In the constitution it is provided that officers "ihatl be i emoted on conviction of misbehavior in otTice or nf any infamous crime." All that is needed is an order of ouster as part of the record of the court in which Mr Wriglev was tried and sentenced and nothing should be done t block that order or inierfere with it.

WHY BUILD ANOTHER ROAD WHEN THERE IS ONE ALREADY? This Is What the Believers In the Co operation of the United States In Plans for World Peace Would Like to Know Till! time is i.ipidl approaching when President Harding's rather indefinitely expressed views about the relations of the I'nited States to the rest of the world will be interpreted by his aids. It is announced from Washington that be is soon to confer with the rcprescntntiM'H of (Jreat Hrltniu, I'ranco nnd the other allied powers nnd that he will tell these gentlemen just what he thinks the I'nited States can and should do In his Inaugural address he said that we are lead to associate ourselves Willi the nations of the world for tonfeience and counsel and to seek the expressed views of world opinion nnd tn recommend n way to approximate disarmament He snld also that we elect to paitlclpate in suggesting plans for mediation, lonciliution and arbi tration and "would gladly Join in that e pressed conscietu e of progress which seeks to clarif and write the laws of international relationship nnd establish a lourt for the disposition of such justiciable questions as nations are agreed to submit thereto. The nllled nations in fact, about all the nations of the world, satp the 1'nired States, Germain, llussin. Turket and Mexico have entered into an association the express put pose of which is "to promote international co-operation nnd to achieve international peace and secuntv," and they bine pledged theniselvca to further this end bj the accept ance of obligations not to resort to war; bv the prescription of open, just nnd honoi able relations between nntions; bv the firm establishment of the understandings of Intel national law as the actual rule of conduct among governments, nnd by the maintenance of justice nnd a scrupulous respect for treaty obligations. The purpose winch the l'rcsuleni seems to hate in mind is apparentl identical with the purpose of the nations which hnve made this agreement among thimsclves Indeed, he s.its in his inaugural address that "in expressing aspirations, in seeking prnrtioal plans, in transplanting huniiinit.t'x new ion i ept of righteousness, justice and its hatreds of war into recommended action we aie read most henrtilj to unite " Iiuf he insists thnt what we do must be done without any sur render of nur national sovereignty and he expresses bis opposition to ' a world super -government" as ontrnr. in cxcrjtlnng we cherish And he says also that we have had a referi ndum on the questions of super seding nationality by lnlernationalit nnd "that there was ample discussion nnd there is a public mandate in manifest understand ng."

The President and fvecrctan Hughes nro t,nw confronted with the necessity of de I cidlnz xefliat deflnlte and niccific course to ri-comiiK-iid to the Senate. They are not outsiders criticizing something for which they are not responsible. The necessity of being definite and specific is upon them. If they think that the fifty or more na tions which have alrcndy associated them selves wilt undo what they hae done and will begin all over again nt the request of the I'nited States they are optimistic in the extreme. Hut If they find on examination of the whole subject thnt the entrnnco of the t nited .States Into the league, with such reservations as the most sensitive think arc necessnry to protect our rights to independ ent judgment, will accomplish exactly what a new association would accomplish, it Is likely that as reasonable and intelligent men the will got em thcmboltes accordingly. As to the mandate to which the President referred, so far as it was anything, it tva n mnndatc to bring nn end to the deadlock between the Picsident and the Senate nnd to clear the wn.t for the participation of the I'nited States in the complete settlement ot the issues growing out of the war. FLUID RUSSIA THE best census figures recently ntailable gave Ittissia a total population of ap proximately ISO.000,000. Impartial surveys made since the Sotiet experiments were well unilcr wav indicate clearly thnt the government nt Moscow never bad more than ."00,00(1 active stmpathizers. The reports which sustain thnt calculation were made by representatives of the llrltish Labor part, by German Socialistic groups and by ob servets like Arthur Henderson and II.

If it Vines not result conclusively now it will tenppear in nn enlarged form before long. The fall of bolshevism is so certain that it may lie in ce-pted as an accomplished fact in es timntes of the near future What ought to interest civilization now is not the Holshovist government, but the thing ni things that may succeed it Tor llussin is still a factor clo'el related in ever sthenic of settlement nnd reconstruction pro posed m London, in Paris and eten in Berlin. I'ntil the world can identify not onlv the leadeis of tho anti-Soviet rising but the forces behind them speculation is useless. It is htghl probable that the chief element of strength in present or future revolutions vtill be found in the agricultural workers, who, while thev an- the vnst mnjorit.t in Kussia. hate neter censed to believe thnt they are nt it great disadvantage under Soviet rule Thev hnve been forced to divide all the fruits of then toil vtith the state They have had to feed armies nnd they hate had to make large (nntributions to the industrial workers without icceiving nnything worth while in return All the hate needed at any time was leadership Those on tho outside who sought most ardently to eliminate Leninism know this and altvas have known it Months ago the interested groups on the continent det ided that bolshevism would have to be fought from within.
