lethargic officials and imbecile
traditions. Vote FOR every meas
ure which substitutes scientific
efficiency for graft. But vote
down every measure which exalts
efficiency for profit above life.
Initiate and vote for measures
that free the woman, the child,
dc adult male worker. Initiate
Ind vote for measurers that spend
honey on schools. We must spend
more money on schools, twice as
much as now, ten times as much,
hundred times as much Squeeze
the money lords dry to build free
schools. Brood over the posi-
blities of good schooling for
yourselves and children. Dream
over it. Long for it, Imagine
what the world might be with
education doing for everybody
what it did for Helen Keller. Cut
off the parasites. As soon as
peace comes, cut off the army.
Cut off the navy Cut off the
airplanes, And spend the money
on schools. 1t is the school
that must generate the emanci-
pating psychology which shall
break the path into the new
world.
And comrades, organize. Leave
out none but parasites. The world
will never be reconstructed as
long as workers fight workers.
The new time will never come as
long as any of us take sides with
the spoilers. II will never come
until we vote solidly for life
against money. Never mind about
jingo nationalism. Never mind
about college professors stale
economics. Never mind about
master, priest or politician. Or
ganize and stand together n
united front. One mind, one
hope. one aim. Make the right
Of one the right of all, the wrong
of one the wrong of all. Admit
no fears. Believe that new
world can be created. Believe
that the workers can create it,
and out of your faith shall grow
contamination. Expect nothing
but what you do for yourselves.
Put shoulder to shoulder. Join
hand to hand. The time has
come for the fruition of infinite
hope. The old system has com
mitted suicide. Its structure is
shattered, it's faith is palsied, it's
Gods are dead. Brothers, the
new world lies before us immense,
beautiful, rich. Shall we pull up
stakes and march? Shall we be
pioneers Shall we move out
upon the golden prairies, as our
fathers did before us, and take
them for our own? The world
is ours. We are the heirs of
the dead system. Are we men
enough to seize upon our in
heritance

When Gen. Oberoueheff was sent 10
prison the first time he was 26. He SAYS
he will always be grateful to the Czarist
Government for certain benefits derived,
incidentally of course, from his incareera-
ton. In the first place, he was allowed
to wander at will through history and
philosophy. Here he read in the English,
French, Russian and German, though
before that he knew Shakespeare, and
could quote whole passages. from the lin

When he was a boy he was brought
up to knit and embroider, as his brother
was older. and he had to be taught by
mother, sister and aunt The Oberoueheff
family was fond of the theatre, and one
evening they were seeing performance
of Hamlet by celebrated Russian
actor of the time. In anticipation the

worked in eolors and depicting a lien in
his most lordly posture, head thrown back
and name bristling. During the entr'aete
he made his way to the actors dressing
room and timidly presented his work.
Gen. Oberoucheff says now that except
one this was the happiest moment Of his
life. OF the other, more presently. But
the actor embraced him, and I think they
both wept in the Russian way, as without
tears and laughing there is no real en-
joyment, and then the actor hurriedly
wrote an affectionate inscription upon his
own photograph for his "loved friend
Kosta Oberoucheff." His sister, Sonia,
so far as he knows, has the picture to
this day.
Talked Through the Walls.
Beside reading in prison he struck up
acquaintance with his next door neighbor;
they tapped off their communications,
using the alphabet arranged in four rows.
The number of taps indicating the row
and the number of the letter. BY this
tedious method, in general use in Russian
prisons, they carried on a pleasant con-
versation.
Not satisfied with talking they made
chessboards. They had lead pencils and
made their boards on the tops Of their
tables, each in his own cell. For whole
day they furtively toiled, hiding their
work from the gendarme, who had the
annoying habit Of peerng in at the most
unexpected moments. All day they worked
and at twilight when they had eaten their
black bread and tea the game COM
menced. 1t was even more interesting
than they had imagined; so much so that
they forgot caution and the gendarme
descended upon them, and destroying
their boards forbade them to play again,
threatening some terrible punishment.

seems to show him deficient in communal
practice!
He SAYS this part of America reminds
him of Switzerland, in which he, like most
Russians, has spent much time, banished
by the gendarmes TO roam the narcissus
fields or TO scale the mountain peaks as
the humor strikes them.
Now he said, "they told me that in
Switzerland they wanted ones money;
nothing else. The same thing they told
me about America. But l find in Amer

hot heart toward the poor"
We had gone one day to sit in field
from which We had glorious view of the
Sound covered with white caps; of the
green wooded hills with few white cot
tages showing, and swallows darling after
insects like aviators exhibiting their stunts.

new experience to Russian. Sitting in

lives"
Went to Artillery Academy.
At an early age he was sent to the
Artillery Academy in Petrograd, and in
1888, when an instructor and an officer
in the academy, with other officers he at
tempted to organize a socialist society
Of the time called "The will of the peo-
pie" He was engaged to Olga Feodo-
rovna, later his wife He told her he was
now liable to arrest. But she, being a
true Russian woman, was as resigned at
the prospect Of having her husband in
prison as the Cossacks' womenfolk are to
having them go to war. So they were
married.
After six months, in 1899, Oberoucheff
was arrested and put in the fortress of
Peter and Paul in Petrograd, where they
then lived. But on their wedding journey
to his native city, Kiev, they had visited
Shevschenkov's tomb, and had, according
to the Ukrainian custom, left there
towel, embroidered with red and black
silk. This he found there last year, with
many others, for Shevschenkov, he says,
was a martyr to freedom. Indeed, he
says, freedom would have come sooner
had the rest of the people espoused its
cause as vigorously as the literary men.
One summer day, when Russis's pros
poets were less bright than now, the Gen
eral sat on the veranda, reading eagerly
with the aid of his dictionary Henry
James's Toargenef. lie said that before
he found James he did not know how rich
the English language really is. But this
passage, quoted from Tourgenieff, he read
with great delight:
I'm days of doubt, in days of anxious
thought on the destiny of my native land,
thou, alone, are my support-and my
staff. Oh, great, powerful Russian tongue,
truthful and free! If it were not for

But the courage and deep affection of
this household must remind all who see
it that there are finer things in tins world
than any art can ever be.
No Word From Family for Months.
Gen. Oberoucheff would say of this:
at is life" And in his ease it is not
idle, comfortable moralizing. For he has
not heard from his family, who lived in
Kiev, for eight months, and does not
know if they live or not. But he goes
about his everyday life, now writing,
now speaking, in the hope of doing some
little service for Russia, his loved country.
One would never mention first the place
Gen. OberOucheff has had in the world.
In Westport, where he has lived this sum
mer land which he says ought to be re-
named Painterport because only artists
appear to live here, the people think of
him first as a picturesque, kindly figure.
Workingmen on-the street or in remote,
grass grown pathways as they are going
home from their toll stop to speak with
him, feeling instinctively that they have
found friend. They tell him Of their
families, their work and their hopes.
And those who know him well under
stand why this is; he is so gentle, so I'M
pretentious, SO sympathetic with all the
cares which come to any human being.
Then no one can be merrier over a cup
Of good tea or take greater joy in an
exquisite landscape or beautiful piece of
literature.
Gen. Oberoueheff (who never once
donned the insignia of this high Office and
prefers to be called Mister was mill

under the Provisional Government. In
that Office he had about 10000, 900 of peo-

for writing for Russian newspapers and
magazines.
