How Lenin Rules "The retreat of the bolshevist rulers of Russia from communism continues," says the Chicagt) Tribune. "Lenin calls it a strategic re
treat; that is, it involves no concession in theory
from doctrinal communism. Fanatacism will believe what it likes to believe ; but Lenin is com
pelled to deal with realities- The Communist experiment has failed miserably and the failure cannot be explained away exept to Communists, who think if facts are against them so much the worse for the facts. The new economic program admits capitalism and private initiative into the reconstruction of Russia because there can be no reconstruction without them. Lenin excuses and explains to his fellow doctrinaires, but is responsible for results. As a ruler he makes concessions in actions essential to his continuance in control. "But if he find3 it necessary to compromise with economic necessity he has not yet been compelled to concede anything politically. In
fact his economic concessions are giving him aj
longer lease of power. If he stood pat upon his doctrinal program he would fall, and he does not intend to fall if he can help it. "He jettisons his principles or at least his Communist program for the sake of saving his power. That remains because Lenin is a masterful man whose fanaticism is tempered by his sense of the realities of rule. He knows well that his rule is based not on a doctrine but on force. From the first he has understood this, and it was because he understood, it that he rose amid chaos and controlled events as the moderates could not do. "At this stage he retains the Red army and that formidable organization, the Cheka, which controls the army. While they are loyal he can
concede what he pleases, and it is evidently nec
essary to condede more and more as the results .of Communist fallacies accumulate. But Russia now represents not a revolution but a new
form of autocracy, a dictatorship, not of the proletariat, but of a pretorian guard. Perhaps this is necessary at this stage, but meanwhile the
peoples of the world have had a striking demon
stration of the unsoundness of Communism and its unfitness to sustain a society on the modern
plane of civilization. Lenin may continue to
rule Russia until he dies, but hi3 doctrine already is dead among intelligent peoples. He survives
upon naked force, force organized and subsi
dized, a czar in all but his title and the ritual
which clothes his power."

"What woman, indeed!" snaps Mrs. rurvis "The woman you talked to, of course." "I talked to no woman," says he. "A woman called you to the phone. "Oh yes. That must have been Mr. Bilkin's private secretary. She put in the call." Mrs. Purvis glares menacingly. "That's old stuff. Henry." "I was talking to Mr. Bilkins. I have never deceived you, my dear." "Ha, ha!" chirps his better hair. "I know you never have And you never will. You've pulled that secretary stuff. On me twep'y-five times, Henry, And you have never put it over.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" ON RUBBING ELBOWS We taste of contentment only as we find It and take it. But in order to do this, it is necessary that we rub elbows with the varying experiences of everyday life. Through bodily and mental suffering as well as through the joys of the body and spirit are we made fit for happy companionship with those we love as our friends. People are what make the world both livable and possible for each of us. And so we must rub elbows with people. All of thera we will not like. And many will not like us. But the contact with all helps to make us what we are possible companions for the few. The traveler is usually a very broad-minded individual b"ecaus9 he has rubbed elbows with all kinds of people in all parts of the globe. And when such a person settles down at his work in his comparatively limited circle, he stands quite apart, and his mind has a thousand unique experiences to draw upon. From the shelves of his wellstocked memory he can draw a volume for almost any mood or moment. The man who rubs elbows with all sorts and through extended years comes into his middle age rich in mind and heart. It was Ulysses, coming into the white winter of his declining years, who exclaimed: "I am a part of all that I have met." To feel the throb of another earnest life, to be warmed by its touch of sympathy and love, to walk in even step with it and know that an eternal, silent understanding is enfolded these are some of the blessings that follow in the path of elbow-rubbing. Even the dumb brute longs for companionship. Somebody or something must be around. But. let us rti elbows with those able to help us see ourselves in better light and for more useful service. We are all in a crowd. But the crowd radiates worth!

posedly by the turtle: "What are you going to do with me?" j The old man stopped and asked: j "Did you speak to me?" I The voice replied: "Yes, I said what

Mrs. Blank: But, Uncle Sam! What justice Is there in me paying this tax of over 3 per cent, and then paying an income tax also? Uncle Sam: On the theory that taxes should be imposed in proportion to the ability to pay.
Mrs. Blank: Brother John, you
know. Is a farmer, and although his net Income was nearly $3,000, he pays no income tax. How's that? Uncle Sam: People of that moderate incomes are favored by us to that extent. Your brother John is granted an al-

But truly, no class of people pay their tax so certainly and regularly as you bond-holders, for the tax is retained out of your interest, and only the balance of 4J4 per cent is paid to you. Mrs. Blank: Well, if that be true, why don't you pay me the real worth of my money, 7 or 8 per cent, and lot

WINTER NIGHT When winds are shrieking and clouds
are leaking a cheap-john brand of snow, and things are freezing, it's doubly pleasing a cheery home to know. The storm grows louder, and like white powder the snow sifts through the cracks; the drifts are piling, but I am smiling, and life Is slick as wax. Here in my shanty, with wife and auntie, and grandsons nine or eight, I read my paper' while storm-fiends caper and bowl their hymn of hate. For I kept busy till I was dizzy before the cold blasts came; with vim and ardor I stocked the larder and spoiled Old Winter's ga?ne. The round plunks earning, no fair job spurning, I banked some iron men; now I should worry when wild winds scurry outside my comfy den. A
squash named Hubbard is in the cup
board, I've loaves of kickless bread; up in the garret there is a carrot, and cord wood in the shed. And all is paid for; the goal I played for my aunts
declare I've won, and winter's squeal-
