Live-wire Doings of City j ILL CALL C0AS1 Entered as second-class matter, November 5, 1909, at Kosebure, Ore., under net of March 3, 1870. WEDNESDAY, JUNK 27, 1017. AMEHlt'A AND BUSS! A. It must have struck the Busslan council of ministers with peculiar force when Mr. Hoot reminded them thut he represented a "democratic republic" whose ruler was choBen by 18,000,000 votes "freely cast and fairly counted, pursuant to law, by universal, equal, direct and secrot suffraKo." In this triumph oi sen- Koiorninent, in a nation almost as populous an theirs, and more hetero geneous, the ItusHlans may perceive the goal of their own political striv ing. Our envoy uphold no claims of per fection. Hut he drove homo the main faot: "With many shortcomings, many mistakes, many Imperfections, wo have still maintained order ana respect for law, Individual freedom and national independence." These are Ideals which the lfus3lai.s hold In common with us. Hut to altalii them. Mr. Hoot recognized, It It not necessary that Russia should copy us bllnuly. Institutions, tnousn tnc Baine spirit, must vary in form to fit the nations they nro meant for. And so ho assumed that "as we have de veloped our Institutions to BUit tin needs of our national character and life," so Russian will develop her own institutions to servo her peculiar needs. Mr. Boot has beeim nuBpirlously as an Intorprcter of free and orderly America to free and disorderly una sla. He has clinched his presenta tion of American Ideals hy telling tho Itussians: "Wo have already be gun to light for your freedom e juully with our own, and wo ask you to fH:ht for our freedom equally with yours." This frank bid Tor nail nal comradeship should mako a strong appeal to tho naturally honest, brave and slmple-lioartcd Husslun charac ter. Becent reports from Russia are more hopeful. Tho great Slav na tion may turn again and light our common enemy, thereby rondorlng our own task far easier, it may eavo Itself from anarchy. How much of tho new trend Is due to' the Ameri can envoy and hla associates we can not tell. If they succeed In turning Russia into the course of an Amerl , can revolution and enabling it to escape a French revolution, they will deserve tlho overlauting gratitude ot In link I lid. .5 LAM) GRANT OPENING. Referring to the soon expected op ening of tho California & Oregon railroad lands, recently reverting to tho government through congression al action and United States supreme court decision, tho Oregon Journal has tho following to say this morn ing, and as tho mattor Is of pertin ent interest to Douglas county, wo quote: "Tho Inst obstruction to the open ing of the grant lands save one was cleared away when the Bean bill got Its death warrant.
