THE WAY IT'S DONE.

The fellow who comes up to us
boldly on the street and demands
and gets our purse and watch is
not so dreaded as the burglar who
with masked Visage and dark liant
ern enters our apartments in the
stiffness of the night and arouses us
from peaceful slumbers to a real
izing sense of our loss. In each
case it is bad enough but the sly
prowler is by far more dangerous
than the open operator and he OBJ
viously collects heavier toll.
This is a homely way, perhaps,
try today. There abroad a men
ance wearing a dark mask and it is
striking down in every conceivable
way the fundamentals of free gov
eminent and robbing the people of
priceless heritage.
AS we may not always see the
burglar or be familiar with his mode
of operation so we do not always see
the marauder who enters the sanctu-
airy of our national safety to despoil
it nor are we always cognizant of
the means he employs.
We find him working through a
variety of organizations. Usually
it is necessary in order to carry out
his program to screen his real OBJ
jects for the first step is to delude
those with whom he comes into con-
tact and to lull them into sense of
false security.
1t is an organization composed of
men who are disposed to protest a
gainst certain existing conditions,
and with justification as often as
not, the invaders feel they can the
quickest witness the sprouting of
their seeds Of discomfort. They Of
fer all sorts of impossible solutions
and sometimes they make such a
plausible showing their remedies for
various ills are accepted.
But at no time is it intended that
there shall be any real correctives
applied. The proposed remedies
constitute simply a seductive bait |
covering hook from which it is diff |
ficult to escape when it is once fast
ened upon the victim.
Herein lies the success of these |
cunning and often clever men to lay |
the foundation in the most unsus-
pectig minds.
rom the basis of dissatisfaction
there is bred discomfort and finally
the mask is laid aside and those
men attempt to align those they
have grouped around them with doc
.rines most dangerous to American
SIN. They go just as far as they
an and often feel safe in Installing
ito the minds of those who have
mt them ready ear over the doc ]

trines of total disrption of our gov
eminent and the substitution of
Bolshevism with all it's damnable
practices.
1t is necessary, therefore, on the
our constitution and to whose hearts
the cause of Americanism is dear to
maintain a strict watchfullness and
to keep the gun of loyalty loaded and
within reach.
This ia duty imposed upon all
good citizens as sacred as any in
junction ever laid upon them for
for the protection of their homes and
the preservation of their country.
