OTHER VIEW POINTS

PfOhlDltlon in Kansas, condition of long standing, seems not to have befuddled her people in this hour of crisis. Of all the state threatened by the coal shortage Kansas alone seems to have thought her way through to a solution. On November 17th her governor Henry Allen communicated the mines. Today her volunteer miners, recruited from every walk of life are digging out the black dia- monds.
 Courage. public spirit and resource fitness are indications of an alert and intelligent electorate. That these things could be. found in dry Kansas seems to put the burden of proof up- on the vets who claim that prohibit tiOn and criminal restlessness go hand in hand
 !, Not only have the people Of Kansas solved their own problem, but they have dared ito work their solution in the face of the coal miners union.- Bridgeport Telegram.

THE FALL RESOLUTION.

Regarding the resolution of Senator Fall suggesting that the relations be- tween this country and Mexico be broken, and on which the advice of the president was sought before any action was attempted. only what was expected in the way of a reply has been received in communication to the senator to the effect that such would be a reversal of our constitu- tional practice and the adoption of the resolution would SbeSvfewed with grave concern by the president
 President Wilson pointed out that the initiative in directing the relations with foreign governments rests with the executive and that alone. posi- ton which is entirely correct. Such was maintained by Senator Borah at the time the resolution was under dis cussion following it's presentation, who insisted that such a matter was in the presidents hands and that congress could not act until called upon to do so.
 Even though it could have been viewed in the light of assuring the
  ate's support in such action as pro- posed, it has nevertheless served tc bring to his attention this and other features connected with the Mexican situation of which he knew nothing Ii has likewise called new attention to the conditions disclosed by the com mittee Investigating Mexico and the relations of the two countries. --
 The determination as expressed ir the senate to do nothing more with the resolution shows that there was no plan to put it through but rathef desire to have the situation receive the attention that it should and not be allowed to steadily grow worse The responsibility rests now as it al- ways has upon the presidents shoHl- ders but there is the satisfaction now that he actually knows about it.

STORIES OF THE WAR
The Horror of Russia.
(By The Associated Press.)

Iiliteracy is the horror of Russia and it is on this soil that bofshevism fiourishes, says Professor A. A. Ossenr doffsky, the Polish chief of the intelii- gence department of the AllRussian government.
 He defines the belshevik order as: There is no more law. Go forth. burn, pillage, kill and you will be rich and happy" The illiterate and credulous believe this and after two years the world sees the. ruin of Russia.
 According to the professor, they have no axes, scythes, shovels or nails in Soviet Russia. The council of na- tional commissaries is ordering that all the valuable English textile ma chimes in Russia be converted into such utensils as there is no cotton, in Soviet Russia and all textile works are idle.
 Of the chemical industry there is not a trace. All manufactured goods have been exhausted. Machines are idle.
 The professor estimates that all the debt of Russia could be paid up by exporting its vast supply of timber and that it's great stores of hard and soft coal would suffice the world for 150 years. Russia,s.. surplus, of iron. copper, zinc, naphtha. gold and the wealth in fish of the Pacific and Northern Oceans and Siberian rivers and it's fur industries could be utilized as a firm foundation for any economi- cal and financial policy that might be adopted by any Russian governN7ent. But to accomplish this, it is nec- essary 10 have normal living condi- tions, continuity of work and assur- [ lance of the integrity of person and property" says Professor Ossendoff- sky.

clemenceau at kehI.
(The Associated Press.)

When Premier Clen1enceau visited Kehl the other day he walked rap idly to the end of the great bridge which crosses the Rhine to Stras- burg, winked gaiiy at the gallic cock that replaces the Prussian eagle on the top of the bridge and then turned to face a battery of photographers and moving picture. men. GO ahead, snap away but don't for get that you must include that old bird up there in the picture he said to the camera men;
 Leaning over the railing he noticed big pile of coal on the pier below and pointed it out to NJ. Claveille, the minister of railways, saying to him:
 Don't let me hear another com plaint from the Parisians about the lack of coal"
 M. Claveille's reply could not be heard but evidently it was not satis- factory for. addressing the newspaper man. the premier shouted:
 Boys, send telegram to your newspapers sin Paris something like this: Plenty of coal in Kehl but Clayeille will not transport it." Returning to the waiting automo- piles through the muddy main street lined with low houses from behind the l curtained windows of which faces | peered curiously. Clemenceau caught sight of three frock coated men stand | ing top hats in hand, in the driving rain: Who are these peeple?" asked Premier Clemenceau. He was inform ed that they were the German mayor
