Fort Dodge, March 22.-Teachers
OF the United States will never let
II come to pass that bolshevism, with
all the accompanying horrors. VIII
reign in this Countrywide country
that Edmund Burke and william Pitt
said had the most wonderful form OF
government ever struck off by the
hand of man, said DR.. Newell Dwight
Hills last night in an address, 1.-The
Teachers Fight Against Bolshe-
vism," to the Northwest Iowa Teach
ers' Association at the Methodist
church.
NO nation is safe without the
services OF it's educators and moral
| teachers, but last year nearly $4,000
teachers were literally starved out OF
our schools and 10000 ministers got
out Of the ministry in an honorable
way because they felt they could not
support themselves and families" DR..
Hills said.
He attacked Karl Marks theory OF
state socialism and denounced Marx
as an anarchist whose vision of the
world was as yellow as the jaundice
which affected his eyes. Marx had
no religion; he preached the doctrine
Of let man do as he please" and yet
acquire the ownership of nothing
all land and property to be owned by
the state, he said.
Buy Guns, Said TTotE@Hy.
Those principles of MARKHAM soci-
alism have now been enthroned by
force of arms on 10000, 900 people
in Russia, in many respects the rich
est land in the world" DR.. HILLS
said. And the feat was accomplished
by none other than a group of radi-
cal New York Russian Jews, who
overthrow the republic and. set up a
reign of terror. Before Trotzky sailed
from New York March 26, 1917, Sc
cret service agents heard him say
that the wisest thing American
workingmen could do was TO throw
down their picks and shovels and
buy guns-they would be rich in a
day.
The self-styled Russian soviet
ambassador 20 the United States,
Martens, gave a list of Russian gov
eminent officials. There were only
thirteen Russians out of the entire
list of 37S. More than 200 are New
York radical foreigners. who in spite
of the appeals of England and
|. France We're given passports. The
! first thing they did was to issue an
order confscating ali private prop
erty and executing those who refused
to surrender their property to the
state"
Low Salaries Blame.
Declaring that the present deplora-
bic condition in the teaching profess
sion of a shortage OF qualified teach
ers is due to inadequate compensa-
ton and that no greater problem
confronts the people of Iowa at the
present time than that of providing
better salaries for teachers, the
teachers OF northwest Iowa today
passed resolutions favoring legisla-
aries.
An amendment to the resolutions
passed favored petitioning the state
executive committee to redistrict the
state making permanent division OF
the northwest section, to be held al
Sioux City and Fort Dodge as was
done this year. That a step in this
i; creased
attendance was the statement made
by Superintendent l.. II. Minkel who
cited as example the last two years
when Joint sessions were held. Mr.
Minkel suggested that the Fort Dodge
meeting be called the North Central
Association and the Sioux City the
Northwest ern Association.
