lie mind was not altogether the one
desired by the Communist leaders. It
almost undermined the faith of the
people in the Bolshevik regime. The
people awakened to the realism that
even the Soviet system is not free from
corruption, sharp practice and misnan-
agement; even the Rabkors were found
to be abusing their position of trust
with the newspapers and making I'M
founded charges against personal ene-
mics.
Already many Communist leaders de-
mand that newspaper editors shall not
print any derogative statement against
important government officials before
submitting the facts to the official con-
cerned. To this the editors rightly re-
join that no Official would admit facts
to damage his own reputation. Cases
were cited in which offcials resented
such inquiries and at least one public
caused the arrest of the editor and his
star because Of an article which ques-
toned the integrity of an official.
Does the Rabk0r system make the
Russian press more independent?
The answer may be found in the de-
liberations of the convention of news
paper editors recently held In Moscow.
It was the first convention of its kind
Seventy-three editors, 10 Communists
and IS government economists took part
In its six days deliberations. M. Iilgulow,
one of the foremost Russian editors
delivered an address In which he stated
that 78 per cent of the editors are
badly equipped for their work; that
their education Is not above the public
school; that the foreign news Ia the
Russian newspapers can be understood
only by Diplomats that local news Is
being written lin the style of police
records, and that the editorials are dull
and devoid Of interest

u. S. Has Sent Five
ENJOYS to Holy See

Ever since Vatican City" Europe's
newest state, was born as a result OF
the Cancellation pact between the Holy
See and the kingdom Of Italy, there has
been speculation concerning resumption
of diplomatic relations between the
United States and the Vatican.
1t may be surprise to many Ameri-
cans to learn that between 1848 and
1870 there were five American ENJOYS
accredited to the Holy See
During that time Pope Plus TX was
temporal sovereign over a papal state
which had its capital at Rome and &C.
cupied Central Italy.
Jacob L. Martin, first American Min
lister to the Vatican, died few months
after his arrival in Rome In l84S. His
successor, Lewis Cass, arrived in the
height of the Roman revolution when
the Pope and most of the diplomats
assigned to the Vatican had taken
refuge in the fort of Gaeta.
Cas- remained In Rome and the Re-
publicans took this as recognition OF
their regime, with the result that he was
enthusiastically cheered whenever he
appeared in public.
Gen. Rufus King, served as Minister
at the time the italian troops seized
Rome in 1870, thereby terminating
papal temporal sovereignty and the oc.
casion for American representation al
the Holy See. Thereafter our ENJOYS
were assigned to the Italian government
Between 1850 and 1870 the American
legation occupied several Of the mos
beautiful and historic palaces in Rome
For the entire first floor of the famous
Braschi Palace in Piazza Navona the
United States paid an annual rental oil
400 Roman scudi or $40. Part of the
time the legation was located in the
| Piazza di Spagna.
Business was evidently not excessive
for the consulate was open only from
IL to IL daily. The Holy See main

States, one In New York and one ir
New Orleans.

These are the topics on which the
pubic mind is focused daily. To be
sure, the same issue of the paper con-
tainS an unusual story of murder that
would have made front page COPY in
every American newspaper. But to find
such a story the reader first must wade
through the Capitalist terror" all over
the world and read extensive reports of
Communist meetings Then on an adj
vertising page he may notice at the
bottom small headline, In Court. IS
where he will read the story of the
murder in less than so lines
Agency Is Discriminating.
Foreign news is covered for the Rus
sian press by a government telegraphic
agency, known as TAS (Telegraphic
Agency of the Soviets). Like the Asso-
ciated Press, it has correspondents in
every important capital, but in the
selection of news it is rather discrimi-
mating. The TAS will waste neither
time nor money in reporting murder
unless 1t is Of political nature. 1t will
not report divorce cases, personality
stories nor any human interest story
unless it has a direct bearing on the
condition of the working class. At times
the news is distorted, If not by the tele-
graphic agency, then by the editors of
the papers In Moscow.
For home news the newspaper de-
ponds entirely upon the Rabkors. They
supply the news from towns and VIII
lagos. factories and farms
Most Of the Rabkor stories deal with
local matters in shops and factories
complaining of prolonged hours of labor
reduction in wages, physical maltreat-
ment by foremen. Managers are often
accused of favoritism, discrimination
etc. Charges of Rabkors frequently re-
suit in investigation proceedings by the
local branch of the Communist party
or by the trade union of which the &C
cused is member. If the charges are
substantiated the accused is disciplined
and In more serious cases the findings
are sent to the public prosecutor
Very often Rabkors lose their jobs as
soon as a letter" about conditions In
their factory appears in the press. They
are reinstated only after the interven-
ton of the local branches of the Com
munist party. In Leningrad a Rahkor
as result of his writings, was declared
insane by the factory officials and was
placed in psychic ward of hospital
where he was kept six weeks before his
friends learned of his whereabouts
In the villages the work of the
Rabkors Is strewn with danger, for the
Russian peasantry is by nature indiyid-
ualistic and dilikes intensely outside in
reference with its affairs. The Rabkor
does IT,; he puts his finger In every pie
and sacrifices his nose to get the news
No wonder that on occasions he gets his
ribs broken when the news Is printed
IT is not uncommon for rich land
owner exposed by Rabkor for exploit
ing his farmhands to conspire with his
own workers to beat up their defender
and the farmhands do the beating.

NIT. He expressed an eager desire TO
have his children secure an education
and follow in the trail of the white
people.
White Bull was an orator. He ac-
cepted the circumstances Of his re-
strictions and the curbing of any
demonstrations that he might have en-
tertained. Whole-heartedly, it is be-
lieved, he accepted the dictum Of the
government that henceforth he and his
people must spend their days on land
provided for them. No more could they
be allowed to roam at will over their
ancient hunting grounds. They had
fought ~valiantly and lost. Forever
thereafter they must abide by the de-
crees of the government and live un-
der conditions, which at the time, gave
little of promise for their larger free
dom such as they and their ancestors
enjoyed without let OF hindrance.

Mclaughlin who was visiting Mr.. VII

He was among the few who recognized
that the supremacy of the white man
had come. He saw that the planting
of a new civilization, different from
his own, was to be permanent. He
realized the patent fact that further
resistance to the authority of the gov
eminent was fraught with dangers to
himself and his people. He became an
apostle Of peace.
Corrydom w. Wilson, pioneer ranch

1894 to 1899 industrial superintendent
of the Cheyenne Indian reservation in
the southern part Of Rosebud county,
