MONDAY SEPTEMBER 2" 1920
MacSwtney Is Sullen. Headline.
No doubt his keeper served him a
cold breakfast with burnt toast
enough to make any man sullen.
FOOL AITO DRIVERS
The other day we saw two men
and a boy crossing the street. The
lad who appeared to be about seven
yeais old was a few steps ahead.
Suddenly a truck which had been
unloading some merchandise with-
out a sound of warning shot back-
wards across the street crossing. Only
by remarkable agility did the boy
escape serious injury. The driver
appeared unconcerned as he drove
away.
Most drivers of motor driven ve-
hicles are careful and thoughtful of
others. And the fact thnt automo-
bile accidents are kept down to the
present number is duo to their care.
But there are also a considerable
number of damfool drivers who ap-
parently have little regard for the
rights of pedestrians. They make
our thorooughfarts dangerous to adults
as well as to children.. Such driv-
ers are never sorry until an accident
occurs.
We can think of but one remedy
for such men and that is to pro-
hibit them from driving cars. Ped-
estrians are often very foolish but
foolish or otherwise they must be
protected from those drivers who have
no regard for the rights of others.

THE FACTORY-FARM AT WORK
The man who raises our wheat and
our tomatoes is told from time to
time that he ought to run his farm
like a factcry that In that way lies
a larger Income for him and a more
certain food yield for the country. To
which the farmers reply that condi-
tions are different that the factory
problems do not Include weather nut-
is the factory's market so far off
end so uncertain More than that
says the farmer. "I run not merely
a factory but n home I am raising
children ns well as potatoes and that
complicates my problem."
But the factory farm Is n possibil-
ity and a successful one and we have
the word of the New Jersey State
Chamber of Commerce for It. That
body has Jut issued a rpport on the
Seaboard Farms Company near
Bridgeton.
This Is no farm whose "seas of
golJcn wheat stretch ' further than
the eye can reach" nor one whose
cattle are counted by the thousand.
It Is a proposition if raising "gar-
den truck." of 10.000 backyard gar-
dens rolled Into one. It turns out
half ft million dollars' worth of M-
tuce and onions and strawberries
and splnnch not forgetting parsley
and peppers. It Is financed by near-

BULWARK AGAINST ItOLSIIEVISM
(From the Enid News I
Lenlne the Bolshevist boss of Rus-
sia complained in a recent speech
that the worst foe of Bolshevism Is
"the opportunist artixtm-ratlc work-
ing class." That class consists of
the skilled Intelligent workers In-
duitrials who In America are accus-

tomed to think and act for them-!
selves. They have grown out of the
proletariat Into the rank of the bour-
geois or middle class citizens. They
have acquired some property and
naturally want to keep tt and ac-
quire more. Thus they have gained
the sobering perspective that prop-
erty gives a certain respect for the
law and order without which personal
possession of property and safe trans-
mission of It to their chosen heirs
are Impossible. They have desires
dreams and hopes.
Lenlne had in mind particularly
English workmen probably because
of the memory of the outcome of the
visit to Russia some months ago of
a little company of inquirers repre-
senting British labor. That visiting
commission as it sets out was sym-
pathetic to principles set forth in
an expression of the ideal Bolshevism.
It returned after the shattering of Its
expectations deeply impressed by the
wretched state of the unhappy coun-
try It had visited.
One of the members of that com-
mission was Mrs. Philip Snowden an
internationally known trade unionist
and the wife of a socialist leader
and member of parliament. Mrs.
Snowden declares herself to be "a
socialist a democrat and a Christian"
and denounces Bolshevism as being
"antl-soclallst anti-democratic and
anti-Christian." She saw nothing in
Russia that was cither socialism or
communism; nothing In practice but
slavery tyranny suppression of all
criticism espionage and terror Bert-
rand Russell another member of the
commission and well known socialist
found the Bolshevist rule to be "in-
ternally aristocratic and externally
militant. "
Mrs. Snowden and Mr. Russell havj
represented In conservative England
the radical evolutionary forces to-
ward social progress which in auto-
cratic Russia were found In Prlnc.1
Kropotkln under the old regime and
In the class autocracy of Lenlne in
Peter Wrangel. Kropotkin who might
have been a power In the Czarist
regimes became a revolutionist from
the highest motives and his advice
before and after his Imprisonment
escape and exile was in the direction
of a popular government free from
wild theories of Impossible personal
equality.
Peter Wrangel was a baron of the
old empire and was a large land-
holder. He realized early In his career
as commander that the old system of
landlords and peasants could never
"go" In the new Russia. So Peter
Wrangel ruled that the peasants could
keep as their own the land they had
taken. He also ruled that where the
peasants had not taken the land it
must be given them. It was no cruel
confiscation for what the peasants
were to be given was already right-
fully theirs. It was land which they
and. their ancestors had tilled and
lived on for no one knows how many
generations. The rich could retain
their home estates and pleasure
grounds.
It happened that one of the great
properties to be divided and distribut-
ed was Wrangel's own. ancestral do-
main. It also happened that Wrangel
was too busy commanding his army
to take time to attend to its dis-
tributions so he sent his wife to do
It. She divided the land and dis-
tributed it conscientiously. They are
up-to-date practical unselfish Rus
sians.
Prince Kropotkin was one of the
first to' hurry to Petrograd when the
empire was overthrown. His keen
insight into the possibilities and also
the dangers that faced the Slav mil-
lions could have had faith to direct
their newly acquired power. The
prince believes in a soviet form of
ru'e In which the actual producers
by hand and mind in all lines become
the dominant power. But he de-
clare the moment such a nominal
government becomes dominated by one
unopposed parly assumes a party
dictatorship failure must result; un-
der such a party dictatorship the
labor and peasant councils lose all
their significance.
Such centralization of political pow-
er In a few hands is condemned both
by the English speaking socialist
Bertrand Russell and by the Russian
prince who warns the world that "the
Immense constructive work that Is re-
quired from a social revolution can-
not bo accomplished by a central
government even If It had to guide It
in Its work something more substan-
tial than a few socialist nnd anarch-
ist booklet. It requires the knowl-
edge the brains and the willing
collaboration af a mass of local and
! specialized forces which alone can
I cope with the diversity of enocomical
problems In their local aspects.
I The same the true advocate of
social progress whether It be In
Russia KnclunJ or in America are
no more for the autocracy of a
Lenlne than of a Nicholas. Skilled
labor "aristlcrutlo opportunists." as
Lenlne culls It Is one of our strong-
est bulwarks against Bolshevism as
it has been misapplied. Such labor
has a keen outlook upon things as
I they are. and the lust of their visions

CLOSER RELATIONS
BETWEEN THE 0K1TED
STATES AND MEXICO
Kansas City. Mo. Sept. 25. The
recent presidential election In Guat-
emala will have a beneficial effect
upon commercial Interests In the
United States says Dr. Edwin R.
Heath of Kansas City Kansas con-
sul stationed here for Guatemala and
Bolivia and consul general for Hon-
duras and Nicaragua.
"American Investors In Guatemala
are fortunate In the recent election
to the presidency of Guatemala of
Carlos Herrera by an overwhelming
majority after the enforced with-
drawal of Manuel Cabrera" Dr.
Henth said. "Cabrera was another
Diaz. While he had done much for
his country he had been an autocrat
for many years and would not allow
another candidate for president to be
presented. The new president Is
much more in sympathy with Am-
ericans and American ideals.
"There Is a great need of a bet-
ter understanding between the United
States and the republics of Central
and South America. The rrtost cry-
ing need is for Improved mail serv-
ice. United States mail is very uncer-
tain In South America. Steamship
companies have fulfilled their con-
tracts when the mail has been un
leaded on the wharf and distribution
Is left largely to chance. Improved
consular service and better shipping
facilities from the United State to
South America are greatly needed.
"Atherlcan commercial interests need
salesmen educated In the language
and diplomacy required to carry on
trade with South American people.
South Americans prefer our manu-
facturers hut their difficulty Is to
get satisfactory service. Great rail-
way projects are under way In Boli-
via which will open up the head-
waters of the Amazon Paraguay and
other parts of central South America.
These will he financed partly by
citizens of the United States but
their progress is temporarily checked
by Internal disorders In Bolivia."
Dr. Heath Is a fellow of the Royal
Geographical Society of London and
a noted South American explorer. In
his explorations he discovered the
Rio Madre tie Dios and opened up
valuable rubber Interests In Bolivia
and Brazil. A river which forms
part cf the boundary between Bolivia
and Peru is named for Dr. Heath.

STATE BOARD RAISES
Oklahoma City Sept. 23. Reconsld-
erlng the estimate of funds required
for Oklahoma this year as adopted by
the state board of equalization ten
days ago the board this afternoon
added approximately $700000 to esti-
mates. Increasing the total from 19.-
449.000 to more than $10000.00.
Board members present at the meet-
ing were Gov. J. B. . A. Robertson

tion. Frank Carter state auditor and
Fred Parkinson state examiner and
inspector who opposed the adoption
of the estimate at the lost meeting of
the board did not attend the meeting
today.
The board did not take any action
in the ' matter of Carter's refusal to
certify the levy of 1 mills for gen-
eral revenue to the counties of the
state for collection.
The largest item Inserted into the1
estimate today was $500000 to provide
a fund for giving state aid to consol-
idated schools in accordance with an
act passed by the legislature In 1915.
The new estimate of funds needed Is
based on further study of the state's
probable financial needs Governor
Robertson said.
Leecraft reported to the board that
in his recent purchase of state bonds
from the sinking fund he had reduced
the money available .for retiring the
1913 4 per cent bonds to less than
$200000 whUe there remained $600000
for retiring the 1914. issue of 4 per
cent Interest bonds. The board voted
to transfer $600000 to the fund for
retiring the 4H per cent bonds.
