THE SOCIALISTS IN ARIZONA.

In Arizona, as everywhere else in the country, the socialists are trying to pull organized labor into their Eanks= At every display of organized labor we read of the fiery and intem- perate language of the socialist lead CTS No matter how hard some of the socialists try to decry and disown the Incorporate language of the red flag brigade" if you take that element from the ranks of the socialists there would be nothing left to attract at tentior.
 In the last issue of the Clifton Cop per Era we read a letter from Dan Lynch and two other declared social ists and recognized leaders of the so- ciaIfst party in Graham county, apol- ugizirg for the language used by sev- srsl socialist lecturers who had been invited to address the socialists of Clifton in an educational way. The Clifton socialists promised that in the future the socialist lecturers who vis- tied the city would be instructed to keep well within the bounds and scope of the fundamental principles of so- ciEiisn, and cut out the violent and deuurciatory language which was re scented by the patriotic citizens of Clifton. We do not know what kind of language the socialists have been using in Clifton, but we can imagine that it was pretty rank when it caused Dan Lynch to revolt against it.
 Lynch has for years been the rec ognized leader of the discontented. He was mixed up in the A. & P. strike good many years ago in Yava- pal county, being one of the men ar rested by the United States marshal and placed in the Prescott jail. Since that he has recognized nothing good in the existing government, but at the same time Lynch is a patriotic citizen, and like many others who call themselves socialists, he may be de- pended upon to pause and consider well before aliying with those who would attempt to destroy the grand old government over which floats the Stars and Stripes, the recognized worid-emblem of liberty.
 In the city of Globe the first day of May was set apart for demonstra- ton on the part of union labor en- ployed there. It seems that the la bor organizations were unfortunate enough to select for their speakers men who have little appreciation for the splendid conditions surrounding Inc wage earners of Arizona. Speak ing of the observation of May Day in Globe, the Silver Belt has this to say:
 May Day was observed as a holi- day by nearly all the people of Globe, business being practically suspended. The day was perfect and there was an outpoaring of people to witness the parade. which was of large propor- tions, twelve hundred being a con- servatiFe estimate of the number of mea in line, comprising representa- lives Of all the local labor organiZa- tions.
 "Ttc occasion should have been a gIII ere. as the conditions were all favorable 10 joyous and harmonious celebration, for certainly in no other country on the face of the earth has isbcr greater reasoff for contentment sha nin Arizona, in no camp in this favored territory than in Globe. But 1t was soon apparent that the social ists dominated the occasion. No American flag was carried in the pro eession, and the band played a pro gram that had been prepared for them from which American patriotic airs were excluded. The speeches breatned hostility to capital, and some of them to the existing government.
 Perhaps 1t is unnecessary to state that the demonstration did not leave a pleasant impression in the minds of conservative American citizens, nor has it the approval of large and in- iuential element in the ranks of local organized labor"
 No party or class can ever hope to succeed in America which would dis honor the American flag or attempt 60 progress without a display of it's glorious colors on asi occasions when The betterment of mankind and the a2holding of liberty and the guaran- te.sing Of freedom are to be subjects of discussion. Those who would sub stitute the red flag so- he Stars and Stripes will never progress very far in this country, and the sooner the socialists cut loose from those who are ready. like Debs and his kind, to take up arms in defiance of the rec
