Break Up of Bolshevasm
From the Baltimore American.

Even in Russia the soviet government IS
rapidly. taking on more. conservative features.
| Were the country opened to trade by the lifting
the blockade, the influences that make for the
alteration Of the government would be in active
| effect. Boeshevism is political nightmare and
social disease. 1t is only possible in coun..
try socially and politically ruined and stepped
in misery and ignorance. 1t was possible there
only through the acute activity of men whose
| principal asset is malice toward human kind.
There is nothing that corresponds with the
conditions under which Russia went daft to be
found in any other country upon the face of the
globe. The efforts made by agents of the boil
she visit leaders OF Russia to spread the gospel
of bolshevism have been an utter failure. The
terror that the name inspired when the Spar
tacans were carrying on revolts in Germany,
ences of the same order, long since has passed
away. The nations did not go mad, the peo-
Piles did not become insane, and so bolshevism
has failed.
In the elections in Face the reds have
been utterly crushed Premier Clemenceau's
group Of republican parties has at ali points
beaten the outright radicals and the latter reg
istered the biggest vote they ever will again in
a French election. This election wrote the end
of discord and points the way for the full swing
era and condition of destruction. That era has
proved short-lived in many of the countries
emerging from the war. In the far future Ger
many will make great deal Of its claim for
having stamped out the bolshevist brands that
were leaping into blaze in western Europe. The
grip Of the allies upon Germany did more to
stamp out bolshevism than any acts OF the gov
eminent itself; nevertheless, credit will be
given the sense of discipline and order of the
German people that kept them from falling into
the snare of the Lenne conspiracy The cleo
ton in France was due to the poilus, the vet
Grams of the war lining up solidly against the
radicals. Here the last hope of the reds failed.
They were foolish enough to. profess that the
veterans OF the great wa would swarm to their
internationalist terrorist banners. The same
story is told in England, where the premier
has given assurance that the bolshevist danger
for Europe has definitely passed
In the United States efforts to create a labor
conspiracy with such shining igts as Foster
Of the steel union in action, and with view
to bring under radical control the great groups
OF American labor has proven outright
hasco. While the miners officials talked strong
y when the test came they could not see red if
they tried. There was no labor revolution, there
was no fight with the government there was
nothing that the reds had counted upon. The
effort to bring about soviet conditions in the
United States has proven as farcical as most
level-headed persons knew it would. Labor
conditions remain as they were before the tam
\pering with them by the radicals. When the
miners and operators come to conclusions they
will do so under the compulson of public SEN
tment and various practical intimatons of the
last word belonging to the consumer. The
reds are out of the reckoning.
Here is the record to date of the widely
heralded campaign of the bolshevsts to carry
out their program of terrorism throughout the
entire world. and particularly to lay their syn
dicast hands upon the United States. The
absolute crushing out of the reds is the present
employment of the government. This will be
carried to the point of making utterly impos-
sibe any coalition OF conspiracy for the defeat
of the union of the states and peoples one
and inseparable. The ignorant and malicious
reds made up mostly of persons who are men
without country. have been taught the lesson
that there is nothing in the world comparable
to the solidarity and power of the American
democratic spirit. Those Russians who had
their opportunity in the land of the free and
yet long for the flesh pots of bolshevistic die
tatorship and political orge will probably be
