RUSSIAN SOCIALISM.

In recent article in the Saturday Evening
Post. VIII Payne has performed usetul SeI SCI '
ice in making clear the precise nature OF boISHe
vism.
1t is not "anarchism," as so many people
thoughtlessly call it. Anarchism Is the absence
of governmental system; and Bol9heNlh! nus
sia. chaotic as it seems to be- is very much gov
e,-ned or will he if the wishes Of the leaders are
carried out This strange and repelIant regime
which has gripDed d large part OF Russia ana
threatens to oveT-run Europe IS nothing less
than pure Socialism. as preached by Its founder
and prophet, Karl Marx
To most men, Socialism means something
else q system Of highly organized democracy.
That is simply because most people have Tot read
Marx. but have derived their ideas from Socl-
alists Of more moderate brands. who have de-
parted from pure NarXism. American notions OF
Socialism have been colored largely by the COM
paratively conservative rational teachings and
work OF the English Fabian Socialists, repre-
scnted by George Bernard Shaw, and by such
American moderates as John Spargo.
These noderates have taken the best OF the
doctrines stated or suggested by Marx and lg-
nored the rest. In particular. they have not
swallowed his doctrines of the complete aboll-
ton cf private property and the monop2lizatlon
of political and economic contral by the working
class.
It is on these radical MARKHAM principles that
the bOlSNeVlkl or G&tIElHI>lS nave 4OulIUGtt
their revolution. They want to do away alto
gether with the "capitalistr class" or "bour-
geoise;" whether by taking their property
away from them or by killing them seems i'm
material. They want the state to own and
control all the created wealth as well as the
means Of production, and they want that state
to be governed by the ''proetariat those who
work with their hands for wages.
Thus BolsEeviki Socialism IS not democratic
at all Democracy IS tke rule Of the people
it implies participation in government b. al
people In democracy the millionaire, if there
IS such, has a. good q right to life liberty anC
the pursuit OF happiness as the manual aborer

GOVERNOR OF
FEDERAL BANK
THANKS BANKERS

San Francisco, Feb. 3.-Vaccinate
the nation with thrift as propylac-
tic against "Bolshevism" is the ap-
peal of Governor James X. Lynch of
the Federal Reserve Bank in let
ter sent yesterday to all bankers of
the Twelfth Federal Reserve Dis
trict thanking them for their aid
during the war and urging contin-
ued support until the "job is fin
ished."
WARS are generally followed by
pestilence," wrote Governor Lynch.
Spanish influenza, starting in Eu-
rope, ragged a year before we gave it
much attention. Working westward,
it attacked our physical health and
thousands of our people died.
"There is another pestilence rag
ing in Europe which is menace to
our financial and national health. 1t
is called 'Bolshevism. 1t has Russia
by the throat Anarchy sits on the
throne with bloody sword in one
hand and flaming torch in the 9th
er. This disease is also working
westward. Already it is knocking
at our doors. No quarantine will
keep it our. Our best remedy is the
War Savings Stamp. Let us vac
cinate the whole nation with thrift.
ut is fundamental that no man
will seek to overthrow the govern
ment that owes him money. Banks
should encourage the sale of War
Savings Stamps. AS the heritage of
war let US permanently secure to
the American people the blessings
of thrift"

size of this triangle determines the
accuracy of the sighting-the smaller
the triangle the better the sighting.
BrOOkhart Proved the Rifle Makers
Were Right.
Well, when the shooting had been
at a standstill for an hour and the
crowd had talked itself hoarse, and
the fool who started the argument
had gone home, old Tom brought up
this triangle test. First he proved
that no two men could sight the
same rifle exactly alike, by having
three of the best shots there make
some triangles with the same rifle
and the same scoring paper. Then he
told them about the test made by 1t.
School of Arms, at Camp Perry, o.,
last fall.
Capt E. C. Crossman had chal-
lenged the claim that all eyes could
not look through the sights in the
same straight line. he insisting that
they could. and that differences in
results obtained by expert riflemen
in shooting the same rifle were due
to the difference in pressure on the
rifle in holding and the difference in
trigger squeeze. So Colonel Brook
hart had Crossman, Captain Richard
and Captain Chesley, all using the
same rifle and this placed in fixed
rest, each sight two triangles on a
blank paper at 100 yards. And what
do you think? The triangle made by
made was half the size of duce's
cap! Experts of international fame,
mind YOU, and yet at the short dis
tance of 100 yards there was DIFF
ference of five and one-half inches
in where thev sighted rifle for ele-
vation and three and one-half inches
difference laterallv!
Of course the rifle manufacturers
had proved the THONG to their own
satisfaction long ago, with the ma
chime test and the experts of their
testing departments but you know
low it is. Billy, with some fellows
they are mighty hard to convince, to
say tke least. And right there old
Tom showed his usual good sense
he demonstrated the thing before he
told the bows about the test made by
Colonel Brookhart.

LOWER CALIFORNIA.

The St Louis Reuublic objects to the desire
of the California legislature that the United
States government purchase Lower California
from Mexico.
Says the Republican:
The whole thing strikes us as a land eX-
ploitation scheme on the part of the real estate
Fraternity Of Southern California.
THAT Mexico or Japan would ever use Low
er California for an invasion of the United
States is sheer rot
In the second place, the United States is
obliged to a policy Of self determination, and
rness Lower California asks to be annexed to
the Jn:'ro S'~tes Ne hove no business even
suggesting such proposition.
In the third place, Lower Califoria would
