SAYS RUSSIAN PEASANT
HAS COME INTO HIS OWN
Prof. S. N. Harper Discusses Develop.
ment of Popular Government
Which Displaces Empire. (

That the Russian peasant has come into
ment in his great country, Prof. Samuel
n. Harper told National Geographic So
ciety audiences yesterday and last even
ing when he lectured at the New Masonic
Auditorium on the development which has
taken place in Russia since the European
war began. To this war, DR.. Harper gives
the credit for having advanced the politi-
cal emancipation of the nation a whole
generation within the short space Of two
and a half years.
Peasants as Farmers and Soldiers.
Pictures Of the peasants in peace as
farmers and shopkeepers and in war as
sturdy soldiers were shown to illustrate
the lecture and portraits of the men who
are at the head of the new government in
Petrograd. In the peasant pictures the
women were shown working in the harvest
fields side by side with the men. This
equality in labor. the lecturer explained.
will account in a large measure for the
political equality it is said the women are
to enjoy under the new regime.
During recent years a great educa-
tional movement-'the movement for
liberation"-has been taking place in
Russia. and this has resulted in the
powerful Ze,nstvo Union, comprising
hundreds of local organizations all over
the country with several millions or
members. These Zemstvo workers have
for years been fitting the peasant for
self-government by training him in viii
lage and communal affairs, developing
schools, hospitals and other economic
improvements.

TOOLS N WEALTH.


Tools and not wealth are now given as the
prime source Of power The nation with the
greatest wealth cannot Outright the nation with
the better. tools.
We enter the great war richer than our allies
combined. But in 1914, the riches of England,
France, Italy and Russia many times exceeded
the wealth of Germany, Austria and Turkey.
Compensating advantages for the Central Pow
ers were tools and organization-the tools of the
military, equipment and industrial organization of
the highest character.
Germany spent one dollar to the allies four
and made it buy more in fighting power.
Today our wealth is matched against the
greatest German tool-the submarine.
If the war drags on for years, as some assert
it will, it will be a war between wealth and this
tool.
Germany is making a cold calculation. If in
a few months the number of vessels sunk do not
justify her reliance upon the submarine as a COM
MERGE destroyer, she will undoubtedly sue for
peace; if the statistics of sinking lead her to be-
lieve that a few years more of war will sweep COM
merce from the seas, and at the same time her
civil population does not starve, it will probably
mean that she will continue fighting indefinitely.
In such a case it will be the wealth of the allies
~squarely set against the submarine, with part of
the wealth of the United States utilized in con-
~structing ships to make up for the losses sustained
through submarines.
AS at the beginning of the great war, it is
wealth against tools, with the possessors of the
wealth turning much of it into organized efficiency
and tools.

THE ARMY.

aAAA
It is not generally known that our national
guard can be recruited up to 100000 men. This
is the possibility under the Dick law, passed last
year.
Under the law the president can call to the
guard all able-bodied men between the ages of IS
and As years.
This force, however, can only be used for home
defense, and is not available for foreign service.
1t looks as if we won't need that many men for
home defense, which explains why the govern
ment seems to be concentrating on the enlistments
for the regular army and is considering enlist
ments for foreign service separate from the nat
ional guard itself.
On the other hand, this should be a good time
to put the national guard on a war footing. Com
panies that are below strength should be enlist
ed to full strength. A wave Of patriotism has
swept the country, and the government should
take Advantage of it.
Our Small a~rn1y"-regular and guardsmen-
has been the butt Of repeated jokes. We haven't
as many men under arms as some of the South
American republics can mobilize in a week; nor
half as many as such small nations as 6witzer.
land and Holland can muster off hand.
The time to strike for the national guard is
war also the regular army. If the nation
cannot enlist both up to full war strength at the
present time, when patriotism and loyalty has been
given the brass band impetus, there Is something
-adically wrong with the young men Of the couIl-
try.
hAAAAAA
THEY SHAME THE NATION.
Hfs ."N".| t.#E.". -.sM'y.fa
The country has been astounded at the large
number Of marriage licenses issued since the be-
ginning Of the. war with Germany. Thousands Of
young men prefer to fight the high cost Of marital
bliss instead Of the Germans. Cupid is getting the
recruits. '
Young men who suddenly get married instead
Of enlisting-and who do SO for no other reason
than to avoid army service-are q disgrace to
themselves and thsir country.

BOND ISSUES.


1t appears that the movement to pay for the
war as we go isn't making much Roadway. We
are going in for huge bond issues. Though the
president mentioned CONSUMPTION Of wealth in his
last message, he hasn't done anything further
about it, and hasn't given congress a definite sug.
gestion or an urging on this score. As a conse-
quence we are in for bond issues ~variously esti-
mated at from three to seven billion dollars, the
exact figure depending upon what is finally decid-
ed upon in the trip of the financial measures
through congress.
It probably would be difficult to tax even the
rich sufficiently to produce so much money in a
comparatively short time; and probably this is
the main reason for the contemplated bond issues,
which will be doated under principles of popular
subscription.
However, one would naturally think that after
such a good start had been given the CONSUMPTION
of wealth idea by the president in his late ad-
dress, that something tangible would be derived.
This is irrespective of whether the one system or
the other is best.
Considering that it takes a long time to pay
bonds, that they add materially to the cost of liv-
ing and taxation, and on account of the huge sums
involved, it would seem that the raising Of war
funds should be attended with at least modified
application of the principle of the CONSUMPTION Of
wealth. In the case of bonds the poor must pay
too great a share, and they are already irritable
under the high cost of living. We continually brag
about the wealth in this country, and how it leads
the world, yet in a great national crisis hesitate
to force it to pay a more just share of the nations
tax burden.

REDMOND SHOW |S
 BEST YET GIVEN

Those who have taken ride with The Girl in the Taxi" with Ed Red mond at the wheel and the lively bunch at the Elks theater furnishing the gas, pep and jazz for the tour. don't know what chance they are missing for the show given this week by the popular stock musical comedy company is as. good as anything yet done and that is saying a great deal. It is show with the dragging minute left out The only time the fun slows up is during the intermissions.
 AS usual, the company is provided with excellent costumes and the marvel is that any organization can main tain such pace in this respect as this wardrobe department is setting. Some night some one in the audience with d proper prospective of merit is going to demand that the wardrobe mistress come out in front of the curtain and receive the applause due her.
 The Girl in the Taxf' not only af- lords excellent comedy chances for MT. Redmond and the other members of his company. but there are. even more than the usual number of interpola- : tions Hits are more numerous than ever before, and the scenic investature Is most elaborate
 Of course state fair week is draw ing big crowds to the Elks for the fame of the excellence of the Redmond shows has spread all over Arizona and the already excellent reputation is more than sustained in the offering this week-a really marvellous enter tainment for the price asked.
