ANYTHING. therefore, that will strengthen
those adventures at home should be care
fully avoided by the Unlocking world, Whlle
everything that will tend to weaken them
there should be given free course.
On this principle it is obvious that what
ever smacks of aggression against RUSSIA
should be discouraged, and that as Tar as
possible no policy should be pursued out OF
which the Bolshevist leaders could make
plausible excuses for their failures and
wrongs. The Russians, like any other peo-
ple, will unite instinctively against an lnVad-
err and as matter of course Will follow such
leadership as is readiest and most promising.
Thus it was that the Polish invasion proved
to be saving piece of goodifortune for Lem
inc and Trotzky at the very time when IN
teernal affairs were waxing peculiarly inaus-
picious to them. Their inefficiencies and in
justices were growing ever more manifest
to the rank and file. Popular attention was
focused upon domestic ills, and popular in
terest was conferred upon ways and means
for remedyng them. That being the public
state of mind it only question of time
as to when the Bolshevist oligarchy would
fall. But, when the news famed forth that
a foreign army was marching against them
and was more than one hundred miles within
their country, the Russian masses naturally
lost thought of internal wrongs and were
borne away by the more vivid, more power
full emotion. That Poland felt justified, as
matter of self-protection in striking at the
SOVIET regime may Dc readily granted but
unhappily enough, it was a blow that
strengthened that very regime by rallying to
its standard the patriotic impulses of the
Russian mass
Such an error, let us hope, will not be
repeated. The interests of democracy and Of
civilization itself require that the plague of
Bolshevism be purged from Russia's life, lest
it spread contagion to others But only
Russia herself can administer the cleansing.
Only the Russian people can dispose of the
Lenine-Trotzky crew as wisdom and justice
demand. 1t will not hasten their discern
ment of Bolshevism's onward corruption to
place them on the defensive against outward
aggressions. They will have no eye for the
oppression and graft which weighs upon them
at home If their minds are fixed upon seem
ing perils abroad But leave the Bolshevist
regime to itself, deprive it of the support OF
wartime emotion, force it to attempt sober,
constructive work, give it free rein for its
folly, and it will go plunging to it's ruin.

VOW there be five different va
nj rieties of the masculine bore,
y each more deadly and to be
avoided than the other.
The first among these social ca
lamittes is the Man Who Talks
About Himself
He is the puffy gentleman, always
sixty-inch chest expansion and a five
and half hat band. And ke is the
happiest, cheeriest thing on earth,
for he is always lost in joyous con-
temptation of that marvel of perfec-
tion-himself. And he is bathed in
glow of righteousness. for he
feels that he is doing noble and
altruistic thing in telling you how
great and wonderful he is and per-
uniting you to admire him.
The Man Who Talks About Him
self has only one topic-Himself.
But that is ineXhaustible. He never
wearies in telling you Of the most
insignificant tales of his life. He
will spend hours discoursing 10 you
just why he eats, oatmeal for break
fast an dtakes his steak medium
done, and when he begins on the
thrilling serial Of what he said to
the boss and what the boss said to
him, it is a continuous performance
which nothing save some untoward
t"NNANSAAL Ne@A SSOp'
r The Man Who Talks About Him
self sees all life in terms of his own
ego. The most important thing that
happened in the Great War was his
buying Liberty Bond. Talk about
the masterpieces of literature, and
he hauls out of his pocketbook and
reads to you a letter signed by Vox
Populi that he wrote to some news
paper. Speak of great artists and
he tells you that he painted the
house white with green trimmings
Refer to some frightful catastrophe
that has wrecked cities and slain
thousands, and he breaks in with
an account of the time he sprained
his big toe.
Prudent people flee at his ap.
proach, and he attributes it to envy
and jealousy of him, and that no
man murders him is the signal tri-
umph of civilization over our nat
ural impulses, for any jury would
acquit the slayer on the ground of
Justitiable homicide, committed in
self-defense.
Close akin to the Man Who Talks
About Himself is the Man Who
Rides His Hobby.
Sometimes he is stamp collector.
Sometimes he is an amateur pho
dent of the An0ent Aztec Ruins.
Sometimes he Is a prohibitionist, or
ritua1ist, or spiritualist. Some
times he plays golf. Sometimes he
is a motorist.
1t doesn't make any difference.
The minute you get in his society,
be mounts his hobby and drags you
up beside him, and you are off
through desert wastes of talk that
make you pray for speedy death to
come and mercifully end your suf-
ferings.

Ho1O to Beat Bo1shev;s11

THE wisest observation yet made touch
ing the menace or the Russian situa-
ton is packed into a paraphrase of one
of the trtest of sayings: "Give Bolshevism
rope enough, and it will hang itself"
Not by trying to crush it from without,
but by letting it destroy itself from within
is the really sagacious treatment for this evil.
II Lenine and Trotzky can hold the Russian
millions behind them, they will be potential
ly dangerous to Europe and to the world.
But without that base of support and propa-
cation the Soviet duumvirs will be of scant
influence beyond the borders of their own
unhappy land. Nor is their doctrine itself
likely to become very infectious unless it gets
permanent hold on the vitals of Russia.

A GOOD TIME COMING
By DR.. Frank Crane
Is there Good Time Coming?

Is there a Good Time Coming?
Let us not argue nor crate, but look at the
facts.
Statistics issued as coming from the bank
ers, give us the following items:
The United States is the richest country in
the world.
The bank deposits in the United States ex-
coed by billions the combined bank deposits
try.
We have more actual cash than any other
nation.
Our national wealth at the time of the
Civil War was about seven billions at pres
emit it is two hundred and twenty-five bill
lions.
In single year we produce by manufac-
ture and agriculture more than the entire
national wealth of France.
England's wealth is only eighty billions
as against our two hundred and twenty-five
billions.
twenty-five per cent.
OF all the oats of the world thirty-five per
cent.
Of all cotton, sixty per cent.
OF all the corn, eighty per cent
Of all the horses twenty-five per cent.
Of all the cattle, twenty-seven per cent.
OF all the hogs, forty per cent
And Of the worlds dairy products, twenty
five per cent.
One-half Of the worlds pig iron is taken
from the earth in the U. s.. A.
Fifty per cent of the worlds copper.
And sixty per cent Of the worlds petro-
leum.
Besides this we produce twenty-five per
cent Of the total production of wooIens of
the earth.
twenty-five per cent Of the linens.
Twenty-Five per cent of the cotton cloth.
Forty-five per cent of the paper.
twenty-five per cent Of the glass.
ThirtV-SiY
And fifty per cent Of the steel products.
That is to say, of the total products of the
globe, we contribute one-quarter (twenty-
five per cent? of the agricultural supplies.
Over one-third (forty per cent? of the min
eral products and
One-third (thirty-four per cent? Of the
manufactured goods.
And we do this, having but five per cent
or one twentieth Of the worlds population.
If we go bankrupt in this situation 1t can
only be by the most egregfous folly.
Almost all the bugaboos when scrutinized
| disappear
We are not going to have a bituminous
coal famine, when the figures of the Geo
logical Survey show that for the last seven
months we produced more coal (302,777, 900
tons) than during the corresponding period
of last year (258,277,000 tons).
Anthracite coal production for the first
seven months of this year. 50,575,0O0 tons.
amounts to 3,26S,oo0 tons more than for
the corresponding period Of 1919.
Highways are improving, the Government
Estate and locaD having spent 1888, 200, 600
this year on roads and bridges, and auto
| trucks are markedly relieving railroads in
| short hauls.
The railway situation and car shortage is
getting better daily.
Mexican conditions are better than at any
| time since DiaZ.
| The secretary Of agriculture says that this
| years crops will be record breaking.
Dun and Bradstreet give reassuring re-
ports of general business and banking az
| fairs.
| And besides this, our Federal Reserve
Banking System can absolutely bar panic
All this is not rhetoric nor campaign mat
ter. 1t is fact.

"4ack to the Farm"

The department Of agriculture esti-
mates that the shortage of labor on
the farms today: is only Is per cent
as compared with &c per cent four
months ago. After going fromDbad
to worse for six years it is encour-
aging to find at last some indication
that back to the farm" movement
is under way.
A slackening of industrial activity
in the cities has resulted in some I'M
employment and workers have turned
to the country. Many other work.
men attracted to the cities by high
wages have discovered that the cost
of living was proportionately higher
and they have begun returning to the
farms to receive relatively better
pay than they have been getting in
factories. The man in the city get
ting from $500 to $4,000 a year
cannot begin to save the money that
man on the farm can save with
1915 a month and found"
. The year 1920 threatened to be
starvation year, but happily the
prophecies of food shortages seem
unlikely to be fulfilled. Weather con-
ditions have been ideal for enormous
crops and the farmers have been able
to get the help they needed so badly
The readjustment of labor distribu=
ton is only just starting and the
back to the farm" movement is only
feeble one just now. But there is
reason to believe that since it is I'M
der way it will continue until there
is a better balance between city and
country producers.
