There cannot fail to be general ap-~ proval over the outcome of the strike that has been underway in Winnipeg since the first of M: for it has re- sulted in victory f«e those who stood against an utter disregard for law and order, and for those who recog- nized the danger of and were willing to oppose the bolshevik tendency. For weeks Winnipeg has gone through the mest unjustifiable treatment at the hands of a civilized body of work- men. Inspired by dangerous leader- ship similar in character to that which was attempted at Seattle, deaths, injuries, destruction of prop- erty and the threatened overthrow of constituted government have all taken place in the Canadian city. But for the realization of the ten- dency of affairs by the citizens of that community there is no telling . but what a large part of Canada would have been undergoing the same sort of experience that has fallen to the lot of much of Russia. There was no inclination on the part of the strikers to be governed by the established laws or by organization rules. They were bent upon having their own way and making the rest of the people take the consequences. Fortunately they did not succeed but in this connection too much eredit cannot be given to their united actions overcame the menace. Winnipeg has been through an ex- perience that it will not care to have repeated. and it is not believed that| there will be much danger of it there.! It required more time to crush it than was needed at Seattle because it was better organized but they will nevertheless be guiding lessons other cities which may be similarly threatened. WHERE SHIPS WOULD HELP. Of late there has been a steady rise in the price of coffee. told that it was brought about by the ixing of the price of coffee during the war which resulted in the import- e price asked in Brazil profit. This affected the stock on hand and. prices have necessarily been rqpidly boosted. the price fixing was removed and future trading was permitted the hortage of the supply here and the over the stock. in Brazil served to maintain the high prices. But it is interesting to note in this connection that the captain of a Bra- zilian liner, which has just brought 0,000 bags of coffee to this country, decl that his country has raised more coffee than ever, which seems to offset the claim of a shortage, and rther insists that it is lying in bags on the docks in Brazil going to waste want of steamships to take it away. hus it would appear that if steam- ips are available there should be ttle or no reason for the increase ev- day or two in the price of coffee, the same captain declares the best is selling for ten cents a pound to two pounds for a quarter. For a long time it has been recog- nized that one of the great needs of e try is better transportation between this country and American ports, and certainly would appear that unless the Bra- and make a it captain 'is indulging in fairy les that it is transportation right now that will bring coffee down where belongs. And the inability to get razilian products is probably caus- ing no different conditions here-than the szme lack of facilities is causing in Brazil EDITORIAL NOTES. 0| e of or | ver much circles, ® o rmer iermany az| for | he only | e placed upa | however, | when me | the signed | is hav out its es the foment d that | has re- quick to made to me nm ed 2@ 1 g e believ: Germany ! be . b | REDUCING THE ARMY. ng the ar- | through the ef- to determine the a oing to be future.

There will have to be a lot of soft drinks poured down after the first of July to afford the government a rev- enue equal to what it will lose from prohibition. Of course any day on which the treaty is signed will be considered un- lucky by Germany, but it will be nothing compared with the day war was declared. There is always a great rivalry at this season of the vear to see whether the greater number of deaths can be secured through automobile accidents or drownings. In: uch as members of the United States army are bringing home 10,000 brides, if is quite evident that all their time while in Burope was not taken up in fighting. From the way in which Germany has respected the provisions of the ar- mistice it is quite evident that it hasn't proved itself fit to belong to any league except the outlaws. It will be known in a few days which the president thinks can make the greater holler, the side that is de- effebtive July Orst or the side calling for modifica- tions for six months. forl We have been | being unable to purchase at the| But even when | b! | spray: THE MAN WHO TALKS We all want to be happy as well as rich, and most of us are neither. No school teaches us how to be content, which is the buffer state between| these two conditions. Money will not buy happiness, and a feeling of secur- ity is not a foundation for it. It abides with the spirit of hope, and we often- est find it in the happiness of others, or in steady occupation; and strange as it seem we are never 50 happy ‘as we want to be, or as miserable as we think we be. We may dwell with Joy in one hour and ‘with Misery the mext, but we can endure neither all the time. Service to one another is the handmaid of happiness; and so is the consciousness t#at we abide with God and that He abides with us. Have you ever thought of the birds as planters? From the fact that they cannot digest fruit seeds.they become automatic agents for their own sup- port, hence the wild cherry bushes and poison ivy -which snring up be- side the walls and fences, and the re- newal of strawberry .beds in wild lands. I have two rows of strawberry plants grown from seed -dropped by the robins and gathered from beneath my trees, and the fruit is much larger and more satisfactory than that from the plants bought. So if the robins steal strawberries from my bed they have one compensatory hab- it. I never dreamed they would bring me a new variety of strawberries, but 1 have the evidence of ‘their contri- butory work in the garden. How do you suppose it is life opens with hope to the human soul, and too often closes with avarice? It is the young man who feels able to cope with the world, and the old man who looks about him with envy. The man who gets millions always wants more; the man who is wise i§ always in his Fa- ther's house and blessed with his gratitude to providence; and the poor- est man is he who is without money or hope. We are up against the va- garies of nature in all kinds of life as well as in the agricultural life; and we do not know what she has up her sleeve for us. The rich want more, the poor want more, and the tradi- tional horse-leech wants more, and we can't tell Uother from which! 1 love to work by the window where I can watch the birds: and only yes- terday I had a kingbird call, the first one in a score of years. The garden is full of young robins, for since the cats. died in March, the garden s-.ms to be considered by the old birds with its dense borders, as a good and safe training ground for young robins, and there are new fledglings in ‘it every week running about, learning to hunt their own food and to fiy. The other day I surprised the wren. and the lit- tle duffer surprised me, for he fluffed up and seemed to roll ever so fast to get away that he looked more like a fleeing rodent in the’ grass than he did like a bird. When he got far enough away he resorted to his natu- ral flight. The old robins are bringing of cherries into the garden and seem to enjoy it as a quiet retreat, and the sparrows are training their young there. Too many people in old age make themselves miserable looking back up- on what they call a wasted life. Hav- ing neither become wealthy nor wise, they are preparing to make them- selves miserable. Perhaps the; just what God intended the be; and perhaps they are not! It takes all kinds of people to make a world, and no man has ever become so good or so great as the man the world condemned to death. You do not know how small you may be, or how great the other fellow is. There is no way for you to find out. ~Men are mot horn with the same energy, power of perception, or ability to do things. = We are talked to about our equality, but no one has ever dis- covered it yet, although the leaders of men are trying to find it in de- sents God's supreme creation, and mocracy. Man flatters himself that he repre- that he is the master of ail things on carth. Provided this is true, what has he to show as a result? Look- ing at the world today, just as it is, he is the monster among all created be- ings. If he has been made master of 2ll things created, he is not master of himself; and in cruelty and ra- paciousne. toward one another s to excel all other crea- Favored with knowledge we must recosnize him as a master of artificialities and systems which make man a victim of his own cun- devil, and seldom lossoms into saint- ning. He can be as perverse as the hood. His supremacy ends usually in an abust of the power God has given ! hims A religious friend of mine once had a rantankerous brother-in-law who fairly crazed Him. Perhaps you do not know what a rantankerous brother-in-law is. He is the husband of a sister’ who insists upon being a law unto himself. He drinks and he gambles and he has so many per- hapses mixed into his life that per- haps he comes to his meals and per- | haps he doesn't; and rhaps he comes home at night, and erhaps he doesn’t; and perhaps he comes home sober and good natured, or perhaps he doesn’t! In his distraction he one day said to me: “Oh, I've asked God in prayer to make an end of him many times!” “Do you believe God answers prayer?” said L. sis he s “Then why haven’t you asked God to make him a good man, as He could do it just as well” “By George,” he replied, “I never thought of that!” A great many people live and die thinking they believed things which they never did. You can't take truth on trust as you might a barrel of aps ples, or a ten dollar bill. You can't steal truth, but you can delude vour- self by the thought that you have it. Truth is not inert for it is energetic and inspiring. You must not only pos- sess truth, but truth must possess you, before you can come into spirit- ual harmony with righteousness. When truth possesses you it compels you to be loyal and act it according to your power of perception. It is be- cause you possess it and it possesses you that it has the power to make you free. It was not believe, but know the truth and it shall make you free! We have often heard it said: “Na- ture is full of surprises,” and she stimulates the brightest workers in the land to thought. There is the man Who feels proud to keep his little gar- den as clean as a ballroom floor, and when he thinks he is a great success because his friends come and praise his industry and achievement, some day he is surprised by a common rugged weed close beside a stake, or screened by a plant, that is three feet high. It is startling, he has so thor- oughly weeded and cultivated that piece of ground so many times, and ! still this weed has evaded his eyesight | and the hoe, and it seems to sa: h, we can hide from you!" and it is not | difficult to imagine that it is laughing at you. In nature a common weed can mystify the wise and give rise to many inquiries. It is a wonder that the teachers of our language do mot learn “The press | is the foe of rhetoric, but the friend of | reason.” Many a sentence which re- | flected no credit for grammatical at- tainment upon the writer has had more force than a hundred sentences that did, as well as a more pronounced ef- fect than a thousand such. The rules for expression are necessary, but the pedantic are said to. be well-versed in books and shallow in themselves. Language was invented to express ideas, but it is quite as often used to a necessary part of life, and Wendeil Philling declared “ e confuse or conceal them. Education is ‘tha ‘When one is disinclined . to as-, sume a just attitude in regard to one matter or another, one usually and conveniently pleads unfamili- arity with the subject matter in- volved in order to' escape the duty of passing judgment and to dodge commitment, writes Catherine Bresh- kovsky. It is an open secret that Russia is a heap of ruins and has ‘been writhing in pain for “almost two years. It is equally well known to all that Russia's horrible condition is distinctly traceable to the very first acts of the rule of Lennie and Trotsky, who came to Russia di- rectly assisted by the German gov- ernment and under its sponsorship jaunched a campaign against the rev- olutidy in March, 1917. The Brest-Litovsk treaty surrerg- ered the coptrol of Russia's' internal and foreign affairs entirely iinto the hands of the Kaiser's ambassador, Count von Mirbach, who' from~ Mos- cow ruled over the destinies of the betrayed and deceived Russian peo- ple. This wily German had, first of all, ordered the disarming of all“the soldiers who had returned from the front and the arming of all German and Magyar prisoners and the mer- cenary Letts. The leaders of - the Bolsheviki promptly complied . with this commarnd. ~ Simultaneously all the large munition and powder fac- tories were blown up one after another: in Petrograd, Moscow, Ka- tuga, Kiev, Kazan and in other cities in the east and south of Russia. The guns and airplanes that were not sequestered by the Germans were transferred to Moscow. = When, during the summer of 1918 uprisings_ against the violent acts of the Bolsheviki broke out throughout Russia, it became _evi- dent that the Czecho-Slovaks were the only ones who had retained their arms. These soldiers, prompted by a keener appreciation and greater experience in international affairs, had flatly refused to surrender their arms in spite of the very strenuous demands and threats directed at them by the “war minister” Trotsky and his Red Guards. This sagacity spelled their own salvation and like- wise laid the foundation for . the revolutionary army which is . at present waging battle for the free- dom of the Russian people. There is little doubt that this young army, wholly Russtan in .its make-up, would have triumphed.over the hired bands of Trotzky long ago,. if it were confronted by these mercenaries only, and would have given Russia back the freedom and happiness won by her in the great revolution of Mareh, 1917. The real situation however, is al- together different. ~ Against Russia there is still arrayed Germany—her bolshevist and ~monarchist wings— and, in company with. Lenine, these two German groups are strenuous- ly endeavoring to crush Russia to earth. Today, ‘the Russian army of liberation is fighting = fresh German forces splendidly equipped and led by experienced officers. Germany, in vi- olation of the twofold peace (one of Brest-Litovsk and the other result- ing from the armistice), has not de- sisted from ravaging an obstinate war against Russia by supplying Lenine and Trotzky with arms afficers and higher leadership. Germany still hopes to realize her eternal dream of converting Russia into German colony for territorial and economic _aggrandizement, _\Before the eyes of the whole world Germany continues to violate her obligations. and taking advantage of Russia’s exhaustion, in company with the be- trayers of our country, sneers at ail laws defining .international relations. Confident of immunity, Germany, by her complicity in the bolshevist deeds of violence and destruction, is be- fore the very eves of our allies con- verting our beautiful and rich land— with its enormous population war- weary and distracted by the coun- ter revolution of the bolsheviki—into the incubator of moral and physical dissolution which is spreading = in- fection all over the world. For four vears Germany - infested the whole world with the virus of a cruel, barbarous war, and she is still continuing this war in Russia, which has not as yet recovered from the effects of the world war and is in the clutches of a fierce civli strug- gle. Both junker and boshevist Germany still cherish the - hope of building Germany's future prosper- ity through the domination of Rus- sia, and after reestablishing its domination over the Slav peoples, to threaten again the peace and .inde- pendence of all Europe. This is -as clear as daylight, and is perfectly comprehensible on the part of a na- tion nurtured in dream of world domin We, ian, and all other Slav peoples, will always combat the sub- the world is that got in the struggle to get a living.” and the poorest educa- tion which teaches self control is bet- ter than the best education which neglects it. -jugators, and enslavers of our mna- tion, no matter who they are. We smashed our domestic fetters and freed ourselves after centuries of Vi- olence and despotism, and Wwe ~will certainly not tolerate any mew at- tempts to rob us of our freedom and independence. Russia, as a state, vi- olates no right nor the. integrity® of any other nation. She is only seek- ing her own independence, peace and the opportunity for unhampered cre- ativeness, and will not consent to be- come a playthig in any hands. = Rus- sia is conscious of the fact that she has made sufficiently great sacrifices| for the regeneration of the ~world. Now she justly demands from this world consideration of her immensely difficult present situation, and she demands it alike from her allies and | from all those who have the interest of mankind close at heart. Germany, in formal union with Le- nine and Trotzky, is tearing apart the body of Russia, is gnawing away at her heart and is sucking her life blood. According to the latest infor- mation from Russia, Germany has turned over to Trotzky 1,500,000 rifies and a great quantity of ammu- nition, has equipped the Red Army with officers and given it a German staff. Numbers of Germans are fight- ing in the ranks of the bolsheviki against the Russian _revolutionary army, and these are indeed, the main obstacies to the offensive movement of our forces. Such a statq of [ fairs is fraught with danger for Rus- sia, and is no less menacing for all those who look with callous indif- ference upon the growt! and the strengthening of the union between the Russian bolsheviki and the Ger man chauvinists. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Poor Showing for Consolidation, Mr. Editor: In Mr. Bishop's letter in this morning’s Bulletin he takes issue with the statements made by the un- dersigned, but assertions without facts are far from convincing, and “I am from Missouri.” I am still satisfied, and I believe the mass of the people in this city are, that the present method of conducting our school system is far more expen- sive than the old system. Mr. Bishop is correct when he states that the town contributed a certain amount of money in addition to what was col- lected in the different districts under a-sehool tax, but both of these com- bined would not reach any such taxa-| tion as we are confronted with under| the present system. In that respect there has heen no additional light given upon the subject. We were all aware, at least those of us who have taken any interest in the matter, that the town has always contributed to the common school fund and with those admissions and thorough under- standing of Mr. Bishep's remarks I fail to see where there has been any fack of true facts in the undersigned's letter, but as Mr. Bishop has attempt- ed an explanation, and. to me it is not at all in the way of convincing me that my idea is wrong, 1 would |also suggest now that he explain how the plumbing contracts and the plumbing work in the various schools is taken care of at the present time, and will he also explain to the pub- lic if this is a similar line in which economy exists and is practiced. And after he has explained, I will ask any plumber in the city of Norwich to an- swer his_explanation. T would like to state also that his statement regarding the teachers® in- crease in salary from 50 to 100 per cent. is correct, but I would like to ask him if he believes that under the district system any body of teachers with the assistance of their friends would walk into a school meeting af- | ter having packed the meeting for the | purpose 0f increasing their salary and make a demand such as was done in this instance. I believe their salaries should have been raised: in fact, I was one who voted for it, but no such raise as this should have been asked at one time. Now if the new s: em has been the cause of these economies, excuse me from the new system. The old idea is good enough for me. \ iTex. Norwich, June 27, 1919.
