SOCIALISM In RUSSIA
WHEN APPLIED TO ACTUAL CON-
DITloNs SOCIALISM FALLS IN
TO LINE WITH THE EVILS IT
DEPLoREs.

Socialists are always asserting
their right of free speech and a
free press they denounce the gov
.ernment as despotic when it forbids
them to teach violence and treason.
Yet the first chance the sociahstic
revolutionary government of Russia
gets, it goes many times farther in
the way of suppressing free thought
and free speech than the most
tcapitalistic" government ever did.
1t not only shuts UP every paper
and periodical which does not uphold
its program of crime but it confiscates
all printing presses wherever found,
and proclaims the doctrine that print
ing is a government monopoly, in
which the people have no rights and
which is to be employed only for the
purposes of the ruling elements. The
minority are to have no rights what.
ever, notes The Pathfinder
1t is a providential thing for the
United States that the wildly dam
gerous- doctrines of socio-anarchism
are being tried out in Russia, and
not here The anarchistics agitaters
were at work in this country by the
thousand, largely under German di-
rection, and they were laying all plans
for revolution here. Our people
went on blissfully ignoring all this
wicked propaganda, imagining that
wars and revolutions were thing OF
the past and that no harm could touch
us or touch civilization at ALL
Things shaped up in Russia so that
the fire of revolution was started
there instead of here. Many of the
leaders of the civil war in Russia have
lived in this country and operated as
agitators here. Their vile. heresiesz-
veritable dynamite bombs of immor-
ality-have already been planted wide
ly among the ignorant of our own
people, and it would have taken but
a spark to have fred the train.
