rolling, but to start anything rolling
one is planning to do, like conversa-
ton or game playing or anything like
that"
But" said the grasshopper, lone
doesn't roll conversation or game
or anything like that"
1T means to start it going, that's
ALL" said the bug.
"Then," said the grasshopper, 1T
means that we must not think of
ball being used or Of anything rolling
when we say that we can start the
ball rolling. But instead, it means the
starting Of anything that was
planned"
Quite right" said the bug, quite
right"
Still it's foolish saying with but
little sense" said the grasshopper. II
wouldn't think up such sayings If l
were creatures. That is, II I were
creatures who did think up things.
II would think up things which
meant what they said, I would. But
Bug, you were going to start the ball
rolling, and by that you didn't mean
any ball at all, nor did you mean any
rolling.
'Tell me the conversation you meant
to start, for that was what you said
you had ready to start"
"Ah yes" said the bug. ~ simply
cannot understand why creatures
will say as snug as bug In a rug,
when bug isn't at its happiest in a
rug at all. Maybe bug Is very snug
in rug, but bug mightn't be able
to properly breathe at all, and besides.
a bug greatly prefers other things be-
sides rugs. Moths, on the other hand.
are different"
Just what said," the grasshopper
grinned, funny green grin. "Just
what l said," he repeated, 1.-THE crea-
lures who make up these sayings have
very little sense at all.
'"They don't stop to think. They
say the first thing that comes into
their heads.
THAT might be all one would expect
Of q grasshopper or Of bug, but not
Of person.
"And so the saying grows-people
hear it and use it, though in the first
place 1t means but very little"
"Wen," said the bug, 'there is more
sense to the expression about starting
the ball rolling than we thought at
first. When a ball starts rolling 1t
goes along so easily, and that is the
way a conversation should go too, and
does go when someone starts it of
entertainingly."
II see, see," said the grasshopper,
''well, I'm greatly relieved to think
there is more sense to sayings than
one would imagine at first"

simple and relies for it's power on the
employment Of force. Not only has
this been done in actual practice, hut
it has been declared to be a necessary
part of the policy upon which the
government should be conducted. The
old regime was overth-own and some
thing containing the basis OF demo-
cratic government took its place.
Steps were under way for the calling
of a constituent assembly which should
represent the entire population Of
Russia and had it not been for the
persistent and determined opposition
of the bolshevik such a representative
body would have been created and
would have proceeded to the organ
ization OF a real representative gov
eminent in Russia Lenine and Trotz-
ky plotters conspi-ed to hinder this
work, and were successful ultimately
in preventing it. They seized the ma
chinery of government by a sudden
onslaught and have retained it by
means Of hired soldiers who have
beer able to t%erro-ize the unarmed
and defenceless masses. There has
been every prospect that this regime
would be continued permanently.
mo civilized nation can dwell on
nsishborly terms with such a govern
nient. If the soviet heads have CON
Guided that they have run their course
and that they must change their
methods and mend thei- manners,
it is for them to take the first steps
in this direction. The world need not
concern itseK greatly if the personal
character Of these men except that it
must regard all Of Their acts with gus
piston. If they abandon their former
practices, disavow their former prin-
ciples, and take steps t o establish a
democratic system they may properly
be given the support OF their neigh
bors to the extent that they appear to
be acting in good faith. To recognize
them on the mere basis OF promises.
when they have already demonstrated
that they do not rega-ds any promise
as binding. would be absurd. No
matter what. form Of government is
adopted in Russia that. government
will have a long and rocky road before
it, The best thing the other nations
can do will be to encourage as fa- as
possible every step that is taken in
the direction Of the creation Of a real.

THE PACKERS AGREEMENT.

- JS
ney General Palmer with reference to
the agreement made between his de-
pa-tmeni and the great packing in
dustries of the country indicates th2t
the action of the government was
really based on fear Of what the pack
ing interests might do rather than on
complaints of what they had actually
done. Mr.. Palmer says in his state
ment that the packing companies had
gained control Of SO many ines OF
t-ade that their continued and unre-
stricted growth would be q menace to
the country. HI says nothing Of what
the packers have actually done in yio-
lation Of law and ethics. 1t would
have tended to simplify matters if dur
ing the entire packing controversy
there had been less confusing of is-
sues. BY the violent attacks made by
the Federal T-ade Commission, and tn
numerous other ways, the country
has been he'd to believe that the pack
ing companies ~profiteered grossly at
the expense OF both producers and
consumers. Statements which have
created this impression have been sin
gulArly lacking in specific facts. Com
plant has been made Of the enor-
nous sums Of honey that the packing
business has yielded to its owners. The
vast volume OF business handled has
usually been ignored. and the reader
has been left to conclude that the
profits have been made by extortion-
ate overcharges o. by unlawfully fore
ing down the price Of cattle and other
raw material,
The substance Of tMr. Patner's state
ment now seems to be that it was
considered advisable to prevent the
further expansion of this business. and
its extension into other lines Of trade.
lest ultimately a few individuals should
gain control Of an undue proportion
Of the food trade of the country, and
thus be able to handle it to the dis
advantage of the public by suppress
ing composition and fixing their own
prices almost at will. A. discussion
concerning this feature Of the case
would have been interesting and
might have been instructive. Obvi-
ously the nation could not do without
consigning the transfer Of its entire
food business into the hands OF Z
single company or OF a small group d
companies operating in unison. II
the trend Of affairs were in that direc.
ton it was necessary either that limits
be placed upon the expansion and
concentration Of this business, or tina
It be treated frankly as a monopoly
and be placed under strict sove-umen,
Regulation. The former method IL un
