PARLOR BOLSHEVIKS

We are perfectly willing to de-
nounce in unmeasured terms the
man who manufactures the bomb,
who occupies the soap box, and who
breathes out his anathemas against
the government. We don't seem to
understand that those characters are
the effects Of a cause and of a con-
'dition.
The colleges that teach COLLECTIVE
ism, socialism, ~syndicalism, which
are all synonymous terms, are the
producers Of the bomb maker and
the red mouth, soap box agitator.
Respectable people who open their
parlOrS to the agents of Russia are
the creators of the bolShevism that
is moving in the highest circles.
There are many rich, fashionable
women in the different cities of the
country who throw open the doors
of their palatial homes for drawing
room meetings at which there are
addresses given by designing
agents. Such women encourage law
lessness. They are laying the foun-
dationS for attacks on this govern
ment. They are enemies of the gov
eminent, and their parlors are the
halls Of conspiracy against right
eousness and representative govern
ment. The parlor bolshevik is an
other name for Satan.
Some Of the rich who have come
into their possessions and whose in
~tellectual ability and moral stamina
and constitutional morality have not
advanced with the same degree with
which their riches have increased
are the easy prey OF the enemies of
the government who enter their par
Tors to teach the infamous doctrines
that are today menacing the whole
of our land.
Awake, awake, idle rich who en-.
courage the parlor bolshevik in his
attack on Our government! No man
no woman has a constitutional right
to open his or her home to one who
speaks against the principles of oul
great representative republican form
of government.
Such men and women are traitor,
to our system Of government.

PANCHO VILLA
IS REVEALED
AS JEW !.
Real Name Suppressed at
Mothers Wish-He Never
Knew Father.

MEXICO CITY, July 23.-Pancho
Villas real name was German.
His father was of Spanish-Jewish
descent.
This fact, kept secret by the IA
nous outlaw during his lifetime,
was revealed two days after his
death, by Miss Esperanza Valazquez
Bringas, a young Mexican writer
who interviewed him at his ranch,
Canutfllo, several months ago.
At the time Villa told Miss Brin-
gas his secret, asking that it not be
mentioned during his lifetime.
Villas story, told in his own
words to Miss Bringas, follows:
"A few years ago, when I was
still a revolutionary, met on one
of my trips to Parral, an old man,
an owner of q shop, who knew my
father and my mothers father, Ar
