sxNoPsI1.

When. a mysterious girl arrives at the
home of Alexander MacAllister, wealthy
mInitton manufacturer of I~4aclasse
Neb.. he announces tina she is Marie
SOEtlvte. a relative Of his, and. secures a
home for her with an artist, Carl Men
DALI, and his wife. Mendall is to give
her lessons in painting.
Both MacAllister and MendaIl fall in
love with the girl who is Of rare charm.
MacAlltster's inunition factory is blown
up. He suspects one Kraup, a German
business rival OF his, but Marie warns
him against his chauffeur. Mendall
paints a daring picture of Marie, and at
"a dance given in Laclasse he and the
girl dance a sensational Spanish dance.
The night of the lance MacAllister
disappears for several days. Marie fears
for his safety, and while in a terror at
anxiety cuts up the picture which Men
dali has painted Of her. The latter con-
fesses his love to her and his wife.
At this point MacAllister returns
safely. after having procured the arrest
of the pro-Germans who blew up his
factory. and he and Marie acknowledge
their love for each other.
Kraup calls on MacAllister. He pro-
tests his innocence of the munitions
plant explosion. and gives MacAllister
papers which tend to prove that Marie
has deceived him, and is no connection
of his.

AN UNREPRESENTAT1YE SYSTEM

Tho Bostsevik government Of western Russia has
been touted and exploited in thts country as an express
son Of democracy. It is anything but that, as is appar-
ent from the manner in which it was constituted. Glance
over the facts:
Tho Bolsheviki as such had no hand in the revolu-
don which dethroned tho car. That was brought about
By men in the. existing governmental bodies who con-
sttuted a provisional government whose purpose was to
maintain order and administer Affairs only until an cleo
ton In which the whole Russian people could partici-
pate should be held. The task Of preparing for such an
election was an enormous one, and involved work which
consumed time. In the meantime organization pro-
,fessedly representing the workmen and soldiers of Petro-
grad was effected in a loose and haphazard manner. At
proniscuous street meetings delegates chosen in advance
by self-consututed leaders were '"elected" by viva voce
vote. Little societies of craftsmen decided to elect dele
gates, and did so. Chance groups of all sorts of people
were organized all over the city, delegates were elected.
and the delegate body thus constituted assumed the func.
tons of advisor to the provisional government. The
habit of electing delegates spread to the rural districts,
and the work was carried on with the same system, or
absence of system There we're NO rules as to eligibility.
Eacn village group admitted or rejected as 1T chose.
There was no uniformity in balloting. There was no
secrecy. There was nothing which ordinarily marks the
conduct of a regular election. One village elected, and
another did not. In one most Of the Inhabitants were
permitted to vote; in another most Of them were e1-
lux w Liz IOlI1d fUlHS OF those VINO happened to
be in charge. About the only uniformity in the pro-
ceedinss was that persons Of property and education were
excluded. for the purpose Of those interested in the move
ment who were really acting in good faith was. not that
the organization which they were helping to create should
be a government, but that as the representative of a
class which had hitherto been excluded from a voice in
the government, it should assist the provisional gov
eminent in making preparations for a system of real rep
resentative democracy.
The Petrograd Soviet, which was purely a local body,
and represented no other part Of the country, was easily
manipulated by demasogues who stepped into control
Of it. Without the shadow Of reason other than geo
graphical proptnquity It demanded, and was granted. a
measure OF central executive authority instead Of the
advisory functions which had been contemplated in the
beginning. and in tho matter Of real; authority the scoun-
~ soviets were relegated to the position Of the fifth
wheel Of the coach Then, after a process of undermin-
ing. Of boring from Within" Lenine and his companions
declared that the Sov1es must rule. The provisional
government, weakened as it had been by treachery from
within and opposition from without, crumbled. and Len
tne became dictator.

THE WRONG METHOD

In a statement on the coal strike, Samuel Gomper
thus in part set forth the position of the striking miners;
In the first instance it should be known that the
demands of the miners. which, on the surface, seem
too radical and far-reaching. are by no means so.
For several years the miners have not had more than
half a years work-their working days average from
$50 to $50 days per year, intermittent, by days and by
weeks-employment and then unemployment. The
miners simply ask for a regulation Of the working
time so that the coal production and employment may
be regular rather than intermittent. If the miners
are permitted by the operators to work full time the
supply of coal thus mined would soon force down the
price OF coal on the market, and this the operators
are determined not to permit. The miners case might
better be stated by their demanding at least five days
OF six hours. per week, which is really more than they
are permitted to work at the present time. An un-
derstanding Of the conditions clearly shows who are
responsible for the present situation and the cause.
One Of the unfortunate features of the situation is
that the strike has diverted public attention entirely from
tne needs OF the miners and centered it on the greater and
more imperative need Of the nation for fuel. If the con.
ditions which Mr.. Gompers describes exist, they have ex.
listed for a considerable time, and the miners, even If they
have suffered hardships. have worried on in some vay.
The nation cannot worry on without fuel. Its need for
fuel is as immediate and imperative as its need for food,
or for air to breathe. And in the face Of that need, and
while there exists the prospect that it may be met, the
country is in no mood to consider anything that is less
urgent
If the conditions are as Mr.. Gompers describes them,
they must be changed. They should have been changed
before this. And they should be changed under the au-
thority and at the instance of the government of the Unit
ed States. But in the meantime, the nation must have
coal, and the first duty of the government is not to bring
aoout an adjustment OF wages. but to see that coal is pro-
duced. II every possible effort toward that end is not
now being put forth by the government we are suffering
from incompetency where there should be the highest

Cnited states were a member of the league the king of
Hedjaz could demand the assistance Of the United states
against his unruy %neighbors. and the United States would
be bound to respond.
Senator Smith seems to have read only half of Arti-
che A. and that not very intelligently. Had the article
been cut short just where he seems to have stopped read
ing, 1t could not fairly have been interpreted as he inter-
prets it The presumption is that when the representa-

proceed with some measure Of intelligence. and, granting
y" moderate intelligence. it is fair to assume that they

such Interpretation as Mr.. Smith places even on the frae.
ment OF the article which he cites is absurd.
But in the framing of that article the subject was
not left even to the spontaneous Interpretation which
the terms of its first phrases suggests. There a added

Htely. This is the provision that the league council,
