AS KERENSKY SEES RUSSIA Former Leader Looks For Satisfactory Outcome. OUTSIDE SHOULD QUIT INTLRFEERING The People Are Not in Symapthy With Lenine's Ideas; But They Recognize the Existing Government as Representative cf Russian Sovereignty. Homely but facinating is Alexander Kerenskv. erstwhile Russian leader, as Vicente Blasco Ibnnoz, the Spanish novelist, picturesquely but with characteristic good nature, portrays him. Slender, exotic, interesting, and of an original ugliness?"ugly as only Russians are ugly"?thus the Russian looked to Ibanez when the Spanish novelist took a walk with the ex-Russian premier about the streets of Paris recently, and the premier told the novelist what he thought about Bolshevism. Ibanez says he first met Kerenskv in 1917, when he sought out the Russian because he was eager to see a man who could make a speech twelve hours long and get away with it. Now, on closer acquaintance. Ibanez opines that Kerensky could make a speech even twenty-four hours long and not be affected in the least. The Russian has a mouth like a codfish, we are told, and when he perks up his lips to speak the result is a cross between a megaphone and the horn of a trombone. He will sit or walk for long periods without saying a word, his yellow-green eyes half closed. "Then suddenly something takes place inside him. An enthusiasm begins to stir deep in his spiritual organism." His face is transfigured, we read, his forehead seems to grow higher and broader, all the bril uanty or trie ymuw in ma i-vtn ? vealed, ami he begins to speak. His voice booms out "strident, resonant, metallic, Vibrant as a bell," and passers-by pause and look around to see what's happening. When he converses in a closed room the walls seem to shake, and one wonders whether the people up-stairs ' will not be calling the police," while "out in the Hois de Boulogne he always seems to start a 1 breeze." It was this wonderful voice that kept a million soldiers at the front in 1917, we are assured, and Ibanez adds: "You can listen to it by the hour without getting tired of it." The former leader has kept close track of the tread of events in his native j country, and lie expressed himself j freely to Mr. Ibanez regarding both j the past and the probable future of j Russia. Kerensky's opinion is that no I military man will ever put an end to j' Bolshevism. Wrangel will go the way | of Kolehak. Yiuleniteh. nml Denikin, I he thinks. In his own words, "Leninc will never he overthrown till he is left face to face with the Russian people, without intervention of any kind from the outside." He deplored the interference of the Allies in Russian affairs, especially the blockade. This outside interference, and the attempts made )>y anti-Bolshevik leaders to start counter-revolutions, have served, in Kerensky's opinion, to keep the Russians from giving attention to their own internal condition. If Russia were opened wide to intercourse with the rest of tlie world everybody would bet a "close-up" of Renine's paradise, thinks Kerensky, and then it would be all off with Bolshevism. The account of Mr. Ibanez's interview with the Russian appears in the Now York World, and contains, among other things, the story of Kerensky's downfall as related by himself: You see, I had two formidable enemies to light: the C'/.n lists and the j "Rod" extremists. Our new Hussion Republic had been organized democratically by ihe Constituent Assembly. Our own government was Socialistic. but of the so-called reformist type, recognizing the value of the individual and of human liberty, repudiating the 'class struggle," and trying to remedy injustice by progressive experimental reforms and not by unrealizable I'topias. You known what happened. Incredible as it may seem, the Allies refused to support me. They sided with the Czarists, and the result was Korniloff's uprising. Of course, it was easy to put that movement down, but the immediate consequence of it was thai the soldiers lost what little rosy. r< for their officers they still had left. They thought, the military leaders were hostile to the revolution. Tla Kntente, by harassing me in this wsiv. , cleared a level path for the triumph ! of Bolshevism. Mr. Kerensky expressed the opin- ! ion that the Russians' apparent udhe- ' sicn to Bolshevism is not due to lln-ir j love for I.onine and his works so much J as to their fear that tlie monarchy may j he restored. In the hatred the Rus- : sian people felt for the old regime lies the secret of the stability of the \ ' Red" rule in Russia, he said. This , also explains, according to Korensky, | the troubles of the generals who start ; counter-revolutions. The people >: < ; always afraid such moves may bring i the Czar haek and restore the land to ' the nohles, and so they are ready to J oppose it tooth and nail, for, little as ! they like Communism, tliey feel that j it is paradise when compared with | Czarisin. As to the policy the rest of | i the world ought to adopt with n-ference to Itnssia, Kerensky believes it should he just the opposite of the! course thus far pursued. Quoting J ' further: The frontiers should he opened, and j then the populace would see that the j famine in Uu^sia is not due to foreign i oppression only hut to the Communist j organization of society, which has ! ' paralyzed labor. production, and ex- ; i .Uhd.tllie.._and__ tunp'd the country into | chaos. | That, furthermore, would help to | clarify certain mis~pprehensions in the working classes of the rest of the world. Labor everywhere, would pet a close-up view of what Lonine's paradise is really like. And out extremists would be sadly disappointed. Workers from England and Germany have been through Russia recently. The impressions that the Germans got are especially valuable, because they understand Russia better in Germany than elsewhere. Well, they all came hack indignantly protesting against Communist tyranny as something a thousand times worse than slavery under capitalism. In front of a closed door anybody can paint a glowing picture of the beauties hidden inside. Open the door and people see for themselves. The best antiTtolshevik propaganda the nations of the west can make is tn introduce their people as soon as possible to actual conditions in Russia. I stick to my point. Instead of sending men and supplies to hack up some reactionary adventurer in an attempt to restore Czarism, the Allied nations ought to send free excursions of intelligent workingmen to Russia to see exactly what the country is doing under Communism. When outside intervention ceases. Bolshevism will collapse, thinks Kerensky. Lenine would like the Russian isolation to last a long time., for it gives him an excuse fur all the troubles it would be hard to explain if there were no invaders or hlockaders around. Kerensky commended the attitude of the United States?refusal of recognition of the Soviets, hut careful abstention from any direct action against them. Further: When Russia don t have to resist a Polish invasion or a "White" raid in thg interests of reaction, they will cease rallying to the Moscow government. which taken at its worst, is still the representative of Russian independence and the defender of Russian territory. Then it will become apparent how few friends Lenine really has. The whole country will he ready to restore the democratic republic voted by the ponstituent Assembly in 1917. In short, let the rest ol' Europe get nut and keep out of Russia, and then let the blockade be raised and give the country a chance to get in contact again with the rest of the civilized world. Then all of lis people who have been forced to inaction can take up our work again, and start the decisive battle against Communism. While the present situation lasts that is impossible. Eeninc knows that better than anybody else. He has the people of the town tied to his regime bv their stomachs. He is the only one who can feed them at present. He feeds them badly, but, after all, he feeds Ihem. The problem that confronts every Russian is how to get even a plate of Insipid soup to eat. friends of mine in Russia write me: "You ask us why we don't start something. The fact is we are too busy keeping body and soul together to think of rcvoiu lion. Weeks fro by without our potting I :in.v food that is really nourishing." ! This for the inhabitants of towns ami cities. Then there are the people in the country, nine-tenths of the whole population. The Russian peasant has enough to eat. He is the only one who is getting enough to eat. He has gone back perforce to the simple life that Tolstoy proahced is the ideal one. lie is doing without all the prod nets of modern industry.

SAYS LIFE IS WHAT A MAN WANTS Rube HeJfon Has Opinions of His Own and is Tolerant of the Opinions of the Other Fellow?Thinks a Man Like a Horse, Would Founder Himeelf if Allowed all He Wants. Frederick J. Liosmnn in the St. Louis PostDispnlch. Kube Helton, who lives two punctures and a blowout on the other side 1 of Santee school house, asserts that life is not at all what we make it, ?r mia Ua,1 .nn?, Infliionno whnf_ >vc iicin ?m,> 11111 ucin?c ?*i?c? vsoever on the making of life we would ' make it last longer. Rube insists that life is a non-refillahle pocket with a hole in it and that death obviously is an unavoidable tragedy like the polltax or a Republican landslide. ! "IJfe is entirely a matter o' what a ' man wants." savs Rube, the sage of Maries County. "They's ist two things : a man ever hollers about?his win- ! nin's and his losin's; and they's ist 1 two things a man' can lose?something ' he's got, something he wants. By usin* ' a little hoss sense regardin' what he ' wants a man can knock off half of his 1 losin's-. Take care o' your wants and : your winnin's take cave o' themselves.

' Justice and Verdicts. It should he noted that the official Ozark language recognizes the word "just" only as an obsolete root word. ^ Its modern derivatives, thus, "thust," "jest," "jist", "thist" and "ist" not only cover the musical scale but also cover many shades of meaning. The word "thust," as used by Mr. Helton, con- | ( veys a sense of the abstract, as, merely or simply. As a jumping off place , it performs somewhat the same service as the English word, however. The official Ozark language produces more derivatives than any k'nown substance excepting coal tar. "Lorciv, man," says he a bit plaintively, "I never loaded nor fired a gun nor had a law suit in my life. I never ( had to shoot a man nor knock him on the head to git the best of him.
