The present time in Russia was, the speaker thought, the dark- est hour before the dawn of a better day. In the course of hig lecture, Barou | Korft drew a comparison of the | French and the Russian revolutions, {showing that in very few respects {were the two comparable. He also | compared their leaders referring to [Leutne 4s a man who was "as cold as ice" and whose one concentration Wag on the idea of victory of his |cause. Trotsky was, on the other Ivana, more of the type of a demo- { gogue, The "land hunger" which the speaker had mentioned as one of the | sources of the revolution wae des- | cribed tn detail, the lecturer explain- | ing that the peasants did not have {enough land for their needs and that {the land was owned by the" mobilit of "it ig yours, take it" :the péasants | did as suggested but they soon were disappointed for they found that un- der the commune the land was owned by the commune and hence they did not own it after all. When the peas- ants realized that they were as badly off as ever the government lost con- trol. But, the speaker continued, the peasants were not the only class af- fected in the revolution for the no- bility as such disappeared. They were not all killed, but lost their so- cial cohesion and this is the greatest assurance that the old regime will | aot return. Very vividly the lecturer pictured the results which followed the tak- ing over of the commerce and inaus- try of the country by the Soviet which soon found that they could not get on without the skilled work- ers and owners and after a | months' trial, during which they | ruined the businesses, they appealed to the owners to return and carry on the concerns. The railroads and the army were also pictured, by | Speaker, under the soviet regime and here also the old systems have been returned. The socialist writers have realized that this is certainly not the proper way to bring the millenium. In the Russian revolution, the speak- er stated, there may have been a nucleus of honest men but there were attracted lunatics, ¢riminals and par- asites who destroyed the good efforts of the best men.

Evans' connection | | with that paper ss a writer or to the | reverend gentleman's connection | With Dr. Ross' election campaign. | The public are observant; they know | {what is going on, and they cannot ! {be fooled. They know that Rev. Dr. | Evans has had great power conferred on him by the government which | 1 Dr. Ross and the Standard support. | The returned men --privates and of- | ficers alike--know it, and wonder at [it, and curse the government that | | Permits it, Why ghould not his rev- | {erence show his appreciation of his | | friends by using his pen and his per- | | Suasive eloquence on their behalf ? | Why should he not act as a commit. | tee chairman, or be used to round up | | wavering voters in Cataraqul ward! | Or even write, if he wants to? But, alack and alas, he is repudi- ated in the house of his friends. The | | Standard disowns him. Here man's | {inhumanity to man makes nobody | | mourn, except perhaps the man re- | [pudiated. What a comedy! What a farce for the government party to stage! Little wonder the local lead- are h ing and saying all sorts of things | | about their opponents. In their des- beration, they even go so far as to appeal to Sir Arthur Currie and Gen- eral Sir R. E, W. Turner for letters | of recommendation. Liberals are glad to acknowledge the splendid work | that General Ross did in France; they are proud of his record in the field, and frankly say so. Why, then, all this hysteria; all this shouting for help; all these Macedonian cries? One would almost think that the once great Conservative party itself stood in need of being convinced of something or other. When these two distinguished Canadian generals learn of the use that has been made .of their names and prestige they wil? | Possibly feel none too pleased. But to return to that erstwhile | | friend and collaborator, Rev. Dr. J. | |G. Evans, now discarded and repudi- | ated by the Standard; shall we not shed a tear over his fate; over the | glory dimmed and the power so ruth- lessly snatched away? Or shall we | smile to ourselves and say: "It is to laugh, He will arise again from his fallen estate; he will gird himself for the fray and once more be found | fighting the battles of the Conserva- | tives hand in hand end heart to | heart with those who now so cruelly treat him---when the public js look- | ing on?" The Standard's repudiation could | scarcely further go. It not only reads | { Rev. Dr. Evans out of its columns, | | but it at once strips 'him of his | { churchly degree and his medical de- | gree and reduces him to plain "Mr. J. G. Evans." The Rev. Dr. Evans | should demand an instant apology; | such treatment is intolerable, iniqui- | f 10s. inhuman.
