LAD CRUSHED BY ELEVATOR
Boy Loses All His Teeth When
Caught In Shaft

With every tooth knocked out and
otherwise seriously injured, Donald
Batey, fifteen years old, of 1902 Oxford
street, was found crushed between the
floor Of an elevator and the side Of the
shaft in the plant of a furniture factory
= at Ridge and Columbia avenues.
Batey, who was an employe of the
company, is believed to have lost his
balance last night while running the
elevator from the second floor to the
third floor. His screams brought other
workers in the plant to his aid, and he
was extricated with difficulty and re.
moved to the Northwestern General
Hospital. He sustained fractured Jaw
and severe cuts of the head, in addition
to internal injuries. His condition is
critical.

citizens as any one else. Chicago was
not seething with anarchy.
I'VE exaggerate evils that we i'm
agine are impending and are far more
impressed by the noise Of a few men
than by the inherent sobriety and
common sense of the main body of
our population. The mass of our peo-
pie are safe and reliable and conse-
quently there is no more danger of
this nation becoming bolshevistic
than there is that the whole earth
will crumble under our feet.
1.-THE United States Is moving for
ward socially, but in a perfectly
methodical fashion, and there will be
no riots or other outbursts of force,
except. perhaps. here and there, and
in each case the local police will be
sufficient to keep things level. AS
heretofore. the country will remain
cool and unmoved and will go about
its own business.
Russia was ready for revolution
and experimentation. 1t was made
ready by tyranny and corruption.
Such conditions do not exist here. We
are free people and when matters
don't suit us. We change them at the
ballot box. All Of the remedies for
evils present or to come lie in our
own hands. Therefore. say that
bolshevism Is impossible in the
United States. 1t need not cause alarm
to anybody"
where did it originate"
'In the dreams Of Nicholas Lenin."
Mr.. Russell replied. HE was the
originator of that particular school Of
thought. IL bolshevism can be SO
called. Brooding alone over the con-
ditions in his own country, out Of con-
tact with the world and knowing lit
tie about the practical affairs of life,
he imagined that the whole Of man.
kind. as we'll as Russia. was OPP
pressed.
He read the German philosophers
and the accounts in German and Brit
ish newspapers and magazines Of the
state Of affairs in cong sted industrial
districts where there were poverty,
sickness, unhappiness. and so son, and
fancied that the whole world was
ripe for revolution. All that was
needed. as he saw the case. was
leadership. He believed that capital
ism was responsible for poverty
ignorance. crime and depravity and.
consequently. should be abolish ed
The old order. he argued, should pass
away, with all its evils. and new
order should be established. The new
order. in his program. meant govern
ment in all directions by the prole-
tarians, otherwise the workers for
wages.
Were this to occur in Russia, he
thought. 1t would also occur through
out Europe and in America. Now
Nicholas I.enn has wonderful
mind. but It does not function proper
ly. So. to a degree. he is insane.
Nevertheless. one should not under
rate his ability. Brooding by himself,
he was a wonderful but impossible
vision.
Then he fell into a disastrous error
with respect to his localized prole-
tariat. He clothed II with virtues
and abilities 1t did not possess. His
disappointment In this respect was
terrible. After the coup which drove
Kerensky from power and placed the
government In his own hands. Lenin

Much Of Russia, you understand. Is
covered by swamps and forests. Inn
mense regions are outside the areas
Of easy, transportation. Lenin's ap-
peal to the peasants brought him no
relief. In the meantime, for lack OF
intercommunication, matters were
going from bad to worse elsewhere
in the country. There was Asiatic
cholera in Moscow and Petrograd.
The doctors could do nothing because
there was no medicine. Then in
Petrograd typhoid, followed by
typhus. caused frightful results.
Again the doctors were helpless for
want Of medicine.
THE machine we call civilization
had gone to pieces. Railroads were
paralyzed for reasons that have
mentioned. The instrumentaIities so
necessary for protection. comfort and
prosperity had been scrapped in Rus

had turned into a horrible nightmare.

"Give me picture" the interviewer
said. "of bolshevized America"
There can be no such picture" Mr..
Russell answered. "Bolshevism would
be impossible in this country. Ameri-
cans are a disciplined race. They have
had four generations of the public
schools and have been voting through
out the same period.
Moreover, they are a reflective
people. When great questions arise
they take them into their minds and
think them out soberly. The war just
closed proves what have said. Many
Americans, and / among them, be-
lieved that the United States should
have earlier entered the contest. But
America required time to consider the
matter and took the time, some two
years and eight months. Then it be-
gan to fight and made a finished job
of the task.
LAS a people we wait and weigh. A
decision reached we act with vigor,
wisdom and intelligence. 1t has al
ways been so. There is no danger,
not even the remotest, that olshevism
will ever be tried in the United States.
1t has wretchedly failed in Russia
and we shall not experiment with
schemes that have been fizzles else
where.
There must be certain conditions
for such adventures In government as
have been undertaken by a part of
the Russian people. Such conditions
do not exist here. and where they do
not exist movements like bolshevism
can make no Roadway"
But the newspapers are reporting
the meetings and speeches Of revo-
lutionists." the interviewer remarked.
Yves; know. There always have
been loose takers in this country, but
their number. in proportion to the
rest Of the Inhabitants. Is absurdly
insignificant. 1t should be remem-
bered. too, that only a handful of
such loose takers as we have would
resort to acts of violence.
II learned. q lesson in 1885 that I
shall never forget. That year. in the
month Of May, seven policemen were
killed and sixty wounded by q dyna-
mite bomb that was thrown among
them while they were engaged in
breaking up q meeting Of anarchists
at Haymarket Square, In Chicago.
"The man who is supposed to have
thrown the bomb escaped. Four other
men were hanged and three sent to
the penitentiary. Everywhere 1t was
believed that Chicago was seething
with anarchy. that buildings were to
be blown down and leading citizens
assassinated. / thought so when
went to Chicago for the purpose Of
describing the situation.
After q careful examination Of all
the facts In the case found that
there were not a dozen men in the
city who would use force against
lives or property; that there were,
possibly, 400 wild takers in the COM
munity and that 5000 or 5000 work :

yicted persons should be hanged, but
