NOW THESE RoosHIANs

Before the revered city commission accepts the suggestion of organized propagandists and goes on record as against recognition of the bolshevist government of Russia, let us suggest that they first read over a series of articles by H. c. Wells, just published after a trip of investigation in Russia MT. Wells is a noted English author and writer and we need not fear that he speaks for selfish motives or that he is going off half cooked. <"
 After describing things as he really saw them Mir. Wells, in his corclud- ing article, published in the Chicago Tribune. sets forth his main convic- tions about the Russian situation. Quoting at random:
 modern civilization of the western type, least disciplined and most ram shacllle of all the great powers, is now a modern civilization in extrenis |. Nothing like this Russian down fall has ever happened before. If it goes on for a year or so more the process of collapse will be complete.
 Nothing will be left of Russia but a country of peasants: They will become a sort of human swamp in a state of division, petty civil war. and political squalor with a famine when ever the harvests are bad; and they will be breeding epidemics for the rest
 'The only possible government that can stave off such a final collapse of Russia now is the present bolshevist government, if it can be assisted by America and the western powers There is now no alternative to that government possible. There are, oi course, a multitude of antagonists adventurers. and the like. ready, with European assistance. to attempt the overthrow Of that bolshevist govern ment, but there are no signs of any common purpose and moral unity capable of replacing it.
 And. moreover, there is no time now for another revolution in Russia 4 year more of civil war will make the final sinking of Russia out of civiliza ton inevitable. We have to mak, what we can. therefore. of the bol shevst government, whether we lik' it or not
 And taking up the desirability O helpful intervention. in the line o trade and credits, by such a power a. the United States. Mir. Wells says
 The only alternative to such helpful intervention in bolshevis Russia is, I firmly believe, the fina collapse of all that remains of moderl civilization throughout all that wa! formerly the Russian empire It i: highly improbable that the collaps, will be limited to it's boundaries Both eastward and westward, othe great regions may one after anothe tumble into the big hole in civiliza ton thus created p0ceih1v al modern civilization may tumble in !
 It would seem then. the better par of discretion to hold an open mind ol the Russian question for the tim being.

WHAT's TEE ANsWER7

Well, afte< batting the street dept. on the back for it's Jefferson street work last week. HOW we must come along with a grouch. How in the name of all that is fair and reasonable is it permitted to an inconsiderate person to dig trench across a public street and then leave it, one-half with a mound foot high and the other with a hole six inches deep, for the riding publick to bounce over or all into and cpss and damn the city authorities and the world in general? We ask. why is 1t permitted? Why should hundreds ot people daily be put to inconvenience and danger because of the thoughtless- ness of one or two? Some sap-head put fine scar on that Jefferson street job with such a trick.

YARNS OF THE BURG

Dear Sir: A certain party. as the gossips are fond of phrasing it, waltzed into the office the other day and said: "Oh. I've got something swell for the Camers Back
 ''Well, let's have it. I think the edi- tor is looking for good material" l said.
 Why. during the course of a con- versation with a gentleman this morn- ing he wanted to say that he thought the outcome of such and such matter would be very problematical. but in- stead he said 1t would be very 'um- bellical.' Now, what do you think of that; isn't it rich?"
 ''Rich is right. It sounds something like the lost chord" I answered.

ITS cLEvAH. BUT IS TT AHT?"

Some of our more than constant readers will recall the sample or poetry we clipped from the Line O'Type Or Two, dubbed the left to right school. It was about Yosme, and Tlitsli and the pink plank of his guitar, at Khulam- hzar, etc, etc, and altogether it tickled the imagination. 1t was by Riquarius. Now comes another old time contributor, P. D. S., with a screaming parody which, my dear we ought to treat as we do a comical souse-we shouldn't laugh, but we can't help ourselves. The point being that one shouldn't laugh at real art If one doesn't like the real art he should walk out of the galleries and buy a seat in the nearest Chaplin movie. And Riquarius' stuff is real art. Anyhow-here's the parody:

Little Comments

At the expense Of Col. ]. H. Bloom,
the editorial writer Of the Journal
went to Bismarck to attend the spec
ial session of the state legislature
Now he tells of his interviews with
Governor Frazier. That the public
may know, The World publishes what
he says:
"The writer had attempted many
times, during the last special session
of the legislature to get a tangible
interview with him regarding various
state matters, but every time Cover
nor Frazier was asked a pertinent
question he referred the questioner
TO Lawyer Anderson, who was always
trailing him to prevent his foot from
slipping when talking to newspaper
men. The governor expressed
an original idea to newspaper men
during the session. All his alleged
interviews being given out either by
Massn, his secretary, Lawyer Ander-
son or Gummerson, Bismarck cores
pondent of the Courier News, who
usually wrote the interviews for the
governor. Farmers who think they
have in the governors chair a nan
of executive ability and original
ideas and moods have eve talked
with Frazier intimately. He sits in
the chair, but Lemke, Townley, Wood
and Mason, are his spoksemen-and
~dictators."
May God help the man who has to
resort to those tactics even in the
newspaper game to make his bread
and butter"-and Col. Bloom paid the
bill. Because "the writer of the
Journal article couldn't get home un-
til he wired for money-he was kow-
towing with Happy" Pau1son, writ
or of the Fargo Forum - at Col.
Blooms expenses-a traitor to even
the mar that fed him.

Is there an ounce Of honesty in tho
