REALITIES IX RUSSIA Walter Lippniann, in a most keen and interesting exposition of "The Political Soene" in the current New Republic, says of Russia: "It is possible to make war upon , a nation organized, under a govern ment. There is no way ot winning a wSr against several hundred thou sand more or less independent vil lages. Yet that is the fundamental . condition in Russia today. All the ordinary rules of warfare are inap plicable. It is not possible to bully Russia into order nor to curse her Into It. She will have to be drawn Into it by re-establishing the bonds of economic inter-dependence be tween her fragments and the organ ized society of the west." He follows this with a somewhat Complex scheme for an International trading corporation somehow under the wing of the league of nations. Then: "Now the raising of the standards of life resulting from this trading, and from relief, might gradually re store the contact of the Russian peo ple with the outer world. And with contact would come thajt sense of the realities of government and bus iness which is necessary to the re vival of Russia." And there, hidden in that sen tence, lies the key to all Russia's troubles. Russia has 'been thinking she could live without business and without government. Some sort of vague anarchistic mania was to feed her when government and business were gone. But the mania of heav enly Intervention has failed. Living requires work. And both living and work require order. And the order ing of life and work are "the real ities of government and business." Gaping at unrealities, Russia is starving and dying of cold and mis ery and disease. Her sense of Teal values must In some way be brought cbaclc to Jier. Most governments have been bad ly administered In the past. So has most business. But to throw them away means to throw overboard, re taining chaos. And in chaos people perish. VICTORY LOAX A XT) BOLSHEVISM "The Victory loan will bring out all the bolshevlsra In this country," says a war loan worker. "And when It does, I hope we will do with the - -wavers of the red flag what Is done with traitors in the war shoot them." This is an extreme utterance, and possibly an unwise one. There Is no need of stirring up trouble by radlcaV threats. It serves, however, as a timely warning. There Is un doubtedly going to be aegood deal of under-hand opposition to this loan, and a good deal of passive re sistance. It does not follow, at all, that any person not actively helping to promote the loan or not subscrib ing to it is a Bolshevist and the enemy of his country.

Then we'll know where we stand. TO Juneau, Alaska, Apr. 5. Paying a tribute to the stalwart men of Alaska who rushed to 'the American standard during the war, Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., in his annual message to the territorial legislature today, said the territory approached the problems of peace "with many of .the burdens of war still resting heavily on our shoulders." The need of raising greater reve nue by taxation to meet reconstruc tion problems was emphasized by the governor. He suggested four methods: a classified property tax, an income tax, and additional trade licenses, and a poll tax. Proud of Alaska's war record, the executive urged that the legislature vote to award of a medal to the ter ritory's men who entered some phase of military service. "The world war has demonstrat ed," he said "that the loyalty of a very great majority of Alaskans are j of the highest type. Fully one-half of the ruen drafted endeavored to enlist, but were prevented from do ing so by the regulations of the war department. Alaska may well be proud of her participation in the af fairs of the nation. Alaska is an in dusoluble unit of the United States of America. Our fla? Is the Stars and Stripes, sanctioned by the blood ot our men on European battle fields." MRS. ANNA M.

Governor Olcott this morning filed in the su preme court a petition for an alter native writ ot mandamustto compel State Treasurer Hod to show cause why his salary warrant for governor for the month ot March should not be honored. The petition was pre pared by, Attorney General Brown. This action follows a prearranged program 'between the governor and state treasurer to procure, if possi ble, a supreme court decision relative to the right of Mr. Olcott resigning as secretary of state and naming a successor to that office without Jeop ardizing lils right to remain as gov ernor. In a recent opinion by the attorney general the governor was assured that the supreme court un doubtedly would settle this legal question. In addition to demanding that hlB salary warrant'be honored, the gov ernor's mandamus petition says: "Your petitioner particularly prays that this court will define his du ties and powers in relation to the of fice of governor." Under this request it is believed that the court will settle the ques tion as to whether or not Mr. Olcott remains as governor for the full four years of the unexpired term of tho late Governor Wlthycombe and whether or not he can name his suc cessor as secretary of state. If the court sustains the recent opinion of the attorney general, the governor will resign the secretary ship and name a successor in order that there might be three members on the state board of control and other important state boards.

PLAN FOR BETTER DAIRYING Joint Ownership of Purebred Slri Enables Herd Improvement at Minimum Expenit. Dairymen who would like to use purebred bulls to Improve their herds but who cannot afford to' purclutKu such auimuls should Investigate the advantages of a co-operative bull a soclatlou. , These organization Hre formed by farmers for the Joint own ership, use and exchange of purebred bulls. The purchase price imd cost of maintenance nre distributed nwrdlna: to the number of cows owned by each member, tlwrehy giving the dairyman a opportunity to build up his herd at a minimum expense. The organi sation also helps Its members to mar ket dairy stock and dairy products, to fight contagious dNrusr of cattle in telligently, mid In other ways to assUt In Improving the dairy Industry. Tho typical co-operative bull asso Ciatlou Is composed of from fifteen to thirty farmers, who Jointly own five bulls. The territory In which these farmers live Is divided Into live "breeding blocks," ouu bull being as signed to each block. As many as fifty or sixty cows may belong to the farm ers In each block, anil the bull In the block should be kept on a conveniently located farm. To prevent Inbreeding each bull Is moved to the next block every two years. If all the bulls live, and If all are kept until each has mude one complete circuit, no new hulls need to be purchased for ten years. In this way ench member of the nsHuciutlun has the nse of good purebred bulls fur many yours, at a cost of only u small part of the purchase price of one good bull usually less than Is invested In a more Inferior bill owued by Indi vidual dairymen. In a survey conducted by the United States department of agriculture- on 1.210 farms In eight districts In Iowa. Minnesota and Massachusetts In which there were no associations. It ivn found that there were 817 bulls, hav ing an average value of $70. Had the owners of those cheap bulls been prop erly organized the same Investment would huve purchased the necessary bulls of an averagu value of l-N't. In one association ha vine more than WO members the original cost of good purebred bulls to each member was only $'S. When questioned regarding the value of co-operative hull associa tions, 1M farmers In Maryland, Michi gan and Minnesota estimated that the Purebred Bull. use of bulls belonging to the organiza tion Increased the value of the off spring In the first generation from SO to 80 per cent, with an average of 05 per cent. The selection of the bulls for on as sociation Is one of the most Imporlnnt considerations, A good purebred bun will make rapid nod marked Improve ment In the herds, and the association Interest Increase In proportion to the Improvement obtained. If a poor dairy bull Is used the milk production of the members' herds Is sometimes reduced, the Interest is lessened, and these conditions may lead to the breuklng up of the association. Success In the op eration of an association depends a great deal on the care thnt Is used In its organization. Dairymen contem plating forming an association should consult the local county agent, write to the state agricultural college or to the dairy division of the United Stutes de partment of agriculture ut Washington for advice end assistance. The farm ers bulletin previously mentioned will be found Of great value along this line, particularly the suggestions which are given In connection with the constitu tion and by-laws.
