The Brussels Post, 1920-12-2, Page 3RUSSIA UNDER LENIN'S IRON RULE HAS EXCI-IANGED ONE CZAR FOR SIX !Britisher Explains How the Bolshevists Work Their Government. Everyone is asking, "How do the Bolshevists work their Government?" Mr, Haden Guest, one of the some. Metes of the British Labor Delegation t0 Russia, tells the story. The vast poputatiou ot 200,000,000. Is ruled by a minority of 600,000, These 600,000 impose their will upon the 200,000,000 by machinery that is quite novel in the history of revolu- tion. The various villages and workshops are supposed to elect Soviets or Coun- cils. These, in their turn, elect dele- gates to the Annual Congress of Sov- iets, which elects the Central 17xecu- live, from which are selected the Soviet of People's Commissars, or the Cabinet. But the Government is really run by the Bolshevist party, which is in the nature of a close corporation or ex- clusive society. The members must give themselves up to the party body and soul. It fa a sort of military brotherhood run by the Central Committee of the Communist party, which is the primary force of Bolshevism and directs the whole movement. The Central Committee consists of thirteen men—five journalists, two professional revolutionaries, two law- yers, mad four working men. This body really determines who are to be mem- bers of the village and factory Soviets, the Annual Congress, the Central Ere-' cativo, and the Soviet of People's Commissars. Free Speech Banned. In other words, all these oodles are the creatures of the Central Commit- tee. So if you want to "get on" in the Bolshevist world, the great point is to get on the Ceatral Cotnlnittee. Then everything else happens. The Cabinet consists of six men who are really Czars, for they wield terrific power. They are Lenin, Trotsky, Sverdlov, Rekoff, Staaliu, and Tzurupa. The full Cabinet consists of fifteen —three lawyers, three doctors,:. Lwo Journalists, two engineers, one aristo- crat, arid one working man, The Cabinet are bitter revolution- aries, whose slimes have been warped by the atrocities of the old system under the Czar. Consequently, the Bolshevists do not believe in free speech or a„free Press. They do not allow any opposition when they are doing what they think is for the peo- ple's good, lllost of them are not out for money, but enjoy all that money can buy. Her. Guest travelled down the Volga with Sverdlov, who has his own pri- vate steamship, whit% carries a motor- car and a small sailing yacht. Sverd- lov also ]las his own special train, with a special chef of no mean order. Sverdlov told Mr. Guest that he be- lieves in ruthless discipline. If a man gets drunk he is shot! Mr. Guest went to see Lenin, whom he found sttrrollnded by soldiers end disinfectants—tile latter to ward off the deadly typhus, uow so prevalent in Russia. Lenin was very cross with the pea- sants who declined to part with their grain for paper roubles. "They will have to be brought to book by force," he said. Lenin was also very strong on the subject of free speech. He said: "Why should the Government allow itself to be criticized if it feels it is doing right and acting for the good of 'everybody? If the Government is Opposed with rifles, it shoots down the people who are carrying them. An idea is much more explosive than a rifle, Therefore, why allow people to circulate ideas which may interfere with the Govern - meat policy?" Game in Africa. That part of East Africa which is traversedby the "Uganda Railway has long been Noted as a big gams country, but few stay-at-home Britons realize how pleutitul the wild animals are there. A Government official, whose work hos taken him into one of the game proserves writett as follows in The London Post from a camp pitched only four miles from the rail- way and within twenty miles of Nairobi: "As I sit writing in my tent I can see through the door at least four thousand head of game feeding on the plates. There is one group not four hundred yards away.' They consist of wildebeest, hartebeest, Grant's gazelle, Thomson's gazelle, Impale, ostriches, waterbuck, eland and hundreds ot zebra. I'have never seen anything like it in any other part of Africa, and, as you know, I know something of the game districts of southern Rhodesia,, the Belgian Congo, the Tanganyika territory and the Portegese territory near the tenant."

THE BEST MEDICINE FOR LITTLE ONES Thousands of mothers reate posi- tively that Baby's Own Tablets are the best medicine they know of for little ones. Their experience has taught them that the Tablets always do just what is claimed for them and that they can be given with perfect safety to children of all ages. Concerning them Mrs. Joseph Therrien, St, Ga- briel de Brandon, Que., writes: "Baby's Own Tablets aro the beat medicine I know of for little ones. I thought I would lose my baby before trying the Tablets but they soon made him healthy and happy and now I would not be without them." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Out, "The Bible is the only news -book in the world.

In Holland all Christian names after the first are taxed, Minard's Liniment Relieves Distemper Surnames and Their Origin AMES. Variations—Eames, Eines, Yeames. Racial Origin—Anglo-Saxon. Source—A relationship. Family names, of course, are not the result of any scientifically cre- ated system of nomenclature, Orig- inally they just happened, and since then they have merely grown. They were seldom the result of adoption by the persons who bore them. At first they were not used in addressingethe persons who bore them. They were instead descriptive phrases invented on the spur of the moment in the con- versation or writings of other per- sons, to differentiate one John, or Roger, or Peter from another. They stuck and grew not because the bearers liked them, but because the bearers' neighbors found them convenient labels. As a matter of fact, most of the surnames applied to the individual citizens of the Mid- dle Ages did not stick and become family dames as we use them to -day. It was only in the exceptional case that the surname "took" to 'the ex- tent-ef becoming hereditary. On the other hand, so many surnames would be pinned on a family line in the course of several generations that in time one of them was bound to stick and become hereditary. Millions of times the custom must have found expression of distinguish- ing "John the Father" from "John the Uncle," or "John the Cousin." In a comparatively small number of cases such a, surname as "the Uncle" would have stuck sufficiently to become a family name. But then it would be passed' down to an increasing num- ber of persons with each generation. But, at the period when Zanily names were forming in England, the common name :for "uncle" was the old Anglo-Saxon word "eame," which since has become obsolete. But with its original significance lost, it has come down to us in the family names of this group, all of which at first meant "Uncle's Son." CARRROLL. Variations—Charles_, Carlton, Karl - son, Carlson, Karls, Carrel. Racial Origin—English, also French and German. Source—A given name. The given name of Charles, from which a great many family names have sprung in various languages and through various methods of de- velopment, is a humble name, though it has been borne by many kings. It was the name of one of the great- est monarchs the world has ever known. Charlemagne (Charles the Great), at one period in the early Middle Ages built up out of the com- paratively unorganized, antagonistic and unruly Germanic tribes a mighty empire, which embraced virtually all of what to -day is France and Ger- many. But this empire split when death robbed it of the only person- ality that could have held it together. It was the name of many kings in Anglo-Saxon England and among the Germanic peoples of northern Europe at the sane period, and appears in history in a form that was almost a family name at this period many cen- turies before fainly names became general. It was the custom in those days for royal families to take given names which were similar. Thus ono family would show a preponderance of names beginning in "Ed," such as Edward, Edmund and Edwin. Such royal families were commonly refer- red to by the use of the all -embrac- ing ending "ing," which had some- thing both as a tribal and. family sig- nificance. Thus we hear the "Karl - hags" spoken of. The Anglo-Saxon form of the given name was Ccorl, Its meaning is sim- ply "man."

About two years ago T felt poorly, was terribly weak, nervous and run down.

Its trees, among them the stately Douglas fir, which towers 300 feat above the roads over which the traveller glides by auto- mobile, or by the Fsqulmalt & Nanal- mo Railway, which runs northward through half the length of the island, are magnificent beyond description, some of them being 6 or 7 feet in diameter.
