The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1920-01-07

tnat are Caesars and again, "Let ev-
cry soul be subject TO the higher pow
ers for the arc ministers to thee for
good"
These are words of the christ, the
Divine Son of God and VIC cannot mis-
take their meaning, neither can we
disobey them.
ALL are to be.subject, not only
those who choose TO be-.
The governing powers are ministers
to us for good. By wise and good
government and likewise by bad and
unwise government. The latter to
make US see the error of our ways and
to awake and take a hand and inter-
est IN the affairs of our community
and nation. Too many good men have
beer content to leave the government
OF the country to professional: poilti-
clans and they have allowed the enc
my to slip in. Now, right thinking men
must awake and be ready to serve and
support their government. ii1 over
the world today there is a concerted
effort to overthrow these higher pow
e:S OF which the Christ sneaks. We
have but to look at Russia to see tie
effects OF overthrown government.
Russia is today, nothing gut a sec;,.-
ing hell.
From Russia has spread over the
whole world agencies Of the evil fore
es who"are trying to destroy all that
is good.
Onalchism, Communism, Socialism,
and l. W. W.isnl. all are working
through their various agencies to des-
Moy.
In Il oNn fair land we have these
terrible agencies at work. Great num-
bers\of them are at work. Strikes in
every part of the country in most S
es not by the will cf the workers but
by the will of paid agitators whose
only business is to stir up strife.
One result OF tho work Of the de-
stroyer in this country was the shoot
ing Of members of the American I.c-
gion in the state of Washington. Men
who had been willing to give their all
for their government. Men who have
come back wounded and mentally
rackec as a result Of the great price
they paid for you md for me.
Not only is this condition in our
country at large out we hav: a condi-
ton in our own state that is far from
healthy.
We have a government in power put
there by the efforts of men outside OF
the state, many Of whom lave been
convicted of crimes agains.. the ma
ton. Most OF whom give their poll
tical affiliations as Socialist.
Rev. Walker said:-"Now ] do not
want you to think that I am speaking
against the farming clement of this
state for I am not. Some CT us are
able to discriminate against the farm
err and the gang that has stolen his
movement and are using it for it's
w benefit at the great cost of the
farmer. l have travelled ever this
state very much the past two years
and have met thousands Of the farm
ing people and am SURF that they are
as good and loyal a part of this nation
as will be found in any part of the
country but they have been misled
and mis-instlucted by INSCRIPTIONS
spoilers"
We have a state government that
recognizes the RED FLAG of Anar-
chy. A government that invites and
protects the l.. w. w. and when a COM
munity wishes to protect itself against
thair oati,yifioc rrof,, oHJo,,. L. ill.,.
hands off,"
A government that resorts to most
damnab]e practices that they may so
control the educatit nal institutions of
the state as to be able 10 Insert their
n%efaricus teachings in our school
books.
A government that has officials who
have purchased books of extreme So
cia]ist teaching and would il permit
ted circulate them throughout the
state.
A government that has taken away
the American right Of the Free Press
and through their protected press
have so perverted the truth as to stir
up strife, set class against class ev-
erywhere.
Rev. Walker said:-"I suppose SOME
ole will say that Walker is taking this
opportunity to get back at the Jour
nal for it's attack upon him. No, tile
present day conditi>ns are TIC serious
and dangerous for any r%e!-blooded
American to resort to revenge and to
vent his spleen. I wish to say here
politically that l take as a great COM
pliment any thing written against me
in any s~ocialistic newspaper"
What is an American? One who
loves his country and supports her
Constitution and is unwilling that it
should be thrown aside.
Americanism is an Americans rela-
tionship to his country.
We have three kinds of Americans.
The WHITE, the American who
stands for and supports MS country
against everything that would destry
it.
The RED. the so-cal1oI American
