A HOPEFUL SIGN.

At least one of the railroads in this section, the St. Louis Southwest ern, has signalized its return to pri- yate ownership by announcing ex- tensiye Improvements. These and other improvements are not all, by great deal, that should be made. The Cotton Belt like the other roads is far behind. It's program of main tenance and improvement went to rack during the war. The railroads are against a big proposition in en- deavoring to operate on their own footing. They admittedly face de- xiSjt 1t the start, but they seem to xetiige that this deficit can't be made m. and perhaps can be kept down, by |these Improvements.

LETTING RUSSIA WORK IT OUT

The new proposal of the Soviet
 Government of Russia, to let the world alone if the rest of the world will let Russia alone, is one that the rest of the world should accept, even if 1t should be discovered later that secret Bolshevik activity continued with the encouragement of the Rus sian dictators, says the Globe-Demo- crat. The offer includes a promise to- call a constitutional convention and to rescind the order repudating the Russian debt to the extent of ac- cepting responsibility for 60 per cent of 1t. The error of sending troops into Russia to help fight the Soviet Government is now apparent. The Russian people were not Bolshevists and did not understand what it all meant, but they did understand the fact of foreign soldiers on Russian soil fighting Russians. They per- formed military service when con scripted to- ~repel invasion. It is re- ported by special investigators, that the soldiers in the Red Army are in the vast majority not radicals and that at least 60 per cent of the off cers are not, many of them being still czarists in their sentiment. Conditions are such that those off ccrs who are not in sympathy with Bolshevism are compeled to serve in the Red Army. They have no other way of making living and their families are held as practical hos tages for their good behavior. Yet these conditions cannot remain per manent. Only the war against in- vasion has continued them. With all outside interference ended and Russian affairs left to take na- rural course, the outcome will be gradual change of the present Bol- shevik dictatorship to more demo cratic government.
 Three Russian armies are said to be doing industrial work under mili- tary discipline. This is an exercise of autocratic power over the acts and lives of the people greater than in the palmiest days of czarism and military bureaucracy. How long the people will submit to it nobody can tee, but that it cannot endure is cer- tain. Either more democratic gov ernment will improve such cond-I lions or there will come counter re- volution in which the revolting workers will have the support of the larger portion of the army Those things will have to work themselves out ,and they will do so if the other nations keep their hands off. Pos sibly it is recognition of the fact that the present dictatorship cannot be maintained much longer which in- duces Lenin to promise to call a convention. Probably { Whatever convention he may call will be arbitrarily restricted in its so as to exclude any Representatives of the hated bour- geoise and prevent the peasants ex- ercising too much influence, yet no convention could be expected to go the full length of the soviet dicta- tors. At any rate a constitution is a matter for the Russian people themselves both to adopt and to maintain or overthrow ,as 1t may please or displease the people in its operation. The consideration now is that the owners have made com plete mess and failure of their in in Russian affairs and it Is time to quit.
