RUSSIAN DICTATOR
LEN|NE IS DEAD
RUPTURE OF BLOOD VESSELS IN
BRAIN KILLS GREATEST
COMMUNIST LEADER
GOVERNMENT IS UNSHAKEN
Congress Of ProIetariat Picks up Reins
Of Republic Where Master Hand
Dropped Them

Moscow, Russia. - Nikolia Lenine,
Russia's great bOlshevik leader, died
suddenly at his country villa in the vii
lage of Gorky, 20 miles from Moscow.
The public announcement of the pre-
mier's death was withheld, until the
all-Russian soviet congress met. Only
then did the wires carry to all corners
of the soviet federation word of the
event, which even Lenine's political
opponents declare saddens the nation.
In the interest of science, an autopsy
was performed by IL doctors, includ-
ing the German specialist, Professor
Forester. 1t disclosed. according to
the official bulletin, marked changes
in the blood vessels in the brain, and
fresh ruptures of these vessels which
were the direct cause of death. The
death certificate was signed by four
professors. four doctors and health
Commissary SemaschO.
Another official bulletin, not signed,
but dated the Kremlin, says the all
Russian congress of 'soviets twill take
steps to secure the work. of the govern
ment without interruption, the soviet
power standing firm guard over the
conquests of the revolution"
Lenine's death. which the official
announcement said was entirely unex-
pected. in view of recent improvements
showing in his condition, comes at a
time when party differences are being
aired, and when the other soviet leader
best known internationally, Leon Trot-
zky. Is i'll and for reasons of health out
Of state affairs temporarily.
The government Is arranging for an
impressive funeral ut Moscow. Even
before the public generally knew of the
premIer's death, all arrangements for
n great ceremony were completed.
There will be nationwide mourning
for the head of the bolshevists and
meanwhile, party differences will be
submerged.
The career of this short. plump, bald
headed little man, who turned Russia
topsy turvy and probably as much in
fluenced the other nations of the world
as any other man of his century, was
full of adventure from his boyhood.
He was a re%volutionist at school, at the
academy, at his university, and ever
afterward,
L.enine's real name was Vladimir H.
Itch Ulianoff. He was born April "a,
1870, in the town of Simbirsk, Of a
bourgeois family with pronounced Tar
tar strain, reflected in Lenine's high
cheek bones and slightly slanting, Gym
ical eyes. His father was responsible
master Mt a communal school at Sim
brisk. and was very well known among
the school teachers of his district.
Lenine himself attended the high
school at Simbirsk, and, by n strange
coincidence, his principal was the
father of Alexander Kerensky, whom
Lenine afterward overthrow to become
premier of Russia.

BANK RELIEF PLAN TO
EXTEND FARM CREDIT
Money Must Come From Private
Sources Owing to Government
Short Term Loans

Administration plans for the relief
of the northwest agricultural situation,
as outlined by President Coolidge in q
message to congress will be developed
at a general conference to be held soOn
in which representatives Of banks,
business and transportation services
will participate. Secretaries Hoover
and Wallace have been called upon to
suggest those to whom invitations
should be sent.
Representation at the conference is
tional. Although bank failures in the
gr~ain-growing territory have presented
the most acute phase of the problem
which the administration Is endeavOr-
ing to meet, the pressure on the. farm
er is considered to have been trans
ferred to the general western commun-
ity in such a degree that more than
merely banking or credit measures will
be necessary to effect a remedy.
Administration officials are working
on a plan for the formation of a syndi-
cate of metropolitan bankers In middle
western cities who, 1t Is hoped, may
u~nderwrite sufficient loans to relieve
the northwestern bankers in the pres
ent credit s~tringency.
1t is indicated by treasury officials
that the war finance corporation loans
were merely the start of federal aid,
but is was said that much of the money
that must be employed to st%raighten
out the credit situation in the north
west will have to come from private
sources because of laws limiting the
government credits to six or nine
months paper.
In connection with the reported for
nation of the bankers syndicate it
was said that while the bankers would
be the first line of money supply, the
government eventually would nav to
back them up probably through the
war finance corporation or through
extension of additional credit by fed
eral reserve banks.

THE PRESIDENT HITS HARD

1t is most refreshing, in the pres
ent welter of alienism and foreign
ism, to hear President of the United
States talk American.
1--WE do not need to import any
foreign economic ideas or any for
eign government, Says President Coo
lidge.
Yet we have them both, and the
people do not know whence they come
or what their purpose is. Our alien
population has come to these shores
thinking that the American system is
like the systems they left behind
something to be fought, crippled and
destroyed. Moscow has chrystalized
the idea by preaching that "the capi-
talistic system" is the same the world
over. If it is, why is it that the Brit
ish workingman is, as the President
says, ''easily the aristocrat of Eu-
rope" while the American working
man is the aristocrat of the world 4?
Why is it that in the two nations
least touched with alienism in eco
nomic and political ideas, the common
prosperity runs highest? What was
German prosperity under Prussian-
ism but kind of slavery? What is
economic life under Moscow but an
endless horror?
1t is the idea underneath Prussia
and Moscow that is being transplant
ed in America as a new and improved
thing.
Here and there challenges have
been made to this trend. Brave voices
have been lifted in defense of the es-
sential America. Alenism in all its
harmful forms have been exposed. But
with aienism strongly entrenched
within the capitol itself, whence it is
sues at regular periods for new as
saults upon the Constitution of the
United States, it was always a diff
cult task to teach the people how to
distinguish between the vitality of
true progress and the ferment of de-
generation. By adding his voice to
the voices of the watchmen on the
walls, President Coolidge has render
ed a great and much-needed service.
1t is earnestly hoped that upon prop
er occasion he will amplify his re-
marks until the people of this country
fully understand just what he means.
When he does this, the nation will
show his common-sense counsel:
eve had better stick to the Amer
ican brand of government, the Ameri-
can brand of equality, and the Ameri-
can brand of wages. America had
better stay American.

Rev. Aspinall is closing up his con-
ference year as our pastor and will
leave for the annual conference next
Tuesday. We are expecting his return
for another year.
