CORDOVA, ALASKA, MUNDAL, NOVEMBER 26, 1017.
RUSSIAN UNREST. .
When the Russian revolu
tion begem with the deposition
of the czar, a loud hurrah went
up over the world. Many be
lieved that Russia at one stroke
had achieved freedom and was
in a position to fight for the
allies as she had not fought bo
f ore.
Events of the past few
months have brought out the
truth. The Russian revolution,
like most revolutions, may he
ended in five years, maybe in
ten years, maybe in twenty-five
years. Russia is plainly stil
/far from stable, democratic
government.
The man who accepts a res
ponsible position in the Rus
sian government today is more
likely to bo clipped off shorl
niche in the hall of fame
behind the ears than reach i
niche in the hall of fame
About the healthiest thing t<
do in Russia now is to keep ii
the background. People in rev
olution always are strangely
forgetful!, and the idol of tin
minute becomes the publii
sacrifice of the next week.
The trials of Russia mu
strangely like the afflictions o

This time, according to press
reports, it was rain that threw
the blood hounds off the scent
of three escaped convicts from
the Oregon penitentiary. Des
pite the stories of treed con

there are few instances from
the time tin* dogs chased FJiza
across the ice down to the pres
ent when something did not
come up to throw the intelli
gent animal sleuths off theii
trail.

Business, on the whole, has
opposed this view; therefore
has fought regulation through
commissions or otherw ise. Bus
iness now sees the wisdom of
concerted action and its big
gest men—the "very ones who
formerly wrere antagonistic
are lending themselves to the
work of making monopoly
regulation possible.

Government and Business.
Never before was there such
■ a getting logether of business
: men in a co-operative way. Be
| fore tin* war the government
i always disapproved any at
] tempt of large corporations to
| enter into agreement with
| competitors regarding the reg
ulating of trade for their com
mon benefit. What the govern
ment heretofore lias prohibit
ed, however, it is now doing for
| the lmsiness'WoHd. The coun
j try is now getting the benefits
of co-operation in the right
way. • After*the war, it is to l>e
hoped that this co-operation
among competitors will contin
ue and that tin* now forsaken
habit of government prosecu
tion will he entirely forgotten.
It is desirable that co-opera
. tivo agreements among com
petitors should be approved by
. the government, but the opiu
i ion prevails among many stu
i dents of business conditions
- 1 ions that tin* business prob
■ lems which will confront the
“ nation after the war cannot he
; solved satisfactorily unless the
present pooling of common in
I terests by competitors under
f approval of the government is
. continued.
) ReauiJUiP-on. Lv bn'imt..
. _Jl>s in the present co-oper
ative plan—is the basic princi
' pie upon which it is founded.
It may be discovered before
- the war is ended that if the
1 government has the power and
1 the ability properly to regulate
. production and price during
period of stress, it also should
‘ .possess similar qualifications
during periods of peace.

THESE BOOTS CANT
SPRING A LEAK
qpHEY’RE “HIPRESS”
Boots, made all in one piece
—soles and uppers—without a
seam to work loose. That’s one
reason why they’re so different from
the ordinary boot, the sole and
upper of which are stuck together
by hand.
“HIPRESS” Boots arc made out of
such tough stock—actually the same that
goes into Goodrich Tires — that they
outwear any other hoot made. And
they’re the foot-easiest boot you ever
wore. 40,000 dealers.
