Rebellion Rife in Russia.

The Pan -Slavists are gaining the
upper hand in Russia, and the position
of SazanofT, the Russian foreign sec
retary, is unquestionably undermined.
The Polish Socialist party is dis
playing activity with view to or
ganizing a revolution in Russian Po-
land as soon as Russia begins to III
terfere in the Balkan war. an emer-
gency which the Socialists believe to
be inevitable.
The Socialists appear to have made
common cause with a secret commit
tee of the Polish revolutionary party.
Several million copies OF two revolu-
tionary manifestoes have been circula.-
cd among the population. One of the
manifestoes summons the population to
meet with sympathy the enemy of Rus
sia as soon as she gets into war. This
means. of course, that Austria should
be welcomed in Russian Poland and
supported by national Polish rising.
The Socialist party in Galicia (Aus-
tria) is equally busy in this organiza-
ton. and the Austrian police are taking
great trouble in. suppressing it The
second manifesto summons the Labor
party. in case of a Russian war. to
make preparations for the destruction
of the railways and telegraphs. deser-
ton of soldiers, and for support Of the
enemy's operations.
In Vienna the isolation of the war
is considered possible only if Turkey
ultimately wins. The position of
Sazonoff (the Russian Foreign Minis
teri seems to be shaken, which would
mean the Pan-Slavist party in Russia
gaining the upperhand
Russia, as we'll as Austria. has made
war preparations. but Austria. for the
moment, has no aggressive intentions.
just like Russia has not. Interference
in the war by Austria inevitably would
cause similar action by other powers
if the victorious allies should mean to
attack Constantinople.

New York's Auto Smoke" Evil.

Ono New York magistrate imposed
nineteen SIo fines in one day on chauf-
feurs who let their automobiles smoke.
The New York Sun, in discussing the
action. says that months ago. after
much effort. the smoke clause was add
ed to the automobile law. The police
became active and. after many arrests,
the, nuisance disappeared. But as vigi-
lance relaxed. lazy or incompetent
chaufeurs, as the Sun calls them. be-
gan to break the law. and the general
condition became such as to cause more
arrests. The sanitary squad of the
force had the matter particularly in
charge, but it has been reduced in
numbers and had to relax its efforts in
this particular, its vigilance being
needed to enforce other health laws
The traffic policemen find themselves
busy with their duties: therefore, the
Sun calls for the bicycle or motorcycle
force to handle the auto-smoke nuis-
ance. The air of the streets where
traffic is heavy. to quote the Sun, is
continually filled with the stencil of the
smoke Damage is done to the clothing
of pedestrians and personal discomfort
brought on them. If there were the
slightest necessity for it one might put
up with it as sacrifice in good
cause But there is none. 1t comes
about simply because the chauffeur fails
to close the vent cock. and so wastes
excess oil in the shape of smoke. 1t is
everything that is unpleasant and poi
sonous in the air, and 1t is detrimental
and offensive.
Washington. which, for a city of its
size, owns. pro rata, the greatest num-
Der of motor vehicles, it must be ad-
mitted, is singularly free from this evil.
though, of course, it appears now and
then, and neutrality-suspicious. be
unavoidable.

What the Cardinal Meant.

Cardinal Gibbons, in his election eve
sermon, exhorted his hearers to take
warm interest in the political welfare
Of their country. There was no COM
mand to go to the polls; only ito be
earnest about the welfare of the coun-
Try" To most people, being earnest
about the welfare of the country means
voting at the primaries and on election
day. And, in fact. it is undoubtedly
true that most qualified voters who do
not vote fail to do so because of
apathy and lack of interest in the well
fare OF the community.
But there are people who refrain
from voting on account OF principle.
One group is made up of serious men
deeply interested in the welfare OF the
country, and perhaps very active in So
cial or other work that is helpful to
many, but who do not vote becaus;
they are too conscientious to do s
without feeling certain what the rss'.i
of their vote will be- They are in T.
midst OF their work. unable to s
the political situation. and they .,cl
that the effect of voting under thos.
circumstances might be tine exact con-
trary Of what they desire.
There is another smaller group. also
deeply interested in the welfare of the
country and in economic and political
conditions, who do not vote because
they are disillusioned about politics
They believe that by some trickery on
the part of the elected representatives
Of the people the people in reality are
not represented. or tfat those of the
people are not represented who need to
be so the most. So these people op-
pose voting. though they seek some
other way of serving their fellow-men.
What these men should do is to urge
Our lawmakers and statesmen to do so
well politically that their confidence in
the vote will be restored

The Game Hunting Problem.

The opening of the hunting season
was auspicious in many particulars.
There was plenty of game to be shot
at. Also plenty Of hunters. More
game was shot than hunters. ~. a
large number of the latter were sel.; to
hospitals. Several were killed. Anc
the season is still Young. A large num-
Der of amateurs should be allowed to
hunt with nothing more deadly than a
fve-inch bean-blower. The majority
of the cunning accidents are due al
most entirely to carelessness> in handling
guns. Some hunters have triggers
caught in bushes; others trip and fire
guns by mistake; a few accidentally
shoot them off while climbing fences ;
several get into trouble loading. while
the usual number let drive at the sup
posed game and bring down some
fellow-hunter. There is no sport in
stopping or dodging leaden pellets. and
yet that is the chance one must take in
the woods these days. when the men,
