'p A RUSSIAN LKUTUS There is a curious similarity be tween the murder of Rasputin, tht Russian alleged miracle man, end the murder of Caesar as it Is described in Shakespere's play. As th story of the death of the notorious' Russian is told in the remarkable biography by Kene Fulop Miller, thT-similarity between the two episodes is in some respects almost startling.

It should be remembered that Shakespere's story of the murder of Caesar differs considerably from the story as told by many of the historians. Although the title of the great play is "Julius aesar," the play is in reality about Erutus, the assassin. He is the hero of the play, the" man of noble nature who killed Cea-sar not because of personal reasons but for the sake of his country. He was in short a great patriot. Rasputin was slain not so much because he was personally in the way of the murderer but because he was regarded as a menace to Russia.

Because of their abnormal superstition the Czar and the Czarina were' completely under the domination of this "holy devil," a peasant from the steppes of Siberia, and this so hurt the feelings of Prince Felix Yusupov, a man of royal blood, that he -decided to murder Rasputin and thus wipe this blot off the royal house of Russia. Incidentally there was also personal motive. Prince Felix hated Rasputin out of fastidiousness and because of disgust with the man's fondling of women the Prince admired. But in the case of Caesar sober history would probably show that Brutus was not quite as Impersonal as Shakespere makes him out. The point is that Prince Felix had nothing to gain by the murder, of Rasputin than Brutus, had anything to gain by the murder of Caesar.

Moreover, he was not a killer by instinct. Like Brutus, he was fastidi-, ous, highly cultured, a man born to Wealth, intellectual in his tastes, Abe idol of the cultured classes. It is easily conceivable that a fu-r ture Shakespere may build up out of the life and murder of Rasputin; a great tragedy much in the manner in w7hich Shakespere built up a out of the murder of Caesar." All in all tljere are greater elements A of drama in the amazing life of the Russian than in the life of the Ro-; man. Perhaps no stranger. life.

jia' ever been lived upon the face oi tha earth. The dramatist who can probe down to the bottom of the Rasputin secret will "place- upon the world's; stage a dramatic figure such as has seldom been seen behind the footlights. The similarity between the' murder, of Rasputin end the assassination of Caesar is described by. Shakes-, pere breaks down in one important' particular. As Shakespere tells the story, Brutus was sincere in his deed and he was willing to die him-" self as a result so that his country might profit.

Prince Felix seems "to have" been a man who worked him-J self up to a factitious patriotism.1 It-looks very as if he copied5 Shakespere instead of acting in re-' sponse to a patriotic' impulse could not be resisted. s-' The total effect in the end Is that of shoddy patriotism. In the place of the noble heroism of Brutus we have what looks like the fake her oics of the Russian. HeUnsinuated; himself into the good graces of Rasputin, invited him to his home, triQd' to poison i him with' doctored failing, in that finally shot the, man and dragged his body to a-like where it was.

247 Park Ave. Boston, SO Boylston St Chicago. 6 N. Michigan Ave. Circulation Guaranteed-Audit Bureau of Circulation THE MISSISSIPPI WATERWAY According to an" Associated Press dispatch from Paul," Major Charles L.

Hall, army engineer, has made a second adverse report on the proposed nine-foot channel for the upper Mississippi river. It is Major Hall's xonten- tion that there is not jri; prospect suffi-' cient commerce on, ihe-upper Missis- -sippi to justify the cost of the channel. Appeal is to be made the commercial interests of St. Paul to the army board at Washington to override this opinion. It appears that Major Hall has made, two reports, the first some years ago to the effect that the probable traffic over a nine-foot, channel would be insufficient to war-.

rant the expenditure1 required "for the" I improvement. He has now made a second report stating that: lie sees no 1 reason for exceptions to his original' conclusion. The amount of traffic that interior waterways will carry is entirely problematical. This is so particularly where they lead to outlets that are off the main commercial highways 'and" in a round about way to outside markets. In the case of the Mississippi and its tributaries, the outlet is the gulf and thence east or west by the Atlantic or the Panama canal.

The great bulk of American; commerce is eastward and westward in its move-', ment, and mostly easterly. Inter-city traffic-would hardly justify any' extensive river; improvements. Their Value lies properly iir affording sea So far as the north and ceniral west is concerned, it is, clear that the one real egress to the sea is by way of the Great lakes arid the St. Lawrence river. There is nothing' problematical about the commerce, waterway would carry.

Moreover it'would meet all the requirements of vast interior section for direct access to foreign kcts. The question raised by Major Hall in regard to Mississippi 1 river improvement wbuld seem to apply to the nine-foot channel Chicago wishes to build connecting it with the Illinois river. Would be enough traffic over it to warrant, the improvement? Of course, the boosters of this waterway picture for it'a veritable deluge of traffic, but there is nothing in the economic situation it' actually exists to justify the extravagant claims made for it. We have always' felt that Chi- cago's main interest in this waterway project was to relieve it from the necessity of constructing sewage reduc-; tion works. A nine-foot channel would carry small barges only, and there would have to be trans-shipment at-' New Orleans.

Undoubtedly' the improvement will be authorized at some time because the political interests which are supporting it are sufficiently strong in congress to obtain xecognitioii; but its practical. value, is, in doubt. All of which goes to show, the great importance of concentrated 'federal actioiviri the authoriza-; tion and construction of the St. Law-' rence seaway. It ought to precede all other waterway-improvements involving large expenditures.

RAILROAD PROSPERITY The railroad industry is prospering even while tremendous changes are coming about in the traffic situation. According to the Railroad. Age the number of passengers carried in 1928 was the smallest since 1905. This de-. clinc is caused by the increased use of motor cars for travel.

But while passenger traffic as a whole has decreased, commuting and long-distance travel have grown and are likely to continue growing. It is the group of travelers between these two extremes who use the automobile more and If passenger traffic is falling off so rapidly, why are the railroads thriving? Their prosperity is based on increased freight motor truck nor commercial airpjanc has' 'seri of a nervous type and have no occasion to excuse your -conduct or behavior to yourself or fo others, then read on, read on, it can't do you any great harm, I'm sure. up permanently.

LOOKING BACKWARD TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Friday, March 4. 1901 Miss Mae Spencer won first place in the de clamatory contest the previous night at the Third ward school. Others who were awarded places were Ray Fadner, Lillian Lowell, Bessie Tipler and Prudence Kuehmsted.

An epidemic of measles had broken out at the University of Wisconsin. More than 100 students were confined to their rooms with the disease. Albert J. Smalley and Miss" Lois Smith both of this city were married at the Baptist parsonage the previous night by the Rev, A. LeGrand.

The couple was to reside in St. Paul. Mr. and Mrs. Bertin Ramsav and their daus-h- ters, Miss ilallie and Miss Ethel and John Stevens, were to leave the following Monday for New York, where they were to take a steamer for Italy.

Mr. Stevens was to be gone about four weeks. Ed SteinacUcr and Miss Pauline Miller of Grand Chute were married the previous day. TEN YEARS AGO Eriday, Feb. 1919 A soldiers loan fund was the subject of a bill Introduced that day by Senator L.

For residence purposes, city folk press out farther, and farther around, the edges of their community. Thus the centralizing and, decentralizing tendencies of population at present may nearly balance each other.

The result, when the intermediate steps have been taken and the. necessary real estate ad jus t- ment made, be the finest community life there ever was. As for those who remain in the real country, they will not suffer; Fewer people on the soil will make more from it. They will get their city-made products cheaper. They will enjoy nearly all the benefits of city life except the crowdingif you can call that a benefit.

OVERCOMING THE DRUG HABIT Studies made in Philadelphia, according to Dr. Morris Fishbein, show that "drug addiction" does not produce, in most instances, permanent physical an.d mental changes, and it is possible to rehabilitate "the addict successfully if he can be once relieved of his craving. This is one of the most encourag-ing difvelopmentS; in the fight against the narcotic evil. It is admitted that the ideal treatment lias not yet been found. But there are.

several forms. of treatment use which, succeed fairly well in eliminating the drug craving, by deprivation and the administration of medicines. It-- is reassuring to be told that when this is done, the victim is usually ready for a fresh start, with a mind and body not hopelessly wrecked by the devastating drug. With proper, food and exercise, and I favorable surroundings, health, may then, be regained and the victim may become again a useful member of society. The worst thing about such cases usually is that, after an, apparent cure, the, victim's will remain weak, so that if tempted he may acquire the habit again, more easily than before.vflere is a factor that has not been, given enough attention.

The will must be strengthened. Psychological help is needed, as well as medical and. physical help. TRAINS BY RADIO The New York Central railroad plans to install radio-telephone service between crew in the locomotive an the' crew in the caboose on all its freight trains, if the radio commission: the pennission The railroad lias already been experimenting with such service on four regularly scheduled freight trains. It has been successful' Officials believe- it would be of great value in promoting the safe operation of trains and greater efficiency in the handling of freight.

Such a sy tern should not conflict with other radio service, because it would require only one short wave frequency for all trains, each train having one receiving and sending telephone set of low power and limited range. The receivers, set up in the locomotiveswould be in continuous operation. Speech transmitted from the caboose would be produced on a loud speaker immediately above the engineer's set. Modern freight trains, particularly fairly level are often mile in length, making communication by ordinary signals diffi-. cult.
