Kansas Doctor Says Bolshe

CONDITIONS SERIOUS
Russia Is a Country Where I .aw an
Order Have Been Adjourned
Looting: la the Most Serious
Phase of Life There.
By Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kansas, Nor. 2$.
A somewhat different picture of the
Russian bolshevlst from that set
forth in popular cartoons and litera
ture of the western world, 1 drawn
by Dr. R. K. Nabour, head of the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
who has Just returned to America
from a year' trip to territory under
bolshevlst rule.
Doctor Nabour headed a mission
looking toward the establishment of
a trade route from southern Russia
to the United States. He was in the
employ of a fur company which was
Interested in obtaining skins of the
Karakul lamb. The Karakul are
grown principally In Bokhara, cen
tral Asia, formerly a principality of
Russia, now under bolshevlst author
ity. During the war this trade was
suspended, but through efforts of Dr.
Nabour s mission, a trade route has
been reopened and commerce re
sumed between Bokhara and the
western world.
Contrary to popular conception.
the bolshevlst, Dr. Nabour says, Is
not hairy, shabby and unsanitary. Ho
wears the same kind of clothes the
average American city dweller, and
the popular term "hair bolshevlst"
Is a misnomer, according to the Kan
sas eaientlst.
"I was unable to reach the in
terior of Russian," said Dr. Nabour,
"but I saw the typical bolshevists In
Tiflls, capital of Transcausia. Of
those I saw of the sovlety adherents
none wore beards nor did they allow
their hear to grow long.
"I was unable to secure a passport
to travel In Russia, so had to be con
tent with standing on the edge and
talking to those who had been In. I
spent some time In the northwestern
part of India, across the border from
bolshevlst Russia. For the most part
I was able to learn facts about bol
shevlst Russia first hand from army
officers, American, British and
French observers and traders, and
Russian refugees.
"Nothing we have read or heard
probably overdraws the bad condi
tions, economically, mat exist over
there starvation, ravages of dis
ease, and looting. This looting phase
has brought about a condition where
by only enough produce la raised to
supply the farmers' actual needs.
Their farms are likely to be looted
at any time, though no more ltkeiy
by the bolshevists than the anti-
Bolshevists. For Instance, it fs well
known that the anti-bolshevists ana
bolshevists get together and assign
the towns and territory .they should
not loot respectively. I do not mean
that this procedure Is taken under
orders from Moscow or irom ueni-
kln. But this condition exists among
Individual groups. My point is that
they are all. so far as can be ascer
tained, eatially bad. It Is simply a
country where law and order have
been adjourned."

Roseburg Boy Sets
Football Record
ALBANY, Or., Nov. 27. The foot
ball eleven of Albany college includes
"Fighting Parson" James MeNab, a
senior from Roseburg. whose record
is mentioned by Coach R. W. Mc

night to the football squad In recog
nition of their work, which was at
tended by practically the whole stu
dent body .and several alumni from
different parts of the state, Me.S'ab
received the ovation of the evening.
The story develops that McN'ab,
who has a withered arm. due to a
hunting accident several years ago,
and whose weight is only 145
pounds, appeared on the field the
first day of practice In September.
His coming was considered a Joke by
his fellow students.
Hut he began to qualify Immedi
ately for a position on the team, and
In the first scrimmage proved his
ability on the line. His case was car
ried up to the faculty, and afer Mc
Nab's rx-rsonal fight for a place on
the team and full consideration of
all the facts, he was permitted to be
assigned to the position or right

Many Shut Out
From County Seat
Tlin Port Umpqua Courier has the
following to say:
It id a strange proposition that
teachers of the Lower I'nipqua
country, for the sake of conven
ience, anil to save great expense for
themselves are forced to attend inwti
tutes in other counties than in tho
county In which they are living and
leaching. Such is the situation here.
For the want of a road from this
section of the county to ItoKeburg
the teachers of iteedipurt and liar
diner and other districts attended
the Lane county teachers' inlllute
at Eugene this year. Last y,ar sev
eral of the teachers here attended
institute In Coos county for the same
reason. Wc wonder if the business
men of Roseburg, as well as tho
school sytem of Douglas county,
realize what they are lining by this
condition of affairs? A road that
should have been liiillt a score of
yearn ago or mine Ig being put off,
until scenic roads are built first.
Over 3000 pel, pie being shut "ff
from tho county seat ot tno county
in which thev live, fur the want of

Just Ihlnlt ot It! This is tile condi
tion In which the people of the Low

feit of promise by past rouniy conns

in all around education, ino com

Churchill disclosed the fact that an
upplicant for certification had some
times been denied It, not Decause
his or her musical qualifications
were Insufficient, but because there
was not evidence of the required ed
ucation otherwise.
"It was interesting to note what
can be accomplished in high school

boys and girls glee clubs from a
very Binall beginning, until now they
are recognized as well balanced and
well trained choruses, ao much so
thut the Portland Chamber of Com

only one student majoring in music
