\ GRAVE QUEST7' X
M. Nonlens, French a etn
goes only part of the wa v.Tu. he rtes that
the Bolshevist regime is the ernnj of the en
tente. It is that and more, it is the enemy of
the whole civilized world, inciudiny, Seattle; i;
we may so express it. O.Qn.a' * lands for
order; Bolshevism for disorder. Civilization -la
nds for progress: Bolshevism Gw ; v-a sre sicn
to a condition of worse than primeval savagery
Civilization stand; for ci "ucti
vism for destruction.
Bolshevism tears down. That i ti;-. d Ferenc?
But whether to stamp
gument. is a h trd ■:
All that a distant obser ;r kn i Bol
shevism is a menace to civilisation
i m' - expedh nt to try and b
let it burn itself out; a :
will, remains to be seen, rhe
i~ that if it is left to c n u ■- itsel if vs ill
sume better things with itself. That it must be
1'ui out, cannot be denied. To that end, every
community should organize its forces and the
moment its snaky head appears on the surface,
crush it. Had Seattle checked herself in her mad
rush for money and watched her sieps, schools
of the Bolshevsm doctrine would not have flour
She,! and the people would be enjoying peace.
STICK TO YOUR JOB
One of the good rules to follow, is to stick to j
cue’s job, especially at this time. Our advice is: j
ion t let up. Don’t give up. Stick to your job.
Don’t get the idea that now the war is over,
your job is about to end. It will take ten years
f continuous unrelenting industry of every a
•ailable man to reconstruct the devastated per
il n of the world so that it will be able to supply
i elfwilh its needs. It will take two full genera j
h ns to bring the civilized world to that stage
efficiency which progressive thought will find
■ cce sary to the peace and welfare of the human
ace.
Thi old world will never be the -ame again.
’ !v cb root racy of progress has seized the helm
e. again to permit the ship to fali into plu
tocratic hands. Be calm; the sun shines,even j
in the “Banana Belt”—sometimes. t
ft roust be kept in mind that restrictions still
remain on the use of foodstuffs. Because sugar
is no longer a restricted commodity, a good many
people have jumped to the conclusion that all
restrictions having been removed, there is no
further need for economy. This is a great mis- j
take. Conditions in some European countries I
are said to be desperate. The allied ministers
have reported from Rumania that they are con
vinced that the food supply there cannot last for
more than thirty days and “the immediate step- ]
for relief must be taken if the country is not to j
be submerged into Bolshevism. Come to think >
about it. we are told that Bolshevism is even
found in the “Land of Plenty.” However, when
the Red Cress organization calls for help; we can !
rest assured that the necessity is there. So let
us rot let up cn conservation of food.
>* is said that Ellis O. Jones, who signed the j
-proclamation” stating that the “Bolshevik Hel
en” was to commence on Friday in the I nitede
Slates was highly incensed when it was sug
gested that he was playing a practical joke. It
}o {h.o same lack of a sense of humor in the Ger
man people that made the war possible. No
c^ber nation than the Germans could have taken
a mad actor like William Hohenzollern and his
.-lr.wnish son seriously, and had they not done
so there would have been no war.—Commerce.
