BoLsHEvIsM AND THE A. F. OF L.

IT is evident that the bolshevists of Seattle
were not thoroughly cowed by the failure OF
their attempt to seize the city few months ago.
The refusal of the local 'longshoremen's union
to load shipment Of arms intended for Siberia
shows this, as does still more strongly the ac-
ton of the central labor council Of the city In
backing this action
Some object to the use of American troops In
Russia because we are not at war with the peo-
pie of that country, because the men are
fighting so far away from home in war that
does not concern us. But these Seattle long
shoremen, we may rightly conclude from their
actions and that of other Seattle workers IN
the former labor troubles, are opposing the
shipment of arms to Siberia because the arms
are to be used against the bolsheviki. They are
acting as did the Italian bolshevik dock work
ers that refused to allow arms and food OF even
medical supplies to go forward to forces that
are fighting the "reds'' of Russia.
We can have none of this in the United States.
Bolshevists are foes of this country and her peo-
pie, and they must be put down with complete
ness and despatch This is government OF law
and order. not of license and riot No others OF
those opposed to the use OF American boys IN
Siberia would carry their opposition SO far as
this. They will obey the government and sup
port the American soldiers that are in Russia
so long as they are there They will seek to
achieve their aim of getting the boys out of the
former empire of the car by bringing the pres
sure of public opinion to bear upon the proper
officials by influencing congress to order the war
department to bring them home. The failure
of these arms to arrive may mean death to some
of our brave boys and the stand Of the long
sboremen thereby would become indirect muir
der
It appears to be about time tnat the Amer
can Federation of Labor take some action
against such bolsheviki. Unless it does it will
lose the influence and prestige it now has both
in and out Of the ranks of the workers and will
fall into decay These Seattle men are not true
union men, They are the worst foes labor has
But as yet the bolsheviki are not IN the ascend
ancv in the ranks of the Federation, and little
wholesome discipline might bring them to their
senses, The solid, substantial citizenship OF the
country is against bolshevism in all It's forms
The Federation therefore by allowing such ebu-
littions of anarchy in its ranks faces two dan
gers 1t runs the risk Of disruption Of its forces
by decent, sensible workers who will not ally

Every believer in the authenticity
Of the Holy Bible acknowledges thai
God literally spake to Adam, Enoch
Noah, Abraham, Jacob and Moses
and that specific revelation was given
to Israel during the time of the
Judges, and on to David and Solomon
thence to John who was the immediate
forerunner Of the Messiah. The actual
ity Of Divine revelation through duly
constituted prophets, seers, and reyela
tors, has been so generally accepted
throughout the ages, and is so abun
dainty attested, that by all rules OF

proof naturally and properly falls upon
him who denies.

Revelation is Gods means of com

AS rode in the early dawn
While stars were fading white
/ saw upon grassy slope
campfire burning bright;
With tent behind and blaze before
Three loggers in row
Sang all together 5oyously-
Pull up the stakes and go!
AS rode on by Eagle Hawk,
The wide blue deep Of air,
The wind through the glittering leave
The flowers so sweet and fair,
The thunder of the rude salt waves
The creeks soft overflow,
All Joined in chorus to the words
Pull up the stakes and go!
Now by the tent on forest skirt
By odor Of the earth,
BY sight and scent Of morning smoke,
BY evening camp-fre's mirth
BY deep-sea call and foaming green,
By new stars CLEAN and glow,
Bv summers trails in antique lands
Pull up the stakes and go!

One Language For the Odd Fellows.
Des Moines Capital: The sovereign
grand lodge OF Odd Fellows recently
in session in Baltimore passed reso-
luton requiring compliance with its
wartime order for the absolute pro
Inhibition of any language excepting
English in their lodge meetings and
in the ritual. This action was con.
CURED in by all the affiliated bodies,
including the Patriarchs Militant and
the association Of Rebecca assem-
blies.
When the grand sire ordered dis
continuance Of the German language
last year 1t meant the retirement Of
a number of German lodges, or else
it meant their changing from German
to English. Now that the sovereign

fifty years there has been German
