A British Meeting

There is a good deal Of Bolshevisrn yet in the world though hear little of it in America that we suppose entirely subsided outside of Rus sia The the Lord has been thrown into the I. W. ". in this country, that long haired brethren and our bobbed-hair sisters. paror calists themselves with foolish fulminations through few advanced thought" periodicals. They are careful run against the in a large and imposing way.
 For months after the there Bol- shevist manifestations in England, and it under stood that they had bearing upon the governments attitude toward the soviet government. Since then the cables have carried little nothing of Boshe- vst activities in Great Britain but that the com- muniss have not been suppressed there learn from ar account by the London Times of meeting organ ized by the British Empire Union at Central Hall Westminster ago. Lord Derby. the prin- cipal speaker howled down by the mob and the meeting broken up amid scenes of the widest disorder.
 The Times account of it in part. follows:
 The gathering was to confined to ticketholders, but somehow considerable body of men and women, among whom there appeared to be good many of alien nationality had obtained tickets of admission to the side and back galleries The disturbance be- gan when the chairman, Sir Ernest Wild, K. C., NJ. P With considerable difficulty he persisted in his determination finish his speech, but Lord Derby rising the uproar became indescribable. His voice rendered quite inaudible except to those sitting close beside him. There shouting from the galleries accompanied by cat-cals police whis- ties, rattles and squeakers.
 The organist played the national anthem signal that the meeting was over. The audience in the body the hall stood up, but the interrupters remained seated and continued to create disorder, "stink bombs" being freely thrown After the plat form party left the disordery rushed to the platform, tore down the Union Jack from its place below the organ stamped upon and tore 1t. Event uay the police entered and elected the rowdy ele- ment.
 After the meeting had been broken up, large number of small wooden boxes were picked up Each box contained three stink bombs." Some bore the label "Stinkbomben." Others labelled "Anar- chist bombs" In every the label stated Made in Germany
 The chairman of the meeting afterward said that among the men and women in the hall many well known communists were recognized, though every precaution had been taken to exelu le them The meeting was to be by invitation only those in- vited were provided with tickets. Every ticket But it turned out that the communists had forged will perhaps help to drive home the British public how necessary 1t is for them to organize and fight Bolshevism The forces of disorder only too well organized"
 We fancy such demonstration this in any large city in America. It would be put down by po- lice clubs it could well under way that would be but beginning. would only be done by the people themselves through the government which is the peope-that the orderly, law abiding people and not by some detached and hated ruling power.
 We sometimes make the mistake leniency in dealing with disorder. when and sometimes long after leniency longer virtue. suppress dis order with a hard hand.
