TIME TO STOP THE BoLsHEvIKI

TIME TO STOP THE BOLSHEVIKI.
Bolsheviki promises to be as over
worked term as camouflage. But
while discriminating people may soon
tire of the reiteration, it is highly
important that the term imported
from Russia, should be understood.
There is too prevalent impression
that the Bolsheviki are merely crooks
and outlaws, with no program other
than that of destruction. 1t is true
that the first number on the program
Is destruction, but behind this anar-
chistic scheme is a definite political
proposal.
This proposal is in BRIEF the de-
struction of the present so-called
capitalistic class rule, and the substi-
tuition of labor class rule The Boil
sheviki do not recognize the validity
of private property of any kind. If
man has by hard work and superior
ability built up a profitable business,
that business does not belong to him,
it does not belong to the state, it be-
longs to the employees, and with the
advent of Bolsheviki control, the en-
ployees are to take it over, peaceably |
if possible, by force is necessary.
Now to any reasonable person, to
any fair minded person, whether he
works with his head or his hands, this
we think appears utterly insane and
utterly childish. But the time has
long passed when it profits per-
son to dismiss the Bolsheviki with an
indictment. Sane or not sane the Boil
sheviki are growing in Europe like
the proverbial SNOWFALL, and the time
has come for some sort of action.
While these long haired agitators
have political program that pro-
gram is essentially the program of
the outlaw and the pirate. Unless
Bolshevism is put down, nothing can
save the world from complete chaos
and ruin.-Medford (Oregon) Sun.

President Wilson has finally visited i
the devastated regions of France. For
time he refused to do this in order
that he might consider impartially at
the peace table problems regarding a
settlement between the allied nations
and Germany. The Huns should pay
according as they have wrought, and
it will not hurt the president to have
first hand information regarding the
l2ce -
powers, and to act on what he has
seen. German soil is not shell torn, :
nor are German towns and factories q
destroyed. She should be called upon :
