DIR. EATON WOULD DEPORT
THOSE WHO STRIVE TO
UNDERMINE GOVERNMENT

During the course Of his address to
the members Of the Chamber OF Com
merce. yesterday afternoon. Or. Charles
A. Eaton, pastor Of Madison Avenue
BAPTIST Church, Of New York, and head
OF the National Service Section Of the
United States Shipping Board, touched
on several topics Of vital interest TO
this community and 10 the country in
general His audience followed closely
his address, and vigorously applauded
his equally vigorous manner OF ham
ding his subject. Dr.. Eaton seemed TO
have the faculty OF ripping the kernel
rrom the nut with the fewest words
md most direct manner possible. In
,art, he said;
"This war has done one wonderful
thing It has been the means Of bring
ing all classes together into one grand,
live citizenship that would satisfy even
lhe Democratic party, and that is go
lng some. It is the soul Of the man and
Of the citizenship and Of the country
and Of the world which makes any Of
them worth while The thing that made
Germany fail so utterly on the field Of
battle was the fact that she was rotten
IN her soul.
political autocrocy forever Is deaf
and buried. The giant which met and
defeated II on the feld OF battle was
democracy. Autocraoy viii never again
rise from the dust. The essence OF de-
nocracy Is that il has room for all
classes. We could have no political
parties nor any democracy which recog-
nizes only one class.
Attacks Bolshevism.
To-day democracy Is threatened by
even a worse enemy than autocracy--
an illegitimate child Of autocracy, laid
at the doorstep OF the world, and grew
overnight. IL is not possible to over
estimate the danger OF Bolshevism TO
the world today. II Is the child Of hate,
the child Of hell, and unworthy to live.
II Is FIRST and last a class movement

ton contains the proposition that It is a
'proletarlan dictatorship Glass move
ments never developed civilization yet.

ed. Germany was thrown TO the dust
becanuse IL was built like a pyramid
turned upside down, built on one class.

the present strife and uncertainty we

for the development Of his manhood.
