No. 45 TOO MANY CBOOICS SPOIL THE BROTH ■ The old adage anenL, th^ mills of God is* again being exemplified in Russia' where certain persona intimately oon- nectod with the murder of the late Czar and his family jippear to be, likely to suffer a similar fate, unless they are more lucky'than they'deserve. Not so long ago "a purge" of some years was concluded, which reduced the number of Bolsheviks from something over 3,000,00 to 1,400,000, and now another ojie is ,in progress. Hundreds of infiuential citizens have been ai'i'ested, aiid, as one reads of what is going on, one wonders whether those who want^ to establish a Soviet Government , in'Canada are still as enthusiastic about its l^enefits.

A man here and there may be unselfish, but the great majority -ai e hot. A Lincoln may talk of government*by the people for ; the people and*'individually intend to follow that policy,, but •'by lime.his followers in office haVe had their say it has beebme- lii^ jno re than an exnejlent slogan to catch votes. ' ■ . , ...J There are two essential rules for successful government, the first,' of course, that a government must be obeyed, and- the second that it is the bounden^duty of that government - toact as parents to the governed^with all'that'impliesf 'Natur--- ally, the second is by far the mostjimportant, b'ecauseTqr one -thing-it guarantees the,, first, but unfortunately except in a.
