are hurting to the winds boomerang which
must inevitably return to destroy them and
all they represent. The American people,
though patient, long suffering, easygoins,
good natured and tolerant, are not yet ready
to hand over the control OF the greatest city
Of their majestic land to Prussisn po.tsu
or Russian dreamers. They are not goingb

pitiful pratte of peace ard international
brotherhood falls upon deaf ears, for inter.
nationalism cannot be anything but fraud
and farce now that Germany has filed the
world with hate, bitterness and woe, the
effects Of which will last on through the een-
turtles. Morris Hillquit may dazzle his dupe
with the rosy dreams OF a cooperative con.
monwealth, an industrial paradise, with 1
Teutonic saloon with free beer on every cor.
ner and a debating hall for Brownsville
orators on every block; and the racial unis
to which he appeals for support and syn
pathy are welcome to their paradise and
may revel therein, but there no decent self.
respecting American Socialist will ever enter
Only by the elimination of racial prejudice
and the obliteration of racial lines and an
tagonisms can the dream of Socialists Be
realized. Morris Hillquit, by refusing 10 sup
port the American people in this supreme
hour of national trial, has struck a deady
blow at socialism and internstionalisn, and
by his unpatriotic attitude has intensified
those racial sntagonisms which 1t was his
duty to mollify and combat. He has made
himself and his supporters who fed 70 these
friendly shores from exploitation ana oY-
preston in other lands appear not as CRATE
full guests Of our hosptable country, Shsn
they have received shelter, protection s's
the boon of liberty and freedom, but ni
swarm of hungry locusts deyouring ah
their path and giving nothing in return.
Perchgnce the Socialist candidate !"
Mayor has pictured himself standing on ne
steps of the City Hall, welcoming the kasr
and his invading hordes, while the Prussn
Imperial Guard goose steps up brosdSa!
from the Battery, 20 the cheers OF the ADM.
ing Bolsheviki and the cultural "hochs' o.
the editors of the German language p1es
and their enthusiastic compatrots.
A wild dream, you may say, but not drsss
that is wholly beyond the possibilities o.
realization if treason and sedition, under n'
euise Of political and economic camouhsgt
are allowed to spread unchecked Let ne
public once more arouse itself and keep
watchful eye on this anti-AmerieGn move
ment. and let the government worry less
about such small fry as Haywood and ni
