Trotsky and Steffns.

A visit by Lincoln Steffins to Leon
Trotsky takes on importance not only
as an occasion Of unique diplomatic
interest, but as literary reunion. Mr.
Steffins wrote the Introduction of a
book by Trotsky which was cleverly
marketed and probably found more
purchasers than actual readers. There
was no clash to be apprehend.d by
the two, for Trotsky's course has been
consistent with an attitude of which
the Steffins introduction speaks in
earnest admiration. He writes: "To
Trotsky the Russian revolution is but
one-the trst-of series of national
revolutions which together will be.
come the thing he yearns for and
prophesies-the world revolution, Ry
keeping the home fires of bolshevism
burning, Trotsky hopes in time to en-.
kindle both hemispheres.

Young Men and Politics.

"loHng Teddy" announces that his

from private business, and will devote
his time 10 public affairs-to politics
He starts with the right idea. Poll
ties. like the law. is a jealous mistress
No divided allegiance goes" After
getting into his stride. the elder Roose-
Welt put ranching behind him. and gave
his whole attention to the study and
to the practice Of politics As stu
dent and writer he concerned himself
largely with political events and men
who had shaped them. He wrote of
Cromwell, and Morris. and Benton, all
master politicians. and became 4 mas
ter politician himself. And in Office
and he served in numbcr-he showed
the superior order of his craftsman
ship.
This IS a most favorable time for
Young men of ability feeling the urge
TO enter the political field Many old
things are passing, and with them many
of the leaders they produced. Many
new things have arrived, and others
are on the way, and new leaders will
develop and find opportunities for
fame and usefulness
The term professional politician" is
often used to describe a caucus fypr.
CRATER, q shady fellow all around.
But there have been many men of
the highest quality Of mind and char
acter who after entering politics have
IN way made it q profession: have
studied it, and during long years Of
service in Office have applied their
knowledge of it to the best and most
patriotic ends. They became profes-
sional politicians in the highest sense,
and as such made large returns to the
public.
From the very start, this has been a
young mans country. SO to say The
government was established by young
men, and at all stages Of its develop
ment young men have been among the
leaders. A man becomes a voter at
twenty one. He is eligible to the of
flee of representative in Congress at
twenty-five; to seat in the Senate at
thirty; if a native of the country, to
the presidency at thirty five. Mr..
Bryan's first nomination came to hin.
when he had just reached the consti-
tutional age; and Mr.. Roosevelt enter
ed the White House when but little

While there are large rewards in
business, there are large rewards also
in politics, satisfying in the highest

Germany's Industrial Ferment

Miners of the Ruhr industrial dis
trict of Germany have struck. after
formulating q series OF demands. vow
ing not to return to work until they
have been fully met. These demands
are so radical as to constitute pro-
gram of revolution. They propose a
six-hour day. including the time spent
in entering and leaving the mines; a
p per cent increase in wages: recogni-
ton Of the council system the imme-
date release of political prisoners; i'm
mediate creation of revolutionary
workmen's militia: immediate dissolu-
tIon Of the existing volunteer corps

ing districts and payment by the ma

In addition 10 framing these de-
mandS the miners al their meeting sent
hrothcrlv greetings TO Hungary, de

victory OF their Hungarian comrades
over the "accurScd class" and that
they would fight shoulder to shoulder

Of a socialist soviet government, in the
