that the registration has been the

A SAMPLE OF BoLSHEVISM

Accounts Of the opening OF the recent
congress Of the Bolshevist government
at Petrograd are interesting; they
would be even more interesting to the
King who ruled by might alone some
thousands OF years ago. 1t Is related
that before Lenine came to make his
opening speech, the courtyard OF the
Tamic Palace was filled with heavily
armed spies In the pay OF the Extra
ordinary Commission" and that most OF
hem were brutal and repulsive in their
appearance" When Lenine arrived, he
vas surrounded by Red gendarmes and
his automobile was followed by an ar
rhored car with its machine guns
swinging menacingly in all directions"
: Whom Lenine began his address,
guards with loaded rifles stood on each
side Of him. He spoke in 4 peremptory
tpne OF voice and in so direct fashion
that It discouraged all discussion" One
man who was somewhat deaf tried to
let nearer the from and was seized and
hurried away TO jail. AS soon as he had
finished. Lenine hurried away sur
rounded by his armed Guards.
Such Is the ideal poor mans govern

NOT even talk tc their dictators and to
