ganized and inadequately housed, ID
calculated to impress ali who visit it
with the fact that Uncle Sam is at
work diligently to make America IN
deed q land Of plenty and prosperity
and happiness and intelligence.
A visit to this exhibition immedi-
ately suggests the wonderful possibili-
ties Of national exposition here in
Washington Of a permanent nature.
From time to time the departments of
the government have been represent
ed at "world fairs" in various cities, and
these displays have had great value in
demonstrating to the people the ben
eficent and constructive federal activi-
ties. It is in Washington, however,
that such display should be perma-
nently maintained perhaps in conjunc'
ton with an all-states exposition, or,
failing that, independently in q suit
,blc building. The other departments
can make a most instructive showing,
not perhaps as wide and varied as that
of the Interior Department, but high
ly educational in character.
Washington is the mecca of all
Americans. Hundreds of thousands
visit here annually from all parts Of
the country. Members Of Congress
visiting the Interior Department, ex-
hibit cannot fail to be impressed with
the suggestion that to those who come
to the capital should be shown in ade-
quate manner proof that the United
States government is functioning for
the welfare of the nation.

More Time for the Fund.

1t is unfortunate that the period
for the raising Of the $13,00O,OOO home
service fund for the Salvation Army
had to be extended in order to raise
the amount required. It has been
most surprising to find 50 slight a re-
spouse to the call For the support
of an organization that has so def
nitely and splendidly made good in
the war service. Washington Is still
some $4,000 short of the hundred
thousand mark. That 1t will finally
come across with the full figure is not
to be doubted. It IL only u question
Of time, but the pity is that it has
taken such / long time to put this
fund over the top. Ali who have not
given should give now quickly and
generously. r

Anti-Bolshevik Russia Recognised

With the rec0gnltlon conQiClOnally
of the Kolchak and Denikine anti
bolshevik governments In Russia by
the peace council at Paris the doom
of the soviet administration at Mos
COW is probably sealed. 1t is unfor.
tunate that this step was not taken
long ago. At no time from the out
set of the bolshevik movement in Rus
STA has it been possible for the al
lied governments to countenance that
form Of rule without betraying the
Russian people. It has been evident
from the start that the soviet ad-
minisration did not represent the ma
jority Of the people OF Russia. Apart
from the ter-revolutionary move
ment set up in Siberia, in the lower
Volga region, in the Caucasus, in the
Ukraine, in Lithuania and other Bal
tic provinces and in the north, the
red rule of Russia was distinctly a
minority manifestation. Numerically,
reckoning all the actively anti:bol-
shevik elements in Russia as well as
those who are passively submitting to
the tyranny of the soviet, the reds
stand as a very small number. It
has been stated that not more than
100000 Of the Russian people ara ac-
tually enrolled III the bolshevik or
ganization, in sincere support Of it.
Now with the recognition Of the
Kolchak and Denekine governments
the basis is established for a syste-
matte campaign Of custer against the
usurpers Of power in Russia. With
this recognition will doubtless go the
supply Of munitions, Of which all the
anti-bolshevik forces stand greatly in
need. Apparently the military situa-
ton is going badly for the bolsheviki.
Their armies are in retreat on sew
eral fronts. They are being pressed
into a condition Of extreme danger
through the concentration reported
from the west, north and the east.
Recognition by the allied council will
greatly strengthen the anti-bolshevik
organizations, too, in demonstrating to
the people who are still within the
range of bolshevik administration that
the soviet government is destined to
an early collapse, and this will hasten
the process. Throughout the antisbol-
shevik campaign in Russia it has been
found in virtually every section where
a military advance has been made that
the majority Of the people welcome the
anti-red forces with great enthusiasm
as rescuers from an intolerable situa.
ton.

Unity on Capitol Hill.

The controversy in republican sena'
torial circles over certain committee
assignments has been settled, and both
sides are to be congratulated. To have
permitted it to get out of hand, and
tester, would have been injurious both
to the party and the country.
Injurious to the party, because the
public business was committed to the
republicans last November, and if they
are to have ghost of chance next
year they must now make good in Con-
gress. Such a division in either house
as would give the democrats even tenn
porary advantage would amount to an
abdication, and be punished at the
first opportunity at the polls.
Injurious to the country, because
there is so much business for Congress
to transact, and which should not on
any account be delayed. Business of
all kinds. Reconstruction covers a
multitude of problems, foreign and
domestic. The Sixtyfourth Congress
made reputation by the ground it COW
cred in its long sessions and many
measures. The card Of the Sixty sixth
Congress is even longer; and both time
and unity of action on the part of the
majority are essential to its require
ments.
There is time a-plenty. This spe-
cial session has clear road until
December, and the first regular ses-
sion will have a clear road for full
year. If all the time is employed, a
great deal of important and pressing
work can be performed.
Unity, then, is the leading thing.
The republicans, upon the best terms
possible, must get, and stay, together.
They are recognizing the fact. In both
House and Senate they are consulting
together, and ironing out among them
selves such wrinkles as appear. There
is certain virtue in party wrinkles
when promptly and properly handled.
They provoke discussion, reveal weak
spots, and force compromises in be-
half of fair and effective action. 1t
is only when neglected, or handled in
judieiously, that they produce trouble.
The committee assignments an
nounced show care by both parties.
Competent men have been put in
charge Of work Of the highest impor-
lance to the government. Where the
seniority rule has been recognized
the selections justify it. By their
ability and qualifications for the tasks
imposed, the men so honored are in
themselves an assurance of good work.
The country, therefore, will look with
confidence to Capitol Hill. With the
party in control there in both 11umor
and a condition to do business, and
with clear mandate to go ahead, sat-
isfactory business should be the re-
suit.

Unions, He Tells New

Governor James p. Goodrich of Iudi
ana said last night at the Biltmore that
the forced disintegraton of the so
called packers trust, merely on the
score Of bgness and the fact that it
has side lines, is a mistake. Referring
to the political situation, he said that
Will H. Hays will be continued as
chairman Of the Republican National
Committee, no matter who is nomi
mated at Chicago.
In his address to the New ENGLAND
Society in Brooklyn last night tho Gov
crnor said that there should not be an
Unrestricted right for organized labor
to strike, as the interests of the public
were superior to those of organized
labor.
"Disintegratng the big packing com
panies because they are big and
spreading out in their business of
furnishing foodstuffs is mistake, and
the day will come when it will be so
recognized" said he. "If the packing
companies as now organized can put
down on the dining table of the Amer

any other competitor they should be
allowed to do so. The cheaper the bet

~ to make themselves bigger. But il
by, becoming big they can serve the
public and demonstrate their useful
ness by keeping down prices they
should be left alone.
THE government has brought about
settlement Of the coal strike by
practically agreeing that the price Of
coal to the consumer shall be high
enough to warrant the operation of
inefficient mines all over the country.
That in my judgment is big mistake
The inefficient mines should be allowed
to stay closed. One-third of the soft
coal mines Of the country could be
shut down and the remaining two
thirds of really efficient mines could
produce ell the coal needed for the
home market and for export by work
ing four days a week The inefficient
mines, instead of being subs died
should be allowed to wait until they
are really needed-that is to say, until
the consumption of coal warrants their
operation"
To Continue Hays
"Will Hays will be continued

Chicago may be-" continued Governor
Goodrich. at would be step in the

Republicans to retire him after he has

Referring to Bolshevism in his home
state, Governor Goodrich said:
There are q good many Socialists in
Indiana, and some of them are of the
extreme type. If the Socialists can by
peaceable propaganda convince the peo-
PIE OF the United States that our gov

the strikers in Indiana thought / was
going to stop Mother Jones from
speaking they crowded the hall After
they listened to her cheap abuse of
public officials they lost all interest in
her, so that at her second meeting only
twenty people heard her. 1t is a good
deal better to allow the crank with
falacious ideas to blow off steam. The
common sense element in the commu-
nifty finally will take care of him"
Must Modify Doctrine of Force
Governor Goodrich in his address
to the New England Society at the
Bossert said in part:
II believe the time has come when
organized labor in fields of vital ne
cessity to public welfare must dis
card or greatly modify the doctrine
of force. l know that AS between en-
ployer and employee argument is often
weak and ineffective substitute for
force, but my notion is that the in
tercst and welfare of the American
people are greater than the interests
Of either the employer or employee, or
both of them.
I'VE cannot oppose the rising tide
of radicalism in this country by force,
although We must meet force with force
