AMERICAN CITIZENS. TOO?

1776. per cent Americans will take
notice that Congressman Davey, of
Ohio, has let the cat out of the bag.
In speech on the floor Of the house
Of representatives on April IA, 1920,
he said:
"Gentlemen, the only law that we
now have is one which applies to the
aliens, and then only as to deporta.
ton. That is an unfortunate fact, be-
cause not every enemy Of his country
is an alien. Some Of them are natur-
allied citizens, and occasionally you
will find a native born.''
Here is the points. Under the Immi-
grafton Act, you can arrest, Jail and
deport an alien for merely holding GER
tain opinions. But you cannot legally
punish an individual American citizen
for holding an opinion or expressing it,
unless he does some overt act which
clearly proves that he has a seditious
intent to destroy our form Of govern
ment.
But Palmer's proposed sedition bill,
which Davey introduced, required no
overt act. With such law, corpora
ton politicians can easily "get' the
members Of labor unions, farmer or
CARNATIONS, or anybody, for saying or
doing practically anything displeasing
to big business or persons in political
power.
Consider the switchmen's strike.
Palmer claims that this strike was in
cited by I. w. VS., in an attempt
to overthrow the government, and it's
leaders were lodged in jail, charged
with violating the Lever Act, which
the administration itself pledged would
not be applied to labor organizations.
Secretary Morrison, of the A. F.. of
L., flatly denies, that I. W. VS. or So
cialists had anything to do with the
strike; that it was for living wages, and
by men exasperated by the failure of
the government itself to keep its prom
ises. We believe Morrison is right.
But this is one example Of what the
whole liberal, progressive movement of
America may expect if Palmer and
Davey slip over the law they are de-
handing.
Out in Kansas, the other day, a
farmer was denied citizenship papers
because he was a member of the Non
partisan League. Think these things
over, and watch Congress.

THE CAUSE OF IT,

The country has been having some

ers from higher up. They are self
imposed for good and sufficient rea-
sons.
But the railroad flare-up was a sharp
note Of warning against dallying too
long with questions that involve life
and happiness for working people.
The cost Of living has gone up faster
than wages. That means that wages
haye gone down. Real wages have
tumbled. There may: be as many dol
lars, tor more dollars, in the pay en-
velope-but: they buy less.
American workers dom like to have
their wages cut. They are looking
forward, not backward. They seek
more of life and Of the satisfactions
and achievements Of life, not less.
Snug persons who cut coupons and
sit on the lid will do well to give a
thought to the depth Of the situation.
The gap between: wages and cost of
living is too wide. r.. ~
The railroad trouble is over-but it
will be well if there are no breaches

THE TRUTH ABOUT POST.

Assistant Secretary Of Labor, Louis

Davey, johnson and Hoch as being a
man "whose sympathies are evidently
with the enemies of our government

They charge that Post has kept in
America thousands Of dangerous an
archists' Palmer wanted deported. Is
this trues ABSOLUTELY NO. Here
are the facts:
$50 aliens have been ordered. de-
ported: by Post for violating
the law:
200 cases are pending.
1900 have been cancelled after full
hearings, because Palmer's
agents were unable to pro-
duce any evidence against
them.
Mr.. Post has respected and followed
the long'established principles Of Amer.
lean law and procedure. He has acted
like real judge and refused to play
a political game. Hence he is hated
by the ambitious willing to climb to
power on falsehoods over the bodies
Of the despised and helpless, and
trample the Constitution in the dust
while doing it.
When the people know the truth
about this whole business, they will
be shocked and outraged. They will
be as ashamed of the heresy hunter Of
stroudberg, just as they are now
ashamed Of the witch hunters Of Salem,
and that they they will honor Louis F.

kind should join Sunday school and

MULTUM IN ARVO

A well-known lawyer, small in stat ure but mighty in intellect, was, in his youthful days, opposed by an attorney, a veritable giant in size and the pos sessor of a most intimidating Hammer. Going up to the foung attorney, who looked not much larger than Tom Thumb in comparison, the giant gulf fawed down upon him:
 Are you the attorney opposing me :? Why, l could put you in my vest pocket"
 Perhaps" said the unabashed lit- tie man; "but if you did so you would have more law in your pocket than you ever had in your head!"

those new words, anyhow? They look real, but when try them on my piano they get the player gear out of mesh. Who writes the things that are print ed about automobiles and why? Do you really miss your drinks or are you the paid tool of devilish propaganda? Read something the other day in the fashion section about a wave of pink corsets coming. The reason is they blush at the deceit they encompass. When l was out of town not long ago the waitress at the grub palace told me she had pork jowl, chicken breast, calf liver, lamb kidneys, OK joints, turkey legs and pigs feet. She was a fair locker at that, but when she came back and proudly announced that she also had calves brains and pork hooks 1 told her to write to some mu- scum. Not that l care particularly, but just for curiosity l would like to hear what kind of speech Bill Bryan could make if he had enough rye in him to reach the Plimsoll mark.

Someone was recalling the other night the days when bears were more plentiful in the nearby mountains than now. They were when the pipeline was being laid from the spring that supplies Flagstaff's water to the reser- voir.
 A couple of men working up on the side of the San Francisco moun- tains noted that every night the bears came to their camp to pick up the food-scraps thrown out. They de- cided to get them. So, one night they took their rifles and climbed a tree a short distance from camp and along the trail the bears followed. They had been up there an hour or so when they saw three big bears between themselves and camp, and coming to- ward them. One of the fellows took fright, dropped his gun and lost hold on his limb. As he fell he grabbed his companion, and down they both went When they struck ground they were still in possession of their full powers of locomotion, and, leaving their guns, ran for their lives away from camp They got lost, nearly froze, and didn't find camp again until late the next afternoon.
 That was their last attempt at bear hunting.
