Thus To Revolutionists. Traitors
And Bolshevists

THE CRUEL MANNER in which Leon Trotsky
was brutally assassinated would not be justified in a mild way to say that the curtains were drawn on his dramatic career, a bloody chapter in modern history of wanton balderdash and unsavory revolt is closed. Trotsky was doubtless the brains that brought to the surface the long smoldering desire of various units covering both Bolshevism and Sovietism for the running out of crowned heads, upsetting the regular order and bringing about a stabilization of dictatorial government. While Stalin got the upper hand in the Soviets, it was left for Trotsky to wander about the earth in exile until he was to finally be joined to the earth at the hand of possibly a member of the secret Russian force whose lot it was to make friends with the late leader for the purpose of perfecting the plans of his death.
Trotsky passes, but the underworld he had a part in making is today menacing the land.
Trotsky too passed in Mexico somewhat in the manner in which he had sent others before him. He leaves behind him warring and restless Europe about which a new day will dawn and a new history will be written.
Strangely fate has designed those to tear up, revolt and hestir to the extent that now circles of destiny are set and new processes obtain in the trend of man.
Trotsky, a man without a land.
