B. M. Schick. THE TROUBLE WITH RUSSIA. Andrew 1>. White, long a stud eut of European affairs and the United States anibassadordiffer ent countries on several occa 8ions gets at the kernel of the situation in Russia when he says that the emperor is supposed to do all the thinking for 140,000, 000 people with all sorts of dif ferent. religions and ideas, says the Spokesman-Review. The old idea thatthe czar is an absolute ruler, appointed by God, is being rapidly outgrown. People in the country can not understand why the Russian should be reconciled t o accept ing the absurd idea of mitodracy, bat when a people have been taught for generations to believe that such centralized authority is divine, it must take a genera tion or more to shatter the fic tion. And when it, is under stood that the Russians. .• jieople, are far behind other na tions in enlightenment, if, will be easy to appreciate why they are not more urgent in their de nmnds for liberal goviMiimein. Many people in England, aiul even in Canada, are today of the! opinion that royal blood is bet is a ter than the blood of t he nioner; that there is some physi eal difference betw.vn-thoseu ith. in the royal cireloand those with, out: t hat royal people ha vesome peculliar sujieriority or excellence t hat commoners can never i*. cause of divine edict, hope to at 1 ■ com quin*. When enlightened people ean entertain such nonsense this, it is not surprising that the great mass of the Russian as peo ple, reared to the notion thatthe czar is a ruler with credentials from God, should he slow to de mand the popular government " Inch we of the United states ac cep as a matter of course. But, as Mr. White says, the evils of the old autocratic system must become more apparent as the Russian people learn how far behind they are in modern ideas of government, general this idea becomes the more intolerable will the system become. But until the Russians have been educated what 1 hey want. there will be no revolutionary reform and the more to know sweeping that gives them what Americans understand as a free and liberal government.
