WHAT IT MEANS N0\\
A subscriber asks the meavkyr of tiw word
Bolsheviki. This word is in
and literally translated, rra
“Bolsheviki” as a consequence w' he extremes
to which the Trotzky-Lenine regime in Russia
hsa gone, has according io our opinion, become
ot universal use as designating the party and a*
narchical policy that has torn down the fabrics
of civilization in Russia, and thrown the whole
country into chaos anti misi-vj It has done
more, it has reached our own country—yes our
own town, with its base of operation in Seattle,
where the bolsheviks have kindled the fire that
will soon destroy the very foundation of our
government, unless the real majority takes a
hand end wrings the notion heads
that the world owes them a livhv-.
HART) TO TEI.T.
-Scott Nearing, the well known Socialist lead
ersaid recently: “The coming 1*. ague of nations
is a capitalist international, <*■ lined to oppose
the rise of popular rev . : nts in
all countries.” This is a new interpretation of
affairs; and coming from a Socialist, is both in
teresting and suggestive. It was generally sup
posed that Socialists indorsed the proposed'
step as a means of advancing socialism. Accord
ing to this man, this was incorrect. Just what
do Socialists believe or want i a muni tv hard
thing to say, for they appe; r noi knowing them
selves.
A HYPOCRITE ALSO
Von Bethmann-Hollweg is a great authority
on the terms of “a just peace,” about which he
gave an interview recently. His sincerity, of
course is not open to question. His whole life
in recent years has been devoted to protecting
“nations small and large against violence and
insure integrity of their property and honor.”
Think of his speech at the beginning of the
war. in which he declared that all Germany had
to consider in its violation of Belgium neutrali
ty was how it could “hack its way through.”
Again his defense and support of the submar
ine warfare and the sinking of the Lusitania.
Yes. Hollweg is a fine specimen of humanity, a
leader for live years among the foulest of arch
criminals, he now adds hypocrisy to the crimes
which will make his name accursed until even
the historv of Germany’s part in the great war
has gone almost forgotten.
The difference is this: Our aliens who went
to the front and fought for the country, or who
prepared themselves? to fisrht. proved cortdusi
vely their Americanism; and those who renoun
d their right to citizenship in order to avoid
military servce, proved that they lacked the
■■ unities that would make them Americans.
We are all expectation, and for this reason:
The French suffragettes having received the
same answer from President Wilson as he gave
our suffregettes a few years ago, our though
is Whetehr they will picket the Murat palace
and how the French police will deal with them.
In Portland, Oregon, the amount of delinq
uent Red Cross pledges has exceeded $14,000
This will be news to the residents of Ketchi
kan for none ever thought that anybody could
fail to keep his word to the Red Cross.
Harvey says that 1919 ought to be a fine year
for baseball, and he figures it this way: This
year has two first rate nines in it and each of
them has “one” to the good.
Recently the exClown Prince of Germany
; was reported to have remarked; “My father
and I are gentlemen, after all.” And some one
said that “after all was right.”
The report that the traveler between Seward
and Anchorage is compelled to go between the
two terminals by dog team after the vast a
mount of money spent to build the government
railroad, is not encouraging to say the least. If
winter traffic over the road cannot be kept up
it wall be of very little use to Alaska, as the
steamships amply supply all demands of the
people during the summer months.—Vald/z
