ment of heats and humidities, andthe cause of cyclones, we should re-

flect that the unstable air is like thespinning top. The mnses of the at-nosphere are the most fluid of Na-ture's legions. The axles of Boreasand his fellow chauffeurs turn uponthe ball-bearings of nothing. Thedetermining factors of the weatherire so variant and minute that themind that can judge them accuratelymui be as infinite in infinitesimalsas that mind must be gigantic whichcan grasp the cyclopean antics of theIt'rs.

History is-erowded with instanceswhen favorites of fortune toppled.So that sometimes we are tempted

to call Lincoln fortunate, who was

killed at fame's peychologic moment.And we think that Elijah made a

lucky escape when he went up in achariot of fire, and wise Moses wasnever wiser than 'when he disap-peared.A green and comfortable ,old age

The Marchof Events

T Russian Soviet governmenthass regitered with the Somse-tariat o the League o, Na-

tions the agremmant made with theAmerican Belief Commission. Byformally socepting and registeringthis document, the League of Na-tious resognizes the All-RussianSoviet ad the government of thatcountry.Btesis is bankrupt and hungry

now. But, as Uoyd George said, no

real statesman would think of leav-ing the vast potential power of Rus-sia odt of future calculations. Wehave repeatedly said that the Sovietgovernment should be recognised forreasons of world politics and thegeneral welfare of all nations. It isfar better that Russia should havean international standing, even undera bad government, than dto standingat all. We never hesitated to recog-nize the atrocious and treacherousgovernment which the Russian revo-

lution destroyed. And no matterhow bad the Soviet government maybe, it certainly is no worse for theworld-at large than the Romanoffdespotism.

Fortunately famine and pestilenceseem about to win for Russia whatneither diplomacy nor arms couldwin-readmission to the Family ofStates.

rE President vigorously and ef-fetively put down the lawless-ness of the West Virginia coal

miners. There was nothing else to dothen. But there is something elseto be done now..We hope it will bedone.We hope that the President will

as vigorously and effectively putdown the lawlessness of the WestVirginia mine owners.

These men are just as lawless as

the men who marched against theirmine properties.They are organized to underpay

their workers and to overcharge thepublic. Essentially and fundamen-tally they are a band of plunderers.They hire gunmen to shoot and

kill union laborers, exactly as someunion laborers employ guns againsttheir properties and non-unionworkers.They corrupt and control the ppli-

ties and the officials of the Stateand the counties, and release or im-prison whom they will, in utter dis-regard of justice and legal rights.Now that the Government has put

an end to the lawlessness of the ex-asperated mine workers it ought toput an end to the lawlesapeas ofthese mipe operators, who exasper-ate, underpay adenslave the work-ers and profiteer upon the publicthrough their plundering organisa-tioni.The Government has sauced the

goose. Now let it sauce the gander.

THM fundamental cause of poorbusiness is lack of money andconfidence. The country is just

as full of raw materials, plants,transportation lines, fertile farms,workers and consumers as it waswhen everything was booming alonga year agg. ,

But money is scage.What's the use of having an auto-

mobile and no gasoline or lubricant?Money is the gas that makes the

business machine go. When the gov-ernors of the Federal Reserve setabout reducing the volume of cur-rency in order -to make the dollarworth more by ming it scarcer,they played havoo with productionand consumption and ttaede by doingIt too idrastioally.-We would be back to good timesin a very little while if reasonable

"The Jewish Min"HE stupidity that shows itself in anti4- k prejudles

show itel of i& wel-meaning, entirely pro.vincial, ignorat~m

For instance, you read in a little weekly, et worth ma.tioning, an article, "The Jewisk Mindin Thse States.", The writer of the artiele is an earnst, baest, sincere,well-meaning man. It is not his ft thateribe semandcriticises Jews as a leghorn hen mlbt descib a tew en-

gine. You couldn't expect a leghorn hen to have much sy.pathy for a stem engine, and, of oeurse, the stam engi,wouldn't pay much attention to the leghorn hen if It eesecackling in its white feathers.The trouble with us humans is that we have traveled

different paths and are still too far apart to understandeah other.

-aWhat one unimportant individual says -bout ews andthe *Jewish Mind in These States' is not important to-Jews, but it is important to intelligent Otiles, who knowthat bigotry, especially ignorant, well-meaning bigotry, isdangerous.The writer mentioned seleets for his victim a woman,

Mrs. Bose Pastor Stokes. And he quotes her thus: "Muchas I love the Stars and Stripes, I love the red flag better."Picking out one thing that one particular Russian Jewess

may or may not have said, the writer condemns hundredsof thousands of the most useful, hard-working, liberty-loving inhabitants of this country."Much as I love the Stars and Stripes, I love the red flasA

better." That is a poor, silly saying, onareely excuseIby the fact that its author has seen the misery of life andperhaps been mentally upset by it.But how does it compare with another saying that, as that

writer well knows, is in the minds of many of the richestAmericans, including some for whombhe has written for pay?He knows that many enormously rich Gentiles, if their

thoughts could be read, would be found thinking: "Muchas I love the Stars and Stripes, I love the dollar signbetter."Some of the most powerful men in this country, hiring the

ablest lawyers in this country, attack and break year afteryear the laws of the United States, which are the laws ofthe Stars and Stripes. They do this, because, much asthey love the Stars and Stripes, they love the dollar signbetter.

A man of education should not condemn a religion, a

people that have persistently opposed tyranny, that havesuffered and died for their belief as no other has done.For a man to pick out one isolated saying of one RussianJewess and on that condemn thousands of those who con-tribute to the very prosperity that he enjoys is unworthyand ungrateful -

Of course, the Jewish mind is "different from otherminds." The mind of Spinosa, philosopher, is differentfrom others. So is that of Heine.Do not underestimate thgat Jewish mind: He who diedon Calvary had a Jewish mother.The Jews in the Russian ghetto developed and kqpt alive

the spirit of revolution that overthrew the Russian Carand hbis grand dukes.Be fair to the Jews. They are a great power, never

stopping. .fTake a walk on Fifth avenue below Twenty-eighth street

at the noon hour. Listen to their talking and planning ata time when others rest or play cards or "loaf." You willAnd there many samples of the diferent "Jewish mind,"and ypu will And power, energy unlimited, and thatCOUNTS

Indians Give ExampleHE Passamaquoddy Indians, of Princeton, Maine, claimthat the Stat of Maine has-teated them with badfaith. Thaey assert that a grant of lagsd by Massa-

chusetts, before Maine separated from Massachusetts, hasnot been honored by Maine and has been distributed amongwhite settlers for ridiculous prices.They propose to employ counsel to sue in a white man 's

ooprt of justice. We hope that they will obtain justice inthe white man's court.The Indian chief has called a great powwow of his tribe

to consider ways and means of maintaining their rights.All the tribe will assemble, squawsincluded, and they willdiscuss the issues and decide the policies in open meetings,practicing what the once great chief of the white Amerioanspreached, but did not praetice--"open covenants openlyarrived at."Under our laws we deal with the Indians as we deal with

aliens--by treaty. We are about to deal with other alienson the question pf disarmament. Alien whites from acrossthe groat waters are to gather here in Washinigton in agreat white powwow to find ways and means by treaty toeffect a disarmament of the world.There is strange and disturbing evidence of a considerable

demand for secret discussions. Our disaster at Versaillesand the fall of a great man from the loftiest pinnacle offame has not been enough to- satisfy certain classes ofAmericans that we ought to have "open covenants openlyarrived at."The erdise which the advocates of secret discussions no0s

make is that if we insis'ted upon open conferences we mightoffend, the representat~ives- of the other nations who areaccustomed to secret conferences. If that is the case wehad better not have any conferences at all, for nothing~good will come of a secret conference.We must all stand behind Senator Borah and his assdl

ates. who are demandi=g an ape. aermee.
