Telephone 'Vo. 71. partmeut, Monday Afternooir, September 17, 1917 A THEORY THAI; DIDN'T WORK. Whatever else may happen in Russia, and an v thing is possible save the return of the Romanoffs one thing is certain the theory that the best thing for Russia was unlimited license for all classes, literates, to voice their extreme opinions as to how the country was to jbe run has failed to work. In other words, the well-meant indulgence of a new Government that itself was at sea result ed months ago in such confusion worse confound ed, such a babie of violent tongues that one does not even have to invent the bugaboo of German intrigue to explain the desperate state of things that is the outcome of such folly. For one thing, the revolution could not perform "miracles. The large mass of illiterates and the incredibly ignorant and superstitious were just the same after the downthrow of Czardom as be fore, save that, through the universal license giv en, fanatical leaders were enabled to sway them this way and that without rhyme or reason. Then the Government, terrjfied by blatansy of the Coun cil of Soldiers' and Workmen's "delegates, for which there was no exact parallel in the French Revolution, was unable to get its point of view and its better sense before the people in a convincing manner. Not even "The Mountain" (as the rab ble under the French Terror, which occupied the highest seats in the -assembly favoring Marat, Dan ton and Robespierrerwas called) ever dream ed of going as far as has the extreme radical group m Russia, now seemingly in control of the commune of Petrograd, whose anti-social cry is against all the moreresponsible elements of the country and the community. The thrifty the fru gal, the business men and. the manufacturers, all men of property, are alike anathema to them, Veritable sans culotts unchecked, their arrogance seems, to be growing, and it is symptomatic of the original failure of the Kerensky Government to rally to it the moderates, who are just as patriotic as the dictator, who sooner or later will have to be consulted inrworking out the destinies of a united Russia. Too tolerant of the day dreamers and the adpocates of violence, when Kerensky, -even be fore the outbreak of Korniloff, tried repressive measures, the mischief had been done; the army was demoralized and civil life undermined through the propaganda of a kind of freedom that resembles that of Bedlam. Yet the fat-witted leaders of the Peoples's Council over here have urged America to imitate "wonderful free Rus sia," wonderful to-them because unlimited -speech has brought Russia to the anarchy they seem to desire everywhere in order that they may promote their "made in Germany" kind of peace. "Letting off Steam" is not a social panacea. And self-control for nations with respect for or der and the rights of others is as necessary a con dition to civilization as self-control in the indivi dual is necessary to his own progress. Until somebody in Russia learns this, things there will befrom bedtolworse to the" glee of the imperial marplo-at iliiahb; watcheg-? broth, of anarchy boilinfto his tasfe., ' o AN -ORDINANCE - AUTHORIZING THB issue of electric lights AMI SURFACE DRAINAGE SEW- F ER"S1?STEMS, .

The Comfdrtable Momey PleMira Is At least, it is more plentiful than it has been for some time. With a war on our hands, the Gov ernment is expending huge sums for the staples which go into the army cantonments; it is com manding the materials which come from our cot ton, corn and other produce crops in making cloth ing for our soldiers and feeding them. The big to bacco corporations are tailing all the tohacco that is offered at High Prices. This is pleasing to the producer, but still he is not squandering this sur plus foolishly. He is still "close," economically speaking. Those who must remain at home are in need of, among other things, Furniture and House Furnishings and they want them reasonable. Here's where we come in. You know what this House stands for a square deal to everybody at all times. W e are unloading several cars of Furniture Suits, Trunks, Stoves and Ranges and Floor Coverings in fact everything you would expect to find at a first-class furniture store.
