It is quite true that a small, a very small minority is already en- gaged in this. That has always been so, but the trouble is that a minority cannot really think for a majority, even if the majority elects to be thought for 'by the minority. As it is, a large .percentage of the world is• thinking anarchically, on the broad basis that history has shown reformation to be impracticable, un- less preceded by a destructive wave sufficiently overwhelming. to render fundamental rebuilding a necessity; whilst opposed to this are those who would concentrate the force of na- tions on the destruction of the de- stroyers, rather thani checkmate them by means ,of a great reconstruction program. Now reconstruction on the Phoenix plan has never been successful ex- cept in the- solitary instance of the Phoenix. That mythological bird has, in other words. failed to acquaint its imitators with the secret of .the process. Quite a number of adventurers have discovered this in the past, and the latest of the dis- illusioned. .is apparently Nicholas Lenine. The Bolshevist Government in Russia, that is to say, has not merely put on all its brakes, it has reversed its engines. The Red Ter- ror is now excuseds a necessity of the hour: a little- wile ago anyone who denounced it, was denounced, in turn, as a slanderous reactionary. P. R.

PAL • The question, then, which arises, 1.80 and it has something more than a 6.68 2.07 mere speculative interest attached .to 7 12 2.20 it, is, will Lenine be able to main - 9 48 4.68 tain himself where Robespierre fail- ed? Certainly he is intellectually far more adaptable, and he is cumbered, in Trotzky,with w th no academicalrevo- lutionary like Saint -Just: indeed, so much greater is his influence than that of Trotsky, that he may almost - be said to be playing a lone band. Besides, he has one enormous advan- tage over the men of '93. It is this, that the Bolshevist leaders are, prac- tically without competitors in the great process of reconstruction, and they have taken advantage of this completely to change their polioy. Disraeli's famous simile of the Whigs and their clothes might be applied to theta with duplicated force and with . refined irony. As they walk about Moscow to -day they are arrayed in all the political, habiliments of the Mensheviki. They are yearning: to strain the once despised .peasant to their bosoms( whilst the bourgeois organizer finds the right hand of fel- lowship extended to him, with, a flat- tering lawtering salary grasped in its • palm: Strangest of all, here, in the Ultima Thule of Communism, they have re- vived firivate industrial enterprise. Here, then, is an economic., Daniel come to .judgment, and the ship- wrights of Clydebank and the miners of Pennsylvania, no less than Threadneedle Street and Wall Strdet, will do well to take notice of the portent. The difference between the French Revolution and the Revolu- tion in Russia is essentially this, that the one began and ended in politics, , whilst the other has developed . into economics. For Napoleon to estab- lish the First Empire was, for this reason, comparatively easy: in a way, he buttressed the movement for a return to law and order for which the nation was craving, after the horrors of the orgy of the guillo- tine. But, ' to -day, to return to the Tzardom would be to take away the land from .the peasants, and the fac- tories from the operatives; and a nation of peasants and operatives• will never listen to the wiles of a Koltchak, not even though he were a Napoleonic one. That is why the revolution of 1789 could be partially reversed; and that is why the revo- lution in Russia stands in spite and not by reason of the Red Terror. This does not justify the Red Ter- ror, it does not palliate one of the crimes of Lenine, but it does explain the failure of Judenitch and of Kolt- ahak, and the growing failure of Denikin. Now all of this contains a lesson which the Western world would be well advised to learn, and it is this, that the anarchist is only dangerous when you play into his hands. What was wrong with the policy of the Allies in Russia was simply that it was, calculated to produce the maxi- mum of irritation with the minimum of effect. They might have interven- ed in force and suppressed the Bol- aheviki, which would have been easy, though troublesome and very expen- sive, or they might have kept their hands off, and left the anti -Bolshe- vist elements towork out the prob- lem. As it was, they intervened in` insufficient strength to accomplish anything definite, but with a suffi- ciency of interference to consolidate the Bolshevist resistance. This would be bad enough ' if it stopped at the Russian frontier, bat indications are not lacking that the same chaotic thinking is being ap- plied to the solution of the economic problem elsewhere. If trouble is to be avoided governments must make up their minds to a definite economic policy, and not be content to drift from one panacea to another.' There- in lies the real danger of revolution- ary propaganda. But if the govern- ments, while insisting sternly on obedience to law, will adopt .broad measures of reform, the revolutionary will find himself entirely impotent. lesson of revolution. -Christian Ste• care Monitor.

The origin of the Arab race is a master of conjecture, but the Arabs .ire a unified political body with a P;;ng- of their own long, long before -rte Christian era, wrote Frederick Simpich an the National Geographic iagazine. Just now there are per - Laps 10,000,090 Arabs, and for con- venience of classification they are us- ually separated into two divisions -- "Al Bedoo," or "The Dwellers in. the Open Land" (commonly= called Be- douins), and "Al Hadr," or "Dwell- ers in Fixed Localities." The Bedouins, roaming with their herds all over Arabiaand even up Into Mesopotamia and Syria, are bet- s es known to American `missionaries, fficials and travellers than the Hadr class. They are nomads from neces- sity and not from choice, and, as the country comes under better rule, roads, trade, and irrigation will un- doubtedly reduce the number of Arabs forced to lead this wandering life. Although Bedouin and bandit are almost synonymous terms in some, parts of Arabia, this is hardly fair to the Bedouins when we consider the xray they have to live. When they hold up a Mecca caravan, for exam- ple, and exact a sutra in cash for "pro- tection," they look en this -merely as their rightful share of taxes, habitu- ally collected anditept by 'border of ' ficials. A reform of these desert man- ners and methods will most probably ensue as a result of the British -man- date over Arabia. Although nominally a Mohamme- dan, ithe average Bedouin is said to worry but little about' the Koran's rules or; whether his mode of living would please the prophet. The wild- er tribes even worship the sun, trees, rocks, :etc., or else have no religion at all, it is said. Marriage is early and easy and divorce simple and fre- quent. . About 80 per cent._ of all Arabs live in towns, villages, or other flied places of abode and belong to the "Hadr" class. In this group is found the aristocracy of Arabia. -Here are old, reputable families, with records of births, . deaths and marriages, rl cods and honors, running back through generations. Perhaps the most noted family in modern Arabia is the house of Kor- eysh, tracing its connections back to the prophet. The men of this family bear the title of Shereef or Seyd; and it was' the Shereef of -Mecca who led Arabia's break for statehood. Education, however, as we regard it in America, is almost unknown among Arabians. The few with cul are are a class to themselves. Most learning is confined to the classics of religious and secular literature; the Koran is learned by rote. In the :mailer- towns there are no schools at all. Yet it was Arab learning and skill, in the long ago, which started the ivilized world on the way to its pres- et high efficiency. Under the Ca - 'tells, schools of therapeutics were .,et up at Bagdad, and botany was ndied as a branch of medicine. As -tee writer says, "the principal mer- , Burial and arsenical preparations of :he materia medica, the sulphates of .;everal metals, the properties of :cies and alkalis, and the distillation .f alcohol were, with ;their practical pplication, known to Er-Razi and 1;'ber, professors of Bagdad.

Gannon, who died re- cently in Chicago, was a man who devoted the final years of his life to those persons who had ruffere'i re- verses -mental, physical or financial i -in life's struggle. and who had come to the conclusion that they were -for- ever handicapped. First, for the bus- iness men of Chicago, la'';r for flee department of Labor ,in Washington. Mr. Gannon established "handicap" bureaux, where he received in a mo human and practical fashion, thoge who had come to hair as a co'irt of last resort. Wonderful- "cures" were effected, he renewed their confidence iin themselves: gave them it new oiat- 1 look on life; and changed the venue . of many misdirected energies. Here are some of the :stored told • of his work, as related in Everbody's ' by William Atherton Du Puy: These Chicago einployers with a turn to uhilanthropy believed that the old man was not getting a square deal. They held 'that he had received much training for which someone else had paid, that he was more permanent than migratory youth, that he was likely to adhere to the lesson of ex- perience, .that Ire had •come to' the verge of despair for lack of a job and consequently would not fritter it away, that his work would- be his only interest, that his mind ,would not (wander to the life of after dark, that he would command respect, lend stability, radiate a spirit of loyalty to his job. They believed that there were points in favor of employing old men and that a great mistake was being made in rejecting them. Fur- thermore, there was a nation-wide tragedy being enacted of which the builders of yesterdays were the vic- tims. Something should be done a- bout it. Victor T. 3. Gannon was working for Mr. Thorne at Montgomery Ward & Compatsy, routing orders through the establishment, He was a human man with a smile who 'got along with people. He was put in charge of the bureau which looked after the old people aijd others who were handi- capped. There was a waiting-list of twenty-six hundred. Gannon talked to the ministers of Chicago about the handicaps and .got - them to preach sermons about them. He wrote let- ters to employers advancing all his points as to why the old folks should be given a chance. He furnished the newspapers many human -interest stories that got his idea across. He gradually brought employers in Chi- cago to a point where they would give old people a chance. And the elderly •made good. Chicago is now converted. The demand for employees whose youth is gone is greater than the -supply. There was Joseph T. James( for in- stance, who is by way of being a star performer. James had been a book- keeper ookkeeper for twenty-five years for the same firm, Then there was a change of management and a -new bookkeeper. James was out of a job through no fault of his own... He was out of work for seven months, was fifty-nine years old, was afflicted; with that terrible malady of his kind, timid heart. Elderly folk who have spent, their lives in one 'groove nearly always suffer from timid heart. His money was all gone, friends .had been sup- porting him, he had come to the haven for old Hien. But James was a good bookkeeper. He was given an assignment at Gary, Indiana, of installing an accounting systefrl. It was considered a six - weeks job, but James had completed it in three. The prejudice against age was overcome with an employer who' offered one ,hundred and fifty a month for a man to instal accounting systems in at chain of garages. So good was James' work and so valuable his directing advice that he was made assistant to the president of the chain at a salary of .six thousand dollars a year. That was in January, 1918. A year later he had an interest in the company and was drawing a sal- ary of seventy-five hundred a year. Maggie Doran was a scrubwoman: in one of the tall office -buildings of Chicago. She went to work every night at eight o'clock and she mopped up floors until three in the morning. She worked on her: knees and wrung out the cloths with her hands. There were huge calluses where her joints came in contact with the floor and her hands were chapped and cracked and rough. Heavy and stolid and toil- worn was Maggie, bent with her fifty- two years and the poverty of an ex- istence on forty-two dollars a month. Maggie has come from Ireland, where she had been a farmer woman. She had always worked hard. She might have fared better in- America had her relatives not shunted her off to Chicago and left here there unad- vised. Some of the elevator operators at the office -building were old men plac- .ed there by the Handicap Bureau. They had told her of what had been done for them. She wondered if that ,Gannon could not help her. She -vent to see. Gannon told her of a ;manufacturer of electrical appliances who wanted a woman to clean up around the ma- chines. She worked part • time at five dollars a week and finally full time at fifteen dollars. It was better than the night job as scrubwoman. Then .the • asked to be trained to operate one of the machines. In four months she was running a wire -insulating ma- chine and presently she was rated as an expert at fifty-four cents an hour. By the time the war came to an end she was considered the best woman on the floor, and became superinten- dent and instructor at a salary of thirty-five dollars a week. She would never be recognized as the bedraggl- ed scrubwoman of two years ago. Her features have taken on character, in- telligence. Her mind has unfolded. She is a spruce and fairly well-dressed business woman. Her opportunity came at 'the age of fifty-two and she has lived up to it. She has been re- constructed. In Chicago.. in two years, twenty- eight thousand handicaps were found positions, five thousand of whom were women. and six thousan-i of whom were cripples. many of them Canad- ians and Americans who had fought in the Canadian army. Placing crip- pled soldiers is one of the primary purposes of the Handicap Bureau, but one which, it figures, will be so easy as not to cause much concern. It holds that almost any man, no mat- ter how seriously he' is injured, may be set to some task at which he is as fit and as effective as though he were normal. There was Jo Lora, in Chicago, for instance. A fly -wheel got hold of Jo's 'clothing and flung him in among the belting and big machinery and when he came out he had but one leg, one eye and no arms at all. But between two parts, of the factory there is a huge fire door weighing a ton and the fire regulations require that it should be kept closed. There was a lot of , trucking back and forth, which meant that the door had to be often opened and closed. It required an attendant. A one-armed man had formerly de- voted himself to this task. But the one-armed man load learned a trade and now they fixed this 'contacts so Jo with his one foot could throw a lever that would open and close this door. So 3o hold a job` to which some man must give himself. . He serves a full man's purpose. But Jo • does not stop here.

It uses many form letters. Its biminess is largely conducted by means of •; form letters. If Jo, with no other in- tellectual interest in the world, would devote himself to a study of form i letters, would concentrate on this one thing, might he not come to know . more about form letters than anybody else, might he not evolve something that would be of use to the firm? Jo would like to try. He is to study form letters for two years. If he turns up anything good, he will go into the form -letter department, where he will have stenographers to supple- ment his physical deficiencies. So Jo sits by the Erre-door and kicks his lever with his heeL On a stand before him is his book of form letters. When he wants a page turned, he uses ' his nose for .the purpose. There is a degree of embarrassment when he has a, cold, but under normal condi- tions -this member serves its unusual purpose effectively. Jo is hopeful and confident of the future.

There is, for instant, the pasting up and. routing of orders, a simple, almost mechanical task. But there is much coming and going, and there is 'likely to develop much talk and confusion. The Handicap. Bureau had three deaf and dumb colored girls. Mr. Gannon, knowing the detail of mail-order oper- ation, concluded that these 'girls, who would hear nothing of the clamor, who could not enter into the gossips of the employees, could paste end route orders better than girls with all their faculties.
