In short, SO far as we can make out the
idea Of the BoIshevist is to turn the world
into a shambaes and keep up the mass
shooting until all the population Of the
world is exterminated save the mass shoot
ers who can do the greatest execution. II
is a bloody, violent, murderous cult which
has declared war on the civilized world;
n the challenge should be accepted
promptly, especially in the United States.
The present movement to ship all the mass
shooters back to Russia, to mass shoot and
get mass shot there, is an excellent 0nes
but it might be improved upon by the pas
sage Of a law providing for the mass shoot
ing Of all mass murderers here at home.

Bryan ONLY NAN
WHO HAS AN ALIBI.



What IS the meaning OF Mr.. Bryan's re-
iurH to the limelight2 II signifies primarily
that the democratic politicians sense the
extreme dissatisfaction Of the rank and file
with Mr.. Wilson's leadership. A Wilson IN.
dorgenient promises to be a liability. The
president has alienated the democratic
masaes. The politicians still fear him. but
dimly realize that his reign is rapidly draw
ing to an end.
Mr.. Bryan has many disabilities. Yet
these are being obscured to the democratic
mind by the fact that he parted with the
Wilson administrators away pack in 1915
n can't be saddled with responsibility for
It's failures since then. II he should run
again he would doubtless boast OF his re-
fusa; TO sign the Lusitahia note and cut
away as completely from wisconsin as he
did from CleveIandism In 1886. And he
came nearer election In 1896 than In either
1900 or 1908, although IN the two latter
canfaiens he had a nominaIIy united party
behind him.

not be unnatural for the democratic party to
redrat the old leader. He has an open
