THE BEAR WHIMPERS

No one will be really surprised,
however much he may be disturbed
and disappointed, by today's news that
Russia is seeking separate peace with
Germany With it comes the word,
not official that the Kerensky govern
ment had been, or was being, over
thrown and that fighting in the streets
OF Petrograd was momentarily expect
ed.
1t is useless to speculate on the re
suit of this development-in fact. un-
safe even to assume that the present
apparent conditions in Russia will
have permanency. Governmental rev
olutiOns. throughout all history. have
been attended with more or less VIC
lence. bloodshed and anarchy There
was never reason to expect that

ant and superstitious. would escape.
That the end is yet-o or that the hoard

who have succeeded Kerensky, if he
is indeed overthrown. will afford the
Kaiser any material assistance. is not
at all to be expected Russia has for
months been eliminated as a factor in
the fighting. All Germany will shout
over the news that she seeks sep
arate peace; but, for the present at
least, the opportunity 70 shout will be
about all she gets out of it. The Turk

vote of the party, or rather of that
portion of the party paying regular
dues. Morris Hillquit was the leader
of this unpatriotic move, which was
opposed by Allen Benson, the Social
list nominee for president in 1915, by
Charles Edward Russell, by John
Spargo and the ablest intellectuals and
leaders in the organization. The very
submission to a vote of the question
whether a party within a nation
would support it when defending its
rights. was itself morally reasonable,
and the great majority of even the
dues-paying party members took no
part in the fight The pro-German
element all voted, and carried the anti
war recommendations by a big major
ity of the vote cast, after war was an
actuality. Benson. Russell, Spargo
and many other leaders withdrew from
the organization. Their only error
consisted in their failure to refuse to
take part in the voting at all. 1t was
not a case of conscientious objection
for the man who is opposed to partici-
patton in war on conscientious
grounds does not wait for a referen-
dunn vote of a portion of a political
party to determine whether he should
participate or not Since that time
Hillquit has ever been a sturdy Oppo-
nent of the United States in its con
duct of the war and has deity insin-
uated with a certain smoothness and
success that La Toilette has not been
able to initiate that this country was
all in the wrong.
AS far as Hylan is concerned, he
comes in under some suspicion. OF
course, the campaign just closed has
been distinguished by the singing of

that Hylan has always been a Tam

of congratulation that the vote show

the race and that his claims were
based on the enthusiasm of friends
and the fears of foes.
1t will be remembered that just be-
fore the declaration of war a great So

cuss the question of war, and though
a state of war virtually existed at the
time, this unpatriotic body resolved
against the defense of its rights by
this country, but submitted the ques-

wires that all possibility of the cleo

considered his election as a serious
possibility and that many veteran
judges of practical politics believed he
would win was a consideration of the
gravest importance. Had he been
elected, his triumph would have
