Russia In The Hands Of The Liberals

GERS the prnceings and grand dukes were reveling
with their misresses in the cities Not ALL of course
for Russia has produced military leaders stern of
discipline and moved by true PATRIOTISM like that
monolithc figure Grand Duke Nicholas NicOlaie-
witch. Not alI-but far too many. IT,.
Only one result could come of this-the Russian
organization formed 10 meet the war broke down.
Dimly the world has heard of the disgrace of gen
erals and of ministers, of cabinet changes of i'm
prisonments and of executions #.-.#
These have been the symptoms of the Russian dis
order-the clash of bureaucracy and of patriotism
Editorially about month ago the Star Bulletin
told how Premier Sturmer, virtually convicted by
revelations in'the Duma of planning separate
peace with Germany, was forced into retirement.
Next came Trepoff, whose rule was that of few
weeks only Next was GOlifizin. and his appoint
ment iniamed the liberals. He was regarded as one
of the worst of the Teactionaries and when at the
outset of his premiership he announced Everything
for victory" and said that the liberalization of gov
eminent must wait he sealed the doom Of the Roma
noffs. Ii. --... H.
The breakdown in the Russian transport service,
which not only disorganized the movement of troops
to and from the front but cut of food from the peo
pie, was the climax to long ksfies of inefieiencies
Courageous men in and out of the Duma saw that
Russia could not continue with the incompetents
and the corruptionists in the saddle
And so they rose, these liberals and their follow
ers. in revolution which will go down in history
with the French revolution as a tremendous splen
did. stirring assertion of the rights of humanity
Thanks TO circumstances, the. Russian revolution
has been virtually bloodless. The army, which has
always been loyal to Russia but not to the bureau
Gratis, gladly joined the march of nation to free,
dom of the soul. Garrisons lent their strength
Men who for years have faced death to advance the
liberal program needed lessons in selfcontrol nor
in organization of a new military.civi government
Thus the revolution was accomplished.
VIVA the Developments will be it is impossible to
say, but constitutional government in Russia has
leaped ahead. 1t may swing PARKWAY back but it
will never stay back
In the Reichstag yesterday Won Bethmann-H oll
veg announced that after the war there will be a
reorganization togve the people greater share in
government. This is not only prophetic it is sgni-
ficant The Russian revolt unquestionably will have
a profound influence in every monarchy, constitu-
tional autocratic Germans, too, are restless as
they see their mammoth sacrifices apparently made
in vain. 1t is probable that the shrewd chancellor
already knowing of the Russian revolt, took this
means to give the Germans pledge of more liberal
government for themselves
Free peoples everywhere may well rejoice that
autocracy has been overthrOwn in Russia. 1t is "a
milestone in the worlds march,

What The Businessmen Propose


What has enoved the Chamber of Commerce to
form lighting pIalanxr for new city charter is
the attitude 4 some members of the Oahu delegation
Members of the chamber nave said that in work
ing out new charter they are looking to the wishes
Of the people, the voters"
What the chamber proposes to do is to show that
people, voters are backing the amendments which
the chamber urges.
The backing is TO be shown in a graphic form
through Committee Of one hundred, and the COM
mittee has asked that an opportunity may be pre-
sented to place its declaration of views before the
legislature The presentation is to take the graphic
form of visit to the Capitol by the entire one hun

A few nights.ago apublic hearing was held at the
Capitol upon the new charter. Seventy.fve per
cent of those present businessmen favorng the
chambers attitude. All of the speakers but one
backed the chambers views
Yet certain members of the Oahu delegation have
continually referred to "the people the voters as
though there were some vast, definite body which
had spoken in favor of the convention charter and
against the chambers amendments.
At the only public hearing the chamber was
strongly represented and its amendments were

demanding constitutional government have grown in
power in influence in ability and in political adroit
ness.
Until the war broke out, they conld do little but
protest. The bloody reactionaries were in the sad
die, and the people, falling into truly terrible
tional vice of drink, could not be awakened and
knit into>a fighting force. And when the war did
break out the inevitable internal struggle was de-
ayed because radical and reactionary alike joined
TO meet the common foe. -
For awhile the radical wing of the Duma was al
most silent. The Duma itself was hardly allowed
TO meet. Russia was absorbed in the campaigns
against Germany-campaigns in which the semi
religions, .semi-mystical patriotism of the Slavs
serted itself and gave to millions of dim, OBJ

Catholicism.
The world has never seen greater exhibitions of
patriotism than that of these millions Of Russians
who at the word of their leaders flung their lives
away at the Mazurian lakes at Riga, in the Carpa-

THE BURDEN OF THE POOR

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir: Among the poorer classes OF
people here in Honolulu should U. S.

cost of living is steadily increased
and the scale of wages is the same,
what should these people do? ..
Trouble would threaten, / guess,
especially those who have families
to support and it is no longer the
dream of olden times comes true,
that Christian and Christian would
fight for the sake of their, believe
youngs. And now, now the time comes
that people who hold q high position
such as emperors, kings, presidents,
governor and store managers should
realize that the poor are fighting for
their own, sake not because they love
their own Country. And it is for these
highly employed men or rich men
who own factories, such as eanneTies,
to think that those said poor are fight
ing for their wealth.
Now at this time all stores within
the city had double increased the cos,
of living that are needed mostly by
the poor, such as onions at first cost

Died Of Premature Old Age

How maay times We hear Of compara-
lively young persons passing away when
they should have lived 10 be 20 or so years
of age. This fatal work is usually attri-
buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys
degenerate, it causes auto-intexication.
The more injurious the poisons passing
thru the kidneys the qaicl.er will those
noble organs be deseneratcd, aud the
sooner they decay.
II is thus the wisest policy, TO prevent
premature Old age and promote long life,
10 Tighten the work of the kidneys This
san be done by drinking plenty Of pure
water all day long, aud occasionally tak-
ing a little Anuric before me,ils Tais
can be obtained at almost any drug store
You will find Anuric more potent than
