Jean Thiebaut and his one best

Bomb Grimes Discussed

At the same time. Victor Berger.
Socialist Representative from Mil

insanity is "the logical answer to
the insane outrages against the free
press and free speech by the ruling
class
Morrison, speaking for organized Ia
bor. deplored the attempts on the
lives of prominent persons. and de-
clared that the ''evil must be traced
TO its root
Duty to Find Cause.
"I can understand why the nihilist
of Russia used bombs. but this meth
cd can have no place in American
institutions" Morrison said. And
when It Ia used, 1t Is our patriotic duty
to inquire why.
For years the trade union move
ment has urged the restriction OF I'M
migration, but the workers were op-
posed by steamship companies and the
steel trust and other employers OF
labor who stimulated immigration at
the rate of 100000 persons year.
Many Of these immigrants were

aged to use their own language and

Concept of Amerlcnnism.
What can Americanism mean to
these people? They do not even un-
derstand our language. To them
Americanism means a petty boss and
low wages. They know nothing of our
theory of government.
This country is now reaping the
result of its immigration policy-or
lack of policy-durinS all these years
Bomb throwing is always a chal-
lenge to organized society. and should
be met in that spirit. But the ques-
tion must be traced back to its root
and treated accordingly. American
ism must be more than a shibboleth.
1t must mean education. opportunity
and social justice for all. We must
vitalize our declarations and our be-
liefs that injustice has no place on
American soil.
"In this soil bomb throwing will
wither and die"
"Insane," Says Berger.
Berger. on the other hand. de-
clared "the bomb outrages of the
anarchists are insane, of course, but
this insanity is the logical answer
to the insane outrages against the
free press and free speech by the
ruling class.
Everybody who knows anything
at all knows that socialism and an
archism are direct opposites in theory,
principle and tactics.
However. all true democrats will
agree with them in the demand for
a free press and free speech.
Just now the plutocrats believe
that they can quell all new ideas
by passing special legislation, by
employing spies and by using all the
force available.
The capitalists may thus. by tyran-
nical legislation and force. retard
socialism-but then they will surely
get anarchism.
They will invite a cataclysm, such
