That roads which would be of a great value to the coninufnlty, were they properly cared for, should bo allowed to go In such condition is a tribute to the negligence rather than the progres sivener.s of the county which per mits It.

She has not shirked in bartle, haa fought her best, paid the price in blood and bone and notwith standing, is better off today" than she was two years ago. Kusaitts first big win was by p.bol ishiiig vodka. Russia Is without drunkard 8. Her second was hoi economic and industrial awakening. She is k-urmng lo walk alone. This double' social nnrao'li wrought 'b.v the war ought to prove a compensa tion to Russia for all she has lost or stands to lose. Russia has nearly 200 million peo ple of whom about 160 million, or SO per cent ure peasants. These are better off than ever in their lives. They get good cash prices for what they soil. The high cost of living does not effect them much as they live off their farms. Labor is scarce but what there is, is sober and ac complishes more than used to be ac complished when it was plentiful. The peasants today have money. Prior to the war, 800 million rubles (400 million dollars) a year left the villages and country to pay for d"ink. All this money now remains In the country. Some 500 million rubles a year are now paid by the government as pen sions or war allowances to the fami lies of soldiers. Therefore, at least a billion 300 million rubles a year are now in the villages and country which, before the war were not there. Shldlovsky, president of the con trolling bloc in the Duma, himself a land owner, told me: "I am now em ploying a number of men on my plantation whom I had ban com pelled to fire before the war on ac count of drink. "In the villages a veritable miracle has taken place. Characters T used to recognize as drunkards, wifte beatcrs, and ne'er-do-wells generally, have been completely transformed by the lack of vodka. They wear good clothes and are clean. On Sundays you see them at church with their 'vives neatly dressed and without the black eyes which used to be charac teristic of them. "Carpentors, cobblers, joiners and vorkmen generally are doing better work and more work now that they can't drink. DriiuT abolition has worked a social and economical revo lution in this country." Everything is expensive in Russia at present largely owing to lark of transportation facilities In the In terior and lack of a good seaport. Put high prices really effect a com parative few the college professors, lnwyers, members of the professions, clorks, etc. whose Income have not -f"-n incretisp,! since the war. The working classes, as n rule, are less hnrd hit because work is plentiful nd wages t'n or throo times us Ugh as they were two years ago Parlous citizen organizations hnv lone good work along this line '-enln things going. j At the start of the war, Russia's! crops were threatened. Russia wasj utterly dependent on her crops and j If they failed her, she would really j be ni) against it. The t'nlon of lo-J cal or county councils all over the empire got busy, joined hands wih the military and the job was done. ! Souadfl of laborers were told off to gather in the produce. No cor ner of the country was too remote to pass unnoticed. The crops were sav-l 'd to the last grain.

Llnd, Cleveland chlot no- Itco iirosccutor, has found out that nlne-tenthB of all crooks are. un married. Two thirds or tho men Jailed were nolween the ages of 21 and 30, according to his figures, available here today. "It seems that conditions In un married life tend to make men crlm InalB or that persons with criminal tv'--'c -n inclined not to marry," concluded I.lnd after his Investiga te M. "In 4 00 casen which passed through my office there was no def inite economic condition that would result in crime. "Only about half of tho mnrrled prisoners had children and ninny of the married ones were separated from their families. -ulo women who tako tip crime are also single or at least sep arated from their husbands or fami lies. This Is ha ril to prove because women prisoners are no Inclined to tell the truth. When a woman landti In Jail she generally clulins to bb married and says If her husband heats of her predicament he will forsake her forever. Khe also claims to be the mother of severnl small children, dependent on her care all of which, nine times out of ten. Is untrue. "If a married man gets Into trouble he generally commits n real crime, not a misdemeanor. If a mar ried man with children finds his way behind the bars. It Is usually money troubles which have placed him thore. "Hut If any particular class of the human fatnlly Is a inenaco to the rest, unmarried men are the gulltf ones. , , , "The vny to lessen crime Is tt advocate early mnrrliiges.
