All rigrhts of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Russia: Environment Versus Character Russia's ruin is the world's gain. For the first time in modern ages, socialism has had an
ormortunitv to be tried on a national scale. So
cialists have controlled and managed that gigan
tic empire now for five years. The results of
their management today, stand in judgment on them. No country's rulers better deserved their destiny than the czarist regime of Russia. They sowed corruption and terrorism. They reaped death for themselves and socialism for their country. Lenine and Trotzky made a clean sweep of the old order. They not only killed members of the
royal family, the nobility and the politicians of
the bureaucracy, but they also shot down in cold blood merchants, industrial managers, farmers and skilled laborers. It seemed aa if they wanted to obliterate all brain power save that generated in their own and the brains of their socialist followers. ' It is a tenet with most socialists that environment is the cause of all human troubles. Change the economic system, they say, cut out rent, interest and profits by abolishing private ownership, give, everybody plenty of everything, and everyone will be happy and do what is right. Character, they claim, is the result of environment. Therefore, since religion teaches that environment is the resultant of character, religion is a part of the environment of capitalism that should be abolished. So Lenine and Trotzky shed the blood and con
fiscated the property and savings of everyone in
Russia. Everything became the property of the
government. To complete the changed environment that was to bring forth new and better characters for all surviving Russians, they abol
ished religious worship and closed the churches.
Furthermore, most of the Russian socialists must
have been men of a certain character and had in
mind a changed environment for men only, for
another policy adopted was to encourage the nationalization of Russian women and the destruction of the home. The farmers were ordered to plow, sow and reap and turn their products into the government.' Laborers were told to man the factories and turn 'their products into the government. Then farmers and laborers were to go to government-owned bureaus and draw out in equal portions the food, clothing and luxuries for sustaining life and making it more comfortable and pleasant. What happened to human nature, to character, in Russia? Many laborers worked when they felt like it, and didn't when they did not feel so inclined. When they did show up at the factories they worked for a while and then gathered in groups for a time to listen to discussions of the glories of the new socialist dispensation. They appeared regularly, however, at the government-

owned bureaus to draw their food, etc. When
ever they attempted to organize to consider their i
own interests, the dictatorship of the proletariat, which was the name chosen by Lenine and Trotzky for their socialist government, sent troop3 with machine guns to shoot them down in old-fashioned cold blood. Farmers turned in a part of their crops and hid the balance in true, old-fashioned thrift against the coming of the proverbial rainy and foodless day. So Lenine and Trotzky sent soldiers to search for and confiscate their hidden food stores. When the farmers attempted to organize in their own interests they got a taste of bayonets and machine gun bullets. Food got scarcer and scarcer for everyone except the socialists in the government and in the government-owned food bureaus. Even the soldiers in the Red army had to tighten their belts. The farmers plowed and sowed less for others to seize what they reaped. The laborers worked and produced less for others to seize what they produced. What was everybody's business became nobody's business. Factories, railroads and rolling stock became junk because repairs were not kept up. Crops failed, and because no one had been allowed to. save any kind of a surplus, and the government wouldn't or couldn't, famine reared its ugly head. No savings, no credit. The Russian socialists were on their own resources to sinkor swim, quite like the old-fashioned belief that as you sow you reap. The spenders had been in the saddle. They had killed the savers and spent in five years the accumulated savings of generations, and the day of reckoning was at hand. Lenine and Trotzky saw this. They had to, because they instituted the fad of throat cutting as a part of Russia's new environment. Lenine announced a new -dispensation. Since the Russians had shown they were not quite up to appreciating real communism, they should
lhave a half-and-half mixture, with private own-
ership'and management in conjunction with gov
ernment. Farmers should keep half they raised, the other half going to government as an income tax. Private individuals were allowed to engage in trade. Private distribution, if you please, was re-instituted. Factories were turned back to pri-
I irnfo Tn 'inn rrnrc nn n nov'on f n fro Vacic in nfVint
words, an income tax. So the bloody cycle proceeds. Thus the gigantic experiment progresses, sowing and reaping. Russia learns at a tremendous cost and the rest of the world at a trifling expense, in comparison, the lesson that character is not the result of environment. Environment is the resultant of the outpouring of human character. Joyful or bitter, we make our own destiny. The world, therefore, has to be organized on a basis whereby the strongest and best characters can lead, guide and protect the adolescent and weaker ones. Russia's starving millions today are suppliants for help from America. By your contributions you do two things for them: You show them that this country, organized on a capitalistic basis, has a surplus greater than its own needs. You prove to them religion is practical, by returning good for evil and behaving to others as you would have others behave to you.
Ain't it a Grand and Glorious Feeling!

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up LESSER LIGHTS From "The Merchant of Venice," Act Fifth, I take this dialog between Portia and Nerissa: Portia That light we see is burning In my hall. How far that little candle throws his beam?! fco shines a good deed in a naughty world. Xorissa When the moon shone, we did not see th candle. ' rtia So doth the greater glory dim the less. A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king he by; and then his state Kmpties itself, as doth an island brook Into the main of waters. That, which makes this place in which we live a real world, is its lesser lights. Wo would tire of a heavenly sky with but a single moon enje'.veled within it. If every man and woman in a town were famous and distinguished, there would, be no one to point any of them out to the visitors. When you can but press a button and have electric lights flood their rays to every corner of yeur home, a candle in comparison seems worthless and out of place. But let the electric wires get out of order, a fuse- be burnt out, and your little candle takes its place in honor and serves well. Everyday folks will always be In the happy majority. And thank God for that, for He meant, it that way. The lesser lights of life are far the most interesting for more people can understand and appreciate them. And no matter how high any may sometime get in station, there will always remain but one medium of exchange between us and Heaven, and that will be the lesser lights common people, the simple things in Nature, the dumb, but understanding animals, the stars, the ground feeling underneath our footsteps. Never feel unhappy over being a lesser light. By smiling and rendering a worthy deed, you become a GREATER light!

So. 73 Balancing a Match A m-tch is balanced on the ball of the forefinger. To accomplish this feat secretly break off the tip of the match a the base. This leaves a number of tiny prongs or slivers of wood. When the luatch is set on the fiogcr it is pressed against the flesh and the tiny slivers are imbedded wry slightly. The match will then stand as long as desired. No one elss can do the trick, as they invariably fail to press the match into the finger. Copyright, 1911. by Public Ledoer Compan

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason
BALMY "SLEEP For those who toil, for those who weep, there is no comforter like sleep. Sometimes we think, when making hay, there'll be no finish to the day; the sun is lagging in the sky, and we are tired and hot and dry. We long for evening and repose, but this long day will never close. And yet the longest day will end, the grateful shades at last descend; the wearied plowman leaves the field and hies him to his lowly field; the plumber doffs his workday garb, the barber will no longer barb; the night is theirs for slumber deep, and there's no comforter like sleep. This life is like a summer day, and we grow weary baling hay. The hours are long, our burdens gall, the recompense seems all too small; our neighbors get the softest jobs, , our smiles all terminate in sobs; we're

approaches and the dark will wipe out all the cares that cark; no more we'll labor in the sun and count the wages we have won; no more we'll sow, no more we'll reap; the greatest comforter is sleep.
