o K FOR A RETREAT

A story comes out of Girard, Kansas, to the effect
that Leon Trotzky has applied for a job on the staff of
the New Appeal to Reason. The report, apparently we'll
authenticated, indicates that the famous Bolshevist has
been seized with a spell of fatigue after trying to run the
empire his own way.
Bad days for rulers: The car executed, the Austrian
emperor retired to private life, the head of the Hohen-
zollerns chopping wood at Amerongen. Now, the most
stunning blow of all: Trotzky wanting a desk in an
fairness that the editor of the Girard paper is not a bit
inclined to invite Trotzky to join his staff.
The career of Trotzky is characteristic of the fanatical
who, when 1t comes down to business" does
not want to reform society for its own good, but for some
selfish purpose: He was tired Of czarism and autocracy.
preached and wrote against it, hurled eloquent trades
after his oppressive Petregrad regime, and then when it
finally collapses-not in consequence of his propaganda,
however-he himself seizes the rudder, holds it, hand in
hand with his co-revolutionist, Lenine, fights with him
and the other leaders who all want their particular little
benefits secured, and at last makes his exit from the stage
having succeeded in establishing an autocracy more far
reaching in its evil influences than any Romanoff dynas-
ty ever was.
Specifically speaking, it might be tempting for an
American newspaper to employ a man like Trotzky as a
feature" writer. for it can hardly be denied that he. has
seen much worth describing. But on the other hand It
is a peculiar trait with Bolshevists-foreign as we'll as do
meshc-that they cannot perceive the truth, and there
fore cannot describe it. Trotzky's viewpoint would be
perverted from the very outset, and his narratives of Boil
sheVikism in Russia would certainly be too biased and too
highly colored to be of any real interest to reader. outside
of Russia.
Trotzky has served as an example, and has been alb
I5ectly initiated by individuals who possess his degree Of
audacity, but not his talent. His reign in Russia NAV
have given him a fairly comprehensive impression Of the
futility Of applying lawless methods to the problem Of
governing a people.
There is no idealism back Of men like Trotxky: no
great and inspirational goal to reach: no common good to
be attained. There is nothing but sheer materialistic
lesotism, and you can found no nation and no state on
such a frail foundation. Any commonwealth temporarily
held together by. anarci1y, practical or theoretical, is sure
to collapse almost as soon as their self-appointed rulers
are removed.

JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest

RICHES.
He owns no mostly limousine;
He tolls from dawn to dusk each
day;
The moving pictures on a screen,
For which a pittance he must pay,
Give him life's drama and beguile
His dreary thoughts to visions fair.
Yet he is richer all the while
Than many a lonely millionaire:
For when his daily tasks are done
Glad children, that he cannot
check,
On eager feet to greet him run,
And throw, their arms about his
neck.
The grease of toll is on his face;
His garments are not spick and
span;
Yet there is something in his pace
Which marks the true and sturdy
man. -.
His home is small and on a street
Removed from mansions, great and
Yet there are love and laughter
And roses and a climbing vine.
And children who, beneath the crime
OF toll see what the thoughtless
miss:
They run to him and madly climb
His stalwart frame, his cheeks to
kiss.
He envies men their mansions fine.
And thinks they harbor richer Joys
Than laughter and the climbing vine,
And little girls and little boys.
But many a rich ma travels by,
Who sees his welcome glad at eve,
And mutters: "Homeward bound,
am I, .t.f :.
But no such greeting I'll receive"
To life he would be reconciled.
Though fame and fortune went to
wreck,
Had he a trusting little child
To throw glad arms about his neck!

GALSWORTHY AND THE CAUCUS

We have had a long string Of English visitors COM
Ing to our shores and writing Impressions" and Notes
of US afterward. Some of them looked merely at the sur
for instance. and Kipling as well as H. G.
Wells at times. but Others. like viscount James Bryce.
Analysed our institutions after having studied them thor
and sympathetically. and the result was his
american Commonwealth which to this day stands as
an unexcelled work of its kind. E
The latest distinguished visitor from Great Britain
is the playwright and novelist. John Galsworthy, who as
i writer of dramas is probably the greatest Of the day in
his country. and whose fame as an author Of novels COM
pares only to that Of George Meredith. Thomas Hardy
and Joseph Conrad. Mr.. Galsworthy has often revealed
himself as a master psychologist, and in some Of his es-
says, published here and there in a few collections. he has
shown that his political insight and understanding are
keen and founded on previous thought and examination
of the subjects under discussion.
1t is characteristic of this man that when he was in
want to make any comments off-hand, wanted to say
nothing on the spur of the moment; the interview, there
fore, was to some extent stiff and formal. but its value as
concrete information lay in the fact that what Mr.. Gals
worthy had to say had all been gone over in his mind
first, and he sead his replies to the queries of the inter-
viewer from carefully prepared notes.
He did not Refer specifically to North Dakota or any
other part of this country, but said in a general way that
the caucus system of government-that is, the very kind
WHICH, We 4 witnessing nOW-WaS l0eII1ClenC. here
are his precise words:
Democracy to be worth anything is neither gov
eminent by rabble nor government by caucus. It's
measure as a beneficent principle is the measure OF
the intelligence, honesty and independence of the
average voter. The voter who goes to the polls blind
Of one eye and with a cast i'll the other is not exactly
the sort of ultimate power we want. Democracy to
be real and effective must throw up into positions of
administrative power the most trustworthy citizens.
Mr.. Galsworthy has seen the result of caucus govern
ment in England, his own country, and has realized that
il is not efficacious because it contradicts the very princi-
pies underlying a government by and for the people. In
the caucus the people have nothing to say-they are SIM
ply being managed" and with what fearfully extreme
consequences the caucus may be maintained, we see in
North Dakota every day just now. The British visitor
speaks about 1.-The intelligence, the honesty and inde-
%pendence of the average voer'-capital virtues in politi-
cal life which should not be lost sight of. AS far as the
Intelligence of some and the independence Of still more
are concerned, there may be room for improvement in a
state which is swiftly being hurled into the abyss of ter
rors made by that single individual who guides the most
pronouncedly autocratic government ever seen in a free
state. :
