Russian Democracy
Cincinnati Enauirerl


 At a time when self f-governrnent is being an- initiated in a number of countries it is cheering to find that the leaders of the Soviet Union have these last few years in saying they intended to establish democratic system in lieu of the dicta- torship which has prevailed since the Red revolution
 The Russian constitution, completed bears witness to this sincerity AS indicated by pre- lminary dispatches, the scheme of government in the Soviet Union will be singularly close copy of the democratic governments which have grown up in England and France with features more closely resembling the American system
 The Soviet regime is to include a legislature of two houses of 600 members chosen directly by the people the other representing the autonomous republics and therefore resembling somewhat the American Senate. presdium or cabinet will be chosen by the legislature, as in all parliamentary systems The chairmen of this cabinet will be the head of the government.
 No less important are the provisions which remove all handicaps from the class enemies such as land lords merchants and officials of Czarst days Voting will be secret in this country and will be open to all citizens whether Communists or not. Probably a majority of the new parliament will be non- Con- munists The new constitution also recognizes private property and limited private business, though not of course far to alenate the chief of pro- duction, which are under the state
 In a word, Soviet Russia is moving squarey in the opposite direction from the Fascist countries While they abandoning democratic self-g government the Soviet Union is moving toward it. and is taking its in major principles from the democratic systems of Western Europe and America. Thus while the Soviet Union remains Socialist country it is about to leave the ranks of dictatorship and in time no doubt will be recognized a place, if not of un- hampered individual initiative, at least of individual liberty.

 Three Choices
 One is a proposal by the Unit ed Dry Forces of California to write local option into the state constitution.
 An opposing body of opinion, operating chiefly through the Southern California Businessmen Association, is submitting an amendment tightening up liquor regulation but not permitting To- cal option. "Citizens in every community should have access to legal Iquor," the association con- tends.
 Or, the voters may choose to reject both amendments and re- tain the present set-up which, with minor exceptions, permits any kind of liquor establishment to operate anywhere.
 The 21 organizations making up the United Dry Forces dis claim any immediate hope of statewide prohibition. They in- sist, however, that dry-sentiment communities should be dry in fact and hence that local option would be merely flair play"

MALE QUAIL MAKES
 RELUCTANT MOTHER
lBY The Associated Press1

(By The Associated Press)
 HERSHEY, Pa, Oct.-A male quail went maternal near here & matched a brood-but he did it under pressure.
 Early in the matching period at the Hershey quail farm, the moth CT bird left her nest of 10 eggs and the father took her place, voluntarily at first.
 Then he became tired of his job and tried to leave. But each time he made the effort, the mother bird drove him back to the nest.
 Finally, eight of the 10 eggs matched.

People of every sort of course are to be found in a large city like New York. It is not a cause of wonder, therefore, that Man haitian has produced the woman who entered the Emergency Re- lief Bureau to pay back the mon- ey that she received from the government while under the press of necessity. About 70 percent of the bonus bonds have been turned into cash. How much of it was used in the way followed by the Gotham lady is not stat ed. No opinion is offered as to whether any of it should have been disposed of in that manner. To three men in ten, the bonds looked better than the money. 1t may be assumed that about that proportion were prompted by trend of mind, or justified by cir cumstances, in glancing toward the sky in search of the small cloud that grows until it brings about the downpour of the pro- verbal rainy day.

Questions That
Some Folks Ask
About Cardui

BENEFIT FOR MAL-NUTRITION
Thousands of women testify Car
dui has helped them to overcome
malnutrition and to easy many of
the functional pains of menstrual
ton.
What is meant by helping to
overcome malnutrition'?"
Cardui contains extracts of two
plants which are classed among the
"bitters" in medicine because they
are known to increase the flow of
digestive juices-to improve diges-
tion-so there is a craving for suf-
ficient food for the body's needs, and
by their action more energy Cor
strength is obtained from the food
eaten. The food, of course, brings
the additional strength, but Cardui
serves as the means to this end by
its good influence on the digestive
system.
