To Americanize MICHIGAN.

The Governor of Michigan has
struck a popular note. He recon-
mends that it be made compulsory
to teach English in every school in the
state up to the eighth grade. This is
the most practical suggestion that has
been made thus far. In the great
work Of Americanization it is import
ant that children be taught in the
English language, and we know of
no state where better beginning can
be made than in Michigan. and par
ticularly in the Copper country where
the mine owners have for years
secured Europe for the cheapest
and most illiterate labor:

no BOLSHEVIS,I HERR.

During the past forty-year period
American laborers have achieved
mightier things than the laborers CT
any other country on earth, and no
workingmen during the same period
were obliged to withstand such fear
full competition from laborers whose
standards of living were so low.
We have had the opportunity in
America to do things. Opportunity
is the great gift of human liberty.
And taking advantage of opportunity
we have had the good sense to pat
tern our system Of labor organiza-
tlons after our government We
have made our trade unions fit in
with American institutions. We
nave adopted sane aud practical
methods. @our program has been
constructive. We have raised stand
ards and have secured / greater mea-
sure OF social justice by the educat-
ional, evolutionary PROCESS That is
the kind, although apparently slow
and sometimes disheantcning, that
wins in the long run.
The British workers have come up
along similar lines. They first
adjusted their unions to the Britis'I
form of government and then kent
pegging away until they worked a
revolution in the country without
the loss of a single life or the shedd-
ing of one drop of blood.
Contrast this record with the fam
tastic and hilarious movement of the
workers in Russia. Oceans of blood
is being shed and thousands OF
human lives are being sacrificed on
the alter Of Bolshevism to satisfy tie
whims of group of rainbow chasers
who are laboring under the delusion
that they can lead the workers of
Russia from an Egypt of bondage to
a Canaan Of Industrial liberty over
night, without undergoing training
and discipline, yea, trials and tribu-
latlons, in the Wilderness of prepa-
ration. 1t can't be done 1t is con-
trary to all human experience. A mere
reverse III battle or at the ballot may
cost the workers all they have. thus
lar gained. There is no security in
their position. 1t is fraught with
peril
Some Of their school are begin
ming to protrude their heads in this
country and in England. They >.,,,,i,l
substitute Bolshevism for the tried
and true policies that have brought
such tremendous success here. They
would forget the lessons of history
and would hurl us into an abyss of
madness, imagining all the while that

DON'T ENRAGE THE PEOPLE

There is a street car problem in
Duluth that demands immediate s,!u-
ton. The weather is getting cold
and people don't fancy the idea CT
standing for long periods of time on
street corners waiting for cars. Dur
ing the war they made allowances
for poor service. Now that the war
is over they expect improvement, AMI
! If the present owners Of the company
do not recognize the Importance of
pleasing the public, they may dis
cover their mistake when it is too
late.
Mayor Magney sounded a gentle
varying to the company officials at
a luncheon given by the Kiwanis
club Tuesday. He politely Informed
Manager Warren who was present
that if noticeable improvement did
not soon take place it might be nee
essary for the city to take over the
whole system in the interest of the
public welfare.
The city has such power and it
only requires courageous officials to
exercise it. The mayor could take
the police force down to the car barns
any day, throw out the present Off
; Gals. put in their places servants of
the people. and he would be able to
run" the system for an. Indefinite
period in the interests of the CITY.
OF course the company would have
the right to 90 into court and attempt
to restrain the city in such a course
Counter suits. would then be filed ly
the city and the whole matter kept
in litigation for long term of wears
In the meantime the city would be
operating the line. The people would
have it in their possession. Before
the eggs would be unscrambled nv
the courts the owners would be
pleased to get their money out Of the
plant on any old terms.
This plan would advance munici-
pal ownership In Duluth, and if the
! city once took over the system it is
sale bet it would never be surren-
cred again. It is up to the street
railway officials to say whether or
i not the people of Duluth shall be
drWen to such extreme procedure.

Well, now is that not too bad. If
the employees could not run the rail-
roads any better than the present
owners did before the government
took them over we would be very
much ASHAMED Of them Worse
things, might happen to the country
than to permit experienced railroad
men to run the railroads for the peo-
