RUSSIAN SOUL
KAII.HOAD INVESTIGATING
The public has confidently hoped
for a settlement of the railroad
question that would make everyone
happy and contented First came
the assurance that Congress would
put taeth Inot tho !kw creating the
wage board and that there wouldn't
be quarrelsome debates thereafter.
Hardly had the news grown cold
vflnB the statisticians of the mil
worker' unions came forth with
broadside after broadside of data
charging tho railroads with every-
thing tn tho calendar from extrava-
ganco and plotting to executlvo mis-
management. Now wo are confronted with real
warfare with verbal heavy artillery
massed op both sides and tho fray
ust starting
When will it md?
Tho public Is getting very very
weary of it all; it wants a rost.
Let here be defnlito action taken
and promptly.
The Senat has ordered a general
Investigation of tho railroad sltua-
toln. This means. If thla lnvostgla-
tlou f'ltowH the course of others In
the upper legislative body a long-
drawn-out deliberation with witness
es summoned and papers read and
bulky documents flted in the record.
We can hardly expect any quick re-
sults unless President Harding seizes
what surely appeals to him as a
golden opportunity and point out a
definite courso and douiand first
no cessation of work by strikes;
second no reduction of wages un
til tho urotHirlr constituted Inltor
tmard approves it; third n compul
son' arbitration act that will give ex-
isting ng-ncleH the nuthorlly to tn
force their rulings.

GLORIOUS SAX JACINTO
Long after tho present generation
is gone tho pooplo of Texas will not
neglect tho celebration of San Ja-
cinto day tho SSth anniversary of
which is .being colebratod today. It
Is a Texas day tho Uunker Hill of
the Lono Star state and every Tex-
an glortos in the jomory of what It
means.
'mnnl nfier the river near which
It was fought tho Battlo of San Jn-
clnto fought on April 21 1S36. runs
thus :
Sam Houston was elected com-
mander In chief of the Texas army
i.v a rnnvuntlon at Washington on
tho nrazos on March G 183C. He
was then a member of tho conven-
tion but left It the .mvU day and
hastened to (the relief of Goneral
Travis in the campaign against the
Mexicans. On March 15 he heard
of tht fall of tho Alamo and the de-
atruclton of its garrison and stopped
at Gonzales where ho organized
such forces as ho could collect.
Houston took steps to aid the fle-
lng settlors and on April 5 learned
of tho massacre at Goliad. He also
reached San Fellpo on that day and
from there marched up tho Brazos
and encamped nearly two weeks In
the bottom. On April 13 he crossed
tho Brazosand continued his march
reaching Harrlsburg on April IS.
Gontg down Buffalo Bayou one wing
of his army encountered tho Mexi-
cans but wtthdrew and encamped
for tho night. On tho 21st. in com-
mand of 7SJ men ho attacked Santa
Anna's forces his army rushing
Into the fray with tho battle cry
"Itomembor the Alamo! Kemember
Goliad." After 18 minutes of stout
resistance by the Mexicans they
were torown Into confusion and
panic ond tho slaughter began. Tho
result was tho killing of 630 Mexi-
cans wounding 203 and capturing
730 prisoners among whom was
Santa Anna.
CIIVK REAL SUPPORT
Political busings and other or-
ganlzatlons fall Into unpopularity
and lose thdr usefulness In Just tho
proportion that pubilc participation
in their meetings falls oft.
Tho public must attend primaries
and moetlng"- ud look after its own
business therein or' things will go
wrong or not bo done at all.
It Is the stimulus (ho enthusiasm
made by a crowd as well as the use
ful discussion the work-together
spirit that Is created wben numbevs
gather to attend to matters of com
mop Interest that puts things over
and makes for the big success.
President Johnson of the Cham-
ber of Commerce Is very right In

PARIS April 21 The Untied
States by taking the tend among the
great world powers ran save Russia
from utter ruin. But she cannot do
It by nttncklng the soviet system or by
supporting counter revolutionary arm
ies attempting to unset Lenin nnd
Trotsky by force.
This declaration was made In an In
terview today by General Icnatleff.
! Russian n&fUary attache to France
during the war nnd the one outstand
ing figure In the group of Russians
who remained In Paris after tho Lenin
reolutlon. Tgnntleff. though a former
Czarlst officer has steadfastly opposed
nil schemes to overthrow the present
Moscow government by military force
lie lias refused to hand over to the
Kolchak Donlkcn nnd Wrangcl armies
any part of tho funds entrusted to his
care for buying war materials In
France or to take any part In the de-
liberations of exiled Uusslan nobles
though he himself Is n member of the
Russian nobility.
Sovleti-ni Immovable.
"Sovletism Is anchored in the soul of
Russia" stated General Ignatleff.
"When Americans and Frenchmen and
Englishmen come to understand that
they will understand what folly It Is
to try to bent Lenin nnd Trotsky from
outside.
"Foreigners confuse Soviets wltli
P.ols vvlsm. Communism nnd even free
love nnd mnke them a target of one
shaft of reprobation. They think that
the lest way of bringing down the
Moscow government Is to support these
etimouilnges of "counter-revolutions
which only exasperate the Russian
people. Jealous of the liberty they won
nt such a cost.
I'ltniiloni of CmiuminiMii.
"Soviet In Russian moans council.
The first revolutionary Soviets wero lo-
cal representatives of different profes-
sions. Sovletism Is nothing but the
same professional representation
adopted ly republican goernments ev-
erywhere. Communtsm originated In
Russia ns the result of the profound
Smi.-ery of the people and liecntiso of
(foreign persecution.
"If foreign governments want to
save Russia let them fetop persecut-
ing her. Let them give to Russia the
menus of production utul the phantom
of communism will disappear itself.
Amoricu perhaps aided by France-
(done could provide these means aud
assure the economic revival of Rus
sia.
"The question of individuals counts
for nothing. Leulu and Zinovieff
know very well that they are not go
ing to revolutionize old Europe or the
young United Slates. They do not Ig-
nore tho fact thnt for the Russian pt-o-
ple the one vital question Is tin agri
cultural question. Thoy know perfect
ly well that coinmtmUm will not solve
that. Sooner or later they must seek
a compromise. The Russian peasant
waiiiy the land which he cultivates
witli tho right to dispose of It as ho
pleases to sell it or to leave It to his
heirs. It Is Impossible to react apilnst
this profound Instinct of the race.
Agrarian Problem Uppermost
"In my mind tho return of the Rus-
sian lauds now nationalized to the
peasant would solve the agrarian
problem In Its entirety not only polit
ically but economically. The United
States and Franco could as 1st in this
process of revival aud perhaps France
could obtain pledges In land for the
iwyment of the debt owed her by the
old Kiwsluu govcrumeuc and In that
wey tho poueo of Europe would be
nearly restored.
"Russia has failed financially. That
Is quite clour. But sho remains an ex
cellent business proposition mie re-
newul of economic relations between
London Berlin and Moscow though it
Indicates n doadro on tho part of Eng-
land and Germany not to lose tho Rus
sian market really means nothing.
Russia has no way of paying for pro-
duets from those two countries. The
only solution Is to find a way of open
ing conversations with the Soviets and
it bhould bo tho business of tho United
States uul of other countries to step
forward with concroto propositions."
