RUSSIAN COMMUNISM

Guglielmo Ferrero, The Italian histor-
Jan SO much admired BY the late Theo-
dore Roosevelt, writes in the Italian
lei Secolo' on the reasons why COM
munisn failed IN Russia. History, he
says, is full Of communistic Institutions,
and communism in itself cannot be said
TO Be contrary to human nature. He
refers to the family itself as 4 commun-
Iistic institution, and to many religious
congregations which have done great
things for the race.
"On the contrary communism IS
in harmony with human nature, but on
|ly SO far as human nature is capable
lof sacrifice and unselfishness. That Is
the key to the whole idea. Commun-
ism is possible only where individuals
ARE willing to give up for some ideal
reason d part Of their material wealth
property and liberty which they
could themselves enjoy; or where some
great passion paternal love or reli-
gious fervor. for instance excludes
Iselfishness. Understood in this way.
communism is one of the most beauti-
full flowers of history and one Of the
most rare, because it grows only in a
few places.
Thus it is easy to understand that
communism as it exists in Russia is no
thing but coarse Misrepresentation. II
does not require Of the people to make
sacrifices for the sake Of some ideal
but promises them the same benefits
wealth, comfort, pleasure. power
which capitalism promised to grea-
er extent with less sacrifice"
That is an exceptionally clear SUM
ming up Of the Russian situation. All
advance for humanity is built upon
ideals and Sacrifices for ideals. The
form Of government matters little the
spirit is everything. Capitalism hap
pens to make ii easier for most people
to work for the common good Com
munism may be more beautiful in the
DRY, but is far more difficult. To try
10 grab the advantages Of the harder
| form without even the lesser sacrifices
Of the easier is to be destined to fail

MONEY is STERILE

Nature enforces her own laws. but
men resort to wars to try 70 enforce
theirs. Realizing that they then fail,
they resort 10 conferences and COM
pacts: Versailles. Paris, Washington,
Genoa. and next the Hague, the OBJ
ject being to compel the various ma
tons 10 recognize the "sacredness of

then divine right of kings, next, "sla-
very a divine institution" Now the
changes are rung on the "sacredness
of contract. But it's ever and always
the same thing, to wit: Exploiting the

Peace, plenty and prosperity can
make no permanent progress in the
world as long as barren metal or any
form Of money is conceded the faculty

REUNION AT LEESVILLE
ON JUNE THIRD

While am not an official in the
Leesville Confederate Veterans. | feel
that it is our duty to let the ladies who
entertained US and the visiting COM
rades from other parishes know thru
public channels that we very highly APP
preciate their splendid work. Nothing
was left undone to make us and our
visiting comrades enjoy the occasion.
While we do not know all the undiyid-
ual workers for our pleasure, we do
know that their labor and foresight
accomplished perfect success for
their enterprise. Most of the old Veter-
ans were surprised to meet such wei
come and in the winding up Of the
program at the Court House there was
music by the band from LIano Colony,
that reused feelings in the hearts Of
most Of the Veterans that had lain dor
mant in them so odd years.
When the band struck up The Bon
ME Blue Flag" one Of our old march
ing songs adapted to the South I'M
der the name of "The Home-spun
Dress" the spirit of the COS return
ed to our bosoms and a little noise from
old voices gave proof that old recol-
lections were still in our hearts When
Dixie" followed, few of the old Vets
could still. give what the old-timers call
the Rebel Yell"
The people of Llano Colony should
be proud of their band. which includes
artists almost from the cradle to the
grave" It is a pity that SO much tai
ent as exists in the world should 60
through life undeveIoped. The Col
ony at Newllano will have accomplish
ed a good work if it does no more
than prove that development of the
mind and refinement of the soul can
go hand in hand with labor that sus-
tains the physical body.
Again, the Daughters of the Confed
eracy have our thanks for their kind
efforts in our behalf.
Respectfully,

FINANCIAL WOLVES
CAUGHT in OWN TRAP

During the calender year 1921 the
doors of 528 state and private banks
were closed.
Of these 1863 were able to reopen,
or to make satisfactory arrangements.
That left 365 failed banks.
Liabilities Of these failed banks to-
tailed approximately $69.000,000.
Thus the average per bank was $263.-

-EsrosssAS ST. LOUIS VETERAN IS TO BE ENTERED IN
 BIG BALLOON RACE

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 20.-In order to make sure that Captain H. E. Honeywell, of this city, who won sec ond place in the recent Milwaukee balloon elimination contest, is prop. erly equipped to make a real try for first honors in the international con- test to be held at Geneva, Switzer- land, in August, local committee is hard at work collecting funds for Honeywells benefit.
 Captain Honeywell is a veteran of 55S fights, of which twenty-one have been races. Three were international contests.
 Honeywell's first international ex- perience was in the 1912 event, which started from Stuttgart, Germany, when he "flew" 1850 miles to a point 100 miles west of Moscow, winning third place. The Russian peasants, who surrounded the aeronaut, tore his bal loon to pieces, using the silk fabric to make Sunday dresses for their women. Honeywell himself was turned over to the authorities as a spy and held until the American consul at Moscow se- cured his release.
 In the 1913 international races, which started from Paris, he finished second in a field of eighteen, having covered 800 miles.
 Honeywell landed in second place, also in the 1920 international race, starting from Birmingham, Alabama, landing at Tongue Mountain, N. Y. after having covered a distance of 1000 miles. As an "eye opener" he took first place in the American race held at Birmingham immediately prior to the international event.. He GOV cred 900 miles in this event, landing at Chatham, Ont.
 If past performances are any cri- terion, then Honeywell should be well up among the winners.
 The veteran balloonist is in his fifty-first year. He was born in St. Louis September g, 1871, and declares himself good for many years more of balloon flights.
 The dean of all American balloon ists also is to be found in St. Louis. He is Captain John Berry, seventy four, who won eleventh place in the recent American eliminations. Cap tain Berry has just announced his re- tirement.
