The Lesson Of Russia

In Russia today there is coming to its final stage
with uncertain rapdty but with certain trend one OF
the most gigantic political experiments that has ever
been made by the human race.
The news dispatches from day to day give us con-
flicting and often contradictory gmpses of what is
taking place in Russia but the final result is not mat
ter of any uncertainty has it been uncertain at any
time since the experiment begun.
1t is matter of great Importance to all the people
of all the nations to understand what is taking place
in Russia, and what is the real meaning of the lesson
that the Russian people learning at such tremen-
dous cost to themselves.
The people of more civilized nations-and least of
all the people of the United States-are not likely to
undertake similar experiment. yet there are in
the United States some who afflicted with the
kind of political insanity that has brought such disaster
upon Russia and who would be willing to plunge this
happy land into blood fire and ruin in pursuit of the
same impossbities that Trotsky and Lenne promised
Ito their deluded followers.
There are many minor details that obscure the view
of the central of Boshevism, but it may be fairly
said that its most vital difference from Amercanism is
that it contradicts fundamental principle Of
ernment whose authority rests upon all the people, act
ling by authority derived from all the people, and whose
activities are directed toward the welfare of all the
people.
No minority government, whatever that minority may
be- be representative popular self government Any
kind of minority government tends toward tyranny and
misery of the common people.
Least of all is it possible that the class of socalled
proletarat the who have had least experience in
the management of large affairs and least in
obtaining for themselves the things that all desire,
would be able to overthrow the structure of civilized
government and to build upon its ruins something that
would serve the purposes for which government is
essary among
The call to the "Sufferin- Masses of the people
to take from their oppressois the things they
have been able to get peacefully is always the call
of demagogue who is either hopelessly incompetent
visionary, else is a conspirator planning to make
himself the autocrat of tyranny oppressive
than that he strives to overthrow.
The Russian revolution is following the regular
course of other revolutions the that other
utions must follow whenever and wherever they are
attempted.
No nation live without government and there
are only two kinds of government autocratc govern
nent by the minority and free government by the
lory.

AS WE

In offering the suggestion that Roosevelt does not
need a two-and-a-half-cent monument, and that the coun-
try does not need a two-and- "a half cent piece, The Her
aid finds itself in distinguished company, for the New
York Times has this on the subject.
No doubt it is. with the intention of honoring the
memory of Theodore Roosevelt that Representative APP
pleby, a New Jersey Republican, has introduced in con-
gress a bill providing for the addition to our coinage of a
2k cent piece, bearing the colonels head and the dates
of his birth and death. The purpose is admirable-no-
body would or could deny that-but it's attainment in this
particular way would be to inflict upon the whole Amer
lean population an amount of bother, inconvenience and
loss quite out. of proportion to that OF honor paid to the
great Americans memory.
1t is. of course. a real defect in the decimal system
that the monetary unit it. provides is not as often divisible
by two as the needs of retail trade demand. but it is not
a serious defect in practice; and though it is true that
the buyer now often suffers loss from the lack of a means
to divide the nickel into two equal parts, he probably
would suffer just as often and to the same extent if it
were possible for the seller to add, a half cent to many
prices that now are "even."l
Colonel Roosevelt does not need a monument of this
particular sort, and tits fairly safe to say that he would
not commend it if he could be consulted. A coin worth
2h cents is perilously near the "2 cents that for so long
has been the commonest symbol of insignificance and
worth1cssness.

THE NATIONS BUSINESS.

The National Association of Credit Men in session in
New York has just made public a summary of the condi-
ton of business in the United States from facts collected
by its various agencies. No body is more competent to con-
duct such a survey or to interpret the facts ascertained.
The credit men Of the country are connected with business
in all its. lines; financial, industrial and commercial. 1t is
necessary for each of them to be thoroughly familiar with
the conditions which exist in his own territory, knowing
these. in details and also to have a wide knowledge of bus
mess at large, to be able to establish the connection be-
tween the local and the general situation.
The report just issued may be said to indicate that
the credit men are mildly optilmistica They see no lndica-
tons of a business boom. They report that there has
been an Improvement in the general, situation, but not
enough to be startling, and not enough to warrant any re-
Taxation in the. effort to restore conditions to a normal
basis. @
1t is not the business Of credit men to be over San
guine. Statesmen are apt to consider credit men confirm
ed pessmists because the credit man often feels it to be
his duty to turn down an order sent in by the salesman
when the latter was expecting to improve his financial
condition and also his reputation by means Of that partic-
ular order. The credit man must be at least a moderate
conservative, and it is in line with his traditional attitude
with his association to issue a warning against over-en-
at this particular time.
The association finds the basic conditions of business
to be sound. The banks of the country are solvent and
secure. American enterprises on the whole are sound.
Collections have been difficult and there is a tendency to
be cautious in extending credit. There is need for fur
Their progress in the direction of price adjustment and the
geneal harmonizing of business with the new situation
which must exist. Making every necessary allowance for
the natural conservatism Of the organization, the report
must be accepted as quite satisfactory under the circum-
stances" The country is progressing. not as RAPIDLY as
some expected it would. not as rapidly as most Of us wish
but it is making progress in the direction of sound business
and the progress made now has every appearance of be-
ing permanent.

Incidentally, shipments Of the same parasite were
sent from Cornell university, by : south African student.
to Prot. ca. Lounsbury. entomolosst Of the Union of
South Africa last autumn, and late reports indicate sue
cess in that country also.
These announcements are Of very considerable bio
logical interest as well as Of much economic importance.
The successful carriage. of living parasites into the south
ern countries is Of especial interest, on account OF the
Numerically opposed seasons (when 1t is summer here
1t Is winter there) and consequently the life history OF
tho insect in such carriage across the equator is subject
