The suggestion that VIC arr suffering

striking evidence Of it in the bond ordi-

Wheeling to be voted on Thursday.

how TO FIGHT BoLsHEVISM

The arrest OF 81 Russians at Mckees
Rocks for "conspirng to inject the spirit
OF Bolshevism into Allegheny county
SUGGESTS the danger that exists in Ger
tain localities These men all speak n
foreign language, none Of them have had
any education in the spirit Of American
institut ions, or any definite understand
ing of their responsibilities as citizens.
Probably our government and our peo-
ole are rs much to blame for their pres
encc among Us as they are themselves.
We have allowed thousands of immi-
grants from Southern and lSaster Europe
to come to this country and to make
their temporary homes here, and we
have made no serious effort to educate
them in the duties. responsibilities and
opportunities Of American citizenship.
This is a democracy IN which the vote
of each man is equal TO the vote of any
other man. II is the land Of equal OPP
portunity, and our legislation and our
civic movements should be directed to
the ratnt cpance at all times Of equal op-
portunity to all men. This means. among
other things, that the ignorant Russian
Immigrant who expects to live in Amer
lea. whose labor We use and upon whose
strength we depend TO help maintain
our industry. has a claim upon the pub
lie. and that claim Is the right to learn
our language, to learn our laws and TO
learn something Of the spirit Of our in
stitutona
The In,eIligencer Is glad to note that
the Wheeling Chamber. OF Commerce
has begun a campaign OF characterization
among the foreign immigrants. This Is
a serious work It should be honestly
md thorouEhly performed. We can
render no better patriotic service thnn
by making sure that every foreign born
