THE CRISIS IN RUSSIA.
Russia's second Duma has gone the
way of the first one. und, the end was
brought about by Premier Stolyplnls
demand for the exclusion of certain
members Of the lower house accused
of a plot against the C/.nr, and the ar?
rest of some among these declared to
In- most compromised. In a manl
?festu Issued with the ukase the Czar
sets forth I lie grounds for his action
^jcppy^!^wl||i the announcement of
his determination to abrogate the el?
ectoral law and to replace it by a new
one. Promising that since the disso?
lution oT the first Duma his govern?
ment had adopted a series of Bltccea
slvo measures to pacify the country
and establish I no affairs of state In
regular course, the Czar declares that
the second Duma was summoned to
contribute, according to his sovereign
Will, to the pacification of Russia,
principally by the work of legislation;
next, by an examination of the bud?
get, and. finally, by the national use
of the right of nddrcssitg Interpella?
tions to the government. A consid?
erable section of the second Duma
failed to justify Ills expectations, but
displayed u manifest tendency to aug?
ment Russia's troubles and assist In
the disruption of the state. As a re?
sult a hostile spirit was Introduced
?into the Duma Itself which prevented
the union of u sufficient number of
Ub members duslrious of working for.I
the Interests of the country, und that'
body either failed to discuss Import?
ant measures which we'ro drawn up
by the government or delayed their
discussion, or else rejected thoin, nor
even recoiling from the rejection of
jajyj}jy,|iich punished thu open support
?' of crmos, and particularly tl#: disse?
minators of trouble, who had evaded
condemnation for assassinations and
acts of violence. Alter complaining
of obstacles growing out of the bud?
get und tlio exercise of the right of
InwRjollation, tho Czar finally refers
in Ho ease of the licensed members
in regard to which "tho Duma tailed
to curry out Immediately tho lawful!
demand of the authorities, which ad?
mitted of no delay."
The Czar finds tho mil In cause of
tho Duma's failure to answer expecta?
tions to lie in tho fact that, owing to
i)< fects in the electoral law, that body
wfts composed of members who were
not truly representative of the needs
...end desires of the people. He announ?
ces, therefore, that ho lias decided
to modify the procedure In choosing
elective representatives of the people
to the Duma,' in order that each sec?
tion of tho people may have Its own '
representatves. Tho Duma, ho says, I
should be Russia in spirit, and while I
other natonalitioH forming part of the'
empire; ought to have representatives'
of their needs in that body, they ought
not to appear, and Blmll not appear.
In such numbers ub will make It pos?
sible foi them to I/o. arbiters of ques?
tions wheh are purely Russian, and
within'the confines of the stale where
the: people have not attained auffi-1
cieut development, the elections to'
the Duma rojit be temporarily bus-'
perided. \\S ''zing that the neces-'
'i.odlflcations could'
s 4
not haw boon introduced In tho cnato^
ninry legislative way by tho Duma,"
tho Czar resorts to his "historic pow?
er'' ami announces that ho gives Rus?
sia a pow eleetorial law ami orders
its promulgation In the Senate.
Such information ns has conic to
hand regarding the new electoral bas?
is Indicates that an effort has been
made to reduce to a minimum the reg?
istry of those classes of tho popula?
tion which have shown the greatest
hostilities to tho government. A re?
duction Is made In the deputations
from the enstom and Siberian pro?
vinces, which returned Radical depu?
ties to tin1 bite Duma; the represen?
tation from Poland is cut down to
onethird of what I? was. nnd an al?
most similar decrease Is made in the
Caucasus region. Increases in the
number of delegates uro provided for
in certain provinces and cities which
returned conservative members here?
tofore, of twenty-four towns former
I ly elected representatives directly,
only seven uro lo retain the method
While the Czar and his advisors
ure urrnnglng for nnolher Duma llto
revolutionists or Russia are planning
for an active campaign of bloodshed
and for the firs) lime It really seems
as if the pensnntry or the country
wns slinking off the supernatural rev
erence in which II held the "Little
Father.' It is this reverence that
hns prevented revolution for many
years past but. the agents of the re?
volutionists have been active in their
work of education and It would seem
now that all that Is Inciting rpr the
overthrow of the tv.ir is a real leader
ntnong the people. That the great
mass In Russia Is steady to tight for
freedom there seems hut little doubt:
that they want to shake off the Insuf?
ferable conditions that prevail and
are willing to give their IIvob Is a
certainly. The time is ripe, but as far
as can be Judged from tho liewspnp
ors the Washington or the Bolivar has
not yot arrived.
THE Fl BE PREVENTION CRUSADE
Sinei? the great conflagration at Ban
Francisco a number of engineers and
construction experts have become en?
gaged In a movement that approaches
a crusade against lax building meth?
ods . Investigations and tests have
shown thai really fireproof buildings
are very rare, ami that many which
itri' labelled fireproof, in large letters,
are not so at all. The consensus of
expert opinion seems to be that the
remedy Men In strict and strictly en
forcod building laws. In other words:
Do not trust to putting out fire, but
remove the possibility.
The Uniled 'states Geological Sur?
vey hits received reports from three
eminent engineers who made an ex?
haustive study of the condition id'
building niter the fire in San Francis?
co. These engineers are Prof. Frank
Smile. Dean of the College of Civil
Engineering In the University of Chili
torn,'a; Captain John Stephen Sewell,
of tho corps of Engineers, ?'United
Slates Army; and Mr. Richard L.
Hmnphyroy, expert in charge of the
Structural Materials Division of the
Technical Brunch of the Geological
Survey and secretary of the National
Advisory Board on Fuels and Struc?
tural Materials. "They reach tho
conclusion," remarks the Engineering
Record, "that the lessons from the
Chicago and Baltimore fires have not
yet boon learned ami that a great
conflagration, with its attendant loss
of life and millions of dollars In prop?
erty. Is possible in every city In the
country."
Mr. Humphrey says in bis report
Unit the defects o( construction so
strongly condemned in San Francisco
"are no worse than those generally
practiced throughtout the United
Slates." Tile cause of this, according
to the reports. In the short-sighted?
ness of builders, who, seeking a large
Immediate return on investment, re?
fuse to pay for good construction. Fire
statistics In this country. R is point?
ed out show the false' economy in
cheap construction. If Individuals will
not ceasd to put up unbttrnnble build?
ings, say the experts, It is the duty of
communities to do so by law.
The general conclusions of the
three experts may be slimmed up in
Mr. Humphrey's words: "Tin- only
sure way to remedy grave defects of
this character is to enact strict build?
ing laws which will compci tin obser?
vance of tho essentials for fireproof
construction."
It would seem as, if Helen Gould
would be justified in publishing some
of tho extraordinary requests that
come to her from all sorts und con?
ditions of people for money. It
might have a different effect on
thouo who are hi comfortable circum?
stances and who yet have the nerve
to ask for help to cater to their van
ltlcs.
