The real possessor of freedom is the one who makes a con scientious use of it, says Providence Journal. I t is in the most highly de veloped form of society— where we might expect the least trammels— that the most trammels are self-im posed. Consciousness of power rouses in any right-thinking man the desire to employ it sparingly. It is the yel low-streaked mind that lends itself to selfish schemes of aggression. The bolsheviki are political parvenues. They have had no experience in gov erning themselves or anybody else. They are carried away with the idea that liberty is a gift from the gods, by virtue of which they may rule their unhappy neighbors with blood and iron. They are as crude and danger ous as a small boy with a buzz-saw. We can only hope that out of this tangle of theories, this welter of suf fering, peace and order will eventually arise. Surely the insanity of the pres ent lawless processes cannot go on for ever. From where the helping hand, the guidance of experience and' wis dom is to come, it is not yet possible to see. But somehow the hapless Rus sian people must and will be saved from their worse selves. —=-— T T i------ / I \ O t )e r t M o r r i s E V O LAIT1 O N A n immigrant boy, ¡f he fan errands for a J Philadelphia store— worked, studied, saved a little out of meager earnings against later needs.
