UNDERMINING RUSSIA The new republic of Russia has experienced much trouble as the re- sult of the venofnous work of Russians who flocked from this country to their native land after the downfall of the czar. Indeed, the most effective agents of the German propaganda in Petrograd and elsewhere were Rus- sians vhom Germany money had enabled to go back home from America and whom German money paid to curse America and to warn all Rus- sians against any dealings with us. The return of the Root mission brought back the first authentic reports of all this—and now ‘from Petro- grad comes news that Kerensky intends to deal severely with this sort of sedition. The State Department at Washington seeks to exculpate itself from any responsibility by inspiring publication that it was without auth- ority to prevent these men from leaving the United States. Nonsense. Every man of them could have been kept here; and it is passing strange that the administration: could not have suspected something in the spon- taneity with which so many Russians sought to get back home. Many of them, upon even the most cursory examination, would have been found to be men to whom the possession of passage money would be"a miracle —if not a crime—and it would not have been difficult to find out how they got the money and what expected to do when they reached home. |- Bub the mischief has been done. We .may loan money to Russia till she cannot pay the interest on the jnterest of the deht;. but we can never undo the wrong to the new republic when we let lodse upon her the meén who sought to ruin both her and us for the sake of German bribe money. N SHORT RECESS, IF ANY Indications at present are that the present special session of Congress will last almost up to the time of the convening of the regular session in Degember. After the pending revenue bill has been disposed of, Con- gress must draft and pass a new bond issue measure, and will then take up the subject of pension legislation, or war insurance, or both. There will also be a number of appropriation bils coming up to meet new re- quirements. If Congress shall adjourn before December, the interim will be brief. NOT NEW The banks are complaining of a.shortage of one and two dollar bills. ‘We hope their complaint will be able to produce some remedy for this con- dition of affairs—which a great many people have had occasion to notice and complain about for a long time without any good result. The fellow who will repudiate his obligation to his country in this supreme crisis of its history will repudiate any other obligation, it matters not how sacred. If he will evade his duty to his government, he will evade any other duty. If he permits “conscientious scruples” to stand between him and a performance of his duty, his consciense will work like- wise on any other occasion as well. He will bear watching. Nicholas Romanoff, one-time czar of all the Russias, has been sent to .Siberia. He may now be able to confirm his opinion of the unreasonable- ness of his former subjects in objecting to the climate of that country. The New York police department has opened a school to train detec- tives in the scientific detection of criminals. It is not stated, but we pre- sume Sherlock Holmes will figure largely in the curriculum. Through the investigations of the railroad war board it has been discovered that the car shortage is on a par with most of the other “short- ages” in this country—ready-made for the occasion. A prominent editor has been threatened with death, in an anonymous letter, because he condemned the draft resisters. He should protect his rear—no danger in front. = « A contemporary wants to know who took the ‘“pot” out of potatoes. It would be more instructive to know who took the ‘‘eat” out of wheat. Leavenworth (Federal Prison) New Era—One consolation: slacker is a far greater disgrace than being in prison. Being a “Disarm,” says the pope. disarm first. He started it.
