WHAT goLsHEvIsM REALLY IS.

Cedar Rapids Republican: A Rus
sian cardinal the other day threw
some new Iight-new for us-on BOZ
shevism. He says that it is much
worse than it has been pictured The
socialists have been too hasty in de-
Tending it as part OF their social sys-
tenn. It is not socialism, even bad as
that is In operation. 1t is mere brutal
force, the brute force OF Ignorance
He says that one of their habitual
slogans is Down with all who can
read and write" They are suspicious
OF intelligence as well as OF all gov
eminent How such system can
flourish at all cannot be understood
without understanding the primitive
minded people who compose much OF
what IL the Russian state. On this the
same cardinal said:
know Russia pretty well i
was director Of the Catholic acad-
envy at Petrograd The brute e1e-
naent in Russia is stronger than
is generally believed. At the
very gates of Petrograd there are
Finnish villages still in primitive
condition, while along the Pc
OF the Urals there is territory
which, according to census re-
turns. belongs to the orthodox
religion, but which in reality is
pagan, the people worshippfng
idols and making sacrifices like
tribes in the center Of Asia or
Africa.
There you have the picture Of the
conditions under which bolshevism
has been able to prosper, If it has
prospered. And there also you have
a picture of the social state to which
the fanatics in this country woui1
seek to reduce US. 1t is Uncomfortable
that any Americans should De enani-
cured OF such state OF society, ct
such a government--it is only ignor-
arce that can explain 1t at all
AnG yet we have the spectacle Of
lneny Americans advocating q soviet
government for their own country
and college professors even have been
carried away with such ideas. They
are worse than blind. They do not
know what they are advocating. They
are men who ought to be in insane
asylums instead of in college chairs
or on soap boxes.

Get the True Figures.

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
There seems to be much dissatis-
faction on the part of our citizens
because of the census report recently
taken by the government. Let us
have another taken, the mayor to APP
point one male citizen from each city
block, he to canvass his block only.
BY this method we can procure a cor
rect census and, believe, without
cost to the city for this service. There
are loyal citizens in every block who,
| believe, would cheerfully do this
work.

AN UNsAvoRY RECORD.

Henry Lane Wilson, who was our ambasaa-
dor to Mexico in the early period OF the Wilson
administration, declares that President Viii
son 5 'meddling and muddling' in Mexico was
Ia direct cause of the resignation of Secretary
Lansing. 1t may well be believed that it was
one Of the causes, and a direct one in the sense
THAT Mexican affairs were at another crisis
when the final collision Of Mr.. Lansing's mind
with the presidents occurred
The former ambassador, by the way, has wit
messed the verification of all that he prophesled
a. consequence of the administration s early
attitude toward Mexico, when upon his sur
rendering Of the anbassadorship he publicly
expressed his views Henry p Fletcher, vet
Gran diplomat with special experience in Latin
America, who was transferred from China to
tine Mexican post only to retire shortly after,
probably would confirm his predecessor sum
ming up if he chose to speak. As for former
Secretary Lansing the public has already had
an mixing of the truth that, in the Mexican
mess, his mind did not Ego along willingly
with President Wilson s any more than it did
lat Paris.
The explanation which the president gave
for calling for Mr. Lansing's resignation was
that his chief minister had usurped the execu-
tive prerogative in summoning meetings of the
cabinet. That was not the reason, of course,
hut only petty pretext. The shuffling letter
that the president wrote betrayed tine reason.
Ehowever-he asked to be relieved of the en-
'barrassment OF feeling your reluctance and di
vergence of Judgment There was reluctance
and divergence at Paris, without any doubt.
And the circumstantial evidence is that the en-
ibarrassment had been chronic because of di-
Ivergence of Judgment about our Mexican poll
cy, not to mention lesser matters.
We have had several years of meddling and
.ruuddling in Mexico, alternating with watchful
waiting. The public is not unfamiliar with the
,unsavory record, nor has it been wrong in its
condemnatory Judgment. All that remains is
to fill in the details, and Henry Lane Wilson has
now contributed few. We should like to hear
from Mr.. Fletcher. And the country would par
ticularly appreciate it if Mr.. Lansing would
write his memoirs.

The George Washington Memorial associa-
ton which is undertaking to raise ten million
dollars for national victory memorial build
ing at the nations capital, is greatly pleased
that Mrs. Woodrow Wilson has accepted the
honorary presidency Of the organization. '.ln

ton, "that during the presidents long illness
Mrs. Wilson has been nurse and secretary to
him, as we'll as acting president to greater de-
gree than any other person in the president s
personal and official encourage, her consent to
act as honorary president is taken by the as
ISOLATION as evidence of exceptional interest. y
II is possible that Secretary Lansing dazed by
his sudden jolt, may now on learning who was
acting president, have clearer idea Of what
hit him for having advised with other officials
over matters of pressing moment which arose.
And now let us turn in sorrow to the poor
heart of F}urope-broken, smashed to bits
