"A the international white hopeful! He
believes that the early downfall of
the U. S. S. R. is on the agenda If
he had not believed this for several
years people might think he was full
of vodka, but when a man exhibits
signs Sof political arrangement for
several years something else must be
ths matter Alex has made more
predictions of similar nature than
any man living or dead with the ex-
ception of Grand Duke Nicholas and
William J. Burns, author of the
famous interviews on the Wall Street
explosion.
KERENSKY spent four months here
"A as the guest of New York Dis
trict attorney, the socialist party, the
chambers of commerce and the Amer
lean Federation of Labor He deliv-
cred the goods. That is, he told those
lads what they wanted to hear, in re-
turn for their coin. The Czarist
emigres have little else to buoy up
their courage in these dark days ex-
cept false hopes. 1t is the duty of
the more mentally agile among them
to furnish the dope. In the United
States, the officials of the A. F. of L.
fear that the militants in the trade
unions led by the Communists and
progressives in general may turn
them out into the cold. 1t is con-
soling to learn from an authority like
Kerensky that Communism will come
much sooner on Mars than in the
United States"
EVIDENTLY Kerensky has not sue
a. ceeded in convincing the United
States government that the social
revolution will take place in Mars be-
fore it bestows its blessings on the
workers Of this con ~. Else the

peasant boot on his political posterior
when he was sent flying into space
from the Winter Palace to make room
for the Bolsheviki. Kerensky is |
human, hence we understand the rea-
son for his chronic emission of bile. |
Being grateful for small mercies we
note with pleasure that he has left
the country as first class passenger
on the Homeric, no doubt at the ex-

tack on her thru paper called "The |
Common Enemy" Those old hussies
whose minds are as light as {; whiff |
of cigarette smoke, have not the in
telligence to understand what Mrs |
Kelley and people like her stand for.
In fact Mrs. Kelley is perfectly good /
and harmless liberal, good because she
means well, and harmless for the rea-
son that her efforts to chisel off the
rough. edges of capitalism are as in
effective as an attempt to change the /
character of the savage leopard by
clipping his claws.
IN one respect this country is the
most lawless in the world in other
respects the most orderly. There is
less heckling at public meetings in
this country than in England. This
lis so much so, that when heckling in
cidents take place, even such a we'll II

decomposed tomatoes and cabbages
are not added by way of good
measure to the vocal discord.
GERMANY had a reputation for
other virtues besides efficiency.
Compared to the volatile Latins, the
lleutoHS were supposed TO be Stald and
orderly. But if this was true of the
past it certainly is not true of the
present. At recent session of the
Prussian diet, Communists, socialists
and nationalists, mopped a beer
soaked floor with each other. Had

congress it would provide headline

France in 1917, to fight for Wall
Street and the British Empire.
