RUSSIA'S RACIAL PROBLEM

When We speak OF Russians, we
speak Of a small proportion Of the
peoples that inhabit that vast empire
This great diversity Of race serves TO
bring into stronger relief the diff.
culties in the way Of creating a work
able system OF republican government
in 4 land where the lingual differences
of the people IS so profound. 1t Is re.
called that this diversity had Il lurid
illustration the other day when the

army placed itself under the orders
Of General Korniloff and marched to
attack Petrograd. The division is
composed Of Georgians and eau
casians who do not speak Russian and

rather than skill the disabled man will
be barred, hut there are many occupa-
tons where the main work requires
strong men, there are various odd
jobs that can be performed by the
disabled. There Is no doubt that a
crippled man, suffering from the loss
Of either arms or legs, could become

elevator operator and if he could tend
boiler he could obtain q license
which would enable him TO hold a
position as day or night Waterman.

appreciate that such a condition will
confront us and know that it Will be

last fall, when he should have been IN
New York attending to his official
duties and otherwise observing the
provisions of the civil service law;
but still more pertinent comment Is
that Mr.. Malone is not the only Will
son campaign orator who is suffering
embarrassment OF this sort, nor IS the
suffrage question the only one where
in the promises Of the Democratic
stump have not been fulfilled.
There were thousands OF Demo
cratic orators last fall-some Of them
office-holders like MIR. Malone, who
told the people how the President had
kept us out Of war" and who prom
ised in his behalf that, II he were
given a second term in the White
House, we would continue to be kept
cut of war" until March 4, 1921, at
least. But We do not hear Of any
other resignationS-actual or threat
ened-to accompany Mr.. Malones on
this account. II every Democratic
Senator and Congressman who made
this promise Of peace in Mr.. Wilson's
name should now resign, and there
would not be enough members Of the
Presidents party left in the Capitol
to- organize a successful pinochle
party. And If every Federal office
holder who talked the way Mr.. Malone
did last fall should now follow his
example, there would be walk-out
and a tie-up in every branch OF the
government Mr.. Malone deserves
sympathy, but there are others on
The Federal payroll who will continue
10 draw their salaries. to swallow
their embarrassment, and to suffer in
silence.

KERENSKY AND NAPOLEON

The rneteor-like SuddeIness with
which kerensky flashed across the
sky OF battle-clouded Europe inclined
many to seek for parallels in the lives
and. characters OF nan whose genius
: directed the fate of nations. Those
.. who delight in such historical diver
sions will find many interesting
, points of similarity between the Man
: of Destiny Of the French Revolution
and the Man of the Hour in Russia's
tsdsy Of liberation from the oppression
:. Of autocracy. Napoleon was In his
- tbirty-trst year when ne become First!
: Consul OF the French Republic;
- Kerensky, premier OF the Russian
Cabinet and now exercising the
powers Of dictator In order TO restore
order in the empire. Is just thlrty-slX.
Throughout his career Napoleon
suffered from an incurable Internal
ualady. supposedly cancer OF the
stomach; kerensky is also tortured by
q disease. supposedly tuberculosis OF
the liver, which prevents his working
at fever heat more than few weeks
ut a time; then he is forced by weak
ness to recuperate for three or four
bays in a sanatarium in the Crlmea.
Mpoleon's judgment OF men was
instant and almost invaluable; ker-
ensky is reputed to possess the same
faculty TO remarkable degree.
Kerensky is an impassioned orator OF
forceful, incislve style. His exhorta-
tons to the soldiers of the new Russia
have much in common With the inspir-
ing appeals otsNapo!eon to his troops
before the Battle OF the Pyramids and
elsewhere.
