nations it preserves a certain equi-
libriuna, but in a community where
bacon and shotguns are equally dis
tributed it would lead to complica-
tons. Even the bolshevist govern
ment has not had the best success
with the system, for in taking what
it wanted it has sometimes met the
regrettable necessity Of shooting the
owner or producer of it. Regrettable
because if you shoot the producer
of, say a bushel Of potatoes, he isn't
in position to produce another
bushel of potatoes the next time
you need potatoes.
These difficulties may not seem
great to bolshevism. It is peculiar
ity of that system that it abolishes
things merely by substitution. 1t
abolishes a czar by setting up an
other car. 1t abolishes militarism
by imposing militarisrn. 1t abolisles
right in property by taking property
away from one class and giving It to
another. To a system like this the
abolition Of money Is no problem at
all. It merely has to designate a
substitute for it. We don't know
what it will be and maybe it hasn't
yet been determined. Probably
they're trying to think of something
now. But whatever it is it won't be
called money, because that is CAPT
talistic bourgeois term.
Bolshevist tokens of exchange
mustn't stand for anything that the
dollar or the franc or the pound
sterling stand for. These tokens at
tempt to preserve the relation OF
values in labor. production and other
forms of application in industry and
business, but in a bolshevist state
nobody has to work or produce or
carry on business. That is, nobody
is supposed to. Unluckily there IS
a lingering prejudice in favor Of eat
ing even in Russia, and SO actually
bolshevism has to shoot a few peo-
pie into working. But this is tenn
porary condition and will pass just as
soon as law can be written abolish
ing hunger.

OFFICERS TO SALUTE
WOUNDED.

THAT Major Gen. Leonard Wood,
commanding the 9th Corps area
at Fort Sheridan, Ill, has high
feeling of honor for those soldiers
who were disabled in the fighting
during the war is shown by an order
he has just issued on the subject Of
military courtesy. This order in
part says:
Fort Sheridan is still honored by
the presence of many sick and
wounded soldiers from the battle
fields of the world war. The com
manding officer will set the exam
pie in showing special consideration
to these disabled soldiers and will
salute those who are unable to salute
first as they would wish. 1t is de-
sired that this policy characterize
the officers of this command as a
mark of respect to those men who
have served so we'll"
It is said by those familiar with
army punctiliousness that this is the
first time in the history of the ser
vice that officers have been directed
to salute first when meeting disabled
enlisted men.

TWO YEARS AFTER.

THE New York World says that
the dead and the living alike
have been defrauded in the two
years that have passed since the arm
istice was signed.
The war that was fought to end
war turns out to have been war in
which one kind of imperialism has
been triumphant over another kind
Of imperialism. The peace Of the
world is still precarious because gov
eminent has failed in it's supreme
obligation, and the record OF no 9TH
er government is so shameful or 50
inexcusable as that Of the United
States, represented IN a senate drunk
with the raw alcohol Of poisonous
partisanship.
Two years ago the United States
occupied place of prestige and in
fluence as no other nation had ever
attained. We have nothing whatever
to show for it now. Our financial
and economic power is feared, be-
cause nobody knows how we may
use it; but otherwise we are distrust-
ed and hated, and are without a real
friend in the world. Two years after
the arrnistice, that is what we have
to show for our sacrifice.
