The Curse of Bolshevism


 Bolshevism is most deadly in its re- suits because it is primarily 8 state of mind. It seems to be combination of class suspicion and hate, personal jeal- ousy, covetousness and envy. and the will to power. The more ignorant. brutal and stupid, the better equipped a man is to believe in practice bolshevism.
 Bolshevism is the sodden .determinatio by great numbers of the brutal and ig- norant among men to use their brute force to batter down all government, de- stroy all the achievements of the human mind and establish the proletariat in the rulership of the world. The whole rrop- osition is absolutely repulsive and menacing that one marvels how any rea- sonable human being can look upon it without honor.
 In western civilization, through the ages, the attempt has been made, often unsuccessfully, to put government in the hands of the wise, the good and the strong. Bolshevism would put all gov ernment in the hands of the ignorant. and the vicious. It is absolutely undem- ocratic because it's starts out as pro- letarian dictatorship. and would go to pieces the moment that it lost the au- thority of self-appointed despotsm.
 There Is a singular likeness between boshevism and Prussianism. Prussian- ism proposes to exploit the many in the interests of the few. using in the pro- cess lying propaganda, every conceivable form Of hypocrisy. and continuous tradink upon human weaknesses Hav- ing prepared the psychological soil. Prussanism uses brute force to crush all opposition.
 Bolshevism is Prussianisrn turned up- side down. It proposes, by the use of lying propaganda. to break down mental and moral opposition. and then by brute force to seize what is is after It's theory is to make the few support the many.
 In Russia bolshevism has Jeen living upon the accumulated economic results of past cges. When this accumulation .s exhausted. bolshevism as a social and economic syreem. will collapse There is hardly European country that is not saturated more or less with the Lolshevik ;dea. We have little of 1t here in America, so far as external forms ale concerned. and a great deal of it in the actual mental and moral attitude of mil- lions of peonie

Senator Harding's Possessions

Hlchard Barry, In LeSlleS.
 In his twenties Harding joined with two other young men, John Sickel and Jack Warwick, and purchased the Marion Star then defunct newspa- per, for $500 cash and an additional note for a similar amount. Harding's father, a country doctor, loaned him his hundred dollars. Sickel, who had no penchant for newspaper work, shortly got out, selling his interest to Harding for part cash and part prom dssory note. A few years later War wick, now known throughout the coun try as a paragrapher on the Toledo Blade, sold his interest to Harding on q similar basis, and departed for wider professional opportunity. This left Harding sole owner of a very strug- cling country newspaper in a town of 6 900 and burdened with debt. In 1891 Harding married Florence King, daughter of Marion's richest citizen at that time MT. Kling disapproved the match and for seven years after the marriage did not recognize his son. tn-law. He never gave him the least Financial assistance. By that time. The Marion Star had proved to be a moneymaker and Harding was squareiy on his own financial feet.
 From the time of her marriage, Mrs. Harding was associated actively in the business, occupying a desk in the office. She inherited some of the busi- mess ability of her father, and is gen erally credited in Marion with be- ang of vital assistance to her husband tn the practical upbuildng of their fortunes.
 Marion grew from town of 5000 tn 1890 to a city of assoc in 1920. The Star is it's most important newspaper. The valuation placed upon it by news paper men is about S200,000. although it is safe to say that Senator Harding would not sell for that amount.
 Years ago. before he went to the Senate, MT. Harding voluntarily, and ao the surprise of his associates, placed the Star on a cooperative basis.
 Outside of the Star Senator Hard ing holds stock in many of the large enterprises in Marion and, except for government bonds, he holds no stock elsewhere. The upbuilding of Marion aas been the dominant note in his fi- nancial policy. From the time that he first had a hundred dollars to spare he has never refused to invest in any enterprise that appeared to have a chance to build up the town.

COLD WEATHER
SLOWS UP WORK
Concrete Work on New Res
ervoir CurtaiIed as Result
of Fall in Temperature.

The cold snap Of last week and the
rain yesterday and today has result
ed in the work on the new water
reservoir slowing up considerably.
With the top already on a portion of
the large reservoir 1t is doubtful II
much more work can be done until
after freezing weather has again
passed, 1t being impossible to do the
cement work in such low tempera-
lures.
Favored by unusually warm
weather for the fall of the year the
contractors, Snare & Triest, made
great headway during the months of
September and October after having
been held up considerably at the
start as a result Of trouble in getting
machinery and materials to the site.
According to the contract the work
on the reservoir must be completed
by July of next year. With good
weather conditions prevailing in the
spring 1t is not expected that any
trouble will be experienced In COM
pleting the work by that date owing
to the good headway made already.
The huge concrete supports. spac-
ed at intervals of few feet, extend
ing from the bottom of the reservoir
to the top, give the understructure
the appearance of large forest os
large, limbless trees from which the
bark has been scraped. The excava-
tion has been completed and the bot
tom almost all poured in. While the
sides of the reservoir are being con :
structed In one portion, the pillars
are going in at another spot and the
top Is being added to another. sec-
tion. Thuslall parts are getting fear

FAMILY TROUBLE
SETTLED IN COURT

Acting Recorder Stephen +.
Somogyi settled an argument of
long standing in the recorders court
this morning. The trouble was over
the ownership of certain articles in
restaurant on Water street. The
recorder settled the matter by hav-
ing a Mrs. Conquest agree to pay to
Chief Burke $3.50, who in turn will
hand that amount to a Mrs. Blaney,
mother of the first named party, and
Mrs. Blaney will allow her daugh-
ter to retain certain articles fixed
by the recorder in the building
where they are at present.
When the case came before the
court this morning mother and son
were lined up against daughter. The
son claimed his mother furnished
the money for his sister and himself
to open the restaurant business, but
they could not agree. and the sister
requested her brother and mother
to move out, The sons story goes
on to say that the sister damaged
considerable property as they at
tempted to move out.
Other differences between the
family will be settled in civil court.

INVITATION OF MEXICO
By The Associated Press.

by The Associated Press.
BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Nov. II
-President-eIect Harding's reply
to the invitation given him yester-
day to>visit Mexico during his south
ern trip probably will be determined
upon during the next twenty-four
hours, as he travels by special train
from Brownsville to New Orleans.
Leaving here at 10 o'clock this
morning at the end of a nine days
vacation Senator Harding was to
reach New Orleans at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning and in the course
of five-hour stay was to deliver an
address before the New Orleans
Association of Commerce. If it
should be decided to change his
steamers course to permit a call at
Vera Cruz. it is probable that an
announcement will be made before
he reaches the Louisiana port.
There were no indications before
his departure, however, whether he
would accept the invitation which
came yesterday from Mexican off,
cials.

PROTEST AGAINST
ARMIES OF OCCUPATION

By The Associated Press.
BERLIN, Nov. 16-Alhed armies
of occupation in Germany are being
maintained at strength which is
unnecessary. said Foreign Minister
Simons In a speech at Cologne to-
day. He contended the allied in
tention in thus keeping the forces
in a high state of efficiency was not
defensive but offensive.
The foreign minister asked the
reason why the Rhine bridgehead
had been extended, why military
bakeries capable of turning out
100000 rations daily had been es-
tablished. why new strategic, Rhine
bridges had been prepared and why
Belgian troops. equipped almost
ready for the march, have been sta
toned in tactical positions behind
the army of occupation. He de-
clared these features of the situa-
ton gave the impression that terri
tory along the line was being used
not for purposes of security but as
Jumping off" ground for further
encroachments upon Germany.
A warm protest against Germany
being saddled with the expenses of
these armies was voiced by the for
eign minister.
