A CURIOUS STATEMENT.

In his appearance before tho Senate
committee, the so-styled ambassador
of the Russian Soviet government, Mr..
Martens, testified that the Bolsheviki no
longer contemplate tho subjugation of
all other nations There could not be better
testimony to the solidarity of American
sentiment, and the absolute impervious-
ness of the labor unions to their propaganda
This is not the reason advanced, how
ever, for the professed change of policy.
This is that the Soviet government is now
strong enough to whip the worldl So it
transpires that when the Soviet govern
ment was weak it was bent upon CON
querang the world by force of arms. when
the Soviet government became strong it
gave up the idea. A curious round OF
reasoning, thoroughly and insincerely
BolshevIk
The backbone of the strength of the
Soviet government appears to be tho
fact that there lis no fluid wealth In the
hands of the people, or of the banks; that
it is all in the hands of the government--a
band OF highway robbers, according TO this
version. The amount given as the fluid
wealth In the possession of the govern
ment Of Russia is half billion, about
enough to purchase toothpicks for Amerl-
cans for year and to pay their tipping
bill for like period Yet, with this half
billion the Soviets could whip the worldl
And the Senate committee has TO listen
TO this drivel incidentally, the witness
for Russia says Revolutionary activi-
ties or disposition here is purely Arneri-
can--in which he is both insulting and
lying. The labor unions complain of the
alien born Russian radicals as their OF "
troublemakers ers.-Baltimore American

Sudden Ending Of a Fight.

Very unexpected was the public
announcement, yesterday, by Chairman
James F. Alice, Jr., of the Kent County
Republican Committee, that he had
rendered TO the committee his resignation
as chairman. and would also retire from
membership in the committee at tbe close
of his term He frankly stated his con-
clusion that my further continuance as
your chairman may not be conducive
to the best interests of the party and
added that he could not continue IN his
present position Of political activity
without detriment to his business inter
ests Hence, his intention TO retire.
Yet within week Chairman Alice
had been vigorously waging factional
contest against the Old Organization
wing of the Republican party IN Kent
county. which, under the lead of former
County Chairman James A. Hirons,
had been endeavoring to oust hum and
secure control of the party. What Was
the cause of this sudden and radical con-
version? The plea of business interests
does not seem to be complete and reveal
ing explanation
Recently there have been runners that
Alfred /. du Pont contemplated retirlng
from his active participation of the past
few years IN Delaware politics. 1t is
only reasonable, therefore, that many
should entertain the impression that
herein is found the explanation of the
sudden change of front by his political
leader in Kent county. State Senator
Alice. And If Mr.. du Pont retires from

PENSIONS EXTRAORDINARY.

Get Cabinet position In Spain and
YOU will receive pension OF z 900 pesetas
q year for the rest of our life. If you serve
only one day your pension is secure for
all the rest Of your yesrs. Cabinets change
rapidly in Spain, and there are now about
$50 ex-ministers on the pension roll.
1t has been hard to persuade Spanish
cabinet to do away with this evil-just
about as hard as it has been to persuade an
American Congress to abolish the mileage
graft. But at last . cabinet OF altruistic
tendencies has been set up at Madrid,
and it proposes to wipe out all ministerial
pensions. Not only for themselves and
their SUCCESSORS, but also for their pred
ecessors who have been the benehcIaries
of the system, they seek to eliminate the
pensions. An ex-minister will, If the court
approves the measure, be compelled to
work for living just like anyone else
No wonder there is unrest In Spain, if
the statute books contain many laws
ike this. What would we say in this
country if all our ex-members of presi-
dental cabinets were knocking down
81 400 q year for nothing. Cleveland

Hslitical Railroadlne.

Australia, for quite long while, haa
conducted tho experiment Of govern
mcnt wqcd and controlled railroads
Time was when those who earnestly sup
ported the great cause Of paternal govern
mcnt pointed with pride to tho railroad
situation in Australia N an effective ex-
emplifi, alton Of the great benefit to accruc
to the people by governmental conduct
OF their public utilities. But even in the
palmiest days these contentious were not
supported by the actual results, and now
it is frankly written down that the systcn.
of government control and operation OF
railroads in Australia is anything but .
success II has been losing operation
for long time, and last years losses
were enormous.
But we do not have to depend upon
Austraha for evidence to this end. Inc
government-owned and operated TALL
roads in Europe, even before the breaking
out OF the Great War, were a source OF
loss instead of profit, while the charges
for freight and passenger service were
greatly in excess Of these then prevalent
in our country, while the service Was
greatly inferior. And now we have pain
full evidence that even here IN the United
States, where we claim to do all things
little better than they are done IN other
countries, we are approaching the end
of an experiment in the control and opera
tions of the railroads by the general
government with a record OF fiat failure.
Government operation has been more
costly than private operation: charges
have been radically increased, While
its service does not compare in efficiency
with the service that was rendered by the
former regime
Yet lot Of misguided persons are
clamoring for the permanent fastening
Of this disastrous. costly and irritating
experiment upon the country For
there is reasonable probability
that better counsels will prevail, and that
our railroads will soon be restored TO
their former owners.

AMERICAN RICE.

One of the lessons which the strenuous
task of getting something TO eat without
spending more than they earn has taught
the American people is that rice is veg
efable rather than dessert, and that
it is a staple American product. The con-
ditions Of the war have made this more
than ever true. We can raise excellent
rice in our Southern areas, and we do
raise enough Of it SO that in 10 months OF
last year We sent 2S2, 900 600 pounds TO
other countries. This compares with 26,-
10000 sent in 10 months Of, 1913. And
what our growers received for what they
sent out last year was $25, 1872 900, as
compared with 1888 600 received for the
amount mentioned in 1918.
This is another illuminating example

Action. Not Talk. is Needed.

Once more the community is gravely
informed that the City Council proposes
to institute legal action for the collection
of the large amount Of unpaid taxes that
has long clogged the city's tax accounts.
The latest announcement is that the city
solicitor is preparing TO press SUITS Tor
unpaid taxes amounting to more than
sI25 900. and when he obtains judgment
the properties will be sold to satisfy the
tax liens.
This is all very well as far as 1T goes
but how far docs it go, or will 1T go!
This kind of talk has been indulged IN for
years. The inefficient City Council has
been going to- collect these unpaid
taxes-some of them overdue for years
for many. many moons, but still the
accounts remain open. They are still
an asset" OF the city, but thus far merely
as tax charges, although they constitute
reliable liens.
There is not, and never was, the slight
est reason for the accumulation of these
unpaid tax accounts. The taxes should
have been collected TO the last dollar OF
the duplicates, year after year, save
cnly those accounts justly allowable as
errors or those held up by litigation.
Kent county has for several years IN
succession showed how it is possible to
collect each years tax duplicate in full
within each tax year. But our City
Council fails to profit by this fine example,
even to endeayoring to compel collection
of taxes long overdue 1t is hoped the
latest move viii bring results.
