FAIR PLAY

The congress thinks the Bolshevik menace is of sufficient
Importance to warrant an investigation of the spread OF propa-
panda in this country and the financial support it is receiving
from Europe,
The few isolated cases of Boshevism reported in the differ
ent parts of the country hardly warrant the dignity OF congress
sional attention. Each community is prepared to deal with ind-
vidual eruptions, and there is nothing to justify the assumption
that it can approach the distinction of being a menace
Perhaps some a the lawmakers are confusing the industrial
unrest and dissatisfaction with disloyalty to the government or
the influence of enemy countries.
The only activity that Germany or the other central powers
are engaged in at present, so far as affects the United States, is
to win a place in its favor by being exceedingly good and we'll
behaved.
But there is a cloud on the horizon that Our legislators
and statesmen should take heed of, lest it grow and break into a
storm. That cloud, no larger than a mans hand at present, is
due to the effort on the part of some to decrease wages, while
others in the same class are maintaining the former high prices
Of food and clothing, and in some instances are endeavoring to
increase the prices above war levels,
1t occurs to US that if any immediate investigation is war
ranted, it should be in this direction. Congress might give some
attention to the cause, and the study Of the effect would be
unnecessary.
Wages and the cost Of living have always risen and declined
together, and should the one go down and the other up we
will have confronting US a situation that will be most difficult
to solve, although it might be reasonably easy to correct in the
beginning. There will be no occasion for unrest in this country
if there is fair play. a sE"E'

You will hear these women say that

neither good luck nor bad luck do they
