Woes of the Russian Press

Among the prisoners liberated by
the czar's manifesto issued on the
occasion of the tercentenary of the
Romanov dynasty were number OF
newspaper and magazine writer's.
They had been Imprisoned for no
other crime than that of exercising
the right of free press so loudly pro-
claimed by Nicholas II on October
IT, 1905. The freedom of the press,
as we'll as the other freedoms" so
reluctantly granted to the Russian
people after a bloody struggle which
eliminated in the convocation of the
Duma, has proved to those seeking
to lift Russia out of her abyss of
ignorance and darkness a new source
of suffering and torture. The laws
governing the press were repealed
and in their stead some temporary
rules" introduced, placing the edit
ors and publishers at the mercy of
the governors and gradOnat-chalniks
(city chiefs) who are empowered to
subject them to q fine of 500 rubles
or to Imprisonment not to exceed
three months for every article they
consider anti-governmental or which
in general does not meet with their
enlightened approval. The censor
ship, although officially abolished,
still exists. Many an editor, not
wishing to risk his liberty or to pay
a heavy fine, submits his copy" to
specially designated chinovniks for
20. X" But such censorship, while
gaining for him immunity from the
governor, does not save him from
Indictment and a prison term IL the
procurator or the committee on af-
fairs of the press later finds some
matter in his publica-
tion. This precarious position of the
Russian press. this constant fear of
fine and imprisonment, has lasted
since November "a, 1905, and the
Russian government is apparently in
no haste to enact laws which would
put 1t on more secure footing

Cold Bread and Beef.

Cold Bread and Beef.
Some very interesting statistics
have recently been published by the
labor department of the British
Board of Trade. They deal with the
value of the sovereign in terms of
the necessaries of life. Twenty shil-
lings have of themselves no actual
value. What they have is statutory
value. You may go to the Bank of
England and compel the authorities
to give you five sovereigns for a five
pound note, but, if you were on the
point of starvation, you could not go
to a bakers and compel him to give
you loaf of bread for one of the
soverigns or for the whole of them.
A sovereign must contain a certain
amount of gold ana shilling a GER
tain amount of silver, but there is no
fixed standard whereby a sovereign
can be expressed in terms of labor
or commodities. AS demand is being
made for the definition of the sover-
eign in terms of labor, and this is
what is called the minimum wage;
but no one has yet proposed to define
its value in terms of bread or beef
Thus we see how it can fairly be
said that the value of a sovereign
fluctuates in terms of those things
without which the sovereign would
have no value at all, namely, labor
and the necessities of life.
The statistics begin with 1895 and
are brought down to 1912. For pur-
pose of comparison, the purchasing
power of a sovereign in the first
named year is taken as a basis, and
this coin is supposed then to have
been aqual to 20 shillings' worth of
the necessities of life. Last year the
purchasing power of the sovereign
was only equal t0 les Sd as COM
pared with its purchasing power In
1895. The decrease has been near
ly steady. There was a slight ap-
probation in the purchasing power
of this coin in 1904, but the next
year it dropped back again to what
it was in 1903; it rose again in 1906
to what it was in 1904, but dropped
again the next year to a figure lower
than where it had stood at in any
previous years, when there was a
slight upward tendency; then it made
a marked fall; then a slight rise;
but in 1912 it reached the lowest
level ever attained.
Another table gives a comparison
of prices of sundry staple articles be-
tween the years 1906 and 1912. In
only two articles is there a decrease,
the second class and inferior mutton
and petroleum. The greatest in
crease is in tapioca, in which it was
Sc per cent. The only article in
which there was no change was
bread, although flour shows an in
crease of per cent. Beef shows an
increase of from 20 per cent in the
case of first class to 3S per cent in
the case of second class. House coal
shows an increase of Al per cent,
tea of 81 per cent, coffee of AZ per
cent, and so on through the list of
29 articles of food in common use

Two Ways TO Save

One is to wait until you have large
sums to spare, time which seldom
comes.
The other is to put aside at COM
pound interest small amounts which
you can easily spare, and do it reg
ularly.
You will have great respect for
compound interest when you discov-
er from experience how it increases
your capital.

you in a savings account with this
