THURSDAY EVENING, JULY Is
-GREss BACKWARD.

Nfkolai Lenine says that when
1t took Russia 80 years to. progress
from absolutism to capitalism it Is
not strange that it should take some
time for the country to pass into
a condition Of rea democracy. He
refers to the very evident truth that
the development of a nation depends
on the education of the people, and
when his statement is. analysed he
seems to hold out little hope for the
creation Of a real Russian nation I'M
til there has been time to educate
the next generation. This may dash
the enthusiasm of some who have be-
heved that Russia had already arrived
at a blissful state of perfect freedom
and perfect government.
Lenine is right in his idea that, the
development Of a nation takes time.
the slowness of the movement which
is commonly observed, and tolerance
of the mistakes which are bound to
occur. But there is a difference be-
tween going forward and going back
ward. Russia is going backward.
The system of government which
prevailed under the late car was far
from being ideal. In TACT, judged
by The standards of modern civiliza-
ton, it was monstrous. But under
it progress was possible, n progress
had been achieved. The system failed
to accommodate itself to the growing
consciousness and intelligence of the
people, and it was overthrown. The
government which followed had cor
rect ideals. but it lacked resolution
and physical force. Moreover, it met
at first the stealthy and then the open
opposition of the element which con-
ceived progress as something to be
attained by the provisional govern
ment the loss of its own opportuni-
ties. Therefore the Kerensky govern
ment vas first betrayed and then over
whelmed, and n place of the effort to
establish orderly government on the
basis of democracy came abandon
ment to anarchy. or to that state
wherein he exercises despotic powers
who can seize and hold them. That
is the condition of Russia today. and it
is government on that basis which
America is asked by cranks and
~visionarieS to recognize.

.erning political parties, 1t has WELD
ed an influence which would other
wise have been impossible.
One Of the essentials of the leagues
operations is its non-partisanshtp,
that iA, Its perfect impartiality as be-
tween existing rival political organ
izationA The. purpose at the outset
was to create a compact, manageable
organization. the votes of whose mem
bers would be delivered solidly to the
candidates approved by the manage
ment. no matter to what political par
ty they belonged. Naturally, the ac-
tivities Of the organization would be
conferred on the work of securing con-
troll of tho organization of The dom
inant party in each state chosen as a
field Of action. To this end the MEM
bers were expected to transfer their
political affiliation from one party to
another as the conditions demanded.
SO that the members would be CLASH
fled as Republicans in one state and
Democrats in another. First and al
ways, however. they were to be
Leaguers.
The plan worked well in North Da-
kota, where control of the Republic
an organization IA secured. and
while the current has set strongly
against it, the method of procedure
is one which gives any minority of
considerable size political power out
of all proportion to its numbers, so
long as those not in harmony with
the league policies and management
choose to accommodate their oppo-
nents by dividing themselves into
competing groups under different
party names.
Wherever the laws of a state oper-
ate to prevent those who think alike
On state issues from working and act
ing together in relation to those is
sues, to the end hat their forces may
be combined for the accomplishment
of a common purpose, those laws are
injurious to the state and should
promptly be repealed or amended.
The laws of North Dakota which pro-
vide for the nomination of state can
didates Is members of party organ
izations should be changed.

BROTHERHOOD,

Under the toiler's grimy shirt,
Under the sweat and the grease. and
dirt,
Under the rough outside you view,
Is a man who thinks and feels as you.
Go talk with him,
Go walk with him,
Sit down with him by a running
Away from the things that are kissing
steam,
Away. from his bench,
His hammer and wrench,
And the grind of need
And the sordid deed; .r
And this you'll find
AS he bareS his mind
In the things which count when this
life is through
He's as tender and big and as good as
you.
Be fair with him.
And share with him
An hour Of time in a restful place,
Brother to brother and face to face,
And he'll whisper low
OF the long ago.
OF a loved one dead
And the tears he shed;
And you'll come to see
That in suffering he, b..
With you, is hurt by the self rod
And turns for help to the self-same
God.
You hope as he.
You dream of splendors, and 80 does
he.
His children must be as you'd have
yours be,
He shares your love
For the Flag above.
He laughs and sings .a
For the self-same things;
When he's understood
He is mostly good.
Thoughtful Of others and kind and
true,
Brave. devoted-and much like you.
Under the totier's grimy shirt,
Under the sweat and the grease and
dirt,
Under the rough outside you view,
Is a man who thinks and feels as YOU.

DR.. Butler Says Administra'

Aroused Central America.

THE present Administration long
ago slienated the sympathy and
aroused the suspicion OF the South

DR.. Butler said that the Apsrics n

He stated that America must re-
gain the confidence and good will OF
other nations by returning TO the
consistent foreign policy pursued.
with but slight interruption, from
Washington to Taft and from Benja-

to John Hay and EIihu Root. This
Is a policy of international co-opers-
