal and drastic, because it will be We
toeG by the czar. and the effort will be
wasted. The grounds for the veto will
be it's interference with personal rights
and the failure to indemnify persons
who suffer loss of property. The meas
ure Is now in the hands of the car
and his veto may be expected at apy
time. If the measure had been modified
so as to prohibit the manufacture and
sale of strong drinks. with a fair in
demnity to those whose capital is in
vested in that business, and under or
binary regulations. with penalties less
severe. Nicholas ii undoubtedly would
curse under which the peasants of Fin
land have been living for generations
would have been removed
The most influential men in Finland
and the wisest advisers of the czar
said to have convinced MIN that
the provision which prohibits the use
of wine in private houses ana that
should not be approved. on the other
hand. the leaders of the consti. utional
party are earnest in their opposition to
the right of search. because that pro-
vision conflicts directly with one of the
most sacred. fundamental principles
that they have been fighting for 1t
naturally follows that If the police are
allowed to invade domicile to search
for liquor they will be given similar
authority to search for other things
