IN Revolutions BY IT'S?

First? How many previous ones do
you want?"
ooh, none Only in Rosia ITS is not
old. By ITS we had had eleven revo-
lutions."
l thought that this was rather ungra-
cious of him. Here | was telling him
about the oldest and best revolution that
we have in this country, and he was de-
hberately minimizing at least its age, if
not it's Importance.
"Over there, across the street, near
the chestnut stand and behind the brew
cry truck is where the Boston Massacre
occurred. There the British soldiers
stood and shot down citizens of Boston
in cold blood"
what for?" he asked.
Don't you know what for?" I ex-
claimed. "Why, taxation without repre-
sentation."
"They shot them because they were
taxation without representation The
New Citizen was puzzled.
"No, no. suppose the Bostonians
had done something to irritate the SOL
diers-thrown bottles or something"
There was silence for few minutes
while my pupil peered behind the truck
at the arrow on the sidewalk marking
the spot. Then he said:
al remember just before left Rosia,
when was living in Ekaterinoslav. The
house in which boarded was suspected
by the authorities of having books in it.
We weren't supposed to have books
thew would make US too wise. So one
night a dozen Cossacks came to the
house and searched it, and when VIC
woke up and looked out we saw barrels
of petroleum piled all about the house.
They were going to burn it, with every
one in it. My roommate worked IN the
government office and knew what was
going to happen; so he and | sneakea

ers in the house, but my sister wrote
later that all seventeen were killed. How
many were killed in the Boston Massa-
ere, did you say?"
Three, believe" was my rather I'M
impressive reply. Three, including the
leader of the citizens, who was negro.
"But killing a negro doesn't count in
America, does it?" queried the New Git
izen, with suspicion Of a smile.

(Which side of the hill did the battle
take place."
"Well, to be frank, the battle of Bun
ker Hill didn't take place on Bunker
Hill. 1t was fought on Breeds Hill,
which is over in that direction some
where"
why do they call it the battle of
Bunker Hill, them"
"Well, suppose they had the monu-
ment here and thought they might as
well name the battle after it."
Il see. How badly did the Americans
defeat the British in this battle?"
"Why-er-you see, the British won."
We climbed down. The sun was just
going down behind the buildings of the
Pilgrim Brewing Company. tried to
think up something else that might tone
up the prestige of the American Revo-
luton in the eyes of its new beneficiary.
Lexington and Concord? A mere
incident in Russia.
Long Island? A strategic retreat
after defeat would be nothing remark
able to man whose own forefathers
had been strategically retreating after
defeat for centuries.
Valley Forge? What thrill would the
story of hardship and suffering from
the cold of Pennsylvania bring to this
vict;-l of the open winter of Russia?
Valley Forge to his people would be
summer resort.
l found that the American Revo-
luton wasn't making the hit with him
that it always made with me. He was
interested in it, but that was about all.
1t had turned out to be more successful
in its result than any Russian uprising,
it is true, but if France and several
other powers should lend the Russian
revolutionists as much aid as was given
to the American Revolutionists there
might be still chance for a thriving
chapter of the Daughters of the Russian
Revolution ready to defend the good
name of the Nihilists against future
SANDER.
There was really little more that
could tell the New Citizen. American
history has its thrill for me, but
tastes differ. So on the way home I
made the best of good situation and
settled back in my chair.
"And now" said, in slightly pat
ronizing manner, tell me something q
your own history"

AIY IDEA was to impress the New
vi Citizen. Here was young man
who had given up his native
land 10 become an American, and 1t was
only fair that he should know the stir
ing history of his adopted country and
1erbaps see some of the shrines which
commemorate the deeds of his Revolu-
tonary step-forefathers. l even clipped
for his inspiration the latest indignant
bulletin of the D. A. R., disclosing the
fact that these Revolutionary forefath-
e-s were enlisted almost entirely from
the clergy and other godly men whose
chief concern, when they were not hight
ing, was the sanctity Of property.
Therefore, in order to give him more
impressive background for these fist
lessons in American history, we went to
Boston. The New Citizen had heard of
Boston during the late, unlamented base
hall season, and thought that Mr.. CARR
gan was Governor of that province. AS
apatriotic Mecca, it meant nothing to
him.
Alighting from the subway at State
Street, we assembled on an escalator
along with several hundred Greater Bos-
tonians.

"Well, no, not exactly chasing him,

the table with the colonel. heard him
talk of Jewish suspect in a neighbor-
ing town who was going to be arrested
and sent to Siberia, and as knew this
man very well I was-very sorry to hear
it. So / sneaked out one night-it was
snowing-and started to walk to the
next town to tell my friend what the
plan was against him and to adj
wise him to leave town. l soon
found out that / was being fol-
lowed by some government officials,
and started to run. They blew
whistle and followed me. lodged them
through the woods and hid behind a
bush covered with snow until they had
gone by. Then l ran on some more. 1t
was very cold, and one of my shoes came
off. Every once in a while could hear
the officers, sometimes on one side Of
me, sometimes behind. Finally heard
them no more, and reached my friends
house with one foot frozen. He left town
next day, and l had to leave Yeisk, for
the colonel found out what had done.

Paul Revere didn't check up very WV
idly against this outline of story. Here
I was trying to impress a man with an
experience from history, which he had
not only duplicated but gone one better
in his own personal experience. I was
frankly discouraged.
Nothing must do but l must take him
to Bunker Hill. At least he would ad-
mire the view. But the wind came from
across the manufacturing district, and
the view was limited.
AS soon as we had recovered OUT

THE PUBLIC MUST PAY

While it is the natural inclination
of every individual to take advantage
of every situation for his own bene-
fit, it is generally true that people
stand for a fair deal for everybody. AT
least it is safe to say that nobody
wants to be compelled to pay for
something of no benefit to him, but
of great benefit to someone else.
Investigators of the affairs of the
post office department, on behalf OF
the one cent letter postage associa-
ton, declare that the income from
letter postage is at least seventy-five
million dollars a year in excess of
the cost of handling the first class
mail. The association seeks a one
cent letter rate locally, and hopes for
a one cent rate for all. distances.
OF course, the correspondence of
the average person is so light that he
may pay only a few cents or only a
few dollars a year in excess of the
cost of handling the letters he mails,
and he may not be inclined to COM
plain of the amount; but he does feel
inclined to protest against a 100 per
CEN tax on his letters.
Such complaint is justified. The
post office department should be self
supporting, and each class of mail
should pay it's own way. Many classes
do not. Magazines are distributed at
the rate of a cent a pound at any dis
lance from the place of publication,
and the loss IN that class of business
is said to be more than seven times
the income.
The users of the first class service
are paying SIS, 900, 900 of the deficit
each year the one cent advocates
claim, and the people are paying the
balance, for the post office department |
invariably ends the veal with a def
cit larger than the last. V

Mexico's Silver Output.

It is notable that the report Of the
agreement between General Scott and
General Obregon touching operations
in Mexico the rise in silver bolted-in
fact. receded from the high price
reached in mid-week.
With the restoration Of order and Sc
curity to property in the republic there
undoubtedly will be a resumption of
mining and on larger scale than ever
before. In 1914 the production Of the
white metal in Mexico closely approx
mated the output Of the United State
for the same year, which was 1880, 900
fine ounces.
The price. now higher than at any
time since 1S93-the advance since last
summer being 80 per CENTS natural
ly stimulating production in this coun-
try. and with the Mexican mines in
normal operation there will be a great
addition to the supply, as the United
States and Mexico are the worlds two
great producers Of silver.
