In the town of Kovrov. a bitter
feud was waged between the rela-

prosecutors. Between Dec. 1 and
Feb. l only two women registered

We move to amend the decree Of
Vladimir by striking out all after
the enacting clause.
Equality IS great stuff II you can

equal insofar as they are equipped
with two arms, two legs and other
anatomical furnishings. and are en-

thirst and love of sex. In all else
they are unequal, and always will be

They must breed a race of mortals
alike IN all things. which God has
never done before they can make
all men think, act. and live alike.
And the present race OF Russians
has not been bred on the plan.
Take, for instance, the case of
Professor Dukelsky. an instructor
in the Veronezh Agricultural insti-
tute and head OF the administration
OF the leather industry When Lenin
made a public appeal last March for
the aid Of technical experts and
specialists in reviving Russian in
dustry, Professor Dukelsky wrote
him an open letter. which Lenin
permitted 10 be published. and TO
which Lenin himself wrote an open
reply Dukelsky complained that
specialists and experts who were
willing to work with the govern
ment were being harassed by ill
founded suspicious, sla-ders, and in
vasions OF their homes. being sub
jected 10 threats of death, confisca-
tion. and meddling in their most
private affairs. Soviet officials had
tried 10 eject him from mis- dwelling
in the Agricultural institute, he said.
"and had insisted that under no cir
cumstances was he TO be allowed the
use Of more than one bed for him.
self and his Wife
Lenin's reply is the perfect reveal
ton of all bolshevism in all it's asin-
unity 1t says in part:
so far as the wish for a separate
bed for each husband and wife, en-
tertained by intelligent persons, is
concerned, il is fully justified; but
a higher salary than that of the mid
die category is required 10 make this
possible. Doesn't the writer OF the
letter know, that when earning a
medium wage. no Russian citizen
may insist upon bed all for him
self?
Bolshevism butts into the sacred
privacy of man and wife dictates

Bolshevism, dedicated to the class
war and dete mined To wipe out all
classes by thee IroteC"tia-, creates
classes based IN income, ana then
directs how the income shall be
