Civil War in West Virginia.

4 state of civil war prevails up in
West Virginia that is symptom of
a bad condition. Martial law has been
declared in certain areas in conse-
Guence of the activity of mine strikers.
Recently agitators seeking to pre-
cipitate Il conflict between. the troops
stationed for the preservation of order
in this region and the radicals have
been voicing loud protests against the
state of martial law. and have organ
lied groups of armed men whose pur-
pose is obviously to attack the troops.
1t has been estimated that at least 900
of these men have been assembled,
ready for an advance into the county
that has been placed under military
guard. If they do so a fight is likely
to result and blood will be shed. And
this is in a state of the American COM
monweaIth. 1t is, as already said, civil
war.
There is no particular danger in this
demonstration of lawlessness. 1t will
he suppressed if the plan is carried
to the point of actual encounter. There
will be no lack of state or, if need be,
federal forces to put down the revolt.
But the affair should be considered as
symptom, and on that score 1t is
most disquieting. 1t does not, OF
course. mean that this country is on
the verge of revolution. The condi-
tions in West Virginia are not char
acteristic. 1t is practically an isolated
case But these West Virginia recalci-
trants are the victims of agitators who
are seeking insidiously to break down
government in the United States.
They have chosen the miners of the
area that has been aptly called the
dunn for a demonstration. If martial
law can be defied in. Mingo county,
W. Va, it will be hailed as victory
against "capitalistic tyranny" But 1t
cannot be so defied there any more
than anywhere else as long as the ma.
jority of the people are behind state
and the federal governments in the
maintenance of order, whatever may
be the merits of the Industrial dis
putes giving rise ito friction.
The West Virginia troubles. pro-
NOTED by radicals Of foreign extrac.
ton, are the more difficult because of
the strong spirit Of personal inde.
pendence prevailing among the noun
taineers of that region. Many Of the
miners are aliens. but in their fight
against the operators they have the
sympathy of large percentage Of the
native people Of the section. In this
respect the West Virginia affair is
distinct from conditions that are likely
to prevail elsewhere than in the
United States.

Weed-Grown Lots,

making it unlawful to permit weeds

possible for the Commissioners to

that is seriously troublesome to many
people. This old law was aimed at the

But there is a health reason for it as

The Drift of Lenin.

Lenin is drifting. His drift began
months ago. possibly as early as the
first hegira of Washington Vanderiip
into the land of the soviets. He has
given up the militarization of labor.
His back has been turned on the ma
tionalization of lands. The peasant
can keep, sell or SOW such grains as
he does not use in paying his taxes.
Lenin has crawled back. inch by
inch. Land has been denationalized,
banks have been authorized. Russia
is about to go back to the use of
ernment will fix no more wages. 1t
now permits trading and trafficking.
Russians who ride on street cars,
trains and vessels must pay their
fares. Little factories are being re-
established.
All this gives form and color to the
report that Lenin is moving toward
a coalition government that will in
clude the mensheviki. the socialists
Of the right and other elements that
task is to convince the more moder-
ate communists, of whom Trotsky is
not, that it is better to do this than
to let Russia die in her own house.
There always has been the possibil-
ity of such an evolution. Russia had
to move in some direction. She had
moved to the limits of revolution and
radicalism. The only direction she
can move is back. Lenin., who has
been called the intellectual giant of
the revolution" seems to have had
the intellect to see this a good while
ago and make the start. Comparison

Henry Ford, Railroader,

Henry Ford's resuscitation of the
Detroit, Toledo and Ironton railroad
will remain unique for some time to
come unless the methods which he
used are capable of widespread appli-
cation. One may suppose that 1t was
comparatively easy to apply them to
the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton. for
this little road was so sadly in need
of reorganization that drastic changes
were presumably welcomed without
many mental reservations on the part
effect and who knew that the old
ways had brought the road into bank
ruptcy.
At any rate, an article by Prof.
Hoagland in the New York Times re-
ports results which are amazing
enough to attract the attention OF
even the most stolid of old d-time rail:
readers. The Detroit. Toledo ana

Wall Street Signs and Portents.

From Wall Street comes a report
that "the infrequent investor" has
made his appearance again. "The
infrequent investor" els superior
being in whom all brokers believe
His appearance in force foreshadows
an upward turn in the market He
buys when most people are selling,
and sells when most people are buy
ing, and through some peculiar finan-
cial instinct for the top and bottom he
is always right. His last great de-
monstration is said to have been in
the early fall Of 1919. when he sold
and went south.
Man loves to believe that some
where in the human race there are

beings. That is why most men so

MORGENTHAU AND

There is no better illustration
of the unsoundness of extreme
and fanatical thinking on any
subject, and of the necessity of
guarding against it than the re-
cent article of Mr.. Henry Nor
genthau in the Worlds Work on
"Zionism a Surrender, Not a So
luton" and Shmarya Levin's ar
ticle in the New Palestine on
"Galuth Nationalism." Both deal
with Zionism, and especially
Zionism in America. For Mr..
Morgenthau writes from the
point of view of an American
Jew, and supposedly on behalf of
American Jews. At least, his in
terest centers in his coreligion-
lists Of America. Shmarya Le-
vim, too, deals with American
Zionism, or with that conception
of it of which the former heads of
the American organization are
the representatives.
Mr.. Morgenthau sums up his
verdict on Zionism as being
wrong in principle, unsound in

PREPAREDNESS.

According to the plan adopted
by the Committee of One Hun
dred for the 1922 Community
Fund Campaign in Minneapolis,
the benefciaries in 1922 are to be
restricted to those which render
local service. 1t means that the
liberal amount hitherto drawn
from this fund for Jewish war and
pogrom sufferers abroad will no
longer be available from that
source, and will have to be raised
by us in some other way.
That we shall be called upon to
make Our usual contribution to
the national fund for relief abroad
goes without saying. The dis
tress of Our brethren has not only
not diminished but has in some
countries or districts sunk to un-
fathomable depths of misery. The
agonizing conditions of Our peo-
pie in parts of Soviet Russia are
indescribable. The only Jewish
community to which they can and
must still look for help is that of
the u. S. A.
1t is we'll, therefore, that the
Jewish people of Minneapolis
consider the matter and plan the
work in time. The fall holidays
are aDDrOachinp the hottest and
most solemn days of the Jewish
calendar, the days when Jewish
hearts are particularly suscepti-
bic to tender promptings, and
particularly responsive to stir
ring appeals. They may have to
be utilized for the cause of Jew
ish relief abroad. At any rate,
let us have the matter in mind
Preparedness will save us great
deal of anxiety afterwards.
