THE GREAr ExpERIMENT

Perhaps 1t is just as well. after all,
that the Bolsheviki are Bolsheviking
the way they are in Russia. The ex-
perienee must be very unpleasant
for Russia, aud is perturbing enough
even to outsiders at this fairly safe
distance, but much good may come
out of it. For it is the greatest Ia
boratory experiment ever made in
political economy.
For the first time, the political
and economic theories of Karl Marx
are being put into practice literally.
For the first time simon-pure social
ism is having try-out, and having
1t on a vast scale, with the world
looking on.
Other nations may almost congrat-
ulate themselves, even now, that any
nation had the rashness to tackle
such task. For though the men
ace still looms, already the expert
ment seems marked for failure, just
as any clear-headed thinker, seeing
facts as they are, nigh have foretold.
Modified types of socialism may
succeed, by adapting themselves to
human nature and contemporary in
stitutions. Marxism. the dream OF
a mere theorist who could not even
earn a living for his own family,
goes against some Of the deepest in.
stincts of human nature and against
unassailable facts of modern business
life.
Abolishing all private property, 4
abolishes the principal incentive t.
work. at the same time it destroy
credit, without which modern bus
mess cannot be conducted.
This is vital. 1t is mainly from
the destruction of credit that tn
present economic paralysis has com
over Russia. That paralysis, in time
will surely destroy the Bolshevis
movement, unless Russians by mi
lions choose to continue indefinitel
defying facts and starving for tnec
ries.
1t is an error of reason, becom
epidemic. Unless all the ordinar
processes Of sane thinking are falls
It will run its course, giving way
reaction Of common sense. Mar
ism will then have had its day
court and been repudiated by Il
acid test of experience.
II It viii work anywhere, It W
work in Russia. II 1t won't work
Russia, we shall be done with II.

NEW CITY HALL
APPOINTEE HAS
OPENED OFFICE

The first appointee of the new
commission took up headquarters
in the city hall this morning
He staggered up the city hall
steps in the same manner of the
average office holder and dropped
in on Mayor McConochie. After
paying his respects and rubbing
himself against the mayors leg he
walked over to the commissioners
room. where he greeted Commits
sioners Murrin, Liedtke and Juhl.
He gave more attention to Mr..
Murrin than the others, because he
expects to work with Mr.. Murtin
during the next four years.
After the commissioners room
was taken in properly the new ap-
pointee sauntered across the hall
and called on Commissioner Rud-
gren, rubbed himself against the
commissioners leg and then an
nounced that he was giving the last
week of the old regime over to find
ing out largely how much work
will be expected of him Then he
picked out a place under Commits
sioner Rudgren's desk and went to
sleep.
The new appointee is a kitten and
its duties will be to keep mice out
of the city hall.

HUSBAND 81, WIFE
II; JUDGE DENIES
THEM A DIVORCE

81 couldn't sign a decree in this
case if the jury should bring in a
verdict in favor of the complain
ant" Judge T. n Green said, when
he stopped the contested divorce
suit of Richard M. Hungerford
in Peoria.
There seems to be something
between you two people besides
what has been shown by the evil
dence so far" Judge Green contin-
ued- Il think it is deplorable when
two people your age can't agree.
Go back and live together Patch
up your little differences. 1 am go
ing to dismiss this case for want of
equity"
Richard Hungerford, 81 years
old, showed displeasure at the de-
cision of Judge Green, but said
nothing as he stepped from the wit
ness stand where he had been Civ
ing such evidence that warranted
Judge Green taking the case from
the jury and dismissing it.
A little smile crept over the feat
ures of Mrs Hungerford, who is II
years old, as she heard her hus-
band testify that he left her in
April, 1916, with no intention of re-
turning, and when Judge Green di-
rected his remarks to both of them
she nodded a head crowned by a
wreath of glittering gray hair and
accepted his decision happily.
Married in 1915.
Back in October, 1915, they were
married in Chicago and went to
live in Bellewood, little town in
Cook county. Then on April IT, of
the following year, Hungerford left
their home and went to Oklahoma
City, Okla, to live with a daughter
by a former marriage, and Mrs.
was compelled to take
up her home with her daughters.
On May 16, 1918, Hungerford
returned to Peoria and filed a bill
for divorce in which he claimed he
had been a resident of the state of
Illinois for more than one year
prior to the filing of the bill, and
charged his wife with desertion.
Wife Denies Charges.
In her answer, Mrs. Hungerford
denied that he was a resident of
1AAIllOlo do hc CidlD1Gu, LudI lie W DIS
a. true, kind and indulgent husband
as he set forth; and alleged that
he was mean. abusive and used OBJ
scene language toward her She
claimed her daughters had to fur
nish the necessaries and furniture,
and that he contributed nothing.
During his absence, Mrs. Hun
gerford claimed, he wrote her q
letter in which he asked her to get
a divorce from him, admitting that
she had good grounds.
The trouble seemed to center
about a pension allowed him for
his services during the Civil war
Under the laws of the pension
board, Mrs. Hungerford was emit
tied to one-half of the amount he
was allowed, after he had been alb
sent more than six months. She
put in her claim for this amount
and has since been collecting.

WINDOW DISPLAY
VIVID PORTRAYAL
OF BATTLE SCENE

One of the most unique and strik-
ing window displays of the year,
portraying wildly a French battle
scene in which American troops are
attacking a section of German
trenches, is on exhibit in the show
window of the Leithner & Weishar
electrical shop, 1912 Third avenue.
A miniature battle ground in
sand is designed and laid out with
all of the accuracy of the modern
battlefield. Its designer is a Rock
Island youth who saw service at
the front in France, one who was
for months under fire. The feature
was constructed solely by him and
installed by the Leithner and
Weishar firm to boost the Victory
loan campaign.
There are tiny American and
German soldiers, steel helmeted
and completely attired in full
fighting regalia. The gray clad
Hun figures are retreating from
their first to their second and third
line trenches under heavy ar
tillery fire and infantry attack of
the Yanks. Old Glory is being car
ried across No Mans land, in
American troops, bayonets fixed,
are advancing over deep shell crat-
ers and through bursting shells, the
Hun barbed wire defenses being
crushed by three American tanks,
U. S. A. S, -27 and 81.
In the rear of the German third
line trench is a shell shattered
wood. The Yanks are attacking
wooded area, the hollows of which
conceal belching field, turret and
huge, unwieldly seige guns, each
with it's tiny, apparently animate
gun crew. In a valley, protected
by a cluster of blasted trees and
underground is a wee Red Cross
hospital with the protective Red
Cross in red and brilliantly
lighted, emblazoned on its roof.
Anchored above a heavy Amer
lean seige gun is an observation
balIt on giving firing directions to
its gun crew, some of whom are
mounted. Over No Mans land two
Yank battle planes hover, each with
ITS pilot and machine gunner. Over
German artillery far to the rear
floats a huge Hun sausage balloon
The Yank front line trench is lent
reality by All electrically driven
belt upon which American soldiers
on the alert are stationed, giving
the idea Of serrries on patrol duty.
The display has attracted con-
siderable attention and ID crowd IL
found clustered about the
window. Effect of the scene at
night has caused particular COM
ment and admiration, the battle !
being made highly realistic by |
means OF electricity.
AS a background is a painted |
canvas representing q battlefield, !
with shells bursting IN air, |
trenches, barbed wire. artillery. /
etc, so as to fit in the sand design
At night, light globes behind the
canvas, wee bulbs concealed in
she'll holes along the field. flashes

lir machines and the plainly iIlum-
ned Red Cross. all combine to
