Incapable of Governing

To sneak Of a government by such a
faction is Dalpable absurdity. Even
In Russia L is impossible. And the
Bolsbevik leaders themselves know 1t.
The day before / left Petrograd, in a
friendly argument with one OF the Boil
shevik leaders at their headquarters,
IN the Smolny Institute, ! told him that
7 hoped the Bolshevik would take over
the government, demonstrate their
complete incompetence 20 represent
Russian democracy. and bring the party
as 4peedilv as possible into the dis
credit which il deserved.
"Ah." he said, but we don't wish
10 govern Or 10 have any responsible
itv. Frankly. we don't know how. But
what we want is for the bourgeois 10
govern and TO discredit themselves
That explains the Bolshevin purpose
and the Bolshevih power in sentence.
Their function is one Of obstruction.

But give the Bolshevik power and
responsibility and a chance 70 demon

what the remedy for the country.s MS
is and their movement automatically
collapses.
The Bolsheviki controlled Petrograd
for three DAYS during the July upris-
ing. The affair was In many ways as
serious as the present revolt. Ihere
was no government. There were no
government troops in the streets Inc
Bolsheviki owned the city. Then me

Collapse Inevitable
The Bolsheviki are stronger than

strong enough to dominate Russia.
Their collapse is inevitable, and when

ADVERSE DECISION ON
CHILD LABOR LAW
TO SUPREME COURT

Washington, Sept. 1.-The govern
ment will at once appeal the decision
of Judge Boyd in the Greensboro. S. c.,
federal court, in holding the federal
child labor law unconstitutional. 1t
probably will be expedited to get it be-
fore the supreme court at the coming
fall term.
lnasmuch as a contest was to be
expected, officials are not concerned
over the decision by lower court, as
it serves as the vehicle for appeal and
speedy determination of the question
before the highest court of the land.
Department Of justice officials have
no doubt Of the constitutionality of the
law, and are confident that many de
cisions of the supreme court point to q
victory for the government.
