HANG THEI. W. W. THUGS

HANG THEI. w. W. THUGS
THOSE mad anarchists of Russia,
/ the Bolsheviki, avowed enemies OF
all social order, of all forms of govern.
ment whether the autocratic rule Of a
car or tn 1t of democracy chosen by
the people themselves. aided by German
intrigue, are busily spreading their
damnable doctrines throughout our land.
Their purpose is not to set up some form
of popular self.rule, but to tear down
all government, to substitute for the
autocracy of a hereditary monarch, a
car, for instance, something even worse
the autocracy of the mole
Their agents and co-workers here are
those pestiferous foes of the Republic
and of all law, the l. w. WIS. and the
pro-German conspirators who have for
four years been plotting against this
Government on behalf of Germany.
These maniacs deny the right of men
to own property, of the courts to enforce
the laws, and are trying to destroy the
very foundations of Church and State,
in one word, to overturn Civilization
itself.
Ordinarily no one fears these wild
notions that defy all the laws of God and
man, the vile spawn Of Russian tyranny
bred in soil of utter ignorance. But
at this critical period of world unrest
and war shock they are much more to
be feared, for several reasons.
l. The presence in our country of a
large body of foreigners to number
100000 - totally ignorant of our
language. customs and government.
2. The cminous fact that the man
nearest the President and whom be
constantly consults, and who is believed
to inspire his leading policies. an
obscure politician from Texas named
"Col." House, is the author of a book
filled with these dangerous anarchistic
doctrines held by the Bolsheviki and
the l. w. WIS.
8. The fact that the President year
ago in his address to Congress expressed
a sympathy for and belief in the Boil
sheviki whose wild deeds Of murder and
rapine under the leadership of Lenine
and Trotzky, two hireling emissaries
of Germany have brought chaos in
Russia. The President acclaimed Boil
shevism as the 'voice of the Russian
people" and the latest and best ex-
preston of democracy. Indeed he
suggested that this Bolsheviki mob be
formally recognized as the responsible
government IN Russia
Our own brand of Bolshevism-a
foreign-bred ulcer-the "Ipdependent
Workers of the World" or l. w. WIS.
have been repeatedly convicted of
bomb outrages and of reasonable con-
spiracies against the Government. The
disinclination of Atty. Gen. Gregory at
first to prosecute these and other pro-
German outlaws, encouraged them in
their violent deeds.
Several days ago these foes of man.
kind, in three different places in Phila-
delphia exploded bombs in murderous
attempt to kill Supreme Court judge,
q Captain Of police and a leading busi-
ness man in their homes. More chance
saved the lives of their victims although

boldly announced their purpose to de-
stroy many more private dwellings to-
gether with the City Hall and even
that sacred, venerated relic of our
liberties, Independence Hall
These enemies of mankind should be
exterminated without mercy just as a
pack of wolves. or man-eating tigers
invading city. President Frank Gowan
of the B. and o. Railroad, years ago
when the bloodthirsty Molly Maguires
were terrorizing Pennsylvania with the
assassin's knife and torch, gave fine
example of prompt and fearless action
