THE Demands
Il of Bolshevisnn

Boshevism stands for the immediate
inauguration Of socialism. The term
Bolshevism was first used in 1903 at a
convention of the Russian Social Demo
cratic party, when upon a test vote the
party divided between the majority and
the minority. The majority party was
nicknamed the "Bolshevik" and the
minority the "Menshevik," the terms be-
ing derived from the Russian words Boil
shlnstvo and Menshinstvo, meaning, re-
spectlvely, majority and minority.
Prior to the rise of Bolshevism. the
Socialist movement throughout Europe
had taken on a somewhat moderate, op-
portunist character. The leaders of the
majority Socialist party in the different
states pursued a policy of compromise
and cooperation with other political
parties and with existing institutions
The socialism that they represent was
evolutionary and educational in charac-
ter. They admitted that the masses
were not yet ready for the introduction
OF the socialized organization of industry
and believed that the establishment of
socialism must wait upon a process of
educational and preparatory propaganda.
The BolsheWsts rejected this Fabian
type Of socialism. They demanded that
Inc soclaistic state be installed at once;
VnaC the ownership of land and capital be
transferred Immediately from the exist
ing proprietors to the working masses,
ana that revolutionary tactics be substi-
'uted for educational propaganda and
political compromise.
The Bolshevist programme has actual
" been carried into effect, at least in
large part, throughout Russia. 1t is not
generally known that to-day the indus
'ries OF Russia are already socialized; that
private capital has been appropriated,
and that both manufacture and agricult-
ure are conducted by organizations Gre
aed and controlled by workers them
selves.
ihe process by which the transition
rom the capitalistic to the socialistic
.Sslme took place in Russia is extremely
a'eresting. The movement started

Ut REQUIRES degree of assurance
bordering on effrontery to attempt
any social forecast or prediction in
times like the present. Things are
happening so fast, changes are following
so rapidly one upon the heels of another,
upheavals in the social order are so fire.
quent and recurrent, that he who would
play the role of a sociological prophet
finds the task one of enormous difficult
ties. Herbert Spencer once remarked
that no one is wise enough to prescribe
the course that society will take; in these
days no one is wise enough even to guess
at it with any feeling of confidence Ac-
cordingly, this effort to appraise roughly
some of the conditions, tendencies and
indications that may throw light on the
prospects of a Bolshevist uprising in the
United States is submitted with no pre-
tension to scientific accuracy and tinallty.
Before considering the question as to
the likelihood of the spread of the Boil
shevist movement in this country, it may
be we'll to inquire precisely what Boil
shevism is. There seems to be deal of
ignorance and misapprehension concern
ing this subject on the part of Ameri-
cans. In general. Bolshevism is simply
a Russian phase of revolutionary SOCIAL
ism. The essence of socialism is the pro
posal to substitute for the present indus
trial system, based on private ownership
ofcaptal, individual enterprise and per-
sonal responsibility for the maintenance
of ones self and family, new order
founded on the collective ownership of
all material instruments Of production
and distribution, public enterprise and
social responsibility for the maintenance
of all individuals brought into the world.
The Socialists propose that private COM
peting capital shall be transformed into
one collective social capital. The wealth
produced through socialized industry
would then be distributed according to
some fixed standard or principle of re-
enumeration, not by way of free competi-
ton as at present. Concerning the
method of distribution that should be
adopted Socialists are not agreed, some
favoring equality, either absolute or ap-
proximate others advocating remunera-
ton according to services rendered, and
others favoring the apportionment of the
social product according to needs Under
a socialistic regime all railroads and
other agencies of transportation and
communication, all factories, farms and
Mines all banks, mercantile establish
ments and insurance companies would be
owned and operated by the state, or So
ciety, acting through agencies created
for this purpose, and all workers would
be employed and remunerated by such
collective agencies.

Lightning at Sea.

When proper precautions are taken
ships at sea are in no danger Of being
destroyed by lightning. Of all the dan
gers that beset the seaman, lightning
is the only one that he can guard
against with perfect thoroughness.
Permanent conductors, properly ar
ranged, offer the most complete pro-
lection from the electric fluid.
Before this fact was well under
stood, lightning was a very frequent
cause of damage to shipping. In 1908
to 1915 no fewer than seventy vessels
of the English navy were entirely Grip
pied by being struck. 1t was q no I'M
common thing for vessels to be set on
fire so completely by lightning as to
defy extinction, with the result that
those on board who were not killed by
the electric discharge in many in
stances probably lost their lives
through being unable to let down the
boats before the fire reached them.

EXPLAINS POISONING BY FOOD
Science Has Discarded Theory, Long
Held, That Ptomaines Are the
Cause of Infection.

Poisoning by food is no longer ex-
planned as "ptomaine poisoning" but
in an address to the American AssO-
citation for the Advancement Of Science,
DR.. e. o. Jordan showed that it is due
either to true bacterial toxins compare
BILE to those Of diphtheria and tetanus
bacilli, or to infection with specific in
lection carried by the food article. The
best known example of the tOxin-form-
ing microbes is the bacillus botulinus,
which has produced in the United
States % recorded cases of poisoning,
of which IL were in California, while
Great Britain has reported no case.
This type of poisoning is rare, but in
lection with food-borne disease bac-
terra seems to occur in q great number
of cases. The bacteria are either pres
ent in the food itself, or the food is
contaminated from human sources.
The chief food-borne infections hfth-
ertO traced to human contamination
are typhoid fever and the various
paratyphOid infections; but to these
must be added certain infections rare
ly transmitted by any food except
milk, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever,
and streptococcus sore throat. The
type of infection from food contain
mated at it's source is eXemplified in
the diseases of certain food animals.
The chief infections known to be due
to food infected at it's source are those
mainly meat-borne-caused by the
group of paratyphoid enteritidis bac-
terra, and those resulting from the use
of infected milk The bacterial dis
eases Of plants do not infect man.

GREAT WRITERS NEAR DUEL
ToIstoy and Turgenev in Fierce Dis
pute That Might Have Led to
Deadly Encounter.

TOlstoy and Turgenev, famous Rus
sian nOveliStS, were contemporaries
and friends, but on one occasion they
had a serious falling out. AS gathered
from a recent biography, this is the
story of their quarrel: The two ia
mouse noyelists met at friends house.
Turgenev spoke enthusiastically OF
his young daughters new English gov
erness, mentioning that she required
the child to mend old, ragged clothes
to give to the poor. do you consider
that goOd?" demanded TolstOy. II GER
tainly do,' replied Turgenev; sit makes
the charity workers realize everyday
needs" "And I think that a we'll
dressed girl with filthy, malodorous
rags in her hands is acting an insincere
farce" commented Tolstoy. II ask
you not to say that" exclaimed Tur-
genev, holly. "Why should | not say
what l am convinced is true?" retOrted
Tolstoy eff you say that again will
box your ears!'' Turgenev cried, white
with rage, and rushed from the room.
A duel was narrowly averted. After
ward these famous men became rec
onciled, and on his deathbed Turgenev
wrote an affecting note to Tolstoy, adj
dressing him as "the great writer of
our Russian land."-OutlOok.

Chinese Queues Not Barred.

Although the traffic in human hair
has not been so brisk during the past
few years as formerly on account Of
the veering of the fashions in hair
dressing toward the EXTREMIST simple
ity, there are millions of pounds of
human hair exported from China. One
of the peculiar facts in connection
with the trade is that often after the
Chinese send the hair to us we treat
it and dye it and send it back to be
made up for special use. This is usual
ly true in regard to the invisible hair
nets which American and European
women use to keep their own locks
in order on a windy day.
The hair-net business has become of
great Importance to the province of
Shantung, which now provides practic-
ally the entire supply for the market.
Thus the hair net worn by the veriest
stay-at-home in America has doubtless
crossed the ocean three times.-Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

DEFENDS LOWER BIRTH-RATE
Writer in Leading Scottish Publication
Sees No Cause for Alarm in
Its Continuance.

This is the rule of evOlutiOn-few6r
and more careful parental care. Wher-
ever one looks in the animal kingdom
he finds that rule working, writer in
the Edinburgh Review points out.
Among fishes, species that exhibit
no sort of parental care, the average
of 40 gives 100000 eggs to a female
each year; while among those which
make nests or any apology for nests
the number is only about 10000.
Coming down through human history
one finds the same law working.
Among savage or semiciviliZed peoples
the birthrate is very high, as is also
the deathrate through enemies and dis
ease. But as fast as civilization makes
it's influence felt, the RESULTS seen in
lowered birthrate, accompanied by
better care of the fewer children who
are born.
Havelock Ellis recently pointed out
most ready and eager for war-Ger-
many, Russia, Serbia, Austria-are the
countries of highest birthrate, and
hence of greatest economic pressure.
And he adds: "Those who would seek
to restore the birthrate of half a CEN
fury ago are engaged in task which
would be criminal if it were not based
on ignorance and which is in any case
fatuous.''

Heart Pumps 70 Gallons Every Hour

The heart weighs only half pound,
and it must pump 70 gallons of blood
through the human system every hour,
or, as Joseph Jackson in the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger estimates, 1905
600 gallons each year
1t has the power to propel the blood
through the arterial system at the
rate of 621 feet minute and this
means that the blood requires about
q seconds in an adult to make COM
plete circuit of the blood vessels. Be
ing pumped over and over again, the
blood travels a distance of 81 900 miles
in a year, or more than twice the cir
conference of the globe. The hurried
man abuses it SO constantly that the
increase in deaths from heart dis
eases are enormous. The remedy is:
more exercise; less hurry; and more
careful eating.

Knitting. Revived Art.

Knitting, as a handicraft, almost
universal among our grandmothers,
and now being revived by women all
over the world received it's death
blow from the invention of Isaac Wiz
an Lamb, who was born in Salem,
Mich, about IS years ago.
Lambs invention of the knitting
machine, the first perfected apparat-
us of it's kind, transformed the art of
knitting from a home occupation to a
great manufacturing industry. His
machine is capable of producing more
than 80 varieties of knit goods and
makes 1000 loops a minute at ordi-
nary speed, turning out both fiat and
tubular work Later inventors have
worked improvements in the process.
AS one result Of the war knitting
needles are again in vogue, and their
click may now be heard in the homes,
In the theaters, in the street cars and
every other place. In all probability,
however, home knitting will pass with
the years.

CRUELTY NOT Feminine VICE
Unfair to Lay Individual Cases OF
ThougE1ttcsareas at the Door Of
the Entire Sex.

An official Of the New York Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Ami
mails complains Of ''cruel women who
come to the meetings of the society
wearing aigrettes Of the pIuInage of
birds that are obtained by the slaugh-
ter Of the mother bird and the starva-
ton Of the brood
On this solid foundation Of fact one
might feel secure in concluding that
women are, as a sex, more cruel than
men.
All eyes have seen the women with
the bird on her hat. She wears this
particular badge of her cruelty where
it cannot escape being seen and for the
sole reason that it may be seen.
But is it not unfair to condemn WOm-
en- as utterly cruel because of this one
fault? After all, it is not SO much a
fault as frailty. WOmen's vanity is
an Overpowering passion. and it they
must feed it upon the plumage OF
slaughtered birds, are they any worse
than men who glut their greed upon
the fruits of others life-crushing toll!
Cruelty is really very lnfrequent
vice among women. Even birdWearing
is far from being universal among
them. 1t is impossible not to remem-
Der that the whole structure of the
mCyCt"ont on behalf of humanity to all
creatures Which has reached greater
proportions in this country than in any
other, is founded in the first instance
on the tender-heartedness of American
women. 1t would be interesting to
know how for the S. 2. G. A. movement
would ever have progressed but for
the inspiration and enthusiasm that
have come from women.-ChriStian
