committee of 4 three-Charles Deem,

PARIS, June 6.-The chaos in
Russia can not be charged entirely to
the bolsheviki, who have merely
completed the job of tearing down
the superficial social, economic and
political structure which the Did
regime fostered.
The breakdown Is the natural e
suit of the abuses practiced by The
former privileged classes of Russia.
The revolution furnished the opoor'
tunity for the bolshevik agitators 10
seize control of the country through
violence, though they unfortunately
drove out the intellectuals and train.
ed professionals needed for rebuild
ing the country.
There is probably no other great
people who would embrace bolshov'
ism and suddenly reverse their
ideals and customs, as did the Rus
slams who naturally run to extremes
lit Is the extremes which make dis
cussion regarding Russia diff cult.
The bolsheviki claim they are defend
ing the revolution which is supposed
to give the Russians liberty and OPP
portunity, yet they forcibly apply
communism, wiping out both liberty
and opportunity for the individual. 1t
is impossible in Russia to disagree,
verbally or in their interest with boil
sheyism, as its leaders figure they
have copyright on all good ideas,
and hence are destined to reform
Russia whether she likes 1t or not.
Some bolsheviki unthinfingly speak
of Lenine as second Christ" With
out doubt Lenine is bolshevism's
strong man, but Russia thus far has
shown no signs of the magic touch
of genius. The concessions the boil
sheviki are making in their prin.
ciples and the readjustments of their
aims are Indicative that their objec.
itiyes were not divinely inspired.
The bolsheviki have awakened the
Russian people intellectually and
have taught an enormous number to
read and write, in order to spread
their propaganda. They have sapa-
rated the state from the church and
eliminated attendant abuses.
On the other hand they have set
up political dictatorship which
abolishes liberty and tells the Rus.

Bolshevik Russia Is misunderstood

it's enemies-such as humiliation OF

OUR SOURCE OF TROUBLE

We must stop to deal with this
little thing of big import from the
p1tsentments of the Sumter county
grano jury returned last week in
thcac few words that body of men hit
upon oUr troubles:
We desire to congratulate our
sheriff and solicitor for ferreting
out and bringing to trial so many
parties operating Illicit stills
and pistol "totters", as we are
thoroughly convinced that the
majority of our minor troubles
cmanatn from this source. We
respectfully urge upon these Off
GERS TO use their best efforts in
this particular so that the lard
can still will forever be abandoned
from our couny and that the
Colts automatic and the Smith and
Wesson No SO will be known no
more in our community.
Present company is expected in our
stopping for a moment to commend
the action of that grand jury All we
desire to say is that that grand
Jury saw directly the seat Of many,
many Of our ills. When all Of us find
as truly as did this body what we
know so well is doing great harm,
there is hope Of Improvement in
maintaining order.
1t is possible to deal honestly and
fairly with the pistol and the tiger
still. 1t is possible to eliminate them
from their role of trouble making.
No man with love of Jaw and order
in his community ought to stall a
moment when it comes to eliminating
them. We say it because crime so
much crime, is traceable to that
source.
All the Georgia cane syrup of the
past years crop was cleaned up long
ago and any local merchant could have
sold 25,O00 gallons more than he had.
Most OF the late stock sold at LBS
a gallon. 1t is amazing news, but the
sugar shortage in the country now is
remarkable. We have no sort of suf-
ficient supply for the fruit canning
and preserving which is just begin
ming. If you will ask the wholesale
houses and the commission and pro
vision dealers who handle sugar, you
will find this statement true. Every
pound of it that can be had for tiger
liquor making is taken and hastily
consumed.
Put the consumer of this potash
compound in charge Of a big pistol
and let him go out to enjoy life. He
can make more business for the
courts than any thousand sober
thinking men. We must give more
thought to the elimination of the pis-
tol and the tiger still, because there
is Il tendency to permit them both
to continue their daily program of
crime and trouble making.
