WAKE UP, UNCLE SAM

After about three months of blare and
hullabalo 249 anarchists have been de-
ported. How many have entered the
United States during that time we do not
know, but will risk saying that we have
imported ten times as many as we have
deported. There was time not long ago
when we felt that Nicholas II was cruel
and tyrannical oppressor and that his
subjects were gentle and docile as Mary's
little lamb Recent events have shown
that Nicholas knew much more about his
people than we did, and that Siberia, bad
as it no doubt was, was absolutely neces-
sary for the maintenance of the Russian
government. Nicholas had to have
Siberia or firing squad and he chose the
former. Our people are too good natured
to use a Siberia if they had it, but some
such sort of man's-land is much need
ed, to which we could send not only the
undesirables who have gathered here
from both ends and the middle of the
world, but some of our own REASONABLE
folks, thrown in to make good measure.
AS matters are now going deportation
will never rid this country of the an
archistic foreign element which is al
ready here. They will breed faster than
we are deporting. If we really intend to
put anarchy down and out in this country
we must attack it practically, vigorously
and vigorously. We must speed up de-
portation from 249 in three months, to at
least five times that number, and when
foreigner seeks admission to this country,
upon him should be the burden of proof
TO show that he is not scalawag, a mall
content or person having reasonable
instincts and, if his appearance and Gre
ientiais are not up to strict requirements,
he should be sent home by the first
steamer. The proper time to find out of
what sort an immigrant is, is when he
applies for admission, not after he has
been here five or ten years. We have a
place and a welcome for all people of
foreign birth who will abide peacefully
and industriously with us, but the time
has come when we should shut out those
1Vho come here with the notion that
America is place where they can get
living with very little work and will be
allowed to devote abundant leisure to
plotting against law and order. We have
fooEshly assumed and said that America
was melting pot into which we could
all =, IL
men, unskilled in every useful human
industry except the lowest, and after a
while could dip from the pot refined
American citizens. 1t is strange that the
American public has not realized what
the result must be. It is more than
strange, it is astonishing, that our people
10 not vet realize the danger of Bolshe-
vism which is within their gates, and. if
it is not vigorously dealt with and put
down, will within very few years be
Drodding us from our homes with bayo-
nets. That is what they boldly tell us
they are going to do. That is what they
have been doing, and are now doing, in
Russia. No administration for the last
40 years has dealt wisely or well with
the immigration question because of the
so called Irish vote, the French vote, the
Italian VOTE etc. We presume the pres
en- administration has pretty nearly
reached the height of it's endeavor, and |
that in some terrible year not far in the |
future, all red-blooded Americans will |
aays to fight the Bolshevsts and their
0alI!es in battle which will settle the
question whether the United States is to
remain civilized or is to relapse into bar
barlsm. Do our readers realize that boil
shevism is not only at war against the
courts, against every one who has a
home, against the schools, but is the
bitter enemy of the Christian reIigion7
In Russia they have confiscated all church
property, both real and personal. They
caave suppressed Sunday schools and all
religious teachings as far as possible,
even in the family. The clergy and all
people connected with the churches have
been disfranchised. All recognition of a
Supreme Being is for hidden All debts
have been repudiated. The assets of in
sur nee companies have been confiscated.
DEGREES have been issued which practi-
ecalIy establish free love. All this they
ma We done and more. In brief, destruc-
tion of everything which makes life good
or civilization possible, is their creed and
ractice. These are no vague charges
SUIT are the findings of Congressional
asommittee of Investigation and are taken
