EPORTS of what is geing on in Petrograd must be discouraging indeed to those who have clung to the hope that Russia might still be a help to the Allies. Kerenski deposed, the Bolsheviki in control, with the pro-German Lenine calling for immediate peace and division of the land among the peasants! Fine promise for unity and continued fighting! If there were to be any popular parcelling out of Russian lands! could Russian soldiers be counted on to stay at the front and take their chance of being remembered in the allotments? Not if they} may be judged by their past conduct. Weeks ago The World’s correspondent, Arno Dosch-Fleurot, sized ap the situation in Russja: There is no democracy—yet. And thero| cannot be while the Russian who “buttons his collar on the side of his neck”—the workman and the proletariat—is feverishly determined to have, not equal, but greater power than the Russian who buttons his collar any other way. Nor is the Russian situation historically unique. A revolution may have started out with principles, restraint and high purpose, But fas it worked down through the social mass there have but too often een terrible reactions before it steadied itself on any final founda- tion. So it was in France. Xt is folly for the Allies, including the United States, to reckon on further help from Russia, It would be dangerous not to be fully red even for a sudden and separate Russian peace with the Central Powers. Idealism must face the fact: There is, for the time being, no Rus- sian nation. There is no Russian democracy. There is only revolution and experiment, through which a people shaken into its component social parts must painfully work out its permanently higher adjust- ments. To Russia in such a state aid can obviously be extended only with discriminating judgment and caution. This country, least of all, should let its generous desire to help democracy in Russia lead to the strengthening of factions whose increased power can but prolong and complicate internal conflict. SE WELL COUNSELLED. HATBEVER Tammany’s ultimate plans may be, it has been exceedingly well advised by some one as to the manner in which to make the’ first public expressions of its attitude toward the greatest victory it has ever won in this city. “The enormous vote of the people bespoke such confidence in the Democratic Party that not to appreciate it and its r sponsibilities would be a mortal sin.” | The note of responsibility thus struck by Alfred E. Smith, Tam many’s newly elected President of the Board of Aldermen, is carefully sustained by other leaders of Tammany Hall, including Secretary Thomas F, Smith, who expressly declares that Tammany will not even select or recommend a new Police Commissioner. “The Democratic Party,” protests Chairman Schneider of the Democratic Fusion Committee, “ought to be modest and recognize and feel the responsibility of the victory. The party is on trial again in New York.” He goes further: No organization ought to put forward a candidate for Police Commissioner, That is the Mayor's problem and he should be left free to handle it. In al! appointments unquestioned char- acter and qualifications should be the first consideration. Given these, then party workers and regular organization men should be recognized, But fitness and character must come first. sc | Anybody’s Bear! ‘*Ma’’ Sunday’s Intimate Talks WHERE IS GOD ON WEEK DAYS? me JBASE, where ma'am, ean God stays through the week?" Whether or not the Tiger's appetite has in truth been chastened wu +—there is a reminiscent pathos in Secretary Smith’s plea that “the i experience of the past twelve years proves that Tammany does not tonne need patronage to exist”—either the beast’s manners have improved or its cunning has deepened. The true explanation is undoubiedly in the fact that Tammany has to-day some of the best counsellors it has ever had. If these better elements within are strong enough to give a higher tone to its professions, maybe some of them will prove strong enough to exert a steadying influence on its projects Hits From § A word to the wise is sufficient—if he is paying for it at his end of the harp Wits Why do photographs of women air- pilots alwaya show them com- long distance telephone.—Chicago | peting for the record in the standing News. broad grin?—Pittsburgh Gazette. eee eee .
