What he stood was something far different and even more painful. I mention the ambassadors tribute to Mr. Ackerman because it tells us something we desire very much to know when we are reading of Russia. We want to know to what school of Mr. prejudice the writer belongs. Ackerman, I take it, is a member of the American journalistic school of prejudice, which, I believe, wears its prejudices quite loosely and interchangeably. We need not be surprised, therefore, that his facts about Russia are no kin to the facts of Raymond Robins, whose highbrow leanings toward theoretical he called them actual he exploited before a committee of the United States senate. After jolting through Russia from Vladivostok to Ekaterinburg, on a trip of 12,000 miles, Mr. Ackerman assures us that Bolshevism is a failure socially, industrially, economically, politically and in all the other ways that are not forecast by these headings. He says : "If Bolshevism was intended to be the creation of a new business life for the world, it failed in Russia. If e expected it to be the beginning of a new social order in which the working people predominate, he has succeeded at frightful cost of universal chaos, individual suffering, nationwide misery and unemployment. Bolshevism has brought about a new order in Russia, but the nation is without life. In Siberia, as in Russia, the nation is dead." An illuminating picture of Bolshevism inaction, or rather in a state of comparative inertia, reveals to us the fall of a gold mining business at Before the arrival of Ekaterinburg. the Reds it was managed with success by an American. The Reds ruled him out of his job and took possession. Let Mr. Ackerman tell the rest of the Bol-shevi- ve 20,-000,0- They were suddenly the owners of the gold mine. Their dreams were realized. They were no longer laCne borers; they were owners might have thought that workers suddenly made joint owners of a rich mine would have organized and developed it; but they didnt The mine That satisfied was their property. them, but the machinery was made in France and was, therefore, a symbol of capitalism, so they destroyed all the machines machines which had teen manufactured and brought to these shafts at an expense of 1,400,000 francs. Then they began working the mines In the most primitive fashion until the labor became too difficult, and one after another the miners drifted away. As a matter of fact, Mr. Ackerman says the counter revolution of the enworking man in Russia "has not nobled labor; it has made leisure supreme. How then, if Bolshevism Is a failure in Russia, has it maintained it 00 peared that in one of the previous debates Douglas had quoted words which Lincoln was said to have used in a speech at the Springfield convention and Lincoln had made a telling point by denying that he had employed such words at Springfield.

During the conversation Lincoln's name was mentioned and the judge gave his impressions of the Lincoln-Dougla- s debate at Galesburg, W1AT 111. I was in Burlington and the fame of the debates excited even my boy- ish interest. I determined to be at the Galesburg debate. There was a road from Burlington to Galesburg and I found the means to make the trip. I thought Douglas the better IN bater, he was so forceful and direct. I was not so much Impressed by Lincoln's oratory as by his personality. He was a strange man. He looked like a. big, awkward mystical preacher and acted much like one. You have often heard that there was something mystic about him and that was the impression I seemed to catch. On the other hand he was cool, clearheaded, dignified and unruffled. "Douglas showed the greatest respect for Lincoln, but that day he was decidedly angry with him.

He displayed then that temperate sagacity for which he was remarkable when president, and yet, plainly, he had been guilty of pettifogging in that instance. e On the way home an Democrat remarked, This fellow Lincoln is a singed cat! He was alluding to the kind of a cat that hangs around the stove and is often singed, but is just looks ugly and as good a cat as if his fur were soft and sleek. That clung to my memory and was a fairly precise description of the general idea most people formed of Lincoln in those days. ki Le-nin- story: self so long? Mr. Ackerman declares it has held out because little has been done to check its course, and because of the division and the scattering of its opponents, whereas the Bolshevists themselves are fairly united. Mr. Ackermans book, however, ends happily, as you might say. Even the clouds of Bolshevism have a silver lining, and this silver lining Mr. Ackerman chiefly sees in the unions, with their membership of heads of families, and more than 50,000 shops, mills, factories and warehouses, which have been the only things in Russia that have thus far successfully stood out against the Bolshevist decree abolishing private ownership, and have refused to permit the Soviets to seize their properties. 17 By M.
