Russia's Smoldering Fire.

Unless signs fail big events are impending in
Russia. Assassination of the former car, which
while fully substantated has been offc-
tally denied, and the recent Staying of Count
Mrbach German ambassador, probably not due
to casual outbreaks of violence. Taken together
they probably point to widespread agitation against
the present rule which has been long smolderng and
is just breaking into flame here and there.
It is conceivable that Russia is the verge
of experiences more terrible than it has yet passed
through and that the survivors who later will arise
from the ruins will come forth with a sense of
loyalty to their state ready to embrace the help of
the allies in freeing them from the tentaces of Ger
many.
Noting the trend of events the allies apparently

Helping Ourselves.

If and thereby better financial posi-
ton and at the same time help our government vii
the war are we deserving of credit? The edito
of the Duluth Herald thinks not In a recent editor
iaI he wrote:
When Uncle Sam asks US to save to help
win the he asks to do ourselves a great
favor; and yet, simply because the need is
great and the appeal urgent, and because the
nation pleads with us to do this simple thing
to the country, and to stick feathers in our
hats and go strutting around because we
granted it. It's patriotic all right. It helps
the country-not only now, but later; not only
for the war but for the trial of national fiber
that comes after the war-but it helps US even
more.
And it is so easy, so much more helpful
to ourselves than to the country, so small a
thing to do compared with what our boys in
arms doing that it really is a joke to pin
roses on ourselves for doing it.
We ought to do it. We must do it. But in
stead Of expecting Uncle Sam to decorate us
for heroism ought to get on our knees and
thank him for the opportunity of getting a
little sound sense pounded into last And
that goes as to the average individual, and as
to the nation and people whole.
