PROHIBITION IN RUSSIA.

From Petrograd comes the statement
that the prohibition of the sale of
vodka, instituted as war measure.
has proven to be such tremendous
benefit to the country at large that an
imperial order has been issued eontinu-
ing the prohibition indefinitely, even
after the war shall be over.
The Petrograd report recites such a
remarkable Improvement in the condi-
tion of the Russian peasants and viii
layers since their vodka was taken
away from them, paints such a roseate
picture of millions of drunken ineffi-
clients lifted up to self-respecting in
dustry, of filthy novels transmitted in
to tidy little homes and ragged mou-
jiks changed into clean and well dress
ed citizens, that it is not easy to re-
sist the suspicion that the writer has
drawn on his enthusiasm for part of
the benefits arising from the SOLDERING
up of the Russian nation. It is only
about two months since Russia put the
ban on her frewater, and allowing for
the period of shakiness that comes to
the alcoholic who is suddenly de-
prived of his stimulant the period
seems to be rather a short one for the
marvellous transformation of which we
are told.
But there is probably a very great
deal of truth in the statements never
theless. If there has been a people
in the world thoroughly enslaved by
John Barleycorn, and kept poor ana
wretched by that slavery far beyond
any poverty and wretchedness resulting
from their form of government, it has
been the Russian people. Alcohol is
almost as bad for the true Russian as
it is for the American Indian - and
exercises over him substantially the
same fascination. The severest indict-
ment that has ever lain against the
government of the ear was that it de
rived an enormous revenue from a
monopoly of the sale of liquor to such
q people.
No doubt the best thing that ever
] happened to Russia is the. vod ka pro
hibition. In Russia the government does
the thinking for the people. This time
it has thought right, though its inspira-
tion for the idea was accidental I'm
questionably national sobriety will
enormously increase the productive
ness, the prosperity, the mental capac
ity and the moral responsibility of the
people of the empire. 1t may even be
that the benefits that accrue to the
nation through the agency of this re
form will actually more than compen
safe for all the loss of life and vast,
of resources incident to the war.

PEACE DAY TOMORROW.

President Wilson by proclamation
has designated Sunday, Oct. 4. as a
national peace day. Peace services
will be held in churches throughout
the land, irrespective of denominations
Sermons for peace in Europe will be
delivered, songs for peace will be sung
and prayers for peace will be offered.
A hymn entitled Peace, written by
John Haynes Holmes and sung to the
music of st. Anges by J. B. Dykes in
1866, has been recommended as the
national peace day song by the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America end the Church Peace union.

A GENUINE NEWSPAPER.

One of the best country weekly news
papers published in America is the
Randolph Herald. It's news service
field admirably, and it gives an excel
lent summary of state and general
news. In addition it is strong paper
editorially. It's editor is keen student
of affairs, man with the courage of
his convictions, aud blessed with the
ability to express his thoughts on pa
per concisely and cogently. We always
think of Luther Johnson as young
man, so that it is rather surprising to
read in his paper this week the fol
lowing editorial note:
Twenty years ago, the present editor
and publisher of this paper took pos
session of his then new purchase. He
has no fault to find. His lines have
cast in pleasant places. People have
treated him better than he deserved
on the whole. He has made living
and enjoyed the same. A score of years
brings its changes. OF the original of
fee force of 20 years ago, only two re
main on duty Of our town correspond
GnIS, NOT over SiA Oul VI dbOub ~ tOh
tinue The old ones are not forgotten
though the new are appreciated. The
editor hopes the world may use hin
as well the next 20 years, and will try
a little harder to merit the good things
and endure the other kind.
Wonderful are the mutations in tho
whirligig of time Mr.. Johnson ha'
seen remarkable changes in the per
sonnet of the people who have assiste,
him in the making of his paper and his
experience is naturally similar to thai
of any man who has been in the har
ness a long period in one community
Every member of the newspaper Graf
in the state will join in wishing Mr.
Johnson at least 20 years more of use
fulness in the editorial chair and the.
all feel assured that he will cOntinu
to maintain the high standards ant
ideals which have always characterized
his work.

the Moselle, G. Tower.
''This is the valley where If you

things that may be seen; can read a

those who are weary of registered

gering around the beautiful Moselle

Alsace and Lorraine, still unspoiled
and unknown to travellers.

Younger Boston may look with pure
JOY at the prospect of the largest and
finest hotel in New England that is to
be built on fremont, Washington and
Mason streets at a cost of $3,30O,00O
but older Boston grieves in the thought
that the building of the hotel means
the demolition of the famous old
Boston theater, which has rounded out
80 years as a playhouse, and has been
the scene of every kind of production,
all the way from comedy to grand
opera.

Home Life in Russia, A. S. Rappoport.
A very interesting book in which
the writer tells much of the country,
manners, customs and ways of think
ing that differentiates the Russians
from their neighbors of the Western
World. The author notes in the pref
ace that the life and habits of the up
per classes often differ but little from
those of Western Europe; but that the
vast mass of peasants, however, is
conservative and remains Just as it
was many centuries ago. Therefore
much space is devoted to the descrip-
ton of peasant life especially to the
ceremonies and festivals of the
.MOushiks-which are peculiar and in
teresting features of century about
which the average reader knows but
little.

The Randolph Herald brings up the
interesting question whether, at the
coming November election, the sena-
torial ticket should be placed on the
same ballot with the state ticket. or
whether it should be separate. The at
torney general has been asked for an
opinion, and it is reported that he
holds the senatorial ballot should be
separate. The Herald says: "This is a
fair deduction, for several reasons,
though the matter is not directly GOV
cred by law. The ballot for congress
man is separate from the official state
ballot now, and it would be natural to
assume the same rule for election to
the federal Senate as to the House. The
qualifications of voters differ as be-
tween federal and state elections, and
the state ticket requires a majority,
while a plurality is sufficient to elect
in ease of the senator. So, apart from
any considerations that might arise
out of the present mixed canvass in
this state, or without knowledge that
anybody interested is trying to gain a
point, we approve the ruling made by
| Attorney General Brown, which doubt
less will determine the way the ballots
are prepared -

Undiscovered Russia, Stephen Graham.
Russia lies at the back, an undis-
covered country, peoples by a free and
original peasantry. Far from the rail
ways, round churches in forest clear
ings, in verdant half-forgotten river
valleys, where Western clothes and
Western culture never penetrate, lives
a lost family of our brothers. 1t Is
among them that | have been wander
ing and living. Here is Russian life
as | have seen it and understood it in
remote unknown parts where Western
Europeans have never travelled .

derful architecture and art treasures
not only in its we'll known cities, but
also in its comparatively unknown
towns and villages.
