Bolshevism q Failure.

NihoIdA AcAlu, pIoHlet Oh tue OO1-
shevik government of Russia, is quoted
in the Westminster Gazette of Lon
don as having stated that he realized
the fact that bolshevism has brought
ruin to the workers in Russia, but
that he cares nothing for Russia as
Russia. His sole consideration, he
said, was internationalism. The work
ers all over the world would be ruined
Is result of their taking up boil
shevism, Lenin is said to have acknowl-
edged, the only benefit being that to
be reaped at time "some generations
ahead" by those then living. ....
Granting Lenin the presumption of
honesty in his propaganda of bolshev-
ism as a cure for the misfortunes of
the proletariat, it is probable he has
felt if he has not acknowledged that
which he is now quoted as having said
which may be doubted without af-
fecting the truth regarding the real
nature of bolshevism. No intelligent
person can look for any constructive,
beneficial results to any class of peo-
pie or any nation from the processes
set in motion in Russia by the radicals
who in November, 1917, gained con
troll Of the government.
Bolshevism may have worked out
on paper to the satisfaction of those
who promoted it. 1t was possibly an
attractive program of social reform,
judged from the point of view Of the
wretchedly miserable Russian peasant.
But the moment it was applied as
principle Of government it failed. The
fact that bolshevism has been main
tanned in Russia during nearly eight
cen months is no proof of any degree
of success as reform. In normal
conditions it would not have survived
rs long as that. Indeed, in normal
conditions It could not have been in
stituted. . -,
All over the world there are dis
satisfied people seeking some release
from burdens imposed upon them by
their own deficiencies, or by the in
equities Of government or the condi-
tions Of society in which they live.
They look to some mode Of revclu-
tionary change to exticate them, to
cure their poverty, to set them up at
the head in place Of those who oeenpy
that position. II is the universal am
bition Of the unfortunate. Such panaa
eeas as bolshevism, half understood,
by no means measured, are attractive
to some Of them. For a time these
doctrines gain their support. !.
In Russia, owing to the var, 4 feid
has been offered for the trying out
Of . radical social reform system On
. lxrge scale. It did not need Lenins
reported confession to demonstrate its
failure. Russia has stood before the
world rs q manifest proof that bol-
shevism is not a cure FOR social Ills;
that It breeds graver ills than those It
h promoted to eradicate. Yet even in
the light Of the terrible plainness Of
holshevism's CHASTITY failure in Russia
- . social remedy. there are some in
this country who adhere to it in prin.
ciple and who even urge its adoption
fer the guidance Of the American peo.
pie.
Leains reported acknowledgment
that the only benefit that he can see
from bolshevism is to be feaped gen.
erations ahead ought to discourage
those who are ssill beguiled 81 tie

OIL BUSINESS ON
BOOM OVER STATE
Promoters Rush to Take Out
Charters to Develop Tracts
Of Tennessee Territory.


NASHVILLE, Tenn, June rs, (spl)
%--Judging from the manner In which
oil stock companies are chartering I'M
der the blue sky laws Of Tennessee
and the vast amount OF advertising
being done IN the press Of the state,
{ would seem that the oil center OF
the universe has shifted from the states
OF Texas and Oklahoma 10 Tennessee.
To date 10 new oil stock corpora
lions have been chartered by Secretary
Of State Stevens In Tennessee since the
first OF April, and since that time hun
dreds Of thousand Of dollars have been
invested In oil lands In Texas, prinGi-
pally the Wichita Falls section, by In
t~erested capitalists and others OF the
less financially corpulent class, who are
bent upon "takins a chance on makips
a million or So"
Nashville has been made the head,
quarters OF practically every one OF
these new oil promotion concerns, and
everywhere one goes he hears OF the
marvellous opportunities" Offered by
investing a few shekels In Texas and
Oklahoma land.
The boom Is one Of the most sudden
and complete ever known in history
as far as Nashville is concerned. The
promoters have TALKED prosperity" SO
much that the aff is literally sur
charged with the stuff, and 1t Is said
among local merchants that the psy-
cnoloBlCal erect OF TINS atmosphere OF
prosperity, although coming from dis
tant states, has been noted In local
tradings of every kind. The hotel lob
bies buzz with the Cabling Of promoters
and their headquarters are constantly
filled each day with persons desiring
o look In" on their propositions,
whether an investment is made or not.
The concerns granted permission to
do business in the state TO date are:
Tennessee Chief Oil company, New
Tex Refining company, National OIL
company, Black River Oh and Gas COM

TENNESSEE BOY BELIEVED
TO BE LOST IN FRANCE

TRENTON. Tenn, June 20. tSpl)--
Mr.. and Mrs. j. II. Hudson, living on
Route 5 from Trenton, are disturbed
over the disappearance Of their son,
Willie C. Hudson, who was last ac-
counted for in @ hospital al Brest,
France. This was in October, 1918, and
all efforts to locate the young man
since that time have been ~unavailing.
Young Hudson left Trenton Septem-
Der ., 1918, in company with the drafted
men, and was trained at Camp Wads-
worth, S. G. He sailed on the Leviathan
and arrived overseas on October Z, and
was sent upon his arrival to Base Hos

Fletcher, another Gibson county boy.
Fletcher has since returned TO his home
In this county, but knows nothing of
the whereabouts Of his comrade. Think
Ing that Hudson had been discharged
from the hospital about the same time
as himself, Mr.. Fletcher did not learn
OF his disappearance until he arrived
at his home in Gibson county. All
efforts through the various govern
mental departments TO locate the miss
ing young man have been futile at this
time and the grief-stricken parents

Weather Not Favorable.


The weather map was given close at
tention all the week, for that was the
dominant influence. 1t was generally
conceded that peace and its probable
effects had been largely discounted,
although the many uncertainties at
tending return of the world, to a stable
basis had been taken into account in
the upward move of values. The little
troubles experienced having the terms
of the peace signed helped hold in
check some of the traders, for naturally
they could not tell what results might
be. The presumption all the while,
however, was that peace would soon be
an actually, and that gradually BUSH
ness would have to adjust itself, and
would do so.
In this country reports told of steady
expansion in business, the scramble for
cotton goods showing~little d~iminution,
although volume of sales was limited
because of offerings mot being COM
mensurate with demand. Prices were
we'll maintained and the fact hat de-
mand was so keen was a potential bull-
ish factor. which made the indicated
short yield more serious.
In the Lancashire district of Great
Britain there were labor troubles, oper-
atives being on a strike for shorter
hours and higher wages, and the period
passed without a settlement being
reached. This helped to restrict ac-
tivity in that direction, but proved less
important as a price factor tina news
about the new crop. The idea prevails
that in a short while there will be an
adjustment over there, for profits are
too large and the needs Of goods too
keen to allow the dispute to be pro-
longed. .
detailed description of what the weather
has been. Rains have been frequent
and oftimes heavy, covering practical
ly the entire belt. Cultivation has been
interrupted. while over much of the
belt there has been no chance for the
fields to be cleaned for the first time
even. Grass and weeds have been
rampant and demands on a limited labor
supply greatly increased, making II
necessary to abandon much area and
making it probable that more will have
to be thrown out later. There were
occasional reports of improvement, but
they were exceptional, and 1t is likely
that the belt as a whole lost percentage
during the week. Some Of the reports
were as bad as words could make them,
while there was 2 sisnifiosnt I absence nee
suit was almost constant stimulus to
bullish activity.
One of the most serious features of
the reports was that the weevil was
so plentiful, conditions having been
favorable for the pest, and the late
ness Of the crop making it practically
certain that he will take an unusual
toll before the summer passes. To
many observant minds the most seri-
Z Gus phase Of the crop situation is here,
for what will help curb the weevil will
hurt the prospect for yield in other
ways.
There was little or no effort made
to calculate how short the crop will
be. but the private condition guesses
ranging from 1913 to slightly over I;
,per cent, showing loss for the month
OF five or six points, all pointed to an
other short one. They paved the way
