DEPORT ALL RADICALS.

The government has. at last started
the proper move to end bolshevism il
the United States-the deportation t,
Russia Of the agitators who want q
Russian soviet government here
There is nothing unjust in this move
ment. These people want a soviet
government and it is proper that they
be sent to country that already has
one established. In this way the
agitators ought to be satisfied and
the American people are delighted to
have them sent away
Our government has been entirely
too lenient with these agitators There
has been entirely too much freedom of
speech. Men with strong voices and
warped minds have gone on, unmol-
ested, in formenting trouble, denounc-
ing the government that protected
them and trying to scatter discon-
tent and rebellion among the people.
No one is as happy as the contented
man and the man or woman who sows
discomfort is detriment to the hui
man race. Yet it has been that any
man who could secure soap box
could get up in the street and soon
gather crowd to listen to his har-
angue against the government. But if
he were arrested or assaulted by some
red blooded American, he would ap-
peal to the law and the government
he denounced to protect him.
1t is announced that the federal,
authorities have card index report
of 10000 radical agitators, who are
booked for deportation. This is
disgrace, that that number could be
congregated in this country and be
permitted to run at large, denouncing
the government, calling strikes, SOW
ing the seeds of discomfort and dis
loyalty among the workmen and go
unpublished. Tardy action is now be-
ing taken. These people are not to
be punished for treason. They are
simply to be sent back to the kind of
a government they profess to want,
but they ask the laws of the country
they would destroy, to prevent their
deportation. F
WE WELCOME THE STUDENTS
Moscow welcomes he hundreds of
young men and young women of the
University of Idaho who have re-
turned from their holiday vacation.
The town missed them when they
were gone and is glad to have them
return. They are an asset to Mos
cow and the citizens fully appreciate
this fact.
They have, no doubt, had a good
time. They visited their homes and
their kindred. They spent the happy
holiday season with loved ones and
In familiar scenes. They come back
to work (and it is work from now
until commencement day, next June)
with renewed energy and reawakened |
ambition.
There should be a closer relation :
ship between the citizens Of the town t
and the university people, and especi- t
ally between the men and women of :
Moscow and the students. More of {
he students should be invited to our T
homes and made to feel that we take G
! personal interest in them. They
