America First
(By Senator Harding of Ohio)

(By Senator Harding of Ohio)
Many have thought the ratification
of the peace treaty and the League of
Nations would make US normal, but
that is the plea of the patent medi-
cine faker whose remedy marvelously
will cure every i'll. Undoubtedly for
NAL peace will help, and would glad
ly speed the day if we sacrificed no
thing vitality American. Yet, as a mat
ter of feat, actual peace prevails and
commerce has resumed its wonted
sway. My creed-call it selfish ma
tionality if you will; think it an in
spiration to patriotic devotion-is
thus expressed: To safeguard Amer
ca first, to stabilize America first, to
prosper America first, to think of
America first, to exalt America first,
to live for and revere America first.

DR.. Lewis named as the three great
est Americans, Washington, Lincoln,
and Theodore Roosevelt. He said that
Washington was great because of the
quality of patience which he had
above every man who has ever lived
in America; and for Lincoln, the quail
ity of understanding human nature
and his wonderful spirit of youth
which he carried into all his life and
action. He pointed to Theodore
Roosevelt as the perfect American
citizen for he knew more and under
stood better every kind of life and ac-

of the world than any other man who
has lived in the history of the repub-
lie and probably of the world so far

Network of Power Lines

The network of electric power lines
leading from Hutchinson throughout
the Arkansas valley west of here, will
soon reach into Ford county. Spear
vile is the latest town to make appli-
cation for an extension of the power
lines.
At present the lines are being con-
structed through Rice, Barton, Stat
ford, Pawnee, Hodgeman and Nc
Pherson counties. All center in
Hutchinson, a big power plant here
providing the electric energy.
In addition to providing the towns
between Hutchinson and Kinsley with
electric power and light, they make it
possible for the farmers to have cheap
electric power for irrigating in this
valley. Hutchinson News.

The Appeal to Reason (now called
the New AppeaD the Socialist organ
of largest circulation said:
Labor demands all the pro-
ducts of its hands-and it is go
ing to have them, let the conse-
quences be what they will. It
may cause the slaughter and
massacre of millions"
John Spargo, for many years a
leader in the Socialist party, former
minister in England, now an Amer
lean citizen, said:
when the. slaves answer the
challenge of socialism and
united war-cry for justice and
economic freedom, all who resist
them will be swept away as chaff,
before the fury of the gale. And
that, I believe, will be the result.
The despoiled and disinherited
urged by the mighty passion of
socialism, will rise and enter into
full possession of their own,
hurting into the dust of oblivion
false and unjust religions, state
crafts, and political economies"
What is Happening in Russia
Pages of like quotations could be
quoted from the socialist leaders of
every nation.
Proudhon had no delusion as to
what this meant when he said:
"The social revolution could
only end in an immense cata-
clysm, of which the immediate
effect would be to lay waste the
earth, and to confne society in a
straight-waistcoat; and if it were
possible that such a state of
things should continue only a
few weeks, to kill three or four
millions of men by an unforeseen
famine"
This is exactly what is happening
in Russia under the rule of the bolshe-
vik.
The bolshevism of the early days
Of Marx was called communism, later
it was named socialism and in Ger
many, social democracy; but it al
means the very same thing.
Socialism has always been a phil
osophy of destruction. From the day
when it began to develop in the brain
of Karl Marx, as in all the stage:
through which it passed toward the
finished product, bolshevism it has al
ways been a revolutionary party OF
physical force.
It was founded upo,. class hatred
which had little O. no existence out
side it's fov~de1s. 1t has persisted
through all the years since 1847 t.
pit class against class and maj
! against man, on the theory that b!
such a propaganda it will be possible
to create a reign of terror and the de
struction of our present day civiliza
ton.
