TWIN BROTHERS

OLSHEVIKISM Is "autocracy's
X twin brother" said Charles Ed
~ ward Russell warning Ameri-
cans against the peril in this country.
Precisely; Bolshevism is autocracy.
Russia has escaped merely from one
kind of autocracy. 1t is firmly IN
the grip of another. Germany ap-
pears on the verge of the same rate
Carbon and .Kaiserism are only
forms of autocracy-the autocracy OF
the monarch on the throne. Boishev-
ism is the other extreme. substitute
Lenine for the Gar, Trotzky Tor
the Kaiser and the only difference Is
that while the Nicholas and Wilhelm
in their heydey did stand for law
and order of kind and the progress
of the individual was not utterly I'M
possible under their government, the
Lenines and the Trotzkys know no
law but their own wishes, no rights,
no, morals, no God. There lis no
chance under them for either the
rich or the poor. Progress is i'm
possible. Stagnation, then paralysis,
then starvation are the certain ef-
fects of Bolshevik rule.
Mr.. Russell says he has no thought
that the Bolshevik idea will ever
seize upon America to the extent of
overthrowlng the government. He Is
right. Whatever professional reform
ers may say, whatever demigogs may
proclaim, the fact is that we. In
America do have very responsive
form of government. Whatever a
majority of the voters determine they
want they can get-if they only want
it enough. They may not get 1t over
night, but as sure as night follows
day they will get what they demand
IL they insist. We don't need revolu-
tons in this country to get what
we desire in the way of GOVERN
ment, for the wise politician sails
pretty close to public opinion and
trims his sails accordingly, and
statesmen of quality have never been
lacking when we have had especial
need for them. =.
No, Bolshevism will not thrive In
America, but 1t may spring up here
to give us as much trouble as q
growth of thistles in a farmers. gar-
den, and the way to kill it is to lib
eralize our institutions to the extent
of our ability, to do our best to make
the square dear' the golden text in
business, and between man and man.
The employer must do his best for
the employe, and the employe must
have due consideration for the, en-
p,oyer. BY such means will we in
crease the general prosperity Of the
country. and the contentment OF our
people-and Bolshevism has nothing
In common with prosperity and con-
tentment.
President Wilson has hit upon the
correct solution of the Bolshevik
peril in Europe-food. Millions OF
people are on the point of starvation
They are desperate. They are hun.
gary, their families are hungry, and
they are idle with no immediate
prospect of employment. And they
are ignorant. densely ignorant
