RUSSIA GETTING BACK TO
 BASIC PRINCIPLES

Russia is beginning to take her medicine One by one she is discarding the theories of government based on the assumption of mans equality and accepting the lesson that anarchy and paper money have painfully taught. There is no more boasting of new era of interna- about by reducing all brains to the same meas ure of accomplishment and leveling men and women to the same plane, as a lawn mower does grass.
 Russian delegates at The Hague are trying to convince the world that Russia is making an earnest effort to conform to world thought rather than to lead it. The commissary of finance informs The Hague conference that the soviet government now contemplates the issue of bank notes based on gold to the ex- tent of 25 per cent of their face value. That is far departure from fiat paper money
 Another high official of the soviet govern ment declares Russia will welcome some ar- engagement calculated to bring about restora- tion of the property of foreigners that has been confiscated. This proposal and that of issuing more stable currency arise out of the desire of the Russian government to Twin the worlds confidence so that tangible help may come from the outside word.' The right method has made beginning.
 France destroyed the powerful class in the revolution of 179S. Another set of men arose to power. The first of these were the mon- sters like Marat, Danton and Robespierre. whose rule was by the guillotine. From this futile effort to reduce all mef to the same level the French turned, when the enemy threatened, to the iron will of Napoleon and made him an Emperor with as much power as Louis XIV exercised Fortunately for France, Napoleon had the upbuilding as well the fighting sense, and France prospered, even while her blood was let in profusion to gratify the ambition of her dictator.
 It is the way of all revolutions. There is an orgy of slaughter, then futile attempt by mad theorists to establish Utopia on earth and then the recovery of the nations poise.

LEXINGTON JURY
FAILS TO AGREE
MIsTRIAL IN CASE AGAINST
JOB c. SWYGERT
,rdec Dismisses Jury After Forty
two Hours Attempt to Reach
Verdict

The State.
Lexington. Jan. 23.-The jury in
TIE c;se of Joo C. Swygert, charged
with murder for the killing of DR.. j..
e Nicholson of Leesville, was dis
charged at l1:O5 this morning by
Judge Ernest Moore of Lancaster, and
. mistrial ordered. The jury had beer
ou, ~ hours.
The case against Swygert was called
for trial last Thursday morning and
the taking of testimony consumed two
dsvs. Both the defense and the pros
acut;on presented quite number OF
witnesses. The testimony was COM
nleced Saturday morning and argu-
ments by both sides consumed the rest
of the day, the case going to the jury
ct 5 40 Saturday morning.
Job C. Swygert was charged with
murder for the killing of DR.. Nichol-
son at Leesville on April last year.
The defense offered testimony to the
effect that DR.. Nicholson threatened
the life of Mr.. Swygert and had made
sIanderous statements concerning
swvgert's family, and that Mr.. Swy-
oer+ on this Sunday morning, shot
Dr. Nicholson because he thought ms
own life was in danger. Nothing was
brought out at the trial to indicate
that Dr.. Nicholson was armed at the
time of the shooting. DR.. Nicholson
was shot in the streets of LeesvllEe
and died that night in a hoSpltai IN
Columbia.
The trial of swygert was attended
with considerable interest, as botn ne
and DR.. Nicholson were very promi-.
nent in Lexington county, the court
room being filed to overfowing dur
ing the entire trial.
swygert is now out on bail, $4,000
being named by Judge Moore the
same as before his trial.
The state was represented in this
case bv Solicitor T. C Callison, Crouch
e. Ramage of Saluda and c. L. Blease
Of Columbia, while the defense was
represented by Zimmerman and Gra-
ham of Lexington, E. L Asbill of Lees
vile. C. L. Shealy and Efird & Carroh
! Of Lexington.
The case against Newt Kelly and
Frank Golf was continued by Judge
Moore this morning until the next
term Of court. The continuace was
granted on the ground that j. B. VIM
gard, attorney for Golf, was i'll and
unable to attend court.
Kelly and Golf are charged with
murder in connection with the killing
of David Shull in New Brookland over
year ago, and the case has been
continued from time to time on differ
ent grounds, once because it was al
leced that the 1921 grand jury had
net been properly sworn at the begin
ming of the term; once because attor-
news for the defense had not sufficient
time to prepare the case, and twice
on the ground that attorneys could
not be present.
Judge Moore continued the case to-
Gay after attorneys for the defense
assured him that they would not again
ask continuance for the same reasons.

New York, Sept. Extensive
buying of steels and equipments
several of which were pushed up to
new high records. and pool opera
tions in specialties, which resulted
in a number of substantial gains,
featured today's session of the
stock market. Profit taking in
other parts of the list combined
with speculative selling in Stude-

foreign oils. gave the market
spotty appearance at times.
United States Steel common was
one of the individual features,
touching 106, its highest level since
1920. This was attributed in part
to the monthly tonnage report is
sued Saturday afternoon which
showed an increase of approx

conservative estimates had fore
casted.

words, Job.

Secure. This word is COM
pounded from the two Latin words
Sc out or apart and 'cura,' care,

be out of trouble or sure By the

Of the people, is derived from Latin

'gubernare,' and this from the
Greek kubernao,' which meant
to steer, this word will be seen
to have had a far humber standing
than its present influence in the

applied to ship, it now means to
guide or to rule. Thus the COVER

ARBITRATION A FAILURE.

The makers of the Esch-Cummins
transportation law probably meant well,
but in offering the railroad labor board
as a safeguard against railroad labor
trouble they got off on the wrong foot.
They offered arbitration where the need
was for judicial decision with govern
mental authority.
There is a heap of difference. Arbi
tration might serve to settle a row where
only the rowing parties are concerned
But when the row is over the production
of the necessities of life for everybody,
it is quite possible for the parties to the
row coming to an agreement which will
make up their differences out of the
pockets of the public. And all that arbi-
tration can do is to settle the row. 1t
does not guarantee justice to anybody.
There can be no private and partial
settlement of these controversies over the
production of coal or running railroads.
These things reach out and touch the
lives of every human being in the coun-
try, since all must be kept warm and
supplied with the necessities which can
be transported only by means of the rail-
roads. And any system of arbitration
which serves only to fix up matters to
suit those who dig coal and sell coal, or
those who repair engines and cars and
those who own railroads, cannot serve the
ends of government, for the government
has no right to act save in the interests
of everybody.
The war labor board is essentially an
arbitrational body. 1t is composed of
three members constituting the labor
group, three members constituting the
management group, and three members
constituting the public group" The very
terms of the act indicate that this is not a
judicial but a fractional body. Moreover
it gives to the public, whose interests
from the governmental point of view
ought always to be paramount, but one
third of the votes.
At the best any such scheme is make
shift. In that complex economy which
must provide in abundance the great
essentials of life, there is no place for
patchwork and tinkering, much less for
subterfuges which may result in detriment
to the great mass of the population. Over
the great industrial mechanism charged
with the production of necessities, must
be the firm, just, powerful hand of civil
government empowered to administer
justice and to enforce its DEGREES with
finality.
