East Aurora, N. ". Sept. 2S.--What
II East Aurora doing since Elbert
Hubbard and his wife went down on
the Lusitania? People come here won-
dering II they will And slackness or
decay In the home OF the Roycrofters.
Instead. there Is trim neatnsss about
the plant. the same busy craftsmen at
work in the shops. the same unusual
atmosphere OF tranquility which some-
how has always pcrvaded the place.
The Roycroft plant. you doubtless
rcmemfcr. is the project started by
Elbert Hubbard IS years ago. Hub
hard had lived in the village of East
Aurora for 80 years without giving
any signs OF one day making it fam
Gus. lie was in the soap business then,
and had he kept on mixing soap would
in time have been a millionaire, as
his partner. Larkin, became.
But the life of soap merchant pal
led on the artisucally inclined Hub
hard. At 3s he took the first step tow
ard reclsiming his individuality. He
sold out and went 10 Harvard.
Then he started n little printing
shop in East Aurora. and with his
philosophy. his writings and his per-
sonality. he gathered about him the
Roycroft community and gradually
built what is now the Roycroft plant
with ESQ workers.
East Aurora was on the map in a
quiet way as a New York village be-
fore Hubbard's personality began to
,iower. Hubbard made it popular. and
gradually East Aurora became synon-
ymous with Roycroft and Ebert Hub
bard. You cannot write or talk about
one without implying the others. The
homes OF the village are mainly the
crrtsmcn's homes. The whole COM
munlty seems to center on the shady
street where the low ivy-covered shops
of the Hubbard plant stand.
Hubbard took il for granted that
"a world would recognize that he and
his Roycrofters made East Aurora
what Il has become. When East An-
rnra got new railroad station, Hub
ard wrote 10 the railroad company
and asked permission TO make the
station sign and put the cabalistic
Noycroft trademark on II beside the
name East Aurora. The railroad COM
rany was cstounded at the suggestion.
NtNtl ma any aONtfUSllE nteN
allowed on a station sign. and hey
promptly informed Mr.. Hubbard of
the high and long-standing traditions
of the road. But Hubbard was not
Nanquished. lie perx .sted in his argu-
mpnts until he convinced the officials
that the booming business in rail-
road tickets between East Aurora and
POINTS In all directions was due to the
ttoycrofters and that they were East
Aurora. To-day the East Aurora sta
tiOn is probably the only one in The
country that has a sign decorated with
a trademark.
The story Of the new railroad station
I, another Hubbard story. The. town
had a disreputable-lookin shack in
which 90 buy it's tickets and pass the
time Of day. But four years ago Hub
bard turned his attention 10 the depot.
Every month his magazine carried an
intense editorial about the awful
depot situation In East Aurora. One
month he printed a picture of the
ramshackle station and beside IL his
new paiatlal concrete hog pen. That
wac too much FOR the railroad. II
surrendered and even sent the plans
for the new station to Hubbard for
hts approval.

One hundred thousand miles has become or

have gone 100000 and 100000 miles, still doing

But though Hubbard regarded all

when he started his craft shop he in

W orks by Hand.

Men and women were set to work
making things by hand, spending as
much time as necessary on their book
binding. saving. or modelling with no
strict factory rules TO drive them on.
Hubbard further sought 10 insure
contentment and industry by making
his factory cooperative. IL a work
man had a share in the profits he figur-
"a that there was nothing TO fear from
capitai-labor difficulties.
The shops he built Of stones. which
the farmers were glad 10 sell for q
dollar a load. They are low. well de-
signed buildings. set in green lawns
and partly covered with vines. Hub
bard set out 10 make his shops at
tfactlve as another means OF con-
tenting his workers. especially the
boys and girls Of East Aurora. He dis
liked 20 see the young people growing
up restless at home on the little farms.
Yet he dlsliked still more to hear
that this one or that had left for the
city. So. from the time OF the first
little shop with It's eight workers.
Hubbard encouraged and made pos
able artistic surroundings.

The failures Of these revolts do not
mean that the anti-bolshevik sentiment
In Russia 10 slight. The soviet has
control OF the munitions Of war and
has a well equipped army. It has all
the advantage Of position. Thus far
it has been favored by the fact that
these revolutionary movements have
occurred separately. If all five Of
these instructions had taken place
simultaneously the soviet would prob
ably have been overthrown. There Is
one final consideration. Most OF the
anti-soviet movements have been at
tributed to the czarists, seeking the
restoration of the old regime. What
ever their sufferings from the soviet
rule. the. people Of Russia can have no
sympathy with military enterprise
which seeks or is suspected Of seeking
the re-establishment of their old i'm
perial bureaucracy. Until the people
acquire the capacity Of revolt on their
own account they will probably con-
tinQe to endure the sufferings Of to-
day rather than risk the utilixation of
their insurgency by agents Of czarism.
The soviet commissars at Moscow
craftily play upon these suspicious
and have so far had little trouble in
holding the mass Of the people away
from the insurgent commanders. Had
there been support on the part Of the
peasantry and the townspeople Dene-
kin. or Kolchak, ,or semenoff, or
Wrangel would have had Q good
chance.of success.

about to help the economic situation.
The Irish press abused him from the
very start, because of his unmerciful
attitude toward the common people,
his determination to put down dis
orders by any means at hand and his
utter cOntemptuousness for the Irish
parliament. He was sympathetic with
the Irish people, but looked upon
them as an unruly nursery in revolt,
whose spirit had to be broken. De-
spite the hatred Of Erin. when he re-
signed his post as secretary to be-
come leader of the house and first
lord Of the treasury, his position was
one Of unassailable superiority, and
withal great good had been accom-
plished.
Balfour is an eloquent, scholarly
speaker. His addresses. however. have
more the characteristic Of giving a
survey Of a subject than pointing out
any distinct line Of action. Once after
a brilliant pronouncement Of his at the
Paris conference CIemenceau said:
''That is wonderful, Mr.. Balfour. Now
Just which side Of the question do you
suggest we adopt?"
Although Britain's former prime min
lister Is supposed to have no great in
terest in the welfare Of the common
people he at least is keenly and zeal
ously interested in the welfare of his
and other nations, and he enters this
conference with heart and mind set
for but one purpose-to aid the world
in throwing or a part OF the load OF
militarism from its shoulders.

A Session and IT. Application.

Shall we see the controlling power
on Capitol Hill apply at the regular
session the perfectly obvious lesson
Of the special session?
When Congress assembled in April
everything seemed set for early ac-
ton on the more pressing questions
Of the day. The Speaker of the House
and the floor leader Of the majority
had virtually been selected. as had
also the majority leader in the Senate.
Committee assignments could speedily
he made. Organization work, there
fore, would require no time at all.
What was to prevent dispatching all
the business in q few months?
Everything looked so easy. every
thing began to drift. There's plenty
OF time" was the answer returned to
every inquiry as to the Jack Of speed.
So here is the sessions end, with an
uncompleted card and much criticism
current as to delays and frictions and
divisions.
Will the regular session buckle to
business, and from the first day drive
full speed ahead? or wpl it go upon
the proposition that there's plenty Of
time" and thus permit things to drift?
There is no time to spare. The
routine alone will draw heavily against
the time there is, and midsummer
should see the shutters up and the
legislators scattered to their homes.
and those aspiring to further service
busy with their campaigns. A regular
session "hard at IT. from the very
start, and keeping at 1t until the close
no drifting, no recesses-would be
the greatest blessing Congress could
bestow upon the country. and the
most valu1ble asset the party IN
power could show in the fall contests.

Mulligrubs and the Remedy.

Softly! Why so bot? Why 50 i'm
patient? Why spch frequent and
fluent despairfny|of civilization?
Congress met in April. and tackled
a large and difficult job. There was no
reason for expecting immediate relief
from the woes affecting the country.
They had grown out Of war un-
'precedented for size and suffering.
And yet because relief has not been
Immediately forthcoming a raucous
complaint goes up that the country is
headed for smash. What can save US?
If anything can, how long shall we
have to wait for it?
The armament conference has been
in session only a fortnight. 1t got an
excellent and assuring start with a
program Of great delicacy and diff
Guilty. The whole world applauded.
There was no reason for expecting an
immediate solution Of the different
problems awaiting attention. And yet
murmurings about delay and failure
are rising. At home here, and in some
quarters abroad. an effort is being
made to discredit the conference and
hand the world over to the bow-wows.
America will come back. and Con-
gress will help to bring it back The
world will come back, and the arma-
ment conference win help to bring it
back. Those in despair, or who think
they are, should brace up and have
some style about them. Civilization Is
not at the mercy Of even such COM
motion as the world is now experience
ing, but is deeply socketed in the
hearts Of those who are standing to
gether in its behalf and able and
eager to save it. The man with multi
erubs should send for a doctor.

A Holiday Recess.

A recess for the conference, to be
taken in time to enable members 1tv-
ing at a distance from Washington to
go home for the holidays. is suggested.
Christmas makes q strong appeal,
even to those engaged with the most
important public business. It is OBJ
servable in the case of Congress-. The
Of the session-even the short session,
which is limited to three months, and
when time is precious
Efforts have been made to change
his. or to reduce the recess to a few
days. Some Of the veteran legislators
have at one time or another tried to
impress upon their associates the i'm.
portance Of remaining on the job once

strong views on the subject, and
voiced them several times while

prscedes the holiday season, and when
It ssizes a person. even q legislator

less In its grasp. 81
Presumably, the legislators Will
Sisid again this year. though the ars:u-
msnt against q recess was newer
stronger. There will be some hang
overs from the special session, and
business galore besides. An early ad-
iournment-at the beginning Of sum-
mer If possible-is desired. in order
that members seeking reelection may
open their campaigns early. But the
chances are that when the time comes
the usual recess will be taken and the
usual fortnight subtractsd from the
working time Of the session. Santa
