Building Chicago Little Building Boston 1311 Kresge Building Detroit Sunday January 4 1020 VI it The Red Assassins PHE rojind up of public enemies is admirable work always and it was never more timely than at present The Department of Justice is entitled to the earnest and vigilant assistance of every patniotic citizen in the United States in the task of apprehending tne reds Indeed without the assistance of patriotic citizens the work of the Department will be incomplete and disappointing With the apprehension of the reds and the capture of printed matter and documents will come a violent protest from domestic and foreign bolsheviki against alleged violation of freedom of speech of the press and of peaceable assembly The need of more adequate laws for dealing with these cases will then become apparent It is quite evident that Congress has not yet enacted satisfactory laws preventing abuse of the freedom of speech of the press and of public assembly So fearful have been the legislators of making a mistake by abridging these rights that they have leaned the other way thus permitting criminals to profit by the outrage of those liberties which Americans enjoy and share with all incomers The time has come when foreign enemy propaganda must be prevented from utilizing freedom of speaking and printing in America for the purpose of destroying America itself The abuse of free speaking and printing must be defined and punishments provided Up to this time it has been deemed practicable to establish the dividing line between lawful and unlawful speech on the question of advocacy of violence to destroy the government Were the words employed for the purpose of inciting to violence against the government Then it was an abuse and not a permissible exercise of the right of free speech But this dividing line is not accurate for it now develops that dangerous enemies of the United States have kept on the safe side of speech as thus defined and yet have committed heinous crimes against the government and against the system of society which created the government for self protection Back of the government is the system of human intercourse which the government protects This system is now attacked byf desperate crimiiials who have discovered that a conspiracy of terrorism and close combination among a few skillful and daring men may go far toward inthnidating entire peoples and thus wrest from them their government and destroy their system of society vastly to the profit the conspirators The astounding and unbelievable plan has actually worked successfully in Russia and from that vantage ground is now being applied to other countries The conspirators who gathered in the riches of Russia are applying a great part of this wealth to the disintegration of other nations It is a speculation presenting to them the most dazzling prospects of profit and power Unless the nations speedily study and apply defensive measures to this bolshevist plan the extension of bolshevism will be a certain investment with large dividends and not a mere speculation Who would imagine that the most populous white nation in the world could be overcome by a few conspirators to the extent that every individual in the country is subject to their will The audacity and success of the attempt are equally stupefying But now that bolshevism has proved itself to be a dangerously going concern and not a mere brainstorm of Russian moujiks it behooves the civilized world to recover from its stupefaction without delay in order that it may beat off the attempts to bolshevize it The right of free speech printing and assembly in the United States should not include the right to preach bolshevism directly or indirectly Bolshevism is a declared enemy of the United States and seeks its death The United States must kill bolshevism or be killed by it The reds whether native or alien who advocate bolshevism should come within the rigor of the law There is no time to waste on hairsplitting over infringement of liberty when the enemy is using libertys weapons for the assassination of liberty Novembers Bad Record The coal strike put a decided crimp in railroad earnings for November and as a result the government will lose about 645dO0OO on the operation of the transportation lines for that month The operating revenues for the month aggregated About 436000000 which is almost as great as the tremendous record of November 1S0J8 bat the operating expenses were so high as to cut the net operating revenues down to 1900000 for the month As the governments rental guarantee amounted to 83500000 a losa of more than 2000000 a day Is recorded When the December returns are In It Is predicted that the figures will show that government operation of the railroads for two years will have cost the people about 700000000 The big loss sustained in November is directly traceable to the coal strike which serves to emphasize the fact that the public has a vital Interest in industrial disputes This loss must come out of the public treasury which means that it win ome from tha pockets of the people in the form of taxes and increased charges When this sum is added to the loss sustained by industry by reason ot the coal shortage during tljo period of the strike and to that is added Jthe loss or wages to the miners and th loss profits to the

faet it wonld be an Impressive testimonial to the unity of purpose and the patriotic impulses of the American people if the two great opposing political orgahIatlQns should build their declarations of principles upon an Identic cornerstone of loyalty to their country To this end the executive heads of the Republican and Democratic organizations could act jointly in the selection of a committee to draft the resolution in readiness for action by the resolutions committees of their respective conventions It should be a Confession of Faith simple in phraseology easily understood and vitally strong in Its meaning It should pledge all who accept It to unwavering loyalty to tho American government a willingness and purpose to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and to faithfully observe its laws and relentless warfare upon bolshevism ananchlsm socialism communism and all other forms of radicalism which aim at the overthrow by force of the American government Such a declaration could be made to seifye a much wider and greater purpose than a mere plank in political platforms It should be taught in the public schools printed in the copy books of the rising generation and inscribed upon the walls of every place of assemblage throughout the country until every citizen has been brought to a realization that here is the acid test of his worthiness to enjoy the privileges of citizenship Political managers need have no hesi tation in adopting the same plank on Americanism as their opponents Patriotism recognizes no partisanship nor does any party hold a monopoly upon loyalty There are many lines of cleavage to divide the Republicans and Democrats plenty of issues to separate the various schools of political thought But there can be no difference between American patriots as to the purpose of fighting the red menace to our government and institutions On that issue there is entire unanimity In the latest raid upon the radicals by agents of the Department of Justice several thousand arrests were made of persons suspected of unlawful designs upon the government of the United States It is asserted that the department has a list of more than 60000 known reds throughout the country who are under surveillance How fast these may multiply and how generally the taint may spread if the danger is not promptly eliminated no one can tell Clearly it is the duty of all patriots to rally to the support of the flag Why not begin now with the approach of a presidential campaign by testing every candidate for office great and small and by injecting into the youth of the Iand that antitoxin which will render them Immune from the sinister virus of radicalism A timely prophylactic is much more desirable than an eventual surgical operation Xiord

Blundered The President signed the McNary bill on December 31 thereby making it law and continuing the existence of the sugar equalization board through 1920 A statement given out from the White House announced the fact and predicted a speedy drop in prices but in face of the Presidents action and the White House statement sugar sold at from 20 to 25 cents a pound retail Washington yesterday In one well known series of chain stores which were closed on Thursday it suddenly rose from 13 cents on Wednesday to 21 centff on Friday The estimate of officials of the board itself is that during the present year the average price throughout the country will be 20 cents a pound This is a tremendous jump from the famine price of 11 cents fixed by the board and the food administration in 1917 and operative during 1918 and 1919 The annual per capita consumption for the last five years has beenx nearly 90 pounds and with a popula tion of 110000000 theincreas of 9 cents per pound in price means that the sugar bill of the people of the United States for 1920 will reach the tremendous total of 1980000000 as against 1089000000 for 1919 or an Increase in this one article alone for one year alone of 891000000 The people certainly have need of patience This calamitouslr higher cost of what has come to be almost a necessity of life was a wholly avoidable one and but for gross blundering could

an article appeared In one of the London papers to the effect that Prince Kinsky on leaving England had instructed his Etud groom to poison his hunters In order to prevent them from being commandeered by the government George Lambton wrote a letter Indignantly denying the charge as a wicked and baseless slander and declared that Kinsky had asked him to get his hunters allotted to personal friends in the army in the event of their being commandeered Prince Charles who was a widower is succeeded in the family honors by his brother Count Rudolf Kinsky who has six children all of them girls Next in the line of succession comes his nephew young Count Ulrich Kinsky who served in the war as lieutenant of a lancer regiment and whose father the late Count Ferdinand Kinsky was grand master of the

Eugene Kinsky in 1891 at Vienna at a time when she was one of the queens of the comic opera In London she was quite as much of a social as an operatic success and was frequently present at the late

preservation of peace and order throughout China in view of avoiding a recurrence of such unpleasant circumstances As the Chinese considered the Japanese aggressors at Fuchow the dispatch of a Japanese warship to that port aroused Chinese public opinion and led to an intensification of the anti Japanese boycott Belief is expressed here that Japans withdrawal of the warship proves the

sufficed to make him willing to accept the offer of his government to attend the peace conference in Paris as one of the Chinese commissioners in the fall of 1918 Dr Koo took an active part in framing the bold move by which the Chinese delegation made the Shantung affair one of the principal incidents of the conference and has remained in France ever since The Chinese commissioners were to have
