TAKES SIDE OF LABOR.

The National Catholic Welfare
Council is clearly on the side of
the laboring man and the middle
classes: 1t exOnerates the Non
Partisan League, the Farmer
and Labor party and the CON-
mittee of Forty-Eight from the
charge of BOlshevism and of So
cialism and says, they come
much closer to an adequate
statement of desirable principles
and measures than the platforms
of either of the old parties.
The Catholic National Welfare
Council, which represents the
Catholic Hierarchy in the United
States, has recently issued a
very important pamphlet, Dol
shevism in Russia and America"
which can be ordered for 5 cents
from the Paulist Press, 120-122
West Goth street New York City.
or also a limited number be had
gratis at the Catholic Rectory in
Nezperce, Idaho. This pamphlet
clearly exposes Bolshevism what
it is and what it is not. 1t shows,
that "Bolshevik Russia appears
to have far less industrial de-
mocracy than even political de-
mocracy; that by its disregard
of property rights, its subsection
of religion and the profligacy of
its marriage-laws, it has offend
ed previously against the moral
law. Bolshevism has confiscat-
ed property at it's convenience.
1t has placed the practice of re-
ligion at the discretion of men,
who hate religion, fear it and de.
spise it as superstition. And
finally Bolshevik Russia has
blested away the foundations OF
marriage, family and the home
it has dealt a death blow at soci.
al and individual welfare"
But in the second part, the
pamphlet shows, that here il
the United States organized Boil
shevism is of insignificant pro
portions, that the united labor
movement here in this country
is free of Bolshevism. Thu
Plumb plan for the railroads anc
Cottonwood chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1917-current, 1920-10-29

Mr.. Plumb's later suggestions
for all industry are examined,
and they are found to be free
from the faint of Bolshevism,
the Soviet idea, and even of
Socialism.
Government ownership of a
few industries is also declared
not to be socialism. In connec-
ton with this an outline is given
of the programs of the Labor
party, the Non-Pastisan League
and the Committee of Forty
Eight, and the conclusion is
reached, that they are neither
Bolshevik nor Socialist.
Capitalism is explained, and to
oppose this system, is not to OPP
pose private ownership. For
capitalism is only one very mod
ern kind of private ownership.
'In the United States" the
pamphlet says, social unrest is
wide and deep, but people have
not turned either to socialism or
to communism. But if threat
now of a revolution cannot be
taken seriously, no one can be
certain of the future. For our
social unrest can easily grow to
revolutionary proportions, un-
less concerted and far-reaching
action is taken to right the econ
omic wrongs, which are the soil
from which revolutions spring"
Last week, the writer of this
article addressed a letter to the
editor of a paper in Oregon, that
has a very large circulation.
informed him about this pamph-
let, and expressed my hope that
in the future he would carefully
avoid to cast any suspicion or
the Non Partisan League and on
the Farmer and Labor party, etc
In his very friendly reply, the
editor thanked me for drawing
his attention to that important
pamphlet. Beyond all doubt,
he said 1.-THE two old parties

what person of sound intelli-
gence can in the coming cleo
lions vote with a good conscience
for one of the old parties? Both
the old parties, Republicans as
well as Democrats, had for the
last thirty years their chance to
show what they are. We al!
know that they are nothing but
screens for the invisible govern
ment of Wall Street, and that
Wall Street governs through
them And therefore he must be
fool that expects any better
ment of conditions from them.
He that votes for any of the old
two parties, votes for capitalism.
And we don't want that country
ruled by capitalism any more
than by socialism. For none of
those two can make our country
prosperous and happy, but will
lead to slavery, ruin and chaos.
Capitalism is built and is thriv-
ing on usuary, practiced in such
a systematic and heartless way
and to such an extent that it I'M
deniably belongs to that class of
crimes which are crying to Heav
en- for vengeance.
Some say the Non-Partisan
League and the Farmer and Lab
or Party cannot come out victor
ious at the next election, and ]
do not want to throw my vote
away. My dear friend, do not
throw your vote away if you use
it to make the protest against
the mismanagements of the last
six years and of former times as
strong as possible? Do you
throw away your vote if by il
you encourage and uphold those
well meaning people, who with
out the support of the money
power are unselfishly struggling
to right the economic wrongs, te
prevent the extinction of the
middle-class, and to save oul
country from the dangers anC
horrors of revolution and chaos
Indeed, any ALDERMAN, any farm
er, any small business man, oil

ditions votes in the next election
