BOLSHEVIKIS AND
RUBLES

n rs a fight in Russia be-
tween the Bolshevikis and
the Rubles, with long
odds on the Rubles. A ruble
is to a Russian what dollar
is to an American, though a
ruble is worth but 81 Ameri-
can cents. But in Russia, a ru-
BILE is as powerful as is a dol
lar in America, and the Boish-
evikis will find this out.
The Boishevikis, a sort of
cross between extreme Social
lists and l. w. WIS are said to
be in control of the Russian
government just now. They
are certainly very strong, es-
pecially in their demands.
Their idea, according to Har-

Al Despair left today for Santa

old Williams, Petrograd cor
respondent of the New York
Times, is to turn the armed
workingmen against the capi-
ltalists, take all lands from the
hands of private owners and
give those lands to the peas
antry, and form a close often
Isive and defensive alliance be-
tween the city workingmen
and the peasantry to rule the
country.
The main thing in the way
is the ruble. AS soon as a Boil
sheviki gets into office, either
in a council or a cabinet, he
expects a salary. Rubles and
kopeks, payable in respectable
amounts, as salary, must be
forthcoming. He has to pay
his rent, his grocery, his laun-
dry. He must live up to his
means and wear good clothes.
The laborer is worthy of his
hire.
The program of the extreme
Socialists. as everyone knows,
involves the abolition of rent,
interest and profits. 1t predi-
Gates a system of government
credits in lieu of money. But
nothing of the kind has been
worked out inlRussia or else
where. Rubles and dollars
and pounds sterling still are
the only media of exchange.
If the town Bolsheviki expect
the country food producers to
do their share in the new pro-
gram, they will have to show
them where the profit will
come in. With all the new
land they will own, if the pres
ent owners are dispOssessed, +,
Russian peasants will expect to
ride in super-sixes and listen to
canned music. And they will
expect to see their own rubles
growing in number at a reli-
able banking institution.
Also, the rest of the world
has a big interest in the sue
cess of the ruble in this fight.
The Bolshevikis haven't the
ghost of a chance.-St. Louis

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
CIN ADVANCED

The startling thing about
the colonel's stuff is its rank
unfairness. Our government
has done little if any Dragging
but it has performed hercu-
lean work in the way of serious
and extensive preparations.
There is no bragadocia about
the 20 billions provided to fl
nance our part in the war this
year and to aid our allies hard
pressed for funds. There is
no sham about our shipbuild-
ing, about our navy, about the
10000 aeroplanes under con-
struction, about the draft army
now assembling nor about the
more than million men under
arms and in fighting trina
larger armed force than Eng
land had when war came to
her door. The coloneI's sneer
that the draft army after eight
months is not yet fully equip
ped is illtimed. Needless to
say it was first necessary to
pass the conscription act and
that in itself was no small
task. The time consumed
since that time has not been
extraordinary. 1t takes time
to mobolize a raw army, pro-
vide it with quarters and field
equipment and train up Off
GERS as Roosevelt well knows.
The miracle is that we did so
much in such short time.
However, the colonels
words might be excused on the
ground of jealousy if not for
one thing and that is this
we want the German people
to know we are in the game in
earnest and are out to see it
through. Will the colonels
articles dishearten or encour-
age the enemy. 1t is easy to
believe that the kaiser will be
delighted with the stCff and
can use Roosevelts words to

is expected 100000 pounds of sugar
and a Hike amount Of lard will be
saved. There will be no fancy breads
and but four standard sizes of loaves,
viz. one, one and half, two and four
pounds.
OF Importance in consideration of all
this Is that the baking industries sup
ply 40 per cent OF the bread used in
the country. only 90 per cent being the
output in the homes. Besides. with the
licensing Of bakers on Dec. 70, new
orders will go into effect for delivery
and sale Of bread. Retailers will be
asked 20 order from but one baker and
consumers will be asked to pay cash
so that the retailer can do business on
one percent profit. II IS thought this
will make a pound loaf possible at
from I TO s cents.
With all bakeries or the same basis,
there will be little choice in the pro-
duct Economies in the bakery VIII
allow for lees cost. There will be bak-
ers who will say II can't be done; that
the Tread will not be palatable. But
that Is not to be considered. What
matters Is that the government says
1t must lie done. That will do for the
baker and for the consumer as well.

NO STRIKES DURING THE WAR.

Word has gone out that the AmeH-
can Federation Of Labor has called OFF
and forbidden all strikes on govern
ment work The plea made by Presi
dent Wilson has been heard and
answered as It should have been.
Labor has had the sagacity to see
the storm cloud IN the distance and
| labor is going 70 be loyal TO IT'S country
in time Of war. The ag!tator element
within is ranks has been forced TO give
| way to the real patriots among card
men.
The government and the country
could not have tolerated disloyalty in
the name Of organized labor for very
long. The demand which sends United
States narshals scurrying here and
there 70 discipline people who merely
indulge in d!sloyal talk would not have
tolerated organized revolt in the pro-
duction Of munitions which our armies
must have to wage our war.
Men had been conscripted; simply
taken by law tor army service. money
had been taken by law up 70 half and
two-thirds Of a rich mans entire In
come, factories had been taken over by
law and il was not far step TO con-
script by law the workers needed on
government ship building, In govern
ment mines or arsenals. Had strikes
continued 10 interrupt and delay the
preparations for war while organized
labor reached for It's share OF prufteer-
ing the government would have been
forced TO put uniforms on 800 men
and put them to work at soldiers pay Of
$50 per month.
However, this Is not going 70 be done
so long as men volunteer as willing
workers at whatever they are asked TO
| do and that brings back to the govern
ment the same obligation TO fix fair
wage for labor as It has fxed fair
prices for the farmer, the coal mine
| owner, and the steel manufacturer
| Organized labor engaged in any line of
| work either directly or Indirectly con-
| nected with preparing the army and
| navy for war must give UP ats right to
strike during the war just as manu-
| facturers must quit making automo-
biles for the trade and turn their
factories over to the government for
the making OF aeromotors and army
trucks. but both the mill owner and
the la!torer is entitled to a fair COM
pensation. Both win go right on doing
their bit while the government fxes
the price. 1t would have been r.dicu-
lous to have even suggested that Il
could have been otherwise.

BLAMING THE WOMEN

When commentators have finished
the reviewing Of results on the New
York suffrage election they will have
ascertained only that the question won
because the affirmative side was In
trusted to practical politicians who
conducted their campaign along prac-
teal lines. leaving out the silly APP
peals that amateurs enormously be-
lieve to be effective.
The suffrage issue is naturally
strong. It has been more often de-
feated by its supporters than by its
opponents Women campaigners must
consider that, where suffrage is not
allowed, their appeals must be made
to men. The majority Of women cam
paigners are from the utra-fashion-
able sets. The majority Of the voters
are as strange to them as tho they
were citizens OF Mars. They are
wholly unable to appeal to the average
man having the average mind and con-

of these men must be cast for any
measure that Is to win. Effective cos
