AN EXAMPLE

Some twenty years ago there ar
rived in Madison a Russian Jew, his
dutiful wife and several little chill
dren. The husband and father was
small and delicate in physique and
without means.
But he was honest, Conscientious, in
dustrious, frugal, willing.
For a time he performed the hum
blest of duties in The Democrat office
performing them faithfully and
well, never complaining, never idling
ever ready to work after hours or
whenever or wherever he could be
useful. Later he became the man,
of-all-work in one of the big build
ings at the university; and now from
that great institution, within three
years past, have been graduated three

describes how the preacher pointed
out to cells the folly of wiggling, to
pixies the immortality of stealing, to
crabs and turtles the danger of slow
motion, etc.
When our esteemed President went
abroad on his own hook, in the dis
guise of The Great Moral Armada, he
undertook to point out to the coun-
tries of Europe the folly Of their ways.
They all listened attentiyely, nodded
wisely and applauded sympathetically.
What they heard was very edifying.
1t was wrong to squabble over terri
tory. 1t was wrong to subjugate small
helpless peoples. 1t was wrong to have
a government that did not rest upon
the hearty consent of the governed.
And he unfolded to them the Fourteen
points. In ali the annals of statecraft
you cannot find fourteen prettier
points than those which our esteemed
President pointed out And what hap
pened?
France rejected Wilson's views on
Germany; Italy rejected his views on
Fiume; England rejected nearly all
his views on everything, and the
Premiers of those three countries
combined to reject his views on Tur-
key. Now, Lloyd George has rejected
Wilson'S views on the League of Ma
lions. What Roumania, Belgium
Portugal and Monaco think of his
views on the weather, the higher life
and the ouija board has not yet been
officially announced
The end of the old poem, however,
IS 0nllSnC0nlnS.
'"The sermon now ended,
Each turned and descended;
The pixies went on stealing,
The cells went on ceiling;
Much edited were they,
But preferred the old way.
"The crabs are backsliders,
The stock-fish thick--siders.
The carps are sharp set
All the sermon forget;
Much delighted were they,
But preferred the old way"

Frederick Stanley. son of Mr.. and
Mrs w. D. Stanley writes an inter-
esting letter from The wheat fields OF
Kansas. In company with Robert
Evenson he went to Chicago and from
there to Kansas City and on to the
wheat fields. The trains were crowded
with strong and enthusiastic seekers
of the ripening grain. Fred
writes the wheat waves in the breeze
just like a great ocean. Headers are
used and each farmer has hundreds
of acres to gather. Help seems to be
more plentiful than last year, the
price being paid is $500 per day.
Years ago the price paid on the
farm during the harvesting was only
SIS per month, irins more for a
short time
Then it required about three hours
of labor to produce a bushel; with
improved machinery the time has been
reduced to about ten minutes. Even
with modern methods it keeps the
world struggling to keep apace for the
demands for food.
Frederick tells of the experiences
Iof the two in Chicago seeing the
crowds, the run of the fire department
and many other interesting sights. Mel

SOVIET WOMEN

By Carl D. Groat,

United Press Staff Correspondent )
 Berlin, June 30.-Recogntion of Russia was counselled here today by Mrs. Philip Snowden of the British labor mission to Russia, as the safest means of heading Russia off from de- velopment into an "imperialstic, cap italistic and militaristic nation with Napoleon at it's head, threatening all Europe"
 Her plea was not based on pro- bolshevlsm, for the commission has not come out as "pros." Bolsheyism, she declared, had failed to live up to its own standards, and as for it's ex- tension to other lands, Mrs. Snowden regarded that as out of the question. But" she said, "I believe that rec ognltion of Russia by the rest of the world would be the quickest way to alter the system there and correct the evils now existing. Let in the light and the winds of kindness. Let in criticism. When Russia knew the criticism of the rest of the world, it would quickly change. In fact, think that bolshevism's internal critics once backed by the public opinion of the rest of the world and strengthen ed by political recognition of the na- tion-would soon see to it that mod lfication of the situation was accom- pilshed."
 "What have you to say as to the Bolshevik danger to the rest of the world" the correspondent asked.
 Ut can be a danger" she replied. Il believe Russia is going to defeat the Poles. And, l can tell you that every victory makes things worse, since it gives Russia a new pride, a new confidence. And the growth of this spirit can be dangerous to the rest of the world. l am convinced that if Russia is not recognized, but instead is fought, she will simply grow into an imperialistic, captalistic and militaristc nation with d Napo- leon at it's head And, if d Napoleon IS let loose on Europe in it's present
 
 frightful calamity"
 She declared bolshevism was Rus sia's method of expressing the world wide movement of labor for "bet. ter deal" than heretofore. For Eng. and, the system would be impossible though Mrs. Snowden advocates con siderable alterations in the British parliamentary system.
 As for the condition of women il Russia, Mrs. Snowden declared:
 "They are one an absolutely equa footing with men, They receive tn, same pay for the same work, hay, equal suffrage, and are everywhcr treated as mems equals. The indus trial situation is such that all womel must work.
 "As for the children, I can say tha there is strong effort Q upbuId tn, growing generation The former no bles' estates are converted nto fresl air homes for groups Of children, anr insofar as possible, the children arr given preferential food treatment"
 Mrs. Snowden regards the prescu Russian system as depotsm just q despotic as cZarim thought not quit opposite lines But she believes, a does pr. Guest of the commission, tha certain amount of capitalism will b injected ultimately into the bolshcvie tic regime.
