Exploiting the Bolsheuiks
By AUSTER, in The New Europe

NOR many weeks past bitter contro-
versy has ragged round the name of
Admiral Kolchak. With many people it
appears to have become matter of con-
science to attack Kolchak merely because
the other side attacks the Bolshevik, and
for each charge brought against the Boil
sheviki we find similar charges brought
against Kolchak. Against the accounts of
the Red Terror are set blood curdling
stories Of the White Terror. If the Folshe-
wiki dissolved the Constituent Assembly in
January, 1918, we are reminded that the
remnants Of the same assembly were ar
rested by Kolchak in November Of the
same year.
Controversy on such n basis is quite un-
real, and 80 long as we are content with
mere abuse we shall never arrive at prac-
tical policy toward Russia or do anything
to alleviate the suYerings of the Russian
people. II there is a sincere desire in this
country to help Russia the only thing that
matters is to decide whether it is the forces
grouped around the Bolshevik or the
forces grouped around Kolchak that offer
the best prospects for the future Of Russia.
When the revolution of March, 1917, broke
out in Petrograd public opinion in this coun-
try was unanimous in acclaiming it. If there
were misgivings in some quarters it was due
to anxiety about the war; but there was on
all sides a sincere feeling of joy that the
Russian people should, after many years of
struggle, have won the same political liber-
ties that Western Europe enjoyed No hint
was given in the British press that the liber-
ties proclaimed by the provisional govern
ment were not all that could be desired, and
nobody in this country dreamedI of de-
nouncing the government of either Prince
Lvov Kerensky as counter revolutionary
or reactionary.
It was not until the Bolsheviki appeared
upon the scene that these words gained cur
rency and, in spite of the fact that the pro-
visional government moved steadily to the
Left during the summer of 1917, were applied
to the representatives of the first revolu-
tionary government. TO the Bolsheviki all
who did not accept the dictatorship of the
proletariat," or, to put it more accurately, the
dictatorship Of the central committee Of the
Bolshevik party, were counter revolutonaries
and those who stood for the Constituent
Assembly, after the Bolsheviki had dis
solved it, became bourgeois and reactonary

The Wounds Of Peace

The Red Cross has become a powerful
and ably organized institution under the
compulsion Of war and it is good news
that it is to plan its peace work on a
scale and with q vision equal to it's war
efforts. We print elsewhere on this page
the resolution adopted by the Inter
Allied Red Cross Conference which met
distinguished medical and other scien-
tifc experts of five nations assembled in
this gathering to prevent and ameliorate
the tragedies of sickness and death.
1t is vast undertaking-ho vast we
are only just beginning to realize War
has been a rare educator. In the matter
Of the venereal diseases, for instance,
there has been an advance in general
knowledge, in public will and practical
method which it would have taken years
Of peace to equal. 1t would be colossal
waste and a profound tragedy if al! this
gain were lost and the nations reverted
to their pre-war standards. We are glad
to see that the Cannes conference placed
the consideration of these diseases upon
its list
A new and quckened interest in
physical welfare has been born Of the
war, and the Red Cross is the logical
organization to give this interest form
and the machinery wherewth to accom-
plish a genuine amelioration of human
life

Missouri Returns to
Hanging
(From The Artzono Republican,


The state of Missouri after experimenting
year and a half has found it necessary to
restore capital punishment. Within that
short time homicides became much moro
numerous and lynchings had become alarm
ingly frequent. The determination to restore
capital punishment was probably hastened by
a recent event. man who some years ago
had murdered two peace officers was appre-
hended .at Trinidad Col, and was returned
to the town where he had formerly lived
While he was in Jail mob formed of well
known citizens, who made no effort to con-
ceal their identity, entered and took the pris-
oner out and publicly hanged him in the
presence of the mother and wife, who had
come to jail to visit him.
There had previously been lynchings of
murderers who the populace believed de-
served death, but under the existing law
could only have been sent to the peniten-
tiary. and who, though sentenced for life.
would probably have been free in five or
ten years.
Arizona went through the same experience.
The increase in homicides was probably
sharper here than it was in Missouri, for we
have a larger proportionate population to
whom confinement in the penitentiary means
little. hanging means great deal
SO far the statutes are concerned we
have recovered from our two years of folly
1t remains only for courts and juries to ex-
erclse the good sense that the people
did at the polls last November and then there
will be fewer homicdes

The Coming 7ower
THE WEAKER SEX
Epilogae


The Procession
Men-a world Of men, marching along,
Treading on each others heels,
Stumbling blunderng,
Not knowing why they come
And still less why they go
But always moving toward a goal they
cannot guess
And barely hope for.
Pitiful they are at times,
Blind in their innocent conceit.
Childlike they are in seeking
Not love, women do,
But only need for love
One who will take their battered pennies,
All too few
And count them fortune.
Never a one grows DID, or learns,
AS one might think,
From bitter lessons.
Always the same old quest!
And SO we see them comeand go
More infinitely piteous in coming than in
going,
And those of us who know,
And knowing cannot choose but to re-
member,
Greet them with a sigh Of knowledge
And speed them with a smile of wisdom
That softens, quivers, melts into a tear
For the next pilgrim hard upon his way.

LEE ARMS.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-21

There is nothing to do but plead guilty
to most of these charges. We think rather
more highly of Lardner's contribution to the
American language than Mr. Arms, but the
phrase Photographic accuracy was careless
and unjustifed. Some time ago we COM
mented on the fact that the language which
Lardner has invented is burlesque. But
It's merit as burlesque rests upon the fact
that it has a foundation of accuracy. Some
of Lardners Celebrations are his own inven.
ton, but others are literal reproductions, We
thlnk, and in all cases there is at least kin
ship between the conversation he puts in
the mouths of his characters and true talk.
even though it is distant relationship at
times. Very little of it is sheer laboratory
synthesis, like most of the work of Witwer.
AS to the challenge of Mr.. Arms to name
what members of the Giants talked like Lard
ner's 'Busher,' we must admit that it puts
us more or less in hole We remember that
McGraw and Merkle and Mathewson were
almost Chesterfedian in their expression of
the diamond. On the other hand it seems
to US that Rube Schauer used few ex-
pressions which might fit into the Lardner
the 'Busher' series. He particularly objected
to the fact that the author insisted on re-
ferring to the fact that the 'Busher' wore
six and seven-eghths sized hat "Why
wear six and three-qu quarters myself" said
Rube
There were times when JEFF Tesreau was
not million miles away from Lardner nor
was Larry Doyle entirely beyond the scope
of the Lardner language Still. there is 10
denying that Lardner deals in burlesque.
Only his foundations are sure and exact.
AS matter Of fact, we would look to another
writer to find the authentic American Ian
guage which Mencken seeks. Damon Runyon,
it seems to US, has caught the talk Of the
native New Yorker with great nicely. lie is
particularly faithful, for instance. in repro
ducing the almost invariable use of the pres
ent tense in narrative which makes SO much
of the talk on the diamond and the racetracS
and the prizering vivid. Also anybody who
wants to famliarize himself with the manner
in which the uneducated Northern negro
talks should consult a free verse poem about
crapshooting which Runyon wrote several
years ago.
The trouble so far with the attempt to
set down American dialects I'VE hardy
ready to accept the theory that there is any
such thing as a language is that the men
who know it best are not philologists and
those who want to make a scientific study
are not close enough to the sources. We fesl
sure, for instance, that Mr.. Mencken could
improve his interesting book, The American
Language" (Knopf), if he would spend ct
least three years in reporting horseraces
prizefights and baseball games. But if ne
did that, what would become Of American
literature without his fostering attention ?

war? Did it help? How? Now that the
is ended, what is it collected for? Our
pockets are all cluttered up with tinfoil
from segars and chocolate, and it sud-
denly occurs to us that we might as we'll
throw it away. If we were a city editor,
we'd Probe the Tinfoil thing some Mon
