OIL TANKS PLACED

A crew of men in tiN employ of
the Standard Oil Company have been
on the grounds all week installing
the two large oil tanks at the new
distributing station here. The tanks
are of q capacity of 1900 gallons
each, and will be used to receive all
oil and gasoline to be distributed in
the Westport district. The plant will
probably be turned over to the local
management within week or two.
All pipe connections were made and
pumps installed this week.

This Week Likely to See Drastic
Steps to Curb the Alien AgitatOr

majority goes much farther than
passing a drastic anti-sedition
law. 1t has three steps: First, to
get rid of the undesirables; sec
ond, to Americanize those that
can't be gotten rid of by law:
third, to be more effective in selec-
tion of immigrants, so that we will
not be getting in other undesir-
ables from the old world as fast
as we weed out those that are
here.
The attitude Of the rules commit

understood. and Representative
Simeon D. Fess Of Ohio. chairman
of the republican congressional
committee, was looked upon as
leading the opposition.
Representative Fess is in favor of
legislation to be more effective in
prosecution of those enemies of the
country. He does not see any rea-
son why the alien should be per-
mitted to harangue an audience in
this country or to use his pen for
the same purpose. He and his

that liberty by using it as a license
to attack the very government that
guarantees them the liberty. They
have found by careful analysis that
the intensity of these attacks is in
direct proportion to the restrictive
force in the governments under
which those preachers of sedition
have suffered.
So boiled down the sentiment Of
the House as voiced by leaders of
both the republican and democratic
parties is that nobody is justified
in saying that because we believe
in liberty we are going to allow
these aliens to propagate here their
anti-government ideas.

Now the real position of the

conscious for the first time of its
power, and sturdily standing for the
support of the government.
There should be, then, an end to the
muzzling of the newspapers regard

This is a danger SO real, so Prussian.
in so playing into the hands of the
enemy, that the people are entitled to
the fullest knowledge of its diabol-
ical extent and its foreign origin. II
is neither more nor less than an
extension of the German system of
sowing discord, that she may reap
victory. A country which is unset
tied by labor strikes and radical ac-
tivities cannot successfully compete
with a German Russian coalition,
either in a political or military sense.
Deportation alone will not solve the
problem, so long as we have in our
midst the radical element in Ameri-
can labor, American born and bred,
and so long as in our colleges men
are allowed to teach the new genera
tion that it is right to impose the
will of the few upon the many. These
men see in so-called bolshevism an
APPROACH to idealism. What they do
not see is that to attempt to impose
it upon an unwilling people means a
repetition of the French commune,

tumbrils, it's guillotine, and-its un-

feel. be given most careful con-
sideration. first by the committee.
where both sides should be given a
hearing, and then be widely discus
sed on the floor of Congress.
After all, they say. we must con-
slider not only the need for sup
pressing this evil by law, but also
of removing it by an Americaniza-
tion drive-a process Of education.
This latter. they say. is the real
safeguard for the future. Law of
itself is simply restrictive, and
while you prevent a thing from be-
ing done for fear of punishment,
you can't by law change the desire
to do it.
The big problem in connection
with sedition is to adopt construc-
tive methods by which through a
system of education we compel a
different attitude of mind toward
our government and our institu.-
tions.
To accomplish this great
Americanization drive is in mind,
