which amplihes the tone

the tone resonate in its

A BoIsIlcyist Warming

IT has been many years since the American
1 people were treated to SO impudent and
dastardly threat as that which the con-
victed criminal, Eugene V. Debs, hurled at
them the other day when he calmly an
.nounced that if the courts of the land sent
him to prison, the day he entered his cell
nationwide strike of Socialists would be
called which would paralyze the country
If 1t should be assumed for minute that
this outlaw could make good that threat
there might be a degree OF CONSERVATION
throughout the country. Men might feel
that we were dealing with dynamite and that
any minute explosion would come which
would wreck the whole national structure
Happily however, there is no such vol
cano beneath u.s. 1t is not in the power OF
any man, be he convicted Socialist or the
President of the United States, to plunge the
nation into a state Of revolution. There is
too much passionate patriotism in America;
there is too much love of liberty; there is
too much devotion to American institutions
and, withal, there is too much plain common
sense on the part of the millions OF people
between the two coasts for any group of
madmen, or wreckers, or criminals to pull
down the temple over our heads.
1t will not come to this. There will be
no revolution in this country There will
be no industrial paralysis. There will be no
turbances. There may be a desperate effort
on the part of American Bolshevists mas
querading as Socialists or Industrial Workers
or labor agitators, to defeat the ends of JUS
tice. Debs and his crowd may believe that
by intimidation, by fomenting disorders and
melting riots, they can force the govern
ment to surrender. They may believe that
they can make mockery OF the decisions of
the courts; that they can make Presidents
or Governors quail before their power and
blast their way through the barriers of the
law
But unless the country has lost its mind:
unless labor has been poisoned and the great
mass OF the American people has ceased to
believe in government and decency, these
outcasts will fail They will be made TO
realize that there is sanity in America if
nowhere else in the world. They will be
made to understand that law and order must
prevail here; that strikes cannot be invoked
TO save traitors from Just punishment, and
that the men and women who toll cannot
be made puppets of to crafty the designs of
agitators unworthy to associate with any
outstanding citizen of the United States
Debs challenge must be met and met
hrmly not only by the government, but by
the American people as whole He must
serve his sentence and both he and all his
feilow-anarchists must be given to under
stand once and for all that they cannot defv
the forces OF law and order in America
