Many people who reeogniie that there la little tendency lo bolsheviBm in America are afraid that the new menace, having swept over Poland, will fiver-run western Europe and ih,n nric harm in many ways to i.n i.i,.ni and institutions. But ufM,,M it Inut lime: enouieb. even If trluinDhant. to "destroy European civilization" or any other Civilization? Modern civilization, despite Its oft spots, la pretty tough, on the whole. And Bolshevism, like any oiher Ism, la no atronger than human nature. Now, what is the history of radicalism, with individuala, groupa and nations? Turned successful, hut hnnnena to it? For a "close up," emblematic of the whole business, look at France, There was never any more radical nation than the French, in their red revolution. And what followed? Submission to an emperor, and then gradual development of solid demo cratic Institutions combining person al liberty with property rights. To day there la no more conservative people in Ihe world lhan the French a nation of "bourgeola" shop keepers. bond-Holders and small land-owners. Successful radicalism prospers materially. When those who had nothing get something, then, Just like everybody else, they want to keen It. Individualism reasserts it' self. Acquisitiveness strengthens. Itespect for property develops. Your dangerous radical little by little, turns bourgeois the proletarian be comes middle-class Ihe erstwhile Red ends as a conservative, demand lng law and order and recognition of vested rights. That is already happening in It us sia. The peasants, having got pos session of the land, are determined to keep it, not in common, but Indi vidually. Lenlne In Industry Is com promising with the bourgeois class. If he personally succeeds in a big way, he'U probably end as a master- capitalist. As for the nation, the property-respecting conservatism of the peasants Is more likely to domi nate the Industrial population than the Industrial radicalism is to domi nate the peasant majority, for peas ant and factory worker are the same at heart. Russia eventually will be as bourgeois as France, and the old er nations of western Europe will continue lo go their own way, along the established lines of human nature. iior all the wild howling about Brltlih control of the oil resources of the world, It la reassuring to hear from a recognised authority thui America Instead of Europe leads in oil resources and that In the loreign fields the United Stales nas n.-av) holdings. It is estimated that at present there are some 6,6H),ouo,00 barrels of oil still underground In the known oil-producing ar-us. while there la' ground of favorable char acter as yet undeveloped In most of the states of the Union. In addition to Ihe free petroleum within the Uulted 8tiiles, there is also lo be considered as a source of supply the vast oll-shule deposits, from which present surveys and estimates show more oil could be recovered than from the natural petroleum beds. There may be grave diplomatic ques tions Involved in the control of oil deposits in Mesopotamia, for diplo macy is a strange and devious thing; but so far as present, practical con siderations are concerned, there seems little to worry about. J -L.XI f YOl'NO Tltl'AXT OKKICEltS. The children of a certain public school system are to be enlisted in the cause of regular school attend ance, ruplls having the highest average attendance for a month will be appointed to check up on the ab sentees among their classmates dur ing the month following. Of course the first difficulty In such an ar rangement is that It seems to foster spying and tattling, but this element need nut enter into Ihe thing at alt if It Is handled cnrerully. The child ren, once aclivoly Interested, can do more to locate delinquents and en courage their mates lo regular at tendance than alt the truant officers combined. Often when a family moves Into a new neighborhood, the parents take advantage of the fact that they are strangers to send child ren who nre under age to work In stead of lo school. If the school children of that district are thor oughly acquainted with Ihe law gov erning such matters, they will spot these cases In a day, and acquaint the teachers with the facts. Children will co-operate in any activity, or put over nny reform, and do It In the right spirit, if they are properly di rected. The prospect of being truant officer In chief may servo to hold the wildest runaway of them all In his place. According to Dr. Charles O. Hill, who conducts a sanitarium at Haiti more, the whole world la In a "pen iimbral mental condition." Ordinar ily, he is quoted as saying, mental aberration is held In check by strong mornl forces, but during Ihe war this restraint has snapped, and now all mankind Is rather datTy. It Isn't ei actly a new story. " mad world, my musters!" exclaimed Shakespeare. Rut ha was, at most, only In half earnest. Dr. Hill seems to mean It. And of all Ihe craiy people on this crazy earth, he says, the baseball fan is the worst. Ilaseha'l patrons usual- ly think the umpire is crazy, but it is their own insanity that makes them j think so. suggests the doctor. Mav-1 be the learned alienist Is right. Hut 1 Isn't it a rather delicate and aus picious business for any man to In timate that everybody else has gone dlppyT Very likely some of Pr. Hill's pntlents feel the ssme way shout It. Controversy over Ihe new Califor nia statute restricting the land owning rights of Asiatics serves to call renewed attention to the menace of Oriental competition In trade. Callfornlans and, in fact, residents of all the Pacific Coast stales, are de termined to shut out Oriental labor because it works on a standard, of Income and living with which an American will not compete. The Japs In particular drive the American fruit growers and gardeners out of business. It Is reported that more than 16.000,000 worth of American made textile machinery was shipped to the Orient last year, and Ihe pro duct of the machinery lll come Into competition with similar products of mills operated here. That all the democratic ballots cast in the state of Texas were In valid and that the republican candi dates were elected, is asserted by Walter Holland, a Washington attor ney, formerly practicing in the Lone Star state. Holland declares that under Texas statutes no names can go on a democratic ballot unless Ihe candidates were nominated at a di rect primary and that the supreme court has held ballots defective If printed In violation of Ihe law. The candidates for presidential elector on the democratic ticket were named by a convention. CANT RUSH TO SAGHALIEN Japanese Government Bar All but Business Firms Approved by War Office. There will be no rush of adventur ers to the new fields for exploitation opened up by the Japanese occupation of Russian Saghallen, according to Mr. Murakami, chief of the fishery bureau of the department of agriculture and commerce, who la quoted In the l'o mluri: "None except those who really mean business and are In a position to se riously transact business will find any place for them In Baghallen," said M. Murakami. "All rights there are In the bands of the military command, and anyone that wants to go there, row must obtain a permit from tha war office. Certainly the forests there will yield plenty of wood pulp and other raw material, while there ore rich coal mines and possibly oil wells. But the chief product of that region Is the output of the fisheries." Speaking of the fishing rights In Sag hallen, Mr. Murakami said that after consultation with the army command an auction was conducted at Nlko lalevsk for those nights over which the army command Is able to furnish pro tection. No detailed report of the auc tion has been received. The bidders had to file their applications with deposit to guarantee their good faith, and they had to be persons who were qualified by long experience In fish, erles In that neighborhood. The Yomlurt snya that many repu table business1 establishments have been holding back from enterprises In Saghallen for fenr of the competition of adventurers and the hurt their rep utations might suffer In a mad scram ble for rights and concessions.

HURT COTTON INDUSTRY .lei of Violence Have Taken Var ious Koihik and .Many .Negro Fttinilk-a Have Heeli lHlven J-Toui their Home. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov 17 llesponsible sentiment in this state is running strongly against night riding which has been undertaken In this and other cotton growing stales to prevent the ginning and market ing of cotton at the present low price. Representative planters, hankers and busines men feel strongly that this lawlessness is giving the South a bad "bluck eye.'' At a receat meeting of the Arkan sas division of iho American uotlo, Association here, night riding was condemned as an act of gross ignor ance, tiov. ilrough has taken a vig orous stand against such actions, and he has further support, among others, from Claude Fitzpatrlck, the nresidint of the Arkansas Hunkers Association. All the forces of Iho slute and locaj governments ill Ark ansas are now co-operating to pre vent further lawlessness In the cot inn winning centers. The counter movement Is believed to lie doing much to stop the actlvi ties of the night riders. Mass meet ings ha,ve been leld in muny towns and the co-operation of the citizens has been proffered the officers In the maintaining of order. Acta of violence for which the night riders have been given credit In Arkansas have taken various forms, in addition to the burning of gins, warehouses and other property, fanners who attempted to murket their cotton have been threatened with death or severe punishment, and in some cases have been budly maltreated. Negro families have been intimidated and driven from their homes because they sought employ ment or worked as cotton pickers. Hundreds of cotton gins in various sections of the state have been post ed with warnings not to buy and gin cotton, the v.iunin;; including de struction of the plums ajid forfeit ure of the lives of Ihe owners. In one county eight men are now awaiting action of ttie grand jury on a charge of 'setting fire to a gin nery, and in other sections of the sta!te three white farmers have Just been sentenced to a yeur'B Imprison ment and assessed a heavy flue for the Intimidation of negro cotton pickers.

At one point of the festivi ties, however, everyone was made to Bather on the dajio tloor and a good old fashioned Kennania was had. The Shrhieis plan to hold one of these social affairs earn month.

If Oliver Cromwell bad lived JrJ these days a committee of alienists doubtless would have Investigated hi aanlty before now. For the Protector had a most abnormal streak In hla mental make-up. Fancy a man that could sign the death warrant of a king and then turn and spatter the ink from bis pen Into the face of a friend. ' In bla youth taverns were the chief resort of Cromwell. His ru and boisterous behavior early es tranged him from bis equals and he came to associate with a class beneath him. For be" could brook no Interfer ence or contradiction. The matter of the score at the lnni where ba caroused concerned him very little; the bills frequently went unpaid and be became extremely unpopular with the alewlves of Huntingdon who, when they saw blm coming, would lock the doors to keep out the noisy bully. So Oliver turned out to be a wild and dis sipated youth. The same Incorrigible spirit ran throuchout his life. It led lilm to encourage his soldiers to play practical Jokes upon each other, such as putting hot coals In the other fel low's boots. At the mnrrlnge of hla daughter In 1057 to Ulch, the Protect or threw sack posset among the Indian to soli their rich clothes, which they took as a favor from him, strange as It may aeem. And he put sticky candy upon the chairs where his guests were to sit. and pulled off his son-in-law's peruke, pretended to throw It Into the fire, and ended by sitting on It. Phil adelphia Record. OBJECT TO MENIAL DUTIES Reason That la Assigned for the Pres ent Scarcity of Trained Nurses in Hospitals. The full utility of many hospitals Is now Impaired by a lack of uurses writes "Glrard" lo the Philadelphia Press. Howard Butler, Jr Is trustee of an Important hospital here and be tells me they need SO per cent more nurses than they can get. "Why are nurses so scarce?" asked. "1 presume," answered Mr. Butcher, whose business, as you know, is Unit of a banker and broker, "It Is because girls think they can.euru more money In an easier wuy In some other occu nation " I have talked with doctors of wld hospttul experience about It and they say that the old practice of making girls In training fur nurses do drud gery for a year or so has prevented ninny young women from entering the profession. , "What good," said one great sur geon, "did It do to a nurse's skill to make her scrub floors or wash win dows? As well make medical students polish shoes, keep up the furnace fires and sweep oat the lecture rooms." Another physician of long expert. ence and who Is connected with a big hospital, added: "The hospitals will be obliged to cut out the manual labor for training nurses and will probably reduce the years of training, or the country will go back to the conditions when It had few or do trained nurses."

Albanl Gye, recalls an Incident which Indicates how heavily the late Empress Sugenle bore her many sor rows. "Many years ago I used to take my holiday on Deeslde," he writes the Dul ly Telegraph, "and once at least every season was called to Balmoral to slog before Queen Victoria. On one of these occasions the empress, who was on a visit at the castle, came with the queen to hear me. I believe that she had not heard any mush,: since the death of the emperor, and I had scarce ly finished my first song when she burst out crying. The qneen, on seeing this, began to cry also, and I, too, from sympathy, I presume, with the two great ladles', could hardly restrain my tears. I, however, very soon recovered my composure and. was able to con tinue my work." Gardens of Aahea. The town of Sheepshead Bay some yean ago entered into an arrange ment with the borough of Brooklyn whereby the contents of all the Brook lyn ash barrels were delivered for the. filling In of e great swamp. The refuse, reaching Sheepshead Bay In inrco metal tanks, was carried out Into the swamp by specially con structed trolleys and dumped. In this way some hundreds of acres were con verted Into dry land. The refuse contained so much vege table and animal matter that almost Immediately grass and sunflowers be gan to grow on the surface of the ma terial, and by the end of the second year thrifty Italians had planted most of the area with cnbbage and other vegetables. The ash dump became truck garden. Timber From Dead Trees. Some prejudice exists against the use of timber cut from dead Irees, ays the American Forestry Maga zine. As a matter of fact when sound dead trees lire sawed Into lumber, and the weathered or charred outside Is cut awny, there Is no method known to the forest products laboratory by which the lumber can be distinguished from that cut from live trees, except thai the lumber from dead trees may be partly seasoned wheu sawed.

Who knows I When this unspeak able bolshevik screen Is removed rosy be the ICnsslans will emerge as s greal race. Every people has done hard and queer things nt times, "Olrurd" writes In Ihe Philadelphia Press. Oxford university Is, perhaps, the Intellectual center of the earth, and yet Oxford was so benighted that It burned the books of John Milton, as blasphemous. It was Oxford, also, which declared during the Revolution ary war, "that Americans as a peo ple have forfeited their Uvea and their fortunes In the Justice of a state." Now look at the other side. In that same war, the czar of Russia re fused to sell 20,000 soldiers to King Oeorge to tight against George Wash ington. And we. here In the United Stales constantly abuse the Turk, who kills an Armenian now nnd then, and for get how we killed the Indians for three centuries. On one occasion, the cealous Christiana of New England, not far from Harvard, shut up 700 Peqiilnot In a modern prison and. ac cording to John Flske. all hut five were burned to denlh or murdered. So I any Hint in Ihe next century the Russian and the Turk may travel around the circle as fast as John Bull and Uncle Jonathan have In the last hundred or two years. WHEN LIGHT DAWNED ON HIM Young Man Understood Why the . Maiden at First Shrank From His Warm Embrace. After the glory of the setting sun It was dark. The mnn felt afraid as he stumh"d on after his companion who. woman-like, went straight ahead, re gardless of all obstacles. Angry murmurs from the unseen people whose toes they trampled on followed them like the wash of a steamer. But she paid no heed: to him fell the duty of muttering apolo gies. Just as despair was seizing him he saw her straight ahead. She had ob tulned a sent. And investigation show ed that the one next to hers was empty. Into It he sank thankfully. The picture was one of love and brav ery, with the usual fair heroine and handsome hero and beetle-browed vil lain. As they watched he slipped an arm around her slender waist and drew her to him. She struggled for moment, much to his surprise. Then she yielded. nnd he felt her nestle close to his manly chest. Five minutes later the picture end ed, and the lights went up. Then he understood he was embracing tha wrong girl. London Answers. Advertise In ths Newa-Rsvisir, Beautiful Oregon Waterfalls.

The Island of Bermuda was discov ered In 1515 by a Spaniard. Juan de Bermudez. Nearly 100 years later an English vessel with Virginia colonists was shipwrecked on the Island, which had been known as the Isle of Devils because of the terrific storms on Its coast, and had been shunned.
