What Is BOlshevism?
Let Us Listen While Bolshevist Tells Us

You have doubtless asked the question "What is Boil
ahevism?"
The answer that you got depended largely upon the kind
of person to whom you put it.
Very likely you never asked Bolshevlst himself and
20 never got fountain head definition.
Here is one:
Bolshevism-Jobs for all. No rent to the land
lord. No interest to the banker. No profit to the
boss government of the workers, by the work
ers and for the workers.
That is what Boshevism to Bolshevist accord
ing circulars freely distributed for the past few days
The only sane clause of the whole thing is jobs for
ALL There why there should not be work for
everybody And there is work for everyone who really de-
sires it. It may not be the kind of work you prefer But
It is work, and you get money for doing it.
If there is to be no rent for the landlord who will fur
Aish the living accommodations? interest for the
done without borrowing If profit to the boss who will
conduct business?
The answer of the Boshevst is like that Of the fly in
the nursery rhyme of Cock Robin. 'I'' said the fly.
There never was and will be successful political
party or economic founded destruction And
there never will be permanently efficient and stable gov
by PART of the people whether that part be
workers or drones.
Doctrines such as this circular presents will find little
favorable soil in the United States.
The scattering of this of literature around the
country may do some harm. It will also do good It
viii tell the thinking something about this disease
and he will take the greater precauon that does
not spread.

Don't Buy Oil Trash

This is warning to those who would make money too
quickly:
A hundred more less, promoters of stock selling
schemes flooding the country with propaganda that
cells you how to become rich overnight
At present the way most generally advised is to buy oil
stocks Oil following its natural inclination to have
come to the top.
If you rich you don't need advice. You can
look out for yourself and you lose few thousand dollars
It won't matter particularly.
This editorial is written for the who by dint of
honest economy has saved little money and would like to
see it grow into more. To him say keep away from
speculation in that kind of trash. Keep away from all
speculation.
The chances that if you buy it will prove to be
worthless
Owners Of property that really has oil under the ground
proven to be there, do not sell their stock.
Mr. Rockefeller agents would them all their pub
hcy expense he thought their property good enough
Cor the Standard Oil And it isn't good enough for them
It isn't good enough for you
If you have saved some money, keep it.

A WEEK or so ago there ap-
"A peared in this column a sug-
= gestion to the effect that
girls would be kinder in not let
ting soldiers spend on them that
precious bonus of $50. This has
met with a sympathetic response
on the part of numbers OF girls
who have soldier sweethearts in
France. One of the best sugges-
tons is as follows:
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
We have been much interested in
your suggestions as to a policy for
preventing discharged soldiers from
blowing in" their $50 bonus on
some OF US. / would like to tell
you of a plan some Of us adopted 4
year ago. We were all war work
ers and, as is often the case, several
of us were stopping in the same
house.
Most Of US had soldier sweet
hearts and one evening the question
arose as to the propriety of letting
these men spend all of their meager
pay on US for a good time. TheJ
were not close at all, but it was 90
viously impossible for them to spent
much on us many times during a
month.
So each girl pledged herself that
~ tAe expenses of the trip. visit 10
a theater or any similar entertain
ment were over a dollar she would
insist on paying half the expenses.
You may imagine that il met with
some opposition on the part of the
Young men. They said they
wouldn't stand being cheap sports
and that it would deprive them or
their seIf-respect.
But by holding out VIC managed
to convince them we only wanted
them to have a better time with US
as We could under this new arrange
ment because il would not taAe
from the boys their last cent.
This plan is now working splen-
didly. And since the boys are dis
charged many of them are in a
worse financial condition than
when they were in the army. Most
Of them are really earning less,
while we girls who have been in the
Government service from six
months to a year are in far better
circumstances. And the beauty of
the plan is that it enables the good
times to go on just the same.
What do the girls say, let's have
a nationwide league for the pre-
vention of cruelty to soldiers be-
long to the L. i. c. 5.

them, eighteen, has pleaded with my
mother to come to the house only
to hear me sing. But she is so, self
wilIed she objects. She will not
even let any girls come to the house
or let me go out.

alone. hours at a time. and secretly
wonder if there is such a place as
heaven. / have attempted to end
my life a few times. but thinking
what a disgrace il would be l try to
forget such horrible feelings. l go
out without coat on in winter
time, and do everything under the
sun to get sick and die, but you
can't always die when you want to.
If go around the block by myself
or with some girl friend, mother ana
every sister l have think L am with

movie with a gentleman once in a
while and learn the ways OF the
world, but i can't so without
mothers consent. so whenever I get
the chance 1 always so and don't
stop for a thing"
What ! really want to ask you is
this. I think a good deal of a girl
of sixteen whose home is in Texas.
but she is now in Washington. liv-
ing with an aunt She is also I'M
happy here and expects to return
home as soon as possible. She bcEs
me to return to her homo with her.
Mother objects. and l am writing
to ask you if you think it would be
proper for me to go without moth
er's consent? BROWN EYES.
| hope you will not think of
leaving home without your moth
er's consent at fifteen years of age.
If YOU do, you are likely to wreck
YOUR whole If, a hard thing for
YOU to realize at present, when
home conditions seem so unconge-
NAL to you. From a worldly point
of view, it is the greatest mistake
for you to "sneak" out of the house
and go to movies without your
mothers consent. This will give
people the impression that you are
a fast girl and an undesirable
companion for well-bred boys and
girls. l hope sincerely that your
mother will relax her rule about
not allowing you to have other girl
friends, as a little wholesome
amusement with girls of your own
age would help matters along Won
derfully. This advice may sound
unsympathetic, but one has to be
several times fifteen years old to
realize how much of child fifteen
really Is.
The Washington times., 1919-05-12

For a number Of years there has
been much local discussion about
the bushes advantages Of getting
factories located here, while but
very little IL anything has been ac-
complished. We've got to GO OUT
AFTER the manufacturers. And
IL it means money in Washington's
pocket to have them locate here, it
should be worth the spending Of
money to get them here. Other
cities do it.
IAN organized movement for the
above purpose would be greatly
strengthened by the employment Of
an expert advertising man who
should prepare convincing circu-
lars on the advantages Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia as a suitable and
desirable location for manufaetur-
ing plants. Full page advertise
ments, particularly in manufactu-
ing journals, should be used. A Wig
orous follow-up system should be
employed. A representative should
be sent to interview prospects per-
sonally and bring them here.
such methods would put Wash
ington on the map in a business
way, and the result would be that
before many years this would be
known as a real commercial center,
as many of our State capitals are.

He Breaks Appointments.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
About three months ago l met
soldier boy who asked to call on me.
and I have been going out with
him about three times week and
believe he cares for my company.
The other night he was to call
but did not show up and this is not
the first time he has disappointed
me. He always says he was on
guard or has some reason for NOT
coming over. Sometimes l think
he wants to give me up. but yet ne
is always making dates with me
which makes me think he stil'
cares for my society.
As a rule | think it is a good
plan when a man breaks dates
with a girl for her to do the same
thing by him and let him see how
it feels to be disappointed. 1t might
be we'll to give this young soldier
