: Vital Questions In U. S. Today.

This government was founded on
the principles that no special class
should control it:
The absolute security of every man
under the law IN his person and pro
perty;
The safeguarding Of the general
welfare of our people by keeping
the government at all times under
their own 9opt 81 both, as against
any special class at home. and as
against any foreign power or COM
bination of powers:
And the active use by the govern
ment, in the sphere of it's action OF
the full powers of the nation to pro-
tect every citizen, of whatever sta
tion he may be, both at home or in
a foreign land, or on the sea, from
unlawful injury to his person or his
property by any individual or spec
ial class, or by any foreign power.
Every necessary agency of the gov
ernment should be used to give COM
plete protection to the lives and law
ful rights of American citizens in
Mexico; and the International du'ies
we have assumed as to that country,
by reason of our proximity, and as
incidental to the Monroe Doctrine,
should be a once performed. The
launching and Withdrawing without
definite purpose or result, of military
expeditions 10 Vera Cruz and other
portions of Mexico, also as at Arch
angel and other portions of the world,
are criminal in their reckless Gisre-
gard of life and national treasure eA-
pended without the possibility OF any
benefits whatever.
Alien slackers, who renounceG thier
first papers" of naturalization in
order to escape military service,
should be denied citizenship in the
future, and should be deported with
out delay to the several foreign coun-
tries from which they came to the
United States, in order that the op-
portunities they enjoy may be left
for loal citizens and soldiers.
Revolutionary communism by what
ever name it may be called, must be
met and put down wherever it ap-
pears, as subversive Of liberty. There
can be no compromise with anarchy.
Dor leaders to coerce Congress to
enact legislation proposed by them,
If successful, would be government
by a class, as in Russia, and not
"by the people," as in the United
States. The threat to tie up trans
portation until the railroads are ma
tionalized and delivered to the con-
troll OF the employees, If successful,
would be government by terror, for
special class.
The effort of certain radical leaders,
of labor organizations to secure con-
troll of the police force of the various
cities of the country, IL successful,
would give to small special class alb
solute control of officer of the law.
1t would give a certain class con-
troll of the enforcement of the law,
and of governmental agencies estab-
lished to preserve the peace.
This nation cannot be ruled by
capital, and it cannot be ruled by
labor. Both capital and labor must
be subject to the rule of the peo-
pie. The government must be SUI
preme.
The just claims of labor should be
recognized and every opportunity
Should be given to laboring men and
their families for comfirt and hap
piness.The laboring man. above all
others, is benefited by the preserva-
tion Of law and order, the security
of life, person, and property against
violence and abitr9ry rule.
Communism is Inconsistent with the
vested right of a laborer to the wages
of his labor. The right to work, to
join or not to join union, and to
accumulate, or to use, as one sees
fit, and to transmit to his children
the wages of his work, is an essen
tial part of 1ife, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness"
These essential elements of liberty
are menaced by revolutionary doc
trines. This revolution movement
is International in its scope and pur-
pose. It has received powerful en-
