From the Chicago Tribune.


tee on immigration. who accompanied the Bu-
ford to the three-mils limit when the ship
started on the red exodus, says that Emma
Goldman, Mr.. Berkman, and the other 249 rad-
calls were luxuriously accommodated on the
vessel and were enjoying themselves denounc-
ing the barbarity Of the United States;
money, good clothes, and much baggage. The
destination Of the Buford was not revealed
when it sailed. but the general direction was
back to boleshevism.
Mr.. Berkman, in the course OF his departing
remarks. said that he expected to join Lenine
one OF the several things which might indicate
that the reds were not fully informed, when
thew went away as to all the beauties and reall-
ties of the proletarian revolution.
To Mr. Berkman it is profitable abstrae-
ton. To Mr.. Lenine it is CORY fact, kept a
fact BY healthy, good nat,red young Cinnamon
who have no emotional retcences with regard
to slaughter. We have not heard Mr.. Lenne
asking for any help in the leadership OF the
revolution. His secret service IS reported to be
good.
We imagine Mr. Lenne is getting wireless
report from an agent regarding the amiabe
intentions of Mr.. Berkinan. We imagine him
asking his secretary to make note to have
four healthy. good natured Chinese killers meet
Mr.. Berkman at the dock. A few French ghosts
would be glad to say something to Serkman
if they could find medium. Danton would be
one-unless even ghosts have sardonic pleas
ures and Danton ct al. prefer to watch Mr.
Berkman and grin.
Russia i. not a place Of warm underwear
much money warm clothing, and personal ef-
revolution is cold and starving with little
clothing and with valueless money.
If Mr.. Berkman does not lose his head he
will lose his fannels. The comrade will not
want to shock the shivers of the patriots by
remaining comfortable in his warmth. Neither
although it is not the season. They will moi
want to keep their sound currency when SC
much soviet money is to be had at the pre-
vailing rate Of exchange.
The essential of American bolshevism /:
that the condition of society attacked shall re-

cannot have warm underclothing and plenty o
money unless this dastardly society produce:
and protects. They can have warm principles
They need to assault but not to succeed
Our ruddiest red would become ashen if he
thought that the next speech would bring the
revolution. Mother Jones has the right idea
She says she is bo1shevist but they can't sene
her where bolshevism is. The reds in New
York who have not yet been taken into custody
for deportation attacked the Ellis Island ferrs
the other day in an attempt to release the rad
| Gals still held in detention. When Goldman
and Berkman were ordered out they appealed
to the courts.
They want society as organized to protec
them in their rights. Their rights are the rights
they attack, protected by the institutions the,

We are not barbarous We hope Berkma:
is not met by the healthy, good natured young
Chinese, who think good deal less of human
head than of chicken head. We hope Emm;
keeps her underwear. We hope that the rela
