Attorney General Palmer doesn't
believe in letting his left hand know
what his right is doing evidently
And perhaps he doesn't intend for
the people TO know either.

claimed to be engaged in ardent pur-
suit Of red radicals Of all types and
shades and from time to time he re-
ports that no measures Will De

sedi,ious activities within the United
states, Then again ne sends re-
straining instructions to state ana

The instructions were not followed
by Attorney Hoyne Of Illinois. evil

or more /. ". VS. and other radicals
in Chicago on New Years day. Prob
q bly, the Attorney Generals letter
,vas not expected TO be made known
% the public as MI. Hoyne is a
Democrat. but he has generously
given its sentiment TO the world with
his own comment for good measure.
He said:
Apparently Attorney General
Palmer or some of his friends are
playing petty politics with the situa-
ton and are pursuing a pussyfoot
policy. Expressing M opinion as
citizen and Democrat, l do not be-
iieve Nero or any other fiddler can
be elected President of the United
states"
Speaking Of fddling, in October
Attorney General Palmer made a
statement in which he said:
Every anarchist or Ped in the
country is ticketed and labelled like
so much dry goods. He can be
reached at any time. The peril from
;he Reds in America is greatly ex-
aggerated There are very few of
them here and those few are under
surveillance
He goes ON to intimate that the
few who are here are maligned by
the public who suspect them of be-
ing at the bottom of the strikes, race
riots and other disturbances in our
heretofore peaceful midst. He ad-
mits that they make a noise. rather
loud noise in fact, but that heart
they merely are the victims of GER
tain mental processes that result in
doctrines which they just have to
work out of their systems, like a dog
that barks from sheer JOY. Cnfor-
tunateiy the poor things, the Reds
not the dogs. are spilling their preci-
Gus doctrines right in the midst of
this time Of the aforesaid strikes,
riots, ct al, and so get blamed for
them This may explain the restrain
ing letter to Attorney Hoyne.
Now the right hand comes out into
the light and holds forth a statement
from the Attorney General in which
he declares that the year 1920 will be
open season for hunting radicals, that
the policy Of the department of JUS
tice' foE the ensuing year will be one
Of 'unhinching, persistent and ag-
gressive warfare" against this class
Of offenders. that no quarter will be
shown and that every movement
aimed at the government will be
dealt with sternly.
Is this Mr.. Palmer's real purpose
or Is it only a New Years resolu-
ton?
