Red Cross, and all other agencies for
making the soldiers and sailors, sick
or well, comfortable. Many Of its
leaders served the government vaiu-
ably without pay.
In the second place, Uncle Sam now
needs business in his business. He is,
and will be for some years, carrying
heavy burden Of debt. He has q
large establishment to support, and
must support it well. He must live
up to his station in life. Noblesse
oblige. And his establishment will
continue to grow. He will exert him
self to increase its size.
Legitimate business, therefore,
which "pays the freight" must be en-
couraged, and not hobbled, along ali
legitimate lines. The more business,
the more prosperity, and the more
prosperity, the more stable and salts
factory the wage scales, and the surer
all revenue returns.
Congress should search for happy
medium. 1t is equally undesirable
that the government should run bust
ness. or that business should run the
government. While our affairs re-
main on an individualistic basis-and
they should not be changed to So
cialistic basis-plenty of elbow-room
should be allowed men conducting
great enterprises on lines conforming
to the public welfare.

Bolshevism.

Unanimous adoption by the Senate
of a resolution to investigate bolshe-
vik activities in this country and par
ticularly in this city, inspired by
recent meetings held here, is an index
of the general feeling regarding the
outspoken criticism of the American
government uttered here and in praise
of the monstrous doctrines now preva-
lent in central Russia. There is plain
evidence of purpose to spread these
ideas, to subvert the principles of
American administration. That in
famous organization, the I. w. w.,
has laid certain foundation heres but
