LOST OPPORTUNITIES

Republican leaders in congress
have failed as signally to make
political capital for their party
and that was one Of their pur
poses-as they have to enact be-
neficial legislation for the coun-
try. A good legislative record
would have been at once useful
to the people and advantageous
to the republican party. "A cata-
logue of their opportunities hap
pens also to be a list of their
failures.
When the special session Of
congress was convened last May
the country expected and de
manded whole body of measures
that would assist reconstruction
There was, for instance, the prob
lem of fixing the definite status
Of the railroads, which were
neither the property of the gov
ernment nor yet the absolute pos
session of their stockholders. For
want Of any decisive action of
congress the roads still remain in
the same anomalous situation.
Special taxes which went to swell
the cost of living without at the
same time representing large rev
enues to the government were on
the books-and they are still OPP
erative. Provision for the soldiers
was generally desired and GER
tainly was justified, but even ON
the first anniversary Of the ar
mistice it is still lacking. Most
Of all, there was need
for the prompt restoration of
peace as a prerequisite to the re-
sumption Of domestic industry
and foreign commerce, but it still
wait on tn senate.
AS UNITS OF the population, re-
publicans rs well as democrats,
socialists and Independents suffer
from this republican failure. As
workers, business men
and consumers, and especially as
taxpayers, they would have wei |
coined and applauded quick, |
resultful resolution OF
these problems, which touch so
intimately the welfare of every |
class. But after five months OF
patient expectancy they are dis

MAJORITY RULE is FIRMLY Y
ESTABLISHED.

Bolsheyism is variousIy define
but, whatever it may be from tn
economic viewpoint, POLITICAL
speaking in Russia it is the auto
cratic rule Of a minority. AS
system Of government it is tn
absolute antithesis Of democrac.
which embodies the principle o
majority rule. a
1t ism necessary to go bacl
very far in the history of the
world to reach the period wher
a governmental authority was i'll
the hands Of the minority, kings
and their undeflihgs constituting
the ruling class. 1t required a
huge struggle, attended by blood
shed, to overthrow the rule of the
favored few and establish the
reign Of the majority. Minority
rule could not exist along with
growing intelligence on the part
of the people
Historically, the system proposed
by the bolsheyist belongs to a by
gone age; it could be maintained
only when the mass of mankind
was dominated by ignorance.
Now Russia, Of all the so-called
civilized nations today, furnishes
the field in which minority rule
can flourish. The greater part
Of the Russian people are still
living in the state Of civilization
which marked the middle ages.
They have only recently shaken
off czarism and are still ripe for
minority rule Here, if anywhere,
bolshevism would succeed but all
the evidence goes to prove that it
has been a miserable failure.
If bolshevism has failed among
the ignorance-ridden people of
what will be the result of
the attempt to enthrone it in en-
lightened America? TO ask the
question is to answer it: this
country, with the high degree off
intelligence and inborn love of
liberty existing among the peo-
pie, will never submit to the
tyranny of any single class. 1t
cost too much to win the right of
rule and the principle
IS too firmly embedded in the life
and thought of the people to be
surrendered. The radicals who
are seeking to force their mediae-
val IDEAS upon the American
people are going up against a |
stone wall of right and justice
which has been erected by the |
forces of civilization and are ;
therefore forerdoomed to disaster !
Threats of force and physical I
violence can no more terrify the
'reedom-loving people of this
'ountry into surrender than the
lrmies of tyranny frightened
hem in a by-gone age. Minority
'ule, call it bolshevism or what
not, cannot be re-enthroned in
America or in any other civilized
country.
Glass strife, such as the radical
lgitators are advocating, can lead
'nly to turmoil and the destruc-
ion of all things which make for
he well-being and happiness of
it can cause suffer
ng, starvation and bloodshed and
hereby result in losses Of untold
magnitude, but it can never de-
troy the principle of democratic

ers of class conflict is to court a
