THE l. W. w.

We have noted that three Montana
newspapers that r received at our
office are, az tactfully as possible, de-
Tending the right of the l. w. w. in
the state of Washington to murder
returned soldiers. W. do not read all
of the Montana newspapers and there
may be more that are taking this same
attitude, but we sincerely hope not.
These newspapers ask why blame the
I. w. w. organization for the Cen
tarlia riots; for have not other organ
crimes just as bad? Had not men,
bers Of the American Legion, espec-
tally the commandant of the Centralia
Post, on many occasions shown their
hostility to the l. w. w. crowds? Was
not the provocation great?
Ye Gods! A column of unarmed
men, who had offered their lives that
these same Wobblies might have an
opportunity to live in peace and con-
tentment in a free land, parade on a
holiday on the streets of their home
city, parade in commemoration Of the
day that the world war was ended and
their return to their homes and fami-
lies made possible, and these Sinking
ours arm themselves and in their own
meeting place, gather and fire into this
body of unarmed men and kill four of
their number. And then these despic-
able Red Flag followers weak kneed
and weak spined confess to their crime.
These same Montana newspapers
question their Connection with the out
rage. They %insinuate that by public
condemnation of their acts we are
but making more socialists, more I. W.
w., more agitators. If such be the
case let us make them fast. Let us
get the ordeal over with. Let US bring
the wretches out of their hiding places
and have the issue settled. For in all
frankness, are the filthy carcasses of
all the red flag agitators in the coun-
try worth the life of one returned
veteran of Americas war?-Scobey
Sentinel.

One days investigation into affairs
at Ellis Island disclosed, on the best
official authority, that there is no
adequate examination of immigrants
to exclude the diseased, insane and
criminal; that for lack of guards many
aliens have escaped from the island
into New Jersey; that the Washington
government forbids the guards to be
armed even when they are dealing
with criminal anarchists; and that in
stead of being %deported, undesirable
aliens" are released on bail or parole
Indefinitely, to resume their pernicious
and criminal activities. Many of the
"Reds" brought hither from Seattle
were released on bond and parole un-
der orders from Washington. Many
aliens who are denied admission tt
this country are not sent back but are
permitted to enter New York City
where they disappear" Apparently
it might be we'll to transfer the invest
igation from Ellis Island to Washing
ton, D. C.-Harvey's Weekly.

Glasgow city officials assisted by
Fuel Director l.. E. Jones, have made
a most creditable record for them
selves so far in the handling of the
coal crisis. A complete survey of
every pound of coal in the city has
been made and figures are ready at
hand so that the fuel administrator
can tell at a moments notice, just how
much coal the city has left as a re-
serve. During the past few days the
city has been kept going from day to
day by the untiring efforts of these
men. Every effort is being made to
secure cars of coal from every avail
able source and up to the present we
have heard of no case Of suffering.
These men deserve the highest praise
for their untiring and unselfish efforts
in behalf of the public, which they are
serving so we'll. In many of the larger
cities of the state the situation has
not been handled so we'll and at Butte
and Billings there has been much
suffering among the poorer people.

From all over the world a
readiness from the people to receive
the larger Gospel message. There is a
demand inside and outside the church
that they eliminate inner conflict and
unity it's forces for a great evange-
listic and ethical revival of heartfelt
religion. Such consolidation would
mean respect for the church of Christ.
The world wants less of Churchianity
and wants to see the teachings of
Christ in practice. Let's have a little
more orthodoxy Of practice as well as
orthodoxy of dogma! World powers
are impotent. Old ideals have failed.
Russia is today a spectacle of COM
munism without Christ. The Inter-
church World movement is a long step
on the part Of the American church
toward the only adequate answer to
the worlds need that can be effective,
a worldwide evangelism, the preaching
of the Gospel to every nation.

TWO PICTURES
1t is said that the Apaches had Fl

1t is said that the Apaches had five
words for murder, not one for love.
A recent analysis Of soviet litera-
ture is said to show ten words for de-
struction, only one for constructions;
six words for communism, only n
for patriotism.
B~olshevism, according to linguistic
analysis, yields many words meaning
pain, agony, torment, fear, awe, sad
ness, hunger, tears, distress, misery,
Imprisonment adversely, calamity,
disaster, and confiscation.
B~olshevistic writings also yield
many words meaning bereavement,
widow, orphan, doom, death, grave,
and punishment.
We also find the following words
Astounding in soviet literature; revolt,
masses, classes, seize, destroy, burn,
demolish, blow up, ard finally: "In
the work of destruction we must be
merciless."
Americanism abounds in such words
as love, brotherhood, home, country,
protection, sympathy, pity, fellow
feeling, compassion, charity, friend,
country, God, progress, assistance,
hope.
The conditions portrayed by words
are as true to life as the negative is
to that upon which the camera was
focused. Take your choice.-Walla

FOR THE CHILDREN
IN NORTH DAKOTA

A list was published in the papers
this week of an invoice of books pur-
chased last month for the state circu-
lating libraries. You want to look up
the list and read it. That's sure one
helluva fine bunch of literature for
the youngsters to read. Among the
list is ten books on Glass Struggles,
three on Anarchism and Ellen Keys
book on "Love and Ethics" You can
tell what it is by the title. Do you
want your boy and girl to absorb that
kind of rot ?-Westhope IN. d.

THE INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT

A significant convention was held at
Butte last week when the "Inter-
church World Movement" convened at
the Y. M. C. A. with over one hundred
pastors of all denominations in at
tendance. The Interchurch World,
still less than a year old, is already
attaining a maturity of plan and
structure that augurs well for it's eff
f~iciency as a uniting effort of evange-
lical Professionalism. The original plan
contemplated the gathering together
of all the various efforts of the
churches into one movement, which
should be the eye and hand of all, see
ing opportunity and planning to meet
it and compel it. In line with this plan.
the Layman's Missionary Movement.
the Missionary Education and the Mis-
sion Study for Young People, and
nearly all kindred organizations have
come under the direction and inspira-
ton of this movement. 1t has done
effective work in spreading missionary
intelligence and awakening missionary
zeal, and has made a record somewhat
unusual among such organizations, OF
becoming self supporting. 1t brings
to the Interchurch it's enthusiasm, its
proven plans, it's text books with its
wealth of missionary exhibits and
curios. Thus the Interchurch World
Movement is preventing duplication of
effort by uniting other parallel move
ments. It is building a great medium
of spiritual power which will work ir
and through all the churches for a
wider evangelism and a more inclusive
and a less competitive program.
The churches for fifteen years have
been gradually coming together anc
have had several cooperative enter
prises which have been very success
full. Missionary effort in the foreign
field has always been cooperative anc
no overlapping work.
The church has learned the value
of unified effort. One of the speakers
at the Butte convention says: "Heec
the lesson which Germany forced upor
the Allies. Germany, in the wrong
yet united, was able to overthrow the
Allies, until the Allies, in the right
learned their lesson and backed RICH
with a thoroughly organized and unit
ed effort"
So said another speaker: "Co-opera'
ton of an aroused and revitalizee
church is the hope Of the world"
In the great American survey that is
to be made by able workers, foul
things r emphasized, namely: (1)
To discover the unchurched groups ane
areas in the social life. (2). To aie
the churches by the process of self
examination and to determine whethe,
they are rendering real service O.
marking time. (3). To prevent over
tapping and to avoid exhaustion thru
competitive enterprises and to elm
mate waste through over churching
az. To create a feeling of common
purpose among the churches by mean
of a common understanding of com
mon tasks and by helping the churche

THE RIGHT IDEA

One reason for the remarkable
growth and success of the American
Legion is the fact that it has devoted
it's time toward building itself up in
stead of pulling other organizations
down.

the price would be prOhibitive
to men on strike. If the cost of
living is too high now, how will
lessened production affect it ?
How will increased cost of pro-
duction bring prices down? You
live now because the farmers
have gone on producing, work
ing nearer sixteen hours a day
than eight hours. You can buy
food because the farmers have
not gone on strike, have not
ceased to produce, have not cor
nered the market and said I'VE
demand so much for our pro-
ducts or we won't work"
If you city workers expect
the farmers to go on feeding
you at the old price you have
got to get back to work at the
old wage and make it possible
for the farmers to buy cheaper
so he can produce cheaper. This
is not a One-sided game. 1t takes
two to play it and if you city fell
lows quit, don't get sore if you
go hungry soon. Either the far
mers must do as you are doing,
shorten the hours and demand
higher pay, or else you must
lengthen the hours and produce
more without more pay.
The farmers have been patient
with you. When they lose their
patience, look out. You have al
taken their help. If they

mers, that in any presidential
election the farmers contribute
over a third, and close to a half,
OF the entire vote. No funda-
mental change in the economic
and political structure of Amer
lea can be made if it is against
the interests of the farmer.
The farmers are not only the
most numerous but the most in
dependent and dependable class
of voters, and they swing the
country.
AS the farmers in our country
nearly all own their own farms
they will not encourage extreme
radicalism or a revolution. There
is no more intense devotion to
property interest any where
than the farmer has toward his
acres.
The farmer is certain to OBJ
pose anything in the nature of
communism and he will not help
put over any form of radicaIism
in politics.
Those who spend most of
their lives in the cities forget
this fact, but as a rule the pol
iticians don't forget it.
Witness daylight saving law re-
pealed over the veto of the pres
ident-the farmer gets what
he wants and keeps what he
has.
