EXPERT TESTIMOXY. The report of Emma Goldman m conditions in Ku3.-ia should be classed as expert testimony, and Ilmma senda a sad and distressing picture of the present government. Deported from this country for preaching the doc trir.es on which the empire of Lenir.e and Trotzky 1 founded. he expected to find the industrial .and fecial heaven in the land cf her birth. ?h was forced to flee from that land becauee of her protests arain.Tt the oppreion of children and of women. Now she wrlte3 her story from the Fifety of Sweden. Of the many characters who hav- held the notice of the public. Emma Goldman elands out as the rpjeere.-t of complex characters. She prided herself that she wa3 an anarchist and for yeare was known jus its high priestess. Lodged in a penitentiary for war utterances, she revolutionized the priori and turned it from a place where hopeless women were sent out broken and degraded into a place where they were helped and aided. Orhcials of the state privately gave her credit for a reform which they had been unable to effect. Preaching a doctrine of death to kinS3. she had an intellectual side that made her the much sought lecturerr on the drama before the audiences com-ros-ed of college professors and teachers. Associating with the reddest of reds, she earned her living from the most conservative forces of America by telling them what they wished to know of literature and of languages. Her experiences in Russia, the land which had adopted every measure which she advocated, have sent her from that land denouncing it a the most oppressed of all peoples. She puts the results of her oleervation3 into this mo?t severe indictment of the regime, more severe than any any words she ever used against republics or democracies. "During my two years' etay in Russia I visited many institutions, but I met very few har.py children. In all that time I heard a really hearty child'a laugh only once, in Archangel. On the whole, most children in Bolshevik Institutions impressed me as colorless and stereotyped, veritable children of orphan asylums. "The Russian revolution as a radical social and economic change meant to overthrow capitalism and establish communism muet be declared a failure." Thcsa who cling to the belief that Russia will remain upon its present basis for any extended reriod jil find her observations illuminating, for .'he knows. It may last for a few years, but the thing3 she saw and fedt and found are euch as to make certain that a revolt from the present Soviets into demoency and a republic iß certain and inevitable.
FIT TO CEXSOR. A magazine writer, commenting on what is happening to the movies, sayo that censors are never fitted for their jobs. That Ls the trouble with all sumptuary legislation which seeks to measure the morale, the etandarde. the tastes of all people by a rule which is fixed by only a few people The enforcement of laws must be placed in human hands and the human mind, fortunately, does net run in grooves but has that multitude of v'.tw-pcintj which creates the nece-ary conflict to arouse new aims and ambitior.e. The movie h.a. been condemned from many source? and pome of the criticism is so palpably well founded that few communities are willing' that the men who control that industry should have undisputed sway over the sort of things they show-. To find fit censors, aside from rolitieal consideration?, has been the impossible Job because censors. cr.:e riven power, cannot refuse to inject their idea cf cood taste into what should be a matter solely of morals. ome day ther will be a real censorship of the movies, the censorship of an educated and moral public which will condemn by its refusal to patronize .tv film which shocks its idea3 of virtue and which cpenly panier? to vice and viciousr.ess. The censors who alone are fit to pass upon any

enterprise is a board composed of all the

cad tarte into wise Judgments. o Oti?rEditorsT!ianOu?3

For not only is the aged working man disqualified by his infirmities from taking any part in the work in this world, but. In this country', he Is almost disqualified from living. Experience has shown that from the. small compensation paid the unskilled and a very great prcentage of our millions of work
