"oyER THERE" AND OVER HERE

The governments of Europe are facing troublous times again. Each IS nursing grievances against the others. and those grievances are rapidly ap- preaching the point of eruption. Al the same time they are harried to the point of desperation by troubles at home.
 Bolshevism is the great European spectre, and it is not at all impossible that the next few years will see the red banner waving in practically every country lover there.''
 That is the opinion of many wise students of international affairs, who are seldom wrong in their deductions.
 lover here" it is somewhat better, considerably different, yet with a de gree of similarity that is distressing 10 contemplate We have a large class of people who are honorable, thrifty, and have an abiding faith in the fu- ture stability of our government. But that faith is sublime, and is prone to overlook or ignore the danger signals that are springing up from day to day.
 Stealing from the people in the form of profteering. graftin public office. shrking of just taxation hY the rich. indifference to the manner in which state and national affhirS are con ducted these are some of the danger signals to which loo little heed is given. vet they constitute condition that k producing q dangerous spirit of unrest and hatred and class animosity.
 Over here red agents do net attempt to secure converts from among these who are prosperous and contented, and seldom among those in the middle walks of life Their proselytjng is done among those who have read CT fancied grievance-among those who are not so well favored with the goods of this world
 Europe made the mistake of tempor- izine the red snake and of doing noth- ing to remove the cause of his crea- ton That snake k now a full grown serpent and is menaeing the security of the governments of the old world
 over here we are treadms the same path drifting into the same fatal error We are doing little or nothing to eliminate prohteeriHs. to abolish graft. or to require rich corporations and individuals to bear their just pro portion of the burdens of taxation.
