What About Russia?

We are all interested in the Rus
sian problem, because our boys are
UP there ir Russia and Siberia at
present; because there are those
crazy heads advocating Bolshevism
in this country.
A recent number of The New York
Times puts it pretty aptly when it
says:
They are making peace, or they are
going to make it, in Paris. They are
going to provide for the future peace
and security of the world. Meanwhile
in Russia, the warriors Of the most
fatal and brutal and selfish war in
the world are carrying on their cam
paign of cruelty and class. What that
war is we know too well. 1t does not
stop. 1t has no terms of treaty or
compromise. 1t has the merit of be-
ing absolutely ineligible. And we,
all the civilized nations, must not in
tervene. The Red Guards may drive,
they are near driving, the poor little
American force that is all we have
dared or cared to send, into the sea.
The Czechoslovaks we admire, but
must not help. The Governments of
Russians that have opposed the de-
liberate madness of the Leninites and
Trotzkyites we must not aid. What
is the sacred character of these sons
of murder that they must not be at
tackled? When great nation is held
helpless by an extreme minority, aid
ed by foreign mercenaries, why must
we not, why must not all the friends
of order and civilization, ''inter-
vene?" 1t may be too late now, but
last April it was not too late.
Was it the l. w. W., was it chaste
consideration of conscientious objec-
tors and what not, that kept us back?
We saw the blacklist murder, the
most deliberate permanent intentional
loot and rapine, the willed destruction
of all the intelligent and all the
thrifty, planned and done. But we
were restrained from doing anything
about it. There are sympathizers
with the Bolshevist type of revolu-
ton, apparently, that love its doings
and the conglomerated soapboxes OF
the world demand that Russia, ex-
plotted by intelligent madmen, shall
be left alone.
That intolerable cruelties and such
widespread works of destruction as
never before the world ha:
seen should go on, uncheck
ed, uncontrolled, in Russia, il
revolving to our sense of humanity
but we shouldn't interfere with "self
determination" or some other sacred
symbol of universal disaster. We mus
keep our hands off"
The Bolsheviki could have been pu
down, easily put down, six month
ago. We preferred to be kind t.
them. Not alone for harried Russia
but for civilization itself, attacked o.
the eastern border, and subtly or saw
agely assailed in every country b
the partisans of anarchy or class su
premacy, must this work of disoi
ganization be put down. 1t means tn
downfall of endurable economic an
social life. Are we to be so tende
to this company of scoundrels tina
is running Russia and the rest of til
world? They intervene with strike
and other weapons Of German pr.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

The first college for girls in North
America was the Colegio de la Paz,
which was opened in the City of Mex,
leo in 1867.
The United Women Voters of To-
ronto have petitioned for the ap-
pointment of woman judge in the
Juvenile Court of that city.
There were 100 colleges for men
in the United States when the first in
stitution Was established for the high
er education of women.
Business women of Regina, Sask.,
are considering the building of
women's club and hotel as means
of overcoming the disadvantages of
living in rooming- houses.
1t is difficult to realize that less
than a hundred years ago the ques-
ton of educating girls beyond the
most ordinary branches was consid-
cred unnecessary and a mere waste
of time.
Texas has lost its only woman jail
er through the resignation of Mrs.
P. F. Conway, who has given up her
| position as jailer for Tom Green
County after nearly ten years of SER
vice.
Fifty years ago this year the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association,
the first national organization of
women, wa S formed in New York
City by Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, and others.
By comforting of presidential suf-
frage on its women Indiana has added
approximately 100000 to the total
number of men and women who will
be entitled to vote in the presidential
election next year.
Susan B. Anthony, whose centenary
is to be celebrated next year, was not
only pioneer in the equal suffrage
movement, but also was one of the
organizers Of the first women's tenn
perance societies in America.
In Boston, in the early part of the
last century girls were permitted to
attend the public schools only dur
ing the summer, as then there VIZ
room for them, as the attendance OF
boys fell off during that season.

their industry would then be at q
standstill and they would be unable
to pay Neither do I believe that they
should be permitted to import without
limitation because with their lower
wages, longer working hours and I'M
depleted supplies of machinery they
would be able to undersell any other
country on the market which woult
be quite as great calamity as be-
ing unable to pay. However, it will
be long time before any European
country can export any raw material
and the question mainly interests
America.

paganda. We mustn't. Let them de-
stroy their own country and stretch
fatal hands to other countries. We
must fold our hands.
Russia is not the only nation in
volved in this series of calamities, but
let Russia have what her people want
representative government, agra
rian reform-whatever all-Russia
needs she will be sure of from out
side. From the Lenine-T ratzky gang
she will get nothing. The hopes of
the Russian peasants, the immense
majority of the Russian people, the
hopes of the free world, irritated and
endangered by pretense of peace
that coddles permanent hatred, de-
pend upon the action to be taken OF
not to be taken in Russia.
These are conditions of the past, of
the present. What of the future?
The nations at Paris had plan.
!. They invited all the Government
groups of Russia to conference.
The invitation is declined, the plan
fails. Our readers will recall that we
had not looked for it's success, could
not feel that it was justified, unless
the conference at Paris had know
ledge of the impending collapse of
the Bolsheviki or of some other fav-
oring circumstances which might pro-
mise good results from an exchange
of views. 1t appears that there was
no information of that kind, the in
vitation was prompted by hope alone
Was there an alternative plan? VIII
the Supreme Council now come to
some other decision respecting Rus
STA? 1t should have some plan in view,
unless it is resolved to leave Russia
to<"stew in its own juice" a course
which no one could pretend would be
in keeping with the high professions
of justice end humanity proclaimed at
Paris. After defeating Germany, it
should be well nigh intoleFable hui
initiation for the Allies to know that
their troops are retreating before SO
mean foe. That is only one of the
disagreeable fruits of the policy of
indecision. Either we should have
sent into Russia troops enough to re-
store order and give the people a
chance to establish a Government, or
we should have sent none at all. All
the other problems before the Paris
Conference are in way to happy
solution, it seems. Will there be an
attempt to solve the Russian prob
lem?

Are things edgewaysing little? Are you feel

placer" That should never be.
Just think of what you are. But most of all, of
what you able to be. There is nothing very COM

derful are your very eyes. For just think what you
would miss if you had none! They in them
Selves pieces of mechanisms the like Of which there
is not anything anywhere in all creation.
Take time to think of what Master Workman
did when he built you Did it ever occur to you to
wonder whether not He ever has been sorry for
the job?
Then, when you see an inspiring act or read of
thrilling thot, remember that it took human body
with brain atop it to evolve BOTH
Some warm heart is always rising to the
casion and planting something somewhere for you
Oh no. You must never feel commonplace
Not while there is a Sun and Moon and Stars.
Even tho they are sometimes yelled and buried be-
