RECLAMATION OF WHAT
DOI8HHvua MEANS

A few days ago there passed through
Chicago a molly collection Of much
bewhiskered gentry, whom the secret
service man had acquired on the Pacific
coast and who were en- route to Ellis
Island, preparatory to leaving the eoun-
try forever. The guests Of this per-
sonally conducted tour proudly claimed
to be I. W. W.'s. While guilty of sev-
eral things, it would be impossible to
convict Of any one of them Of con-
tributing to the Red Cross fund and
other similar objects, or Of buying any
Liberty bonds OF W. s. 8. The charge
Of any suspicion of having tried to earn
an honest living or contributing in any
manner to the welfare Of the communi-
ty, does not rest against them. Their
acts are all negative and destructive.
1t Is possible that genius like Mar
conf, if he could bring the sun down
and use it in massive X-ray machine
and turn it loose on this bunch of
trouble makers, might be able to dis
cover that one or two were only I. W.
WIS and not Bolsheviki. But, to the
average man, it is impossible to see
any difference. They are eminently
and decidedly undesirable citizens"
Their deportation then, under conditions
which make it hopeless for them ever
again to enter this country, is some.
thing which should give intense salts
faction no matter how high or humble
ones position in life. If there is any
one who thinks otherwise, he or they
will bear watching.
However discontented one may be
with his lot, Il Il ineoneeivsble II
he should see any hope or relief in tho
teachings of Bolshevikism, which chops
down the tree to get an apple. Even
in Russia, the man who casts his lot
with them is mercilessly tortured or as.
sassinated tomorrow. There is nothing,
absolutely nothing, with which to fore
east their action, for they have no plan
except that Of wanton destruction, in
the performance of which they live
from day to day on the spoils Of the
moment. Their announced purpose that
"the whole world should be burned
over" carries not one word Of hope
for any better condition to arise from
the ashes. And they have none.
It, therefore, behooves every man
who believes in an honest life, or has
ever so small room with wife or chill
dren, or owns even few pieces Of
cheap furniture, or house, to set his
face resolutely against anything and
everything which bears the faint of Boil
shevism. From the days Of earliest
history until the present moment, Of all
the strange and unnatural revolutions
which have occurred, none save Boil
shevism but has had some purpose to
achieve which at least claimed to i'm
iprove conditions for the few or many.
Some of these were sincere, though
mistaken; some well founded; many
impossible; yet they all had some goal
which held out the hope ond chance Of
something better. Even Captain Kidd s
bloody pirates slaughtered and robbed
to secure an ultimate life Of ease and
plenty for the captain and the crew
where they could live. in peace. If one
