VIRGIN SOIL
When Liberty goes out of a place it is not the first to go, nor the second or third to go,
It waits for all the rest to go, it is the last!
There is no going back for the Mariannas of Russia. They must go forward, and to-day they are going forward. Honour to them and theirs, to them who, if forbidden by authority to work in the light, are ready again to work in the dark. Honour to that great party with whom their country's liberties have remained─Anonymous Russia!
EDWARD GARNETT.
