OF the Paris Municipal Council and be-
came its president. In 1875 Mont
martre elected Inn to the Chamber Of
Deputies and he took the leadership Of
the Radicals. One must recall that
royalism and imperialism still had
hopes then IN France and members in
the Parliament TO intrigue for their
causes and plot TO overthrow the re-
public. The Tiger. for one, stood UNI
compromisingly in their way. His
vision of a glorihed resurgent France
meant a free democratic France.
Thenceforward he was consecrated to
labor in that field.
He began writing for the press, and
his style, reinforcing sound democratic
thought with irony and satire and all
in absolute fearlessness, made friends
in plenty for his cause and made him
enemies as well. In 1850 he founded
La Justice, strong daily paper with
fine staff. His first successful at
tack was on the Fourtou- Broglie Min
istry, which he overthrow. A curious
thing was that while he was practi-
cauy the first to take up Gen. Bou-
LANCER as perhaps the man destined
to lead France to the revanche, he
afterward, finding the evil roots of tho
gang who were exploiting the really
thick headed soldier, led the attack on
him and drove him to the miserable
end of his story. 1t was a very ag-
gresSive Clemenceau gradually finding
his balance. He stood against the
treaty with Russia as a political inn
possibility. Ministries fell before his
onslaughts. He urged the separation
or Church and State. In 1898 he fell.
His enemies massed charges that he
was mixed up in the Panama scandals
and other grating enterprises, but all

found simply that he was honest and

AGITATORS.

Most every town is cursed with the
%bolsheviki element, who appear to be
against everything in the way Of prog
ress.
They express their views in various
ways. Some use the soap-box meth
cd on the corner, where they harangue
the crowd on the wrongs being
inflicted by the party in power on the
innocent and unsuspecting public. Ev-
cry time we hear one of them it al
ways reminds us of the toy balloons
on celebration day-when they are
blown up with hot air and you release
the check valve the air is expelled
in a loud and discordant sound. We
have often wondered if, like the bal
loon, a pin or sharp instrument were
applied to the rear anatomy of the
agitator, if he would not collapse with
a loud report, and be no more.
And there is the sly, smooth guy,
with the lend me your ear" attitude,
who calls you aside and confides in
you confidentially, with the express
purpose of making a sort of "endless
chain" Of you to spread the propagan-
da of their evil bolsheviki tendencies.
Of the two evils, if we must have
them, we would prefer the former,

ded to the essential Drawn of the ma
ton. and have done an inestimable
work for our material progress.
But when aliens, from any land,
come here in numbers too great to be
assimilated, when they remain chiefly
u~nnaturalized, and when they form a
majority of the men engaged in some
of our most important industries, they
become a serious ena to u in
dustrial and social welfare.
The statement was made at the be-
ginning of the steel strike, by the OPP
orators. that the majority of those who
went on strike at the Indictment of
the admitted revolutionists, Foster,
were aliens. This was denied, but the
denial was not as convincing as the
original charge, which was backed up
with statistics.
1t is authoritatively reported that
in the steel and iron industry a ma
iority of all workmen are aliens. The
same is true of bituminous coal min
ing. of wooden mills, cotton mills and
t%anneries, of slaughter houses and the
meat-packing houses, of oil %refiner-
les and sugar refineries, and of cloth
ing factories and furniture factories.

These are all great industries, and in

These are all great industries, and in
all of them more than so per cent of
the workers are foreign-born.
Moreover, of these aliens the great
majority remain aliens, showing no
disposition to become n~aturalized citi-
zens. Recent c%anvassing showed that
in 112 large representatives establish
ments, in different industries, only
31.4 per cent of the aliens were natur-
allied, 3.S per cent more had declared
their intention of becoming n%aturaliz-
ed. and more than a per cent remain
ed unnaturall"ed.
The proportion of aliens remaining
u~nnaturalized varies greatly accord
ing to their origin, Of Bulgars, Croats,
Greeks, Mexicans, R~oumanians, Serbs
and S%paniards, more than ninety per
cent remained unnaturaliZed. Of Ar
menians, Hungarians, Italians and
Russians, more than 70 though less
than 80 per cent remain alien. Of
Austrians, Bohemians, Canadians,
Firms, French and Polish, so per cent
or more, though less than 70 per cent
retain their foreign allegiance. Of
English, Germans and Irish, from 80
to less than so per cent remain I'M
naturalized. The only n~ationalities Of
Importance of which less than 80 per
cent remain alien are Norway, 81 per
cent, and Sweden, PA per cent.
We do not believe that it is a good
thing for these men themselves to
remain unnaturalized aliens in the
land where they are making their
homes and earning their living. We
are certain that it is not a good thing
for this country, industrially, socially
or politically, to have them do SO. 1t
must be remembered that millions Of
them are unable to read or write-at
any rate, to read or write the Eng
lish language. Therefore, the only in
formation they can get concerning
the laws of this country, or concern
ing the issues in any economic con-
troversy, is that which they get from
hearsay or through the dubious med
ium of the foreign language press. 1t
would be a miracle if such men were
not too often susceptible Of being mis-
led by the designing agitators and in
triguers.
There are few more urgent duties
before the nation and it's governments,
national, state and municipal, than the
Americanization of this unassimilated
mass, and the regulation of further i'm
migration so as to avoid further in
crease of the evil. 1t is one thing for
a country to be an asylum for the OPP
pressed and a land of opportunity for
those who seek to better their lot. 1t
is another and a very different thing
for it to be made an international
dumping ground, or a Tom Tiddler's
ground for alien exploitation.-Har-

WESTERN BEET SUGAR.

The papers are full of sugar short
age stories and state that the western
beet sugar crop will soon be pouring
in to relieve the situation.
Whether there is a real shortage
as critical as some would have US
think or whether the whole scarcity
was brought on by the move to prose-
cute profiteers in different lines of
industry we do not know.
The main point brought out which
interests westerners is the fact that
due to increased consumption of SUI
gar there is no prospect of produc-
ton increasing faster than demand.
Probably nc section of the world
has the opportunity to develop the beet
sugar industry to such a degree as
western states.
No stone should be left unturned to
encourage this industry at this time
as it is a land developed, a valuable
adjunct of stock business and a great
employer of labor, not to mention be-
ing a community builder.
Rapid development of the candy
industry in western states is a direct
result of u sugar industry and with
the elimination of the special five per
cent excise tax o. candy this industry
would grow more rapidly than ever.

TOWNLTYIsM GIVEN A JOLT.

The closing by the state bank ex-
aminer of the Scandinavian Bank of
Fargo last week not only exposes the
high financial exploits of Big Chief
Townley, but also puts a crlmp in his
endeavor to gain supremacy OF North
Dakota and other states, says the Fer
gus County Argus of Lewistown. IT
ever a rotten condition existed in a
bank, the Scandinavian outrottens any
of them, according to the examiners
report.
Governor Frazier, the bone-headed
puppet of Townley, has come out IN
a statement criticjsing the action OF
the bank examine. Some things hap
pened at Bismarck last week, however,
which indicated that this nincompoop
governor was getting afraid OF the
chances his boss was forcing him to.
take and that he. top, might rebel.
But he hasn't yet done so.
The Bank of North Dakota, which
a organized under a Townley man
ufactured law, is also mixed up in
the deal, as are seven or eight other
banks of the state.
Townley's kept newspapers, which,
in Montana, do not carry enough ad-
vertising to pay for the paper they
are printed on, have all raised a howl
against the bank examiner, and de-
clare it is nothing but a political
DEAL"
We sincerely hope that the intelli-
gent portion of the membership of the
N~onpartisan league have long since
discarded the admonition of the big
boss to read nothing else but ToWnley
papers. In issuing that edict Town.
ley might just as we'll have asked in
telligent men to put out both eyes. We
hope they will read the news reports
of this bank tangle which L being
SEM out by the Associated Press which
is simply a news organization, dealing
in nothing but straight Jews. 1t will
open their eyes.

THE TOWNLEY SENTENCE.

In these days of Reds and Radical
ism the sentence of Townley and Gil
bert, North Dakota Nonpartisan lead
ers, convicted of the charge of "con-
spiracy to teach disloyalty," attracts
little attention.
The sentence was for three months
each in Jail, no alternative of paying
a fine, and sixty days suspension Of
their original bail.
Judge Dean in handing down the de-
cision threw out the old fashioned idea
that "any organization built on false
hood will not long endure"
Answering statements from the
Nonpartisan league attacking the in
tegrity of the court and the character
of the jury, Judge Dean said:
"Never in the history of the jury
system, was a more honest and i'm
partial jury empanelled in any crimi-
nal case. 1t is outrageous that any
person who was present and saw the
farmer jury should accuse these men
of dishonesty.
at appears that no one connected
with the trial was pure and undefiled
except the defendants and those as
sociated with them"
These political leaders should be
allowed to quietly serve their terms
and then go at some honest work for
a living.
