The Soviet and the Explosion.

With the receipt in this country of
the official report of the Department
of Justice operatives who effected the
arrest ut Warsaw of Lindenfeld for
complicity in the Wall street bomb
outrage of September 16. 1920. come
disclosures that point definitely to this
man as the direct accredited agent in
the United States not only OF the
third internationale at Moscow, but OF
Leon Trotsky, Russian minister OF
war, and, it is believed. chief propa-
candiSt for soviet government. 1t IS
not especially important whether Lin
denfeld or another was at the time Of
the explosion or later the agent of
Trotsky and of the third internation-
ale in this country. The point of chief
interest is that such an agent was
rere. A man named Lingdren. who is
now under indictment in New York
awaiting trial on charge of criminal
anarchy-despite which fact he recent
lv ran for mayor of New York-de-
cIares that Lindenfeld, or Linde as he
was known here, was not such an
agent. But he admits that there was
an agent. in New York organizing
sroups representative of the Moscow
radicals.
Association of the soviet govern
ment of Russia with the murderous
radicalism of American extremist
groups cannot be too plainly demon
strated to the people of this country.
TIL. horrible crime of September 10.
1920, is to be ascribed to the Russian
soviet plotters seeking to throw the
United States into a state of terror,
leading to class revolution. The policy
at Moscow is to destroy not only there
but in other lands, to sweep away the
foundations Of government as they
exist. This country has been an lnVlt-
ing field. Many thousands of Russian
radicals have lived here for years.
Numbers have kept up direct com
munications with the soviet. Trotsky
himself left here to take part in the
revolution of 1917. 1t is probably Trot-
sky's dream today to turn this country
into a shambles of sovietism even as
he has helped turn Russia into a
sickening field of slaughter and starVa-
ton. But the bomb explosion blew
away the clouds under which these
schemers were working. and now re-
mains merely the task of finding the
immediate agents and furnishing them
if the law can reach them.

The Tenth Virginia District.

The vacancy in the tenth Virginia
Congress district occasioned by
the death of Mr.. Flood is stirring
the ambition of a number of men
there. The democratic nomination is
equivalent to election.
Mr.. Flood was an able man. and
served his constituents with distinc-
ton. The district owes it to his mem.
ory to choose a man of his quality as
his successor.
1t is a good sign when seat in
Congress is sought by those who by
character and ability are associable
with it. The rewards of private life
are so many and so enticing these
days, those of public life are often
passed up
But seat in Congress at this time
makes a particularly strong appeal.
A new order Is in the shaping. New
questions are presented to legislators.
and must be dealt with. Our affairs
are being adjusted to conditions Great
ed by the war. There is urge in every
thing.
The Old Dominion has always
shown a strong leaning to politics.
She has always gone in for the game
vigorously. She has always had in
commission at home and elsewhere
men competent for public business.
Some of the brightest names in con-
gressional history are names Of Vir-
ginians.
L Ohio has forged to the front, and
become the later mother of Presidents.
But since the civil war. and because
of that struggle. Virginia has not been
in the presidential running. In con-
tests for, other places she has held her
own in the character and equipment
of her public servants.

to be for the two sections Of the Union
which clashed in arms in 1851 and re-
manned locked in combat for four
years.
That struggle was extremely bitter
and destructive while it lasted. But it
was family row. The contending
sections had never before been
enemies. They had much in common,
and each had many reasons for put
ting high valuation on the other.
Each had put such a valuation on the
other.
So that when the war ended, with
the institution that had caused it
African slavery--abolished, there was
good and easy ground for reunion and
the revival of old ties of appreciation.
The two sections naturally came to.
gether.
But there were men of eminence,
north and south, who for awhile
thought a> workable and sincere re-
vival of good feeling impossible. and
feared that the two sections would be
at daggers drawn again in no time.

The Majority and the Quorum.

The Joke is on the republicans of the
House. They control that body by an
overwhelming majority, and ought &c
be at all times masters of the situa'
ton. But they were caught mapping
Yesterday, outmaneuvered by the
minority, and forced to capitulate on
a measure which was under discussion
by the decree of the rules committee.
On a demand to furnish a quorum
for the anti-lynching bill they were
unable to do it. Industrious balllHs
were dispatched on hunts for alb
sentees, but they failed to produce
sufficient number, and the blockade
continued. And so the bill to which
the minority was objecting was forced
over until after the holiday recess.
This experience coming early in the
session will have it's value If it teaches
the majority a lesson. Beginning in
January, politics will be played to the
limit to the end of the session. The
republicans being responsible for busl-
ness on Capitol Hill should hold them
selves prepared to do business every
day and all day. A quorum should be
present or within easy reach whenever
a measure of moment is in hand.
One of the influences of a top-heavy
majority is the encouragement it gives
to absenteeism. Members do not feel
the importance of prompt and regular
attendance on sessions. This man,
that man, and the other man yield too
readily to inducements to put private
affairs above public affairs in per,
suasiye feeling that they can easily
be spared. And SO a quorum disap'
nears and. the minority takes charge.
This is neither good politics nor good
management.

More About the Allied Debts.

America is willing to discuss the
question of the eleven milliards which
Europe owes her, but not with the
idea of abandoning them. She may be
willing to grant all the possible facili-
ties with regard to payment, but she
insists that they must be paid. Any
one who believes that becau the
contemplated reduction in the naval
armament of the United States would
permit the United States to save
money on her yearly expenses. and
that for this reason she would be
willing to overlook part of Europe's
debts. is greatly mistaken. Not only
has the idea never been expressed by
the Harding administration. but
neither has it ever been thought of.
Considering the conference as far
as it has progressed we are led to
believe that the really important Eu-
ropean problems will be left for dis
cUssion at the very end or that they
will not be discussed at all. The pro-
phetic question of Clemenceau inter-

II may be harder, indeed, than usual.
, The situation is like this: Republican
sfactionism in Congress is not out OF

both House and Senate are tart bicker-

two subjects. Nearly every subject
with which Congress is expected to
deal at the present session shows
widely different opinions about what
should be done.
This calls for the services of a
referee; and if the warning factions
have their way the President will be
saddled with the burdens and en-
barrassments of that role.

Inadequate Building Funds.

Supt. Ballous analysis of the esti-
mates for school building development
as they reached Congress works out
to a showing of only $685., 900 for the
actual extension of the construction
plans. This is disappointment below
the figure of general expectation and
below the figure of urgent actual need.
The total of the school board estimates
for schoolhouse construction and the
purchase Of additional land was So
406.500. This was reduced in the esti-
mates by $1.250.50O, to a total of
$2.156,00O. OF this final sum the
greater part must be devoted TO COM

600 fell under the head of continuing
work, and from this reduction of
$4,000 was made. The main reduc-
tons in the estimates, however. lay in
new construction in addition to those
already authorized.

virtually to its old basis of inadequate
yearly enlargements. with a new ac-
cumulation of arrears.
The present problem of school ac-
commodation has resulted from just
such a policy of inadequate new-huild-
ing provisions in the past. If four
more buildings We're needed, two per-
haps granted. maybe only one. and
from season to season the congestion
continued-school building We're more
closely crowded. classroomS We're con-
gested. the number of pupils to teacher
increased and finally halliday and
platoon-system devices Were made nee
essary to give the children any de-
gree of instruction.
Only by settling definitely upon a
series of regular annual liberal appro-
priations for new schools, while con-
tinuing all formerly authorized works,
can the Districts school equipment
be brought up to need. Even with five
years Of successive appropriations on
this basis the arrears cannot be fully
absorbed. Nobody can sforeteI accu-
rately the growth of the capital city.
Actuarial computations may give a
basis of estimation, but sat best these
prognoses are. only hazards, which
usually are below rather than above
the mark of results. One of the chief
faults of the treatment of the schools
in the past has been the failure to pro-
vide for probable population growth.
Sny in the light of. the, past it is pro-
posed to build systematically, and the
estimates as they reach Congress most
distinctly do not carry out this plan.
