Yes, it is all very funny indeed

there is in this country very large

the situation. These people will be
very apt to put all attacks upon their
country in the same category. They
will not be able to distinguish be-

COMMUNICATED

Mr.. Peter Schaefer, Editor The
Miner. My Dear Sir: You didn't
donate the columns and pages of
your space to the Victory Liberty
Loan because we asked you to, and
you didn't do it because you expected
credit or reward or even thanks.
You did it because you appreciated
your duty as an American citizen and
performed that duty, as all real news
paper men do the things they set out
to- do-cheerfully and effectively.
We know that you have, without
pay or hope of reward, used our plate
matter, printed our suggested edit
orials and alleged news stories, and
have, yourself, written and printed
Loan arguments that have 'con-
verted" many people in your COM
munity. -t+
We know that without the educa-
tional campaign, of which the press
was the most important factor, the
Victory Loan in the Ninth District
could not have succeeded.
We have many positive proofs of
these acts, and therefore we cannot
feel that our job is really finished
until we have said to you a very fer
vent "thank YOU" r..,. ..
In our official capacity, and speak
ing for the Central Committee of
the Ninth District, the Federal Re-
serve Bank and the Treasury Depart
ment, we appreciate what you have
done and thank you for it. But this
does not express all we feel.
There is personal side to this
business. We have been privileged
to become acquainted with large
number of the districts publishers
and editors. This usually pleasant
experience has given US new under
standing of your problems and an
added faith in our fellows. Because
of this privilege we want to add a
personal ''thank you" for the splen-
did cooperation you have given us.
Whatever the future needs of the
country, the district, or your COM
munity may be, we feel very sure
that you and the other newspaper
men of the district can be depended
upon to do your full and efficient
share in supplying these needs.
Yours very sincerely,
A. P. ROGERS, Chairman.

igrants and rebels; abolition of all
rights of inheritance; establishment
of industrial and agricultural armies
the creation of state factories all
these things proposed by Marx and
Engels have been done in Russia by
Lenine and Trotzky. Ask the Rus
slams how funny it is.
Concluding the Manifesto, Marx &
Engels wrote: "The communists
disdain to conceal their views and
aims. They openly declare that their
ends can be obtained only by the for
chile overthrow Of all existing social
conditions. Let the ruling class
tremble at communist revolution.
The proletarians have nothing to lose
but their chains. They have a world
to win"
Revolution revolution, revolution
this is the central theme of the So
cialist doctrine, this is the thing that
some Americans find comicaL Do
our American bolsheviki take this
business of revolution seriously?
Hear them:
First, Robert Hunter: "The bal
lot is means; the bullet means"
Next Victor Berger: ct will de-
pend upon our rules whether we shall
have an orderly revolution which
have preached and propagated, or a
violent revolution"
Next, Big Bill Haywood: "Can
you wonder that despise the law?
I understand the class struggle.
am not a law abiding citizen. More
than that I do not believe that you
here ought to be law abiding cit
Iizens."
Next, the Plentywood Producers
News, Non-partisan League organ
All hail the Russian revolution which
is spreading to every part of the
world"
Next, the Minnesota Socialist par
ty, in resolutions passed at its March
convention last year: "We go on
record as endorsing the bolsheviki
movement and urge the American
labor movement to follow the ex-
ample of the Russian brothers."
But why multiply instances? There
is no space in this place for the
thousands which might be cited. Now
what is the amusing end that these
people have in mind? Simply the
end sought by the authors of the
Communist Manifesto-the over
throw of our government, the abol-
ition of property rights, the social
ization ofland and industry, the des-
truction of the church, the abolition
Of the family, and all the rest of it.
Isn't it comical? Isn't it positively
sidesplitting this glib talk of bullets
and revolution by people who make
haste to take refuge in the guaran-
tees of the American constitution
when finally the tardy hand of jus
tice reaches for them? In the very
document by Victor Berger, which we
have quoted above, this precious Hun
disciple of Hun destroyer says: 81

will be strictly enforced.
The penalty for making use OF a
stamp to denote the tax imposed with
out cancelling the stamp is fine Of
not more than 500.
Reports have reached the Bureau
of Internal Revenue that some tax
payers are under the impression that
revenue agents sent out to check up
income tax returns are receiving COM
missions on amounts found to be due
the government. The Bureau Of In
ternal Revenue today issued state
ment declaring such impression to
be erroneous and wholly without
foundations. Revenue officers en-
gagged in checking up returns, it was
stated, are on a salaried basis, and
there is no incentive to add to the
correct amount of the tax due.

BOLSHIVIKI VERY FUNNY
From THE PIONEER PRESS


The following article from a recent
issue of the Pioneer Press so clearly
sets forth some of the stern realities
relating to the American bolsheviki
that we reproduce it for the benefit of
Miner readers. There is a strong
current of sarcasm flowing through
the article that "flavors" it sufficiently
to make it highly interesting:
"Poking fun at Americas bolshev-
Xxi is becoming the literary fashion
of the hour. The risibles of our pro-
fessional jokesters are deeply stirred
by the spectacle of long-haired
gentlemen and short-haired ladies
who discuss the American ''rev-
olution" over steaming samovars.
"Pink" is Mr.. Harry Leon Wilson's
apt Characterization of them. He
does not find them entitled to the
rugged designation of "Reds" in
which their comrades Of the l. w. w.
take SO mucn prlOe.
Of course it is all very funny in
deed. Karl Marx, that grim old
Hun who invented Socialism, COM
munism, bolshevism or whatever you
like to call it, must himself have been
a humorist-but he disguised his
purpose very well when he originated
the doctrines now being preached
over the teacups of Greenwich Vii
lage," in the chaste columns of the
New Republic, and from various class
rooms and forums and street corner
soap boxes. The kind of humor which
finds it's expression in advocacy of
the overthrow of organized society,
which sets up in it's place the ghast-
y tomfoolery of modern Russia, may
be overwhelmingly funny to the liter
airy representative somehow it
caves the average American with
nary a cackle. Get yourself copy
of the Communist Manifesto, issued
in 1847 by Marx and his collaboration,
Frederick Engles, and try to find
something to laugh at.
Is advocacy of the overthrow of
existing government comical? Ask
Russia.
Is abolition of the church amusing?
Ask your neighbor.
Is destruction of the family funny?
Ask your wife.
Is state ownership of the means of
transportation a theme for laughter?
Ask yourself who is going to pay the
governments present railroad de-
felt of $418,000,000.
Is state ownership of land some
thing to joke about? Ask the North
Dakota followers of the ardent Marx
an, Comrade Townley.
Anything amusing about the GEN.
tralization of credit in a state bank?
That is another Marx-Engels inven-
ion. North Dakota may soon be able
to pass upon the jest in it.
The abolition of class distinctions?
Do you know how many distinctions
we have in America? Exactly-0.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-06-13

Some time ago the editor of Den
yer newspaper was fined $3.50 for
contempt of court for declining when
asked to reveal to grand jury the
name Of persons who had given him
information relative to matter in
vestigated by the grand jury and
which information formed the basis
for the newspaper stories that origin
ally started the inquiry.
In thus refusing to divulge the
name of his informant the editor imp-
ly regarded the first ethics and iron
clad rule, Of the newspaper game, and
that is to keep strictly confidential
such things as are impaired in con-
fidence. It is commendable that
among newspaper men this rule is re-
garded and seldom violated.
If for instance, comments Guy u.
Hardy, in the Colorado Press, news
paper men were to circulate as Cos
sip confidential information, fire.
quently Of a scandalous nature, which
every newspaper man hears, he would
not very long be regarded as a men,
Der of the fraternity. There is not
a newspaper man in the land, wheth-
er it be in Podunk or New York, but
what has in his time been made the
recipient of private information con-
corning persons and things, the pub
lication of which would do no good
and the revealing of which might do
harm. 1t is generally acknowledged
everywhere in. business circles and by
all persons with experience that a
newspaper man is to be trusted with
a secret and that once having
pledged his word he will keep it.
Of course there are cases where a
newspaper man has violated his prom
Use, but this stands as demerit mark
against his reputation which is al
ways considered when he seeks en-
ployment elsewhere.
How many times in the course of a
year does a newspaper man pledge
his word not to publish a certain piece
Of news. This agreement is in
variably kept. If news is published
and trouble results the rule of silence
applies and the editor or reporter
will not reveal the source of his in
formation to anybody.
How many times do good citizens
have domestic difficulties or become
involved in affairs that while not seri-
Gus might become public property,
and personally call upon the editors,
state their case frankly and truth
fully and ask that such matters of
family significance be suppressed.
When this promise is made it is kept.
For that reason, though possessing
many other faults and failings, news
paper men as a rule are to be trust
ed. The use of private information
sometimes might be converted into
cash, yet only few cases have been
reported where editors have sold pri-
vate information or resorted to the
despicable practices of blackmail. As
far as the newspaper game is con-
cerned the public as a rule is willing
to give the devil his due.

Once more the time has come for
the sunbhstered neck and arms. The
paddle again has come into its own
and the day of the Outer has ar
rived. Lakes and streams were busy
places Sunday. The trout fishermen
threshed the brooks and the canoeist
made long streaks in the glittcring
waters Of the nearby lakes. The ON
nivorous "skeet" had taste Of civil
ization, as it were, and Bre'er Pike
rode in machine at least one way of
the route. Large numbers OF our
people enjoyed Sunday in the open
and many went far afield. The motor
driven vehicle has widened our horizon
and made neighbors Of people who
were previously to their advent, all
strangers to US. The wonderful
highways we have are great induce
ments for drivers to 'let FER out" and
many hear their own noise coming in
the next day, catching up with them.
So far no two machines have been
pried apart but the summer is still
young and the price Of gasoline has
not increased materially. A few
bumps across the road with notices
on either side at obscure corners
might prevent flowers and slow music
later for some. The man in Ely
without car is missing much of the
beauties round about us-unless he
makes friends readily. Our natural
attractions lie out beyond the reach
Of the average pedestrian. But they
are well worth the trip on foot or
otherwise, to see them and to enjoy
them. A lunch basket and car and
q day in the woods or by lake with a
spoonhook or minnows makes a de-
lightful weekend outing. There are

What's the idea? Every once in
a while Postmaster General Burle-
son and his aides WELD the axe and
remove from the official circles some
capable employee regardless of the
standing in the community or the
competence Of the postmaster. The
latest to get what was not coming to
him was Postmaster H. H. Salmon
of Biwabik who was summarily
bounced without an explanation. In
the face of the fact that he had just
been reappointed for four years and
had been confirmed by the senate, the
dismissal came as surprise. In al!
probability, Salmon, who is plain
outspoken business man, had said
some thing that did not set well with
the monarchial head officials and this
was his reward for the years of faith
