PRINCIPLES OF BOLsHEvIsM

People who have been trying.
without much success. to learn pre-
cisely what Bolshevism stands for,
may derive enlightenment from the
statement of Dr.. OudendijiS. Dutch
minister in Petrograd AS interview
ed by the London Times, he says:
Translated into practice, the five
points Of Bolshevisrn really come to
this: % High wages; CD don't
work: CD take other peoples prop
erty; (4) no punishment; (5) no tax
ation.''
He speaks from long acquaintance
and careful observation Of the old
regime and the new Re has known
Russia for 80 years. And as q result
of more than q year Of Bolshevsnn.
"never have the working classes Of
Russia suffered as they are suffering
at the present moment. I have never
seen o. Dreamed Of the possibility Of
such corruption, TYRANNY and the alo-
sence of all semblance OF freedom as
there are in Russia at the present
moment
He concludes that the future Of
Russia is hopeless. But surely there
IS nope even in the extremity Of such
an evil situation. y social and po-
litical disease when it becomes bad
enough tends to cure itself Surely
the Russian masses will understand,
sooner or later. the origin of the evils
they suffer, and repudiate the system
which is responsible before they
themselves are utterly destroyed. If
not, we are tempted to lose our faith
not merely in human nature but in
that common sense which is supposed
to be the heritage OF al races.

THE y. NJ. c. \.

To the great mass of thinking peo-
pie in this country, the attacks upon
the service of the y. NJ. c. A. abroad
will be a matter Of indignation and
regret. That the Y NJ. c. A. both
here and overseas rendered tre-
mendous service to our boys is un-
questionable.
OF course there were mistakes, and
since the undertaking was colossal
one. the mistakes may loom up with
,, propor,ionate bigness. But like every
other institution in this country, it
entered war service without oppor-
tunity for preparation it had TO learn
as II worked and learn in many cases
by is mistakes. The same thing is
true of every other institution and in
dividual in this country from presi-
dent to plumber.
Undoubtedly the men in the army
who suffered from Y. NJ. c. y. blurd-
ers were guilty Of blunders them
selves before they fully learned their
soldier business Yet who would
Judge our army by anything but its
! high standards and the success OF
+ its great majority in maintaining
them?
Before the Y. NJ. c. A. is adjudged
guilty it is entitled to fair hearing
to the testimony Of all the thousands
OF boys who found home in its huts
/ help in its diversions. who have stories
to tell that would thrill the heart OF
the courtesy. the bravery and the gen
crosby of the Y NJ c. A. men with
whom they came in contact.

SOCIALIST PRINCIPLES -

Victor Berger. former congressman
from Milwaukee, convicted Of violat-
ing the federal espionage act through
conspiracy to obstruct the govern
ments war program, declared in
court:
Il have done no wrong. I have
been living up to these principles for
81 years-.hose principles the jury
has seen fit to condemn. I cannot
account for the verdict
Here we have another evidence.
more striking than usual, Of the
strange blindness which seems to have
cone over so many Socialist leaders
during the war.
N9r. Berger has repeatedly defend
cd the sinking Of the Lusitania. He
regarded It as quite justifiable, ap-
parent,y, for Germany not only ,e
take up arms against her neish5o:s'
but to assassinate helpless noncom-
batantS when the German govern
ment happened to consider them as
standing in the way Of accomplish
ing its military purpose. And yet ne
has insisted that it was wrong for the
United States to raise an army to de-
fend itself against such German at
tacks OF American property, rights
and lives
The absurd conflict OF logic in suci
an attitude is evident. The curious
thing about it is that Socialists. OF
all men. should have thus champion
ed German aggression and violence
Needless to say, neither Victor Ber
ger nor any other Socialist Of any
repute preached for generation be-
fore the war, the right and justice O
such acts as the invasion Of Belgium
and the sinking Of the Lusitania.
Socialism made headway precisely
because it preached a gospel Of broth
erhood. justice, peace and good will t

GOOD GIVING.

Congress is mostly reported by ad-
verse criticism, and Justly so, yet oc-
casionally something gets done which
can be approved by the American
citizen without reference to party or
politics.
Of this nature is the Vocational Re
Mobilization Act. by which the care Of
our manned and disa bled soldiers be-
comes a federal undertaking. A fed

THE CoNQUERING PENNY.

The American people consumed,
last year, 3o7,Gl4,OOO pennies That
IS the numbe" minted and thrown into
circulation, to add to the quantity al
ready circulating. The total, if there
were any way of finding it out, would
certainly be an imposing figure, mas
much as no less than 1,00o,Oo0,00o
pennies had been minted in the pre-
vious ten years, and most of them are
probably still in use.
The fact that last years production
is three times the previous ten-year
average shows what an important
place the one-cent piece occupies in
our present coinage. # the humble
copper was scorned in pre-wor years
and in the early years Of the war, It
is scorned no longer Mounting prices
have only increased the demand for
it.
The principal cause Of the great
ly accelerated demand of late may
have been the payment of the many
small war taxes running into odd
cents; but a still stronger influence
has been the growing spirit Of thrift,
revealed in the fixing of odd prices for
commodities and in the claiming Of
small change by many who used to
scorn anything less than a nickel.
Even on the Pacific Slope the penny
has won recognition at last.

FRIENDLY NAv1Es.

An interesting British view of the
American plan for a larger navy is
that Of the. London Morning Post,
which says:
~ taThe proposal of the United States
sary Daniels to build more power
ful navy should be entirely welcome
to this country.
When Secretary Daniels talks of a
supreme American navy being neces-
sary if the peace conference fails to
agree on the limitation of armament,
he is quite right. We would go fur
ther and say that if America will
stand the expense. she would be well
advised TO keep strong navy in any
case. For the United States navy,
Ike the British navy, never has been
used and, we are assured, never will
be used, for purposes Of aggression.
This country would be glad to see
America relieving Great Britain OF
part of the heavy cost of insuring the
safety of sea communications for the
world; and whether that relief is af-
forded by the general limitation Of
ar1naments or the increased naval
power of the western republic is COM
paratively immaterial With our ey-
perience OF the cordial and vigorous
help of the United States during the
war, we feel that its increased
strength would provide the most pow
erful guarantee of peace"
This frank and friendly utterance
puts British sea power in quite a new
light from that in which most Amer
leans have been wont to regard it in
the past It appears that Britain has
really been maintaining her naval
supremacy not from pride, and not
merely for elf-protection even, but as
sort of white mans burden" in
behalf of civilization. This, Ameri-
cans now generally admit, has at
least been the result Of her naval su-
premacy in recent decades, whether
so intended or not. And now there IS
an unusual appeal to American self
respect and American ideals in this
encouragement Of plan which would
abolish the supremacy Of the British
feet by making ours it's equal or su-
perior-on condition that we share
It's responsibilities.
It is urgently to be hoped that the
peace conference will end in a uni
versal agreement to limit armament
which will make unnecessary the end
less spending Of vast sums on corn
petitive navies In that case we
might well bring our navy to equal
ity with Britain's, in order to enter
the international league and take up
the job of policing the seas on equal
terms If such consummation
fails, it might still be possible. by
friendly agreement with Britain, to
have two equal navies cooperating in
peace as they have in war for the
safety Of the world.

GOOD WORK WITH CAMERA
Explorers In Northwestern Canada
Have Photographic Studies Of
Wilderness Wild Life.

After a three years hunt with the
camera I'm the almost unknown Laird
river district In northwestern Canada,
H. A. Stewart and John Sonnickson
have come back TO civilization by way
of Peace river, Alberta, bringing sew
eral thousand Photographic studies of
the manners and customs Of the wild
life Of those remote woods and
streams. The explorers. for they well
deserve the name, worked into the
wilderness by way of Hudson's Hope
and the forks Of the Findlay and
Parsnlp rivers as far as Fort Ora
hame Their negatives illustrate the
habits of the ptarmigan. moose, beav-
er, Canadian wild geese and other an
finals and birds that have seldom been
observed with anything like thorough
ness by means of the camera. The
travellers had devices of various sorts
whereby their subjects were enticed
to spots upon which the hidden lenses
were focused; and upon reaching
these spots an ambushed camera man
snapped them by twitching long
cord attached to the lens shutter. A
single negative Of some specially shy
animal was often the only fruit Of
many hours Of patient waiting. Some
times for days the explorers would
watch single spot through their field
glasses awaiting the favorable mo-
ment TO shoot" But IL was all
worth it.
