THE MENACE OF 1900.


A message from Russia, which re-
Gently went the rounds OF the Ameri-
can press, stated that there are only
1900 avowed "reds" in America, SO
far as the Soviet government knows.
Newspapers, commenting on this,
state that so small a number do not
constitute any cause for alarm. The
figures may or may not be correct
But even II there are but 1900 reds
In this country, they are sufficient in
number to SOW seed among Americas
foreign population that will bring
bitter harvest.
America has a foreign born popu-
of recent foreign extraction of many
more millions. Much of the popula-
ton has not been assimilated, or fully
Amerfcanized. That is just where the
menace of the 1900 comes in. That
many apostles of bolshevism, and
there are probably many more if the
truth were known, can counterfeit
materially the process of American
ization. The foreign language news
papers of the country, which cOnsti-
tute the principal reading Of many
foreigners, are used in spreading the
propaganda which is written by some |
of these 1900. The foreigner under |
stands but little of the principles of |
our government and, unfortunately, |
there are many American born who
do not know a great deal about the
principles upon which the American
government is founded, and therefore
fall an easy prey to mouthings and
of the shrewd red propagan-
list and are perveted by false political
theories.
If the estimate of the Soviet gov
is correct, there are just 1900
more active disciples of bolshevism
in America than there should be, and
It is we'll that true Americans should
be on the alert and that there should
De systematic effort made to Ameri-
canize all foreigners, for their good
and for the good of the America to

TOO MUCH TALK
The congressional halls for Wash
ngton reverberate with too much
ak. This was especially true in the 9
losing days of February when three y
r four senators talked to death an h
measure, preventing d
, from coming to a vote.
This rule of the national senate e
hat permits such action, is repre- =
ensible Majority rule is the prin .
iple upon which our government is s
ased. When the senate allows some n
ling else, it is violating the funda-
entaI principles of the government.
The administration is responsible a
II the way in which our national n
fairs are conducted. Yet it is pat -
i've it's way always. ~
We must face the fact that the rs
ethods of government of the French h,
public or even monarchial England b.
me nearer being the rule of the peo- m
e than do our methods.-GarfieId IN

More and more thinking people are CO
