Bolshevish was doomed from the be-
ginning, is really well under way.
Perhaps, the most significant fact
in the situation is that the present dis
affection is not confined to~the cities.
but runs practically throughout all
Russia. It sis a matter Of common
knowledge that Bolshevisn has never
been Strong in the Russian rural dis
tricts. The rural population has been
beaten and terrified into acceptance
Of i control which it feared and re-
sented. AND enforced support has been
gived. But the peasants have quite
largely adopted the policy Of passive
resistance, producing only what would
suffice for their own needs. as their
surplus. If they had any, was sure to

a military force is OF little use against
a population scattered on the farms

Moscow government seems at last to
be brought face to face, and 1t seems
not at all unlikely that Russia has

MONDAY EVENING. MARCH IA.
DEEaAATIoN.

It was for some time apparent to
most people some months 6 that a
period Of daflation must come, and
that prices. which had been sent soar
Ing by war conditions, must return,
not exactly to the pre-war basis, but
tn somewhere within mailing distance
Of basis.
There were some who opposed the
downward movement at the outset,
They had made money during the era
Of high prices, and they liked the az
perience. They failed to recognize the
fact that prices cannot advance In
definitely any more than the waters OF
a flowing stream can be confined per-
manently behind a dam. The dam
may be built higher and higher. but
the water will always rise to the top.
and there will come a limit to the
height which a be reached. In the
meantime the, pressure Mas been in
,crcaSng, and q break assure to come
somewhere ~
The war period brought into G1is-
tence an immense number Of bust
ness concerns without capital or az
perienee, which made money solely on
the rapid increase in prices. These
concerns were not calculated for ordi-
nary business conditions. They could
exist only under abnormal conditions.
Even if prices became stationary they
could not, exist. And prices could not
always advance.
From such sources there has been
a loud protest against the process Of
deflation. Not a few of such con-
Germs have gone to the wall. In many
cases the business situation has been
improved BY their elimination, They
were unsound in construction and
equally unsound in method. Their
existence made it more difficult for
legitimate business concerns to live.
One of the elements tending to the
restoration of prices to something that
can compare with pre-war conditions
is the elimination of Just such cob
Germs. They were leeches, existing at
the expense of the public and con-
tributing nothing of service toward il.
The business outlook Is all the
brighter today because Of the process
Of deflation that has been going on.
In the main the process has been
gradual enough to avoid panic. Some
interests, notably the agricultural in
terest, have been hard hit But with
the nearer approach to normal the
country can go ahead with the assur-
ance that labor and thrift will receive
their reward.

A HoLDUP DEFEATED.

The decision Of the supreme court
to the effect that counties to which
the Bank Of North Dakota is indebted
may garuishee funds which the state
institution has deposited with local
banks is a direct reputation by the
court OF the doctrine advanced by
Mr.. -Lemke that the Bank Of North
Dakota is above and beyond the law,
and is at liberty to adopt what course
it pleases. with reference to the han
ding OF funds entrusted to its Gus
indy
The procedure Of the industrial
commission in this case was entirely
consistent with the methods Of the
same political element whenever the
ordinary rules Of law and the accept,
sd business practice Of the country
stood in the way. Laws, rules, reg
ulations. have been ignored or brushed
aside. This was consciously
and extensively rue in the case OF the
attitude Of the Bank of North Dakota.
toward the deposits of funds Of local
communities This money had been
entrusted to the state bank for safe
keeping. Some Of 1t had been locked
up in Investments which. whatever
their ultimate security, could not be
realized on. Such were the farm
mortgage loans and the advances
made to other state Industries A
large share of this money had been
distributed in the form of ~redeposits
and LOANS among banks operated in
direct connection with the Townley
political movement, and by these
subcrdinate banks had been loaned on
accommodations and other paper is
