Treatment of Radicals.

New York's refusal to seat five So
cialists in its house of representa-
aives, following right on the heel OF
the deportation of alien Reds, has
caused a reaction in sentiment against
Attorney General Palmer's method OF
handling radicals. Keen observers
fear free speech and the right of as
sembly. as guaranteed by our consti-
tuition, are imperiled, and some go so
far as to believe Mr.. Palmer is in
stituting ,czaristic tactics which
might later endanger our Democratic
institutions.
In speaking of the deportation OF
aliens, The Clinton Democrat. edited
by a very able man, warns:
or course, any conspiracy TO use
force TO overthrow the institutions OF
this country should be severely pun
ished, but so long as an offense Is
limited TO the propagation of ideas
OI futdiSs oOoofNf
tion and intelligent counter propa'
ganda are the real remedies. II the
majority of the people OF this coun-
dry are such fools as to adopt a ruin
GUS policy, 1t is their lookout and
they will suffer along with the rest
Persecution will not neutralize ideas.
Many a movement has fattened OF
persecution. Besides. there is no In,
fallible means of determining In all
cases what is good and what is bad,
and no competent authority to make
ex-cathedra decisions. In Other
words, to use the expression of one
of the Nsrthern Senators, you car
deport an individual. but you cam
deport an idea" Bolshevik tendencies
should be met by clear-cut doctrines
of Americanism. II is the only RENE
dy for this political evil. Bolshevism
should not be encouraged by making
martyrs out OF Emma Goldman and
her tribe.

Nann l. a Winner.

This paper regrets very much thai
AIR r. W. Lemmond was forced tC
withdraw from the Congressional
race on account of illness in his fam

Ann, with messages 10 his friends
over the district acqUaintiHg them
with his intention to make the race.
He is oozing with confidence. and his
demeanor is inspiring his Democratic
friends TO action.
In making the race. Mr Eann has
assumed burden OF great proper
tions. The campaign will occupy his
time. his thoughts, and will impose
a steady. ever-increasing drain upon
his financial resources until the pri-
mary in June. He entered the race
on the solicitation of Democrats, as
sembled in convention. ana il is up
to the members of the party in this
county TO bear share OF this burden.
Union county has been demanding
recognition long enough. 1t is time
for MS TO secure that recognition
which is our due by waging an az
sressive, intelligent campaign for Mr.

of the primary.
Mr.. Nann is a man who will COM
mand The respect and confidence OF
the voters Of the district. When it
becomes known that his county is
backing him to a man the battle is
half-won. Hesitation and doubt are
CONTIGUOUS. Determination and con-
fidence are the best vote-getters
known. With these two forces back
ing him in Union county, Mr.. vann
