with our trainmen. and believe the
agreement which we have submitted to
them. and which many of our trainmen
have signed, is In every way fair and
just as to wages and conditions of en-
ployment; and we believe under this
cure continuity Of service and thereby
avoid annually or periodically similar
agitation"

provisions of the law. On the contrary,
all the indications evidence the patriotism
and loyalty of our people.
I'm view. however, of the fact that In
other communities persons, at least i'll

suade young men from registering. it is
possible that, without the knowledge OF
public officials, such a propaganda may

disloyal acts, and 1t is my purpose to

CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL
Democracies do not make war. The
soul of democracy is utterly foreign
to war. Monarchies mean war;
demoCracies mean peace.
Every throne is an incessant threat
of war; every king exists behind a
buIwark of spears.
With the passing of the threat of
war that always goes with monarchy
there can be universal disarmament
in fact and not in theory.
With the dropping of the sword
the mind of man will turn to higher
things, the spirit of man will have a
new birth, life will ONLY JUST BE-
GIN upon the earth!
For fear should then begin to cease
to be the chief influence in human
affairs. With Europe democratic and
Unarmed, what would there be to
fear?
Democracies fear aUtocracies; they
do not fear themselves!
Suspicion, distrust and hatred will
begin to fade upon the heels of the
grisly shape of fear. For these, too,
democracy has no place. Democracy
is based upon the essential goodness
of the human heart. Democracy is
faith, good will, tolerance and friend
ship. Race-hatred can never long
survive where there is absolute de-
mocracy.
No, there is no end to the posi-
bilities now at hand Already we
have seen in the emancipation of
Russia the greatest day for mankind
since the fall of the Bastile. Let this
thing spread and we shall see a far
greater day than that
For consider: If Germany revOlts
and applies to the Hohenzollerns the
wise and weIl-cOnsidered treatment
the Russians have used upon the al
most equally detstable ROmanOffs

BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL
The dream of democracy come
true!-the dream that used to seem
sometimes so far off and so imprOb-
able-cOme true at last!
No more kings and no more wars!
This world no longer a blood
stained arena for the cOmbats of wild
beasts, but life redeemed in it and
exalted. The bitter old days of tooth
and claw Of grab and gain, Of truth
upon the scaffold and wrong upon
the throne, gone forever and ever
the new day Of freedom, equality and
decency ready to dawn!
We may see all of these things
we may, indeed we may. If we do see
them, then all the splendOrs that
have shown upon this earth will be
nothing to that splendOr.
For let this magnificent revolution
spread from Russia into Germany
and from Germany into Austria-let
the reactionary element of England
keep its moldy fingers Oft is good
night to absolutism in this world
Good night to monarchy, good
night to oppression and autOcracy
