WHY RUSSIA WANTS REPUBLIC
Any Other Form Of Government Would
Present Many Difficulties, II
Not impossible.

A last point to which I wish to call
attention Is that from the first hour
OF the revolution the republican idea
made extraordinary progress In the
minds Of all classes, writes captain
x" In Scribner's. I live among Rus.
slams and could therefore watch its
growth day BY day. Men Of letters
and men Of business, merchants, Hnan.
ciers, lawyers, professors saw them,
one after another, come to the same
way Of thinking. For the first weeks
It seemed impossible to many Of a
conservative turn Of mind that there
should be a Russian republic. They
said:
Our country Is not ripe for one.
Think Of all the hard experiences
which you French went through before
the republic was really at home in
France, and yet your people are high.
ly developed, while ours are not" And
so on. These same men have now
come round, little by little. to the re-
publican idea. One reason is that
any other form Of government would
present many difficulties, II. indeed, II
Is not impossible. The Romanoff dy.
nasty is discredited. to say the least I;
It Is not conceivable that It should be
reinstated. and there are no other
available aspirants to the throne. even
supposing that the nation wished to
return to a monarchy.
Anyone who' feels inclined to pro.
nounce judgment upon the Russian
revolution should bear this In mind !;
the old regime was so detestable that
any new one, even II far from perfect,
cannot be worse. From the military
point Of view, which Is of course what
is most interesting to Russia's allies,
the former system, or want Of It, had
80 disorganized the whole country that
1t was becoming more and more diff
cult to carry on the war. It Is hard
to see how now either the Russians or
we Of the allies can suffer by the
change. because what has been thrown
away was absolutely worthless. That
should always be In our minds when
we are inclined to criticize Russia, in
order that we may keep our proper
mental perspective and see things a.
they really are.

RAYMER GIRLS WIN
OVER GROVER GIRLS

On Saturday night the boys and
girls of the high school played their
first game OF basketball this season
with Grover. To say 1t mildly they
wwere holyy contestd from start to
finish. The girls won their game
by score OF Is to /, which we
think does not quite tell the way
our girls outplayed their opponents
They played real basketball from the
time the first whistle blew till the
time keeper stopped them at the last
Not only did they played the game
and played 1t clean, only three fouls
were called on them in the entire
game and these technical. With all
due respect for the Grover team, for
they had a little or no no help In in
terpreting the rules. they did make
a lot OF errors and commit a lot OF
fouls-more than were called, and
mostly personal. They were game
but out-played. We cannot commend
any one player more than another
for the victory we scored. for every
member OF the team did her part.
rhe guards prevented the baskets
throwers OF the opposing team from
throwing basket. and the forwards
broke well and did their respective
parts towards piling up the scoore
and all who were there know the
shooting baskets and placing the ball.
While the boys were not as for
tunate as the girls and lost their
game. We think this Is no discred-
1t to them for their opponents were
quite their superlors in size and ex-
perience. tho not in playing. We
still content that we know more
about the game than do the victors.
The final score was 48 to 10 and
in fair measure shows the way we
were walked on. Those fellows were
just too high up in the air for us,
and did just the think they should
have been called for. and that is they
held their short opponents of with

"In the middle ages there was
william known as Machiaveli who sold
his services to the highest bidder

some petty prince of his day his
capabilities.
"For political villiany he wrote
little book called the Prince which
has been in all ages denounced for
it's infamous doctrines. The chief OF
these doctrines was that king had
no moral obligations and that polit-
ical expediency was the sole guide.
Promises and words of honor were
but scraps Of paper, according to his
teachings This book received the
careful consideration Of Frederick the
Great and although with great duplic-
ity he astirized 1t, yet he adopted Its
principles as his course Of conduct.
For example, when he had just brok'

Dedicated to conquest.
From 1870 to the present time,
Germany has been an armed camp
dedicated to the cause OF world con-
quest. All but universal military
service has been in vogue. The
Young men who were being called to
the colors in 1870 were old men be-
coming unfit for military service
some forty-five years later. Thus
the whole manhood Of Germany OF
every age In any manner suited to
military service was forthwith train.
ed and the time was ripe for world
conquest. in about the year Of our
Lord 1914. With all Of the subserv-
fence OF the German people to their
rulers, they had yet to be educated
in the brutal art Of war. Their SEN
sibiltties had to be dulled still furth-
er. The time was ripe to make
known to the people code Of ethics
that had long prevailed in the house
OF Hohenzollern.
"The principal rules in that code
were to the effect that the state has
no conscience; that christianity is
only applicable in its teachings to
private individuals and its tenets can
not affect the state: with the state.
