CORRECT ENGLISH
At THE UNIVERSITY
ERRORS IN SPEECH ON CAMPUS
NOW PUNISHED BY WEARING
OF PENALTY TAGS

Both undergraduates and members
of the faculty at the University OF
Idaho yesterday exercised care in the
use of pronouns, verbs and other COM
ponent parts of the mother tongue.
They also attempted to ''can the
slang" as freshmen, armed with
English department tags, seized every
opportunity to pin their badges of
linguistic ignominy on those who
made grammatical errors or who in
Judged in -Websterian expressions.
Few persons survived the day untag
ged.
"This particular observance of the
better English movement said DR.. g.
M. Miller, head of the university Eng
lish department, is only a part Of that
sweeping anti-foreign tongues, Am
ericanization program which has so
assisted teachers of English in in
stilling a wholesome respect for this
common social cement of ours, this
repository of all our ideals, the Eng
lish language. The ultimate object of
this movement is to make the English
speaking peoples as language -consci-
Gus as are the French, who know their
own tongue with thorough going ex-
actness which astounds the average
American"
Lists of the more serious mistakes
reported by freshmen observers will
be published in the University Agron-
aut, official undergraduate weekly.

beautiful form of man

"We hate religion because it lulls

PLAN TO OVERTHROW
OUR GOVERNMENT
RUSSIAN BOLSHEVISTS IN THE
UNITED STATES WORKING
WITH RADICAL UNIONISTS

That the steel strike and the coal
miners strike were but parts of a
general plan originating in Russia to
overthrow the government of the
United States and create a soviet
government here, which means an
archy, absolute absence of law and
order and the same kind of mob rule
as Russia is suffering, cannot be
doubted in the face of discoveries
made in the recent raids by federal
authorities on the headquarters of the
"reds" in the United States. The
literature seized is the most inflam-
matory and anarchistic ever circulated
in the United States and if an Ameri-
can newspaper were to publish it in
full, as a news item that paper would
be excluded from the mails, it is an
nounced. The following report gives
threatened and still threatens the
United States government unless
drastic means are used to suppress
these lawless agitators who are work
ing with the organized laborers of the
United States and sowing seeds of
bolshevism, I. w. W.ism and anarchy
in the ranks of labor. The Associated
Press account of that part of the pro-
paganda that can be published, fol-

What Was Being Planned
Included among the documents
seized, all Of which are printed in
Russian, is the s'Novoman risky Man
ifesto of Anarchists" This publica-
ton, the most recent put out by the
union, was said by Mr.. Garvan to be
the most dangerous piece of propa-
:ganda ever disseminated by any radi-
cal organization in the United States.
The manifesto outlines the purpose
of the movement inaugurated by the
union as complete destruction of
private control of natural resources
and capital and complete destruction
of power of rule and the institutions
invested with powers to enforce rule
of one man over another"
Under the caption of ssWhat should
be our means of carrying on the
fight" the manifesto says: "What
must we do, the vanguard of the
proletariate
eve must consistently hasten the
elementary movement of the struggle
of the working class; we must con-
vert small strikes into general ones
and convert the latter into armed re-
volt of the laboring masses against |

A FOUR HOUR DAY
IS LATEST DEMAND
/. w. w. PLAN TO FORCE "MIDDLE
CLASS" TO A LOWER LEVEL
IN THIS WAY.

i SPOKANE.-How the l. W. W
planned, through the instrumentalit.
of the four-hour day, to drive tn,
middle class down into the proletariat
or Submerged TENTH" in order to gail
their revolutionary ends, is revealed IL
copies of the last Lumber Workers
bulletin, published in Spokane anc
seized by the police Wednesday.
The idea, in brief, is to force the
bourgeoise, or middle class, down tt
the level of the proletariat, in order
to embltter it as "slave class
against the capitalistic system, thus
fastening the revolution.
The article entitled "The four-hour
day will dispose of the middle class,
is perhaps the most audacious piece
of philosophy as yet uncovered by
the police.
"The countless little stores, the mil
lions of INDECENT farmers the over
crowded ranks of the professionals
and fintellectuals,' all with bourgeoise
ideals and interests, form the greatest
obstacle to proletarian success" says
the bulletin. "Witness Germany and
France today, incapable of revolution
ary action because of the powerful
powerful middle class.
"They are splendid fighters. They
inherit the American traditions" the
publication continues. "They are the
people, the public the good citi-
zens, the business men, the so-called
'disinterested third party Both
Roosevelt and Wilson primarily,
many of the foremost periodicals like
The Nation The New Republic as
well as most religious journals, rep
America.
Here's The System.
The four hour day removes the
middle class by two processes.
"First, it will give them remunera-
tive employment. The peanut mer-
chant and the struggling peasant
farmer will gladly abandon the long
hours and uncertain returns of their
present existence to enter the ranks
of the four hour day workers with
bountiful and assured incomes. Many
of the middle class were former
wage-earners driven out into bust
ness by unemployment and conse-
suent low wages of the capitalist
system or lured by petty ambitions
to rise In the world.
ga second fact under the four hour
day which would automatically abol-
ish the middle class, is the inability
of any small capitalist to make prof
its with such reduced working hours
and consequent high wages. None but
the most efficient and concentrated
could possibly survive.
The trusts would be driven at tremen-
lous speed.
"The four hour day would remove.l
the middle class obstacle to wage
lass development both positively and
negatively, positively by supplying
hem with new jobs and negatively
~ depriving them of their old means

"In other words, the four hour plan |
S in line with historic development.
It forces the capitalist system of
to its final form, that
orm in which the very few stand
'penly against the very many, the

Crowley, who grabbed the pass re-

to Idaho's forward passing, and
