fine. Yet there is decidedly a human
side of it, as witness the case of a
youth who has just been notified that
he will be released from Jail in order
that he may get married.
The boy, native of the slum dis
trict of Lambeth, was serving a term
at detentional prison. known as the
Rcrstal Institution at Portland, for
some minor infringement of the law.
According to the terms of His sem
tence he should not have been re-
leased until next spring. The only
thing to distinguish him from other
youths in similar positions was that
his sweetheart, knowing that she was
soon to become mother and being
keenly anxious that her child should
not bear the stamp of illegitimacy, had
the inspiration of writing to member
OF Parliament, pleading with him to
use his influence to permit her to be
married to the boy, even though he
were in prison.
The case was referred to the Home
Secretary, who declared that special
license from the Archbishop Of Cantcr.
bury would be necessary If the cere
mony were to be performed in the
prison chapel. But it so happened
that the little human incident drew the
interest of half a dozen members of
Parliament. Questions we're asked
about it on the floor of the House
and, Of course, it got into the news
papers, although the names of the boy
and girl were kept secret
There were signs that the affair
might develop into a cause celebre.
And it might have had not the Home
Secretary cut through red tape by
simply ordering the unconditional re-.
lease of the young prisoner.
So yesterdays half-columns have
given way to to"day's brief paragraphs.
And two children of the slums are hap.

licity, and the Home Secretary is again
Tree to devote his attention to some Of
the weightier cares Of his office.

Kalenine Is Real Head
OF Soviet Republic
President of Executive Council
Deviscs Job of High Judge
for Himself

PARIS, Nov. 20.-Every day brings
us new revelations of the strange
regime from which poor Russia is now
suffering, says Gle Figaro" The Presi-
dent of the Republic of the Soviets is,
if we are to believe the portrait drawn
Of him by the socialistic papers, one
of the most curious figures of the
revolutionary group.
Kalenine is in fact president of the
Executive Central Council, which is the
highest authority Of Russia. But he
leaves the power to Lenine. He has
devised for himself an original em-
ployment. He has appointed himself
the justice of peace of All the Russias.
He does not administer justice under
all oak, like st. Louis. nor under a
cherry tree, like King Pansole AIS
ways in motion, he travels over Russia
in his train, one Of those fred trains"
described to us by Frossard last year,
which are SO admirably fitted up for
propaganda, with their cinema car,
their printing car, their library car,
and the cars the outside Of which is
adorned with symbolical pictures and
flashing mottoes.>
Does there arise somewhere a diff
Guilty between the local Sovets? Does
an administrative matter necessitate
an urgent intervention? Does there in
some corner exist a stock of raw ma
terials which it's holder refuses to de-
liver to the factories that are in need
of it? Hopl There's Kalcnine on the
road! Accompanied by useful tech
nologists, connected by the wireless of
his train with the bureaus of the capi-
tai, the good judge will put to the
service of his country his irresistible
dialeetic and incredible popularity.
When he happens 10 stay in Moscow
he gives audience to all who ask for it,
Having ceased to be missus dominicus,

But his oak, less picturesque than that

amusing episodes which prove that
sometimes even the decorum Of the

There have been more than the usual
number Of such occurrences recently.
a week or SO ago the whole Labor dele

bundle of papers more than twenty
years old, among which was a postal
note for a considerable amount.
An old man, who had been in .he
service for more than quarter of d
century, was the only one who could
throw any light on the mystry. He re-
called how a fellow clerk had been
charged with stealing a postal order
and although nothing definite was
proved against him, he was dismissed
from the service.
The ministry investigated the mat
ter and eventually discovered that the
