THE HI N STILL BUSY
There is no lack of evidence that Germany
is still keeping up its perfidious propaganda.
A certain Professor Brinckman is operating
overseas which aims to stir up anti-American
feeiing. not only in Europe but in tir own coun
try; cur own town where a ce tain element is
busy trying to create factions; the leader of
which made the remark the other clay that he
could talk "now. he was a ctizer..” The propa
ganda that is reported by the State Depart
ment 's about the same as was he in carried on
from *he Hague during the war. and it is being
kept up as vigorously as before.Tr r.ey with
which, it is said to pay the exp*. -»e- of the
propaganda office being expended through Ger
man official channel Some of the money that
is being used right here in our own community
to create factions is being furnished by German
propagandists and trouble makers. Isn’t it
about time we should wake up. The fi t thing
we know, we shall find our community divided
just because we have allowed ur patience to
be overworked. Where is our Council of Defen
se? if we have such hotly. —
The Prussian minister of finance- pain's a

BOLSHEVISM IS ANARCHY*
Anarchism and bolshevism are synonymous
termn. The American people do not want to
consort with anarchy, and this applies to all
classes of the 'American people.
Rut anarchy is dangerous when it comes mas
ouerading under a new and mysterious name
that is not generally understood.
The so-called bolshevism that is today run
ning rampant in Russia is simply the wildest
kind of anarchy, and the spirit that creates it
is spreading throughout the world. It is found
in what was Austria, in Germany, in the Bal
kans. in Italy, in France, in England and even
In America.
The press of America, and especially the press
of the smaller cities and towns, can do much to
prevent the spread of this terror by simply
railing it by its right name. If the editors of
America will use the terms anarchists and anar
cbv instead of bolshevists and bolshevism they
will do much toward keeping this country of
ours a safe and desirable place in which to live.
Let us oi do what we can to tear the sheep’s
clothing from this Russian wolf that is seeking
to devour the civilization of the world, and
whose most insidious and dangerous propagan
da is its name.—Wright A. Patterson
The marshal’s office and the District Attor
ney’- office have cleaned up the bootlegging in
thi division. The heavy penalties exacted from
the man who peddles the joy-juice illegally by
"iir commissoner is having a wholesome effect
The Third Division is establishing a reputation
r being one of the cleanest in the Territory,
which shows it can be done if the officials are
fearless and active.—Valdez Miner
v CAMOUFLAGED FALSEHIOD
On the first day of the strike officials of the
Metal Trades Council announced that a Seattle
shipbuilding company had sold two steamships
to foreign interests, thereby making a couple
million dollars, the announcement being very
plainly an effort to show big profits.In the same
papers were telegrams from Washington. D. C.
showing that senators from the state of Wash
ington were severely criticising the U. S. Ship
ring hoard for refusal to permit shipyards to
accept foreign contracts, especially reference
being made to shipyards of the state of Wash
in«ton, So ihat the public can judge as to how
this falsehood was camouflaged, it need only be
-aid that the sale of the two ships to foreign
oners took place many, many months before
the strike, and even before the entry of the
J n>ted States into the world war, and since then
•' members of the Metal Trades Council had
-babiy absorbed all the alleged profits.—Rail
