GIVES DETAILS OF INNER LIFE IN LAND OF SOVIETS Jacob H. Rubin Who Spent Much Time in Russia Pictures Tyranny of Bolsheviki. In an address delivered at the Du rand Art Institute. Lake Forest, Jac ob H. Rubin of Milwaukee gave an interesting | talk on -- "Russia _ froin within." The addres was delivered under the auspices of the Kiwanis Club of Lake Forest. of which George Anderson is president. The announce-- ments put out around the county 'stated that it was to be "A complete exposure of the intricate machinery g; Bolshevism" and so it proved to Mr. Rubin lost 36 pounds in weight @uring his sojourn in Russia. "That is my contribution of Communism," he said. In: Petrograd, the people were so reduced through lack of food that it was pitiable to see them. One day, 16 women were found lying on the sidewalk. They had tramped all day looking for food and fell down exhausted. One little girl carried a m around and tried to mother it her parents had died. 'The baby also died and the girl went insane. Mr. %ubln spent a short time in pri-- son in Russia.. He erpects to be called to Washington to testify be-- Mr. Rubin is a Russian by birth, and he conceived the idea that a trip to his native gountry after the world war might give him some idea how the Soviet Government was making out. He bad been a rank socialist himself and so be thought that Len-- Ine and Trotsky had, perbaps, found a solution for the world's ills, Re-- ferring to his experiences Jn Rus-- sia, Mr. Rubin said last night "It was the blackest chapter in my life's history." Instead of having a solu-- tion to the world's social ills, Bol-- shevism was an abject failure. Un-- der the ijron rule of Sovietism all freedom and individuality was crush ed, and 'here was no incentive to farm, to build or to manufacture. At one time, said Mr Rubin, there were nine fanatics to one hypocrite--now there are nine hypocrites to one fan-- atic. . Hundreds and thousands are dying of starvation: Education is neglected. They have lost all heart to--study or to work. Conditions made it impossible for one to better them-- selves. learned the inside facts--not any more than Llioyd George could have :;no during his recent visit to Amer-- Mr. Rubins had to live on a pound and a half of black bread per day, and soup made of potato perlings. One day a week, soup was made out of the heads of herrings. The Milwaukee man was amazed at one thing in Russia. Here in Chi-- cago and other cities there were holdups, and*it was unsafe to be out on the street at. night. In Russia there were no holdups at night and it was perfectly safe to go out in any city at night. What was the reason apparent paradox? He soon found out! There was no need to hold peo-- ple up at night. Members of the Ex-- traordinary Cominission<~went around in broad daylight and if they saw --a man standing around with any jew-- elry or other valuable on him they would go up to him in the name of the Commission and quietly relieve him of these articles' In fact, it was done so nice and slick that one would Leel like apologizing to the commig-- sioners for giving them the trouble of having to help themselves to ones belongings, said Mr. Rubin. | . The visit of U. 8. Senators to Rus sia was of no value to the United States for the simple reason that Russis "clearaed house" 'to. receive these men, and the Soviet Govern-- ment made it their business to see to it that the senators were kept en-- tertained from the time of their ar rival to their departure.

With the resignation of Edwin Dep-- \by as Secretary of the Navy accepted 'by the President, the first break in the \Cabiget occurred. There is a strong !movoment in Congress, princpally 'among the Republicans, for the remov-- 'al of Attorney General Daugherty. Mr, 'Denby quit to save Mr. Coolidge em-- 'barrassment because of the charges of incompetency, not graft, in connection with the leasing of the naval oil re-- | serves to Sinclair and Doheny inter-- 'ests. Daugherty is not as closely iden-- \tifled 'with the oil scandals as his as-- sociate in the Cabinet, but he has ney-- er been povular even among the lead: ers of his own party. Washington, Feb..%5--It becomes in Creasingly apparent that the average citizen must exercise moderation in judgments of men and affairs primar y as a duty to the nation. Impar: tlally 'cons'dered, the rumors emanat-- ing from this city have a tendency»to dustroy order and public conf'dence in that by repitition it takes on the appearance of probab'lity,. The dan-- ger lies in the alarming character of the rumors rather than from the actu-- al discovery of fact srelating to wrong doing in office Meanwhile, the gov-- ernment continues to function with at-- tentiveness toward the public indigna-- tion aroused by the oil scandals. To anglyze and dissect the political rumors now afloat in all parts of the country requires nothing more than consideration for the rule in political ethics that "we find great laxity as to the obligation of veracity in politics; wilful calumnies are propagated, fic-- titious facts are boldly prociaimed, the reputation of men attacked in its very vitals under the excuse of party war-- fare,, as if the victory of a party was the ultimate object, and the© preva-- lence of truth and the spirit of verac-- ity not more important." Inasmuch as both major parties are involved in current investigations and scandals, there is nothing prejudicial or parti-- san in these statements. Public wel-- fare is often made a pretext for parti-- san measures. It will be_recalled that Daugherty was named Attorney General by his intimate friend, the late President Harding who ha da warm admiration for his political sagacity and a deep personal attachment due to ten years of close association®in Ohio politic«. Antagonism toward Daugherty devel-- oped during the last Presidential cam-- paign when he was vigorously opposed a sthe spokesman for the Ohio delega-- tion to the Republican national con-- vention. The fight against him within his party has grown, especially since the passing of his chief defender, the late President. It is believed that he will retire before the convention in June, because his connection with the Cabinet may bring a blight upon the candidacy of--Mr. Coolidge.

Nobody will contest the opin'on expressed years ago by Lisber, the political economist, that "popularity is far from constitut-- ing the sole index of good govern-- ment.'" ~It is generally agreed that a representative givernment is not cont-- plete without lawful opposition. There is grave danger, however, in the habit of partisans to interpret clamor for public opinion. ~'The feeling prevails that political coalitions generally are [eonMvo to arouse distrust in the public mind.
