A Russian Magazine.

The nearest approach to the old
type of Russian magazine is The
Red Virgin Soil, a literary. artistic,
scientific and publicist iou-nal," ap-
pearing, it says on the cover, once
every two months-but in reality a
movable feast. The title page bears
the sacramento phrase: "Proleta-
rians of all lands, unitei" and the
imprint of the State publishing house
1t is issued by the Chief Council for
Political Education. 1t is here that
one finds in its broader aspects the
outlook of official Russis. The con-
tributors to the politica-economic
section include Lenine Bukharin,
Radek, Pokrovsky. Yet it must be
remembered that the magazine is a

designed especially for the business
man in his off hours.
1t is the chief merit of Mr.. Knowl-

adequacy of cursory snatches of the
science and repeatedly urges his
readers to go further into the subject
by use of a well chosen photography.

The Return to Realism.

The emotion that Inspired this
work of >Mayakovsky's and similar
productions could not endure through
the black years Of civil war and fam
inc and through the Geld b,eak la
bors which reconstruction IN Russia
entails. If we turn to cGr,ent~imagi-
native writing, we find fer the most
part the painful and the pathetic
predominating. Here there is a re-
turn to the national literary tradition
Of fearless realism. This writing
assumes the shape of fragmentary
records and simple sketches of human
figures and situations. Naturally,
such brief and scattered pieces are
not likely to appear in any permanent
form. Until recently the newspaper
was their only place. or late months,
however, several new magazines
have sprung up, whose pages offer
hospitality to the small host of fic-
ton writer's.
The revival of the magazines is
one of the characteristic and hopeful
features of present day literary life
in Russia. Before the revolution the
serious author, be he poet or econo-
mist, had at hand a ready medium
of publication in the several solid and
substantial monthlies known as the
fat journals" With the political
upheaval and the economic collapse
these succumbed, one after The other.
Indeed. even the technical and scien-
tific journals went under. In sub
sequent years several Of them tried
to lift up their heads in exile, with
the result that at present two large
Russian magazines are published,
one in Paris, the other in Prague. 1t
was only last year that Russia proper
saw the appearance of a number of
general periodicals and some special
reviews.

The second act opens with the
Unclean Ones feasting ~. The hold

Clean are sad and hungry. They are
the clever ones, however, and SO they
elect the Negus as Car and force
the others to serve HIN. Tie Gar,
like a true autocrat, devours the
state revenue without any help, so
the monarchists make a political
revolution and set up a democratic
republic. This. however. fails to i'm
prove matters for the workers. who
declare:
First il was one leech that sucked US
now it's a platoon we feed.
The Republic is Car whose hundred
mouths all make us bleed.
And so they make social revolu-
ton and cast all the Clean over
board. Alone on the ark, they find
themselves cold, hungry and
wretched, but like deus er mdchina
the Spirit of the Revolution comes
to encourage them. They set out

as necessary more fully to cash in on

There is always a danger in such
demand. For popularizers arise
who are more adroit than scientific,
more capable in putting pseudo
principles into alluringly simple
terms than in translating the some
what limited supply of available
knowledge into non-technictal Lam
guage. They are more likely than
the scholar also to assume as ascer-
tanned what is not surely known; the
ignorant always have greater faith
in knowledge than those who really
know. One cannot observe an
nouncements promising complete
culture to any one who will spend
fifteen minutes a day reading a GER
tain shelf of books without thinking
of the bitter disillusionment in store
for the gullible.
Mr.. Hazlitt, on the contrary, makes
no rash promises, offers no short cuts
TO psychic success. The way to will
power is long and hard, and he at no
time DISCUSSES the fact. He devotes
a chapter to careful emphasis on'the
necessity for paying tie price" The
book is written in a simple, every
day. almost chatty style. 1t is doubt
full whether any one could put into
l59 pages any more sound, sugges-
tive Introductory discussion of the
problems OF practical psychology
than Mr.. Hazlitt has done. A para
graph on courage is worth quoting:
What can it profit man to be
able to think if he does not dare
to? One must have the courage
TO go where the mind leads, no
matter how startling the conclu-
sion, how shattering, how much il
may hurt oneself or particular
classsno matter how questionable .
or how obnoxious it may at first
seem. This may require the
courage TO stand against the whole
world. Great is the man who has
that courage, for he indeed has
achieved will power.
Mr.. Hazlitt takes issue with the
Freudians, considering that their en-
phasis upon the dangers of repres-
sion of the sex impulse is far out of
proportion to the needs of the case.
Indeed, he contends that THIS type of
desire is largely acquired and can be
controlled. in the average person, as
far as total abstinence without any
special harm. After all, civilization
is to great extent built upon habit

a large place to fiction. Here one
finds new names attached TO naxra-

These tales do not show any traces
of idealization of the new forms of
life or Of official optimism. Another
large periodical publication issued in
Moscow is The Press aud the Rero-
luton. This magazine is devoted to
problems of book production and
consists mainly of reviews of the
current literature in Russia and
partly abroad, written from the
Communist angle.
The first issue opens with a paper
by Lunacharsky, the Coramissar of
Education, who is one OF It's editors.
While the Government recognizes in
principle the freedom of literary ex-
preston, he argues, it is nevertheless
resolved to check by means cf rig
orous censorship those manifesto
tions of art which are inimical to
the aims and purposes of the re-
gime. The same issue contains a
documented account of The activities
of the State Publishing House, which
has been the chief publishing agency
in Russia. Some of the figures cited
are very Illuminating. II 1920 Rus
sia consumed 100000 pounds of
paper, that is, only some s per cent.
of the amount consumed in 1914. In
1921 the situation was even worse,

which they have known upon earth.
The heaven which Mayakovsky
paints and which his heroes refuse
is much the same as Conan Doyle's
heaven. Not having Conan Doyle to
call to account they destroy the
paradise itself. They shout:
Away with it,
This institution is not for the likes of
US.
Finally the argonauts reach the
promised land. One of them climbs
up ladder and spies it out. At
first he is struck dumb, and when
he finds voice he bursts forth:

Bright as a ray of sun and clear as a

But even then il 1 tried to say what

The wonders of the land are great:

But here. on the roots of parsley

The Last Act.

The first scene of that act takes
place in hell. The devils show their
hospitality by inviting the Unclean
to enjoy fire and birthstone. But
these are all undaunted, and hold
forth to the effect that all, the tricks
of hell are nothing compared to what
one finds on earth:
You. like an uncultured Turk,
Stick a sinner upon pike.
But on Earth it's a different affair:
There is culture-there are machines.
The devils are all ears. But after
the Unclean have told them a bit
about the details of a life where
machines use men instead of men
using tools. the devils cry: Enough,
You make our wool stand on end"
The Destruction of Paradise.
The party passes through hell
safely and reaches paradise in the
next scene. This is a milk and

drink tea without sugar, and bored
angels occupy themselves by en-

clouds. The Unclean strongly dis
approve of this paradise. They find

young writers, but one is likely to
see the old familiar faces among the
contributors to such new periodicals
as The House of the Arts, the Notes

bulletin of the House of Men of Let

FOREST PROTECTION
WEEK IS ENDORSED
BY GOV. Campbell

In hearty endorsement OF the plan
for a nation wide observance of the
week Of April is TO % as Forest
Protection Week" Governor Thomas
E. Campbell has issued the following
public statement of approval of the
plan, which, in most of the states OF
the Union win include the celebration
OF the last day of that week as the
golden anniversary of the inaugura-
ton of Arbor Day in the United
States.
AS owners in part of one of the
greatest forests OF pine in the world,
the people of Arizona will doubtless
be particularly interested in the OBJ
servGnce OF the week of April 1922
as Forest Protection Week. in ac-
cordance with the proclamation is
sued by President Harding.
This great heritage of nature,
which Is destined to play an even
more important part in the future
economic development n Arizona as
commonwealth than 1t has in the
past, should by all means be pro-
tected against unnecessary waste
through preventable fires; against
the deplorable effects of forest de-
vastation: and against the depletion
of thir most essential natural re-
source.
1T is a matter of such vital i'm
portance TO the future welfare of our
state that feel it but a mere matter
OF duty to request the cooperation
of officers of public instruction
throughout the state. and civic and
commercial organizations, in uniting
during Forest Protection Week upon
programs of educational and in
structive exercises such as win tend
to bring before our citizens, and the
boys and girls, our future citizens,
thought of the loss suffered by the
commonwealth through the dssas-
trous effects of forest fires and the
denuding Of our timbered slopes. and
the need for individual and collective
effort to prevent waste and destruc-
tion OF our forests and to conserve
and increase our tree growth. both
for ornament and use.
II. therefore. heartily endorse the
plan for nationwide observance of
the week of April 1922 as Forest

COAL HEARING To
Be HELD IN JUNE

That complete data and the neces-
sary exhibits pertaining to the
freight rates for the transportation
Of coal to points in Arizona may be
properly presented to an examiner
for the interstate commerce commits
sion at a public hearing to be held
In Phoenix on June 5 at the Hotel
Adams. Amos A. Belts of the cor
poration commission has written TO
all the coal dealers in the state and
to the mining companies who use
coal, asking them to furnish the COM
mission with all the data they have
on the subject.
The hearing in Phoenix. Mr.. Belts
said. is one OF a series of such hear
ings to be held by the interstate
commerce commission at several
western points in a general investi-
CATION of the coal rates applying TO
the Rocky Mountain states. These
hearings will begin in Denver on
May 10 and end in Ell Paso on June
z. The investigation of coal rates
in the Rocky Mountain territory was
instituted on March IA. 1922. by the
commerce commission for the pur-
pose of ascertaining and prescribing
reasonable rates to be applied by
carriers to the transportation OF coal
throughout practically all of the
Rocky Mountain territory.
The hearings Of the commission
will be held before an examiner act
ing for the members OF the commits
sion. Because of its familiarity with
rate cases and the proper manner OF
presenting all necessary data and ex-
hibits at such hearings. the Arizona
corporation commission has con
sented to compile the data and pre-
sent it to the examiner at the hear
ing in Phoenix. This hearing will
be public.
