NOTHING NEW IN RUSSIA.

STHE activities of the Bolshevik in
Russia and their anxiety to get
away from everything that savors Of
the old regime. are amusing to say the
least. The latest reform proposed by
the Reds is the placing of prohibi-
ton on Christian names for children.
Names like '1van," for instance, have
been borne by saints and kings, hence
they are to be relegated.
Not even in Russia Is there anything
new under the sun. "Petkoff, One, Two
and Three" sounds like the numbers
used in British boarding schools as a
variant of Smith major" and Brown
minor" fashioned New England
families used sometimes to number
their children in Latin. Decimus.
Tenth" has been a fairly common
name in large families, and makes
ready reckoning Of the second ten more
convenient.
But in avoiding Christian or church
ly names, are not Their Majesties the
Bolsheviki running head-on into royal
and noble numbers? Edward Albert
Christian George Andrew Patrick
David, Baron Renfrew, when he comes
to the throne. will be known simply as
Edward VIII" Earls, Dukes and the
like are commonly known as the sixth
or eighth from the founder Of the title.
Numbers are, in fact. as aristocratic in
association as names.

one hundred per cent health and phys
ical force. When he comes to that
understanding ne will soon find his
equilibrium, his own value and his
place as unit working creative force
on this planet, and a new sensation
will opssess him; he discovers himself
to be contented and sees himself rec
ognied by others.
l don't put all the blame for this dis
content on the workers of today by any
means. Our national government also
in good faith for the last 40 years has
handled our economic educational and
commercial system so that we are now
only paying the wages of sin for our
mistakes. The something for nothing
spirit by the counterfeiters must be
stamped out in this nation. The weak
est point in our national life Is lack
of individual discipline. Discipline or
self control Is the fundamental prin-
ciple of life, individually as well as col
lectively. Discipline is the foundation
of love and happiness in the home,
out of which grows the moral, obli-
gative spirit to known measure in ev-
cry individual existence; a sentiment
of national duty; the aim of each. ac-
cording to his or her personal ability.
1t is the fibre in private as we'll as in
national life which stands for Truth
and Duty and the recognized stepping
stone to success. Discipline is the con-
Meeting essential for unity in family,
economic and national life, lubricator
for individualism, an antidote for un-
scrupulous commercialism. 1t Is an
automatically closing headgate against

! No republic will survive on its funda-
mentals without having the majority

national life is the lack of discipline.

who has sufficient courage to point
Out to his fellow brother the danger
which we are confronting in our march
of evolution, and should ask himself
if he is not the enemy from within.
Discipline will open the door OF any
soul for the kingdom of God to enter.
Egotism is the arch enemy of discip-
line and the sign which points to fail

should have not alone suggested but

war, that all workers under their con-
troll should work ten hours instead Of
eight hours a day. In my opinion they
missed their calling as genuine Amer

THE BURIED TREASURE MYTH

1 F the famous Captain Kidd was to
come to life again he would no
doubt be highly amused over the legal
proceedings in New Jersey involving
a search for some of the Spanish plate
he is supposed to have buried. Cap
tain Kidd was the source of constant
trouble when he sailed the high seas
and he seems to have left in his
wake considerable moro grief.
Facts brought out in testimony at
the New Jersey hearing are to the ef-
feet that the leader Of a spiritual con-
|gregation" and two women helpers, at
the direction of a negro girls spirit"
dug over the greater part of a sixty
acre farm to find chest of the pirates
gold would be scoffed at in a work of
fiction.
OF all the myths that persist while
the serious things Of life have their
day and pass that of buried treasure is
no DOUBT the most enduring. 1t is two
centuries and more since the Greenock
sea -raider was hanged for his crimes.
and time has gone on magnifying the
amount Of loot. All the stealings of
Kidd and of the buccaneers Of the
Spanish Main probably did not equal
a modern private fortune of modest
size, Yet certainly no similar amount
Of gold has caused as much delusion
or inspired as much fruitless industry.
II half the energy that has been
spent in seeking pirate treasure had
been devoted in digging for natures
treasures the world would be far
richer.

The government learned that whatever
action 1t took must be responsive t.
public opinion. II there was a victor,
it was victory for the public.
In commenting upon what all learned
from the strike the London Times says
1.-THE strike has proved that
neither railway men nor railways
are SO indispensable to the life Of
the community as they supposed.
Other means of locomotion and
transportation, at first merely sup
Elementary and still so in normal
times, have been developed SO rap
idly In recent years that they are
able to replace railways in an
emergency. Few people realize the
extent of this change. The rail-
waymen certainly did not They
thought they had a strangle hold,
but found it slipping from their
fingers. This undermining of for
mer monopolies applies to many
other things. and is one of the
cardinal results OF applied science.
And it is not only the machine or
the process that is replaced, but 1t
Is the men too. Skilled
mechanics are becoming constantly
less indispensable through the evo-
luton of "fool proof machinery.
Nor is any monopoly beyond reach
OF similar encroachment. 1t is be-
coming every year less possible for
any section of the community to
hold up the rest effectively. An
other lesson of particular interest
to>trade unions Is that It Is I'M
wise to intrust too much power to
m oligarcy, whether 1t is called an
executive committee or anything
else. The irresponsible strike is
doomed. The executive officers of
the unions have been themselves

from below, for years: 1t is no less
an abuse when It comes from

by the miners, will commend itself
more generally, and will eventually

A club is an institution which Is de-

which cost good money. so he seldom
goes there except as last resort or
when he has a friend in the city and
wants to feed said friend for only
slightly over three times what 1t would
cost to take him to a good restaurant
where they serve regular food.
The most attractive feature of the
club is the stationery. In order not
to be obliged to go to the club to write
letters. each member takes an arm
mul of this stationery home with him.
Then his wife uses it for the purpose
of making out grocery lists and i'm
pressing the tradespeople.
Out of a membership of 500. there
are only five gentlemen who inhabit
the club every day and they do it be-
cause they have no other place to go.
They are mostly gentlemen who are
willing to be urged to take drinks or
sustenance. 1t is possible that nearly
all the 500 members get to the club
sometime during the course Of the
year, but some of them dodge this un-
pleasant duty by sending their dues in
by mail.
The financial status of the club is
always in need of the assistance of a
foreign loan. One efficiency expert
tried to put a club on paying basis
several years ago and has been in the
asylum ever since. That was a warn
ing and no other has ever tried it.
