ROOSEVELT KNEW BETTER
THAN THE PUBLIC

When Theodore Roosevelt was
president of the United States, he
said Of William D. Haywood and his
associates, that they were ''undesir-
able citizens"
The public received the statement
with grain of salt, and the Hay
wood bunch were the enemies Of
Roosevelt from that day to this. The
public have seen more and more
proof that Roosevelt was right, and
he lived long enough to see them OBJ
structing our war activities during
the dark days when it looked like
Germany might win, and the brighter
days when Germany was beaten to
earth, and Bill Haywood and scores
of his associates placed behind the
bars.
1t took the people Of the United
States about fifteen years from the
time of the first warning until they
realized the whole horrible truth
about the activities and purposes of
the Haywood element. At this time
the nation has no doubt about their
purposes, and in their Chicago con-
vention of last week, they declared
their intentions Of making the United
States like Russia. Debs, the great
Socialist leader, unable to attend the
convention because of a court sent
ence requiring him to remain in
Cleveland until the court acts upon
his case and decides upon his prison
sentence wired to the meeting that
conditions as to freedom are better
in Russia than here and that a strike
to paralyze all industry was the thing
to use to secure their demands. He
says they have nothing to lose, since
others own the property, and because
they have the power of numbers they
should demand all they want and en-
force their demands.
