The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-04-11

Those who claim to be in po-
sition to know make the statement
that the only way to subdue the Boil
shevist is to feed him and this coun-
try is asked to do the feeding. We
are now sending hundreds of thous-
ands of tons of food to Europe tc
feed the people of the countries dev-
astated by war and other thousands
of tons to feed the Bolshevists who
are too busy creating reign of ter
TOR in their own countries and othel
countries to devote a few minutes
of their time towards feeding them
selves or making any effort towards
doing so. This is certainly beau
tiful theory-for the Bolshevist
Last week Hungary openly Joined the
bunch. Bulgaria is reported on the
brink of hopping bodily into the rec
turmoil and Turkey and Germany
also are considering the extreme
beauties of being fed and not pay
ing for it or doing anything for it
but to murder and destroy. In time
perhaps the whole of Europe will be
a vast feeding ground for red flag
gers and anarchists and experts tell
us that the only way to get along
with these people is to feed them
Fatten them up at the expense of the
American people and let them con-
tinue in their efforts to skid the
world to hell. Why feed Europe
first and let our own people take the
husks? BY shifting the seat 'of
our government to Europe are we
now obliged to look for the welfare
of the people of these countries first
regardless of the effect this may
have on our own people? In other
wars it has been the policy to block
ade and deprive the warning nations
of food and the policy has always
been very effective. Why not give
this plan a trial just now? We dc
not object to feeding the deserving
and harrassed people of Europe but
to place premium on anarchy anc
lawlessness is past our comprenen-
sion. What is to hinder the red rag
outfit in this country of demanding
the same treatment and living on the
fat Of the land at the expeI,s, OF
those who are trying to be decent
The eats is what is bothering c,l
siderable number right in our I'M.
mcIiate vicinity just now and work
seems to be necessary in order to eat
Let this Bolshevist class of anti-law
free love, un-American, red flag
ranters get the idea into their noodle
that they will get free feed in orde,
to keep them within the laws anc
life in their immediate vicinity would
be one large fat hell. The worlc
owes every man living but does moi
furnish valet to see that he is fed
All the world demands is a little eff
fort on behalf of the, man himself
This theory of the way to reach the
heart of man is through his stomach
is. fine for brides and newlyweds
Try it with mad dog or hyena anc
see where you get off at. The Boil
shevist is in class lower than tn,
mad dog or hyena. He is supposed
to know better. The proposition
does not look good to us. This fire,
food is going to be some biz
item. AS we understand the prop
osition we are to feed the Boil
shevists without anything in the wa.
of payment, for just as long as the!
continue to Bolshevik, thus relieving
them of the trouble and inconven
fence of providing food and clothing
for themselves in order that the,
may devote all their energies to theil
program of murder and destruction
Call out the firing squad.
