RUSSIAN STUDENT
IN TEXAS COLLEGE

Dallas. Texas. Feb l5.-Dimitri
Shvetzoff, 10 year old boy, form
er member Of the Russian nobility
who fought under General Wrangel,
arrived in Dallas early in January
and is now a student at Southern
Methodist University.
From the turmoil of a hazardous
existence in Bolshevik Russia, with
life depending on the whims Of
Red rulers and hunger and disease
ready to strike down those escaping
the firing squad 70 the more or less
quiet life of a student in the Uni
versity, where the toughest past
time is basket ball, is the remark
able change to which young Shvet-
zoff has had TO adjust himself.
Rescued from the firing squad, this
young Russian Is now facing the
horrors Of freshman English and
long hours in the physics labora-
tory.
A group Of Methodists travelling
through Europe last summer ran
across Shvetzoff in Brussels and
are responsible for mis- entering the
University. Rev. A. J. Weeks and
W. J. Johnson, both Of Dallas, and
r. +. Goodrich Of Waco are making
it possible for the boy TO attend
school here.
The lad speaks five languages
and at one time attended Rugby
in England. The family are refu-
gees in Serbia, the estate having
fallen into the hands Of the Reds.
Tales Of days in prison, exper-
fences Of hunger, escape from exc
cution and similar matters are pass
ed from room to room in the dormi-
tory where Shvetzoff stays.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
of Thursday of last week consumed
more than two columns Of editorial
space under the heading "The Com
mercial Appeal not a candidate for
the Senate" and in that space "went
after" Senator Mcclellan in the regu-
lar "Moneyesque" style. In that space
and on that occasion the Commercial
Appeas seems to have discovered
that 7. w. Sims is in the race for
the Senate-and the editor perhaps
remembered that he had promised
space, as news, to Mr.. Sims and then
broke that promise as deliberately as
did the fellow who said in regard to
a land trade Oh honor when
there is money at stake" Since that
promise was made to Mr.. Sims and
broken without scruple, that candi-
date has visited many West Tennes-
see towns where he was called upon
by the accredited correspondents Of
the Commercial Appeal and asked
for statements which were made
and not a wrod from any of these cor
respondents ever appeared in the
Commercial Appeal. The Commercial
Appeal seems to have very foolishly
feared that any sort of word publish
ed about Mr.. Sims being in the race
might injure it's pet candidate, Capt.
Fitzhugh. 1t is pitiful to see a news
paper claim to advocate civic right
eousness, write spread-eagle editor
ials on Sunday-and yet show to the
world by its actions that it has not
the faintest conception of fairness.
Mcclellan may have made fool breaks
which have rebounded to the advan-
tage of Capt. Fitzhugh, but we do not
believe the policy of the Commercial
Appeal has made the Captain a sim
gle vote in fact the C. A. policy will
tend to help Mcclellan, who, to-day,
has Capt. Fitzhugh badly beaten
and we say this in face of the fact
that we were supporting Fitzhugh
when Mr.. Sims Unexpectedly appear
ed in the primary race. The Memphis
paper is the greatest news gathering
agency in the South and when it ac-
quires some conception Of the differ
ence between sincerity and falsity it
will have more moral and political in
fluence in the territory in which it
circulates.

TAFT STRIKES HOME.

Chief Justice Taft told British au-
dience at London on June 9th that
Americans, especially in the West,
would pay no attention to European
politics unless the price Of wheat was
affected. He is quoted as having said:
ITO the man in Cincinnati, Chica-
go, st. Louis, or in the West, Europe
seems very far away. What is hap
pening no this side of the ocean does
not interest him very much unless the
price of wheat or other commodities
is affected"
Mr.. Taft used some pretty plain
language there. He understands the
American people and has had his fin
ger on the pulse of the nation for a
long, ling time.
1t is not nice to be held up to the
people of Europe as race of merce-
naries, yet Mr.. Taft's observation will
help to confirm that opinion which
too many in Europe already have.
But whether we like it or not, there
is a deal of truth in it. The average
man kicks and squirms at so-called
reforms and taxation, but if he 'gets
his" he kicks only with his tongue, If
he is hit in the pocketbook, he follows
up the kick with something more sub
stantial in the way of voting for the
opposition.
There is nothing like a period Of
hard times to cause a political up
heaval in this country.
Our entire agricultural population
has very direct interest in Europe.
1t is our market place. 1t takes much
of our wheat, corn, beef and cotton.
We have been losing our hold on this
market very rapidly because of pau
city of constructive statesman at
Washington The people of our West
will have to choose between a sur
render of European markets and an
interest in European affairs.-Ten-
nessean.

SPEAKs OUT FOR PATTERSON.
McNairy County Paper Strong For
Hardin County Man.
EDITORIAL OF JUNE 18TH.
FOR CONGRESS.

FOR CONGRESS.
In this issue will be found the an
nouncement of A. M. Patterson as a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton for Congress. We commend the
reading of said announcement to all
democrats as the announcement is
characteristic of the man; plain, can
did, clean, honorable and dependable.
Mr.. Patterson lives at Savannah. His
father, Judge E. d. Patterson, al
though reared in the North, enlisted
in the Confederate army and made a
gallant soldier in defense Of his
adopted Southland. After the war he
became a successful lawyer and for
several years was Judge of the Cir
cult court. The subject of this sketch,
A. M. Patterson, is himself a promi-
nent lawyer and an extensive farmer
and business man. He has always
been an enthusiastic Democrat and
should he become our Congressman,
no one will have nay cause to fear his
ability or integrity or patriotism will
not be equal to the exacting demands
Of the position.-McNairy County In

The town or county which is torn
asunder by the bitterness, the ha-
treds, the jealousies and general dew
ilment of factions which seem to live
and enjoy life in the bad luck that
can be brought to the opposition, de-
serves both the pity and condemna-
tion Of the rest Of the world. It is
strange how men who claim to be
good citizens and even Christians can
forget all that should be held sacred
in these factional differences. IL
men would accord to others the rights
that they claim for themselves. would
put in half the time attending to their
own business and the other half in
looking exclusively after their own
affairs, this world would be better
place and all men would believe more
in the professions of others.
