...ogre that is Bolshevism, refused passports to Socialists, rebuked far-away Mexico for communistic tendencies. In Chicago their archenemy, Comrade Charles E. Ruthenberg, master-Bolshevik, eyes hope-haunted with a thousand failures, lay still, died. Throughout the U. S. tiny bands of comrades mourned. "He was," said the Daily Worker, communist newssheet, "the sole outstanding figure who carried over into our party the very best traditions of the pre-War socialist movement.... We expected to write soon that he had gone to prison because of his loyalty to the cause of the workers. . . . But death does not release its prisoners...

With the profoundest respect for Linguistics and for those possessing that aptitude, one is compelled to admit that it is a highly specialized study, and many a man possessing a wide knowledge of English Literature and a sincere appreciation of its beauty has lived and died...
