mgton the most discussed topic that
concerns the Bolshevist menace in it's
various poisonous MANIFESTATIONS in
Russia, in Mexico and sad to say, in
the United States, is the discovery of
the close relationship in phrasing and
intention of the new Carranza consti-
tuition, of Mexico, and the Bolshevist
constitution. This analogy of the two
was brought out in an address by
Senator sherman of Illinois, address,
ing the senate on American Troops
in Russia"
Mexico's new socialistic constitution
preceded that of the similar, in many
respects, constitution adopted by
Lenin and Trotzky for their anarchist
Rolshevill regime in Russia,
"Carranzas constitution as it is
called, and the Bolshevik bill of
rights are as twin as two peas in
pod, when closely compared,
The grim humor OF it all, it is said,
is that both are "Made-in-America,'
and by the same socialistic scribe. This
socialistic writer is none other than
a more or less famous undertaking
magazine writer, who was prevented
from further speaking in San Diego
in April, 1913.
The writer in question was just
fresh inihe United States from royal
reception by Carranza and a long,
welcome stay in Mexico. The police of
San Diego interrupted the sociallstc
writer ana speaker just when he had
stated that THE American govern
ment was rotten, and the only good
governments in the world were those
of Mexico and Russia!"
When the police choked off the
speech at this point, the speaker was
promptly invited to leave san Diego
at once, which he did. He has since
boasted that he inspired both consti-
tutions of the werdly conducted gov
ernment--Mexico and BolsheVik Rus
sia-which he had so highly COM
mended, while declaring the govern
ment of America, the land of free
dom and opportunity was rotten
If this is true the United states
must look to the suppression of Its
home made menaces in the person OF
our so-ealled American citizens ana

Senator Shermans surprising state
ments were made when the senate had
under consideration senate resolutions
444 introduced by Mr.. johnson OF
California, as follows:
"Resolved, That in the opinion OF
the senate United States soldiers
should be Withdrawn from Russia as
soon as practicable,

"Mexico has adopted a constitution
of a peculiar character Rumor says
that it was written in New York city

mists. Whether it was u not | need
not stop to inquire, but a provision IN
the constitution that has worked con-
siderable havoc in our country in SUD-

source of title. 1t provides thereafter
that neither mines, oils, nor lands
shall be worked except upon license

the fuel oil burned upon the shipping
of England and some of our own SNIP

sources, so that it became very ma

an Russia, after the succession OF
troubles had come and gone, thefe
were two elements at last struggling
for mastery. The enin-Trotzky reVo-
lutionary government made war upon
their enemies. The allies and our
selves recognized the enemies of the
Bolshevist government as our allies.
That was in effect repudiating the
doctrine laid down in Mexico.

Article I. All property rights in the

sources within the boundaries of the
Russian federated soviet republic are
abolished.

condition than is found in Mexico. 1t

permits, under which mining and oil
rights are regulated. No one can OPP
crate or use his own property under
such plan. In practice it became con-

Mexico? Why not make practical war
on Mexico for the same thing? our
