WHERE THE RED FLAG WAVES

of the world, there have been three occurrences recently that
should have attracted, and probably did attract, the attention
of every observer or student of the public trend, or national
psychology. On three occasions recently when the forces OF
anarchy and Bolshevism were parading the streets of that city
under the red flag of anarchy and destruction they have come
in contact with or within sight of the forces of democracy or
ganized-organized to protect government OF the people, Tor
the people, by the people" And how glorious the spirit OF
those Liberty boys!
These forces of destruction were marshalled under the red
flag that symbolizes the tyranny of murder, loot and sab
otage; the tyranny that Trozky and Lenine have imposed
upon Russia, surprising if possible anything the murderous
Turk ever imposed on Armenia or the barbarous Hun inn
posed upon helpless Belgium. No matter what that flag may
have stood for in other times and at rare places, it stands to-
day for murder, and chaos, and destruction, and rapine and
devastation.
And it symbolizes nothing else.
Whatever other meaning it may have had, that meaning
has been effaced or painted out-painted out with the red
blood of the innocent and the helpless. 1t is the common and
recognized banner of the lawless, of the destroyer.
We know full well why the Lenines, the Trotzkys, the
MONEYS and the Haywoods oppose the organization or the
training of an army; why they oppose courts. Courts, officers
and the power of the people organized and efficient, obstruct
their schemes of tyranny and loot.
We know full well why William of Hohenzonern and the
Junkers of Germany spread the propaganda of Bolshevism
wherever they could spread it outside of Germany. 1t was the
only kind of government worse than Prussian militarism, and
they knew that a sight of this would reconcile their own peo-
pie and all other peoples to anything they might wish to inn
pose as an avenue of escape from the MONEYS, the Haywoods,
the Trotzkys and Lenines. And they were wise in their esti-
mate. for there isn't a spot on the civilized portions of the
globe where the rule of the former kaiser and his crowd would
not be welcomed and embraced in preference to the rule that
the MONEYS, the Haywoods, the TrOtzkys and Lenine would
set up. Even benighted Russia has proved this.
But we had in New York recently three demonstrations
Of the fact that the Lenines, the Trotzkys, the MONEYS and
the Faywoods are not going to run this country, at least not
very long. New York has a mayor supported by the Boil
shevik vote, and so he permits them to parade the streets of
that city under the flag that Trotzky waved while still a soap
box orator in that city, before William Hohenzollern alias the
kaiser, sent him to Russia. Sent him to Russia to tell the
Russian masses, who cannot read or write, that tyranny reigns
and Liberty lies a strangled corpse in America, because the
Tom MONEYS and the Bill Haywoods are not permitted to blow
up preparedness parades and s~hipyards and munition factories
and destroy forests and the farmers crops. Because the Hill
stroms are not permitted to burglarize and murder the vic
Tins Of their burglaries. Because the Fords and the Suhrs
are not permitted to destroy hop fields and buildings and live
stock and kill sheriffs and district attorneys without the med
dlesome interference of courts and other officers they had no
convenient opportunity to kill.

This New York mayor permits these reds to parade un-
der their flag until some of the boys that Uncle Sam trained
to fight for democracy see this flag waving where Old Glory
alone has a right to wave, and then there is a scurrying of
the Bolsheviki. On one occasion last week a regiment broke
ranks at sight of one of these parades and all the mayors pO-
lice couldn't stop them until they had finished their job. Now
the mayor has instructed the police to use their weapons and
even machine guns, if necessary, to protect these parades.
even against the boys who are returning in khaki from
France.
And the man behind this Tammany mayor of most conse-
Randolph Hearst.
These figures of population from the United States census
