A New York dentist told a patie.rt

Ten years ago this November 7 in
Red Square, Petrograd, the death
knell of a czar was sounded and Rus
sia's "bloodies" revolution began.
There were bound to be storms for
the new ship of state to weather, but
there were two strong men at the
wheel to whom all Russia looked as
captains. The men were Nikolai Len
in and Leon Trotzky.
This year, marking the first de
cade of the new government, a "man
in the Etreet" will stand and watch
the workmen's organizations parade
through the same square. That man
was one of the "captains" of the new
Russia, fallen now from his great
estate. Leon Trotzky will be a spec
tator where he used to be the cen
tral figure, where he once was the
man on the reviewing platform re
ceiving the salutes of all Russia. I
Lenin, and Trotzky together in-'
; trigued, planned, shaped politics.
drew up codes, won the czar's sol
diery, lived in cellars, hoped, waited,
i worked, and then in that supreme
moment of 1917 ascended to the
very pinnacle of Russia. Lenin lived i
six years after that great dream was
realized. Before he folded his hands
in death, he launched a last testa
ment to the Russian people, uphold
ing Trotzky as the man worthy to
lead them, and warning against
Joseph Stalin, that "Bonapartist" dic
tator. I
What has happened? Three years
after Lenin's death Trotzky is ex
pelled from membership in the Com
munist Executive, and the group led
by Stalin controls the party.
Here is one of the great moments
of history working out under our
very eyes, and a dramatic moment,
too. Looking back to the French Re
volution there are parallels into
which our later day has read a new
significance Danton's fall, then
Robespierre's. It seems that the men
who lead revolutions are crushed
themselves by the mighty machine
thpv start rolline. I
Russia today offers a study that is
worth while. Stalin, firm in his be
lief that the victory of the revolu
tion can be won only by holding the
power firmly in the hands of his own
group and using every possible means
to prevent free discussion in the
ranks of the party and to prevent
what we might call a Trotzky, assail
ing "that class of bureaucrats and
party officials appointed and con
trolled by Stalin," and demanding
restoration of control to the rank an.:
file of the party.
Stalin is at the top now and Trot
zky is out. The next chapter, even
more interesting than the struggle
just witnessed between the two men,
is now in tne acting and nas yet 10
be written. How shall it be writ
ten? Is Trotzky going the way of the
complaining old man who raises his
voice vainly in the streets and where-
ever he can find an audience? Or is
he already on the way back, gather
ing about him the nucleus of a new
leadership and preparing for the mo
ment to strike? These are interest
ing conjectures. The next few years
held the answer.
Trotzky, at least, now knows this
that plaudits, after all, are empty
and Fame hurries along. People have
a way of speeding Fame on her jour
ney. It's Just a natural trait, per
haps.

TWISTING REZ'S TAIL
The old tricks in politics are good
ones, and William Hale Thompson,
having put on a very bluvby side
show, now proceeds to the main tent
where the real fun begins.
The ballyhoo has been excellent,
which is to say side-splitting. King
George, of England, has been up to
terrible tricks. Centering his activi
ties in the history books used in the
schools and tampered with nearly
every volume in the libraries, you
can hardly sit down to read a book
jn Cnicago Without finding out what
a great mistake our forefathers made
when they went to war against the
British Lion.
It is well that Chicago has a mayor
that knows all about these things.
We don't know whether or not there
is anybody left in Chicago who
drinks tea. but if there is, it's a safe
- t that he wmt have tQ pay the
I tax on it. He can thank his lucky
starsthat there stands at the head ot
his civic government such a mighty
tailtwister as Big Bill.
Mr. Mencken has been invited to
the show, and you knew Mr. Menc
ken hasn't any love for John Bull,
either. He's going to crack the whip
in one of the rings. The only myster
ious thing about it that we can see
is that Mr Mencken doesn't seem to
be running for any office.

A student of motor accidents culls
from the Sundays news these In
stances of fatal carelessness r In
North Carolina a driver, plunging
into a congregation just as it leaves
church, kills two and Injures three.
His excuse was that he "didn't see
them!" In Kansas one is killed and
five are seriously hurt in an auto
mobile collision with a passenger
train at a grade crossing. The car,
according to witnesses, was driven
pell-mell into the roaring locomotive.
Yet, the man at the wheel, had he
escaped, would have said, perhaps,,
that he "didn't hear." In California
a lover and his lass, soon to be mar
1 ried, drove into a garage, and sat
for a while talking, while the engine
ran. When they were found some
hours later, she was dead and he dy
ing from carbon monoxide. Despite
the generally known danger from
that gas in close quarters, they
didn't think.
Such thoughtlessness, such heed
lessness it is that keeps so high the
toll of motor deaths. Those who,
having eyes, see not, and having ears,
heart not, are chargable with most
of the fatalities on highways and
streets. It is carelessness, mainly,
that kills. The fundamental reform
in traffic affairs, therefore, must take
place in the minds and hearts of
those who drive and those who talk.
Rules are essential and must be en-
forced, systems are helpful and
should be maintained; but none of
these can protect against wanton
carelessness. The cure for that must
come from within.
