isKANsAS RIGHT7

The State of Kansas in the enact ment of it's Industrial Court law seems to be an the right track, as has been frequently suggested. probably has established precedent that will spread over the nation. This meas ure, which provides compulsory set clement of labor disputes, was opposed with might and main by both coal op- orators and miners-the first because it throws open to public gaze their profits and managerial methods, using these as a basis for fair dealing with their employees and the consumers, and the latter because they are com pellea to lay their complaints before a court and accept the decision hand ed down instead of being allowed tc punish the public in their efforts tc get what they demand of the employ CTS.
 Above all things it is hoped that thu system will prove one of justice ant equity. Perhaps the best evidenc that both sides in the near perpetua warfare in which the public has al ways been the .goat," are opposed | the plan.

THE. BoLsHEvlkl ARE LEARNING

From the Kansas City Star.
 If the report from Finland is correct the Bolsheviki leaders have made an- other great discovery as to how the world is run They have found that Russia is suffering from insufficient production and consequent low stan dard of living. So they have provided for a 12-hour day and they are trying to force 7-day week of work.
 At the outset they believed the country could get on beautifully with out an army by using moral suasion. Now they have organized an army in which the death penalty-at at first dis cardedi is enforced. They abolished wages, and refused to pay competent one more than incompetent ones. Now they have revived the wage scale and have sanctioned all sorts of disparity in the pay They believed the whole country would be prosperous and hap DIV with very short working day, once all returns on capital. and high salaries paid to executives were dis pensed with Now they have learned that if there is nothing to divide the share of each person will be negilgi- ble
 Of course If Is perfectly evident tiial the chief cause of the poverty in Rus sia is lack of production. With indus try shot to pieces and producing onl, 25 per cent of what it produced under the old regime there is no opportunt
 ty to better the condition of the peo pile. So hard experience has taugh the leaders the old lesson that th' salvation of people lies in work.
 What is true in Russia is true oni, in somewhat less degree in all othe countries There is no magic road t national wealth A people cannot b
 made rich by legislation. The onl way in the world to raise the standar
 of living in Russia or in the Unite
 States is to increase production.

The state department announced

Washington, Feb 27.--AcCept-
ance of President Wilson's proposal

iously awaiting reply of the allied
premiers to the presidents latest
note The reply Is understood to
have left London last night and
should be in the hands OF the presi-
dent today.
The quick reply made by the en-
tente premiers is interpreted here
as an acceptance Of the presidents
poposal and 1t is understood that
the Italian gyernment is willing to
hold conference with Jugo-Slavia
in an attempt TO reach an agree
ment. II the proposal for a confer
ence is accepted and it fails To
reach an agreement satisfactory to
the United States, Great Britain
and France, then Italy and Jugo
Slavia must stand by the proposals
made by the other allied countries
The proposed ugo-Slavia-ltallan
conference was the only hope held
out here today of an amicable set
tlement Of the entire situation, for
in the entire exchange of notes it
doomed up as the one possible way,
since President Wilson and the en-
tente premiers have shown no dis
position to swerye from their orig
inal stand.

could not agree as to the disposition
Of territory other than that which
directly concerns either italy or
Jugo-Slavia brought some pesslm-
