Admits Atrocities.
Robins admitted that the Bolshe-
visits had committed atrocities, but
he charged that the Czecho-SlOvaks
had also been guilty of atrocities in
Russia; and he's declared that, while
he was not attempting to defend
Lenine or Trotzky, be believed that
the cure" the United States and
Great Britain and France had offered
in the form of armed Intervention for
Bolshevism was one that the Russian
people had bitterly resented" Such
armed Intervention, he declared, has
been responsible not only for Bolshc-
vism becoming more and more strong
Iy entrenched in Russia, but for its
spread through Western Europe anu
in this country.
He asserted that the use of Ameri-
can troops in Russia had been the re-
suit of a false Judgment of the
actual conditions existing in Russia,
had been a betrayal of American
principles" and had done much to
create and arouse intense class feel
ing and resentment, not only in
Europe, but in the United States"
There is an unfortunate DISPOSE
ton in certain quarters to denounce
a condition rather than attempt to
either understand IT or find a solu-
tion for it," Robins continued. 1T
seems to me that IL would be better
for us to try at least to understand
the situation before denOuncing it,.
There is a movement in the hearts Of
men throughout the world which
neither prejudice nor resentment nor
denunciation will check"

SEES WARNING TO ENGLAND.

LONDON, March Some people,
says the Manchester Guardian, may
consider the resolution on the Irish
question passed by the American
House Of Representatives as 'irreIe-
want, even as an impertinence." But.
continues the newspaper, cit is moth
ing OF the kind. 1t has a very direct
bearing on the fundamental princi-
Pies accepted as the basis of peace
and it should be regarded not "a graz
tuitous Intervention in our domestic
affairs but as a friendly and by no
means unnecessary warning"

WHEN man undertakes the organiza-
tion of government, he uses lnexpens-
i've agencies. The first fifty years OF
our existence as republic cost less
than one year costs now. Our con-
gressmen were fewer, their salaries
less. and the salaries of all persons
holding public Office were about one
third of what they are now. The rights
of man were interfered with only when
necessity required it. And yet we
grew and prospered, waxed strong and
wealthy, and kept our social atmos-
phere pure. AS our country increased
in wealth and power, we took on new
activities. increased salaries, multi
piled laws and did many other things
involving expense. But all this brought
no more happiness, no purer sociai at
mosphere. We grew big ana became
rich and like paupers who suddenly nno
themselves millionaires, we commenced
to scatter our cash like chaff. The old,
Economical system of government be-
came obsolete. 1t didn't suit as. There
were not sufficient restraints so we
commenced restraining, directing ana
supervising human conduct, ana con-
tinued this practice until we found our
expenses of maintaining government
were far beyond the widest dreams OF
extravaganza. The youthful govern
nenrs give more for the money than
do the older governments. Age brings
extravaganza. 1t also calls for the
Tightening of restraint on the lndivld-
ual. The question naturally arises,
What will be the final result of increas-
ing public burdens and taking away in
dividual rights? Where is our extrav-
agance to stop? Where is the looping
off of human rights to end? Look down
the vista of the coming centuries and
see if you do not perceive ruin silhouet-
ed dimly at the end.-Madisonian.

In A published statement, Secretary
Houston declares BOlshevism IS vicious
in it's theory and criminal In its prac-
tees. It has appeared in certain Eu-
ropean countries which have suffered
from the domination of unintelllgent
autocrats. where vast numbers of the
people are uneducated and have had
little or nothing to say about their po-
litical and economic fortunes. 1t is a
pity that such peoples, misguided by
fanatical or wrong minded leaders, have
not been able to seize the opportunity
presented to them to ley the founda-
tions of benifcent institutions and to
proceed in orderly fashion. They will
be compelled, for their own salvation,
to throw off their present leaders, to
make an ''about face, !" and to start on
new lines. | have no fear of bolshe-
vism in this country. | have no pa
thence with that small minority of men,
many of them recently come among
us, unacquainted with our institutions
and purposes, familiar only with insti-
tutions radically different from ours,
who seek to overthrow our govern
ment. | do not believe that those ele-
ments are very strong or will get very
far. The people OF this country are
committed to the rule of the majority
and to the rule of law. There is no
good cause which can not get hearing
from our people 1t is up to the man
who advocates it to persuade the ma
jority that he is right. If he can, he
can secure what he seeks at the polls.
If he can not, he must abide by the
will of the majority or suffer the pen
atty. The majority will not tolerate
any effort by misguided minority to
impose its will by violence. If aliens
among us propose such course, the
quicker they are put out of the country
the better If naturalized citizens who
took the oath to support the govern
ment attempt it, the quicker they are
denaturalized the better

Trunk Line Highways To Be Increased

The state trunk highway system is
to be increased from 1000 to not to ex-
coed $500 miles. The Wisconsin high
way commission and joint legislature
committee acting with the commission
will select the additional mileage after
hearings, and the same procedure will
be followed as in selecting the original
system.
The danger producing sign board on
the highways outside corporate limits
will be made thing of the past under
the terms of the bill. 1t provides that
no advertising or other signs shall be
erected within a public highway within
a distance of 1000 feet from the inter-
section of any two or more highways.
Another provision is incorporated in
the new bill making it misdemeanor
to injure, deface, or remove any sign,
guide post, mile post, or marker, erect
ed by the state or municipality for
the guidance of the public.
A change is made in the method of
distributing the funds for state trunk
highway maintenance. Each county,
under the terms of the bill, is entitled
to receive S135 per mile for the main
tenance of the state trunk highways
within the county, and in addition, the
proportion of the funds remaining after
the above amounts have been set aside
that the registration fee paid in by
each county is of the total registration
fee, providing that no county shall re-
ceive more than $275 per mile. An ex-
cess over this latter amount will be
pro-rated among the balance of coun-
ties.
