I ft i "The Present Situation in Russia" and "The Awakening of China" Were the Subjects Treated. BASE BALL Varsity vs. Leaguers ANTELOPE PARK TODAY Yesterday afternoon at five o'clock Prof. Paul S. Rolnsch, head of the de partment of Political Science at Wis consin University, lectured at the Temple on "The Present Situation in Russia." Dr. G. E. Howard, In Intro ducing Professor Rolnsch, emphasized the facts that though Political Science lo a very now addition to university curricula, It Is rapidly increasing in Importance; and that Wisconsin Is recognized as having the strongest department in the country. Professor Rolnsch said In brief: v "Of the elements of the Russian situation, the government is best known bore. The Department of the Interior, with its wonderful police or ganization, is the essential feature of the govornmont. It precedes every other department In importance be cause its groat function is to protect The sacred person of the Czar. The organization of the police department Is perfect in its details. The men know no standard but obedience, and are trained in the service. "Opposed to them Is the revolution ary , organization, a state within a state, which' levies tnxes, holds , .courts, and passes judgmbnts and Is often, as tyrranlcal ub the government Itself. By regular trials It orders men assassinated and appoints men to da the work. It compels obedience by threats. In three years about 2,000 assassinations have thus been done. Thus we have a paradox of tv.o hostile, lighting states, one wlth- iuthe other. Between the two are the Buffering "Russian people, hoping for a better organization. "The three classes of the Russian masses are the Intellectuals, the mer chants and the peasants. The mor- jc.hrnts, though Intelligent, do-, not count for much as a class bdeause of thc-ir small numbers. The iieasants when emancipated by Alexander II, were,, emancipated from masters, but not from the spll which they cannot leave, There ore good and bad soils. The poor soils, will not support the peasants and they must go to cities In winter to work In factories, thus . belng called 'gq-away Russians.' They leturu In summer to harvest the .crops, full of revolutionary doctrines. What, they demand is liberty from the Elands The richer peasants demand ino$ glands, .uid thus the composite 'cry of Ihe two classes of peasants, KLiuerty., aud Land.' The intellectuals !, i. I,'1 ' , , ,' . for nusBW, are not a promising ciass. f Long, excluded f rom all initiative, they hhavoV become, inactive; a deadening influence, re'sts qx them. As a rule jjtbey - are Kopeleis pessimists. Just lout of the universities, they are Don JQulxotes; burling themselves at Jwtadmllls,, but t once cast down they 'aroi?

An educated leadership is lacking in Russia. "The great object has 'been to give Russia an organ of expression a national parliament. The first step was a convention of substantial land holders in 1904, which, because of the stress of the war, was permitted to meet to palliate Ritas. an and forolgn opinion. They passed the 'Charter of Public Liberties,' a great deal like our 'Hill of Rights,' and presented it to the Czar. His reactionary advisers triumphed and he lefused the charter because his powers wero an entity inherited from his ancestors, he said, and he could not change them. "But this was a rallying point. Ales tlngs( under the guise of sciouco, were held all over Russia, and the eleven points of the charter recom mended to the Czar. Arrests were at tempted, but thousands of doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc., were involved and suppression wus Impossible. "The second step in securing a par liament was the strike agitation under Father Gapon, In 1905. 1 was started by the police, who feared the Czar would yield enough to da away, with the necessity for them, but It got be yond their control and for two weeks the Russian nation was stagnant. In October the Czar granted a call for a Douma and In December conferred almost universal suffrage. "The Constitutional Democrats se cured 200 members, though Professor MUenoff, organizer of the party, and oue time professor in the University of Chicago, was defeated by the gov ernment, a charge being brought against him, thus making it Illegal for him to stand for election. The Douma was very picturesque, the be havior of the "peasants being very commendable. They simply stuck to their platform, 'Land and Liberty,' and could not be distracted. But the administration would not co-operate, and they were dissolved, after disclos (Continued on page 3.) FORE8TRY NOTE8. Donations From 8everal Manufactur ing Concerns. The Forestry department has recent ly received a donation of a new pprt able saw mill from the De Loach man uincturing company which Is to form a permanent exhibit for the forestry ri tidents.
