SUPPORT Those Supporting the Gov
eminent

We have been told repeatedly
of an organized conspiracy to over
throw this government. conspiracy
Matched abroad and largely financed
from that source. Day by day re-
ports have related what appeared to
he additional evidence Of this I'M
pending revolution. The radicals
from Berger down, have uttered de-
rance on every occasion, apparently
assuming that either this country
would not dare to put 4 stop to their
iriouities or would be unable to do
so if it tried.
Suddenly there comes a change and
the reds" are being gathered in all
over the land, on what is said to De
indisputable evidence that they have
been engaged in conspiracy. Now,
while many of them may escape con-
viction or deportation, while in some
instances injustices may be done and
in some other cases the agitators may
profit from martyrdom. there is at
this writing reason to suppose that
Attorney General Palmer is doing
needed work courageously and should
receive the support of the public. in
so doing.
While supporting him in this effort
to make law and order necessary
feature of life in this country it will
he we'll to avoid hysteria or spirit
of revenge for the insults suffered at
the hands of these decadent children
Of a foreign misgovernment. Inc!
have come to us with minds ana
morals warped by the bitterness OF
class tyranny and the inheritances OF
down-trodden and undernourished
forbears, that is, some Of them have
done 50. Included in their number
are those who are found in every
people, in every cline and under ev-
cry form of government, men and
women ready to sell their immortal
souls or other peoples for what they
may be able to get.
While we may not measure the
fruit of the attempt now being made
to curb the red menace in this coun-
try we would have criticism withheld
until exact conditions may be made
clear. \ professor of Boston Univer-
sity in a speech Sunday evening de-
clared, it is said, 1.-The breaking up Of
peaceful meetings in the name OF pa
triotism or Americanism, as has been
done all over the country and is still
being done, only adds to the cause OF
anarchy and revolution" If his pre-
mise be correct so is his conclusion.
we are not prepared yet to believe
that peaceful meetings are being
broken up with such frequency as he
says 4 meeting at which the over
throw OF a government is under con-
sideration is not a peaceful meeting
either in the meaning Of the law or
of common sense.
