OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS BRITAIN AND THE REDS Great Britain has finally succumbed to the lure of theg pound sterling in its attitude toward the soviet government of | Russia, and the announcement in London that commercial rela- tions would soon be resumed with the Russians under red rule| will not provoke enthusiasm on the part of peoples who realize the danger that is involved. e ' 1t is useless for the government of Great Britain to attempt| to deceive itself by making any distinction between the resump- | tion of commercial relations and the recognition of the bolshe-| vist regime. It is to be doubted if any considerable number of | the people of Great Britain are fooled. o Britain, it is understood, stipulates that the bolshevists shall not carry on their propaganda outside of Russia and prom- | jses that the British will not interfere with the internal affairs of | Russia. This may sound encouraging, but the well known char-| acter of the red leaders is such that few will have confidence | that they will keep their part of the bargain. Lenine and Trotzky will exploit the arrangement with; Great Britain as a great victory for the soviet government, and | it will be used to fasten the shackles of bolshevism more firmly | upon the Russian people. The agreement, too, comes at a time when there is reason to believe that the red rule has been seri- ously weakened from within. Commercial advantages which Great Britain may gair over other nations in dealing with the bolshevists will be over- shadowed by the moral losses which will be sustained, both by| Great Britain and by the world. By entering into trade rela- tions with red Russia, Britain has undoubtedly weakened the cause of Poland, Rumania and other countries which border on| Russia. The promise of the soviet government to stop its propa-| ganda will not be worth the paper on which it is written. In| the end, the apparently laudable purpose of Great Britain to| curb the radicals of Russia will be defeated. ! THE LAW OF WAGES Every employee pays for superintendence and inspection. Some pay more and some less. That is to say, a dollar-a-day man would receive two dollars a day, were it not for the fact that someone has to think for him, look after him, and supply the will that holds him to his task. The result is that he con- tributes to the support of those who superintend him. Make no mistake about this: Incompetence and disin- clination require supervision, and they pay for it—and no one else does. . The' less you require looking after, the more able you are to stand alone and complete your tasks, the greater your reward. Then, if you cannot only do your own work, but direct intelligently and effectively the efforts of others, your | reward is in exact ratio, and the higher the intelligence you can rightly lend, the more invaluable is your life. The law of wages is as sure and exact in its workings as the law of standard of life. You can go to the very top. And going down the scale, you can find men who will not work of themselves and no one can make them work, and so their lives are worth nothing, and they are a tax and burden on the com- munity. Do your work so well that it will require no supervi- sion, and by doing your own thinkinggyou will save the expense of hiring some one to think for you. —Elbert Hubbard. AESE L S Grand Rapids Herald-Review thinks it is about time to drop th.e subject of changing the name of Grand Rapids. It very “[mely suggests that the citizens of that enterprising northern city get busy, pull together and proceed to make it a little big- ger than Grand Rapids, Michigan, the rival that is causing it so much inconvenience. A fine suggestion, brother, the best of luck to/you. SRR Probably one reason the Russians have not been in a hurry to set up a rpsponsible government is that they would be ex- pected to begin paying their debts. * . Y e, .

A large crowd was gathering in a little park in the center of New York city. What attracted them was a cat stealthily crouching towards an unsus- pecting little bird. Inch by inch the cat crept nearer and nearer its prey. Every eye eagerly watched for the fatal spring. Suddenly the cat whirled round, caught its own tail, and began to bite it vigorously—apparently for some good reason. The commotion frightened the bird and it flew away. | .
