THAT SAD \fT Ail
On the face of yesterday : :ngs occurrence
when a man lost his life aiv. ntr ’• property was
destroyed, appears eriwinf .relessness; but
whether there was or not i- nest ion for the
authorities to answer afu- rough investi
station. In the first pie e man should be
locked up v.'iutou: mini n . for there is
no way of knowing before - what may hap
pen. A sad example of forced on the
community only yes'.- - unfortunate
died like a rat in pe and
no one around to render : . . rhis in itself
shows lack of forethought on the part of the
city government. In the Ace- if a man
must be restrained of hi any infract

MINORITY RULES IN RUSSIA
Soviet Russia is ruled by a body of men
drawn from a minority which numerically is j
insignificant and which is inspired by the bitter ]
cst animosity toward the people who form the j
vast majority of the inhabitants of the country |
A considerable number of the Bolshevist rulers j
are men who before the revolution wore not
Russian subjects. Among them are the follow [
ing given by the London Times.
Trotzky was born Braunstein; he is a German '
born in Wipperfuerth- near Remscheid, in Rhe!
nish Prussia.
Soviet army on the Bielbei front recently was |
commanded by Bloombrg. his chief of staff was j
named Anderson, the political officer of the
army was Kiseltein.
Soviet army on Buzuluk front recently was
commanded by Col. Strombach, an officer of the
German general staff. j
Soviet army near Petrograd last autum was
commanded by a Greek.
Soviet army on Uralsk front recently was
commanded by one Matenbach. an Austrian.
Soviet representative in Finland is Hilletson
The director of Bolshevist propaganda
in Germany is Karl Radek. an Austrian, whose
real name is said to be Sobelsohn or Saselsohn.
The Bolshevist propaganda is Switzerland
is derected by Fritz Platten. a Swiss who has
been naturalized a German. This man is a close
friend of Leine. He helped to organize Lenine’s
journey in 1917 to Russia from Switzerland and
across Germany, he was closely associated with
T.enine when the Bolshevists seized power.
The delegation sent to Germany to treat re
garding prisoners of war is headed by Grossman
and Steinberg.
The head of the Bolshevist propaganda in the
United States according to the N. York World
is S. Nonrteva. a Finn.
The head of the extraordinary commission
against the counter revolution is Peters, a Leth
who lived long in London, where he was con
corned in a murder case.
The Bolshevist commissioner at Vologda in
September 191S' wasEiduk. also a Leth, W'ho
lived in New York City for many years.
Finally our local Bolshevik leader is also an
imported quantity.
Having turned .the slackers loose wiih full
pa> and an apology.the government now release
persons imprisoned under espionage act. From
that Debs need not worry over his ten years'
-entence. He won't serve very long. Secretary
Raker will see to that.
The postmaster general forbids the giving
of postcfRre news to the press but whenever an
examination for more help in whatever form is
scheduled.the department is mighty glad to hav
the date announced ‘‘free gratis for nothing."
