Striking at Soyietism

DRESIDENT WILSON'S proposed remedies
l for the abuses which have increased the
cost OF living in this country occupied tho
major part OF his address TO Congress- but
they scarcely more important than his
pronouncement against the radical groupg OF
lsborites and professional Bolshevists who
are seeking TO revolutionize industry in this
country, take advantage OF the general I'M
rest 20 Russianze America and are dealing
ID dire threats OF wholesale revolt il their
"!.d schemes are not favored.
'ir. Wilson declared with great force that
the nation cannot revolutionize the processes
OF It's economic life in a day and ought not
20 attempt 10 do SO. He followed this with
the warning that this country would not be
STAN peded By exhibitions Of brute force nor
allow itself 10 be intmidated by arbitrary
and coercive methods. This attitude on the
part OF the executive has given the widest
satisfaction In all quarters except those
where passion exists and ominous threats arc
breathed. And it has come as a measure of
surprise 10 many who had watched the course
OF Mr.. Wilson during the past few years. It
was known, Of course that he had the most
profound sympathy for the legitimate de-
mands Of labor. He has shown this in all
his public dealings with the great mass OF
American workers.
Less than three years ago, for example he
went straight to Congress as the ardent
champion OF the basic cight-hour day for
which the railway brotherhoods were con-
tending, and 1t was his influence that brought
success TO that cause. Later still he was
instrumental in writing into the treaty OF
peace labor program that startled the con-
aervative interests OF the country Moro
recently, his railroad administration Welded
10 the wholesale demands OF labor for vast
increases in pay In fact, ii seemed to manv
that the President cordially received any
proposal fathered by labor whatever its ef-
feet might be upon the nation
1t Is now certain that the President Ia y ot
the willing tool OF labor. lie means TO grant
TO the workers all that is right and Just but
he is not prepared to surrender the nationa,
iife into their hands. He is not prepared
TO give them unrestraincd control OF industry
AS he expressed it, he is not ready to set I'm
an autocracy OF labor any more than no u,.

is feeling OF revolt

insects called Men. and wonder-O I won

and why.
Fashion plates appear and fade away. and I
wonder--O I wonderful there are tich,

But sitting upon my moonbeam my soul e1ults.
and care no more for pancakes or trufles.
for picked tripe or pigsfeet-and all :.
