Pot and Kettle.

There is a proverb much heard now
adays that we never could see the sense
of, 1.-The pot can't call the kettle black"
Why not we should like to know? The
kettle is black 1t ought to be called
black Who has better right to speak
with confidence about the faults of the
kettle than the pot, which has for years
hung on the same crane and inhaled
the same smoke? If there is anything
that would make the pot seem less
sooty in our eyes it is giving US clear
reflection of the image of the kettle.
Shall no one point out blackness any
where unless he knows himself to be
speckless? Would the pot rise in our
estimation if it followed the custom
Of it's critics and said, The kettle is
white, as white as l am?'-Independ-

WaIk For HeaIth.

A state board of health advises:
take time to walk-or make time to
walk. Tae .ernicious habit Of hopping
on a trolley car 10 so block or two
robs many OF tt. necessary health pre-
serving exercise they should have.
Walk for health
The recommendation is sound, but
why should those who ride i'll automo-
biles be left out? The inveterate users
Of motorcars need to be told to walk
more quite as much as the rest of us.
Nowhere is the riding habit easier to
acquire than where an automobile is at
beck and call. Even the workers who
deem the trolley car a necessity would
often be advantaged by keeping their
nickels in their own pockets and there
by inviting more physical and mental
vigor. We are all sinners when it comes
to the failure to keep in touch with the
open.-Springfield Republican.

RUSSIA'S FUTURE.

If Russia survives this revolutionary
shock and her people go along their ways
as usual after the excitement has sub
sided, it will be an earnest of great
things for one Of the most promising ma
tions of the whole world. The revolution
undoubtedly means the assumption of
more power and authority by the people
and the attendant reduction of the arbi
trary power and authority of the throne,
which follows the inevitable trend OF
world sentiment despite the efforts of
monarchial heads to assert that democra-
cies, the governments by the people, are
not successful. 1t is more than probable
that the present uprising by the people,
led by the Duma, will mean the adoption
of some form of government patterned
somewhat closely after that of Great
Britain. with a ruler of some name at
the nominal head OF the government but
with vast deal OF authority vested in
the legislative department of the govern
ment That such a development would
be far better for Russia than complete
jump to government by the people di
rectly Is a natural conclusion in the light
Of the Russian temperament and the
Russian ineffieiency Of the present day.
The great majority of Russian people
have been kept in virtual ignorance Of
the affairs Of the world and they have
not, therefore, had the training which
viii fit them for having complete and
final control Of government. Russia with
her huge masses Of population needs 10
approach democracy by easy stages lest
the entire nation be thrown into a vast
maelstrom OF political injustice

REVOLT PLEAsES WASHINGTON.
Officials in Highest Circles Rejoice Over
Turn of Affairs in Russia.

officials in Highest Circles Rejoice Over
Turn of Affairs in Russia.
Washington, D. c., March l7.-No
country on earth will rejoice with great
er heartiness than the United States over
the triumph of democracy in Russia. if
one is TO judge by the comment nniver-
| sally heard here in the highest official
circles Now that the pro- German ele-
ment in Russia has been overthrow and
the conduct of the war will be in the
hands of the representatives of the peo-
pie, it is believed that all danger of a
disintegration of the allies has been re-
moved.
The question of recognition of the new
government by the United States may
prove an exceedingly interesting one, If
President Wilson is to continue along
the line of the principle he has laid out
to govern our relation with the Latin
American countries. He has informed
the revolutionists of Costa Rica, for ex-
ample, that no government there will be
recognized which was founded on revo-
luton, and he has emphasized his I'M
willingness to recognize the Tinoco gov
eminent in that particular case by de
claring in an official letter that recogni-
ton must be refused because the new
government came in as the interruption
of a term" As matter of fact. the
president of Costa Rica was impeaehed
in legal form, and the new provisional
chief, Tinoco, is awaiting a legal cleo
tion. The provisional government of
Russia assumes Office under identicallv
the same circumstances as have many of
the Latin American governments whom
the president has signified his intention
OF refusing to recognize Indeed, the
actual bloodshed incident to the Russian
revolution appears to have been greater
than in some of the opera bouffe turn
overs which have added to the gayety Of
life in Latin. America.
