ready, with the aid of foreign power
to destroy the independence of our
country" That is the main charge
against us. And the social-demo-
cratic leaders are testifying it. But
how could they do otherwise without
severing their friendly relations with
the government, which pays high
salaries to many of them. In the
Sosialidemokraati of August 18th,
appears an appeal to the workers of
this country. It bears as a heading
Leave the Communist Party" The
appeal declares: eff you don't want
to yield up the independence of Fin
land, if you don't want to be defeated
in the struggle against the bour-
geoisie of this country, there is at
least time to denounce communist
principles, to leave that (communist)
party, and to return to the old Social
Democratic Party :" These few
quotations shows the game being
played by the social democratic lead
ers in the suppression of our party.
We felt somewhat encouraged
when reading in the papers that com
rades in Norway have boycotted a
Finnish bourgeois choir on its visit
to Christiania and that the Com.
munist youth of Norway are heading
the boycott-campaign against the
bourgeoisie of Finland. 1t is fine
example of international class soil
darity.
We in the prisons of barbaric Fin
land want to proclaim to the workers
of the world, that altho we are in
chains behind iron bars, we are not
defeated. The struggle will be car
ried on by those outside, whatever
form it will take. In Comrade Ralph
Chaplin's words: 'We make vow no
tryant might shall make US bend
knee" jailed or free we will fight
for the common cause of the prole-
tariat..

What business have you dining and
winning Senator Oddie who boasts of
being one of the most powerful cat
tie kings in the land while we are
paying millions in ransom to the
Beef interests?
Do you call these cruises down the
Potomac with Coolidge and his boss
Frank w. Stearns, the millionaire
textile operator and Boston banker,
service to us who are in desperate
want here in North Dakota?
Is that what we sent you to Wash

No, Senator Ladd. Perhaps you

benign influence of the Reverend
Jason Noble Pierce aboard the May

We who are facing disaster and ruin

We will never send you again

When Glory Comes
By ]. o. BENTALL

New York and the rest Of the
world has been aroused by a piece
of startling news such as comes only
after the death of some neglected
genius.
The news, however. is not of the
genius and his work, but of the ex-
citing fact that a rich woman res
cued his dead body from the potters'
field.
Johannes Sophus lielert had la
bored in obscurity till lie was tired
of life. He had produced master
pieces of art that had made him
famous as a sculptor on two CONT
nents, but his fame had brought him
no reward that could be translated
into bread, so that between hunger
and cold he had sought death, un-
successfully. The next worse fate
that he hankered after was the poor
house which he entered, successfully.
Also he died there, successfully, and
was buried in the potters' field, sue
cessfully.
1t was when the ricn lady found
this out that she opened her heart
and the sculptor's grave and had his
body removed to a respectable grave
where services were held and flowers
left by the art women who needed
a thrill and a headline in the met
ropolitan newspapers.
Sculptors are very useful mem
bers of society. The Communists
Of Russia give them q free hand to
work out the best that is in them.
Feed the children and the artists
first, is the slogan of the Bolsheviks.
Feed the fat capitalists first, is the
slogan Of free America, and let the
children die and the artists be routed
out Of their graves after they are
dead.

are to be charged with 'high-trea-
son." And the sentences will be as
heavy as the law allows. Newspa-
pers are agitating for that end al
ready. A paper published in the
Swedish language, entitled "Nyland"
writing Of the arrested communists
demanded: "-Amost Of them must
be hanged as punishment for their
crimes and as a warning to others.
There are enough telephone-posts
along the highways" Fine proof of
the barbaric instincts Of our bour-
geoisiel They are out to uproot
communism. But they will see that
the day Of the triumph of commun-
ism shall come. After rain comes
sunshine.
One will ask, what are the social
democrats doing now the field is
cleared for them? They, Of course,
had to change their tactics in order
to retain the support Of the workers.
On one hand they condemn the gov
eminent by bringing evidence against
us, tho it is false. On the 4th Of
August, some social-democrati lead
ers visited the Minister Of the In
terror hypocritically asking why such
harsh action had been taken against
the communists and on what ground.
The minister replied that such action
was taken because the communists
are attempting to overthrow the gov
eminent by force and with the aid
Of foreign state. The chairman Of
the Social-Democratic Party, Vaino
Tanner answered, according to the
official organ Of the party: Sosialide-
moIsraati Of August 9Th: "In Sweden
and England the Communists are al
lowed to talk freely as much they
please. Our communists, Of eourse,
are different for some Of them are

The Social-Democratic members of
the Finnish Riksdag have threatened
a parliament strike if the Finnish
government does not call the new
elections. The new elections are
necessary because all 27 Communist
deputies and hundreds of leading
Communists are in prison.
But the Social-Democracy is not
the defender of the imprisoned Com
munists. 1t wishes the new elections
only because it thinks it can capture
the Communist seats. The Finnish
'Social-Democrats are just as respon-
sible for the persecution Of the Com
.munists. AS a proof we print let
ter by Finnish comrade who writes
from prison:
The heroic revolutionary rising Of
the working class Of Finland in 1918,
is we'll known TO all class-conscious
workers in every land. 1t is equally
we'll known how the bourgeoisie
came out Of it victorious, establish
ing most savage white terror, dur
ing the period of which, 10000
workers Of both sexes were driven to
concentration camps, where about
$4,000 were starved to death, and
some 10000 executed. All the labor
organizations were suppressed, Of
course. And in this manner the de-
mands Of civilization" were salts
fed.
But the defeated working class
rallied again. And in May, 1920, the
Representatives Of the revolutionary
workers gathered together to estab-
fish the Socialist Party Of Finland"
By breaking up that congress the
bourgeoisie demonstrated that the
white terror" still reigned. (The

lowed to organize their party as
early as in 1879 The workers re-
piled to the action of the chief of
police of Helsingfors (the instrument
of reaction) by establishing the $50
cialist Labor Party Of Finland" in
June, 1920. From that date our
party has been continually under
fire. The bourgeois have charged US
with receiving gold from the Russian
Their newspapers tell
hair-raising stories of our alleged I'M
foreground work. From the very
birth Of our party they have warned
the ruling class of our reasonable ac-
tivities. These knights of the de-
fense-guard of bourgeois law and or
der have pointed US out to the state
police (okhrana) as being plotters,
who, with the help Of the Red Army
Of Russia, are trying to convert Fin
land into Russian colony. And their
efforts have not been in vain. Their
labors have born fruit.
Hundreds Of the active members
Of our party are languishing in pris-
ons and penitentiaries for being true
to the cause of socialism. But the
fury Of the bourgeoisie reached its
climax on the 3rd Of August, when
the mass arrests Of the alleged COM
munists were carried thru. On that
day all the members of the party
executive, and Of our parliamentary
group (27), besides innumerable or.
binary party members were dragged
behind prison bars. All the party
organs were suppressed and the
printing establishments and all other
property Of the party confiscated
The number Of arrested amounts to
about 800.

LnperiaLisn's Opportunity

Are the Mexican workers and peasants,
after years of struggle oftentimes bloody, TO
surrender their hard-won liberties to an out
right dictatorship of American capital en-
forced by Mexican mercenaries commended by
Yankee officers?
There can be little doubt that American
capital, altho its government tentatively sup
ports the Obregon regime, welcomes the pres
ent revolt of a faction more to the right than
Obregon.
American and naval forces, once anchored
in the ports or encamped on the soil of back
ward" nations possessing rich natural re-
sources, have habit of remaining for an in
definite period as witness Haiti, Santo Do
mingo and the PHILIPPINES, to say nothing of
Cuba, which without an army of occupation
in recent years, has become merely the pri-
vate property of the sugar trust and the Ma
tional City Bank.
Today fleet of cruisers and destroyers hes
off Tampico, the port of the richest oil region
in Mexico and one of the richest in the world.
De la Huerta, the chosen leader of the Mex
lean capitalists and landlords, controls this
section with his counter-revolutionar forces
What will the government of Wall Street in
the White House do? Will it work to increase
he dissension in Mexico? A two year old child
can answer the question.
was a bitter pill for Wall Street to swallow and
the counter-revolution was as welcome as
heavy rain to Kansas farmer. 1t will not be
allowed to die as long as one chance remains
of its being a good excuse for pushing our
southern boundary southwark. to use the
happy phraseology of "Black jack Pershing.
Great Britain is too busy at home right now
to make an effective protest in case our ma
rines should protect her oil interests in the
Tampico sector so efficiently that we might
forget who owned them, but international COM
plications spring up rather easily when any
great power embarks on one of these grab
bing expeditions.
The American workers, if they want peace
for themselves and an opportunity for the
Mexican workers and peasants to work out
their own salvation, must demand the with
drawal of the fleet and renewal of the hands
off policy in Mexico that the state department
has abandoned at the request of powerful oil
interests.

Finally Hits Home

While the Reverend William Sunday did
battle with the devil and travelled far and wide
in quest of grace and dollars Satan was raising
hell with "Billy's" home There he reigned
supreme. Sunday knocked the devil around
numerous tabernacles in every part of the
United States and when he thought he chad
i'm goin' there was the evil one holding
hands with Billys two sons in Los Angeles.
One of them patronized booteggers of
course under old Nick's influence, until finally
in an effort to put the Reverend William Sun
day out of business with broken heart, the
devil induced the youngest of Billys brood to
attempt suicide
George, another scion of the Sunday family,
is a real estate agent. Now, if there is any
profession in which diabolical ingenuity is
used to greater degree than in the business
of fastening land plots on unsuspecting citi-
zens, the writer of this articlehas to be shown.
The devil had it all his own way for a long
time but perseverance can even move noun
tains and Billy persevered.
The result is that George Sunday real estate
shark, has decided to drop some Of his vices
and throw little sawdust in his path Ac-
customed to selling lots on Sunday he has
changed his schedule and from now on will
allow his employees to spend their Sundays as
they please.
The devil is reported to be as detected as a
politician defeated for office.

The cautious manner in which, in today's
Washington dispatches, President Coolidge
expresses the opinion that everything may not
be quite honest and above-board in the Teapot
Dome affair, shows that he is not the cold and
calculating creature his enemies have pictured
him. It is the tender care for the feelings of
men after his own heart, such as Senator Fall,
that shows the real man.
