The Lesson From Russia Was Needed
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE


The horror % Russia was as necessary for the worlds education
~ the horror of Germany.
Mankind learns its lessons cxpenSvcly, with infinite waste.
1t could comprehend the necessity of the United States of the
World only by spending millions of lives and billions of dollars.
humanity of its essential Oneness. The idea had 10 he blasted in.
And to get its real lesson in Democracy the human race needed
the wild orgy of Bolshcvsm quite aS much rs It needed the madness
of Prussiansn,
For both teach the same truth.
And that truth is that GOVERNMENT BY CLASS Is EVIL
AND ONLY EVIL.
Germany outbreak and it's eventual collapse will show the
crime, in all it's hideOuSneSS of government by a so-caIled upper class
Russia : red riot, its plunge into tyranny, assassination. famine
and bankruptcy, will show the crime Of government by the so-called
lower class.
= Democracy is as much opposed to one rs to ihc other.
Democracy faces both ways.
II opposes a tyranny by the Iroctariat rs firmly as il opposes
a tyranny 10y the Aristocrat.
II stands for government by The people, of the people and Cor
the people.
il has a place for every man. for the scholar. the clerk, the poet
and for the brirklayer, the farmer and the engineer.
TO say that the welfare Of a nation depends upon those who labor
lords and gentlemen.
II depends upon All.
Democracy means unity. II means Cooperation, Organization
Mutual Intcrdependence.
And lest the world, which likes 10 go to extremes should imagine
when II wins this war against lis autocrHtic maraudcrS, that Govern
mcui by kaHerS. Kings. and SultauS is It's only enemy, and that we
shall have peace forever when they are oycrthrOwn, il had to be
shown, in The luid page of Russia, that Government 10y a tyrannical
Proletariat is every whit as dangerous.
The one great everlasting stubborn and dabohcal enemy Of
Democracy is CLASS, IN whatever gUisc.
