 PREFER OF HUMAN EVENTS
 Oct. 16, 1886. Editor of Tho Democrat:
 The writer of this letter who signs himself ''Iron Quill," is not a conn., munist. fascist. propagandist, or the agent of any sect or party, but just 8 student of the world revolution, that is now, has been since the dawn of the century, and will be until man understands himself, and has found h:s proper adjustment in the plan of creation. Newspapers and magazines, books and myriads of other publications and periodicals, not mentioning the radio, seek to report and amplify events in the world today. Humble pens such as Iron Quill, try to interpret these events, and to clarify their meaning to help readers of all denominations who take keen interest in the world they live in.
 It is not the intent of this pen to apologize for the Russian revolu- tion, or for fascism, or any other ism, but to seek out the causes now operating in the evolution of the race, which is always struggling up- ward towards the light and the hope of making this world Q 1t place to live in for all mankind, and the chil- dren of men; the coming race that will inherit the world when our gen. eaation has long passed away and F n forgotten.
 This writer believes that in the womb of the future lies the embryo of world commonweal, 8 world state, a world directorate of all the people If the world by all the peo- pie of the world; call 1t . directorate of the masses or what you will; not the rule of a little: or Mussolini, ever any particular section of 1t, but of the people over all of it. Europe, Asia, Africa, America, where none will seek to exploit. the other, but each work for the collective welfare of all.
 The happiness of all the people is of far more importance than that of any one Hitler, Mussolini, dictator, king, emperor, czar, or tyrant ever enslaved people defeated in inn perialistic wars.
 In the new Russian republic, which covers oIle-Sixth of the world, this writer, sees a symbol of a world commonweal, when the world state will be the only state, and wars re- membered as relics of barbarian. That time is sure to come. even # one or more generations pass away before its realization.
 The vision of Tennyson saw Eu- rope become Q confederation of states, . prophetic vision without a doubt, for if every state in these United States had a dictator oyer It, we would be where Germany Is to- day as well: as Italy, without a do,'-t. Ard if Europe was . union of states such as we are, there would be no fasciti djctators, but the peo- RAC tAAgAAASCAVO0 etAAtA A4Oe OAAS V4 vAASesA ,uld be autocrat over all.
 Of course all this may sound like . dream of Utopia, but as Tenny- son expressed the idea:
 And is the Goal so far away?
 Far? How far no man can say,
 Let us have our dream today.
 Some of us are. born idealist no doubt. Dreamers yes, and that is why we fight for our ideals. Those who fought for Q free America were idealists; today that ideal has crys- talized into our nation as 1t is. So it might be said to the heroic dead of the workers of Spain. They have given their lives that others may live. What more noble death can men die, and what more glorious epitaph could any man desire to have inscribed to his memory than "He Died in Freedoms Cause"
 It may be said from an academic viewpoint that the Russian revolu- ton, born from the political cunvnl- sion of the sufferings and oppres- sion of the people of Russia, has never been accepted in this country; a country that has been in the past the asylum and sanctuary of the oppressed of the races of Europe. The name of communist" which is taken from the ''ccmmuneH adopted by the nascent town of France, before they had conquered from their feudal lords and masters. l,,nnT nYf.unwnrv,y..n,ak haa hnnnmnG
