TROUBLE FOR STREET CAR MEN.
Topeka Railway Company Has Sew
eraI Minor Accidents.

Confronted with the task of haul
ing unwonted thousands of heat
dodgers to and from the various
parks Sunday. the street car system
stood up well under the strain. When
trolley wire came in contact with a
high tension wire, three cars loaded
with passengers from Gage park were
held up for a few minutes. An auto
mobile backed into a state hospital
car at Sixth and Polk streets, Slightly
damaging it.
Between 10 o'clock and IL o'clock
Sunday night a long trailer from Gage
park tied up the system at Eighth
and Kansas avenues. The first car
and the front trucks of the trailer
went decorously south on Kansas
avenue. But the rear trucks of the
trailer were contrary minded, and
started down Eighth avenue, with the
result that the long trailer was pres
emily parked askew of the crossing,
blocking three lines of track, and the
front end of the trailer had knocked
the trolley pole at the corner out of
alignment.
Between 200 and 500 people stood
on the curbs and watched the street
car men straighten out the tangle
and get traffic moving again.

From traveller in China comes the
assertion that the cFlowery Kingdom"
is abundantly able to feed its ownstarv-
ing people. But rich and sleek Chinese
merchants, calloused to the sufferings
of their countrymen, do nothing to re-
iieve the famine. Why should they
do anything, they argue, so long as
America continues to send money? 1t
has been pointed out time and again
in The State Journal that China was
abundantly able to feed her own pop
trlation. Proof of this appeared in the
fact that food for the hungry was
bought in China with American
money. mo food was shipped from
america to that country. On the con-
trary the Chinese have been shipping
various articles of food over here. All
most simultaneously with the publ
cation of the facts regarding the food
situation in China comes the au-
rouncement by the relief committee
that it has enough. But this is after
the American people have given more
than 100000 to the cause. e

The railroads and the government
appear to have leagued together to
compel the American public to stay at
home or travel by automobile. To a
passenger rate already high. is added
a war tax of 8 per cent and a tax Of
Sc per cent on Pullman fares. which
goes to the railroads. The result is
that the highways are thronged with
tourists going to the national play
grounds and other summer resorts IN
motor cars. Many who would like to
go somewhere and do not own ca-s
probably will refuse to be held up for
the exorbitant transportation charges.

RUssIA,s CALL FOR CASE.

Russia has begun to reach out for
foreign capital. Krassin. minister of
trade and commerce. announces that
lenders of money need have no fear of
bad faith on the part of the Bolshevist
government, because Russia requires
not only machines but men to run
them; the country wants primarily ad-
miniStrative experts who can revive
the almost defunct industries and de-
velop the great natural resources
which are lying dormant. The point
Is that whatever capital is invested
in Russia must be administered by q
representative of the investor, and
while this situation exists the soviets
have little chance of defauiting on
their promises.
Russia has always needed adminIs-
gime of the czars Russian industry
never got above a shambling gait and
scarcely a beginning was made in the
exploitation of the natural wealth.
Since the revolution conditions, al
ready bad, have grown steadily worse.
No government can be just, no gov
eminent can be prosperous, no gov
eminent can be permanent, unless it
recognizes and protects the rights of
life, liberty and property. A nation
which fails in this regard forfeits the
respect of it's own people and of the
peoples of other nations. 1t can sur
vive at home only so long as it main
n hxy nh fnrca-
can have no successful or satisfactory
dealings abroad because no other ma
ton will respect any promise it may
make.
So it, may be doubted that the
leopard will change his spots. Every
one knows the mental and moral
makeup of the men who are at the
head of the Bolshevist movement. They
may make pretenses of repentance,
they make set forth a semblance of
change of policy, they may try to de-
ceive other nations into the notion
that they intend to respect the rights
of life, liberty and property, but those
who understand the inherent charac-
ter of extreme radicals such as Lenin
and Trotzky and their followers know
that no such transformation has taken
place.
There will be a stable government
an honest government, a permanent
government in Russia, only when
there is a change of governors. There
will be truly representative govern
ment only when the people of Russia
are permitted to exercise, with full
freedom of thought and word and ac-
ton. their sovereign rights as citizens
in the choice of men who shall rep
| resent them in the legislative and ex-
ecutive branches of the government
| under the protection of courts which
owe no obligations except to consti-
tutional form of representative gov
! eminent. Until such changes have
taken place probably capital will be
slow to heed the come-on call of the
soviet leaders.
