AMERICA ALWAYS

The American people very often rise up in after generations to decorate a man with halos after having dubbed him dub and many things of like character, because he used horse sense in handling public question which, to the inno- cent bystander, looked like a most popular thing He, the innocent bystander, only looked at the glittering case and never thought that the thing wouldn't work if put up in such beautiful out side case. The time will come when Senator Lodge will be given halo for his work in pro- tecting the American people from all the egotism embodied in the league of nations as personified by President Wilson. It was the stalwart little body with brains which kept America out oi troubles that would not have been settled in this or the next several generations had they not had the foresight to pick out the things they were obligated to do for all Europe, regardless of mothers and sisters, who though Wilson "kept us out of war" and that his love for his mothers grave in England, had no pull in assisting him to make the deal that put England back on top with the United States at the bottom-the rest of Europe in between. As the years go by, the of the boys who are still lover there" will come to realize that brains are more to be followed than pretty words," and Senator Lodges name will be hung up high among those who would rather serve their country than be popular for the moment.
 As good Americans we are all against war. yet why should we allow President Wilson to tie America to every war that can possibly happen for years to come in Europe; guarantee that our sons and their sons shall shoulder gas mask or gun and go forth to fight when Europe calls. Peace terms"-they are peace terms only for Europe-because the European countries feel safe if Uncle Sam will put his money and men back of it and send them over whenever they are demanded.
 It is easy enough to get into fight-Amer- ica will do as she always has done get in to help humanity, but she does not want to guarantee ail the fights that Europe can rib up Be they either for aggression or money that some other power happens to have.
 In time to come the most radical of radicals will be glad that stalwart Americans again came to the front and kept us out of troubles which did not belong to us-and it is worth the answer that is bound to come.

BAKER PASSING THE BUCK"

Persons who have been following the trend of agitation against "slackers" had hoped for a showdown by the war department in the Broms case Again they were disappointed. As in every other case of like nature which has come before the war department for action, the secre- tary neatly side-stepped the issue and passed the buck" to the department of justice.
 Not alone former service men, but thousands of patriotic Americans hoped that MT. Baker would be pinned down to a definite announcement of policy in dealing with conscientious objectors, when Commander D'Olier and committee of the American Legion called upon him and asked for action in the Broms case. This particular case was not shrouded in mitigating circumstances" nor was there any lack of details, and the judge advocate general of the army had recommended that he be properly punished. Did MT. Baker adopt firm poicy and tell the Legion men he would or would not act in the matter?
 He did not

MIDDLE CLASSES SHOULD BE ALERT

The strength of the United States govern ment lies in the power of the great middle class. These people are neither real rich nor real poor. They are the satisfied class, the people who have homes, who want good schools and who desire to have religious liberty maintained
 There are thousands of men and women of foreign birth aided by some native Americans of wild ideas who would gladly see the present form of government in America overthrOwn and a b,l- sheviki form of rule substituted with scme wis ionary looter like Leon Trotzky in power.
 When nation becomes really prosperous and powerful there always is movement by the un- thinking and the criminal to start footing. Ephe- sus was footed by the radicals and never was re- built Athens met the same fate and Alexandria also. They have perished long ago because the middle classes permitted the radicals to loot and plunder and destroy.
 ss The real bolsheviki is a destroyer. Socialism is too slow for him except as a camOufage. He wants to loot and destroy the property owners and property. He sees prize of $250, 900, ,00O, 900 accumulated wealth and he wants it without work or law. Trotzky, the political lunatic, who has led Russia to ruin, advised the workers in America to throw down the spades and get guns. This advice is radical and appeals to looters who would rather take a short cut to imaginary op- ulence than to dig for it.
 SThe middle classes of this country have an annual income of $50,000, 100000. The income of the whole population is $25O,0O0, 100000. The l0Oters have their enviOus eyes on this income. The middle classes will do well to arouse from their slumber in apparent security to the neces sity of protecting themselves against this men, ace. They feel secure. So did the Ephesians, the Athenians and the Alexandrians. There is al- ways security before the coming of the storm. It would be well for the great middle classes in the United States to rise as one man and smite the radical who would overthrow the present form of government and loot the land of it's accumu- lated wealth.
 Bolshevism is nothing but organized burglary. The leaders have the ideas and the methods of the common night robber. His intentions are to destroy and kill and loot. Therefore, it is up to the law-abiding Americans to protect them selves.-Douglas Despatch.

Admiral Sims has de cned to accept one of the medals for the reason that, in his opinion, they represent distinguished political and not military services. Many dis couraging reports have come from government departments during the last six months; but there is none which will awaken more disgust in the minds of loyal Americans than the charge that the medals struck to commemorate valiant service in the navy during the war are to adorr. the breasts of deserving democrats.
