HIS METHODS CHANGED

Societs and Employs Experts,
Says Member of Parliament.

Milan, Sept. 17.-Lenine, the Rus
sian dictator. is changing his methods.
according to Marco Honin, member Of
the Omsk parliament. He started his
dictatorship by proclaiming war on the
farmers, but he now says: eve must
help the farmers and give them COM
plete freedom of action"
His new creed is: unless the farm
ers are with us we are doomed TO
death. All our methods mist be
changed. We are on the brink of a
precipice and we seem TO be blindly
marching toward irreparable ruin"
He has started to practice his new
theory. The effects of the communist
experiment are rapidly being effaced.
The Specialization of the industries
has been complete disappointment
Only 113 workshops remain of the 6S1
which flOurished at Moscow in 1917.
AS first step he has called to his
aid the best technical men in the coun-
try, regardless of politics. He has
suppressed the soviets among the rail-
road employees and in the workshops,
and technical men have resumed COM
mand.
Also, it is no longer the state who
undertakes public works. These are
now given on contract. Salaries are,
liberal to good experts. The engineer

ceives $4,000 roubles a month, in spite

Rather than subject the general to
the embarrassment incident to an open

WEEK BEHIND WILSON
SENATOR JOHNSON SPEAKS AT
SIOUX FALLS.
Californian Wins Approval of Large
Audience of South Dakotans-
Goes to Nebraska.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 17.-They
are not an emotional people up this
way and generally they think before
they commit themselves to decisions.
Which is probably why Senator
Hiram Johnson of California faced
somewhat serious and reserved audi
ence at the Coliseum here. 1t was not
an audience prejudiced in advance
against his cause, the cause of the
opponents of unreserved ratification
of the peace treaty and the League of
Nations covenant. Nor was it an
audience that appeared to have been
predisposed to the side of the league
supporters, in whose behalf President
Wilson spoke in the same hall week
ago.
They had been waiting, they admit
ted in advance, to hear JohnSon'S YER
sion of what the League of Nations
really meant before pledging their al
legiance to either faction. AS they
listened to the Johnson version the
indecision, the reserve, disappeared
from many faces. That the senator
from California once again had
proved an adept as evangel for his
cause was evident in the applause
which grew progressively more in
tense.
1t is possible Mr.. Johnson's speak
ing personality had something to do
with his success with this South Da-
kota audience. For his stage bearing,
his emphatic gesticulatiOns, his some
times violent delivery were impress
sively reminiscent Of Roosevelt. But
whether he won his audience by the
force of his argument or by the force
of his personality the senator won the
audience very definitely. Before he
closed and dashed from the hall to
the station to catch a ten o'clock
train for Lincoln, Neb., he had hun
dreds shouting in echo of his denunc-
iations of the covenant. of what he
termed Great Britain's territorial
grabs" and of his other pet aversion,
the "Shantung infamy."
Senator Johnson was met at the
train upon his arrival at noon by a
good part of the 10000 inhabitants of
the city. A band paraded him to a
hotel where he was luncheon guest
of city officials. In the afternoon he
was entertained at the Country club.
He speaks next at Lincoln, Neb.
