Based on Education.

The present revolution is based upon
education and cooperation. said Mr..
London. Most Americans think of the
Russian peasant as a brutishly igno-
rant man, yet statistics show that IS
per cent of the people between the ages
Of eighteen and fifty are able to read.
The ZemstvoS or district legislative
bodies. representative of the agricul
tural interests of the people, have
quietly pursued a campaign of educa-
ton for years. one OF the slogans of
the peasant organizations has been "a
school within q mile of every peasants
house and a hospital within three
miles" The Russian government has
vigorously opposed the extension of ac-
tivities of the zemstvos and their lean
ing toward the light. The Russian cen
surShp, with the fClly which charac-
tcrizes all censorships. has permitted
the Russians to learn all about the
revolutionary struggles of other peo-
pies
Il knew the history of the struggles
for liberty in other nations before l
history of the struggle for liberty in
Russia itself was Inaccessible to the
Russian"
Thus the revolutionists are armed
with theory. Mr.. London's fear in this
connection is that people who have
only been able to talk for years will be
unable to translate theory into action.
The Russian novel has been an edu-
eating influence. The censor was too

understand the state in which they

People Taught Cooperation.

The Zemstvos have taught the people
to cooperate. In a country in which
the meeting of two people on the high
way was almost considered prima
facie proof of conspiracy the govern
ment has feared the zemstvos. During
the Russo-Japanese war the zemstvos
were not permitted to engage in Red
Cross work because the government
feared to have the people work to-
gether. But the immense demands of
the present war forced the government
to abandon this position. The zemstvos
have in cooperation managed great
part of the work of the war and the
Internal direction of the people
They are the natural basis on which
q republic Will be built. The country is
covered with network of interrelated
and cooperating agencies. Having

cause of this fact the republican form
of government has become more suited

Another shock in preconceived ideas
is that III some respects Russia is an
enlightened country. Its men and wom-
en- have already secured some measure
OF social reform. For example, a work
mans compensation act became a law
In Russia before one was placed on the
statute books of the United States. Mr..
London regards equal suffrage a
probability under the new republic.
THE Russian woman has been free for
fifty years" said he. ..She has done her
part in bringing about this revolution
and is accepted comrade. The
Russian man has not the chivalrous de-
votion OF the american to woman, but
he respects woman very highly.

With this battle cry, Theodore
Roosevelt entered Chicago last Sat
urday, and in two stirring speeches
urged that every energy of the entire
nation be directed toward making
the potential might of the United

allies.
He was roundly applauded when
he urged that during the war the
use of grain for the manufacture OF
alcoholic beverages be prohibited.

We can make it good only If we fight

REAL CINNEBAR STRIKE.
Lewis County Prospectors Think They
Have Found Paying Mine.

The first real strike of cinnebar ore
in eastern Lewis county that shows
indications of being a continuous
lead and developing into a paying
mine, has been discovered about a
half mile from the smelling plant
near Morton, Centralia dispatch
says. The smelter was erected by
William Martin, Seattle and ALASKA
mining man, when the quicksilver
mines sprung into prominence re-
Gently in that section of the county.
The discoveries of the new vein,
which is about 10 by IL feet and very
rich, are H. Kuhnhausen and William
Blankenship, who have been pros
pecting for several months and who
made some of the original discover
les. Some Of the previous discoveries,
while rich, proved irregular. In spite
Of this fact, however, the smelter has
been operated at substantial profit

TWO WASHINGTON
MEN FIGHT DRAFT
AGAINST ARMY BILL TO
THE LAST.

Two house members of the Wash
ington delegation, LaFollette and Dill,
both from Eastern Washington, the
former Republican, the latter a
Democrat, voted against the war de-
partment plan of raising an army by
draft and supported the volunteer
plan.
Those who voted for draft were
Miller, Hadley and Johnson. Senator
Jones and Poindexter stood together
for the draft and voted for the
amendments to prohibit sale Of intox-
icants to members Of congress as we'll
as officers and men in the army.
Failing to get the house to adopt
the volunteer plan they favored, Rep
resentatives Dill and LaFollette voted
against giving the United States any
increased army at all. Had their votes
prevailed the hands of the United
States would have been tied COM
pletely. The house had voted down
the volunteer plan by an overwhelm-
ing majority, leaving the draft plan
the only one available.
Defeat of that would have nullified
the effect of the whole army increase
measure. Most of the members who
had favored the volunteer plan so
long as there was any possibility of
carrying it, voted for the draft when
1t became question of giving their
country that or nothing. Even Miss
Jeanette Rankin changed, but Dill
and LaFollette voted no. even on the
final passage of the bill.
