ALASKAN REINDEER SAFE

THE "EXALTED Order Of
CRUSADERS OF Chaos
By FORREST CRISSEY

INT. Crissey, a noted f7atur"
writer. wrote the following article
for circulation by the National Sc
curity League in it's great educa-
tional campaign against Bolshev-
ISM.
Like it's twin, Opportunity, As
piration is the very essence of Am
ericanism. 1t is the main spring
of action and achievement-the
juice in the motor that makes the
pistOns move. Subtract aspiration
from the sum of human motives
and you have killed the engine cold.
When you find a man who hugs the
conviction that he has nothing to
live for" you have located a dead
one, a derelict who is a floating
menace to all who are carrying their
part of the worlds traffic.
America has been called the Land
of Opportunity until the phrase has
become trite and t~hreadbare. But
the dust of the commonplace
should not be allowed to dim the
brightness of the truth symbolized
by this term. To millions of it's
citizens America mean a full and
fair chance to make the most of life,
to get the richest return from toll,
to live the fullest life and the
freest that the worker "a live in
any land under the sun to go
farther along the line of his indi-
vidual talents than a man a go in
any other country; to get more,
spend more, think more, feel more,
enjoy more, and help more than is
possible anywhere else. That's
America!-where the race for
Achievement is a ~free-for-all and
where the common laborer of today
is often the millionaire of tomorrow
and the timid emigrant is turned
into the law maker and the political
leader; where the h~od-carrier and
the wheel-barrow engineer is trans
formed. almost over night, into the
owner of a limousine.
Suppose the incentive to make
use of this marvellous rrserve or
Opportunity were suddenly stricken
from the breast of every man in
America-what would we then
have?
A Bolshevist heaven! A paradise
for those whose definition of bliss
is to reduce human effort to it's
least common denomination, to drain
the last drop of juice from the gas
tank of individual ambition, to
pluck all the prizes from the game
of life and to rob every human
dream of the glow of Incentive.
That's Bolshevism-which is the
same mad, rotton and wolfish thins
when called by any of a dozen diff
ferent names
There Is nothing known to man
so essentially un-American as the
creed of the Bolshevist. Judged by
its actual works 1t is a lodge IN
which the password Is Destruction
and the countersign a stab in the
back; it is the Exalted Order of
Crusaders of Chaos in which Ignor-
ance and Robbery outrank Intelli-
gence and a decent regard for fun
damental human rights; 1t is a

ihOou III LII V "a
Greed and rocked in the cradle of
Rapine and plumber. 1t Is a COM
mercial system which abolishes the
law of Compensation, takes but does
not pay, destroys but does not build.
Its only salvage from the list of
things for which q Brother may
still aspire are the crudest creature
lusts-the things really worth while
are tossed into the scrap heap OF
lent opposite to real Americanism is
unthinkable, for it kills Aspiration
Units cradle, sends Ambition to the
firing squad and applies the torch
to that kind of Opportunity that has
made America the safest haven of
human liberty in the whole earth.
My personal reason for believ-
ing that the United States will
be widely swept by the Bolshevist
flood is perhaps peculiar. The mem
tally of the American people is
graced with a certain elasticity
which some call common-sense
while others describe it as a ense
of humor. Broadly it is a ca
pacity to see the absurdity of sys-
TENS and theories which ignore the
cardinal characteristics of human
nature "as is" 1t is an intuitive
sanity of perspectives; a natural
safety fuse which shifts a danger
GUS emotional currefc to the ground
wire. To divorce Americanism from
association with a sense of humor, a
capacity for seeing the absurdity of
a situation, Is impossible. AS we'll
try to think of the British tempera-
ment as devoid of bulldog tenacity
or of the typical German as guilt
less of intrigue.
Because Bolshevism is a fabric of
crude, solemn and grotesque alb
surdities. a system that ignores the
most elemental characteristics of
human nature and because we are
a nation of men and women gifted
with a capacity to detect absurdities
and to laugh at them, Bolshevism is
going teva no BFWYPU UU UU
going to have a hard time develop
ing sinto a destructive epidemic in
this country.
But This does not imply that we
are without thousands of alien para
sites who are guiltless of a of
humor. Nor does 1t mean that we
haven't a troublesome quota of en-
ployers who are as yet unable to
read the handwriting on the wall.
which says: THE old order
changeth and labor and capital must
rewrite their contract on a fair part
nership basis"
The spirit of true A.nericanism
has its job laid out-and a big one!
1t is to make vigorous use of the
broom of deportation and sweep the
solemn alien disciples of Lenine and
Trotzky cross the ocean and to let
the blind. stubborn and reactionary
employer. who is living in the men
tai atmosphere of a decade ago, get
a little common sense knocked into
him with the club OF that kind OF
democracy which has been baptized
in the blood ~ a world war for real
human liberty.

KENYON BILL Is BASED
ON INACCURATE
REPORTS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 49,
Further initiation Of food prices
would result from the passage OF
the Kenyon bill to regulate and IL
cense the packing industry, L. d. H.
Weld, manager of the commercial
research department of Swift &
Company, told the senate agricul-
tural committee. He said THE main
objection to the bill is the fact that
it is based on reports of the fed
eral trade commission which r sat
urated with glaring Inaccuracies ana
misstatements."
Weld said the Kenyon bill would
either interfere with the farmers or
packers. He said: "If the farmer
was hit he could cut production,
which would bring higher stoch
prices, and If the packer was hit his
business crippled, the result would
be higher manufacturing costs, and
these would have to be passed on"

RAILWAY RETURN IS :.

CHIEFS OF FINANCE
Question Entirely in Hands
of People, Asserts Wall
Street Bankers
(By United Press.

New York, Sept 1.-That the pres
ent leaders in railroad development
and the moneyed interests which
have been backing railroads will not
make struggle to keep transporta-
tion lines from going permanently to
government ownership, is evident
from the attitude taken by New York
chiefs of finance and railroaoing.
1T is a question entirely up to the
people Of the country" is the way
railroad executives and financiers re-
fer to the Plumb bill, providing for
government ownership Of the roads.
Wall street especially would not OBJ
ject, if government ownership, ended
with the railroads. However, finan-
ciers are apprehensive that once la
Dor leaders gain the railroads, they
would demand other industries and
financial institutions as we'll.
Money invested in other industries,
rather than in railroads, yields far
better returns as a rule, say bank
ers. This may account for the fact
that much of the railroad stock Of
the country is held elsewhere than
in Wall street.
If there is a fight to prevent the
railroads from going permanently to
government ownership, it must be in
congress and by congress, say rail-
road executives, who deny that they
have any plans for publicity cam
paigns They say they think the
railroads will be much better man.
aged In private hands, and will give
better service, but deny that 1t is to
the interest of railroaders to keep
control Of the roads.
Executives are better paid and
have greater opportunities in other
industries" say railroad men, who
explain their presence at their posts
by the statement that they like their
work. However, they could not work
for the salaries the government
would pay, they add.
The railroad men through the AS
sociation Of Railway Executives, com.
prising practically all Of the railroads
of the country, have suggested to
congress counter .proposal- 1Or gov-
eminent ownership ~. =. =. Z.

vides for private ownership under

Railroad executives and financiers
agree with the laborers that specula-
ton must be eliminated from railroad
development and that labor must get
better pay and shorter hours. How
ever, they feel that the latter will
never be ac 1mplished with govern.
