The Bolsheviki. # ?
It has been a little hard for ?
Americans to understand precise- jv1
ly who the Bolsheviki (or Maximalists
as they are coming more p
commonly to be called) are and c<
_i._?. it:- ?S(
wriai in tins tnoio ut ivuooiaii
affairs they really, want.
A dozen years ago, when the V
party first got its name of h
Bolsheviki (which means in Rus- j<
j sian those who demand the most, tl
and of which 'Maximalist" is a C
Latinized equivalent) it was Ic
merely the radical faction of the p
Social Democratic party. To-day G
it is stretching a point to call it b
socialistic at all. The years b
during which the decaying im- a
perial regime disgusted every tl
thinking man with its frivolous si
incompetence, the treachery and
recklessness with which it mis- ~
managed the war, the terrible r
toil of suffering and death its 18
feebleness and corruption exact- .4
ed from the nation, have driven.
the Bolsheviki beyond the point !
where they can reason coollv or
hold themselves to so intellectual tj
a political doctrine as socialism. ..
They are anarchists in feeling if y
not in name; they hate the idea
of any government, unless it be g,
the unbridled rule of the labor- J,
ing class. They insist on the
folly of making any further
??:c. c.? _ ? 1 <T
caenucca xui a imuunai wiudc | Y\
since they care nothing for the; 01
nation as a unity, but only for j w
the interests of their own down-' di
trodden and now suddenly T
emancipated class. s<
The Bolsheviki are by no means 21
a majority of the nation, although ol
by their determination, their pi
assurance and their fervor they n
have gained control of the work- st
men's councils and have spread ai
their spirit far and wide among ai
the people. Among the peasants T
who dwell upon the soil they is
have not yet made great head- ol
way. The struggle in Russia
today is for the support of the
peasants; the future hangs upon
them. Will they follow Kerenski p,
toward a constitutional if social- F,
isiic state, or will they permit K
the Bolsheviki to intoxicate them ^
with the poison of class hatred w
and anarchism? tr
It is almost certain that Russia, es
if it escapes reaction, will es- vv
tablish a government and a social U
system that are much nearer T.
a pure democracy than our tl
federal system. Capitalism and is
industrialism will not" flourish ti
among the Slavs as they'hive cl
flourished in < Western Europe T
and in America. But the it
Bols heviki even if we grant them at
sincerity and a certain inevitability
as a protest against the bi
greed and cruelty of the aristo- rr
cratic regime, are not the sort of p|
men who can establish or govern vj
a State. If they are desperate nr
enough, they can plunge Russia
into civil war, deliver it over to ir
the enemy, and even, con- f
ceivably, bring the czars back to w
the throne. But if Russia, like i g
France, must face its Reign of ti
Terror, there is ho reason to c<
doubt that, like France, it will oi

Record Potato Crop. S\
The railroads are now moving ra
what promises to be the biggest,
potato crop in the history of the j R
country. This crop, which is es- i ?1
timated will total approximately jw
453 billion bushels, or half again ai
as much as last year's crop, has 11
. been on the wsy since the middle:
of September. The movement ^
# of it will continue until about w
April lat, next year. Reports1
received by the Commission on
Car Service, indicate that even i
with intensive loading, more than
750,000 cars will be needed to
handle the potato crop. iw
