SEEDS FOR THE SOWER

Russia cries, Proletariat! History echoes,
Sans-culotte.

The rule of the Proletariat is another
swing of the pendulum of Time.

Autocracy is a government of the few from
above; Bolshevism is a government of
the few from below.

Society may be likened to a rod, which only
a just government can balance properly.
But we are still trying to find the balancing
point.

Bolshevism is the other end of Czarism.

In a true democracy is the cure for most
of our social and political ills; but a few
of them must remain to keep us going.

A true democratic government is still an
ideal to be attained.
