Only WAY 10 Aid Russia

The argument of John SparEO OF
Bennington for struggling Russia is
entitled to respectful consideration,
as Mr. Spargo is a socialist who has
refused to follow his socialist friends
into the wilderness of Bolshevism
and anarchy. 1t is when he calls mp
on the United States to aid in bringing
Russia under a reasonable and respon-
sible government that we fail to fol-
low him.
All thoughtful students OF the prob
lem must agree with Nj Spargo when
he saws that there will be no perman-
ent freedom in Russia until the coun-
try is governed by a constituent as
senbly. made up of freely elected and
fully protected freemen of the state,
but meanwhile there is no chance OF
seeing such an assembly so long as
the brutal tyranny of Lenine and the
Bolshevik dictatorship prevails. The
fact is, as Mr. Spargo points out, that
such an assembly was ruthlessly crush
ed and suppressed the moment it re-
fused to do the will of the arrogant
usurpers who had taken possession of
the government.
Like most other special pleaders for
Russia, Mr.. Spargo calls upon the
United States to help Russia, but
how? Are we to send money food
and supplies to be seized and wasted
by the greedy soviets who are merely
tools of Lenine? Are we to enter on
a series of notes" for the edification
and amusement of that murderous and
kultured dictator? Are we to send
lecturers into Russia to be imprison
ed and prosecuted by Lenine?
Presenting that we are willing to
make sacrifices for a people whose
own persistent folly has brought about
existing conditions, how are we to dc
it? Mr. Spargo is very earnest and
but. like most other ad
vocates of Russia, he becomes rather
vague when he approaches that defn
lie and all-important point.

purpose of more than doubling tn
cost of sugar in every American home

All the time refined sugar is being
rushed out OF the country in ship

wives are denied the privilege of buy

halt--on the exporting so disastrous

My dear Ward:

My dear Ward:
1t happened in Milwau-
kee. The snow and sleet
had been making war upon
the fur-clad people of the
street but the elements
had ceased their lombard
ment, the sun shimmered in
the western sky and the tall
snow-covered buildings lift
ed themselves as altar
stairs to heaven.
Looking across Water
street | saw a poor, crippl-
ed newsboy. His face was
wan, his clothes were torn;
one hand held some news
papers, the other hand was
useless, while the same par
alysis was seen in his feet
and knees which made
walking slow and difficult.
People were complaining
about delayed street cars
seemed too anxious to get
home to pay attention to
the newsie, who pleadingly
looked into THEN. faces, 81
lently saying: please buy
a paper"
Something in his big
brown eyes attracted me
and | went over to him,
gave him a nickel for which
he gave me the paper. a
smile and a "thank YOU"
asked if it had been q good
day for business, he said: 81
only sold thirty cents worth
today" but his face bright
ened as he added, 81 sold a
dollars worth yesterday
"This weather must be
bad for you" l remarked,
to which he replied: mo,
not much, and there's a lot
of folks worse off than
me-"
"How can that be-" I
asked as | looked at his sad
deformity and helplessness.

terday that | was so glad |

his hand toward a marble

| talked with him about
his home, said Goodbye"
and went away thinking of
the sermon of cheerfulness
and content he had just
preached to me, who had
been annoyed because of a
couple hours delay from a
late train.
AS I thought more of the
little fellow and his philoso-
phy it made me glad that
for so many years in the
store we had striven to
make trading a pleasure for
our people. While profit is
the principal thing we are
in business for don't for a
lose sight of the fact
that the comfort and con-
tentment of our trade is
really of as much value as
the profit on their pur-
chase.
