themselves with anarchists, by whatever name
the ''reds' may be called. They will quit the
Federation rather than do so. If they should
leave, the bolsheviki, selfish and provincial, will
not keep solid national organization The
police and military forces of the country will put
down bolshevism With the federation commit
ting suicide, the worker will be left without an
organization to champion his cause, and he will
be exploited by men that are always ready to
take advantage of the worker. The other dan
ger to the Federation in tolerating this exhlbl-
ton of bolshevism is that the decent citizens OF
the country will cease to regard the Federation
as an American body and will have nothing to
do with it. Capital will become afraid to deal
with it, and will begin to hide itself away. Dis
tress to the worker will ensue and disgust Will
lead him to drop his membership in an organ
ization that is doing harm to him. Thus the or
ganization will be killed by outward attack and
the result to the worker will be the same as
would be the case had death come to his organ
ization from within.
The American Federation of Labor is one of
the most powerful weapons, if not actually the
most powerful, we have against bolshevism.
Let it be used unsparingly. The American peo-
pie want more of this Seattle business

He added that it was to be hoped that any dis

discoveries devoted to unwise or evil purposes

SETH BULLOCK.

Sioux City Journal: The death Of
Seth Bullock marks the passing of an.
other of the type of men who nodded
an empire Of order and prosperity out
OF the primitive west in the days that
tried mems souls to do So Seth Bull
lock was not an adventurer. He did
not belong to that class of men who
made the pioneer days of the west in
famous. He stood for law and order;
for the development of the institu-
lions of society and government. He
was on the side Of the law and in oppo.
sition to lawlessness. But he lived in
time when law and order were posi-
BILE only by the courage and physical
ability Of those who upheld them to
meet on more than equal terms the
opponents of law and order in their
chosen ways. 1t required skill with
the gun, intrepid daring, unflinching
bravery and deliberate action in the
face OF death to establish and uphold
law in the Black Hills when Seth Bull
lock made his advent into that region.
These qualities were as essential In
the men who stood for the law as they
were in the men who defied the law.
In fact, the war was between these
two influences. Seth Bullock was on
the side of law. The other side fell
before his enforcement of the law. He
established order in region which
but for such men would have long re-
NAMED the rendezvous of the frontier
outlaw.
1t is no disparagementt to the other
men who had SO much to do with the
foundation OF the great common.

Seth Bullock was a leader in the
events which changed that region so
rich in agricultural and mineral
wealth from the primitive condition
in which the Indians left it to the
conditions in which it now finds itself.
1t was not alone the accuracy OF MS
bullet or the fearless facing of the
adversary that he gave to the primi-
tive community It Is the spirit OF
civic order and industrial develop
ment. so seldom combined in one
man, that will stand as his monument
of things accomplished. He had faith
in the state when faith was without
works. He saw the possibilities or
the country with discernment
eeualed only by that Of the late James
]. Hill. He lived to realize his early
faith. He saw the state grow from
I an Insignificant and wild territory to a
nroud member OF the union, filled
| with the wealth of farm and mine and
riyaling states older by many years
| in it's development and prosperity.
| other men have sat by and witnessed
such changes Seth Bullock helped to
make them. That is where he stands
out In bold relief among the pioneers
Of the west. He did not wait for
things to tlx,n up. He turned them up.

COLLECTING SILK SHIRTS.

From Indiana comes the tale of local black
smith who has just bought ten silk shirts for
ten dollars apiece. We are not told if his
smithy stands under spreading chestnut tree
or whether he is horseshoer or 'smltes the

artifcer in iron, most ancient and honorapie OF
handicrafts, and that he felt that his earnings
justified him in gratifying his taste for lux
urious attire He may not have been moved by
vanity or love of ostentation. Perhaps he has
q wornan's appreciation of beautiful textiles,
and NAV have no thought Of wearing them ex,
cept ON rare red-letter days. The mere pos
session of exquisite fabrics rather the use OF
them gives artistic natures JOY.
All this. however, is purely speculative, for
the case is cited as instance OF the reckless
way in which money is flung around by people
who are making more OF it nowadays than ever
tbefore This is only somewhat unusual form
Iof extravaganza. If the blacksmith had used
his hundred dollars in making first payment
on an automobile nothing would have been
Thought about it. That is done every day; but
never since Tubalcain took apprentices at the
trade have we heard Of another blacksmith
with such a passion, taste or hobby for silken
shirts Let us hope that he will find enduring
satisfaction in them. We are all Of us potential
connoisseurs in some line and probably would
/ be collectors Of lovely specimens if we could.
The instinct is in nowise reprehenslble, but
quite the reverse For example, we know an
entirely respectable person who is collector of

itch for collecting promotes industry and en-
courages artistry in work But for seeming

SEEKING TO DESTROY AMERICA

much of his time to UNFOLDING the

cording to this report, every state

was enthusiastically applauded, and
every statement against American
capitalists was likewise applauded.
Pamphlets, printed in the German
language, dealing with socialism
were eagerly purchased, and yet
American people know that such
