Assassinations and Terror in Russia
By Editor
Since August 2 there have been eight assassinations, or attempts at assassinations, of public officials in Russia, the last of which was the killing of Premier Stolypin, who has been called "the iron man of Russia." His repressive measures upon revolutionists have been very severe. It is feared by officials throughout Russia that another reign of "red terror" is beginning. We have no defense for the revolution; but the recurrence of conditions of a few years ago may bring Russia to her senses, and lead her to give a little more liberty to her people. The Jews, fearing a new massacre worse than any yet recorded, are fleeing from the country in great numbers. The assassin of Stolypin has admitted that other high officials are marked for death.
