PRESS COMMENTS.
lT6 DOWNFALL CERTAIN.

The previous SUCCESS of the Bolshevik
armies in overcoming those Of Poland and
the danger to Warsaw have bern hailed by
all radicals as evidence OF the strength Of
the Soviet Republic and the persistence
and soundncss Of the Bolshevik principle
OF government. IL has been sought to
liken the Russian success to that which nt-
tended the arms Of the Revolution Of
France against the allied armies in 1889
and subsequent years The analogy fails
upon examination. The Bolshcvik disaster
on the Bug and in the environs Of tho
Polish capital answers the suggestion.
Lcnine and Trotzky are conducting a
government which is n worse dcspotIsm
than that Of the Cxars and rests much
more completely on pure military force.
The accumulation OF evidence upon this
head il Overwhelming. John Spargo, the
Socialist, has published another interest
ing book on the subject, in which he con-
firms, under the title OF "The Greatest
Failure in History" his former conclu-
sions ~ to the hollow mockery Of liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness which the
Soviet Republic presents. Socialists from
England Of the most extreme type return
ing from personal observation Of conditions
in Russia under Lenine have been cured
Of his government and its policies. No
greater penalty could have been visited
upon Emma Goldman and Bergman than
the sending of them back TO enjoy the
heaven of Bolshevism to which they have
been inviting their deluded victims in this
country. Their punishment fits their
crime.
The news Of tho defeat Of the Soviet
forces will, of course, take some time to
reach the Russian people. The censorship
of the press is such that every effort will be
made to minimize its extent. The neccs-
sity for further recruiting and the cxact-
ing Of more sacrifices will, however, make
it impossible TO keep from the now suffer
ing and overburdened constituencies the
facts and the knowledge OF them must
weaken the Soviet government and will
be one Of the important factors in its
downfall. Editorial by Ex-President Taft
in Philadelphia Ledger.

SOUND AND SILENCE.
Annie E. Michener.

A pale, pale moon, in a southern sky,
A massive, fire tree towering high,
The tinkle, tinkle Of bell,
As Joy and Boss" roam through ths
dell
The song of the insects, constant, shrill,
And the lone, lone cry Of the vhippoor.
will,
/ turn, and woods on every side,
Great lovely trees where ghosts might
glide;
The circle makes a fine retreat,
Better far than busy street;
A qrlarter-mile of winding lane
Ere we can reach the world again.
The cav of crow in its rapid fight,
The crash Of tree from its lofty height,
The peep of chickens, the horses neigh,
And the bark of two pretty dogs IN play
But have not heard the laughing owl
Who keeps awake at night To prowi.
A deserted cabin, black, foriorn
Stands on the edge of tasseled corn;
With the cabin IN Its prime
There may have been happy time,
When little pickaninnies gay
Wandered Ger the farm AT play.
Pears in plenty, and apples round,
Some branches trailing on the ground;
Cantaloupes, and melons sweet,
Beside a patch of fire buckwheat;
Fields of potatoes, sweet and white,
And the grapes are growing as l write.
The morning glory kreets the dawn,
The Virginia IVY creeps into song
nj hn gYnlhanrrH
That ever seems TO smile, and nod,
And vet within. this verdant glade
There fingers, too, the dread nlghtshade.
| hear the new of the tabby-cat,
And the winged whirr of the ugly bat;
| Just caught glimpse of little toad
Hopping along on his homeward road;
The fireflies flicker in the air,
There's sound and silence everywhere.
The moon climbs over the walnut top,
Just then | heard an apple drop;
Loud WAS the call of the dinner bell,
One of our number rang 1t we'll;
While the little springhouse, quaint and
Is holding plenty of good things, too.
In front, an orchard sloplng down,
Forms picture OF renown,
THE Old Oaken Bucket" here the song,
Its helping TO make my story long;
In chairs and swings in the mellow light
We sit meath the pine this southern night.
Whether we gaze on a marvellous sky,
EVERYWHERE white clouds meeting the eye,
Held in sea of infinite blue
Changing to snow, or ram, or dew,
Whether a tree, or an apple fall,
God is the maker and giver of all.
Near Fairfax, Va, Sept. l, 1920.
