Our Revolution

Our great minds or our great mouths as YOU prefer
Just toying with the idea of revolution in this
country Wilson energies from his sick secuson and
warns us Magnus Johnson leaves his bayfield, and warns
us: Hi Johnson back from sick Europe and warns
us and the editorial chorus takes up the chant and sings
Were goin' TO get revoluted soon.
In a way these gentlemen right; in the way they
mean we to acquire revolution they wrong This
nation is going to have revolution, It is already having
one and greater changes have been wrought upon the
warp and of national pattern these last five
years than the preceding go and greater changes still
are TO be wrought,
But revolution of Iowa farmers and Illinois clerks,
Washington wheat and Maine sugar tree sapsteS
is different thing from revolution OF Russian serts
AZ revolution of French zealos of hundred years ago
The Anglo Saxon mind refuses 10 get overly excited no
matter how mad it gets and the Anglo Saxon empera
ment counts the cost and it seldom burns down the house
to roast pig.
All nations have revolutions if they continue to be
healthy: that's merely another for evolution But
revolution in absolute monarchy, led by beastminded
slaves and revolution IN nominal republic, managed
by home owners $40 day mechanics and prohibitonists
is something quite different Our minds track so abso-
lutey along the routine ruts that cannot vision
revolution without booded knives reekng scaffods and
of rank and wealth being laid out in headess
for the dead wagon But you don't need to decaptate
millionaire TO have revolution; all you need do is to
take his money away from him. take his opportunity to
hog natural resources away from him. take his right to
heap up wealth beyond his honest need away from him.
having done these things you have extnguished him
surely tho you bheaded his body instead of his money
bags.
Considering everything the election of Magnus John
son; the entry of the railroad broherhoods into the
national banking game; the confscation of
wealth thru inheritance and income taxes and the pac
ing of La Toilette power next to that of the president
Washington saying nothing of the Ford candidacy and
its overturn of all party programs these all revou
tonary just the average federal and state supreme
court decision is reactonary.
Revolution thru election of radicals thru radical legs
laation, thru third parties and thru capture of old
parties? Yes. Revolution thru bullets and barri
cades? No. We don't have the temperament we
hate to break up furniture desire things TO run
along without too much noise and confusion and gen
orally have much individually at stake in this country
to call for entirely deal But far as revou-
tonary and wealth confiscatng party destroying and

Gov. Walton's action in sending troops to Tulsa fol-

TO the nearby towns Of Broken Arrow and Red Fork
