|WHAr WASHINGTON
WOULD BE UNDER
BOLSHEvIST PLAGUE

to in anywise criticiSe or resist the
destructive DEGREES that Went 1orth
from the White House would be to
WOO and court death by torture at
the hands of blood-mad, red-fag-
singing throngs who, carried on and
on, the impelling forces of their mood
would pillage. loot and burn
under the dictation of these disheV-
eled leaders. Homes on 18th street
and other sections of the city where
the more well-to-do dwell, the homes
of the "bourgeofse." all would be tar
gets for the thief and the man with
the reeking sword. Furnishings would
be destroyed, cherished possessions
seized and such other things as the
reveling mobs might desire carried
away.
No Property Immune.
Remember this-if the theories Of
Russia were applied, private property
of the poor man, possibly the savings
of years. no matter how humble. ana
pies would suffer like fate. Prop
erty" in Russia suggests "bour-
geoise." Bourgeoise is hated WORD
there. When rifed and gutted the
torch might be applied to thousands
of homes by the frenzied mobs. In
all districts of the city where now
there is pride in property. where
homes now are serene and quiet.
there would be ashes, tumbled stones
and crimson stains.
Wives of Washington would be
common property Of lustful throngs.
There is no respect for womanhood in
the bolshevism Of Europe. whereas
womanhood is hel ID at highest pre-
MUM in America under present cir
cumstances. Soon after establishing
themselves within the revered old
rooms of the White House there soon
would go forth DEGREES similar to this.
if they were patterned after those
that have been issued in Russia:
"On and after the - instant all that
is necessary to lay aside your wife or
your husband is to designate your dis
pleasure with that individual by sign
communal property. They are the
property of the state. to be used by
the state as it may sec 1T"
Fate of All Womanhood.
And in using the women Of Wash
ington for the benefit of the state.
leaders of this red gang, to the salts
faction of all their baser instincts.
fattened by the DEGREES Of Lenin and
Trotsky, would consider themselves
the state.
Matthews uybor, WA loya would hn ~
OF unknown demons.
Little sisters would become the
common pets Of diabolical. lust mad
fiends, to be passed here and there
through the motley array Of anar-
chists as pleasure and whim might
dictate.
Fathers who might dare to resist
would be carried away to the Mall or to
the Ellipse. there to be burned at the
stake, crucified or shot down, their rid
died and mutilated bodies to be piled
up as SO much cord word and later cart
choking Potomac river.
The woman who would lead. who
would rule supreme and be most re-
spected by the bolshevists would be the
woman suggesting the character and
color Of the flag under which she and
her cohorts would operate. In measure
Of her scheming. in measure Of her Graf
tiness, in measure OF diabolical sugges-
tion Of new forms of cruelty, would she
find favor in the eyes and minds Of So
ers sitting in the White House.
Churches Would Be Defled.
defiling mobs and through. there to desc
can desecrate. Affairs would be the piv-
otal spots Of hideous defamation. Pews
would be smashed and unholy inscrip-
tions written beneath the figures Of Him
who died to save the world from the
very thing that was happening. There
would be no church services except
those patronized and inspired by the
ring leaders OF the continued orgy. Sur
yiying creeds would be the doctrines OF
perdition. The revered fathers who nBw
pastors Of the Protestant churches, who
might raise hand to stay the flood
tides of sabotage would be tramplod
beneath foot. their heads and mangied
cons to those daring to oppose the ad-
vance Of anarchy's new order.
Fate Of Public Schools.
The schools Of Washington. which
have wonderful repute in all nations:
thought: would be institutions where
deviiish cunning could be practiced.
where minds would be poisoned
against present ideas Of art, literature
and science. The only art that would
prevail would be the art of perverting
influence. All literature would be but
screeds Of the anointed leaders Of
bolshevism, and science would be that
OF destruction. He who best taught.
who believed most in the doctrines of
the demagogues at the White House.
would be the teacher most favored.
Here the minds Of our generation and
future ones would receive the blight
Of satanic preachments.
The favored followers of the powers
Of seditious might would be the ones
prodting most by the disordered eco
nomic. social and industrial interests
Of the city. Business would die a. q
spring flower under the witherfnE
blight Of heavy frost.
Hunger Would Stalk In Wake.
All stores would be seized for the
Communal good: business operated
to the exclusive interest of those who
best slew, best burned or who best
strove to inculcate into the minds OF
peoples the damaging gospels Of chaos
as exemplified by current action. Soon
store shelves would become vacant.
The interests once condemning the
hoaHding Of food would stock all pre-
empted residences while the greater
portion of the population of Washing
ton would be left to hunger.
